number Of individuals, or even fully realized till
for some time it had been fixed fact. The
people of France, from the Emperor to the
Bourse, have not the least idea of the crash that
is coming A few persons holding the keys Of
the money drawer, and entrusted with the con-
coction of the bank and government accounts,
must see very clearly that the utthroat policy
now in progress must lead somewhere, and that
that somewhere cannot be prosperity or happi-
ness; but they have neither inducement nor ill.,
deed courage to speak. The magnitude of the
peril, too, is likely to mpsir their power to re-
alize it. As for the Emperor, our latest advices
represent him riding round Paris, scattering gold,
in the fashion of Prince Invisible in the Fairy
Tales: few weeks since he was hunting at
Fontanbleau, with party of ladies and cour-
tiers, who spent daily, on their dress and other
wise, the yearly income Of a moderate man; even
still, the stupendous improvements which have
altered the face Of Paris are proceeding, and
costing hundreds Of Thousands every week. How
can all this be done in o country where expendi-
ure for the last thirty years. aye sixty, with one
or two exceptions, has largely exceeded its
income? Only by euch desperate schemes as we
see under our eyes. By Credit Mobiler, adding
two or three hundred millions of fictitious capital
to the country and exploding some day with
frigh ful crash. BY a bank which borrows during
the month the whole specie which it will require
to show at the end of it, and pays for the same
twice as much as it could make by legitimate bu-
siness And by general system of deception,
rermeatng society from the Treasury Depart
ment to the mercantile offices and the newspaper
correspondents, and aiming at proving that bank
rupcy is prosperity, that ruin is wealth, and that
the safest place in the world is the jaws of the
internal regions
