PARIS, SEPTEMBER 23, 1852.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT is pursuing, like con-
queror, his triumphal career through the Central
Provinces. He has visited already the principal
districts that in 1S48 and 1S49 sent to the Assem-
bly, the most ultra Democrats and Socialists and
his reception every where is the same. A single
cry, that Of Nioe PEmpereur! really seems to be
hailing him at every step from all classes of the
population. | must extract from the Monater
Of this morning-because it is the official Cor
eminent paper plich speaks and because the
chief writer for that paper, though he does not
sign his name like other political journalists, is
known to be personal friend Of the Prince, high
employe, who has been brought to Paris expressly
to be the editor Of the Moniteur-a portion of an
article upon this subject The Moniteur Of this
morning says:
transpiring the south Of France II is magnificent
spectacle, that Of great people identifying itself thus
by all the sentiments Of the heart with the chief ii has
given to itself Let this trumphal progress of the Prince
in the midst of the public security Of popular ss and
reocngs be compared with the frghtfu spectacle which
reserved to the world if Providence had inspired
and supported the energetic measures which have saved
every thing; and then astonishment will be felt that
is in the very places where socialism seemed most
tain to realize it disastrous projects that the most lively
enthusiasm has burst forth from the masses of the
population This throng which thus p0urs forth TO meet
the Prince is it party only, class fraction Of France?
No, it is the entire nation; the clergy and the bench
the nobility and the burgess class the army Of land and
sea the aborng of the cities, and the poughman
of the fields 1t is all classes and all citizens who
tearing themselves from their habitual occupations and
coming up from the most remote of the land to
mingle themselves together in common outgushing
of gratitude and devotion" =
Every where, throughout all the ranks of the social
order, are remarked the sentiments and the
we're added the formal expressions of the desires Of
the General Councils and these have been yet
pcitly confirmed by the Addresses of the communes.
Then come up the acclamatons of the multitude, who,
with that ankness of heart which knows paraphrase
antiquities Of speech declares loudly that its will is to
bestow upon its elect only all the authority necessary
for the accomplishment Of his mission but all the condi
tons also which the durability of that authority,
and all the titles which its solemn conservation Such
is the will Of the country The Prince has responded
he well might, as he ought to have responded
" In all matters which involve the general interests
strive in advance of the wishes of the nation
follow them when there is question of interest that
might seem personal"
What the Prince said Nevers he confirmed at Lyons
the occasion of the Inauguration Of the Emperors
statue
g At every point Of my passage has arisen the unani
cry of Viue PEmpere But this cry is my eyes,
far the expression of souvenir which touches my
heart than of hope that touches my pride
Prudence and patriotism both require that the nation
should calmly collect itself before fixing its destnies It
is yet difficult for me to know under what name may
render the greatest services If the modest title of Pre-
sident could facilitate the mission which has been con-
fded to me, and from which have drawn back it is
who, from personal considerations would desire to
exchange this title for that OF Empereur."
What signifies in fact Of providence the title
under which they TO the fufment of their august
will bed drnini
by 1t nor enhanced the esteem Of posterity But
ons have their instincts, of which should be
taken for in most cases it is remarked that these instincts
coincide with their verabe interests. 1t is their own
prosperity that they would guaranty by the
of the power of their chief France already so proud to
see at her head the heir of the glorious name would
assure to itself long future of grandeur and of peace
by investing with durable authority the Prince by whom
she has been saved"
will just add the remark, in this connexon, that
the Princes speech at Nevers modfes materially the
conditions laid down in his address at the opening
OF the Assembly last spring, as those which might
render expedient the assumption of the imperial
purple by the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON Then the
title of Empereur made dependant upon the tran
quty Of parties and their acquiescence and submission
to the Government which had been established no
he declares himself ready follow" if the expression
of the popular will takes that direction The columns of
the official Journal the Moneu have been almost exclu-
svey occupied during the last ten days by the record in
every variety of form of the evidences of the fact the
popular will has taken that direction. The article above
quoted appearing this morning the evidence and
argues in plain terms, you see that the H
of France plainly is, that LOUIS NAPOLEON the
purple. Ergo, the purple must be assumed. Q. E. D.
1t is said that at Bourges conspiracy discovered
for the assassination of the Prince and that several ar
rests have been made in consequence The Consudonne
of to-day denies the truth of this report.
