II is probable that you received the text OF The
Sendtus -eOnsulum by the intermediate steamer,
the Hermann. The importance OF the subject,
however, requires some comment, and that OIL
course, involves specification of the articles OF
the instrument
The third article authorizes Louis Napoleon 10
adopt, il he has no male child, the male children
or grand children of the brothers OF the Emperor
Napo eon1st. But such adopted sons, IN case oil
male child being born after their adoption, cannot
succeed until after his death or the extinction OF
| his line. Adoption is interdicted TO all but the
Emperor Napoleon Ill.
You will notice in this article the omission of an
important clause-that making Jerome Bonaparte
the only surviving brother of the Emperor, the heir
presumptiye to the throne, in case Louis Napole-
on should leave no heir. This clause, as Ihave
more than once nentionedJ existed in the drn't oil
the Sendtus coHsuLinI, originally proposed, and
ms the President desired it should pass the Senate
But it was expunged by that body with surprising
unanimity and determination, to the great mortI-
| fication Of Jerome, and the quiet establishment oil
the President. Tile motive was not so much all
objection to Jerome as TO his son, Napoleon Bona
parte, who would succeed him, and who is, as you
| know, an socialist and ultra-republlcan. Jc-
rome resigned his seat as President OF the Senate,
and retreated TO the InvalideS. The President did
not feel incline to insist upon the re-inSertion OF
the rejected clause probably from Indifference 10
trouble himself about matter which implies his
! own death or downfall. The only points oil i'm
portance i'll this rupture are these: is jerome angry
enough TO seek revenge and IS he strong enough 10
| obtain It'll And will the exclusion of Napoleon
Bon0parte from the assured line of descendants
| keep the republicans away from the polls, and
thus diminish the affirmative vote upon the plcLs-
cite? consider Louis Napoleon too strong TO be
affected IN either way, and The whole question OF
inheritance and succession IS rendered really i'll
| significant by the extreme improbability of any
successor maintaining the present order of things
when once the Sceptre has slipped from the hands
of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
| hn fnl1p 0tviF11 he mar 0F Tho md
grand sons of the brothers ofthe Emperor, Napole-
on |, whom Napoleon Ill may adopt if he has no
male child himself:
The sons of Lucien Bonaparte by his second
marriage, viz:
Charles Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino and
x-President Of the Roman Constituent Assembly,
| aged 80.
LOUIS Lucien. aged 80.
Pierre, aged 81, and
Antoine, aged SO.
| The sons of Jerome by his second marriage, viz:
| Napoleon Joseph Bonaparte, ex-Mountaineer,
aged 80. The only grand sons living of any broth
er Of the Emperor, ale those Of Lucien, being the
children ofhisSo Charles Lucien, Prince of Can
| inc, viz:
Joseph Lucien, Prince of Musignano, nged28.
| Lucen Louis, aged "a, and
| Napoleon jacques, aged Is.
ANY one of these eight Bonaper.es is capable OF
being called 10 the succession, by choice of, and
adoption by Napoleon Ill.
| The 9th articlr: declares who are and who are
moi members of the family of the Emperor. The
| eight Bonaparles who may be adopted, and their
descendants of both sexes, the onlySurviving broth
er of Napoleon |, and the descendants of the SIS
tiers of Napoleon |, compose the imperial family.
| Those whose names have not been mentioned are
the following; the table Is long and intricate, but
will be valuable for future reference; omit sucl
members of the family are dead.

| Napoleon, viz: tire Princess Lenaide Charlotte Bo-
napnrte married to her cousin, Charles Lucien Be-
naparte, the Prince Of CanIno.
