From the Correspondence Of the New Orleans Plea yune
BALTIMORE, Nov. IS, 1864.
Jerome Bonaparte, son of Jerome, and
nephew Of Emperor Napoleon, who was on
visit to his cousin, the Emperor Louis Ma
poleon is now in our city. While in France,
himself and son, Lieut.. Bonaparte, were both
naturalized and made citizens of the French
Empire. The father also had conferred upon
him the title of Prince, and the son was APP
pointed to a Lieutenancy in the French army.
Our Baltimore Prince, however, seems to bear
his titled honors with becoming republican
simplicity. He assumes no air beyond, other
ordinary citizens, and is seen daily mingling
in the vocatons of business. The main pas
sion and pleasure of his life appears to be the
obtaining, training and cultivation of horses.
If mistake not, he would rather hold the
reins and drive span of noble animals, with
a handsome establishment than wear the i'm
perial crown. He entertains no political am
bition, has never aspired to it, and probably
never will l saw him three days ago, work

break one of his fine horses to harness. To-
ward this end did he apply his physical and
mental energies with untiring assduity and
iron will, as did the old Emperor in endeav-
oring to conquer Europe; and must say that
he succeeded better, for his purpose was final

may yet take up his final abode 10 France,

liable estate here. His son, the. Lieutenant,
an exceedingly aniable and accomplished
young gentleman, never exhibited any extra
ordinary talent, though circumstances in his
new sphere of life may bring cut and discover
the hidden gem.

his departure for Europe she presented him
with $4,000, and promised him the larger

France and raise himself to the highest honors

although native OF Baltimore, has wonder.

despise Republican America, and yearns for
imperial sway yet her acts are almost demo-
cratic. Possessing an immense fortune, she
chooses to live in plain boarding house,
without even suite ofroons or an establish
ment. Verging near the period of threescore
and ten years, she still exhibits traces of re-
markable beauty, priding herself upon having
the smoothest, fairest skin of any lady in the
city. She may be frequently seen on the
wharves, on Change, at the Poet Office, Wis
iting brokers, bankers, and other gentlemen Of
business, collecting rents, buying stocks, and
participating in other speculative matters.
She never goes to church, eschews modern
morality, and has religion of her own. She
talks philosophy, argues politics, ridicules
sentlmentalists, and loves to dwell upon and
recount the glories of Ia belle France. She

emphatically a character standing out in bold
relief. and singularly prominent among her
sex.
