The Paris correspondent Of the London Ne,cs

The Paris correspondent OF the London NelcS
says:-
Among the reports which 60 far to confirm the general
expectation OF the proxmae establishment of the
pire have heard to day which is by the
least significant 1t is said that the President dis
solved his illicit connection with Miss Howard and recon-
lied that lady by the condition of handsome settle
aaous in proportion to the elevation and plendor of the
power to which it is attached by forbidden link and
from which it receives glazing reflection.
The correspondent of the London Tunes tells q
different talc:-
The facts mentioned in my letter of Monday last re-
latve to he reception Of the Count and Countess of
Nhambord by the Grand Duke. at Venice, confirmed
in every respect by information which has reached
subsequently. and which leads me to hope that shall
soon have further details the subject 1t
appears that the intelligence was communicated officially
the government here whom it made disagrecablc
impression and am assured that 1t the know
ledge of these circumstances that occasoned the al
fusion to the empire in the Presidents address to the
Judges Sunday on their taking the oaths of ALE
eiance. Another incident-thc reported interview at
Ax-la Chapec between the Duke Aumale and Generals
Cbangarncr and Lamorciere the return of the Duke
from italy to Engand-has also contributed not per-
haps to excite alarm, but certainly to annoy the go
vernment and as it seldom happens that trouble
alone the death of Primes schwarzcnberg has in
creased their dissatisfaction private letter from Wen
attribute the death Of the Prince to excite
ment occasioned by certain political controversies and the
dc under which he suffered fourteen fifteen
days before the aet fatal stroke il expanedhow truly
it is here difficult to sayby similar 1t was in
vain that his nearest surviving relative to whom he
tenderly ut ached cndeavored to calm him. and to dwell
earnestly the weakness Of yielding to such anxiety
and violent irritation every time that he considered him
self sighted by his imperial master or that he suspected
his influence undermined by older and more power
ful statesman The inpatient and naughty temper of
Prince sehwarzonberg could not brook such sights All
these thirgs, together with the symptoms Of
gaDiged opposition IN the legislative corps, nume
aud compact than the government certainly
expected tend TO put the ministers into i'll humor Yet
Itccyc they take these things more seriously to heart
than the President Of the republic himself Whether it
be from superstous feeling, or from great irmness OF
character Louis Napoleon s said to be as confident OF
his position present and future as he that he exists
aud he j. under the impression that were he to pro-
claim himself Emperor tomorrow, he would meet with
no obstacle at home and from abroad may be pro-
test bit nothing more. Whether TINS DC aelf deuson
net | believe IL TO be the fact
Tire general opinion among political men is, that
4he nroclauaton of the empire will take place in
yer, short time. Public rumor has fixed on the
Eth OF May for the purpose On that day great
review i TO take place the Place dc Carrouscl, at
which Il is calculated that nearly 10000 men, in
Guiding the regular troops and the National
Gualds, viii be present. 1t is said that on
That occasion the troops viii be encouraged
to salute tho Emperor with their accama-
lions, md that a plebiscite viii immediately
afterwards he submitted TO the people, asking the
opiniou OF France on the subject. Similar rumors
have been current on former occasions, which led
10 nothing; hut il must be said that the proba-
bity 81 their being right, was never greater
thnn now While the eagle IS thus spreading
his wings. and preparing for new ascent, the
secret societies we are informed are trying %
aeoiu bind together their broken links IN Paris
Some joints OF That tail, Which iately was 80 ,nSy
have been got together, we are ton; ana IN ~
tempt i made to roconnect them. The propagan.
,ism is once more attempted, and funds are raised
for the purpose.
The Military Journal notices the fact that con

Of Prussia. for the French army. Purchases arr
also being made for the same purpose in HOLLAND
and Belgium. The K,eus Zetnng adds anothe
fact, that the agents charged with the bushes
have made minute inquiries for the addresses OF al
those who have served in the armies OF the empire
Of which the war Office contains no account.
