Father Ventura continues his denuneia
tions Of couitly vices In terms still more 81
erg~tic than before In his sermon Of yes

the presence Of the Emperor and the c"'lr
tiers, his language was of the most uninis,ah
able kin !. and he spoke ninhos, a. II he hal

was authorized to declare them from th'

the Emperor; he declared that. even IL his I
life was moral and edifying it wa not ,,liii

his presence all who might ocandnzc The
public by their vices, their occupation, or
their prafigacy lie said the Emperor was

The foregoing is found in the London
Times correspondence from Paris. aud
speaks more openly of the vices OF
Louis Napoleon than any of the Eng
lish journals have hitherto dared to do.
This self made monarch Of France Is
not expected TO be a saint. SAINTS do
not commit perjury, do not violate
oaths, but are expected to live lives OF
spotless purity. Napoleon assembled
the Fcnch throne over the betrayed
liberties Of the people, and the wreck
Of the republican constitution, by the
strong hand Of violence. His expc-
rience in New York brothcls and Lon
don club houses, well fitted HIM for
holding a licentious Court, aud indulg
ing in the worst OF vices.
Perhaps it ia necessary, as stimn-
liant to arouse the people Of France
that Napoleon should plunge into the
most disgusting vices, and become the
object first OF pity, then Of scorn, then
Of the hatred Of the people, until ADM
ration and loyalty for such an advcntn-
rer, AZ the Emperor, will be complete
" annihilatcd, and way opened Tor a
new Revolution that shall put AN end
70 monarchy forever in that country.
The day Of punishment for Napoleon
has not yet arrived, but IL rapidly al-
proachcs, and his present shameless
profiigacy will hasten the catastrophe

Eugene is as gay As her royal lord =
gallant, and that Napoleon is great.
annoyed by her lcvity. His example
il not well calculated to prove a res
traint upon her conduct. II education
was more general in France, We should
not despair OF lts final emancipation
from all the tlummeries of Royalty
AT present we can only wait and hope
