Louis NspoIeon's Policy,

The Paris correspondent Of the Boston
Traveller says
II Louis Napoleon controls the desti-
MES Of France few years longer, he will
ruin the country, morally and socially, as
well as financially. A pamphlet has been
published this week by q member Of the
Corp, kgpiatJ, on the alarming and con-
stantly increasing depopulatIon Of rural
France by the attraction exercised on the
country people by the cities. lie attributes
this oppidan immigration to the exOrbitant
levy made on farm laborers by Louis Nspo-
Icons enormous army in peace; he says
Louis Napoleon takes every seven years
10000 men from the field for the army
more than any French Government has yet
drawn, and that these men are utterly unfit
ted by their barrack life and town residence
for rural life the majority Of them never
returning to the country. 10 the next place
TO the money spent in the cities, and be dis
closes some alarming information in regard
TO the money spent and to be spent in Paris.
lie states that 10000, 000f have been
spent in Paris since Louis Napoleons coup
defat and that he proposes shortly to spend
1857, 100 0O0l. more, 80 that before long
Louis Napoleon will have spent in Paris
s4l3,552 ,000--doHdrs, mind you Isn't il
Incredible? While he is spending these
countless treasures 10 Paris only $1,000
000f are spent on the internal improvements
Of the country annually, and he forces (they
do it most unwilingly) Marseiles TO spend
$1,000 00Ot annually in besutiiying the city,
Lille, 30,000f, Toulon 20,O0000Ot. Lyons,
10000 O00i., and Rouen, 80, 900 00t. The
deputy asks how it is possible for the rustic
to resist the temptation OF going to live
where such sums OF money are annually
spent, and where, If he falls sick, be il sure
Of good hospital, and when well he can
amuse himself and indulge his various
passions, which he dare not do in the lynx
eyed country. This deputy, to exhibit still
more clearly the fatal influence OF Paris on
France, instances the Credit Fancier. which
is sort Of real estate bank founded express
ly with the design Of lending money TO farm
ers. lie states that il has lent only $4,000,
OO0f,, and that OF this sum Of money So
900 .OOOf have been lent on houses in Paris,
5000 00Of on houses in other towns, while
only 23,000OO0i. have been lent in the
country! What will be the state Of things
il there il war? cannot see how this
reckless. unchecked, irresponsible squander-
ing Of the public treasury is to last, even if
We continue in state of unbroken peace.

A PARAGRAPH TO BIZ READ.-The follow
ing paragraph deserves the careful attention
ofevery business man. We clip it from the
Schenectady Star {:
Some say "they cannot afford to adver-
tise.' In this country where everybody
reads the newspapers, the man must have
thick skull who does not see that those are
the cheapest and the best mediums through
which he can speak to the public, where be
is TO find customers. Put on the appear
ance of business, and generally the reality
will follow. The farmer plants his seed,
and while be is sleeping, his corn and pota-
toes are growing. SO with advertising.
While you are sleeping, or eating, or con.
versng with one set Of customers, your ad-
vertisement is being read by hundreds and
thousands o: persons who never saw you,
nor herad Of your business, and never would
had it not been for your advertisements in
the newspapers.

Our dates from Europe, by the arrival Of

The London Times, Of April %, gave the
following graphic sketch Of the position Of

&" Austria has 100000 men either upon
the Ticino or within such a distance that
they can be placed upon III banks Of that
frontier river within the three days Of grace
fixed in the imperative demand Of the Aus

site bank, with q force which could not,
probably delay for one day its own destruc.

PACKING THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press writes
The Office holders Of New England are
in great stew 10 reference to the election OF
delegates to the Charleston Convention. l
referred in one OF my last letters to the ap-
preaching election OF the four delegates at
large from Maine, and now | am enabled
to tell you that the Administration is hard
at work trying to pack the delegates from
Vermont, the Democratic State Convention
Of which State is shortly to be held. While
the democracy Of other States are hardly
thinking OF the matter of exciting delegates,
the administration is whipping up its de.
pendents to carry the delegates Of certain
States in which no Democratic electoral
vote can possibly be given in 1860; but |
am satisfied, from conversation have Just
had with leading man from Vermont, that
there will be resolute resistance made to
any attempt to send an administration dele

HEALTH or CHIEF JusTIcE TASEY-Our
court reports announce the conclu sion, by
the Chief Justice of the United States, Of
the hearing Of appeals in admiralty and the
adjournment, for the term, Of that branch Of
the circuit court. The renewed health OF
this eminent judge, and the vigorous activi-
ty OF mind which has characterised the
whole course Of his recent judicial action, to
a degree, at least, equalling the ablest efforts
Of bis distinguished career, offer the best
commentary possible upon the absurd re-
ports circulated from time 10 time by the
New York press, in regard to his propo sed
retirement from the bench. The partisan
feelings and personal and interested motives
which prompt these repeated and unmanly
illusions to the advancing years Of the Chief
Justice, have their best rebuke in the vene.
ration, which attests the unsulied purity
and lofty and continuing superiority OF bis
judicial life. There is no man now living
in the country whom the best men in it
would not be more willing to spare from its
service. Baltimore Erehdngs.
