After the de..th of the Duke of Richst;adt, in 1832, he became the successor of the Great Napoleon, not, by regular dc.,cc:t, but by virt ue of the Imporial edicts, of 1804and 1805, which fixed the order of suaeession ill the heirs of Joseph, instead of the older brothers of the first Emperor. Soon after this, Louis seemed to have come to the conclusion that destiny had fixed upon him as the deliverer ot the French Repuhlicans, and, in con nection with Colonel Vaudnry, and other officers of the ga:rison of S,tras bourg, on the Jth of GOithor, 1836, he proclaimed a revolutivn. ''his -ntteipt t-> raise hin"elf resulted, in a few day, ii a miserable f..ilure. Taken prisoner by Louis l'hillippe, instead otf being executed for iesur rection, as he expected, he was, through the initerees,ioni of his moth-. er, merely banished fr om the kingdom. Comuing to this country, lhe lcd a life of idleness for aome time, and then went to South America. Soon after, he returned to Europe, and re visiting his sick mother at Areneni burg, ho reached there just in time to witness hecr death. IIere, hie soon commenced various publications in defence of his Strasbourg fiasco, which cause Louis Philippe to demand his expulsion from Switzerland, to aivoid which ho voluntarily withdrew, and took up his residence in England. Here, he oceu'iied his time in writing his Idecs Napoleoniennes, and in get * ting up another revolutionary expedi tion. acopne -- In 1840, aom nidby Count Montholon, an old friend andn( favorite of the Great Emperor, and a retinue of about fifty persons, be sailed from Margate, and in a few days after, landed at Bologne, marched to thle * oairracks arid called upon the soldiers -to surrender or join his standard. This they refused-ai few shots were exchanged, when the nephew of his unole retired to the bills where lie was soon , aifter captured. lie was Stried for treasoni before the lIIoiso of Peers-was (defended by Blerryor, convicted and sentence'd to perpetual imp risonmuent in the F/ortressi of flam. * In 1840, he managed to escape from prison, arid two years after, when the Revolution of 1848 broke out, lhe repaired to Paris, and was chosen a deputy to the National Assembly from the department of the Seine and tharee oter depairtmnents. An effort was inade in the Asseambly to effect his banishment, whieh movement wals led by Lamartine, but after a stormy de bate, lhe was admitted to his seat, iIe was then professedly a strong Repub lican, and as the known ptupil of Li bas, received much credit for his sin cr ity. In May, 1850, lie was elected Pro sident of the Republic by a large ma jurity. Thoumgh nominally Repiubll nan. it wnn soon disoovered that hsis Government was directed muainly to strengtietlnig Iis own power, and the revival of Nap,leonic ideis.

It i, relatl of the Carr Nicholas that, shortly after the Crimean war broke out, he was strolling through an ordnance yard at Sebastopol, survey iug with pride the pyramids of can. non balls piled up there, when he idly chanced to strike one of them with his walking stii"k. It gave back a rtr.ingo, dull sound. An ex mination revealed that it was nmade of wood, and the tame exaggertted wooden nutneg imnpm,ture had been practihed by the contractor in supplying all the balls there stored away.. Following up this clow the Czar asuertnindd that jobbing and fraud per.vaded all do. partments of the army service, and that, except on paper, his empire was in no condition to contend with th( allied powers. Napoleon's army and military eqnipmcnt and provisions are not as deficient and delu,ive us those of Nicholas; but they fall far shut't of what he and the world expected them to be. We question, in the first place, whether the active army was an)thing like 400,000 strong. We have never been able to figure u. more than 250,000 of 275,000'regular French troops in the advance on Pru - sin ; and we believe that the actual enumeration of the men at his con ua nd was the principal reason that induced Napoleon to stand on the dJfensive instead of attempting an inivasion of Pru.-sia. Somebody-or -o:ue military ring-has been dcceiv. ing the Emiporer and getting rich out of the rationus and rnpplies of a pap< r artiy. Then, too, the reserve of 400, 000 men, which were supposed to t'e capable of taking the fild at short nuotie, why have they riot teen availa ble to reinforce the regular army more p)romiptly ? Bourarse, we v'enture to sky, the War Departmtentt was unable to furnish them wi,h i ifles or nusket, If any description, to say nothiig of uh.ss p t=, equipments, and uuifurmrs. More than a year ago we read the statement that France had o%er a million chassepots in her arseotels: and the government factories were said to be still turning them out. But imtmedi!ately after MoMahon's defeat, comnplaints began to be rife that'Frnnoe was short not only of chassepots but of every kind. The Frenuh commtidsariat is worse, if pussible, than anj other branch of the service, if we may be. lieve a tithe of the statements made by correspondents. MeMahon's army wJs repres.nted to be almost sta-v ing for some days, and that, too, in a re gion in easy coml)muniention with the ,pital. All these deficiencies and weaknerses in the French army, dis closed by the light of events, ustonish those who believe tha', since 1866, France has been making unremitting efforts for a war with Prussia. Either she has had no serious intention of lighting Prussia in tll that time, or the Empe.ror has been grossly duped by his favorites, who hr.vo deluded him into the belief that France was prep:ired "to confront every eventuali ty" (to quote from his rpeech to the bodies of State, January 18, I869,) and have profited by his credulity to a mass fortuties.-JIurtnalof Cwnmerce.

Do the podpfe'oof the South really enter tain fears that a Republican ad minis. tration would, directly or indirectly, in terfero with-the slave, or with them about the slaves? If they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, hope, not an enemy, that lhre is no eause for such fe irs. The South would ho in no more danger in this retpect than it was in the days of Washington. I suppose, however, this does not meet the case.
