To IRE Editor ef tis Lo,don Moraiag Chronicle.
SiR--The death of Bonaparte naturally
leads rejecting minds to the contemplation of
his son and his future fortunes: for, descended
and connected as he is, il is impossible to
conceal the fact, that he is daily growing m
object the highest interest and regard. The
public hitherto, have heard little and know
less of this Imperial Boy! Even his age, IT,
ties, &c. &c have never been correctly stated
in any oil the public papers. The following
faithful particulars of this rising star, will, no
doubt, be read with interest
The French Emperor, Napoleon, was mar
RED to the Arch-Duchess Maria Louisa of
Austria, the 18th March, 1910, in Vienna, by
proxy, and personally on the LIST April of the
same year in Paris. The subject OF this arti-
Gle was born March 90, 1911, and named by
ms father, Napoleon, and afterwards, Francis
Charles Joseph, in compliment to his grand
father ana uncle on his mothers side, and UNI
Gle on his fathers side. He was deprived of
MS title of King of Rome and declared Duke
Of Reiclistadt on the 22d July, 1913. Reich
stadt is IN Bohemia, has castle and good es-
tate, which is at nurse during his minority.
The Ex-Empress was declared Duchess Of
Parma in 1919.
In addition TO these particulars, should add
an dnecdote which cannot be uninteresiing.-
In November, 1919, the Emperor gave grand
chase al lchushoil, magnificent sporting do
main about 20 English miles east of Vienna,
on the left bank of the Danube. The Mobiles
OF the Court and all the Foreign Ambassa-
doris were present during the sports of the
days shooting. Young Napoleon, who was
OF the party, begged To have a gun, which the
Emperor, after much entreaty, permitted,
with strict injunctiOns that it might be charged
with powder only. a tier two fires, he was
rallied upon being bad shot, and told that he
had better decline Il further attempt. By
what means, | am not prepared 10 state, but
at this moment he discovered the trick which
had been pat upon him. He now remonstra-
ted with his grandfather, and after much
pleading, was allowed small charge of shot.
He brought down his first bird Ga pheasant to
the inexpressible delight and admiration of the
Emperor and all present; and out OF 4 shots
he baSged birds.
That young Napoleon has not only proved
himself good shot, but exceedingly clever
for his years, is sufficiently known to all who
have had the best opportunities OF ascertainine,
the facts, and the extreme and well known
parIlality of the Emperor, and indeed the
whole Imperial family, is sufficiently obvious,
both IN public and private and it is highly
creditable TO those charged with his education,
that he Is constantly attended by men OF the
most profound talents. His equipage is also
OF the first order, carriage with six horses
and four out-riders.
| The Liverpool Courier states, that on the
day OF his Maiesty's coronation, Moses Samuel
Esq. OF Boid-strcet, presented to the Libra "
OF the Athen9um, manuscript Pentateuch, Oh
Sacred Law OF the Jews. This singular GU
rosity Is of very great value, and beautifully
written on roll Of fine vellum, four inches
wide, and upwards of forty-iive feet long il
is attached at each end to an ivory roller, and
the whole is enclosed in splendid case OF
crimson velvet. A special meeting of the
committee was summoned for the purpose OF
receiving this valuable present, and IN ark
was ordered to be prepared for its prcserva-
ton, under Mr.. Samuefs direction. Rich as
this library has always been in literary trea-
surcs, it is now indebted to the generosity oi
Mr.. Samuel, for its greatest rarity.
