COLONEL ro1NnY's EXPECTATIONS.

COLONEL FoRNEY's EXPECTATIONS.
The Hon. John w. Forney, Of Pennsyl-
yania, arrived in town yesterday, and had
the honor Of an audience with His Imperial
Majesty. Colonel Forney's devotion to the
Imperial cause before the establishment of
the Empire is we'll known, and it is the opin-
ion in court circles that the veteran journalist
will receive some substantial marks Of His
Imperial Majesty's favor.
wATTERsoN, MARQUIS OF BOURBON.
Lord Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, who
has been on prolonged official visit through
the southern portion of the empire, where his
services in the establishment of the Imperial
government have been crowned with such
signal success, is expected to arrive in town
tomorrow, and we understand, that in con-
sideration of his brilliant political achieve
ments, His Imperial Majesty has been graz
ciously pleased to create His Lordship Mar
quis of Bourbon.
DANA UNDER IMPERIAL DIsPLEAsURE.
Rumors were current in the capital yester-
day that Charles A. Dana, Of New York, the
disloyal and virulent Unionist, whose oppo-
siticn to the Imperial cause was 80 pro-
nounced during the candidature of His I'm
perial Majesty in 1880, has been arrested
near Buffalo. Dana's disloyal sheet, the New
York Sun, it will be remembered, was sum-
marily suppressed and two of its editors
transported for life when the Imperial troops
entered New York city.
BEEoHER AN IMPERIAL CHAPLAIN.
Bishop of Brooklyn, whose conversion to
the Methodist Episcopal Church was stimuli

as Imperial Chaplain without delay, and will
preach before the Imperial family at the M.
E. Cathedral on Sunday next.

The old figure of Liberty, which surmount-
ed the dome of the capitol here, has been

From the Army and Navy News.
It has been officially decided by the Min

BUTLER LATE IN IMPERIAL ALLEGIANCE.
We are gratifed to be in position to state
that Gen. B. F. Butler, of Massachusetts,,
has at last taken the oath of allegiance to
His Imperial Majesty, and we are reliably in
formed that it is the intention of the I'M
perial government to place the gallant GEN
eral in position where his conceded abili-
ties will be of service to the Empire. Gen.
Rnt Vui1 a. no al ~

BEAUREGARD AN IMPERIAL COMMANDER.
Major General Beauregard, commanding
the Division of the South, gave grand
banquet to number of the resident aris-
tocracy at Mobile last week. The recognition
of General Beauregard by His Imperial Ma
jesty, and his appointment by Imperial order
to the important command he now holds,
created, it will be remembered, great en-
thusiasm in the South. General Beaure-
gard, in proposing the health of His I'M
perial Majesty, hoped that Southern society
would always be loyal to the Emperor
sentiment which was drank with repeated
cheers.
PLOTTING TREASON.
AS we 60 to press we learn that dispatches
have Just been received by the Minister of
War to the effect that several officers of the
Imperial Service, who have been for some
time past suspected of plotting treason, and
of being in correspondence with the enemies
of His Imperial Majesty, were placed in
arrest at Albany, New York, last week. The
arrest was kept secret, but an investigation
left no doubt of the existence of dangerous
plot to overturn the Imperial government,
and at subsequent court martial, which
finished it's sittings yesterday, five of the
officers were found guilty on all the charges
preferred against them. They will be shot
at daybreak tomorrow morning.
