secrets of the Empire-NaPoleon's
Correspondence
Tours, Sept. 3O.-A great number OF
private documents belonging TO the En-
peror, which were recently seized at tie
Tuileries by the officers of the new gov
eminent, have Just been made public here
in the columns of the official journal.
Many noted persons under the regime are
implicated in the scandals. The Provis-
ional Government at Paris has already
dismissed Divienne, the President of the
Cour De Cessation, he having been shown
| TO be mixed up in the scandalous transac-
lions of the Emperor and Marguerite
| Bellanger.
The Jecker correspondence in relation
to Mexico was unearthed, duplicating the
Due Duarny and other high officials in
the Emperor's confidence. Besides these
were found letters from Persigny to Ma
poleon, proving the existence of blanl
tribunal and another from the Queen OF
Holland, written directly after the battle
of Sadowa, warning the Emperor against
the very events now occurring.
Altogether the disclosures thus far made
| in regard to the private life OF Napoleon
have substantiated all the charges tina
the opposition ever made and it is though
that the next lot, soon to be published
will be more scandalous.
