twenty -four hours absence from Paris and recorlng
eleven distinct instances in which general and
thusiastc shouts of Hpe PEmperer have welcomed the
Prince This shows Of course the rapid progress in favor
OF the Empire made by public opinion during the last two
months The Prince with Characteristic abnegation of
SELF listens to these demonstrations like who knows
the point 70 which they inevitably tend and whose mind
is calmly made up to the sefsacrfce implied by accep-

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 20, 1852.
The triumphal tour of the Prince LOUIS NAPo-
LEON through the middle and southern provinces,
and speculation upon the speedy realization of the
Empire, are now the topics that occupy all minds.
Appearances now indicate that we will have the
scenes before the commencement of 1853
A storm of popularity and enthusiasm, which, whe-
ther spontaneous the forced unnatural production
Of prefectoria alchymy alike discreditabe to the
French people, and proves their unftness for lber
ty and their unworthiness to rank among nations
capable of self-government, is bearing the Prince
rapidly, surely, irresistby to the throne 1t would
be insupportably tresome for me to attempt to fol-
low the Prince step by STEP and repeat to your
readers the shouts of popular and unctionary aduaton
and worship which meet him every where He has not
yet passed through single that has not lavish
ed upon him the epithets of Emperor Sdrour Of France
Protectorof Religion! Hope Of Socey, with unanimity,
and enthusiasm Of which parallel is only
be found in the life Of Napoleon the Great But what
are we to think Of ten millions of who thus hail
of the character and services of LOUIS NAPOLEON
BoSApARrE shall give, during the continuance of the
tour but few Of the official dispatches by which the
onite, in its daily columns makes historical these
tua demonstrations of the French people in favor of the
Empire They all resemble each other. Let this suffice

is merely the sympathy Of people with good Gov
ernment; il is the exatation of gratitude and joy. All
the villages hung with banners, flags rbands, and
devices Arches Of triumph arise all sides; and the
cry Of VIre FEmpe is issuing from all mouths Every
shout every MOTTO every word expresses the hope

The population of the faubourg has shown itself equally
ardent with the miners in its welcome Of the Prince"
The following is specimen of the abject style in which
men who few weeks ago pretended be worthy to be
called Republicans now address their new master The
Municipal Council Of Parigny-la- Rose (Nievre) say:
"Prince we do not know how to express to you all
our gratitude. You have done more in one day for
France than many conquerors have done in the space
several years Those conquerors have given only glory
TO France You Prince have augmented that glory and
have given to country peace and prosperity. We
shall be able 10 give you any thing that will equal
the services you have rendered We only
you that will be- for yourself now and your
cessors hereafter, grateful and deroted subjects"
