the Assembly, the latter regulating the mode of
transmission to the journals, but the ordinary
papers of the day mention no more than the pro-
positions discussed with the votes ; therefore a
member may, with leave of the house, publish his
speech at his cost, but violation of this rule would
bring on a member and printer fines of from 500 f:
to 5,000 f. The dotation of the Corps Legislatif
is, like that of the Senate, to be charged on the
budget.
The funeral of General Duvivier, member of the
Legislative Body, took place on Thursday at one
o'clock, in the church of Saint Thomas d'Adquin.
Two companies of the 33d regiment of the line pre-
ceded the hearse, and a battalion of the 19th Light
Infantry brought up the procession. Marshal
Magnan, M. Billault, President of the Legislative
Body, General Levasseur, and a relative of the
deceased, held the corners of the pall. When the
funeral service was over, the body was taken to
Pere Lechaise, where military honours were paid
to it over the grave.
The following letter is published in the Debats :
"In speaking of the Bonaparte family and the re-
18
port of M. Troplong, who has divided the same 20
family into two categories, you make a division, 25
and, alluding to the children of Jerome and Lu-
cien, you say that these two brothers contracted a 25
first marriage, which had not been authorised by 2sts
Napoleon, and that, consequently, the issue of 50
those marriages could not be adopted, or form part
of the Imperial family. Thus, you say, are excluded St,
Princess Charlotte Bonaparte, daughter of Lucien, St
the widow of the Roman prince Gabrielli, &c., &c.
Permit me, sir, to correct this error. In the first
place, the marriage of Lucien with his first wife,
Christine Boyer of Marseilles, took place long be-
fore the Empire. Madame Lucien died when under
20 years of age long before the Empire, consequently
the Emperor could not make any law relative to
that marriage. Napoleon besides would not have
made such a law, for everybody knows that he had
great affection for Madame Lucien Bonaparte, and,
to ' give you a convincing proof of it, Charlotte
Bonaparte, her daughter and my wife, was called 20
from Italy, where she was with her father, by Na- 11
poleon, who caused her to come to Paris, in 1810, 10
with the intention of marrying her to Ferdinand St,
VII., afterwards King of Spain. This shows clearly ,v§t.
h
that Napoleon recognised the children of the first
0
1
marriage of Lucien. You see also, sir, that my st.
wife is no longer a widow, having been married to -50
me these 12 years, and that I have a right to be 40
comprised among the members of the Bonaparte 25
g
family. SEPTI/10 CENTAMOR.

We have journals and correspondence from Ma- IZB
drid of the 28th ult. A magnificent ball was given St.
on the 26th by the Queen mother, at which the 25
Queen was present, and danced several times. At 50
the ball of the Queen Mother, the Queen Isabella 20
had for her partner in the first quadrille, General
St.
Aupick, Ambassador of France, during which her 15
Majesty was most graciously pleased to speak in 50
'the' most flattering terms of the Emperor Napoleon st.
MI. General Aupick expressed himself deeply 16
sensible of such distinguished marks of her 1g
Majesty's approbation conferred upon the Sovereign 8
of France. 20
It is thought that the electoral committee of the 20
opposition will soon come to an understanding with 10
the Administration, and accept some slight altera-
tions in the constitution. A project of law, regu- st.
lating the liberty of the press, is daily expected I st.
be published. st.

The Cabinet is perfectly united. No modification St.
is noiv even spoken of.
