THE COUNT OF PARIS AND THE LATE PRESIDENT
LINCOLN.—The following is a translation of a letter
addressed by the Count de Paris to Mr. Sumner, relative to
the death of President Lincoln :—"You were at the death-
bed of the good man so cruelly snatched from the affec-
tion and confidence of a great nation in the fatal night of
the 14th April; you received the last sigh of him in whom
all the friends of America saw the worthy representative of
its free institutions. You will, then, understand why I ad-
dress myself to you to-day, and why, after having read
the sad details of this frightful tragedy, I want to speak to
you of my profound emotion, of my deep grief. I would
not pretend to mingle my voice with all the testimonies of
sincere sympathy which Europe is unanimous in offering
to your citizens if the personal relations which I had with
Mr. Lincoln, and which will henceforth be one of the most
precious recollections of my youth, did not add in my case
to the greatness of this public calamity. My brother and I
shall always recall with gratitude the manner in which he
received us, four years ago, in the Federal army, the oppor-
tunity which he then offered to us of serving a cause to
which we were attached by our family traditions, oursym-
pathies as Frenchmen, and our political convictions.
Those who knew Mr. Lincoln in those times of trial, in
which everything seemed to conspire against the safety of
the Republic, will not forget the simple and serious coun-
tenance of the honest man who, without personal arabi-
tion, ever sustained by the profound sentiment of his du-
ties, merited the enviable title of great citizen. And when
the terrible crisis, during which the destinies of America
were in his hands, shall belong to history, and the bloody
trace of it shall have been effaced by the rapid develop-
ment of a reinvigorated nation and a regenerated society,
men will remember the benefits which have survived him,
of slavery destroyed and liberal institutions preserved, and
do honour to Mr. Lincoln. In the contest against slavery
his name will remain illustrious by those of the indefati-
gable apostles who fought before him and who will finish
his work. But it will be said of him that he assured the
maintenance of the Union, and passed through civil war
without departing from the respect due to liberty and
legality; and that in the hour of danger he was the first
magistrate of a people prompt to recognise in the full exer-
cise of the largest liberty the inexhaustible source of the
national energy and perseverance. Pardon me, Sir, this
letter, a little too long, perhaps, but inspired, as you know,
by sentiments which fill my heart, and believe he, I pray
you, affectionately yours, LOUIS PHILIPPE D'ORLEANS."
A Paris correspondent of the Journal de Oenve
says that within the last few days Prince Napoleon,
according to the statements of his friends at the Palais
Royal and Meudon, " has returned to better sentiments,
and that, instead of wishing to brave the Emperor, he i
prepared to recognise the fault he has committed. He
persists nevertheless in his resignation of the vice-presi-
dency of the Privy Council (which assuredly no one will
object to), but ha will retain his functions as President o
the Universal Exhibition. The resolution is all the more
proper, inasmuch as the Prince of .Wales, as president of
the English Commission, would be forced to resign if
Prince Napoleon did not again place himself at the head of
the French Commission, the Print of W ales being unable
to act on terms of equality except with a member of the
imperial family.
M. Landau, who represents at Turin the house of
Rothschild of Paris, paid on the Ist June into the offices of
the Treasury, on behalf of the Railway Company of Upper
Italy, a sum of 25 millions, as the first instalment of the
purchase money of the State railways.
