RETURN CONSIDERED DoUBTFUL-HIs POWER
TRANSFERRED TO THE CORPS LEGIsLATIF.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.I
LONDON, Monday, Aug. Is, 1870.
The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE writes
from Paris Sunday evening 1ith: THE feeling is
more and more hostile to the Emperor. 1t is openly
said in cafes railway trains and public places that
come what may, the Emperor will never again be
seen in Paris. People express this opinion with
energy, not now fearing mouchd,ds Government
informers). But No surrender is the general cry
among all classes They call the Emperor an
imbecile' and his generals courtiers' and traitors;
but even the strongest anti-lmperasts say that of
course the enemy must be driven ont of France, and
are under the impression that the nation can and
will conquer.
The OpiHion Rationale ventures to say that, after
what passed in the Chambers yesterday, there is
already a change of government; that the Corps
Legslatif is virtually Committee of Public Safety,
and that the power is transferred from the Tueres"
