| DISCOVERY OF A NEW PLOT TO ASSASSL
NATE THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH
1t Is now positively certain to all those who have
! any means OF knowing what passes behind the
scenes, that the ceremony of opening the Boulevard
| de Sebastop0l, put off on account of the dis
covery of fresh plot to assassinate the Emperor.
The details of the affair kept in the utmost pos
slble mystery, and are probably only known to the
| new Pretet of Police, General EspinaSse and the
! Emperor himself; but the mere fact of the exist
ence of the plot is known to some hundreds of in
dlVduals, and it has even caused modification in
the ceremonial of yesterday, whereof trace is to
! be found in this mornings Nonitcur.
The official paper, alluding to the name of the
| new boulevard, says: at was quite right that a
muster OF troops should mark the Inauguration of
such an artery of the capital and after the Emper-
or, our soldiers were the first who ought to have
trodden the soil bearing the name OF so glorious
victory. This as you will see, is a manner of ex-
PLANTATION for the presence of the troops that were
called together yesterday. In the origin the cere-
mony was to be purely civil and municipal one:
but, when it was discovered that so great a danger
threatened, it resolved to change its character
altogether and instead of municipal it became a
military tete Connected with this i can relate to YOU
curious circumstance that has Just occurred and for
which can vouch. Last week, one of the very high

II not the nearest in habtua confidence to the En-

NINE, with whom, and with whose husband, he has
been on intimate terms of friendship for the last
fourteen years. Both this lady and her husband
are foreigners, settled in Paris. The parsonage |
| speak of made the visit in question on purpose to
ask these friends of his what property they had
| preserved in their own country, and how Tar they
had identified their fortunes with those of France
and the language he held was textually this-'With

and yours, not to enlighten YOU upon the reality of

II could name to you the man who uttered these
words you would at once see that, unless they were
pronounced by Louis Napoleon himself they could
not be so by any one more important. | confess my
own impression is, not that the plots for asSassin
tion will succeed in their direct and present form
but firmly believe they have another danger whicl
Is every bit as great, and which is evident to somt
few of those who live in Louis Napoleon's intimacy
The notion of an incessant and horrible danger
hanging over his head has so possessed the Emperor
that in spite of all his resolves to the contrary his
nervous system is shaken to the roots and he is in
that peculiar state of mind tlat prevents man
| from seeing straight moving straight. He no
longer enjoys his liberty of acOl of thought, and
his mistaken acts it will be that will probably
one day bring a fatal crisis on.
FRANCE AND PORTUGAL.
According to the Ibcri of Madrid, Spain and
England are to act arbitrators in the difference
which has arisen between France and Portugal, re-
ative to the possession of the Congo river, on the
western coast of Africa.
FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND.
VIENNA, April At is wei known in this city
that the state of public feeling in France is bad,
and 1t Is no longer ago than Yesterday that per-
son of very high rank stated that the information
! he received from Paris made lin exceedingly un-
easy. at appears" said he, "that the Emperor
| Napoleon is losing ground from day to day" The
difference between France and Sitzerand may pos
| siby become regular quarrd, the Basle Govern
ment having positive refused to accept as French
Consul person who was formerly a member of the
secret police of the French government.
SPAIN.
The Paris correspondent of the Times, in letter
dated the 9th, says :-Since the news of the reno
| val OF Lord llOwden from the post of Minister at
Madrid was known in that capital, hardly day has
! passed without bringing letters from Spaniards of
every party, excepting that which expects to be
pecially benefited by the change, namely, the Car
lists. These letters express the deepest regret and
must say some strong indignation, against our gov
| ernment. The day on which my last letters were
dated, the rooms of the Embassy were full of peo-
| pie from morning till night, and the populace
assemblies round the doors, not knowing exactly
why they there, but mixing up a feel
ing OF personal affection, with dark forebOding
OF some political calamity. The coffee houses talk
ed of nothing else; the Liberals spoke of making a
demOnstratiOn-for, rightly or wrongly, the sacri-
flee of the English Ambassador is by them attrbu-
ted to French pressure; and the various societies OF
| the fine arts had named delegates to present adj
! dresses to Lord Howden. | do not think there is
eXaggeratiOn in these accounts. have at this mo-

The Prussian government will, it is said propose,
at the re-assembling of the Landtag after Easter,

Prussia which cease on the 23d, should be renewed
for six months, and that in case the king should
