prominent men Of the imper;a1;s.

the demonstrations that are n -
organized in honor Of Napoleon w.
majarity. I advise you to. attach ~
importance to the rumors which h,rs
been circulated recently Is to tho
young Princes unwillingness to coraa
forward as a pretender for anotlas
twelvemonth-that is, until his stna;e.
are terminated. BE himself nav 10
unwilling; but I know that prn
Bismarck is anxious-and, indeed ~.
far as in him2iea determined-h'.
the restoration shall be accomn,;sh.'
as soon as possible, and at the 6,H.s
moment he may be trusted to he|n H.
Bonopartists by raising some
DIPLOMATIC INCIDENT
which will compel MacMahon,.
Ministers md then MacMahon b;mso,f
to eesign. do not pretend that tha:
B~onapart;sts r acting in COLLISION
with the German government in Tho
conspiracy-for it is a real conspirncv-
to compass MacMahon's ove.ibrow
but the position is as follow-Mcc'
Mahon is not liked by the republican,.
party in France, and he is mistrusted.
by most of the royaiist majority, who.
brought him to power. Now, the r..
publicans are gathering in strength Ut.
every election, and in proportion as.
the royalists see their majority decline.
they are growing more and more
clamorous that the government should:
abet them in their schemes for n:
royalist restoration. They are a very
hot-beaded party, and are rendered,
more so by the knowledge that unless
tney 90 something to effect q roya1ist
restoration while the present Assembly
lasts their chance will be gone, for Of
the next general election they will be
in q hopeless minority. What they
really wish is that
IMAGINATION SHOULD STRIKE A Corp.
D'ErAT
and declare the Count of Chamborl'
King Of France, or, failing thai
Hrince's willingness to accept the,
tricolor flag, establish the Count Of
Paris as Regent. They have over and
over again tried to edge on the Mar
shall to Go this, and are cdging him
now, but the Marshal declines. Mean.
while the republicans, as above said,
are gaining in strength every dry,
and soon the Marshal will stand in this
dilemma Either he must cast in his:
lot with the republicans and choose
himself q Cabinet out of their ranks,
or he must submit to be dictated to-
by the royal;sts. If he refuses either.
alternative the royaliste will: in all
PROBABILITY, overthrow the Duke do
Broglie, who is obnoxious to them,
and try to force upon the Marshal o.
Cabinet compose Of their own mon.
Butthen will be lifetime for Bismrck's.
Interference. the French, un!lappily
foa themselves, are still keeping their
frigate, the Orenoque, in the waters Ct
Civita Veccllia for the purpose If
CONVEYING AWAY THE POPE
if lie should want to leave Rome. The
Duke de Broglie wished to call back
this frigate, bot the royalists in the
Assembly would not allow him, and at
any moment the italian government,
acting under instructions from Eerlin,
may make OF the Orenoque a cacus
bell. They would say, if tho Broglio
Cabinet were replaced by a royalist
and ultramontaae Ministry, that the,
of Italy was imperilled, and
send an ultimatum demanding the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the Oreloque.
This ulimatum would have to be COM
piled with. France is not prepared to
go to wal with Italy about the Pope
the less so as there would be a fear
That Prussia might side with the
Italians; but, on the other hand, a
Cabinet which tamely accepted IN
from Italy would be exposed
TO the indignation and contempt Of the
whole nation for having dragged tho
honor OF the country into such Diff
iculties and would have to resign. But
his resignation would also shatter tho
whole royalist party and leave Mac
but two choices, either to
by the help Of the republicans
n to order ple1tsc1una, to the end that 9
france might once and for all decide
Ter own fate and set up, If she pleased
A THIRD EMPIRE.
MacMahoni is not the man to hesitate
