gence from Paris that the French Ministry, with
their decided predection for the Napoleonic ideas
and dynasty have been confirmed by the French
Legislature at time. too when Wall street was led
to believe tnat the French cause was so demolished
as leave hope for no alternative save peace with
out Napoleon. The sudden strength which the En-
peror has thus shown has checked temporarily all
speculations as TO his dethronement and the aboli-
tion OF the empire. and started grave fears

and disgrace, may not second him TO the uc.ormost
