The following curious piece Of in
formation tells its own story. The
Belfast Chronicle. from which take
il. is one Of the most trustworthy
and reliable journals in the United
Kingdom
There lives in Paris a gentleman
who IN December. lS47, wrote-"I
can see with perfect clearness that
Louis Philippe will not be three
months on the throne of France" 7"
Louis Philippe was exiled in Feb
ruary, lS46. That gentleman wrote
shortly after the Presidential cleo
fion--"This Bonaparte scion is
traitor. Not a man looks at him out
feels the instinct of avoiding him as
treacberous man. He will strike
for the ConsuIship-for the Dictator
ship; and God knows what will
folIowr, He struck. The coup
dn etat of December, 1851. tells in
history hov he struck. The same
gentleman wrote in March of the
present year-"The tyrant aims at
The empire. His gaze is fixed upon
the crown. Before year there will
be a revival of the Bonapartean
dynasty. and the French will kneel
before Napolean the Third" The
empire has come.
The man who predicted these
events is no common man. He
thinks and looks around him. He
participates in many movements
quietly. and gathers knowledge
which, in our view, no other man at
this moment in or out Of Paris could
find means to acquire. His previous
predictions give US confidence in
what he states. 10 fact we know
him, and know that he would not
detail as truth what he dId not know
to be true, for he is generally one oil
the least speculative individuals we
have ever met.
Well, that gentIeman-we would
give bis name il we were permitted
writes the subjoined on Thursday
last, and all before whom il comes
can measure its worth, and the
amount of credence to be attached
to it from what they have already
learned. The revelation will seem
curious TO many; to US it is by no
means so, as we are aware of the
sources from which much OF his iE-
formation is derived, and how he
derives it. That il is true we are
convinced, and that the British Gov
ernment are cup" to the machina-
tions of the French Emperor is
evident from the revived state OF our
delences, from the embodiment OF
our militia, from The addition to our
maritime hands, and from the estab-
lishment of a Channel Fleet.
The following is the communica-
tion referred to-
In secluded part OF the wood ol
Bolougne, at place called Madria'
whilome the residence OF Lamartine
is a house surrounded by trees, and
the windows Of which are never
opened, except sometimes at dawn,
as if to LET in fresh air. This house,
all day, and on many nights, has the
air of being uninhabited; but often
= times at night there comes about
suspicious looking characters, who
take up their posts in the thickets,
and then about twelve or one up
come several carriages, with the
blinds close down, the porte cOchere
isopened mysteriously, they drive in
and the door closes behind Them.
What is this place? a
1t is the residence Of Virginie la
Sabotiere.
'uS This, for many persons--indeed,
nearly all-is no explanation. But
let us enter, one evening last week,
and perhaps what may Re going on
may enlighten US.
nv In an apartment, sumptuously
furnished, is a grand supper laid out,
resplendent with plate and brilliant
with lights, and around sit halt a
dozen men and as many women,
who, while slipping their champagne,
are talking animatedIy of conquest
and empire, of aggression and
rapine.
"Yes," says one, striking his fist
on the tabIe-a man with heavy
mustache, hooked nose, and saturine,
bilious countenance-ttye es, when
