The Emperor has thrown u trump card, in
thus accepting the challenge OF the modern
IIerbisses. without whom nothing is sacred but
confusion, nothing just but anarchy, nothing
stable but chaos. Napoleon will not abate one

that fixed for the Goth Of November; will issue
no proclamation 10 the nation. He has won by
his frmne-s the greater consideration for his
difficult position even from the moderate opposi-
tion-whose watch-word is, everything by dis
cussiOn-nothing by revolution. With such a
programme, and time, France can have every
