The southern tour Of the President of FRANCE
has not yet been brought to a close According to
the veracious telegraphic reports forwarded from
the departments to Paris, Nismes and Montpelier
have been extravaganty enthusiastic as even the
heart of an Emperor could desire. Joy was de-
picted on every countenance, and only one cry pro-
ceeded from every mouth, that of Vipe pEpeur Vire

and all its attendant circumstances, bulletins included
are nothing but prearranged pageant got up at very
considerable cost both of money and truth for the pur
pose of making Frenchmen and the nations of Europe
believe that France painting for the restoration of the
Empire We may safely take for granted that the
establishment of the Empire has been decided upon and
that it will take place within very brief period NIcHo-
of Russia may frown, and FRANZ JOSEPH may indg-

effort Of the President would be directed lie has

that, for the present, Louis Napoleon will be satisfied
with the personal and family victory, but that he would
not be very sorry the continental Powers were to give
him fair opportunity for attempting reintegrate the
Empire.
