Louis Napoleon Doomed.


To ihe Editor .; he \, Y. Tribune
SIR, Since the late attempt upon the life
Of the Emperor Napoleon, it is often asked
why the greater number, in fact. not all,
engaged in the conspiracy. are Italians?
Pianori, the Italian who was executed
some years ago, for attempting to assassi-
nate the Emperor, was offered = free pardon
il be would make full confession and d.
vulge his accomplices, but he bravely re-
fused and now every inducement is held
out TO the present prisoners to reveal the de
tails of the plot for participating in which
they will undoubtedly forfeit their lives
And though the rumor that Bndio has con-
tessed, and will appear Is witness against
his fellowconspirators is industrionsly circu-
lated, it is not at all believed.
The reasons have hitherto seen assigned
for the fact that the numerous attempts
upon the Emperor's life have been almost in.
variably made by Italians, do not explain
the matter correctly. II is known that
Louis Napoleon's coup detai Of the I'd Of
December, was received with reclamation
by the Liberal party in Tuscany and even
in Rome, though by bis troops he kept the
Pontiff on the throne his news was not re-
ceived with i'll favor. On the contrary, the
constitutional Liberals. who wish for ma
tional liberty, but who are opposed to the
Red Republicans, even to this day, regard
him with favor, knowing that he has pressed
upon the Pope many measures OF reform in
opposition to the suggestions Of Austria
The Italians as a nation are friendly to the
Empire. The memory Of The Napoleon is
still revered by them. But there has exist
ed among them for many years body OF
organization and great power. allude to
the dreaded Carbonati, Immediately after
the French Revolution of 1880, there were
a series Of outbreaks through the Roman
territory, extending into the Duchies OF
Parma and Modena. They were the work
of the Carbonari, and were soon put down
in most sanguinary manner by the troops
Of the late Pope Gregory. In the Roman
Legations the present Emperor and his
brother who died during the Instruction,
were actively engaged. They were both
sworn members Of the Cdrbondr,. 1t is gen
orally understood that it was Pictri, the
present Corsican Project Of Police, who in.
itiated the present Emperor into the Carbo-
mari, of which Mazzini, the present Pope
and the late King Charles Albert were act
i've members. This society never forgives d
renegade member; and this fact is mention
ed in explanation OF Mazzins opposition to
Plus TX. and Charles Albert and tbs IS the
real secret OF the recent and other attempts
by Italians upon the Emperor's life.
Louis Napoleon has been tried by the
chiefs Of the Society, formerly condemned to
death and received notice Of the doom which
surely awaits him. Those now in prison
may perish on the scahold, but they know
that thousands are ready to avcDge them
and even though torture be tried, THAT it
was under Louis Philippe is proved in Louis
Blanc's History of the Ten Years y, they
will die without making sign.

house in Italy. His work narrating his
most singular escape from the Austrian
prisons, you remember made great sensa-

some in person. Pietri, in abiding to him
after his arrest, said to Prince Napoleon,
He is the handsomest man in the world
never saw anything to equal the beauty and
grace Of this monster
At a ball at Paris, not long since, Sen
a,or, a great friend of the Empress, was con
graduating her on her gayety and good
spirits. YES she said, Il seek to forget
myself (m'etowdrr); ! know that one OF
these days we shall all perish together -
Poor woman. she is to be pitied. Her
grace and goodness merit happier fate
The crown is indeed 10 her composed of
thorns. As for the Emperor, he is as thorough
fatalist as any Turk. "What will be, will
be- is his motto, and yet it is thought that
much Of his confidence is assumed.
1t is known that the French exles in
London and kossuth were not concerned in
the late conspiracy. Louis Blanc and Le-
dru Rollin are both opposed TO asassina-
ton. The affair was solely the work of the
Carbonari, and il really seems just retri-
button that one who conspired himself should
now be the object of detestation to his broth
or conspirators. "He that taketb the sword
shall perish by the sword
