WHY LOUIS NAPOLEON is NOT YET EMPEROR.
The idea of assuming the title of Emperor has
been dropped for the present. 1t is fact, never
theless, that on Thursday night it was determined
More moderate counsels have, however, prevailed
since, and Louis Napoleon will content himself for
the present with the title Of President Of the Re-
public Others say that he will assume that of
Prince Regent Of the Republic. One ofthe difficult
ties which stand in the way of the Presidents pro-
clamaton of his title rs Emperor is obvious. Is he
to call himself Napoleon III. or Napoleon III. If he
the former title pc Ignores the imperial
own hereditary claim. II he assume the latter, he
flies in the face Of the European cabinets, by ig.
noring the governments which were established in
France under their auspices and by their treaties.
This embarrassing question is said to have recon
ciled Louis Napoleon to the maintenance of his pre-
sent title His civil lis. is to amount to twelve
millions of francs.
InE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE PRESIDENT.
We have nov to announce to you very i'm por-
/ tant fact, which will make an immense sensation
throughout France. The oath Of allegiance to his

At present We hear that this chamber will be
chosen in their own body by $4,000 electors named
by universal suffrage. Owing to the changes
which take place daily in the determination Of tho
highest councils, it is impossible to announce any
thing as definitely fixed before sees the actual
decree in the Monaer; but these, we are assured
from an excellent source, are the latest resolutions
Of the President and his most intimate advisers. IL
is reported that at the same time with the con-

The Pays contains remarkable-aric by NJ
de Ia Gucronnere, in which we receive the first
ntmation that Louis Napoleon intends TO dispense
with the usual official notification to foreign courts
OF his Te-ele ction, as step below the dignity OF
France. The President intends to let the result
of the election OF December 20 and II be commu-
nicated by the ordinary channels of diplomacy.
Whenever revolution has occurred in France it
has been usual TO make the accepted by

Louis Napoleon might have employed either ex-
traordinaIy and special ENJOYS to announce his re-
election, or tie ambassadors already accredited at
foreign courts. The most dgnided course he can
take is to do neither. This, says the Pays, "has
nothing menacing for foreign governments But
it is well to show to Europe that iethe new power
counts upon the friendship and loyalty of European
cabinets, it counts before all upon itself; and its
confidence in the re spect Of treaties, and ia the
