evident that the people had nothing LETT 70 u.s.

sure s;pn that the final crash was near.
Borsparte himself til then the only man IN
France believing in the fpal victory OF the corp

we're swearing that the crime of the Rue Lepeueter,
perretrated ss il was By Italians solely, bur served

Napoleon, Louis Napoleon himself fastened to the
Corps Leg.latif, there publicly to declare that the
conspiracy wss national one, and that France con-
sequently wanted uew "repressive laws to keep
her down. Those laws already proposed at the
head Of which figure the lois dtS suspects. are
nothing but repetition of the Identical measures
employed in the first days of the comp dtfdi Inen'
however they were announced as temporary expe-
dent. while they are BOW proclaimed as organic
laws. Thus il is declared BY Louis Napoleon HIM
self, that tie Empire can be perpetuated only by

that all it's pretensions to the more or less respect.
abe forms Of a regular Government must be drop
ped, ard that the time of the sullen acquescence
of the nation in the rule of the Society of tae per-
iured usurper has defnitiyely parsed away.
Shortly before the execution of the comp d'etai,
Louis Napoleon coLtrsed to gather from al depart
ments, and principally from the rural districts,
sldIes.es leveled at the National Assembly. and
expressive of unlimited confidence in the President.
This sa ce being now exhausted, there remained
nothing but to appeal to the army. The military
s.ldrestes. 10 one of which the ZOuayes almost
regret not to have had On opportunity to manifest
Sin striking manner their devotion to the
" Emperor" are simply the undisguised proc!ama-
ton Of pretolian rule in France The division OF
France into FIVE great military pashalics, with hye
marsLas at their head under the supreme control OF
Pelsser az marshal general is simple consequence
Of that premise. On the other hand the installa'
siOn of Prvy Council, which is at the same tims
to act as Council during the eventual Regency OF
Montijo, composed Of such grotesque fellows as
Fould. Morny, Persiguy, BarOche and the like,
shows France at the same time what sort OF regime
the newly installed statesmen have in store for
her. TIE installation Of this Council, together
with the family reconciliation, denoted to the as
founded world by Louis Napoleons letter in the
Moniitr, by virtue of which Jerome, the e1-King
Of Wcstphalis, ia nominated Presidsnt of the
Stste Councils in the Emperor's absence--ell this,

On what new adventure is the hero of Strasbourg
then to embark? Some say that he means to re.
lieye himself by campaign in Africa; others that
he intends an invasion of England. AS to the first
plap il reminds one of his former notion Of going
to SeyastOpO; but now, as then, his discretion
might prove the better part of his vaOr. As to
any hostility against England, it would only reveal
to Bonaparte his isolation in Europe, as the at
tempt of the Rue Lepeueter revealed bis isolation
in France. Already the threats held out to Eng
land in the addresses of the soldiery have put the
fnal extpguisher upon the Anglo-French alliance,
long since struggling in anicuio morris. Palmer
stons Alien bill will only contribute to exasperate
the already wounded pride of John Bull What
ever step Bonaparte may takc-and he must try
to restore his prestige in some way or other-will
only precipitate his ruin. He approaches the end
of his strange, wicked and pernicious career.
