| ARRIVAL OF NAPOLEON IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, March 2O.--(New York World
| Special. .)-Napoleon, who arrived to-day,
| meeting the correspondent of the World,
an old friend, said !: my return to France
| is only a question of time. Sooner or later
she win summon me to save her from the
| incapables who are now displaying their
| folly and madness in shedding her blood
and plunging her into anarchy. My pre-
tended deposition will never be ratified by
the people. There are only two parties in
France who possess real strength, the re-
pubiicans and imperialists; but the em-
pire alone is able to conduct France to true
and permanent liberty. The Orleanist pos
sess only imaginary strength. They dare
not venture an appeal to the popular will. !"
The Emperor is in excellent health.

Paris: "Men of the barricades have taken
possession of the ministry of justice, and
assassinated Generals, Clement Thomas
and Lecoinpte. Who are members of the
committee is unknown, as is also what
