PARIS, Su:gnat EVZNING.
The news which I sent you yesterday of the split,
in the Bonaparte family is the talk of all Paris to-
day, although not one of the journals has dared
to print • word upon so delicate a sub-
Ject. I am given to understand that when
erome went to St. Cloud yesterday to remonstrate
against the decision of the Committee of the Senate;
he was accompanied by his son Napoleon, and that
both were received by the President with the
warmest demonstrations of cordiality. Louis Napo-
leon threw the whole responsibility of the rejection
of Jerome's pretensions to took as heir apparent
to the tbrone, upon the Senate. But he informed his
uncle and cousin in explicit terms that however much
he should have been personally rejoiced had the Se-
nate felt justified in coming to another conclusion,
his respect for tho constitutional attributes of that
auguet body was too great to allow him to interfere
with their resolution. He attempted to appease the
anger of Jerome and his son by representing that the
recent oonnexion of Napoleon Bonaparte with the re-
publican party was a very natural reason for want of
confidence in bim at present; but that after
ho should have appeared for sometime in
his proper place as a faithful prince of the
blood, this •distrust would wear off, and that
he, for his own part, would take care, in exercising
the power that would be conferred upon him of
adopting a heir, not to exclude Napoleon Bona-
parte from the line of succession according
to the order of primogeniture, provided nothing
in the future conduct of big cousin should make it in-
cumbent upon him to do so with a view to the safety
of the state. lam not aware what weight these ar-
guments may have had with the affronted princes,
nor whether Jerome will be induced to withdraw
the resignation of the chair of the Senate,
and the governorship of the Invalides, which
he has undoubtedly tendered. He must know that
his resignation would be an event of no political
importance. The President is for the moment
strong enough to treat him or any other mu-
tinous member of his family with indifference.
But there are many reasons with a view to
the future why Louis Napoleon should wish
not to discourage the lineal claims to the heirship of
the crown at any branch of the imperial race.
Although he is now borne to power as an elective
monarch upon the shoulders of the populace, the time
may come when he may be glad to rely less upon
the elective and more upon the hereditary
principle. Although the other Bona,partist
princes have hitherto been insiguifloant it might be
dangerous to place one of them in the position of a
preteeder who was avowedly discarded on account of
his sympathy with democracy. The President may
therefore be expected to maintain as far as possible a
conciliatory course of action towards every member
of his family. I understand that his marriage with
the Princess Wasa is more than ever considered as a
settled thing. I am assured, by • person who has
seen them, that medals to commemorate this alliance
have been already struck.
The Senate met to day, notwithstanding the re-
spect for the Sabbath, which has lately been so
much paraded by the government. I ,believe they
have gone to St. Cloud this afternoon to present the
senates eotuuliam to tho President.

Abd-el•Kader yesterday paid a visit to the national
printing office. lie was received by the director,
M. de Saint-Georges, who showed him over the
whole establishment. As • *specimen of French
printing M. do Saint-Georges presented to Abd-el-
Yoder a French and Algerian grammar, and also the
following lines, addressed to the Emir in Arabic,
printed upon silk :
Praise be to the only God!
The most respectable Bnerif and most honourable Emir,
the pilgrim Abd-01-Kader (may God prolong his days and
scatter joy mewl his life), ham hot:oared the national French
prlatimt establishment with his fortunate visit.
The Gth of November, 1852, of the Messiah
(which answers to the 6th Moharrem,
1269, of the Hojira).
The Emir afterwards went to see the printing en-
gins at work, and was not little astonished to wit-
ness his own speech to the President at St. Cloud
being thrown off by thousands in the Arabic lan-
gasp, foe the purpose (as was explained to him) of
being placarded throughout Algeria. After leaving
the national printing office, Abd-el-Kader visited the
Bibliothdque Royale, whore he inspected with much
interest the collection of medals and ancient manu-
scripts. 'A manuscript of the Koran, and a manu-
script traduction of Aristotle into Arabic, particularly
attracted his attention.

I find my surmise that there could be no truth in
the report that M. Lamartine was about to accept
the post of a senator confirmed by the following let-
ter from himself, addressed to the &ccle of this
morning :
You the, upon the authority of the loodepeniase• Belga,
my name among those of the political men anout to be called
to the Senate under the new government. In the Interest
of troth allow me to contradict a report which has not and
could not hove any foundation. A. nn LAMAIMNIR
Saint Point, Nov. 4, 1852.

General Cavaignac, and Louis Napoleon's first Mi-
nister of the Interior after December 10th, has in-
