PRANCE . ( from oub ows correspondent . ) Paris , November 9 . I { The farce proceeds gaily . Events hurry us quipkly on to the Empire , as if the Empire were the most natural thing in the world . Yet fiow ' fnghtfolly unnatural all this parody of the past really is , must be evident to everyone hut tie blind gamblers of the Bourse , who judge the merits of all things by tie price , of the public funds . The following Presidential Message was read by M . Fould in the Senate on Thursday : —
" Senatora , —The nation has clearly manifested its vrishfor the re-establishment of the empire . Confident in your patriotism and your intelligence , I have convoked you for the purpose oflegally deliberating on that grave question , and of entrusting you with the regulation of the new order of things . If you should adopt it you will think , no doubt as I do , that the constitution of 1852 ought to te maintained , and then the modifications recognised as indispensible will in no way tonch its fundamental basis . The change which is in preparation will bear chiefly on the form , and yet the resumption of the imperial system is for France of immense signification . In fact , in the re-establishment of the empire , the people finds a guarantee for its interests , aud a satisfaction for its just pride . That re-establishment guarantees the interests of the people , by insuring the future , by closing the era of revolutions , and by again consecrating the conquests of ' 89 .
It satisfies its just pride , because in restoring , with liberty and reflection , that which 87 years ago the entire of Europe had overturned by the force of arms , in the midst of the disaster of the country , the people nobly avenges its reverses withont making victims , without threatening an independence , and without trou « bling the peace of the world . ' I do not dissimulate , nevertheless , all that is redoubtable , in at this day accepting and placing on one ' s head the crown of Jfapoleon ; but my apprehensions diminish with the idea that , representing as I do , by so many titles , the cause of the people and the national will , it will be the nation which , in elevating me to the the throne , will herself crown me . ( Signed ) Louis Napoleon . Given at the Palace of St . Cloud , Nov . 4 , 1852 .
" Greeted with immense and unanimous applause , says the Moniteur ! But let us proceed to the next scene . Shortly after the reading of the above precious documents , ten of the Senetoriallacquies presented the following proposition for a Senatus Consultum to modify the " Constitution . " Art . 1 . The Imperial dynasty is re-established . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is Emperor of the French under the the name of Napoleon III . Art . 2 . The Imperial dignity is hereditary in the direct descendants , natural and legitimate , of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , from male to male , by order of primogeniture , and to the perpetual exclusion of the females and their descendants .
Art . 3 . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , should he not have any male child , may adopt the children and descendants , natural and legitimate , in the male branch of the brothers of the Emperor Napoleon I . The forms and conditions of such adoption shall be regulated by a Senatus Consultum , If , at a period posterior to such adoption , Louis Napoleon should happen to have male children , the adopted sons cannot be called to the throne until after the natural and legitimate descendants . Art . 4 . In . default of any natural and legitimate heir , or of any adopted heir of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , the imperial dignity devolves to Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte and his natural and legitimate descendants , the issue ofhis marriage with the Princess Catherine of Wurtemberg , from male to male , iu ' the order of primogeniture , and to the perpetual exclusion of the females and their descendants .
Art . 5 . In defeault of any natural and legitimate or adopted heir of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , and in . default of any natural and legitimate heir , of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte andhis male descendants , an organic Senatus Consultum , proposed to the Senate by the ministers assembled in council , with the adjunction of the presidents , acting as such in the Senate , in the Legislative corps , and in the Council of State , and submitted to the people for aceeptanee , shall name the Emperor , and regulate in his family the order of succession from male to male , to the perpetual exclusion of the females and of their descendants . Up to the moment when the election of the new emperor is terminated , the affairs of the state are to be governed by the ministers then in functions , who ara to form a council of government , and to deliberate by a majority of votes .
^ Art . 6 . The members of the family of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , called by circumstances within the line of succession , and their des cendants of both sexes , form part of the imperial family . A Senatus Consultum will regulate their position . They cannot marry without the consent of the emperor , and their marriage , contracted without such authorisation , involves the privation of ail daim to the succession , both for him who has conteracted it and for his descendants . Nevertheless , should it so happen that th re exists no child from such marriage , when brought to an end by death , theprince who had contracted it recovers his rights to the succession . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte fixes the titles and the position of the other members of his family . He regulates their duties and obligations by statutes which shall have the force of law .
