Rw In France, as was expected, the people have
declared with great unanimity for the empire. The
vote was cast on the 21st and 22d of November.
The ceremony was conducted with marked order
and decorum. The returns from ei8hty-three de-
partments are, including the army and navy, yeas
100000, Mays 100000. Napoleon was doubt
less proclaimed emperor on the I'd of November,
the anniversary of three important epochs in French
hstory-the coronation of his uncle, the battle of
Austerlitz, and his coup detat. 1t is said that inn
mediately on his assumption of the imperial dig
nifty, he designs publishing a manifesto to the
world and to France, both to be essentially pa
c.fc in their character. These of course will not
in the slightest degree be indicative of his course.
He is cunning slippery politician, possessed ofea
towering hereditary ambition. These characters
