The Emperor of France entered yesterday into his
forty sixth year. for he born the Goth of April
1908, in the same palace of the Tuileries where he
now resides. The anniversary of his birthday was
celebrated by grand dinner, to which seventy per-
sons were invited. This festival was also sort OF
congratulation day for the recovery Of Louis Napo
leon, who had been quite sick, as reported in my
last letter. owing not only to eruption Of biles but
also to attack Of albineria to which he has been
quite subject for the last seven years. Two Of the
bies which were enormous, were so painful that q
surgeon was called to cut them open. The same
sergeon, DR.. Tober de Lamballe, thought it prudent
to perform slight operation of iythotritie on the
Emperor, by which, it appears, he was totally re-
lieved. Louis Napoleon supported the painful opera
tons with the utmost energy, and the muscles Of his
face were not even moved by the pain. As an
example Of the courage Of the Emperor during pain
full operations was told by one of my friends, who
is an dttache to the Court Of the Tuileries, that
during the journey Of Louis Napoleon in the south of
France, in September last the Chief of the State ar
irving at st. Etienne, was suddenly attacked by
neuralgia, to which he is subject. The only remedy

the bell to call his servant he Immediately sent him

ing wick to one of his legs, with the idea Of making
an immediate blister when his valet arrived with the
cantharides and pomatum. There was large
wound, upon which Louis Napoleon placed the round
blister, and on the next day, though he had much
pain while walking, he boldly proceeded through the

The intentions Of Louis Napoleon are to spend the
month Of May In the country. 1t had first been
said that the imperial court would go to st. Cloud
but this project has been left aside and Fontanbleau
has been selected to be the spring residence of the
Emperor and Empress. A series Of fetcs in the

comrades, named Lebon, who was republican.
They took his remains to the Montmartre Cemetery,

the assistants were arrested and taken to the Preec

gacs Of Tendon. 1t was even asserted in certain
quarters that Louis Blanc aud Felix Pyat had been
seen on Sunday last in Paris; the police went im-
mcdatelty to their search, but till now they have
