THE FEELING IN NEW YORK. sy y for the Royal Sufferer—Wow the Nows was Received in the American Metropolie—Speculations, Comments and The precarious condition of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales made an absorbing topic of conversation in the city yesterday, Various rumors to the effect that he had passed from life were freely circulated and generally credited, since the Publication of the cable despatches in the morning intimated in unmistakable terms, it was thought, the nopelessness of his recovery, The an-+ nouncement on the bulletia boards of the news- paper offices, setting forth the latest intelligence as to his state, were attentively read by large crowds, anda great deal of public interest Was manifested on the subject of his condition, A feeling of sympathy prevailed throughout the city and many calied to mind the form anu features of the young Prince who, in 1860, received such a very cordial and entnustastic reception on the occasion of his tour through Canada and the United states, During his stay in this metropolis the Prince of Wales created quite a favorable impression among Qlarge portion of the community by his agreeable and unobtrusive manner, ana the sad news of his APPROACHING DISSOLUTION in the very prime of life caused much regret. With his foibles the people seemed to be entirely un- interested, and a reaction of popular feeling set in. It was acknowledged that for some years past the Prince had become more inclined to the pursuit of Pleasure than was generally relished by the English people; for it was thought that in giving himseif up to riotous living and seifsh enjoyment the dignity Of the throne to which he is the heir would not be sustained in his coming reign; but that he pos- sessed many commendable personal character- istics was recognized also, and numerous in- stances of his generosity, frankuess and affection contributed to render him popular among a large class of our people, despite the repetition of the scandals which rumor has associated with his name. Now that his death was thought to be rapidly ap- proaching there was aroused a considerable amount of sympathy. The circumstances of the case awa- kened the better feelings of human nature, and some—formerly the loudest in thelr denunciations of bis career—toned down and joined in the general feeling of regret. In New York the sentiments of the community were naturaily of a very diversifiea character. For instance, the feeling on ’Change was exceedingly different from that entertained elsewhere in the city. Many cable despatches were received there, buf up to three o'clock P, M. nothing of a positive nature wa3 known, although an announcement of his death was momentarily ex- pected, and tue news of that event would not have surprised anybody. Numerous inquiries were made at the office of the British Consul, but nothing more definite than the information contained 1n the pews. paper bulletins could be obtained there, The situation, generally, gave rise to much com. ment and speculation, and, in the event of the Prince’s death, the future of the Engitsh throne formed a ferthe subject of discussion in the city. It was rendered the inore teresting to those who conversed upon the matter in view of the pre- sent political aspect of affaira abroad. The recent republican demonstrations in England were fully weighed and taiked over, and not a fow were of opinion that a serious crisis would arise in the history of Great Britain. It seems to be the impres- sion that, while an attempt might be made to break the continuity of the royal succession, the throne of England was too firmly seated ani tov fondly cherisned Inthe hearts of the people to be endan- gered. The Prince of Wales, it was said, has haa six children. The eldest, Albert Victor, born in 1864, {s heir apparant after his father’s death, and the question of a regency and its effect upon the fnallsh people is the grand point for Consideration. Whether the Queen would be able to rally and re- assume her wonted position and responsibiuties also formed a fruitful source of debate. It was meneraily conceded, however, that the succession would continue, though many strange events might happen during a long minority. These and other kindred topics élicited much general observation. When the news arrived that the Prince was fast sinking the feeling throughout the meiropolis was sympathetic and regretful, and, while there was & large class, perhaps, indifferent to the issue, thought- ful persons, forseeing the disturbances that might arise in England, and reflecting on the eutire sur- roundings of the melancholy event could not help appreciating the situation as it stood, Towards evening a fresh announcement as to the condition of the Prince did not vary iuch In the general character from those which had been for- warded by cable during the day—a fact which beld the community in a state of anxiety until a late hour of the night.

The following special despatch to the HERALD has been received from our correspondent in the French capital :— Panis, Dec, 9, 1871. A change in the government of France is imminent, M. Thiers will relinquish the Presidency in favor of the Duke d’Aumale. President Thiers has agreed to this executive movement with the Duke, and all the influential members of the Right approve of it. The Princes will not take their seats in the Legislature until the plan is carried out, and they will effect the change directly when the details are all arranged. POLIOY OF THE PARTIES. The immediate cause of the arrangement is M. Thiers’ inability to withstand the political power of the Right, which has returned rep- resentatives from the provinces who are very hostile to his administration, coupled with bis fear, which is constantly increasing, that the imperialists may prevail with the army. The Duke d’Aumale, who is in all respects a true son of his father, once seated in the place of power may attempt to cheat the Count de Paris of his right. IMPERIALISM IN THE ARMY.

Excitement over the Threatened Impeack- mont of the President. ‘The exposure im to-day HERALD of the plain afoot to effect the impeachment of the President, is as might be expected, the sensation of the night in Washinton. There was at first but little belief in the story or the movement, but the active inquiry that has gone on all the evening, and the carefut canvassing of tne situation that has followed the second reading of the articte, bas led to admissions, cheerful or reluctant as the party feeling of the readers dictated, that there might be some- thing in it after all, and that netcher the matter was as baseless or the movement ay Qu'xolic as at first appeared. While none of the politicians suspected, or regarded as likely ta be concerned im the plot, confess to any personal part in It, some of them go so lar a3 to own that they have heard something of the sort from other parties, but had not “as yet pala much attention to it. The democratic Congressmen who nave been seen to-night raise no doubts of the ability of any well prepared schedule of charges against the President to command over 110 votes, but they fear that party pressure will be almost too strong to ga'n the twenty-five or thirty republican votes necessary to carry the articles of impeachment Hefore the Senate, Civil Service Reiorm—The Fight tor Office Under the Now Regime. Considerable anxiety 13 manifested in a quiet way, especially among representatives from close republican districts, with regard to the promised report of the Civil Service Commission. Stringent restrictions have been laid upon the members of the Commussion not to hint tn way way the nature of the recommendations they will submit, yet enough has got out in the mysterious way such ieakages occur to make it quite certain that the plaw they propose does not, in ihe estimation of tho frame,s, require any additional legislation to put it into effect.
