The AMERICAN BoNAPARrEs "A suit has
lately taken place between the Prince Jerome
Bonaparte and his son, issue of his marriage
with Miss Patterson, of Baltimore. The oh
ject of this suit was to settle the position and
the name which the Baltimore branch, father
and son, were to bear in France. The title
of Prince Of Montfort, which was formerly ap.
piled to the Baltimore Bonaparte by the Bona
parte family in Europe, has been refused by
both the son and grandson, then and now.
The suit in the present instance was to compel
the son and grandson to renounce the name
of Bonaparte lin France) and carry that of
Patterson instead. This the sons refused to
do, and so the father commenced suit. The
Court has decided in favor of the Americans,
who will continue to bear in France, as they
did at home, the name Of Bonaparte. The
debates on this singular trial have been the
cause Of much talk, in which the old ex.k king
is criticised in a manner that would not be
likely to fatter his vanity.
