The rumor that Louis Napoleon intends to invade
England at his first leisure moment, has gained
ground to such an extent, and there is in reality
so much foundation for the supposition, that tho

Louis Napoleon, meantime, has run aground.
My last letter announced to you change of MI
nstry and the confscation of the Orleans property
Ibis step has created a sensation unexample1,
and has done more to damage the reputation Of
Louis Napoleon than the confscation of French
liberty, which he did by slight of hand, than the
gaggng Of the press, and the Punishment Of some
1000 innocent persons.
Every man of respectable feeling for equity in
France, has refused to join his ministry. Even M.
Dupin has rendered his resignation as Attorney
General. 1t Is regarded as the first blow against
all property A very eminent man observed that it
was the decaptation of property; he compared it to
the deeapitatlon of Louis XVI, which was soon
followed by wholesale murders,

in SS on the question of the conscaion of this very
property, brought onward on the 10th Oct of that
year, by nj: jules Favre. There is but one OPT
MON upon this subject. But Louis Napoleon wants
funds, and he cares very little how he obtains
them 1t must DO said til at he has, if may so
express myself, all the virtues of great criminals
he sticks at nothing. Even his brother (or rather
half brother) dc Morny. was obliged to leave him.
The imperial eagle, however, raises his pnions
above public opinion. He cannot kill everybody
who speaks, or stfe the young thought in the
mind, but he abolishes newspapers that speak
against him, exies men that are hostile TO him,
and lords it supreme. How France can stand this
much longer, am at a loss to tell. have spoken
with various Frenchmen the subject, and they all
e1caim cest fame cest iniign but they have not
the pluck to form and advance. They are cowed.
They are aware that Louis Napoleon will sweep
the streets with grape, without hesitation. French
men arc slaves at the present moment.
