The Hoboken ferryboat was stopped,

Napoleon ordered Marmont, III case
BlCcher should resume the offensive, to
abandon Paris and hasten to Chalons.
This was not a sudden decision. The
contingency had been mentioned in a
letter of Feb. s to Joseph, and again
from Reims emphatic injunctions to
keep the empress and the king of Rome
from falling into Austrian hands were
issued to the same correspondent "Do
not abandon my son." the emperor
pleaded, "and remember that / would
rather see him in the Seine than in the
hands Of the enemies Of France The
fate Of Astanyax, prisoner to the Greeks,
has always seemed to me the unhap-
piest in history" In this ultimate de-
cision Napoleon showed how cosmopol-
itan he had grown. He had forgotten,
if he ever understood, the extreme cen-
tralization of France He should have
known that, Paris lest, the head of the
country was gone and that the dwarfed
limbs could develop little or no national
vitality. Life of Napoleon, by Pro-

CARDINAL sAToLL1,s PLANS.
By Request of the Pope He WIN Re

BY Request of the Pope He VIII Re
main Here Several Months.
1t is understood the departure of Car
diDal Satoli for Rome has been deferred
until the autumn. The cardinal has been
anxious to return home, and bad arranged
to leave about this time.
A few days since lie received a personal
letter from the holy father intimating a de-
sire that he should remain in the United
States few months longer. but making the
matter optional with him. He has deter
mined to remain. 1t is believed the reason
why the pontifical authorities prefer his
presence for while longer in this country
is the difficulty in selecting a proper sue
cesSor.
The course of Cardinal Satolli has been
80 eminently satisfactory to the church as
to Justify all the expectations entertained
at the time of bis appointment. His policy
and attitude in confining his administration
exclusively to ecclesiastical sub. .iects has set
precedent most desirable to follow. and
1T is regarded as necessary his successor
should be endowed with the same qualities
which have SO distinguished him.
The cardinal In a very recent converse.
ton, spoke with much emotion of the cour.
tesy and kindness which have been almost
his unvarying experience in the United
States. He said he should be glad to re-
| member what some of his kind friends here
| had requested. that he must ALWAYS copside,
| himself an American cardinal.
