IPei" VI ulc french 10 annex Belgium. series OF
measures was deliberately commenced months ago,
ana is now IN full process Of execution having this end
in view It is not merely the Empire be ye well assured
IT is not the Empire only that is the fixed idea Of Louis
NAPOLEON; but it is the Empire ,eas with the Alps
and Rhna for It's eastern boundaries Doubt not he will
ever slider his work but half done he will ever dread
that contemporary and future history will fix upon him
the nickname that vrcTon HUGO has applied to him. Ma
pole on petit" until France shall be allowed to brsahe
freely" within her natural limits.
Let therefore, England and the other Powers make up
their minds at once and prepare for war; if they
make war rather than the annhation Of Belgian
tcnality LOUIS NAPOLEON is very actively and skill
fully getting up French party in Belgium by appealing
to the interests c the industrial classes He has already
succeeded to certain extent. His ministers and jour
mails daily seeking excite and embtter the quarrel
between the two Governments in order in the sequel
have open acts of hostility The relations
the two Governments during the last six months plainly
evnce this; and yesterday morning the seiocal Gov
ernment paper the Pays (which will soon is sad take
the title of Journal Of the Empre contains remarkably
angry article against the Belgian Government for olerat
ing such abuses of the press it without any
cifcaton however in proof of the averment have dis
graced the country touching the late internal machine
and the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON The outrageous license
of Belgian writer's Of tolerated French writer's in Bel
gum, conduced to and promoted the formation of the
plot and now excuse it, The yirtuous M. DE GuEUoS-
MERE is shocked at the horrible immortality of the Bel
gan press and the bad French in which the pamphlets
written affect and act the elegant critic hardly less
sensiby The chief editor of the future Journal of the
Empire thus concludes aluding to the late adjournment
for month of the Belgian Chambers and to the Minis
erial crisis produced at Brussels by the plain and mpu
dent interference of the French Government in Begums
domestic affairs. The counsel sounds to my ears very
like threat
The Belgian Chambers will meet in a few days. aftel
having been adjourned in consequence Of crisis which
may profoundly modify the state of that country. We
hope they will reflect and that they will comprehend
what they owe to the honor of Belgium to its security
and to its future. We trust they will impose upon the
liberty that flows from their Constitution the proby
which flows from the moral law. We hope it for Bel
GUMS sake especially Its interest less than its duty
commands such 1t is feebleness that CON-
promits States But it is by their prudence and equity
that they save themselves"
What is to be the style of the new Emperor? This is
the important inquiry which is occupying in large
degree the mind of Paris Shall he call himself Napo-
leon ILL., or Napoleon H. Louis Napoleon L. By the
first he would declare himself the contnuer not the
founder, of dynasty and recognising the reign of the
Duke of Reichstadt, son of the Emperor Napoleon he
would date the commencement of his reign from the
death of the Duke (22d July 1892 completely ignoring
the reigns of Louis XVIII of Charles X Louis Philippe
and the Republic By the second he would put himself
forth as the contnuer of dynasty, but would avoid
what esteemed great mistake in Louis XVIII
by acknowledging Governments de acto the preceding
revolutionary antdynastc Governments The last title
is the which, it to prudence would counsel
him to take, 1t avoids all kncty points and will equally
suit the founder the continuer Of dynasty. 1t will
offer nopretex either for the of that odous dstinc
en of which he is evidently lie
Grand and Napoleon lie Petit Vive LOUIS NAPOLEON
! see by late letter from Vienna that NJ HUlsEMASS
late Austrian Minister at Washington has been provided
with Office in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the
Austrian capital 1t would seem therefore settled tha
he will not return to Washington.
