ready TO force King Leopold not only to change
the way of governing his country, but also 20 sgn
with France such treaty as it would be deemed
advisable to write, n order to have cur information
al rights respected for the future. The object of
this was, no doubt, to force Leopold to turn out
from his kingdom all the refugees who are obnox-
ieus to France. The article written by Casssgnao
was not only severe, but also insulting in its Ian
guage, and it was much blamed by the Belgian
papers; and they all shouted SO loud, "stop him,
stop him." that M. de Cassagnac thought proper
to write another article to corroborate the first,
which created still more scandal In his last arti
Gle he went so far as to insinuate that the Prince
President himself had given him authority to act in
that manner. As a matter Of course, the astonish-
ment of all the readers was extreme, and they
knew not what to say, when a conimuniQue-
that is to say an article written by the Minister of
the P0lcs-was published in tine Mon,te,r, and
repeated by the other newspapers, disclosing the
whole truth, and proving that Louis Napoleon had
never expressed sentiments such as those which NJ
de Cassagnac had reported as his own, and thus
leaving the violence OF &. 8 language upon his
shoulders Immediately M. VerOn, the doctor, wrote
an editorial, in which, though he did not take the
side of his chief reporter, he nevertheless tried to
prove that his opinion that Cassagnac had been
injured by the chief of the State. Immediately,
NJ. de Maupas, Minister of the Police, sent public
warning" No. 1, to the Constitutional and
threatened its publisher with suspensioa-not hang
ipg-if he ever attempted to insnuate any thing Of
a similar kind. Notwithstanding this threat, NJ
veron replied that when the article had been pub
lished, NJ. Moquard, the private secretary Of the
President, had bought certain quantity Of that
number of the Constitutional, and that NJ. de Cas-
sagnac had also taken 400 copies of it, to be dstr
buted by the Elysee to its friends. In presence of
such proof, the French Minister, NJ de Maupas
has not dared to give another denial on the affair
remains stdtn quo 1t is certain that for some time
past M. de Cassagnac had been quite intime at the
Elysee, where he used to go freely and frequently,
and dine twice week; he was considered as one OF
the pets of the Prince; and much astonished he was
on Saturday last, when having called at the Elysee,
sure that he would receive many compliments
for the article he had written, and which had been
published on that very morning, he received with
the utmost GOODNESS by all the members OF the cab
net. He then approached Louis Napoleon and
bowed to him; but 10 the Prince instead of giving
him Fluctuations, expressed to him, in the most bit
ter terms, his dissatisfaction about his article, which
he considered as Of the greatest improperly. He
also added that he never had given him commission
to place him on the tapis, ana TO engage his pot-
cal faith. M. Graner who is the most impudent
man who ever lived, was, nevertheless, stunned al
such language He Duttered a few words; but
Louis Napoleon refused to listen to him. and turned
his back on the rebuked writer.
1t will be remembered by my readers that, few
weeks ago. the same journal, Le Constitutional,
had published an article of Nj. De Cassagnac, which
expressed the utmost violence against Generals
ChaDgarnier and Lamoriciere. 1t is in vain that
the pamIihittaUs had been summoned by men of
honor TO Tetracf ans words, and TO submit to duel
This did not take. But few days ago, NJ. De
villemessant publisher Of the newspaper La Ch,o-
aique de Paris, attacked the reporter of NJ. Veron
with such violence that it was impossible for him
not to accept the challenge. 1t is said that they
both left this morning for Belgium, to meet adue
will know the issue Of the encounter. and make it
known to my readers. 1t is certain that II M. DE
Cassagnac was shot, no one would regard him, for
he is the most peevish and despicable barking dog
that ever lived
As for the Constitutional, it appears that NJ
Veron has assumed, for some time past, a sort of
protective tone with Louis Napoleon and his politics.
which does not suit exactly the chief Of the State
This way of proving his devotion to the politics Of
the Elysee could only meet, one day or another,
with bad end; and am induced to believe that,
soon as the empire is established when the Moni-
teuu will become the only political newspaper of
France, Louis Napoleon will Immediately suppress
the journal of NJ. Verona fine reward of so much
devotion and support
The change in the ministry is still confirmed; but
it is now well decided that instead of being total
change. it will only be partial modification. NJ.
Fould will be recalled Mt the Ministry of Finances,
and NJ Bineau will take back his former pc sition
of Minister of Public Works de Parieu will
also resume his former position at the Ministry Of
Public Instruction, now occupied by Nj. Fortoal.

The presentation Of the oath to Louis Napoleon is
now ended all over France and the colonies. An
those who were attached to the government have
obeyed or retired. 1t had been put to question
whether the priests curates and Wears would be
quested to take the oath of allegiance to the Prince:
but the bishops and archoishops OF France having
been consulted, it had been thought proper accord
ing to their opinion not 10 make such n request.
Many men ofthe government have nevertheless re-
fused TO take the oath, and among them | will
name Haureau. a hueratcnr Of much talent, who was
Librarian of the manuscripts OF the national library;
an engineer of the mint OF Paris; and NJ Garella,
who was sent by NJ. Guizot to examine the question

The third act of the comedy, under the decree
Of January last, to the property of the D'Orleans
family, performed on the 9th inst, between
the attaches Of the Chateau d'Eu and the emissa-
ries of the government. 1t appears that sale was
to be made of some furniture which belonged to the
dOreans family, when, at the moment of the auc-
ton, the Director Of the Domaines, a haif and
some gendarmes, arrived on the spot, aud, escorted
by the mayor of the city dEu, they summoned the
keeper OF the chateau to give it into their hands.
This was refused, and then the siege began. The
doors were broken, the chains thrown into the walls,
and finally when the vanquishers entered the cha
teau, the keeper and the servants protested against
their intrusion, and retired This laughabe farce
was attended by n large crowd, who attended at
the sack without uttering the least appreciation or
disapprobation. Much gossip is entertained about
