to remind one Of other cities--even tho
silence here is strsnge. Under your
window is heard the splash Of oars, a
cry from the gondolier, broken song,
and now and then the chime Of bells
which mingle in chorus from nearly
two hundred churches. The very ar.

The much talked Of Napoeonic
pamphlet has at last appeared. The
oipct Of the writer, whoever he may
be, is to establish beyond question the
superior right of the Napoleon family
to reign in France, over that Of any
other house, by reason of the votes
given for Napoleon 7, "a Emperor, and
those which his nephew obtained, first
as representative Of the people to the
Constituent Assembly, then as Presi-
dent Of the Republic. and lastly, as
candidate to the imperial throne which
he now fills. The character Of the pop
ular origin Of both sovereigbs is dwell
upon in an introduction. traced, we are
told, by an august hand accustomed TO
literary composition. The Pebiscites
which founded the Empire, the mani>
featations Of universal suffrage, and the
constitution Of 1862, with The amend.
