      FRANCE . ( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT . ) Paris , November 9 . t \ The farce proceeds gaily . Events hurry us quickly on to the Empire as if the Empire were the most natural thing in the world . Yet Lw ' friffhtfully unnatural all this parody of the past really is , must be evidentto everyone but the blind gamblers of the Bourse , who judge the merits of all things by the price of the public funds . The following Presidential Message was read "b y M . Fould in the Senate on Thursday : —

      " Senators , —The nation has clearly manifested its wish for the re-establishment of the empire . Confident in your patriotism and your intelligence , I have convoked you for the purpose of legally 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 he 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 , and 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 37 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 without mating victims , without threatening an independence , and without trou-Ming 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 Napoleon ; 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 , vfill herself crown me . ( Signed ) Louis Napoleon . Given at the Palace of St . Cloud , Nov . 4 , 1852 .

      " Greeted with immense and unanimous applause , " says the Moni ~ icur I 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 Comulium 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 toothers of the Emperor Napo % on I . The forms and conditions of such adoption shall he regulated by a Senatus Considtum . If , at a period posterior to such adoption , Louis Napoleon should happen to have male children , the adopted sons cannot he called to the throne until after the natural and legitimate descendants . Art . 4 . In default of any natural and legitimate heir , or of any adop fed 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 defeanlt of any natural and ligitimate or adopted heir of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , and in default of any natural and legitimate heir of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte and his male descendants , an organic Senattis Considtum , 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 acceptanee , shall name the Emperor , and regulate in his family the order of succession from mala 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 are to form a council of government , and to delibeiate 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 descendants of both sexes , form part of the imperial family . A Senatus Consultuvi will regulate their position . They cannot many without the consent of the emperor , and their marriage , contracted without such authorisation , involves the privation of all claim 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 in arriage , when brought to an end by death , theprince who had contracted it recovers his rights to the succession . Louis Napoleon Bonapai'te fixes tft titles and the position of the other members of his family . He regulates their duties and obligations by statutes which shall have thevforce of law .

      Art . 7 . The Constitution of January 14 , 1852 , is maintained in all the enactments which are not contrary to the present Senatus Considtum , and modifications can be made in it except in the forms and by the means provided for the purpose . Art . S . The following proposition shall be submitted to the people for acceptance iu the forms determined by the decrees of the 2 nd and 4 th of December , IS 51 : — "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 Consultant 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 Senatus Consulium was signed by 86 out of 87 Senators , and after the sitting , the Senators and Cardinals dressed iu their livery , proceeded to lay their Senatus Consulium at the feet of their master . Yesterday the Moniteur published two decrees , the one convoking the freneh people in its Oomitia on the 21 st and 23 rd of the present month , to vote oui or non on the Senatus Consulium , 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 granting 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 sanie subject . But the cunning bandit of the Elysee , has his uncle and cousin letelunder his thumbso that they must sing small .

      t been long in disclosing the' cloven foot , and making apparent that the " liberalism" and " moderation" of which they have boasted , was but servility and treason—servility towards foreign tyrants and treason towards the liberties of Bel gium . They . have brought forward their ' . ' project of law , " for the suppression of the liberty of the press , and have 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 fi \ , and may be deprived , for a space of time not less than two or exceeding five years , of the rights mentioned in the 42 nd Article of the Penal Code . Art . 2 . None may allege as excuse or justification that theafe writings are but the re-production of foreign publications .

      Art . 8 . 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 ] WOCCS . Art . 4 . The mode of procedure prescribed by articles 4 , 5 , and 6 of the law of the 27 th of March , 1847 , will be followed in the repression of offences , provided for by the present law . Article 6 of ( he law of the 15 th of May is applicable to the same offences . Art . 5 . Proceedings must he 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 denounced 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 jour country . But will he succeed in England ? 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 iu 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 Koman 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 . "

      Piedhojst . —The Piedmontese Gazette of the 5 th inst . announces that the king had definitively composed his Cabinet as follows : M . Cainillus Cavour , President of the Council and Minister of Finance ;< General Dabormida , Minister of Foreign Affairs ; M . Ponza di San Martino , of the interior ; M . Cibrario , of Public Instruction ; General La Marmora , of War and Marine ; M . Boneombagni , of Grace and Justice ; and M . Polleoccapa , of Public Works . The Italia e Popolo , the organ of the republican party , published at Turin , was seized by order of the public prosecutor on the 4 th .

      Tuscany . —In the sitting of the 30 th ult . of the Boyal 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 Nicolini , who described themselves as agents of the government , and nevertheless indulged in expressing republican sentiments . Cross-questioned by Guerrazzi , witness said he could not tell whether those persons were really agents of the government or not , but that they gave themselves out for such . In the sitting of the Chamber of

