which has been prepared at the Tuileries.
Jerome Napoleon has been here, somewhat in cog
He re-cmbarked at Woolwich for France Monday 1t
is whispered in diplomatic circles that the object of his
visit was to open negotiations for marriage with the
Princess Royal who will be fifteen years old in November
His advances would of course be Indignantly fepelei If
Great Britain we're in reality any longer independe5t
