THE PARIS TRAGEDY.
HOMICIDE OF A JOURNALIST BY Plit/NOB
PIERRE BONAPARTE.
PARIS, WEDNittbkr.
All difficulty and diversity as to the origlA of the
Auteuil tragedy are now at an end. The quiarrel was
Immediately between Prince Pierre and M. l'aschal
Grousset, on account of a letter published by the kince
In the Avenir, of Corsica, in reply to certain artioles
of which he had been the object on the part
of the editor of the Revanche, of Bastia. Thig
Letter, like most of the Prince's effusions, was couched in
no measured terms. He speaks of the writers in the
Revanche as infamous Judases, traitors to their country,
whom their own relatives would formerly have thrown into
the sea in a sack. They are two or three nonentities,
who are irritated because they have vainly soli-
oited places. But he consoles himself with
the reflection that Corsica county many brave
lelliers, hardy saiip)rs, and laborious agriculturists,
who abominate such sacrilegious wretches. Then the
Letter goes on to speak of the virtues of Napoleon. "Let
uy leave these vittoli to the disgrace of their treason, and
and let me be permitted to call to mind the saying of an
American diplomatist, who, a propos des ordures que ee;•-
tiios jovraans et pamphlets ont jet", a la colonne, said
that France herself, that great country, is better known
by Napoleon than Napoleon by France. Napolecn only
141 his duty when he placed his genius and his faculties
et the service of France, which has largely recompensed
him by the worship of his memory—a worship of which
the vote of the 10th of December has been the sublime
manifestation. I will say, however, in answer to the
.gnorant and false libellers, that all the military
writers, French or otherwise, agree that France
would have been finally conquered in 1796 but for
Bonaparte." After this ridiculous apothosis of his great
elative, Prince Pierre goes on to once more abuse
,he writers in the Revanche, and to express the hope that
Are Corsicans will have no dealings with them.
There can be little doubt that however perfect masters
of Billingsgate the democratic writers of Paris or Bastia
nay be, the Prince has most successfully rivalled them.
tie has brought himself to their level with perfect
acility. He may be a Prince, but his language is far from
,rincely.
It was this letter which formed the starting point of the
whole affair. M. Paschal Grousset is the founder of the
Revanche of Bastia, besides being a writer for the Marseillaise
Seeing this letter, he sent his two seconds to the Prince,
with the result which you already know. On his part,
aowever, Prince Pierre had been assailed by various arti-
ales in the Marseillaise, which had resulted in the letter
.o M. Rochefort previously quoted by me. Thus
there was a double challenge. M. Paschal
Grousset demanded satisfaction for the Prince's
,etter to the Avenir ; and the Prince challenged Rochefort
.or the articles in the M'arseillaise. There were more
than one of the latter, the most violent appealing on Mon-
lay. It is a disgusting tissue:of abuse, which I will not
weary your readers by quoting. "Ernest Lavigne" is the
writer whose name appears at the foot.
It was easy to perceive yesterday evening that Paris
was under some unusual excitement. There were crowds
on the boulevards, notwithstanding the rain, and in all
;he great thoroughfares there were groups en-
gaged in eager discussion, surrounding every place
where newspapers could be obtained. Comments
were passed on the transactions in the Corps Legislatif, on
,he threatened prosecution of Rochefort, above all on the
details of what is now known as "Le Crime d'Auteuil."
&t Belleville the attitude of the people was the
nest threatening. More than 2,000 workmen assembled
t the Folies-Belleville under the presidency of Gustave
elourens. A number of Radical speakers delivered
ddresses and were vehemently applauded. The walls
were hung with crape, and the meeting did not break up
until nearly eleven. Great crowds assembled outside, and
ecorted the carriage of M. Flourens as far as
the Faubourg du Temple. At Fontainebleau there was
.nother public meeting and considerable agitation. Roche-
,ort arrived about nine o'clock, and was received with
enthusiasm. He invited the crowd to Neuilly, to the
funeral of Victor Noir. A meeting was also
.eld in the Salle Moliere, and a crowd assembled
3utside the office of the Marseillaise. At Neuilly there
gas great excitement, and groups of watchers remained
11 night, for fear that the body should be removed. The
chamber of death was full of spectators, and among them
were workmen who boldly declared their opinions and
wore that they would go with the dead man to the
grave.
