pleasure. The Emperor does not speak to hlm

buke to Horace Greeley, who, it says, has just
disgraced himself, his newspaper, and the
American press by one Of the most UNANIMOUSLY

tempt. The offender has done this sort OF
thing too often to deserve that delicacy in dis
cussing it which his wears or presumed SER
vices would otherwise naturally command, and

utmost respect for whatever is respectable
about him. that The language employed by him
in the article referred to is such Is to unfit him
for the society Of gentlemen, lrasmucn as it is
the sort commonly confined to blackguards.
