Effect of the EMperors Marriage.

| have had opportunities of speaking on the
subject to persons in almost every rank of soci-
ETY., and the feeling everywhere is the same
that the marriage is, as regards Louis Napole-
ons popularity, decided blunder, and that
not so much from the inferiorIty in rank OF the
lady chosen. as from the particular choice
made. No one is blinded as to the true motives
which, if crcditable to the virtue and frmness
of the lady, are very differently looked upon
as respects the gentleman There is no end
to the puns, conundrums, and quodibets to
which the affair has given rise. Paris is inun-
dated with then-circulated extensively by
the still more mischevous system Of man
uscript circulars; passed from hand to hand
under the title of Nouuelies Ia Main; and to
be found in all public places. In the upper
classes the disapprobation, even among the
Bonapartists, is universal; but this signifies
little to Louis Napoleon, for he seems to have
set the upper ranks at defiance. But he will
think it perhaps of more importance, when he
knows that the same feeling pervades the
working classes of society, d that it APT ears to
have descended lower in the scale than on any
former occasion. The coup d'etdt of the I'd Of
December had little effect on the ouerier. who
considered it merely family quarrel among
politicians, and therefore matter with which
he had nothing to do. But now the case is
very different; there is not a workmen in Paris
that does not know every particular OF the
history of the marriage, OF who does not fad
some coarse joke to handy on the occasion. In
the army the effect has been deplorable, and,
coming as il does after such freaks as the nom
iuation of civilians, like Napoleon Bonaparte
to the rank of general of division, and the
prom otion of officers whose only services have
been in the Palace of the Elysce, over the
heads of their seniors, who have gained the
laurels and rank by years Of service in the
field, has created an irritation Of which We
have not yet seen the end.
The only class of society which has not ex-
pressed disapprobaton is the peasantry, and
on them the marriage has hitherto made little
| impression, merely because they know little
about it, so completely has all intelligence on
political matters been suppressed in the coun-
try districts. Upon the whole, it may truly
be said chat. with the exception perhaps of
the Orleans DEGREES, no single act Of Louis
Napoleon has given such general dissatisfac-
| ton, or created so much distrust in that good
sense and moderation for which people have
| hitherto given him undeserved credit.
| But if The marriage of the Emperor has crea-
| ted commotion among the public, it has
raised a complete storm in the Bonaparte fam.
| lily itself, and the next heir to this throne is
said to have expressed no small Indignation
at finding that his rights of inheritance to the
| great Emperor, which he considers as having

Italian insurreCtien.

No very definite idea of the extent or result
ofthis late demonstration can be gathered
from the loose and contradictory reports which
have reached us. That the insurgents at Milan
effected an entrance into the arsenal and put
several Austrian officers to the sword, and that
all communications were Immediately inter
cepted, leaving US in aggrayating doubt, is the
sum and substance of what we can yet rely
upon.
We all know that the Genius of Liberty in
Europe is not dead, but sleepeth." We are
prepared a. any moment for renewal of those
convulsive struggle. for supremacy with which
time and again, she has shaken the Continent.
We also feryently hope that their renewal will
be crowned with victory.
But tie next blow, struck for freedom there
is destined to be heavy one and We cannot
yet believe that the recent movement is the
signal for its infection. Mazzini and Kossuth
and other chosen champions it is folly to sup
pose, have been leading lives Of tame in
