The most important matter now sgitated in
France is the vote Of the Senate and the proclama-
ton Of the Sen0fsts co~ssttn, in favor of the EN-.
pire The Senate assembled on Thursday last, and
the first proposition that was made, after the gene
raj call Of the present and absent MEMBERS was that
Of the proclamation of the Empire. 1t is said, and
know it from very reliable source that the only
persons who opposed it, among al the Senators,
we're Vieillard and NJ. Mosnard. The first is
true republican, and the second is dissatisfied with
Louis Napoleon fer having given to N. Troplong
the Office Of Proc1a.r General de PEmpvs. They
both made useless opposition, but at least showed
some courage in doing M. Troplong, the
favored Procureur, had, as matter Of course,
prepared his speech, and on Sunday last, when the
company met at the Palace Of the Luxembourg, to
decide upon the Empire, and to proclaim the Ssnats
cosssLfuns, the opposition of the two above named
members was put down, and they were obliged to
sign the document.
Before proceeding any further, must give you
piece of intelligence which is not to be found in
any Of the newspapers of France or Belgium, but
which will be of great interest to the United States
On Saturday last, when the committee of the Senate
assembled ut the Luxembourg, the Prince Gambia
ceres, who, like his father, is not in favoroc Jerome
Bonaparte being heir Of Louis Napoleon in case
Of his death, told his confre,cs that he would
oppose article ith Of Louis Napoleon's Senatus-
so~sultsm In the same moment, Jerome, who had
been told that there was an opposition against him
and his ia uily, into the apartment, and after
. very violent speech, which was answered by some
of the Senators, commenced calling all his contem.
poraries towards, canaitles, and other names
which we're not Of very parliamentary syle. I'm.
nediatcly after this debate, the committee Of the
Senate called at St Ci0ui to see Louis Napoleon,
and reported the whole affair to him. The future
Emperor, who is exre mely cunnin &, was very glad
of all this and though he protested against the
refusal Of the Senate to admit Prince Jerome and
ut the time against the entire rejection Of his
uncle. Nevertheless, he concluded to accspt the
conditions Of the Senate, AMI they separated with
the understanding that Jersme should never be
chosen successor to Louis Napoleon.
As soon as Jerome heard the particulars Of this
interview, he became much excited, and ssut in his
resignation Of President Of the Senate, also that
of Governor of the Invalides Louis Napoleon re-
fused accept the latter. but he accepted the for
ner, and since that have been told that he has
declared that the Presidency of the Senate will for
the future be held by the Emperor himself jerome
had also threatened that he would leave France; but
second thought he has not yet left the Hotel dss
Invalides 1t is well known that ex King Jerome
he far from being popular in France, and Though
he Is the brother Of the great Napoleon, he is re-
garded by every Frenchman as the enemy of France
Besides all this, Jerome is, what call III France,
. man tare.
It is not necessary for to report here in full all
the proceedings of the Seaatlscoasbitun,a aud Louis
Napoleon's message, speeches and sayings; but
will only say, that the last words of the message By
which the future Emperor Rnnihilates the DEGREES
Of 1914, with his usual cummings have much excited
the political and diplomatic world of Europe
The Stndtui-constitun which re.establishes the
Empire, is short it could be; and this more
striking when one compares 1T with the Senatns-
eossptam Of the 18th Nav, lS0f-com posed, as t is
we'll known, of sixteen chapters and one hundred
and forty two articles. The present document de-
eares that the Empire is renovated in France whilst
the document of 1904 only entrusted to Napoleon,
- Emperor, the government of the French republic
Napoleon was only allowed to select for his sue
osssors the children of his brothers, Joseph and
Louis, when they were eighteen years old. Bat Ma
poleon the Third has the power. By the Seaatus
so~sxun, to select the children and grandchildren
Of all the brothers 0f Napoleon, without any cond
tion as to age There also article in the de-
cument Of 1904 relative to the 'civil list, which
fixed at the sum of twenty four millions offraucs
the new Senatus conSSitn,n, however, contains
no paragraph that subject; snd besdcs that it Is
declared that the Senate will regulate the position
Of the members of the Napoleon family. Toe last
aYh of Styrh rpa ertyfp tha futr
Emperor full authority over all the members Of
his fa mily is still more powerful than the do
ounent Of 1904, which only regulated the duty of
the members of the Napoleon family towards the
the new Sen0tuS hpni relative to the re organ
cation Of the grandeS dignites Of the future Empire
which we're one of the heaviest burden, in the
budget of that time. No one can tell if Louis Ma
pole intention is to re estab those dignisies
by decree OF not.
The oath of allegiance Of Louis Napoleon is not
even mentioned in the Senatts- cowsuLnai and one
has forgotten that Emperor Napoleon the First had
sworn ITO maintain the integrity of the republic
to respect and make respected the laws Of the Cca
oordat, and the freedom Of reirion-to respsct AMI
make respected the equality Of rights, the political
and civil liberty, the inyioishlty Of the national
properiy-not to levy any taxes without laa-to
maintein the Order Of the Legion of Honorto govern
with sole aim to the interests happiness and gory
Of France" No doubt if the nephew was now
Obliged to make sn oath, 1t would not be like this;
but il is well to remark that no one asks an oath
from him.
By decree Of the 7tb inst the people of France
are called to the polls to vote for the Empire the
2Ist and I'D iusts.
The Legislative body viii also meet, by a decree
dated the same day, on the 25th inst in order to
il the votes have been regular, and to proclaim
the addition Of the same votes
AZ may be seen, the Empire is nearly du fat nc
eomp. and the probability is that tho gr and affair
will take place the second of December next the
anniversary Of the corp detat, and perhaps before

The news of the death Of the Princs Of Leuchten-
berg son nsv Of the Gear of Russia and first cou-
sin Of Louis Napoleon who breathed his last on the
9th inst at st Petersburg has caused much sensa-
tion At st. Cloud 1t is said that the Prince Of
Leuchtenberg, being of the Beaubarnsis family,
would have been designated Of the heirs to ths
Empire Of France. This act Of cunning OF Louis
Napoleon had for it's object, as it may be seen, to
place himself on good terms with Russia. But "man
proposes and God disposes."