Art . 7 . The Constitution of January 14 , 1852 , is maintained in all the enactments which are not contrary to the present Senatus Consultum , and modificat ions can be made in it except in the forms and by the means provided for the purpose . Art 8 . The following proposition shall be submitted to the people for acceptance in the forms determined by the decrees of the 2 nd and 4 th of December , 1851 : — - "The people desire the re-establishment of the Imperial dignity in the person of Louis NapoleonBonaparte , with the succession in his direct descendants natural and legitimate , or adopted ; and in default of such descendants in the person of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte , as has been regulated by the Senatus Consultum of the day of Nov ., 1852 . "
This was transmitted to the Minister of State , who , on the part of the man ere while " Content to serve France under an humble title , " announced that the " chosen of the people" bore with great fortitude , this new infliction , and offered no opposition to its being considered . Accordingly , a Committee was appointed to examine the proposition and draw up a report upon it . That report has been made . It is said to be from the pen of M . Troplong , who read it in
the Senate on Saturday . It is very lengthy and very stupid ; a mere repetition of the sophisms by which the Bonapartist journals have sought to mystify the people . The Empire , says Mr . Troplong , is to be the Empire of Peace , the revolution of 1789 without its revolutionary ideas" !! No doubt , audit is also to be " religion without intolerance , " equality without the follies of equality , love for the people without socialist charlatanism , and national honour without the calamities of war . " Bravo , logical Troplong !
On Sunday the S&wlus Comultum was signed by 86 out of 87 Senators , and after the sitting , the Senators and Cardinals dressed in their livery , proceeded to lay their . Senates Consultum at the feet of their master . Yesterday the Moniteur published two decrees , the one convokingthe trench people in its Comitia on the 21 st and 23 rd of the present month , to vote oaf or raw on the Senatus Gomultum , the other convoking the Legislative Body for the 24 th . To the « Legislature " is reserved the honours of counting their master ' s forged votes !
By grantmg Louis Bonaparte the right of adoption , the senate has aroused the ire of Jerome and his son Napoleon , and Jerome has accordingly resigned the Presidency of the senate . A petition emanating indirectly from Jerome Bonaparte , has been presented to the Senate , against the adoptive clause , and he and his son , it is said have had a fierce quarrel with the future Emperor on the same subl ject . But the cunning bandit of the Elysee , has his uncle and cousin completely under his thumb , so that they must sing small .

t been long in disclosing the cloven . foot , and making apparenfthat the " liberalism" and " moderation" of which they have boasted , was but servility and treason—servility towards foreign tyrants and treason towards the liberties of Belgium . They have brought forward their " project of law , " for the . suppression of the liberty of the press , and ha ^ e thus early signalised their government by a shameful and unconstitutional concession to Louis ; Bonaparte . The proposition was read in the . Chamber of Representatives yesterday , by M . Faider , Minister of Justice (?) , and is as follows : —
Art . I . "Whoever , by speeches , cries , or menaces in public meetings or , by writings , printed papers , images , or placards , distributed or sold , offered for , sale or exposed to the public view , renders himself guilty of offences towards foreign sovereigns or heads of governments , or wickedly attacks their authority , shall be punished with an imprisonment of from three months to two years , and a fine of from 100 to 2 , 000 fr ., and may be deprived , for a space of time not less than two or exceeding five years , of the rights mentioaed in the 42 nd Article of the Penal Code . Ait . 2 . None may allege as excuse or justification that these writings are but the re-production of foreign publications .
Art . 3 . Proceedings will be taken on the demand of the representatives of those heads of governments who feel themselves outraged ; that demand shall be addressed to the minister of foreign Affairs ; the complaint will not be produced on the trial , " but the ministerial dispatch will be attached to the proces . Art . 4 . The mode of procedure prescribed by articles 4 , 5 , and 6 of the Jaw of the 27 th of March , 1847 , will be followed in the repression of offences , provided for by the present law . Article 6 of the law of the 15 th of May is applicable to the same offences . .
Art . 5 . Proceedings must be taken within three months from the commission of the offence , Art . 6 . The law of the 26 th of September , 1816 , is repealed . By the terms of the Belgian Constitution , this , proposed law is clearly unconstitutional , and as such it is denonnced by all the honest portion of the press this morning . The 18 th Article of the Constitution says : The press is free ; censorship can never be established ; no caution can be exacted from writers , publishers , or printers . When the author is known , and resident in Belgium , the publisher , printer , or distributor cannot be pursued .
