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.

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.

The great fact 1s that Monsieur N——-—- obtain- od from M. dc Bismarck permission to traverse the lines of the army of Prince Frederick Charles, and to go to Marshal Bazainc. Ills passport even authorized the bearer of it on his return to bring one or two persons with him. 'Monslcul' N———was, in fact, present- cd to Marshal Bazainc on the 24th Sep- tember, and informed him that (M. do Bismarck was determined not to treat for peace with the Government of Paris ; that his settled resolution was to enter into negotiations with tho legitimate ro- prcsoututivcs of the Imperial Govern- ment, or with the General Commanding- in Chief of the armies of France. Mon- sieur N—uppenrcd to feel certain that M. de Bismarck would, in a negotiation so conducted, make every concession compatible with the interests of Ger- many, and would not insist on demands that Would compromise the dignity of France.

She wish- cd, before taking- a part, to Confer with one ofthc chiefs of the My 0" the RM“?- jMJsI'a‘hfldfll‘flfOflUl‘l or ‘GOIICIJI Bourbakt. The mission of Monsrour N was to bring on. of those two to England. M. dc Bismarck evidently ‘lcut himself to those pacific hopes. The passport sigu- ‘ cd by himself was proof sufficient on that cint. After much hesitation, in- three by the concurrences of truth-like appearances, yielding to a foelin of great respect, and not wishing to p ace any obstacle in the way of concluding an honorable peace, Mmlml Bazuino re~ solved to call to his old General Bour~‘ baki.

The Marshal soothed the honest scruplcs of the General by sending him a written order. and drew up for the army of the Rhino an order of the day, which ex. plained the reason of this temporary ab. scnco. General Bourbaki doffcd at once his uniform, put on tho attire of a civil- ian, and left with Monsieur N who was instructed to conduct him through the enemy's lines. It was at nightfall that the two travellers arrived at the advanced posts of the I‘russiuns. A pm'lcy was sounded, but was not heard, and their jotflloy was put off till tho following morning. 0n the 25th the lines were passed without any hin- drance, and by-and-by a Prussian colonel madc his appearance, who for twenty- fuur hours waited the return of Monsieur N .

A special train had been ordered at tho expense of the Prussian staff. General Bourbakl was rapidly carried to thc Belgian frontier.

MANIFESTO 0F NAPOLEON. The following document has been for. wanted to tho Daily Telegraph from the office of La Situation, a French journal recently established In London. It up- peara under the title “Les Idccs do I’ Emporour.” and is introduced by the statement that Count Bismark, immodi. aton after the failure of the negotiations which ho had with M. Juice Favrc, for~ worded an exact report of what had pass- cd to Williolmshoho.

Inclin- ed by generous measures to a close and loyal alliance with Germany, Franco would be the first to admit that a line of defence between the two empires, domi- nated by fortresses, would no longer need to exist. As to the extreme sacri- fices which France ought to make, she would not hesitate to make them the moman she was allowed to perceive the immense advantages to botlrthat would result from a pence, which would have henceforth their own free will as its solo arbiter. Upon this basis tho other powcrr, which must maintain a complete reserve so long as France shall retain a hope of victory, would have a serious cause for intervention. Che sincere and plain exposition of the truth has always established a sympathetic current bo- tweoo Franco and myself which nothing could destroy. It would be enough, i believe, for me to affirm that our honor has no injury to fear from a rcconcilia~ tion based on .tho disarmament of fort- rcssos which have now become useless ; and upon the principle of a war indem. nity to be determined by inventory, for peaco to become possible. By these conditions Franco may be prevented from having- recourse to those extremi- tics which by a cupricc of fortuuomight only give the death blow to the social order of Europe. Reconductod by éx- perionco to a just estimate of «he (livi- sious which are tearing licr asunder, and delivered from the scourge of war, Franco would not hesitate to acknowledge that as she is compelled to attribute hcr min. fortune to the want of political unity, the ought for the future to look for proa- pcrity from the strictly observed in~ violnbility of her institutions. These considerations are losing weight every day, especially if the King hesitates to take account of them before attacking Paris.
