letter from Paris. June 3Jth to the indie
pendence Beige, says. that the question of deter
mining of the position of the son and grandson
Of Prince jerome Bonaparte, by his first wife,
Miss Patterson, is now under consideration. All
such questions, it appears, have to be submitted
10 u family council, consisting OF number of
high imperial functionaries. The demand for tho
settlement is said to have been made by Prince
Jerome himself and the expectation is, that ii
will forbid the Americans taking the name of Bo.
naparte. and will require them to be known by
the name of Patterson. They obtained letters Of
naturalization ten years ago. in which they were
designated as members of the imperial family
Now it is feared that this may be treated az
base ON which to found certain pretensons not
consistent with the previously declared illegiti-
macy.
Prince Jerome contends that his marriage with
Miss Elizabeth Patterson was null and void FROM
the beginning, as it was contracted between IL
youth of 10 and woman of %, without the con-
sent of his parents and the formaty of publica
tion. 1t was further declared to be null by the,
decree of l3O5. which dissolved the civil mar
ringe while the proper authorities of Paris sever
ed the ties of the religious marriage so that such
an union might have civil effect On the other
hand the Baltimore Bonapartes dispute the legal
ity of the decree Of 1905 and they adduce va.

They refer to the good faith of the parties in
