PARIS, SUNDA! EVIWINO.

The Prince do Is Moskows, the son of Marshal
Ney, died yesterday at St. Germain, of a nervous
affection from which he has long been suffering.
Napoleon Ney, Prince de la Moskowa, was born in
1803. In 1828 he married the daughter of M.
Jaques Lafitte. The prominent political position
which Ney's son enjoyed under successive regimes
was due much more to his name than his tastes or
peculiar talents. He was a dilettante in arts, litera-
ture, and music, and contributed more than perhaps
any other man to the introduction into the French
language of the word sport from England. He
once composed an opera called Rigine, which is not
now very well known. Ho war an old contributor
to the Revue des Deus Mendes, in which he wrote
articles on the Cowes Regattas and several
narratives of voyages and travels. In the
Conititutionnel he wrote *evertl papers on
racing, and the amelioration of the eAualine race.
At a later period he contributed articles, slightly
tinged with socialism, to the Republique. He was
the owner of several racehorses, where names were
once well known on the French turf Matilda,
Angleeca, and Counterpart gained prizes in 1834.
The prince and his brother, M. Edgar Ney, were
often their own jockeys. On one occasion, when
riding a steeplechase upon Counterpart, the prince,
then a captain in the sth Humus, was thrown, and
narrowly escaped with his life. He was one of the
fourteen original members of the Paris Jockey
and was for a long time • member of the racing
committee. His political career commenced under
Louis Philippe, who, on the 19th November,
1831, created him a peer of France. To a re,
preach addressed to him for sitting among the
peers who eenderesed his father, be replied that
he only acesphed the peerage in order to be in a
better position te dessand justice to his father's me-
mory. He lid set tab Ms seat till 1837, and then
he joined the appeelden. In 1847 Count d'Alton
Sher having iseirhatelly spoken in sharp terms of
the condemisatisa eif Marshal Ney, was called to
enter by the pee Bent, Duke Puquier. The next
day the Prince of Moskowa made a remarkable
speech on the subject. Although ho was rather a
fluent speaker, this speech was so superior to any-
thing ever before heard to proceed from hie lips, that
a report that it was written by M. Guizot obtained
very general credence. In 1848 the Prince de la
Moskowa went the whole hog for democracy. He
belonged to • club that met at the Caft Mulhouse,
called the " Bocietk Democratique Allemande," of
which M. Iferwegh was president. Thu club sent oat
a body of no lea than 1,800 men, who, under the
command of citizens Hecker, Wcizen, and nowhere",
took a leading part in the insurrection in the Grand
Duchy of Baden. On May 30, 1848, this corps
called the Democratic Foreign Legion,was harangued
by the Prince de la Moskowa before its departure.
The prince was elected a member of the legislative
assembly for the departments of the Moselle and the
Eure et Loir in 1849. He attached himself from the
ant to the pretensions of the prince president, and
of course saluted the second empire with enthusiasm.
He was included in tho first creation of senators.
After having been colonel of the Bth Lancers and a
colonel of Dragoons, he was promoted to the rank of
brigadier-general in 1833. At the time of his death
be was not on active service. The Princess de la
Moskowa, from whom he had long been separated,
has gone to St. Germain to pay the last duties to her
husband. M. de Penigny, the French Ambassador
In London, who married tho prince's daughter a few
years ago, is expected in Paris.

A letter from Toulon of the 25th states that
Admiral Lyons' squadron was about to proceed to
Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli.
The Minister of Marine has sent orders to Blest,
to give the most friendly reception to the Austrian
squadron of evolutions, which is expected shortly in
that port.

There is good memo to believe that the French
government in in possession of no other proof in
support of the charge promulgated by the Morsiteur
against M. Ledru Rollin of being an accomplice in
a conspiracy to nessminate the Emperor, than a bill
of exchange, bearing his endorsement, which is sup-
posed to bamboos given to some of the conspirators
