nc Dreams OF the BOnAp0rtes.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6-A correspondent
of the World gives the details of an in
tervisw with N. Cont, a member of the
French Assembly, and late private secre-
tary of the ex-Emperor Napoleon. NJ
Conf repudistes the decheance, on the
ground that il was the work of the AS
sembly, not of the people, from whom
Napoleon received his title to reign.
Confident in the popularity of Napoleon
with the great msjority of the French
people, all the efforts of the Imperialis;s
will be devoted to securing a plebiscite
or popular vote on the restoration of the
Empire. He said the primary step will
be the election of some of the former
representatives of the imperial ministers
as deputies in the assembly. The rest
will be determined opposition to the
arbitrary measures NJ. Theirs has adopt
ed, and intends 10 adopt, for the taxaiiyn
of country whose means are
Unlimited, but which brooks i'll
attempts a. taxing necessaries
and stinting manufactures. Thus,
in the Charente the rumored rupture of
the treaty of commerce with England has
caused the greatest dissatisfaction. One
thing will bring on another, and when NJ.
Theirs sees that the opposition offered to
him in the house by few deputies is
supported By majority of the country,
he will give in his resignation. Every
thing will be prepared for this. The
weak and wayering deputies will take
heart and accept the resignation, and we
shall propose some capable man of our
party 20 replace N. Thiers; and once
elected, we shall take plebiscite through
out the country, and the result is known
to Us beforehand. He denounced the
King of Italy, and said ne has requited US
with the deepest ingratitude for all the aid
and assistance we have given him. He is a
creature made by the Emperor, and EOt
wishing 10 have war with him, we &C.
cepted his loyalty as pledge that when
our troops were Withdrawn from Italy
our flag, floating as safeguard over the
papal states, would have been sufficient
guarantee for their being left intact; but
the Italians, when they knew we were
engaged in war, and unable to watch
them, proited by our weakness to make
what they called United Itsly. Every
effort will be made By the Emperor to
restore his holiness to lis rights, but in
the present state of thia country, war,
however righteous, would be most unpop
ular. We have lost portion Of our
frontier, and We must first redeem that
before we can again try the issue of a
foreign question by force of arms.
