the utterance of that heroic sentiment NAPOLEON—
at the moment on foot—responded to it by instantly
mounting his horse and plunging into the conflict
where it raged the most fiercely—only, however,
to be dragged from the melee soon afterward by the
hands of his marshals and aides•de-camp. Pre-
vious to the terrible catastrophe, Prince JEROME,
who commanded at Waterloo the left wing
of NAPOLEON'S army, had himself in person
led with heroic valour the renowned charge
upon Hougoument. Even M. DE LAMAR-
TINE (not by any means a Bonapartist) has remarked
thus earnestly while relating the circumstance in
his History of the Revolution—" Being sent by the
EMPEROR at the head of a column, JEROME braved
fire and death with the devoted gallantry of a
simple grenadier." The rest of this romantic
career is soon recalled to recollection. Thirty-three
years were passed by JEROME in exile, under the
title of the Count de MONTFORT, namely, from 1815
until the Revolution of 1848, at which revived the
hopes of the Imperial dynasty. Shortly after the
intermediate revolution of 1830, the eldest of the
brothers, JOSEPH, then Count of Survilliers, had
written from his place of banishment at New York,
in the course of his Address to the French Chamber
of Deputies—" La famille dc NAPOLEON a ete
appelee par trois millions cinque cent mille votes."
February came—and those three millions and odd
were thrice endorsed by the confirmatory votes of
a considerable proportion of the French adult male
population. The youngest and sole surviving
brother of NAPOLEON the Great, besides regaining
his rank as Imperial Prince, became in turn
Governor of the Invalides, conservator of the re-
mains of his glorious brother, President of the
Senate in 1851, and for some few years father
•f the heir - presumptive to the Imperial
diadem. During the chief part of this last decade'
his Imperial Highness has lived in great state at
his residence in the Palais Royal, the object of uni-
versal interest as the solitary survivor of all that
family of Kings and Queens who were the brothers
and sisters of the Great NAPOLEON. Among the
many subjects of supreme interest indeed presented
to the imagination of late years in Paris, not the
least attractive assuredly have been the historic
memories suggested by the sight of that venerable
Prince, who in his youth had served, by land and
by sea, under the banners of the Imperial Con•
queror, and who, while still in the flower of his
manhood, himself led, upon the field of Waterloo,
the last heroic but bootless charge upon the heights
of Hougoumont.

The Patric of this evening says :—" Since the
28th inst. the state of affairs at Naples has im-
proved. Tranquillity has not been disturbed and
the agitation has somewhat subsided. The ministry
is determined to fully and loyally carry out the
new institutions, and to maintain order and tran-
quillity. Many troops have been concentrated at
Naples."

The Patrie also says :—" The disturbances in
Albania have been considerably exaggerated. The
statement that the Austrian Consul has been mur-
dered is inexact."

VIENNA, JULY 1.

Sinch the meeting of German Sovereigns at
Baden, the Prussian Ambassador, Baron Werther,
has had several conferences with Count Rechberg,
with the object of bringing about a perfect under-
standing between Austria and Prussia.
The fact that Austria no longer insists upon a
guarantee of the integrity of her dominions will
greatly facilitate such an understanding.

BERNE, JULY 1.
It is asserted that Switzerland will submit to the
Conference the following question only :
Is it in the interest of Europe and the neutrality
of Switzerland to leave the Simplon Pass perfectly
accessible to France without demanding any fresh
guarantees ?

Should this question obtain a solution unsatis-
factory to Switzerland, she would confine herself
to taking cognisance of the declarations in which
France engaged herself to assume all the military
obligations resulting from article 93 of the final act
of Vienna.

Switzerland would besides claim the right, in
case of war, of militarily occupying the neutralised
districts of Chablais and Faucigny.
Switzerland would also state her reserves, the
insertion of which in the protocols of the Conference
she would demand, and would maintain in prin-
ciple all the rights which are guaranteed to her by
treaties.
