FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.
PARIS, DEcEMBER Is, 1852

zerland and six of the European monarchies, which
have, in compliance with the intimation given by
the French Minister Of Foreign Affairs about two
weeks since forwarded to their resident ambassadors
and ENJOYS new letters accrediting them as repre-
sentatives of their respective Governments at the
Court of NAPoLEoNIII The seven States which have
thus acknowledged Napoleon III. are, in the order
of the reception of their letters by the Emperor
follows The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Great
Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, the King
dom of Sardinia, and Spain You remark the alb
sence from the above list of the three Powers whose
adherence is looked for with most nterest-R Russia
Austria, and Prussia. The absence of Russia need
not yet perhaps excite attention. for, unless it had
evinced the undgnifed alacrity Of the Bourbon Co.
vcrnment of Naples, (Which prepared and forwarded
its Ministers credentials in advance, time sufficient
has not elapsed since the proclamation Of the En-
pre cd December) for the receipt of fresh letters
from St. Petersburgh But this true of Austria and
Prussia With these Powers there is evident want Of
alacrity if downright hesitation Yet it is hardly
be presumed that they will carry their antpahy to the
dynasty of BoNApARTE to the length of refusing the usual
diplomatic intercourse whit Such would tend
realize the dangers they apprehend from the restora
ton of the French Empire and prespate the war for
which one is so well disposed SO well prepared
from which would have much to gain as Napo
leon III. Russia, Austria, and Prussia WILL therefore,
in all probability, after little delay which, unless they
positively to refuse it would have been better per-
haps avoid newly accredt their ambassadors resident
in Paris
We now daily looking for the amendments to the
Constitution rendered necessary by the events of the I'd
December. The most important changes will, it is
derstood be those affecting the Emperors civil list This
is to be reformed upon SCALE the Government papers
assert commensurate to the grandeur Of Napoleon Ill
and to the decisive role which imperial France play
in fixing the desnies of Europe. The civil list thus re-
gulated must exceed largely that of LOUIS PHLrE and
the Bourbon sovereigns The sittings Of the Senate
which has the subject before them, will promptly be
brought close The result Of their abors will not be
known till the final adjournment for the journals for
hidden to publish any account of the Senates proceed
ngs. The body preends deliberate and discuss but it
is ridiculous suppose that it would have the audaciy
to reduce by the value of five centimes any which
the Emperor has been pleased to indicate that which
would be acceptable to himself An article, however
published two days since in the Monieur, gives to
derstand that the figure of the civil list will be very mag
nifcent
Ii the Emperor cannot for moment entertain the
idea of reconstructng the monarchy with those superan
nuated elements which would shock at the present day
the national sentiment and MANNERS if he does for
get that is the people that has borne him to the throne
to govern in the interest of the people, good and
the Emperors frank sincerity of purpose forbid him
undertake the impossible task Of ruling the Empire un-
der conditions which would not respond to the
and to the dignity of France"
The article then adds:
The expected senatus-con sultum will also provide
that dowry shall be appointed the Empress when the
Emperor shall be married, and that annual doton of
fifteen hundred thousand francs 1880 500 shall be estab
hshed in favor of the Princes of the Imperial family and
divided among them conformaby to the decisions of his
Majesty According to the senatusconsntum of the eth
November the imperial family is composed exclusively
the Princes who shall be placed by the will of the Empe
ror in the line of succession"
This last remark of the Moncr seems inconsistent with
what so far as have SEEM has been the universal con-
strucon put upon the senatusconsutum of the eth No
vember The imperial family has been supposed to con-
sst not only of the Emperor himself his children and the
princes of the Bonaparte family whom he may hereafter
name as his successors in the event Of his dying without
son, but Of the Emperor and his descendants and of all
the princes Of the Bonaparte family composing the group
from which the Emperors choice of succession must be
made, and their descendants of both sexes
The marriage of the Emperor NAPOLEON I'LL with the
Princess WAsA WILL it is believed be consummaed in the
month of January The apartments at the Tuileres are
newly furnished with special reference to the acoommoda
ton Of an Empress The crown eweer is busy prepar
ing ornaments which only serve for lady and for
one occupying that high position The miniature of the
Princess CAROLINE has been shown to special circles at
entertainments of ST. Cloud for six weeks past and in
short journal has announced without being seized for
propagatng false news that the Count DE FLAHAUr has
already been named special ambassador with the mission
Of proceeding to Germany marrying the Princess by pro-
curaton and conducting her into France her rghtfu
lord and husband, NAPOLEON III see it announced to-
day Though not officially that the Popes hesitation to
give the holy sanction of his presence to the coronation of
the Emperor at Notre Dame has been overcome have
ever thought this the almost necessary result under the
circumstances The ceremony however, is not conter-
plated before the spring
