The diplomatic notes maintain this first point the
same conclusions Of the Cabinets Of Berlin and st. Peters
burg they have already done In their respective Of
the month Of February last The conclusions this
effect II Prince Louis Napoleon proclaimed Empe-
ror and if such change in the French Government
the result Of vote expressed by universal suffrage the
Courts Of Europe would observe line Of conduct where
such election personal and only for s different from
that with respect to pretended hereditary right and
transmissbe by Of succession In the first case,
Austria, Prussia and Russia would perhaps consent to
asmate the situation Of the Executive in France TO that
Of the former Kings Of Poland who owed their power also
election who received rights from their ancestors,
and transmitted none their descendants and such
recognition would be given under certain conditions
There is no doubt that the Powers by doing would
depart from that provision Of the treaties which nterdicts
the Bonaparte family from the exercise Of supreme power
in France elsewhere; but the other hand while do
ing they change nothing in what exists at present and
the principle of right would not be affected II not inn
possible that in the interest Of the peace of Europe they
would maintain with the President become Emperor for
lfe the same diplomatic relations they hold with
him as President Of the French Republic. The Powers
would 60 beyond that and If there arose question
of hereditary Emperor of empire transmssbe or OF
dynastc right of any kind, the Powers would certainly
refuse recognise the Governments they would pro-
test against the assumption Of right and such protest
they would make only in their interest but for
the sake of France herself Finally, they would declare
that the Of establishing hereditary power In the
person of Prince Louis Napoleon Bonsparte contrary

and dignity of sovereign houses and to the letter and
spirit Of the treaties which in vieor at this day IN

final consideration which is entirely personal to Prince
Louis Napoleon which has its origin in circumstance Of
rather singular nature though it is believe, very lit
tie known at the present day. The sixth clause Of the
treaty Of the 18th April 1914, which signed be-
half of the Emperor by Caulaincour Marshal Ney, and
Marshal Macdonald and ratified by the Emperor himself
the following day. specifies that Of 900
francs in domains in the great book of the
State should be reserved to the Emperor and his family
The clause divides that between the mother, the
brothers. and the sistersof Napoleon Queen Hortense
and her children The portion reserved for King Leus
Count de ST. Leu amounted 200 900 francs of revenue
that to Queen Hortense and her children to 100000
francs King Louis Bonaparte Count de St. Leu, father
of the President of the Republic made that subject
the following declaration, which it appears was inserted
in the Gazette de Lausanne:
"sT The late King Of Holland bearing since the month
Of July $780, the Of Louis de ST. Leu having read
in the Gazette de Lausanne of the 18th Of the present
month convention in which he is comprised 1.-THE treaty
of the 18th April declares that he renounces all that
him in the sixth article Of the said act lie
declares that having the right to accept
particular advantages, or to spulate for his children
without his consent he for them, and disap-
proves all that may have been done may yet De done
during their separation from him.

"The notes add that the Count de st. Leu had also
protested against the Snatus Consu of the 10th Decem
ber $780, by which he given an apanoge in his lands
of ST. Leu, and in compensation for his kingdom of Ho
land 1t is alleged that these two protests deposited
together with several other documents relative them
with notary at Lausanne, who drew up deed Of that
deposte on the 18th June, 1916 They were published
in the Gazette Of the month, and in the 1SSh
Der of the Journal Of Frankfort the 1st July, 1916.
The notes next enter on the question to whether,
in the event of elective life Emperor, it would
be necessary make the recognition of the Powers de-
pend certain conditions and to demand certain
pledges The conclusion for the various arguments EN-
ployed is decidedly in the Affirmative and 1t is attempt
ed define the conditions that ought to be imposed
the new Emperor, and to which he should bind himself
The first of those conditions is solemn engagement Il
reIgously respect the treaties. The imperial Govern
ment Of France win be expected to keep within the terri
orial limits which those treaties have laid down, and Il
seek occasion of aggrandizementto give real rati
cation those treaesto declare that it al
and every pretension to continue found mpera
dynasty, and to regard itself only de aeto Govern
ment, and never otherwise. s
"As a matter Of course, explanations would be ex
pected and required the question of peace and
well the strongest guarantees for the maintenance
peace. The notes add that it intended by thu
three Powers to interfere in the Government Of France
that France ought to know what best suits her but tina
explanations viii be asked to the nature Of the potca
doctrines of the Government and what seems to thu
Cabinets to be species Of propagandism also on thu
encouragement which they aege is given to the Italian
and Polish refugees" COZ ssot "a rl