The Liherte, in describing the funeral, says that the
'row(' resembled the assemblage on race days. The rain
which fell did not prevent the people from pursuing their
way. Many women were among the crowd, and there
were several ladies dressed in mourning. It was
noticed that not a single scrgent-de-villa was
to he seen in the Champs Elysees. There were
detachments of the Paris guards on duty. The concourse
of people in all the avenues from the Rue du Marche
and towards Neuilly was immense. The number present
on the occasion of the funeral was estimated at
100,000. The editors of the Marseillaise came to tho
house of the deceased at twelve o'clock. M. Rochefort
arrived half an hour later. He was received with loud
sheers and cries of " Vive Rochefort."
At half-past one the brother of Victor Noir came
.n front of the house, and addressed the crowd,
who applauded his remarks. The hour appointed
for the funeral procession to start was half-past two.
The gates of Neuilly and Ternes were guarded
by strong detachments of sergents de vale. Among the
crowd who followed the procession might be noticed the
chief speakers at the public meetings. The sellers of
bouquets immartelles stationed themselves in the road to
Neuilly, and sold their stores in profusion. M. Rochefort
walked at the head of the procession to the cemetery at
Neuilly.
It appears that Victor Salmon was the real name of the
victim at Auteuil, and that he took the name of Noir as
a nom-de-plume. He was only seventeen when he entered
the office of the Epogue. He left it to join the Rappel and
also the Marseillaise. He also assisted in the office of the
Journal de Paris.
An English journalist who was on the point of re-
turning to London, was so anxious to obtain a copy
of the Marseillaise of yesterday that he gave 200 f. for it.
The price which was asked for the number that had been
seized was sf.

The extreme journals, such as the 3farseillaise, the
Rappel, and the Reveil have published most violent
articles. That of the Reveil begins with the words, " After
Pantin comes Auteuil, after Troppmann comes Bona-
parte." The France believes that the sad affair will be
turned to account by political passion. It declares that
all journals anxious for the public welfare should re-echo
the sentiment that prevails on the subject. " People
ask themselves into what sort of a moral and social
state we are now drifting. What they see above all is the
ensemble of the incidents which contributed to give it
such a tragic issue; they see the fact, so contrary to all our
traditions, of an explanation to which all the inter-
locutors came provided with arms, just as if the affair
were an encounter on the least civilised confines of
North America." The Journal des Dibats says that the
inconvenience of exceptional jurisdiction has now be-
come apparent. The prince himself wishes to be tried
before the ordinary courts, but the Emperor is in
favour of submitting the case to the Court of Assizes. The
law is, however, inexorable, and despite the opinion of the
prisoner, the friends of the victim, and the Chief of the
State himself, it is declared necessary to convoke the
High Court of Justice. The love of equality is so
strong in France that anything which militates against
this sentiment becomes odious in the sight
of the people, and those who appear to be honoured by
their exemption from the ordinary tribunals recognise the
danger they are in through their privilege. The
Patrie is very indignant at the remarks which have
been levied against the law which makes the princes of
the Imperial Family amenable to a special tribunal. The
High Court is composed of a jury, judges, and public pro-
secutor, the same as is the Court of Assizes.
The Constitutionnel remarks that Prince Pierre is not a
political personage, and that his opinions estranged him
from the Imperial family more than they united him
with it.
There has been great excitement to-day among the
deputies. There waS a rumour that the crowds which
attended the funeral intended to pass by the Chamber,
and some surprise was felt that no armed force was
to be seen at the Palace. The sitting opened
with the adoption of the ?races verbal without
even a protest. M. Respell asked leave of absence on
account of ill-health, regretting that he was obliged to do
so, as he wished to oppose the prosecution of Rochefort.
This occasioned much laughter. M. Rochefort himself cams
in about five o'clock, and was regarded with much curiosity,
it being currently reported that he intended to resign his
deputyship. He was on his way back from the funeral of
Victor Noir, and was so much agitated, and spoke in such
a manner, that at first it was feared some terrible
disaster had occurred. "It is astonishing," he said,
" that one cannot return from a funeral without
being fired at." It was soon discovered that there had
been no firing. In the Champs Elysees the crowd was so
great that passage was difficult. M. Rochefort and some
friends tried in vain to pass, saying that they were going
to the Chambers. Presently some guards came up, who
beat the drums and summoned the Chasseurs, who
speedily dispersed the crowd, without however using
force, Procantlonarle xneasures have beentaken in several
