as there Bourbon among us, is one of the ques-
tons ofthesc modern days. The inquiry was star
ted by Rev. j. H. Hanson, in the first number of
Putnam's New Monthly, who besides asking the
question, went on to answer it, by attempting to
show that there is Bourbon among us, in the per-
son of one Eleazar Williams, an Episcopal minis
ter, missionary among the Indians, at Green Bay
The gi. of the matter is that Williams is the son
of Lous XVI who was beheaded in the French re-
volution the close of the last century, the son
having been secretly removed to this country, in
stead of dying in prison as history has it, and as is
generally believed. Since the publication of this
Putnam article, book has appeared in France gil
wing circumstantia account os the death of this
Son, accompanied by proof which at first glance
would seem to be conclusive. Nevertheless, in the
April number of Putnam, Mr.. Hanson comes bold
ly up to the difficulty, proves the Prince de join
vile to be no better than he ought to be in the
matter of veracity-shows the proofs of the book
to be no proofs at all, and altogether makes out
very fair case for ourfellow citizen Williams. Since
this publication we notice the following in the n
Y. Tribune, which we preface with the remark
that the Belangcr alluded to, is the man who spir
tied away the Dauphin, if he was carried off:
ave are told by one of the parties engaged in
this investigation, that letter has been received
from lady at New Orleans, who states that she
is the person TO whom Belanger made his dying
declaration in regard to the Dauphiu. She is well
known to DIR. Hawkes. having been q member of
his church when he settled in New Orleans.
She states that she has in her possession trunk
full of documents relating to this question, COM
munications from the royal family, &C., which sets
the matter entirely at rest, and proves Rev. Mr..
Williams to be the Dauphin, beyond cavil. An
agent has been sent to New Orleans to obtain pos
session of the documents -
Surprising the question to be settled in the affir-
NATIVE, that there is Bourbon among us, the next
query obviously comes from the school of Jenny
Twitcher utilitarianism: "vell, vot of it," And
here, with others who have speculated the point
we are rather up stump; nevertheless we see
remote glimmer of something that looks like day
light, upon the darkness of this question. This
newly discovered heir apparent is old man of
seventy, and no doubt Napoleon III. will hold on
during his day But the old man has a son John,
now in the prime of active manhood. Our citizens
generally don't know it perhaps and those who
did have no doubt forgotten it, that Master john
ny, when lad, resided here in our very midst.
Now taking the character of the French into &C
count-their volatility versatility, and love of
nance, it seems to us that Johnny is the very lad
at the next revolution, to take the throne of Char
lcmagne and Napoleon. Well Master Johnny
won't forget his friends of course, and here is where
We see the utility of all this matter. That John
ny was Bourbon we never suspected, either in
stnctively otherwise, but that he born bore
his pranks about our Office and sanctum, left us no
room to doubt: and if we dealt with him in virtue
of what we did know rather than what did not
he will no doubt deal leniently with short CO.
