THE PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EMPEROR.

Sovereigns who live on espionage, and buttress up their powor by means of *rouchcry and corruption, would do well

0 burn their letters. Thutis one of the lessons which the experience of tho Em- peror Napoleon supplies. free of cost, to all poteututcs who are given to crooked ways. .. .

‘~..

The Provisional Government of Paris are doing for the Emperor what. he did for his uncle-athey are publishing his correspmulcncr. not in costly editions, but in the columns of the official press, thereby bringing it, at the price of a few sous, witth the reach of the poorest. It will be remembered that the war with Mexico was undertaken ostensiny for the purpose of makng tho Mexican Go- vernment pty its creditors, among whom M. Jeckcr figured for a fabulous amount. It was believed at the time tbut this gentleman, as soon as he found that ho was likely to have a backer in the Em- peror, doubled or treblcd the sum which was really duo to him, and it appears that the aggregate was to be taxed tn the tune of 30 per cent... hi the benefit of the Emperor's near relative, the Duke dc Murny. The war which ended in the. bumiliutiou of France and the overthrow and doth of the Emperor Maximilian Was virtually M. Jockcr’s war, and it is a fact which needs no comment that a needy brunch of the Imperial family was ingot one-third of the apeculator‘s nu- ticipntml spoils. A second extract is a note dictated by the Emperor to his private secretary, sketching the policy to be adopted towards Prussia. The main idea oi it'is this: Prussia in rather shy of dillt‘fihg into any working at ange- mcnll '1‘“ xVance because shc thinks that France wants the Ill-inc frontier. Diaabaa Prussia on this point. :31th her tho 9 look to Belgium for an ex- tension of our tcrritor , and not to the

journals are to be started;

Prussian provinces. . r jcct in a secret treaty, Will'c'awtll com~ promise an bind both parties. This note, which is in the handwriting of the Emperor's private secretary, is clearly the original of the secret treaty which was afterwards drawn up by M. Benc- detti, and it proves dccisivcly that tho lmpcror himself was the author of the shameful project which he afterwards found it convenient to disuwn.

Further extracts from the Emperor's private correspondence were published in Paris on tbo25tl1 ult. With the ex- ception of one curious letter from the Queen of Holland, which her Majesty will now regret having written, they re- Iutc maiuLy to the domestic politics of Franco, and place in a sturtlinglight the corrupt intrigues of the Imperial admin- istration. \\'c are It I into the interim- of the cabinet notr,'a department of the Post Olllcc, where the letters ol'snspcct- ed persons were unsealed and copied for tho Emperor's information. We know already that M. ’l‘rochu. although a man of great military cruditiou and of the highest abilities, was not entrusted with any important command because he was believed to be not in entire ac- cord with the Imperial regime. This unicorn to have been the fact, and the Emperor knew it very well. Ilia spy at tho oat-office had opened a letter ad- dressed, to General Trochu by General Ducrot, and copied it‘ for for his Major ty’s perusal. ’l'he tenor of this letter was almost prophetic. The writer de- clares boldly that if war broke out, the Germans would be able to put 600,000 men in the field before Franco could muster 300,000. 110 describes Alsuco sad the Vosgos as overrun with Prus- sian spies. and declares that he has at last been driven to the same opinion as General 'I‘rochu—namely. that the Go- vurnmont was absolutely imbecile. It would have been well for the Emperor if be had followed the advice of those able and honest man, instead of acllin him- self and the army to dotterers. at to what lengths must the system of copiou- ago have been carried when one Goncral could not write to another without being bctrayodl The chief of tho post-office detectives appears to bav thought that his services were not will ntly remun- erated, and M. Persi ny, who had been made acquainted w th his grievance, urged the Emperor to ivo him better pay. “The man must ave something to eat,” ho foolineg observes. and ho asks for half an hour’s private talk with the Emperor on the subject. But M. Pcrsignlv, thou b one of the Emperor’s bosom rlonds, shimaoll watched by the Elm oror'a closer friend. M. Piotr-i, the Exact of tho police. M. Porsl ny has

u soon to shake hands with . Glals Bisoin in a cafe, and M. Piotri re arts the fact to the Empcrcr as "a sign of the times.” H. Giais Blacia is opposed to the Empire; 8. Persigny is opposed to M. Ronhor, the Emperor’s avorito Minister. The two shake hands. What can this portend but a conspiracy against the Government? H. Persist: is ver oa ken in his coramcnicatfgas wl the ror.

and that. he could not shake hands with a member of Opposition, but the fact was atralghtway reported at tho Tulllcrics.

Not the least interesting of the papers is the confidential report addressed to the Emperor on the measures taken to make the Press of France subservient to the views of the Government prior to the last general election. The dc urt- ment entrusted with this important usi- ucss wont about it in the most systema- tic manner imaginable. They drew up lists of all the papers published through- out Fruucc, with the politics of each. They observe that the great mq’ority of the papers are devoted to tho Govern- ment, but those published in the coun- try districts are not devoted to polemical politics, uud, as compared with the pa. pers in tho sorvico of the Opposition, they are sadly locking in force. Theso rural journals are cdmmcndctl to the management of the prefecta; a column or two are to be retained in each, of course at a price, and the space thus bought is to be filled up by eloquent load- ov-writcra in the puy‘oftbo Government. The Incusurcs demanded by the occasion are classified. In some places new in other places it will be sufficient to make a grant of money to the proprietors of ex- isting papers.

Those who have followed with some uttcntion the conduct of the Paris press since the Ct)llllllCllt'Clll('lll. of the war must find it hard to express in wunls the sense of utter and absolute disgust which it could not but inspire in the hearts of all honest. men. As on exhibition of vul~ gar, shallow, mcuducious incapacity, of rccrcuncy to all duty, patriotism includ- t‘ll, it is a more humiliating spectacle

than the iucomnofeur-n at tho gen-nus to whom in an on hour Franco entrust-

ctI the management ofits armies. There is but one cxcuo for both—Manchester Examiner.
