Rumours have also been circulated of two political combina- tions

for putting an end to the war. The fist, the election of the King of Belgium to the throne of France, though possible, is sur- rounded with difficulties ; while the second, the restoration Of the Imperial regime is, we, believe, impossible. We have shown rea- sons for this belief elsewhere, but we may add here, that in spite of that detestable letter in La Situation, subsequently denied, but wonderfully vraisemblant, we cannot conceive of Napoleon as a Prussian Prefect, while the Empress still refuses to partition France. She adheres, we are told, in spite of the positive state- ments in the Times, to her resolution to engage in no intrigues whatever.
