PARIS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IL, 1852
My letter Of this date will be entirely taken up
by the important political documents which have
made their appearance during the week, connected
with the transition, now in rapid progress of con-
summation, of the Republic to the Empire. At the
date of my last (4th November) the Senate was
meeting, according to the decree Of convocation to
prepare the Senatus Consultum. Events have
marched since exactly in the order anticipated but
somewhat mere rapidly. We shall probably have
the Empire proclaimed week or ten days earlier
than the earliest period had assigned. Appear
ances now promise it for the I'd December, the an
niversary Of the coup detat Of last year, the ami
versary also of the battle Of Austerlitz and of the
coronation 5000 Of Napoleon |. The Senate has
deliberated, voted, and rendered to the Prince at
st. Cloud, the senatus consultum providing for the
re-estabhshment of the Empire. The Prince, ac-
cepting the work Of the Senate has issued his de-
cree thereon, convoking the people in primary as
semblies throughout France for the 2lst and 22d
instant TO pronounce the acceptance or rejection Of
the senatus consultum. Another decree calls the Legs
ave Corps together the 18th instant for the purpose
Of verifying the votes and proclsming the result Of this
appeal to the people The from the
departments will have reached Paris by the 18th. The
Legislative Body will then Immediately commence it's
work All the returns may be received and verified in
time for the proclamation Of the Empire to take place by
the I'd Of December. The senatus copsultum and de-
