WHY THE EMPEROR RUSHED INTO WAR.
New YORK, Sept. The Iiibunc's Paris
correspondent writes again: a story Is cur
rent in faEs which would account for the
diilerenas nixcen a PAPER and the effective
forces Of the army, and which, TO certain
extent, explains why the Emperor rushed
into var, although he knew that he was I'M
prepared for ii. Of late years his civil list
has not been large enough to provide for the
lavish expense Of his court, his largesse to
his adherents, and the secret service money,
which was required TO keep up a love of I'M
perialism among his subjects. About two
million pounds sterling were therefore yearly
taking from the Minister Of War and handed
over TO him. This larceny was concealed
by stories figuring in accounts which never
had been paid, andiloatins money was paid
into the Military Treasury by those
who were drawn for CONSUMPTION to
enable the government to buy substitutes.
Eli IL l.
had an effective force of fifteen hundred.
Many for substitutes were appropriated to
the civil list. When the Emperor
was obliged, Il few months ago
to Weld to the cry for Parliament
reform, he knew that the next Legislatif
would contain so many ConstitutiOnalists
that, even, il there was still an Imperial ma
