LATEST FROM NAponEoN.-A letter,
purportiug to give an insight into tue
imperial life at Chiselhurst, with other
interesting details, has appeared re-
Gently. II it be correct in all it's details,
it creates fresh chapter in the life OF
the exiled monarch, and reveals do
mestio history interesting in the or
treme. However, it is not with the iu-
. cidents OF the palace or the homestead
weTould deal; it is rather with the stu
dtioni ithe ideas and hopes OF its imerial
: occupant. The curious. no doubt, will
be interested in learning that the EN-
peror' Napoleon, the Empress and their
son Louis, are not really destitute. The
, Emperor. it seems, is in the enjoyment
Of 100000 francs per annum. while
!. 20. 0QQ, 900 francs are invested, and bear
ing Interest, in various ways. in the
name and for the interest of the Prince
Imperial. With such an income no fear
need be entertained of the immediate
poverty of the imperial family. The
hopes of speedy recall to the throne
are oil in the ascendant in the Napoleonic
mind, and If we are to believe the ao-
counts before us, the Emperor's agents
are busy at work, not only in France,
for that is only what has long been gene
rally know, but also in Russia and Ger
many. In the former country they have
been assured that the Czar would view
with satisfaction a speedy restoration of
the empire in France, while the heir ap-
parent to the throne openly assured the
agent that, that no matter what his
fathers opinions may be, he will always
consider it Rugsia's interest to support
France and restore her Rhine provinces
to her, provided France gives up the
policy pursued by her toward Russia at
the outbreak of the Crimean war. From
Germany the reports are not so favorable;
but still, in presence Of the annoyance
felt by Bismarck at the conduct of
France, and his consequent threat to
take from her the whole of her border
land to the line of the Saone, restore
Nico and Savoy to Victor Emmanuel,
and so constitute France federative re-
public, the exile of Ohiselhurat sees
sure hope toward q restoration. Indeed,
80 sure is the Emperor, that he fixes the
time at which it is likely to take place.
His Majesty, we arc told, gives Theirs a
Tow months more lease of power; then
Gambetta comes to the surface only to
quickly disappear again, and then comes
the empire. This may be true or false
prophecy, az the case turns out; but of
this we are certain, that monarchy or
an empire would be better for the inte-
rests OF France than the present mis-
named republic. If it be republic, it
certlinly differs from oil other republics
we have ever heard or read Of, in it's sys-
tenn of police espionage and personal
surveillance, press suppression and other
tyrannies unknown to any republic. To
bring about all this, his Majesty does not
fear the use of money. if necessary, for
from America alone, he states, he can
have 40.000.000 francs; while. not very
long ago, a British sdrdnt offered Is, ,00O,-
600 francs for the Napoleon collection of
autographs, among which ia an original
letter Of Christopher Columbus. What
effect on the politics of Europe or on the
general stdtn quo of the nations the
Bonapartist restoration would have, it is
now hard to say; but it is likely enough
that it would inaugurate new era If
conspiracies and assassinations.
WHO IL KING CAUCUS? p HIS GENEALoGY.-
The word ''caucus" now universally applied
to preliminary political meetings for the se-
lection OF party candidates aud promoting,
party interests. although Of purely American
origin, is not unfamiliar in Europe. W. see
by tho cable dispatches that even the slow
grandees Of Spain have enthroned king

oeen holding caucus Of the Oortes prelimi-
nary to the selection of President to that
august body. In the United Statos the word
IL. among politicians and newspaper readers
one OF almost dniiy use, yet but few know it's
origin. It is Boston word. of revolutionary
origin. first used by tories as term To eI.

meetings. The Knicker6ocker Magazine SAYS:
