France and Her Rulers--A story OF Louis
Napoleon.
The Dublin correspondent of the New York
| Courier furnishes the following curious piece of
information, copied from the Belfast Chronicle,
which, as he says ''tells its own story-which
reads like romance French one, perhaps:
There lives IN Paris gentleman, who, In De-
cember, 1847, wrote-tcan see with perfect
! clearness that Louis Philippe, will not be three
months on the throne of France" Louis Phil
ipe was exiled in February, 1848. That gentle
man wrote shortly after the Presidential election
This Bonaparte scion is a traitor. Not a
man looks at him but feels the instinct Of avoid
ing him as treacherous man. He will STRIKE
for the Consulate-for the Dictatorship and
God knows what will follow" He STRUCK
The coup d'etat of December, 1851, tells how
he struck. The same gentleman wrote in March
of 1852 :-''The tyrant aims at the empire
His gaze is fixed upon the crown. Before year
there will be . revival of the Bonapartean dy-
nasty, and the French will kneel before Napole-
on the Third. THE empire has come.
The man who predicted these events is no COM
mon man. He thinks and looks around him.
He participates in many movements quietly,
and gathers knowledge which, in our view, 40
other man, at this moment, in or out Of Paris,
could find means to acquire. His previous pre-
dictions give US confidence in what he states
In 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 of the best specu-
lative individuals we have ever met.
Well, that gentleman-we would give his name
if we were permitted-writes the subjoined on
Thursday las, and all before whom it comes
can measure its worth, and the amount of Gre
dence to be attached to it from what they have
already learned. The revelation will seem
rious to many; to us it is by no means so,
we are are aware of the sources from which
much of his Information is derived, and how he
- F1.-S -
and that the British government are "up" TO the
machinations of the French Emperor is evident
from the revived state of our defences from the
embodiment of our militia. from the addition to
our maritime hands, and from the establishment
Of Channel Fleet.
The following is the communication referred
to:
In a secluded part of the wood of Bolougne, at
a place called Madria, whilome the residence OF
Lamartire, is 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 nany nights, has
the air of being uninhabited; but oftentmes at
night there come about suspicious looking char
acters, who take up their posts in the thickets,
and then about twelve one up come several
carriages, with the blinds closed down, the porte
cochere is opened mysteriously, they drive in
and the door closes behind them.
What is this place =!
1t is the residence of Virgine, Ia Sabotiere.
This, for many persons--indeed. nearly all
is no explanation. But let us enter, one even
ing last week, and perhaps what may be going
may eulighten
In an apartment sumptuously furnished, is
grand supper laid out, resplendent with plate
and brilliant with lights, and around sit half n
dozen men and as many women, who, while sip
ping their champagne, are talking animatedly
of conquest and empire, of. aggressions and ra-
pine.
s.Yes" says one striking his fist the table
"a man with heavy moustache, hooked nose
and saturnine, bilious conntenances-''yes,
when once | am crowned | will proclaim Je
rome king of Holland, and not only proclaim
him king, but make him king, while Belgium
shall reign but as my yassal.
''Yes, SIRE" said all but one, whom We shall
not mention. s-.
'And then King of Rome and Italy, and Pro-
tector of the Helyetic Confederation shall be no
empty titles-they shall be mine"
'sBut, sire, England 90 observed one gently.
'!Engand, my eternal nightmare England,
the assassin of nay uncle Every step take
find her in my way. Let her take care, perfidi-
Gus and meddlng Albion. Let her beware that
she interfere not for, surely she interferes,
will land on her shores. and show them that
their island is as easily made French colony
as was Algiers. They fancy themselvesim impreg-
nable they will find their mistake"
Thus spoke Louis Napoleon IN the mousse OF
Virginie. la Sabotiere.
must now explain who she is, and how he
found himself there, promising that the informa-
tion am giving you may cost me DEAR though
hope no one will aid the rascally police of Bo-
naparte in tracing the author of the news here
given. How l obtained it is secret of life and
death. But every word L write is TRUE. Louis
Napoleon may not carry out his after-supper
boast, but the words were spoken by him.

kindness and consideration. Amongst others
who saw him for different purposes Virgin
lie, very pretty girl, daughter of an old sabot
maker in Ham, After while Louis made pro-
posals, they were accepted, and two children
were the result. These children he very
much attached to. They were provided for, and
sent to first rate schools. On his advent to pow
er in l848, the Prince gave Virginie pension,
and then, in December, 1851, he gave her the
beautiful residence above alluded to-
With a natural taste for debauchery, resem-
bling in character the debauchery of the Regent
and Louis XIV, one of the delights of Louis Ma
poleon, is an orgy, with plenty of wine and wo-
men. In fact, his happiness is a social SUPPER,
such as when the Regent and Dubois lived. To
indulge in these at st. Cloud and the Elysee
would be dangerous and there is certain amount
of public opinion still alive but there was the
cozy little house at Madria, and that has been
selected by him as the seat of his midnight con-
ferences on the affairs of the Empire. Sur
rounded by parasites, pimps and prostitutes,
heated by wine, he tries to rouse himself in this
way to emulate his uncle.
Not dozen persons in Paris, apart from his
own clique, know word Of all this. But have
