A WOMAN'S JUDGMENT.-General Tro olin, in- his speech before thu National Assembly of Franco, narrating the events which lod to tho-.ovoi throw of tho Em? peror Napole?n", speaks iii high terms of tho firmness, courage and'ability of tim Empress Eugenie. Had it net been for, brr tho Emperor would have gone tb Paris nf 1er he hud surrendered the o'jin mand of the. army to Marshal Bax, due, and would probably have loet bis lifo in the catastrophe whu-h ensued, and vi li ich his preseuce could not have preven bul, but might have hastened. Tho Empress, upon being notified pf her husband's iu tention to return to Paris, said: "Gen 'cral, only tho Emperor's enemies could have urged on him this return to Paris. Ho would not reach the Tu?llvries ulive. No, General, tho Emperor, shall not come to Pari*; he Khali remain at Chalons." At Chalons he did romain until there happened the crushing blow nt Sedan.
