Wedced into SARDINIA betw., ice and Gen on the
shores OF the Mediterranean there lies little pocket prin
cipal.iy called MosAoO. Is has popsation OF $500
sou,s ali told contained few miles square of ground.
Monaco small city built rock. with a little port
and about eco inhabitants, Is the capital The City OF
Menon larger than first, contains 5000 inhabitants
and small port also. Roquebrune connected with Men
ton contains with its territory 1000 inhabitants. The
three cities cover ne srly the entire State.
The rights of sovereignty this prlneipality vested
in the Princes of Monaco and have been held by the rep
resenative Of this house for long time. Whatever may
have been the origin OF these rights it suiices to know
that these Princes who issued from the domination OF the
Dukes of Savoy after being first under the protection OF
Spain where thew held several e placed themselves in
1914 under that of the Kings OF France. This change
them all that they possessed in Spain but they were
compensated by the concession of the Peer-Duehy OF Va
eutnos which gave them an entrance into the Para-
men. of Paris.
During the revolution Of 50 Monaco incorporated
into France in 1914 she detached again and placed
under the protection of France. But in 1915 it was de-
cided that the relations established beSeen France and
the Principally OF Monaco in 1914 should forever
ana that they should thereafter exist between this Princi
pality and the Kingdom of Sardinia. Monaco then
taced under the protection of Sardinia which exercised
the RICH, Of keeping garrison in the capital and perhaps
in the other This protectorae existed till the gen
eral revolution of lsis.
AT this epoch the two cities of Mention and Roquebrune
made common and revolted. They declared them
selves independent still retaining the protection of the
King of Sardinia. The City of Monaco, occupied by
garrison of Sandman troops remained alone faithful to
il sovereign the Prince of Monaco Since then the Pied
monese Government induced by the vote of the two COM
munes to incorporate them into its provinces has present
ed to the Chamber of Deputies project OF law, which
the Chamber adopted in these terms: The communes OF
Mention and Roquebrune shall be henceforth governed
like the other parts Of the State and forming nte
gra part thereof This proposition has not yet received
the sanction of the Senate. certain that this
carries grave attack against the rights of the Prince of
Monaco: but these rights already attacked and
weakened ii forever destroyed by the revolution OF
lsis But does this fact suffice to found right and
substitute it for preexsen right
Since the revolution of 3is six years the Princes
Of Monaco have taken serious steps to enter into the
possession OF their revoed cities to establish there
their authority they have confined themselves simply to
protcstations The European Powers made proesta-
tions for than four years and it was not till in De-
cember 1882 that Prussia and England protested against
the acts the Sandman Government in having surround
ed Mention Roquebrune and their territory with its
tom.house lines. The French Government did more
the persons who governed Mention and Roquebrune hav
ing demanded the admission of their flag into the French
ports the favor accorded to them and they have en-
loved this right for six years.
II is mentioned above that no serious attempts other
than simple protesatons have been made by the Princes
of Monaco install themselves into the power Of which
the revolution had deprived them. An exception how
ever did occur after the style of the famous attack on
Bouocne on the 9th Of April las which occasion the
Duke of Valentnois, of FlOrestan, first Prince OF
Monaco appeared at Mention in grand costume at

his aid-de-camp in uniform. They arrived unheraded,
in carriage drawn by six horses and stopped at the Ho-
tel de Turin.
By preconcerted arrangement with some former Of
fcers under the Prince then residing in Mention his par
iisans numbering about twenty persons rallied in few
intants and hoisted the flag of the House OF Grimald
They detached the horses from the carriage and drawing
themselves through the street Saint Michel shouted Vre
lie Princel Vire Grimaidi!
The aborDg people already in the country at their
work; the weather portion of the citizens yet
asleep and the streets consequently deserted but at
the first news of the affair the population hastened into
the streets and the National Guard collected The Prince
having descended from the carriage, he at
rested The cries A bas lie Prince Fire e Roi were
universal. He put into prison. and afterward sent
out of the country. His followers also arrested.
The people Of the revo,ed territories have grown
impatient with their present disorganized condition, and
are DESTROYS of incorporating themselves permanently with
Government of their choice The Prince also desires to
FELL out and abdicate-sr consideration. With this OBJ
ect view the eyes of both parties have been turned to