A Paris correspondent of the Nation writing on Saturday , states as a , positive fact that Louis Napoleon has decided upon war : If we consider the efforts made for some time past , for the effective armament of the navy , we may suppose that the attack will be directed against England . Louis Napoleon has said : " It is from London the decree annexing Belgium to France shall be dated . " Remember these words ; master of England , by the same blow he will make himself master of your country . But will he succeed in England 1 That is the question .
PRUSSIA . The Chamber will meet , it is believed , on the 29 th , though the day has not yet been definitely fixed . In the gaeat cities the elections are a demonstration against the party who would lead Prussia back to the situation of 1847 . Berlin , Cologne , Breslau , and Halle , send liberal men to the new chambers . M . Champhausen , the former minister , has been elected for Cologne , and declines the seat . M . Wentzel , a prominent member of the left , has been elected by three constituencies . In the provinces the electors have returned a crowd of country gentry , whose votes for the most part will be at the service of the government . The extreme reactionary party has been disappointed at the hustings , as the great majority of the new members will support the constitution against any serious attempted violation under the name of revision .
A " chair of Homoeopathic Medicine is about , it is said , to be established in the University of Berlin . As another medical fact , it may be mentioned that a celebrated German physician is about to publish a scientific condemnation of the present loose sleeves worn by the ladies . He proves that they promote rheumatism and all kinds of complaints , and recommends a return to the long and close sleeves of a former period .
ITALY . Kome . — -The executions at Ancona on the 25 th may be reckoned the most appalling ever witnessed . Only one of the victims out of nine would listen to the priests . The shooting of them was entrusted to a detachment of Roman artillerymen , armed with short carbines , old-fashioned weapons , many of which missed fire , so that at the first discharge some of the prisoners did not fall , but ran off , with the soldiers pursuing and firing at them repeatedly ; others crawled about , and one wretch , after being considered dead , made a violent exertion to get up , rendering a final coup de grace necessary . Other executions are to follow .
Piedmont . —The Piedmontese Gazette of the 5 th inst . announces that the king had definitivel y composed his Cabinet as follows : M . Camillus Cavour , President of the Council and Minister of Finance ; General Dabormida , Minister of Foreign Affairs ; M . Ponza di San Martmo , of the interior ; M . Cibrario , of Public Instruction ; General La Marmora , of War and Marine ; M . Boncombagni , of Grace and Justice ; and M . Polleoccapa , of Public Works .

Tuscany-In the sitting of the 30 th nit . of the Royal Court of Florence , the examination of witnesses in the case of Guerrazzi and others was continued . Professor Corbani , of Seina , late secretary of the Tuscan Chamber of Deputies , deposed that , in December , 1848 he dined at a gentleman ' s table at Seina with several persons , among whom was Nicohm , who described themselves as agents of the govern ?

What gives some consistency to this rumour is the fact that tf c tan has refused to accept the 400 , 000 piastres which that offered as a voluntary gift .

UNITED STATES . ( feoji our own corresponden t . ) New York , October 26 th . The hand of death has withdrawn Mr . Webster from the Presi dential contest . Thus has another of America ' s great statesmen gone , at the very time his mighty intellect was most , needed Mr Webster died at his residence , at Marshfield , on Sunday moraine last ' The disease by which he was cut off is said to have been a cancerous affection of the bowels .
The reputation of Daniel Webster will suffer much in consequence of his mconsistant support of the Fugitive Slave Law . Probably however , that course was dictated more by a / desire to prevent a break up oHhe Union , than any love of our abominable " domestic institution . His death will much contribute to the success of Scott in the coming election . Mr . Fillmore , the present holder of the Presidential office , has given his hearty support to General Scott , and expresses confidence m" his success , v
# The Hon . Horace Mann of Boston , who had been accused of beina m the interest of Scott , addressed a large free-soil meeting at Newton ; on Thursday night , he declared that no honest free-soiler conld vo for either Pierce or Scott , that only Hale represented their opinions , and it was the duty of every free-soiler to vote for him . This admomtioii was wanted , for , I regret to say , many of the free-soil party have looked more to expediency than to principle , and thinking their own candidates case-hopeless , have ranged themselves under the banner of that one of the two dominating factions , which they individually considered to be the worthiest of support .
