Prince Louis Napoleon has forwarded to some
of his friends in Paris the following invocation
to the names of the Emperor
FORTRESS OF HAM, Dec. Is, 1910.
STe,-You return 10 your capital, and the
people in crowds welcome you back; but |,
alas! from the depth of my dungeon can only
! catch glimpse of tina: ray which illumines
your funeral.
Take it not i'll of your family, that they are
not present to receive you; your exile and your
misfortunes ceased with your life, but ours
still endure.
You expired on a rock, far fromlyour country
and your friends. The hand of u son closed
not your eyes; and even now not one OF your
race is present to conduct you to the tomb
Montholon, he whom of all your devoted
companions you loved the most, performed
the last duties of a son. your will was his; he
faithfully obeyed your last wishes: he told NE
your last words, but he is now my companion
in prison.
A French vessel, commanded by an illustrl-
GUS young Prince was sent to conVeyAbaek
your ashes, but you looked in vain there Tor
even one member of your house; your family
were all absent.
On approaching the soil of France, a shock
like that from lightning was felt; you raised
youIselfin your shroud-you opened your eyes
for a moment. The tri-solored flag foated on
the coast, but your eagle was not there!
The people, as in bygone days, thronged the
procession; they welcomed you with acclama-
lions, as they were wont when you lived; but
the rulers of the day, while they rendered yon
all due homage, whispered to each other. sin
Gods name let us not disturb his repose!"
You have again beheld Frenchmen whom
you loved so well; you have returned TO that
France which you rendered so ilustrious; but
foreigners have there left traces of their foot
steps, which this pompous display alone can
never eface.
You behold that young army, the children OF
your brave warriors; they worship you as the
god of their glory, but the word of command to
them is-Be still.
Sire, the people that inhabit our beautiful
country are still men of the same stamp, but for
those whom you made so great, for those whom
you found so little, have no regrets.
They have renounced your faith, your ideas,
your glory, your very blood When 1 address.
sed them in behalf Of your cause, they replied
"W, understand you not"
Heed not what they say, nor what they do;
the grains of sand DER which the wheels OF the
chariot rolI affect it not. These men may say
you were a meteor that left no traces behind,
but they vainly attempt to deny your glory.
They can never disinherit you.
Sire, the Fifteenth of December is great
day for France and for me. From the midst
Of the pompous procession, you have turned to
nv dismal abode, and calling to mind the ca
resses you heaped upon me in infancy, you
nave thus said "Friend thou sufferest for my
sake; thy conduct approve"

RECOGNITION OF TEXAS.
The committee of the Anti Slavery Society
having transmitted to Lord Palmerston their
esolutions on the subject of the recognition OF
Texas, bis Lordshp has returned the follow
ng answer
FOREIGN OFFICE, Dec. Il, 1910.
"Sir-I am directed by Viscount Palmerston
o ackno Wedge the receipt of your letter OF the
7th instant, addressed to his Lordship, trans
hitting d copy of resolutions which the COM
nittee off The British and Foreign Anti Slavery
Society passed on the I'd inst, expressing their
concern that her Majesty's government should
nave entered into commercial treaty with
Texas, and protesting against the recognition
Of the independence of that republic by Great
Britain.
81 am, in reply, directed to state to you, that
Lord Palmerston very much regrets that the
committee should take this view OF the mes-
sures which has been adopted by her Majesty's
government in regard to Texas; but that it does
not appear to Lord Palmerston, on the one hand,
that the refusal of Great Britain to conclude
treaty with Texas would have bad
any effect In inducing the Texans to abolish
slavery within their territory; nor on the other
hand, that the conclusion of such treaty can
have the effect of afiording the Texans any en-
TO continue the condition of slave
ry as part of their law.
"It may indeed be hoped that the greater in
tercourse between Great Britain and Texas,
which will probably result from the treaty,
may have the eject of mitigating, rather than
existence Of slavery in that republic.
'Lord Palmerston desires me to mention,
that you appear to be under misapprehension
as to the state Of the relations between Great
Britain and Hayti; inasmuch as Great Britain
has actually concluded treaty with Hayti, as
an independent state; and have the satisfaction
to acquaint you, that the specific object and
purpose of that treaty is the suppression Of the
slave trade.
" am sir. your most obedient servant, 4
