Emanuel, he is said to nave been reconciled
to the Catholic Church and received its last
offices for toe dying. Whether this will have

of error in a career fraught with such dangers

add to the moral weight Of The Pope with the
other contumaciols sovereigns OF Europe.

them and they started to meet him. Some

Prince Napoleon has brought suit against
his bootmaker. They had quarrclled about
some little trihc, and SO Plon-POn withdrew

added sex" to his title, so that the sign read,

Fayre was to defend him, but after mature
del!beratlon declined, as he feared to have his
political character involved. The case Is to be
decided in November.

in which she is detained These dispatches
arc sent of in her presence to the Court OF
Brussels, and she does not quit the oihcc TILL
she has received the answers. Ono of the
strangest pecuaritcs of her mental state IS

dimes with her, is obliged TO put his plate on a
corner of the chimncy-piccc Her fixed idea
is still that people want to poison her; and she
will never consent TO cat Of any dish that has
not been previously tasted. Her nights are
very agitatcd, and she only gels lew hours
OF quiet sleep toward the morning.
