whist Louis Napoleon was at Compegne despite
- frivolous occupation of hunting, riding, and
SAAslng, he WAS also busily engaged with his minis
1rs and friendly advisers in the manufacture of the
Articles OF the constitution, which were sent by
Ssuser 70 Paris, where the Senate elaborated them
Asa decided in their favor. At last, the important
Sk~atSs-coas,ttnm OF which have already spoken,
MAS voted on the cath inst, by majority Of sixty
ibar votes against seven; and this document, signed
hy MN. Baroche (the same individual who boasted
~ having first proclaimed the republic in Paris
RsaAer and Delangle was taken to Compiegne and
presented TO the Emperor who ratified it the 10th
0s. Among the principal articles OF that .Scnatns
ssAsuAum, you will see that Louis Napoleon has the
nSAt Of pardon and amnesty; that the power to make
treaties Of commerce, 10 declare war, and sign
treaties OF peace is given him; that his first son is
- Ae called Imperial Prince and his relatives
~Vrepch princess and last not least, that the oath

sonsws-I swear to obey the constitution, and to be
fAiASul to the Emperor" In the meantime Louis
Napoleon has decreed, in case he should have no

children of Princess Catherine of Wurtemburg, the

have nothing to say about the Seaatuseoasultum
which voted after long debate, OF which have
already spoken in my letters. will only add that
lie Struggle continued in the Senate till the last
ent particularly about the articles relative to the
keaties OF commerce and the declaration of war as
veil the signature OF peace, which were to be made
by the Emperor alone, without consulting the Senate
As 70 the proper course But the majority, brbed by
N sorts Of things, finally decided to submit to this
uArk of disdain, and all was over.
As for the decree of the Emperor, relative 10 the
asnination Of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte the di-
reea heir to the throne of France, it was received
with the utmost dislike by the public and the best
tea Of this general uneasiness was the fall of the
SOCKS which was immense Friday last. 1t is
well known that eyKing jerome is badly considered
u France and that he is far from being popular. As
fos his son. his republican principles, which
ther in favor of the red republicans than in favor Of
. wise repubicanism have rendered him an object Of
ear for all those who opposed to the return of
the revolutionary events of 1898, well as to those
niaer, Of ls4s. No doubt that the new Emperor
viii not remain a bachelor, and Will try, in short
time, to unite his fate to wife who will give
him An heir; but this event has not yet taken place,
And in case OF an accident, should Louis Napoleon
meet with death the empire of France would fall
int the hands Of ex-king Jerome, an old man,
nto the hands of his son Bonaparte, who would soon
give access TO repubicanism Of the worst kind. All
nhese considerations have been privately discussed in
Tie political circles, and have produced great effect

The trial OF the ,aSprgeS OF BedarrieuX, who had
raised the standard OF revolt after the coup dGot
and committed 80 many murders, was ended on the
