JeteS SlEeHdt OOmP-cSHC Dy tic Emperor,
Of the luxury spread in the imperial apart
ments, Of the costly costumes, of the
splendors of the concert and bathrooms,
of the somptuous dinners, and how well
both the Emperor and Court, master and
servants, enjoyed themselves. The two
pictures presented so striking a contrast
thatthe government, fearing the effect
such articles might have, forthwith sent
its warning.
The suppression Of La Presse still pro-
duced greater excitement. The Presse
is the leading journal Of France. Its cir
~culatiOn is the largest, its influence the
greatest, and isto the French people what
the London Times is to the English
Founded by Eemile de Girardin, who has
been surnamed the prince Of journalists, ,
and edited by some Of the most talented
writers Paris possesses, the Presse has
done much to advance the interests Of the
Democratic party, being at the same time
very careful not to oYershot the mark and
thereby incur the always dreaded warn
ings of the government. Some time ago
the principal editor left the charge Of the
editorial columns of the paper, and the
younger and more hot-headed spirits Of
the editorial corps resolved to throw more
fire in its columns. On the 4th inst. the
Presse contained a very able article of
Mr.. Peyrat, in which he stated that a re-
volutionary movement wa growing up
all over Europe, and called on the demo-
cratic party to get up and march, it be-
ing time to act. The next day the Jour-
nal did not appear, the government hav-
ing ordered il TO- be suppressed for two
months, which suspension will cause a
loss to the p%roprietOrs of that paper of
perhaps half a million of francs.
The manner in which the present gov
eminent is leaving It's footprints over Paris
will be an astonishment to the next repu-
bic. Whereverit is possible, in the vast
improvements going on in the city, to
introduce a name that recalls the present
dynasty, it is done without scruple. Thus
we have applied to- boulevards and streets
the names of Bonaparte, Napoleon, I'm
perial Prince, Empress, st. Eugene,
Sebastopol, Alma, Malakof, &C., Sc
Anew and magnificent boulevard is about
to be commenced, on a length of nearly
two miles, and is traced on a straight
line through the populous Faubourg St.
Antoine. 1t has been called the Boule-
ward du Prince Eugene. 1t will destroy,
at its commencement on the Boulevard du
Temple, six of the principal theatres, and
in its course encounters streets and houses
at all imaginable angles. This Boulevard
is certainly one of the most useful of all
the new improvements but its main fea-
ture and usefulness in the governments
eyes, is that it puts a streak Of daylight
through the revolutionary quarter of Pa
ris. Immense barracks are now in the
way of erection, looking directly into this
Boulevard, large enough to accommodate
four thousand men with ample munitions
and afording quick communication with
the vast barracks of Vincennes, and It's
inexhaustible stores of material of war.
Heretofore it was impossible in case of
revolution to have such a communication,
on account of all that part of the city be-
ing in a state of revolt and completely
barricaded. But hereafter, cannon placed
at the barrack will rake the entire Boule-
ward, destroy barbados and keep it open
to the entry of soldiers and material from
Vincennes.
So you see that the government is TAX
ing its precautions f; the same stategie
plan and features having already been
carried out in all the improvements and
new boulevards. A revolution, by the old
fashioned way Of erecting barbados and
acting mostly on the defensive, is now al
most impossible. Perhaps it is so much
the better. When the people viii again
raise the standard of %insurreetion, they
-. .M"--. T-#-
will have to act on the offensive, and their
motto be "onward;'h a mode of attack
better suited to revolutionists, especially
the French; and l trust the improvements
made to prevent and crush revolutionary
movements, will in the end be the very
means to favor their success, overthrow
the Empire and Emperor, AMI proclaim
the Republic.
