HEALTH OF Louis NAPoLEoN.-The report that
the health of the French Emperor is seriously
impaired and that his death within short period
may be looked for as highly probable gains
strength and the prospect beyond, what political
consequences will follow such an event are grave
ly discussed English papers say that such Is the
nature OF his disease that be will not probably last
year. and medical men who have studied the
symptoms of his disease. pronounce it to be incur
able. We cannot tell what weight to assign to
such progaostics. The true state of the health of
sovereigns is hard to be understood. when there
are such adverse interests, as in the case OF Ma
poleon, to disgnise it. The enemies of his govern
ment would be glad to have it supposed that his
career must be short, in order to keep alive the
partisan hopes Of favorable opportunity for
change at hand, and his own partisans would
stoutly deny his danger to the last Napoleon is
the Government of France, more completely now
than Louis XIV. was when he said so proudly,
Il Etate, e'eSt moi" And the death of this up
start Emperor OF year would probably dissolve
all the pe4iticai elements of France, and create
commotion there which would shake all Europe.
