PARIS, Monday, Nov. 22-Mldnght.
The Emperor, the Prince Imperial and suite ar
rived from Conplegne yesterday morning, at
quarter before twelve O'CLOCK -Four carriages con-
veyed the imperial party, without escort from the
railway station TO the Tuieries, where the Minister'S
the Project Of the seine and the dgnitaries OF the
court had assembled The Emperor received the re-
port from tue Minister OF tine Inferior, on the Incl
dents connected with the private meetings last Sat
urday ana with respect TO the general physlognomy
OF the capital since the opening of the ballot yes
terday mornlng III the four conscriptlons. There
IS one quality possessed by Napoleon III. which
all must admire. His pluck 10 undoubted. During
the disturbances last June he drove along the boule
ward IN the evening In coupe without escort. He
and the Empress, on the afternoon OF the follow
ing day. proceeded IN an open carriage to the Boule
ward du Prince Eugele, where there q crowd OF
work people. The carriage was brought to a stand
sun, and Tree and easy conversation ensued
between imperial velvet and working blouses which
ended with cheers for the Emperor and Empress.
In the evening there was total cessation OF dlstur-
baDee, anu heard Of the disgracefui
| scenes which had nightly rendered the boulevards
| impossible aud disgracei the capital
OF universal political knowledge--a man who in his
own OPINION knows everything and In mine should
know better-that should disturbance take place
. at the elections and single drop OF
blood be shed, one thousand persons had
agreed TO assassnats the Emperor, and that
even should there De no disturbance his days were
nain0ered-his dynasty az an end. Now OF
his Majesty Is aware Of the Ill feeling which has
Isted IN certain quarters OF the blood and thunder
schoo, and ne mas taken every precaution for the
suppression Oh an outbreak, put tne COCO sense OF
tue people VIII prevail and tho Emperor VIII con-
tuue TO direct the destinies OF France until called
another wor to render an account OF MS steward
ship. Napoleon Ill. has rare merit, one which can
be claimed for no otner French monarch since
the year 1852 He yields To public opinion but IL
ieared that he has yielued on the present occasion
too late That he gives way step by step Instead OF
making complete reform. For my Ow n part, am
vi the opinion that sweeping cnan2es VIII be inau-
gdralej. My opinion Is based on private and reliable
information. If the Emperor by ndecislon or hest
tatlon alloT grievances 10 accumulate he certainly
gains by Tie faults Of his adyersarles.
WltA regard TO the state Paris this the ed OF
November, 1869, the day OF the elections and on
Tranquility has reixned supreme. 1t not until
the extra editions OF the evening papers were pub
llshed that tue result OF tho voting was publicly
known. The oouevards, at an cary hour in the
evening, were crowded with persons IN anxious ex-
pectauon OF the arrival Of the journals, who remain
ca patiently IN the ram with their leet In the mud
10 the Mosques discussing the chances oil tins
candidate aud the merits or the other and When at
last the result was known that the opposition in
Paris at least had gained the day all enthusiasm
esaporated, and people wondered that they bad
Tor moment taken any interest in the return Of
Kocneiort. Why he has been returned Providence
alone tell; Tor all admit that as representative
Of popular cause ne Is totally unsuited. The fol-
lowing are the Official returns OF the eection:-
