The AMERICAN BONAPARTEs.-A Paris cOrre-
spondent of the Courier des Eta,s Unis sends the
following to that paper, which we translate for
THE TRIBUNE:
"Apropos of Americans, must tell you Of an inter.
esng question in relation to the Bonapae-Patersons
of Baltimore which has been recently discussed in the
bosom Of the imperial family of France. The Prince
Napoleon and the Princess Mathde suggested one day
to the Prince Jerome their father that the son born
of bis rst marriage with Miss Patterson ought not to
be authorized to bear his name, since that marriage,
contracted without the consent of Napoleon l., had
been snnued by him, and that it could not be regarded
az legitimate, without, by implication, attaining with
ilegitimacy his second union with the Princess OF
Wirtemberg their mother. This conclusion could
only be logical in the eyes of the Church. which does
NOT allow divorce. That is why the Holy See, at the
time refused to annu the marriage of Prince jerome
and Miss Patterson, and that obstinate refusal
of Plus VII. was the first cause OF bis
difficulties with Napoleon |. But the legsls-
ton of the French Empire authorizing divorce,
the marriage of the Prince jerome with the
Princess Catharine Of Wiirtemberg has an incontest
able value, social and legal BE that as it may nego-
tiations with young BOnspate Patterson, at present
Lieutenant of Dragons in the French army were set
on foot to induce him to renounce half OF his nanne
He was offered rich equivalent. But he replied that
no compensation was equal to the name OF Bonaparte;
and this spirited answer pleased the Emperor exceed
ingly, whose sympathes in behalf Of the young man
were augmented. The Prince Jerome and bis children
persistDg in their protestations the affair submit
ted to the Privy Council instituted by Napoleon ILL.,
on the occasion of difficulties arbing between the
Princess Casino and her husband, whom Plus TX. also
refused to divorce. The of Bouaparte Patterson
was defended by NJ. Beuyer the choice Of whom
would have caused some astonishnent, were he not
of the counsel long since apponte of the Imperial
family. After one hearing the arbitrator could rem

tensions OF the children OF Prince Jerome and was

The Sioux expedition is ended, and with credit to ai

''''O't @. A DE RUssY, Capt. 4th Art, Post Adjt.
We believe Gen. Stanton was born in Vermont. He
entered the army as Third Lieutenant Light Artillery
on the Goth Of June 1873, and served with honor
during the war with Great Brtain-we think portion
of the time in the Staff Of Gen. lizard. AT the close OF
the war there was q reduction OF the army. He was
retained. On the lst of December, lel7, he volun-
tsrily resigned his commission, but on the 18Th Of
February, 1919, he reGntered the army as Assistant
Deputy Quartermaster General. At the reorgapiza-
ton Of the army in 1921 be was again retained, and
in his department by regular gradatons TO the
grade of Colonel, being next in rank to the quarter

He served in the Florida war. the Adjutant Gen.
ere of Major General Jessup, and with great cred'.
He subsequently, during the war with Mexico, per-
formed the highly important duty of Quartermaster
General, for which he received the brevet OF Bnga-
der General dated Jan. l, lsi7.
In the department Of the army to which ne De-

PRESENT CoDITIoN OF Mr.. SUMNER.-On Wedres
day we had the pleasure Of meeting an old friend
who has been for several years an intimate personal
friend of Mr.. Sumner, with whom he passed two days
curing the last week at Cape May. BE states that
Mr. Sumner, though better in some respects, Is stH
suffering from extreme weakness precuding at present
either physical mental exertion. In the opinion OF
his consulting physician his constitution, though ot
or, a natural yigO is the class which recovers slowly
hom the effect Of severe Iness or physical injury In
the Judgment of friend there was little or no reason
for appre hending any serious permanent injury to Mr.
Sumner in case he was removed IRON al cause Oh eA'
citemeut, but his recovery must be work Of time.
MIR. Sumner while at Cape May, was in the family
of Mr. Furness of Philadelphia, from whom he received
eyery possible attention lie has since left for the
Aleghapies for the benefit of the mountain air. Ia
the opinion Of his physician his escape with his life
vas almost q miracle He himself remarked, with
great emphasis, that under God he owed bis LIE TO Dr

Ii spite Of ply sica debility, Mr.. Sumner takes the
deepest interest in the affairs Of Kapsas and the
try and is mest eager TO take his sect IN the Senate
ere the adjournment of Congress, but his friends
il TO the country that this honorable desire should no!
be gratifed, the consequent excitement upon that
step might cost his life.
II Mr.. Sumner life is spared, his past course and
present position give promise OF career which will
rival in spencor and renown any name in the annals OF

WASHINGTON, Saturday, August 2, 1856.
Buchsnans telegraphic letter to the Convention
of Hards and Softs at Syracuse has disguised and
mortified the Democrats here beyond measure, and
some declare outright that it is hoax. A member
of the Cabinet was heard to remark that it would
lose Buchanan thousands Of votes at the North,
and not gain him a single one at the South. The
egotistic twsddle about such an important event.
e. e., the prospect Of electing Old Buck y in this
"crisis," and the " rebuking of fanaticism, come
with bad grace from the old fllibuster that
hatched the Ostend Manifesto.
