THE STATE OF EUROPE.

from Our Own Correspondent.
LONDON, Friday, Jan. II, 1859.
II we can trust the unanimous opinion Of the
European press, Louis Napoleon is fast progressing
toward his downfall. A feeling of dstrust pervades
France, and even the Emperor has been seized
with IT, He dismissed Mr. Billault, the Minister OF
the Interior, because he did not prevent Orsini's
attempt Pietri, the Chief Of the Police, would
have shared his fate, had there been any man IN
France better posted about the enemies OF the Elm
peror dangerous to his life; and Persgny, the CON-
pspion of Louis BOnaparte at StrasbOurg, af Lon
don. AZ Boulogne and at Ham, is now likewise dis
trusted, because foreseelng the storm in England,
raised by the Imperial claim for special legislation
against attempts and cOnspiracies 10 murder, ne
advised bis august friend and master to let
well alone This advice was not accepted
and the result is that Lord Palmerston has
framed a bill threatening conspiracy 10 muir
der with at least three years IN prison, and on
Tuesday got leave to introduce II by large ma
iority. which, however cannot compensate Napoleon
for his loss of dignity and of the hearty friendship
which the English until now felt toward him for his
services in the Crmea. The Opposition rakcd up
the diseracefnl sntecedents of Louis BOnaParte aud
branded him az cOnsplrator as a traitor, aud as
murderer. Such discussions are certainly not re-
ported in the French papers; still they tran'pre Dy
means of the Belgian and German press, though
they are not conducive to strengthen the dynasty
and throne of Napoleon. Through the established
forms of Parliament this scene will he repeated 1--we
times, and keep up irritation during the Winter and
all the Spring-a rather heavy price for law which
certainly will not frichtcn any cOnspirator. But
the worst dangers TO the imperial throne are in
France. Just at the time when Paris seemed to have
escaped he universal crisis, Mr.. Oder, the great

the CdiSse FEScOaPte and OF the Spanish

this Caisse d'EscOmpte were quoted two years Sgo
at $50, and are now offered at 81, without iindng
BUYERS. for il is more than probable that all the
capital of the company is lost To the last iarthng'
The public hitherto rushing to the Exchange III inc
hope of making fortune without labor by mere
gambling learn now by their losses that they have
been pmndcred by few great capitalists, who sold
the shares OF the swindGng companies at the time
when the market was inflated. The political aud
bLanclal catastrophe in France is evidently ap-
preaching, and cannot be retarded beyond one or
two years, unless Napoleon should suddenly attempt
