What fate is in store for Napoleon the
Third? Il will be well to leave this question
unanswered for the present. Much as We
blame Napoleon for this war, We would not
heap abuse upon him now that he has fallen
from bis high estate We cannot forget his
many merits. IF, as the result has proven,
the Empire has been a hollow institution, it
has at least been strong; and France, for TWEEN
ty years, has basked in prosperity for which
Napoleon is mainly to be credited. His star
has gone down but we must not allow our
selves to be deceived Toto the belief that the
French people will soou forget the House Of
Bounaparte Death may soon relieve the fallen
Emperor OF his cares; but ii his unfortunate
son is spared distracted France at some future
time may rally around hin. az deliverer.
The Empire is dear to the French people it
is necessarily associated with the House Of Bou-
naparte; and although it may pass away for
the present, it is not impossible that it will re-
appear in pride aud spIeudos under fourth
Napoleon.
What will be the fate Of France? It is not
our opinion that Prussia will be unnecessarily
exacting in her demands She will no doubt,
according to the laws of war, demand compen-
sation for the expenses she has incurred and the
losses she has sustained But there is no rea-
son to believe that,she will use her power to
impose government upon France contrary to
the wishes of the people. She could not do
this without losing morally the fruit OF her
great victory. To restrain the French people
in their choice of form of government would
shock the good sense of the entire world. OF
course We are here taking it for granted that
the war is ended We do not think that Paris
will hold ont, now that resistance is simply
suicidal.-N T. Herald
