PARIS, NOVEL;, 1852.
1t is probable that you received the text of the
Sendtis- eOnsultun by the intermediate steamer,
the Hermnnn. The Importance of the subject,
however, requires some comment, and that of
course, involvess some specification of the articles oil
the instrument
The third article authorizes Louis Napoleon 10
adopt il he has no male child, the male Children
OF grand children of the brothers of the Emperor
Napo eon1st. But such adopted sons, in case oil a
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 have
more than once mentioned, existed IN the DRAFT oil
the SenGtus- cOHsuliuI, originally proposed, and
as the President desired it should pass the Senate.
But it was expungcd by that body, with surprising
unanimity and determination, to the great mortl-
fication Of Jerome, and the quiet establishment OF
| the President. Tile motive was not so much an
objection to Jerome as to his son, Napoleon Bona
parte, who would succeed him, and who is, as you
| know, an ex-sociaiist and ultra-republlcan. Jc-
rome resigned his seat as President of the Senate,
and retreated to the lnvalides. The President did
not feel incline TO insist upon the re-inScrtlon oil
the rejected clause probably from Indifference 10
trouble himself about matter which implies his
own death or d"wnfall. The only points OF i'm

enough to seek revenge, and is he strong enough to
obtain it2 And will the exclusion of Napoleon
BOnaparte from the assured line of descendants
keep the republicans away from the polls, and
thus diminish the affirmative vote upon the PLcCls-
| cite? consider Louis Napoleon too strong TO be
affected in either way, aud the whole question Of
| inheritance and succession is rendered really n-
significant by the extreme improbubility Of any
successor maintaining the present order of things,
when once the Sceptre has slipped from the hands
of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.
| The following are the names of the sons and
grand sons of the brothers ofthe Emperor, NapOle-
on l, whom Napoleon Ill may adopt if he has no
male child himself:
The sons OF Lucen BOnaparte by his second
marriage, viz:
Charles Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canine, and
ex-President Of the Roman Constituent Assembly,
aged 40.
LOUIS Lncien, aged SO,
| Pierre, aged 81, and
Antoine, aged So.

aged 80. The only grand sons living of any BROTH

children of son, Charles EucieI, Prince of Can
| inc, viz:
Joseph Lucieu, Prince of Musignano, aged29.
Lucen Louis, aged "a, and
Napoleon Jacques, aged ID.
1 Any one of these eight Bonapsres is capable OF
being called to the succession, by choice of, and
adoption by Napoleon III.
