LONDON. Fridsy. Feb. 5. 1863
Imperial France presents st this momeu. most
curious spectacle to the world Sx yeass after
the elevation Of Louis Bonspsrte to tse highest
power, "b, an immense majority" at the tims

monarchs Of Europe, Francois suddenly alarmed, q

ulstes himself and France ths. the wOuld-be asssS-
sins aie foreigners; he requires an Alien bil frosA
England, be abolishes ali the remaining guarantees
OF individual liberty in France, he establishes .
Regency in the case of his death, and turns TO the
army "a the safest support of his dynasty. The
army, proud Of having now fully secured sl the
importance Of the Romsn Prctorisns regards Itself
as the true fountain of power, and replies to tho
Emperors appeal by bullying England. and
promising its allegiance to Nap0leons son; but tAS
fact that the addresses OF a hundred Colonies Are
Given to the world as the response Of France 10 tie
Italian conspiracy, shows sufficiently that Nspoeoa
has deep place in the peoples affections, and that
hs rule is en,nenty the rule Of the sword. IA -
his "b,H Of rights" it surpasses all the desp0de
measures OF Austria and Russia. 1t Furnishes with
