NapoieOn " was al once decided that measures
d'urgence should be adopted against the Prince II
was an old orderly officer of the Emperor's, Col
Dumoulin, who started Prince Louis Napoleon as
a candidate for the department of the Seine. He
did so without any authority or communication
either with the Prince himself or with the members
of the Bonsparte family resident in Paris. The
three members of the family, who are already in
the Assembly, were so much annoyed at the cir
cnmstance that they waited upon the Mayor of Pa
ris to state that Prince Louis Napoleon had no
Intention OF starting as a. candidate, and that he
was put forward without his knowledge or sanction
They even threatened to prosecute Col Dumoulin
for what he had done, and it was only the success
of the movement that prevented the ardent Buona-
partist from finding himself in very disagreeable
scrape
Il was said that secret orders were issued to ar
rest the Prince. This called forth contradiction

The sitting of the Chamber was looked forward

prevent the curious from resortlng to these places
as they have been doing OF late. They suddenly

thousands of persons who had gone merely to see
the fun, found themselves closed up for several
hours in the midst of mass of all descriptions of
people, and without its being possible to extricate
themselves.

of one of the London papers, will give you some
