The Paris correspondent of an Eastcrn papor writes : " Emile OllLvier is beginning to loarn that he has been a mere cat's paw in the Iirperial hands. He was taken to avert a daneerous crisis, and now that the Plebiscite has strenglhened, not the parliamentary but the personal government, the unfortunate statesman finds that ho has alienated all bis fjrm?r friends, who only gave him a species'jof contemptuous support through fear that his successor in the cabinet might be M. Itouher. And the Bonaparlists are ouly prevented by the Emperor hiniself frora turnning out, by a vote of censure, this absurd protege of Prinee Napoleon, as his Maje.ty belieTOs in the proverb of certain men hanging themselves if they get enough rope. Ollivier's oppositioo might have been dangerous at oue time, but sinco he has shown hioiself more arbitrary than the aovere'gn, particularly in the case of indictmcnt in the assaasination plot, where a number of billa have been thrown out although opprovod by tbc Minrater of Justice, be will be disavowed and displaced, as his enuiity would be less comprouiising to tho dynatty thao bis frieudhip.''
