Prime Napoleon has written to the Minister of
the Interior to complain that in a communicated
note addressed to the Union yesterday, his (the
Prince's) name is mentioned as if the communique
was made on his behalf or with his approval. His
well known opinions in regard to the liberty of the
prose justify his astonishment at the use made of
his name in this instanoe. The purport of the
communiquE in question was to stigmatise as
"entirely false" the news given by the Union,
that Prince Napoleon's first reception of the season
was held on Jan. 21. In all this there is a pretty
little comedy. January 21 is the anniversary of
the execution of Louis XVI., and the object of the
Union was to throw odium upon the Napoleonic
dynasty by propagating in the Faubourg St. Oar
main the news that a sort of sacrilege had been
committed. The French government, on the
other hand, which scrupulously avoids the gra-
tuitous desecration of any anniversary of the kind,
wished to repudiate the imputation, and at the
same time infer the malice of the Bourbon prints.
But Prince Napoleon, who claims to be the prin-
cipal party concerned, does not choose to say whe-
ther he had a party that day or not,'pnly he objects
to have it thought that he sanctions the present
system of drilling and harassing the press.