      Deputies of the 8 th of February , 1848 , witness did not remark whether Guerrazzi showed himself hostile to Nicolini , as the latter had driven witness close to the window , and threatened to throw him out of it if he did not instantly accept the plebiscite proclaiming the republic . Witness , however , recollected having heard Guerrazzi often declaim against those who wanted to lead the Chamber to hasty conclusions . Petracchi , one of the defendants , then rose , and explained that he was among the persons alluded to by M . Corbani , and that he had gone to Siena with several others , after asking Guerrazzi , then minister , for permission to do so , in order to pacify the parties then radiio- in that

      town . —MGiulio Massom , an attorney ' s clerk , deposed that he was the person who brought Montanelli the letter ; left by the Graud Duke on the day of his flight . According to witness , Siena was faithful to the Grand Duke , jmd very peaceably disposed , until Montanelli came to throw all mto disorder . Luigi Eicci , Montanelli ' s cook , deposed to the same effect but only from hearsay . Other witnesses were called to prove that the arrival of Montanelli was the cause of the Grand Duke ' s flight ; but they could only testify as to rumours current at the time ; and Guerrazzi and his counsel observed that cooks , tailors and joiners were not fit persons to bear witness as to the political opinion of the town . The depositions of the following : witness related to tihP

      events ot * eb . 7 , ( the day of the flight of the Grand Duke ) , and to the part which Montanelli , Pantanelli , and other republicans played on that occasion . The counsel for the defence observed to the court that flJ ^ Sr * S T \* ° v ° *' mmours not of to * ^ own to them personally . Hie court adjourned to the 3 rd

      mome . Co quently they do not relax their efforts to procure funds , and theT of voluntary subscriptions remain open , until Abbas Pasha dyes v answer to the demand of two years ! tribute . It is hoped iu that to be able to arrive at the object / which is in view . M . DjezaerlU ? Farmer-General and Director of the Customs , has been arrested \ ? all his property placed under sequestration . This measure was « cided on in an Extraordinary Council of Ministers , and carried it execution the same evening His deficit is calculated at 80 000 ona piastres ( 20 , 000 , 000 francs ) , of which one-fourth is guaran teed . It the same sitting a commission was named , to examine the custom * accounts . It it feared that this examination will bring to light'J ^ matters against farmer Ministers , and , in particular , against K J ? Pasha , who was cognizant of all his operations . It is said that V * Porte intends having the administration of Nafiz Pasha inYesticratPiT ,

      What g ives some consistency to tnis rumour is the tact that the Si 1 tan has refused to accept the 400 , 000 piastres which that persom offered as a voluntary g ift . Our correspondent speaks of the serio disturbances which . havebroken out in Syria among the Druses of t \ Haouran , relative to the Conscription , which they refuse to consen After tome skirmishes between the insurgents and the IninorM troops , the Seraskier Mehemet All was preparing to march aiai t the former with 14 ^ 000 men and 30 pieces of canon . Another « n affair is that which Ahmed Effendi , the Turkish Ambassador at d Court of Persia , has occasioned at Teheran . On his arrival in t ] 5 city , the ambassador displayed from his hotel a Turkish flag , wit ] , n inscription insulting to the Persian religion . The gratuitous insult caused great indignation , and the Shah enjoined his Charge d'Affaire at Constantinople to display in bis turn , the Persian flag , the mscviv tion on which is a great insult to the Mahometans . This affair lv

      caused great agitation among the . Mussulman population , and all -a ] are acquainted with their fanaticism dread the excesses to which it may lead . All the clergy is in movement . The Porte , iu auswer t the observations of the Foreign Powers on the imprudent conduct of its Ambassador in Persia , replied that Ahmed Effendi acted of hi own accord , and in direct opposition to the instructions gi 7 en ]^ j ? was rumoured that Ahmed Effendi was recalled , and that Kami Effendi , Inspector-General of Public Instruction , was to take hie place . A violent conflagration had taken place two nip-hts before at Galata , and burnt down between 500 and 600 houses "

      UNITED STATES . ( from our own corresponden t . ) New York , October , 26 th . The hand of death has withdrawn Mr . Webster from the Presidential contest . Thus , has another of America ' s great statesmen gone , at the very time his mi ghty intellect was most needed . Mr . Webster died at his residence , at Marshfield , on Sunday mornino- 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 inconsistent support of the Fugitive Slave Law . Probably , however , that course was dictated more by a desire to prevent a break up of the 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 in his success , _ The Hon . Horace Mann of Boston , who had been accused of being in the interest of Scott , addressed a large free-soil meeting at Newton , on Thursday night , he declared that no honest free-soiler could vote

      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 admonition 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 candicate ' s 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 .

      After Kossuth left here , some of his enemies endeavoured to palm off upon the public an absurd falsehood , relative to the money obtained by him in America , which , they said , reached a great amount , and on which he was reported to be living luxuriously in London . The Boston Commonwealth thus replies to the foul aspersion : — / i ^ aa this ° PP ° rtunity ° f stating , from positive knowledge , that of the 90 , 000 or 100 , 000 dollars which Kossuth collected in this country , hardly a dollar crossed the Atlantic with him . He expended it in this country m purchasing and making munitions of warby the

      ma-, nufacture of which he gave employment to a large number of his destitute countrymen . He had for months nearly a hundred of them employed m making cartridges alone He also expended it in carrying on a most extensive and costly correspondence with his agents in Europe , transmitting , of course , his letters by private messengers , who went at the risk of their lives , and had to be paid proportionably , and who , of course , had to be amply furnished with money for emergencies letter

      . Every which Kossuth sent to Hungary cost him on an average 500 dollars . The money that he raised here was of course easily absorbed by these expenditures , and with it , as we know , was spent , a considerable sum belonging to his wife , which her relatives in Hungary sent to her for her own use , but which she gave to her hus-• 70 ? i i CaUSe" Kossutu left America pennyless and in debt , as m lb 49 he left Hungary , after two years' administration of the treasury of that rich kingdom .
