the terms of Peace, after the Crimean War,
Austria strongly objected to Sardinia being
represented there by Minister. This was
overruled, on the ground that having fought,
Sardinia had earned a right to have voice
on the terms of peace. 1t is known that, in
the discussions, Sardinia sided with France,
which desired to give favorable terms to
Russia. 1t is probable that in this lay the
germ of the present alliance between France,
Sardinia, and Russia-which was consolida-
ted, rs far as France and Russia were in
volved, by the recent union of Prince Napo.
leon with the Princess Clothilde of Sardinia.
Victor Emmanuel, a bold and dashing sol

campaign. He has, no doubt, encouraged
the cry "a disatlcction in Italy, partly to OBJ

LOUIS NAPOLEON, EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.
Biographical particulars relating to Ma
poleon III are so well known by newspaper
readers, that it seems nearly superfiuous TO
give any here Louis Napoleon, born at
the Tuileries, in Paris, April 20tli, 1908,
was the second son of Louis Bonaparte,
king of Holland and Hortense Beauharnais,
only daughter of the Empress Josephine
After the fall of Napoleon |, the Bonaparte
family had TO live out of France Louis
Napoleon, with his elder brother and moth
er, lived in Switzerland when the Revolu-
ton Of July placed Louis Philippe on the
throne of France In the following year
Louis Napoleon and his brother went TO
Italy where both took part in the insurrec-
ton at Rome. The brother died the same
year. From 1882 to 1885, Louis Napoleon,
who by the death of his cousin, the King of
Rome, had become head of the Napoleon
family, devoted himself to study and pro-
duced several works, political and military.
His "Manucl sur rArtilerie has been
highly spoken of by military men, and we
believe that il is now used rs textbook
at West Point.
In 1886 took place Louis Napoleon's un-
successful attempt TO get up a revolution ut
StraSbourg. He was sent out of the country,
and was recalled from the Uuited States 10y
the alarming state of his mothers health.
In 1888, being driven out Of Switzerland, on
the demand of Louis Philippe, he went to
reside in London. In 1889 he pablished
" Des ldees Napoliennes, fine transala-
ton of which has Just been issued by the
Appletons, ut New York. In 1910 he made
that unsuccessful descent upon Boulogne,
which consigned him, political prisoner TO
the Fortrcs of Ham. Ia 1876 he escaped to
England, where he resided until the Revo-
luton of S4S recalled him To France, and
soon placed him in the Presidential chair
there. On December 2, 1851, in conse-
quence This apologists say) of knowledge
that his opponents meditated heavy blow
at his authority, he executed the coup dctdt,
which overthrow the National Assembly,
and caused his election, first as President
for ten years, and next rs Emperor, with
succession in his family. He was proclaim
ed Emperor on December ., 1850, and inn
mediately after married Eugcnie, Countess
dc Teba. His recognition rs Emperor was
immediate on the part OF the United States
and England, and rather tarly 10y The Ger
man States, influenced by Nicholas of Rus
sia. Napoleon had his revenge soon after,
when he persuaded England, Austria, and
Sardinia to make an alliance against the
Gar, which caused the Crimean war,
and the defeat of Russia. That alliance was
as unexpected rs the more recent compact
which France had made with Sardinia
against Austria, which is said 10 include
Russia also. 1t remains to be seen whether
this new condition of affairs will not disturb
the friendly relations hitherto existing be-
tween England and France. That great
changes are on the tapis we cannot doubt.
Austria
"Cries havcc, and let's slips the dogs of war;"
and 10 one can say where or how it will
end. The sympathy of the nations goes
strongly with Italy-so long crushed, so
wretchedly misgoyerned. Justice demands
that Italians, not AustrianS, shall rule North
Italy
