ENGLISH OPINION OF FRENCH AFFAIRS.
LONDON Saturday, Oct 9, 1869.
The London Times to-day has an editorial on the
state of affairs in France. The writer says: The
sefrestTalnt and fOrbearance of NJ Keratry and his
colleagues ut this juncture is evidence OF the fit
ness Of France to control her destines, and we
have little doubt they will reap the benefit of their
moderation. Under the old empire immense fields
were open to those who would work much and risk
little. There was always chance for good men and
true to stand their ground firmly, though temperate

as we have got aud should scarcely have heard the

THE TRUE STORY OF NAPOLEON'S SICKNESS.
lFROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENCE
PARIS, Sept. 2S.-The telegraph announced lately
that the Emperor had taken carriage ride and had
also been at the races in the Bots de BOulOgne. The
Imperalst Journals in Paris in ecstacies at this,
and would fain have the public believe that the
health of Napoleon is completely reGStabshed but
the very exaggeraon of their expressions of triumph
reveals their fears The friends of the Empire know
well that these personal exhibitions of the Emperor
are to he attributed rather TO energetic resolution
than TO a real cOnvalescence. The medical descrip-
ton of bis disease, published in the "R6veil" of
Paris corrObOrates this opinion This analysis is the
work of q distinguished Partisan physician, who has
skilfully grouped the scattered details, and by
scientific deduction has succeeded in producing a
diagnosis, the truth of which has startled and pro-
foundry affected Imperialists
The mother of Napoleon Ill, HOrtense de Beauhar-
nails, died of an internal cancer and from her the
Emperor received this sad heritage. She of
lymphaticonervOus temperament, and it is well
known that this temperament becomes the source of
serious malades especially when of various
kinds have in the of life enfeebled the cOnsi
tuition The physical suferings of the Emperor date
from an early period. Before the coup d6Gt of '5l,
they had assumed alarming character, and had
taken the form of fits, more or less violent, of
sciaticl neuralgia, whose origin attri-
buted, not without cause to irritation of
the spine. RnmoTs circulated among the more
intimate personal attendants and friends of Prince
Louis, that these attacks manifested themselves
sometimes in a to the greatest uneasi-
ness, leaving general prOstratiOn of the nervous
system the result After the coup d6tat these midi
cations became still painful and in 1852 the
occasion of the visit of Napoleon TO the GrandDuch
ess of Baden, during the night which preceded

rendered impossible the least movement of his limbs
and would necessarily have prevented his appear

in the palace nor to miss the review, not even desr-
ing to inform his attendants of his suerings, be de-
termned to remove them without extraneous help.
Against these attacks he had often employed with
success blister and running cauteTiZaton along the

nerve sparlng himself little that at several places
the flesh was painfully burned. The remedy had
the desired result and the next day, nOtwithstand
ing the pain from the burns, he mounted his horse
and took part in the review. But time arrived
when blisters, cauterizatOns, and other remedies
united, produced no longer any effect Their action
failed before the force and progress of the maady.
Then hydropathy was tried. The new treatment
succeeded for some time and delivered the patient
from dyspepsia which had come to complicate af-
fairs. This relative good health continued
up TO 1850. Until then no appreciable trace
of disease revealed itself in the gentourinary
organs, beyond the fact that they were torpid
and required sometimes to be artifcally excited.
But in 1860 new symptoms appeared and cOncen-
trated themselves principally on this point. Some
physicians feared the development of diabetes

but succumbed to numerous operations. Violent
hemOrThages nearly always followed these opera
tons, and manifested themselves often even without
apparent cause. These attacks greatly enfeebled
the Emperors constitution; the operations were
sometimes followed by syncope, and urethral fever
declared itself and gave way only under arsenical
treatment At this moment the retention appears to
be fixed; the catheter is frequently necessary and
an obstinate seeplessness often troubles the patient
with occasional painful attacks Of hiccOughing.
After serious examination of the diverse manfes-
tatons OF the Empcrors disease men of science have
rejected the idea of any rheumatic affection, and
have agreed that the malady is distension of the
PROSTATE gland and varcose swelling or fungus of
the bladder. This disorder only shows itself at in
