Abdication of the King of France.—The correspondent of the New York Union, speaking of the probability of the abdication of the throne by the present King of France, says: "I have heard a whisper to the effect that the King means to abdicate at the close of the present year. The motive of this would be to place the Duc de Nemours in the Regency at once, while his father lived, so that he might govern with the advantage of his father's experience and advice, and thus be regularly trained for the difficult position he is destined to occupy for a number of years. I confess my own belief in the possibility of an abdication for such a purpose. The report has obtained currency and credit in the highest political circles"
