and speculatiOns, the insurance on the En-
peror's life, and the real estate which the
Empress bought In her own name when she
was on the throne, and which IS approx

woe must indeed have been unutterable, cried

Mr. Robert Mitchell, apprehends that she Will

mote BoDapartism. Habit is second nature.
