HEALTn.oF NAPoLEoN.-A Paris, letter says
that the Emperor Napoleon is suffering from
diabetes, accompanied by attacks Of fainting
fits, which sometimes last for considerable
time. Such is the certainty with which a
catastrophe is expected at st, Cloud that the
officers on guard at the palace, on being sud
denly called out to present arms to the En-
press Of Mexico, exclaimed: HE is dead! lie
is dead" iancying that His Majesty was no
more. There is now q general anxiety in the
public mind. Both friends and enemies Of
the present dynasty look with awe at the
probability Of general upset. Napoleon
the Thirds government has been one of such
personal character that it would seem that
he once away the whole machinery must
come to sudden stop.

Signor RoxERo, the Mexican Minister, who
was one Of The PREsIDKSr's party on the
visit TO Chicago, returned to Washington
yesterday, the business Of his embassy re-
quiring his attention, and the fatigues Of the
journey having impaired his health. The
truth is, M. RoaERo found that this excur-
sion Of pleasure involved him, as well as all
others Of the distinguished company, in
formidable labors, privations, and unrest.
He had supposed it would afford an agreea-
BILE relaxation from public duties and enable
him to rest and enjoy himself But although
he enjoyed the affair to high degree, he did
not rest. He reports that the ovations were
so ovcrpowering and so constant that his reg
ular. Of dining and sleeping were, per
force, thrown overheard for the time; and,
while he rejoices in the opportunities he had
to see the great uprisings and outPourings Of
the American people, he is conscious that
his physical organization has suffered some
damage.
They met crowds everywhere, upon whom
this foreign gentleman looked with wonder
the enthusiasm Of the masses also excited his
highest admiration. He was proud to be one
of the party, but he cannot understand how
TIE president and Mr.. SEWARD and the rest
scould sustain the fatgues of the ovations
along their line of travel. They have nc
quiet meals they retire late, land general
hurly !burly rolls along their path. And yet
he would not have missed these grand de.
monstrations for all the sacrifice he has made
II was such an opportunity to meet the
American people face to face, and to wit
ness their demonstrations in perfect freedom
in favor of the Chief Magistrate of the Re.
public and the Chief of our
Army and Navy as would not soon occur
again.
The testimony Of Mr.. ROMERO, an unbiased
observer, although deeply interested from the
novelties of the scenes he passed through, il
quite as convincing as anything else we have
heard or seen respecting the strength of thu
popular demonstration in favor of The PREsI
DENT.

A very amusing episode occurred yester-
day in the Radical Convention at Philadel-
phia, which reads somewhat strangely CON-
ing from the reconstructed" A motion
was made TO receive the delegates from.
Northern States The consideration OF this
was moved to be postponed until after the
adoption Of the address, Considerable re-
mark was INDUCED in, to the effect that the
Southern delegates had better transact their
own business, and that II might result in
disaster and bad feeling II the Northern
members were lot in. Assurance was
promptly given by prominent Southern
leaders that II was not intended TO permit
them to participate in the deliberations, but
only to sit in the convention and have "a
good time oil together With this under
standing committee Of five was appointed
to wait upon the ''mudsills" and make are
rangernents for the proposed "good time"
When we recall the course pursued by the
lust Congress with reference to admitting
Southern Representatives and the much,
mooted point as to whether the Southern
States were entitled to voice In the national
councils, even ITO have a good time" there,
the above action at Philadelphia assumes on
aspect Of mingled hvmors and sarcasm which
cannot fail to strike the unprejudiced OBJ
server very forcibly.-Bu6alo Commercial.
