The dismissal Of Baron Haussmann by Napo

The dismissal OF Baron Haussmann by Hapo-
leon, in accordance with the new ministry, and
directly in opposition to his own, is regarded in
Paris as an event OF prime importance, and in
dicative OF the power OF the imperial advisers.
The Emperor was dcsirlcus OF retaining the Pre-
feet. This is proved by letter which his Majesty
wrote to him, and which establishes the fact
that the first act Of the Cabinet to ask for the
removal OF the Prefect OF the Seine, account OF
the extravaganza of his administration and the
unnecessary sums expended In charging and
beautfying the city. The Emperor has strong
personal regard for NJ. Haussmann, and had pro.
missed to maintain him, but thought it proper to
defer to the expressed desire OF his ministers.
The imperial letter contains an assurance OF the
sovereign, and his regret ut parting with an ofl!-
Ger so widely and deserVedly esteemed. NJ.
Cherreau has been appointed as the successor OF
Baron Haussmann. This action OF the Emperor
has created good feeling In Paris, especially
among the Liberals, and their organs say that
tn disposition Will go far towards strengthening
the dynasty.
