SHat says in an account Of what be saw and
heard on the Boulevards: "A gentleman cried out
"to me: Let all good men unite TO stop this
horrible butchery, by going to impore the Presi'
dent to renounce his coup d ds' and resign bis
'au,hority."' But Mr.. Mandut did not agree TO
This. and continues 1.-THE victory is with Napo-
"leou. Let us. reader, let US throw the funeral
.yeil over the corpses scattered here and there,
"or hesped together from TOrtonis to the Porte
"St. Denis
The pres was muzzed so that no Frenchman
could learn the history Of current events, bat only
such facts and fctions as the usurper permitted or
ordered to be published The first batch oil mere
than a thousand murders being finished BY
the military assassins, the Minister of the Interior
and the Project Of Police, Morny and Maupas,
issued order. TO all projects and civil magistrates
TO make arrests of all suspected Of Republlcanlsm
"to make such arrests on a grand scale 10 strike
terror" This order their mnOns, whom they had
taken care to appoint beforehand strictly obeyed.
Then Louis Bonaparte issued a decree, saying

defenders for the safety Of the Republic, and

whether he should be President for ten years more
or not. This was the famous vote which English
and American slanderers Of the French people say
wac free expression Of that peoples will and an
approval of Louis BOnaparte's destruction OF that
constitution be had solemnly sworn 10 protect.
The enthusiasm with which the clergy hailed the
destruction of the Republic and the triumph of the
/ u, urira-cal Tho files Of the
Monifeur afford some specimens of the mode in
which the Bishops instructed the Priests to assist
in this pretended election. Here is one, a Cir
ocular Addressed by the Bishop of Chartres to
- the Priests OF bis Diocese"
Mr.. CITRATE: On the Goth and 2lst Of this month

In relation 20 this circular, another Bishop thus
addresses the editor of the Moniteur
"CHALoys, Dec. "A, 1851.
"MR. EDIToR: find in the journals Of to-day, ths
letter Of my Lord the Bishop of ChaTtres, counseing
his clergy 10 vote for President the Prince Louis
Napoeon in which he has but expressed the thought;
Of all good men and all the Bishops. From the very

The Patrie newspaper OF Paris, On the 2lst Nov,

cburcbes before immense crowds ofhe ia thfu prayers
are rected calling down the blessings of Heaven on

Louis Bonapartes assumption Of imperial power
filed the Archbishop Of Paris with JOY which
fouId expression in these words: In the supreme

have led TO this great result Abbott coald not
surpass this.
The holy Bishops absolved the faithful from fast
ing on ptnitental days, made festive by the pres
ence of Louis Bonaparte in their doceses, during
his journey through France, preceding the vote
upon the Empire
And now very recently the Pope shows his hand
! On the Eth of December, l-55, only few weeks
ago. His Holiness Plus TX. made communication
to the College of Cardinals, announcing that be had
raised one OF these French Bishops, Clement Vile
court of Rochelle, to the rank of Cardinal, and
giving his reasons fer the act; the chief one Of
which appears to be the following: 1--WE appoint
"ihs prelate into your College, with so much the
more Joy, as we have the certainty Of doing a
thing most agreeable TO our very dear son in
Jesus Christ, Louis Napoleon, the illustriOus and
" celebrated Emperor Of the French, VINO has so
well merited of US and of the Holy See" Ma

who worships that terrestrial divinity my uncle 4"
with all the fervor of the Reverend Abbott himself
and seryilely copies his every act, also becomes
patron of the Holy See, and 10 be tas bis reward
But We anticipate the chronological order Of events;
! let US therefore, return 10 the period Of the so
called Presidential Election in December, ISL,
and the exposition Of the mode il which it was
managed.
As We have already stated, the priests were
deep in the plot. The usurper agreed 10 sup
port the Church, TO share bis robberes with il, TO
suppress publications against it, and imprson their
authors. BY his conduct in the sege Of Rome
the priests thought they could trust him, and they
worked with Will. From the altar steps aud
the church door, they besought their fOcks TO go
and vote for him. Their exhortatiOns and the fear
of being marked and denounced, induced, we are
told majority of all the voters 10 vote aye, ac-
cnrdinr 70 the returns OF the indres. Yet why
