Pretenons render nece1ary; the lawful claimant of
his throne by ihort protect addrefIed to the fove-
reigns OF Europe, gives him one of thefe remembran-
ces which are well known interrupt the peace of the
UiurPer in the midf of all his fplendors. This in
ttrument is dated, Warfaw, June 6, 1905, and de-
cares, that far from acknowledging the imperial title
that Bonaparte has received from body, which has
not legitimate extence, he protects as well againft
that title as to all the judgement acts to which i,
may give birth" 1t proves how well Bonaparte is
aware OF the imPobiity Of preventing the circulation
OF uc papers in France, that he has printed il in his
own Moniteur; nianGuvre, which gives him an air
Of conieous iecurity upon the old policy of making
virtue of necelity.

papers, which we have received to the 4th inf re-
late amot entirely to the Wits of Bonaparte either to

Can Of Col Busr.-A grand Jury Of
the stAts Of Ne& Jersey having pressn-
ted q bin Of. Indictment for murder, n
against this gentleman, it has become
an interesting question whether the crime
Of which he hss been guilty is really
murder in egaisigni6ca,ion. By the
common Law, Il the stroke Of which one
dies be- given in one county and he die
in another, IL is not murder in either.
The case being much stronger betweet
di6erens stases, 1t Il supposed thas n
Gencral Hamilton died in New-York
and mot in New Jersey, Col. Burr can.
not be guilty of murder. Blu, the fact
l. otherwise for by. a particular statute
of the state Of New Jerssy, II the stroke
be given in New Jersey, AID the death
sfssllei in smother state, It is murder.
No doubt therefore remains Of the na-
sure Of the crime, and the grand jury
have been correct.
