The Pall Mall Gazette of July 19th published a letter
from a Paris correspondent who professes to give details of a fresh plot to upset the Republic. The three parties who wish for a Caesar—that is, the Monarchists, the Bonapartista, and the party of M. Deroulede—have resolved, he says, on fusion, and have fixed on Prince Louis Napoleon, second son of . Prince Jerome, as their candidate. This Prince, now a Colonel in the Russian Service, is high in favour with the Czar, and will on September 14th be created General. That date, therefore, is chosen for a " demonstration " in all the towns of France which will bring his name before the people, and lead, it is supposed, to a kind of pronunciamiento in the Army. The funds for the demonstration tave..been„ accumulated at Brussels, and many high functionaries are said to be in the conspiracy, which as yet is unknown to the French Government.- The story reads to us rather Wrouledish, and we cannot see the use of the demonstration; but it is in our judgment true, as we have argued elsewhere, that the Monarchical candidates are being driven by events into a fusion, and that Prince Louis Napoleon is the only probable candidate. He is the dark horse of French politics, but his chance, if it ever arrives, will hardly be just yet.
