from the London Times, NOV o..
The Mo9liteiT has confirmed, with the least possi-
BILE delay, the statement which published yester
day TO the formal est ablishment of the French
Empire, and, with one remarkable exception, this
charge will doubtless be Effected in the manner pro-
posed by Louis Napoleon himself to the Senate
This exception is, that the exking Jerome, and his
hopeful son no longer allowed 20 occupy the ex-
aled station of heirs presumptiye to the crown,
which had been allotted to them by the original
Draft Of the decree. There is, 1T seems, limit
which even the serVilo devotion of the Fronch
Senate to the new order of things cannot pass,
and the acceptance Of such a race OF sove-
reigns as might bc, anticipated from the
progeny Of Jerome BoDaparte lies beyond
that line. Accordingly, when the projected
Ses,QtnS ConsuLtnm was referred to q committee OF
that august body, no less than seven members out
Of ten voted Against The jerome clause. A commu
nication was forthwith made to Louis Napoleon, at
st. Cloud, who, surprised as he might be at this
indication OF viii differing from his own, found
that the repugnance to the adoption Of his uncle
and bis cousin was too deeply rooted to os sur.
mounted, even among the devoted supporters OF tue
imperial scheme. He therefore gave way, probably
from the feeling that after ai 1t matters little. to
himself what becomes OF the supreme power when he
is more, ana from the hope that the birth of is-
sue from his own marriage will set Mt rest all ques-
tiops ofcoateral succession But it less easy to
sooths the irTitated feelings Of jerome and his SON
That parsonage al once declared that it would be
impossible for him to retain his post as President OF
the Senate-tbe very body which had lust passed a
lie has, therefore, resigned it, and, after this family
QUARREL there is no great probability that cordial
understanding will be restored between Louis Napo
leon and his relatives, or between them and tae
nation. To say the truth, it would be piece Of
good fortune, both for him and for France to be
disencumbered Of them altogether. The father is
notorious Tor his unscrupulous rapaciy the SON IS
detessed for his extrayagant alliance with the red
republican party in the worst days of the National
Assembly; and it matters little to themselves or to
auy one else, whether they are Invested with nomi-
nal rights TO the crown, which it is certain they
would never be suffered to exercise
Yet this opposition to the original scheme of Louis
Napoleon has rot beensunfet, even by himself 1t
is sort Of declaration that, although the Senate
and the people may consent TO take Louis Napoleon
as their ruler and may even confer upon him tue
contingent right Of nominating his successor, they
have little OF no faith in those permanent claims Of
the Bonaparte dynasty, which he relies, far more
than or the suirages Of the peoples; and t saovS
that, in corsentng 70 go through this form OF elec
tiop, the Senate Is desirous Of committing itself as
little possible to the chances and uncertainties of
the future
On these tcsns, however, the decree was almost
unanimously voted by the whole body Of the
The legislative body will take no part in this re-
markable transaction except by being allowed to
verify the votes given by the people ut large on the
question to be submitted to them on the 2lst OF
November. For this purpose the legislative body
Is convened for the 25th. But If anything were
wanted to demonstrate it's utter nulity, II is tho
fact that this fundamental revolution in the insti
tutions by which France still processes TO De
governed. should be accomplished without so much
az a communication to the representatives of the
people. in this respect the present restoration of
the empire differs materially from the original pro-
clamation Of II in 1901; when the proposition TO
that effect was legally made by the tribune Cusee
in the lower chamber, debate took place. in which

vote against the proposal, and iS only after the
Measure had been carried by large majority ia

On the present occasion il is clear that Louis Napo
leon he's moi dared 10 encounter the observations
which even suoh chamber as be has cslle into
existence could hsrdy fail TO have made or his pro-
jects
II is a remarkable circumstance that tho same
tetgraphic despatch which spprissg of there par
ticuias, conveys information Of the death of the
Duke dc leuchtenberg, the second son Of Eugene
Beaunninsis and son .ln-isW OF tho Emperor Ntc1o-

shortly sfter bls marriage with tho Queen ot POr.
