the Corps Legisatf has given rise to great appre-
tensions; and it is asked whether Napoleon Ill.,
in abiding to the I'd December, meant to give the
deputies to understand that he was prepared. in
case of need, to make another coup d'etat like
that of 1851 For several days considerable alarm
felt in the capital, and as a pretext for this
uneasness, the threatening words the Emperor
made use of to one of his intimate friends were
quoted 1t is said that Napoleon, in speaking of
the attacks made on the government, by the op
position, remarked, M. Theirs would wish me to
walk down stairs. N. Jules Favre is DESTROYS to
throw me out of the window-perhaps shall have

THE DISSOLUTION OF THE CORPS LEaIsLATIF
Was to be one of the first acts of the new admin
lstratlon. Up to the present time, none of these
| reports have been verified and, for my part,
have never believed one of them. Circumstances
| have not yet acquired that gravity which would
| force the government to make use of exceptional
| measures. AS regards the dissolution of the
| Corps Legislatif, know that this step was pro-
posed to the Emperor by the extreme partisans OF
| the government, headed by Mons. Granier de Cas-
sagnac; but there is no chance of Napoleon pay
ing any attention to such dangerous counsels, at
least until the end of the session. One thing, how
| ever, is certain, the greatest
ILL.HUMoR EXISTS AT THE TUILERIEs.
| The Emperor and Empress were greatly dis
pleased at the reception they met with, the other
day, at the "Odeon," whittier they had gone to
be present at the first representation of the new
play, by Mons. Angler, entitled La Contdgion."
On his return, Napoleon remarked to his grand
chamberlain that the tumult put him in mind of
| the worst days of 1913. T#
Their imperial majesties were, moreover, highly
dspleased with the play itself. Generally the
Emperor does not assist at the representation of
new piece until he has received some account Of
it. On this occasion, however, Napoleon neg
lected his usual precaution. The following day
the minister of the imperial household received a
severe reprimand. One thing more than another
contributed to set the Emperor against the piece
was that, it is said, the late Duke of Morny was
taken as the model for the infamous hero of the
play.
Moreover, the great friendship which exists be
tween Mons. Emile Angler and Prince Napoleon is
looked upon with great suspicion at the Tuleres
for ever since the famous speech of Ii. l. II. a
Ajaccio, great GOODNESS has sprung up between
the Emperor and his cousin. The prince processes
to be no great believer in the stability of the EN-
pire, and has already commenced

and has lately sold his Pcmpeian house fol
about half the sum it cost him. TWAS constructed
after the model of the house of Domede, at Pom

1t is said that on being asked the motive for sci
ling this property, Prince Napoleon replied, eth

By the time you get this letter, you will no doub
