Ileorn from source, which is entitled to cred
it, that Louis Napoleon, in concert with the younl
Empress, has extended friendly invitation to hi.
relat YES, tie Bonapartes in this city, 10 yis
France. The family here, son and grand chill.
diem ofJerome Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother, are
in the line of promotion, in fact, to the Imperia
crown. Jerome Bonaparte the grand nephew Of
old Napoleon, is young man about twenty two
years of age, and belongs to the United States Ar
my, having graduated at West Point He is q
young gentleman of remarkable beauty, and noted
Tor his intelligence, amiabiliy of character, &c
Not the slightest auStentation attaches itself &c
him. This youthful lineal descendant of the re.
nowned Corscan, has, am informed, accepted the
imperial invitation, and purposes visiting Paris
soon, for which purpose he has, is about obtain
ing, leave of absence from the President for six
months. This looks like disposition upon the
part of his Imperial HigkneSs, to cultivate friendly
feelings, not only with his consauguinetical rela-
tions, but with government.
Mrs. Bonaparte, the widow of Jerome Bona
parte, who was Miss Patterson, of Baltimore,
still resides in city. She about seventy years
of age, very sptighty, and immensely rich.
The nephew of old Napoleon, and father oil
young Jerome, who contemplates visiting France,
is man about forty years of age, altosether I'M
pretending. He is said to be the best likeness Of
his uncle ever seen; and from all representations
of the distinguished Emperor, am inclined to think
this correct. HIS peculiar passion is good horses.
This seems TO be the climax of his ambition. He
keeps the best stud of animals in the country.

finished i'll season to accommodate all DESTROYS oil
entering the exhibition competitors.
