Since his return from Dieppe to st. Cloud, the
Emperor Louis Napoleon has been living quietly in
in his chateau, dividing his time one half with the
political business of the empire, and the other half
going to theatres, to shooting parties at St. Ger.
main, and to military dspsya At the camp of Sato.
ry The political, by ITSELF with the exception Of
the Russo Turkish question IS dull as it could be,
and am bound to say, as a faithful reporter, that
the pleasures Of the French Emperor have also ex.
perienced the same dullness. At Satory the snthu-
siasm Of tho troops was so small that tho
generals and officers knew not how to face at
Tie Imperial couple At St German the game
keeper had 80 badly concentrated the hares,
pheasants and partridges, that the Emperor only
killed seven birds. And last, q. the opera, where
the Emperor and his wife appeared on the opening
right the singing so wrctched that the manager
thought that his last days had come. On the whole,
the last fortnight has not been very pleasing to Louis
Napoleon.
II is decided that the Empress will follow her hus-
band in his tour in the northern departaents They
both left Paris this morning, en- route for .Arras
and Lille, and will return on the last OF the month
The emperor leaves Paris with much reluctance,
aad If il had not been for the preparations made in
all the cities where he is expe ,ted he would have
postponed the excursion to another epoch.
All the ministers are taking their vacations, each
in their turn, whilst one Of them is experimenting
the ministry of his colleague, during his absence.
n. de Persigny has been absent for two weeks, NJ
Dreuin de L'Huys, the Minister Of Foreign Affairs
left Paris suddenly without any apparent cause. II
was whispered in certain quarters that this dipo-
mat had crossed the Channel to g. himself to Lon.
don, to settle the difficulties with Russia and
Turkey. This rumor was 10 anomalous, that no one
thought it was true. In fact, how could it be posi-
bic that minister had taken upon himself the place
sf an ambassador? We know it now, as positive
hot, that M Drouin de LHuys, who is Violently suf
6erhg from . disease Of the eyes, has gone to his
country house to take some repose during one Or
two weeks. M. Portoul, the Minister Of Public In.
suctOn, has also left his hotel for the same length
Of time, and he is replaced by L. Ducor, Minister Of
the Navy.
The the grain and -four question is still the oh.
Jest Of much animation, though the price Of bread
lbs not augmented 10 Paris, owing TO the measures
taken by the government and the difference of the
price paid by the Common Council to the bakers.
Nevertheless the arrival Of -four and grain has not
changed the position and in several other neighbor
ing cities, as In Versailles Rouen, asd Orleans, the
tive pounds of bread cost IS centimes, U9 cants)
In lS47 She city OF Paris indebted for the same
cause IN the enormous sum Of 024 500 francs (about
2S,o00 francs day,) to give food to about 100000
persons But now that there are one million, four
hundred and twenty two thousand inhabitants to be
fed day nj six ceLtimes for pouad OF bread, the
expenses are AZ geo francs day. and ii this differ
eLce was paid for long time, the debt sf 1853 would
becosie larger THAI that of lS47. Tue Munich
pal Council OF la Seine has decreed that the price OF
eight cents, (orty centmes) for thu killgramme Of
bread, would be considered the maximum
price. The workmen Of the departments where ,he
price Of ninety five centimes Is existing, in the
utmost despair, owing to their inability to pro-
cure = sufficient quantity OF bread for their ia
miles Their wages had not been increased in
are email thst If man has wife and three Guild
rem, be is entirely unable to give them living BY
his working. How long will such state OF thi igs
last? That is the Gorcian knot, aud it is dficuls to
sever 1t without letting loose all the reins of the
government.
The loan Il the enormous sum Of one hundred mil
Eehs 10 the Bank Of France is still spoken Of az the
Bsurse, and 1t appears that, though the government
has not rendered the fact public, aud no decree
has been published on this ,ason, the transaction
viii take place without much difficulty.
It il true hat the general dissatisfaction is i'm
mense among the lower classes of the people, who
consider themselves humbugged in all ways and by
all means. Last week several workmen were arrest
"a in the Fabourg st. Antoine, on the ground that
they we're en- greece, whilst the true was that
they had expressed themselves with too mu .h dis
dain against the Emperor and the chief OF the
DAate.
The camp Of eatory win be broken up at the end
q the week, (the Oath nst). All the troops there
win return to their garrisons for che winter and 1t ia
said that next spring the camp VIII again be renew
ed. We have had eeveral grand military displays
dnliDg the last two weeks there and general review
was made on Tuesd day last by the Emperor, who on
that occasion delivered speech, which has crea led
much sensation, and appears 10 be SORT Of public
manifesto of LOsis Napoleon's opinions, projects
and We've. At this moment, when Europe IS on the
eve Of taking up arms when the military org An zation
b increased all the Continent, wnen the strate
gie movements on the land and the sea are ex
citing the attention Of all beligerent people, after
the display Of reviews 1t Vienna. Chobna n,
Bpltkead, OlnutZ, Bess'ka, and other places,
it is impossible not to remark the sentence Of
Lsuis Napoleon's speech rendering homage "as
long peace Is Important to the good
sentSntn's which exist between France and for
eign nations, owing to which as long as policy
1ees not change them into eDeGie, the foreign sol
diers are accepted and received as comrades and
brothers, wish also to call attention these worlds

Much scandal is entertained here, owing TO the
mysterious disappearance OF Mr. Edgar Ney, the
grand rcs,exr Of the Emperor, wh), since Thursday

been reported that he had committed suicide, but
