| The Paris correspondent of the New York > | PoST, Teferring to Louis Napoieon and bis f ass*jimptioQ ol lbe impena.l purple, srvys: | At that time none were more serere in 'cbeir (lenun:iations of this upstart than the crowned heads of Europe. Their ancient; batred of the Corsican General, who had j toppled so many of tbeir »ncestors from their • bereditary thrones. waa reinforred by their! ' contempi for the nephew, who, in bis eager- |i 1 ness to seize upon power, bad made two fn-; tile attempts at reroiutions, and had winked at some worst teoets of the Socialists, : in order to curry faror with the mob. They \ • acarcely acknowledged hia gorernment, e?en | ' when it had been nominaliy approved bv the ; pUbisaie t or rote of ihe people; theydis- ! dained to associate w»th him in person, and "i for many years they looked with an eye of i suspicion and ilMaror, if not with open ani-! mosity, upon the policy of tbis intruder into their sacred den.esnes. He was a jackdaw that bad stolen the peōeoek s feathers; a demagogue who was corropting tbe holy | worsbip of legitiinate sovereignty; and a dis- j turber, constantly lhrentening with hw vast armies the peaee ns well as tbe ordtr of Europe. But how changed the scene now. Louis Napoleon, with an adroitness that does honor lo his intellect, is the host of the crowned heads of the continent. The King an<i Queon of the Belgians nre here feted day and night by nll the authorities, and hobnobbing with the £rnperor on endless excursions. The Queen of Portugn| has been here,residing with the Prince Napoleon, and receiving the hospitalities of the Tuileries. The Queen of England, in the person of the Prince of \Vales —future King of England— ■ bas been here, and has been sumpfuously | entert*»oe'j. Next week the Emperor of Kussia i& coming. and the dinnors, the fe?ti-! vals, the Taces, the reviews, the operas that' are pre'paring for him, fill the columns of the j journaJs. When he is gone the King of ! Prussja is coming, with Bismarck and a! shoal. of notabilities from the former German I Sta».es. Then Emanuel, the King of ltaly,! will cross the Alps to grasp Napoleon by the ; h>jnd,and even the Sultan himself, withasuite ! (jf 000 well-bearded and inany-wived Turks,! falls into the royal line, that he may pass ! his respects to the Emperor of the French— \ no more for the nonee Emperor of Europe. | As the Tycoon of Japan is alrrady repre-! sented by his brother, it needs only the Grand | Kahahn of Tnrtary, and the Brother of the j Moon, who presides over the destinies of! China—perhaps one ought to include the | President of the United States among these j distant potentates—to render the triumph i complete. Louis the Fourteenth wns flattered | when a Doge of Venice consented to trend ! the poli«hed floors of his nevvly-built Ver- j sailles ; t!ie rencontre of single monarchs on ! some l'ield of Cloth of Gold is a perpetual | topic of history ; for sovereigns hnve heen | npt to visit eneh otlier only ns conquerors ! and exiles. But here we hr.ve a very V r anity ! Fair of monarchs ; a rendezvous of all the \ Lord's Annointed in the modern Bubylon ; I a \Valpurgis dance of coronets anel stars and titles, and nll the other superfine and high- J sounding artificialities that the lackeyhood of inankind have invented togild overlx\seness, fraud, falsehood and tyranny. The representativeB of the despotic order —old and foul as night—have all eome to grasp the hand and kiss the eheek of the master Moloeh among them ; ofthe prince ofthe infernalest power, of the ski!fullest mechanist of wrong, of the artfullest dissemb.er, the most ruthless ruler of all. They have found that he whom they dreaded fourteen years ago is in spiril and deed, though not in lme ; and lineage, one of themselves; one who believes that the many were made for the gratification and gloiy of the few ; and that the only tme sceptre is the sword, the on!y effective instrument of government ihe bayonet. The Qukbn's Ketirement.—The London Time eomplain?, in a decided though courtecus tone, of the continued privacy of the Queen. Five years' mourning for the Prince | Consort would seein to be about enougb ofj a proper thing; but the Queen, it is intimated by the great journalist of Printing' house Square, is at Balmoral, in seclusion, while she should be at Buckingham Palaee, to*receive the Czar and tbc Kii»g of Prussia, persoually, and before the whole world of her loyal subjects, invest these illusuious visitors with the Order of tbe Garter. The Sultan is also to ha?e the saine honor iconferred upon him; but all, it is said, by proxy or commission. The 14 Queen s letters" »ys the Times t "to Mr. Lineolnand Mr. Peabody, have toucbed tbe hearts of the | American people; her appeal to the Ki«g of | Prussia is believed to bavr had its share in javertioga Eumpean war; and ber prwnpt |expressions of womanly confideoce, eTen j more tban her generous deeds of charicy t ( ha?e brought consolation to ipany a widoued home Uaa. \Vere it possible in these stirring |days for a Queen to withdraw from public life without closing her own constitutional • posi«ion and weakening that of her succes> j (the writer adds,} Queen Victoria might Iwell e'aim that privilege. But this w not |poBsible, aod tbere is no true loyalty in dis*guising the ineritable rrsuks of $uch un experimeot if carried on too long. It wou!d not be safe lo nllow ano(her generation to j grow up rarely, if circr. seeing the facc of

their soTereign, aod ooly knowiog report that she had ooee been tbe ceotre of a bfīl-< !īaot Court, aod mored freely tiDOog ber | people. lt is oot thc ansiocracy and its parasitea, as U so<n€time3 hioted f that voaid soffer by a socia! abdkation. The anstocncv koowe how to take car» of itself, aod ropi inviifttīoos are not the oniy passports »oto g">od society. It is in the interest of the Monarchy iu«lf, aod of the coaotry at targe, that we renture onee roore to express the hope fhat her Majestf will sooo resaaie the piaee whieh not even the heir-apparent ean \ hol(J for her. j SESATOB WIDE WA2TTS Fe*alk Scffiage. | The foiiowing is giren as a fuii repon of| Senator Wade's Kansas speech in favor of ■ female saffftge: Womeo were more virtooos than men ;. their percepctions were quickerand keener, j and when they gained poiitical power they | would rectify many abuses whieh had thus | far remained untouched. Ifhehad not be-l iieved that his own wife had sense enough| lo vote, he never would have married her j [laughter and applause] and if anyofhis> had wives who were unequal to the discharge of the right of suffrage, he wouid advise them to go home and get divorced at onee. [Renewed laughter.] The speaker denounced those women who did not wanti to vote because it was not fashionable, and said that he had a prediction to niake: Femaie suffrage wili be general in less than 20 years, [a voice: " That's to far uff,"J and he thought it !ik»ly that in Kansas the next Legisiature might set the matter straight.
