- Z MOE QUESTION.
Is THE PRINCE or ALGERIA HEIR, TO THE
FBExcu EsrlRE? That AIN heir to the house Of
the present Emperor of France is bornis known
by this time throughout the civilized world, but
the question will be asked is he licirto the throne
Of Francc2 Most of our readers have probably
forgotten that the three most considerable of the
Continental Powers of Europe, exclusive of
France, some time since settled that qucStion.for
themselves. They determined, four years ago,
that no male descendant of Louis Napoleon
should be regarded as the hcir-apparcnt Of his
crown. The empire, according to this arrange
when he died, Russia, Austria, and Prussia each
pledged their word to each other "to restore the
Legitimate heir Of the throne" and to recognise
no other. The treaty in which this declaration
war embodied and these pledges made was sign
cd at Warsawlin March, 1859, by Austria, Prus-i
STA, sand Russia. As it has not been published
in this country that we know OF, VIC lay before
our readers:
''In the name of the. Holy Trinity
'"Fhcir Majesties, the Emperor of Austria, the
King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia,
considering that the laws of succession to the
throne form the basis Of European order, and
that in this respect u community of response
bility and interest exists between all European
States:
-
France is concerned the house of Bourbon is
the embodiment of the principle of hereditary
sovereignty, and the Count de Chambord the pre-
sent head of this house ~ So So
"Tllat the power exercised by Monsieur Louis
Napoleon is power dc JIcfO, which cannot cvT
ven be supported upon the plea ofthe apparent
right of the Emperor Napoleon, since the latter,
in the first article ofthc peace Of Fontaineblcau,
voluntarily resigned, himself his descendants
and successors, and likewise for all the members
of This family, all rights and claims to the soycr-
eighty and government of France,'or of the king
dom of Italy, or of any other country; -

power of the PcSidcnt of the French Republic

"For these and many reasons which it is SUI
pcrfluous to account, the signcrs of this compact
regard itas their duty unanimously to assert be-
forehand the attitude which they would assume
in case any of the following contingencies should

.'If Prince Louis Bonapartc, now President of
the French Republic, should he named Emperor
for life by the voice of universal suffrage, the
Powers will only recognise this new form Of the
elective empire after having demanded from
Prince Louis Bonaparte explanations of hesigni-
fication of this new title and after having drawn
from him the pledge, first, that he will respect
existing trcaticSss second that he will not seek
forbcar anypretention To found dynasty.
"In case Prince Louis B0DaParte should de
clare himself hereditary Emperor, the powers
will not recognise the new Emperor, but will
send to the French and all the other Governments
protestatiOD, grounded upon the principles of
public right and the literal Interpretation of
treaties aThcy will then; according to circum-
stances consult upon now measures.
Sin case that a rising of the people or army
shall ovcrthrow the Government of Prince Louis
Bouaparte, or in case he should die, tile Powers
pledge themselves to favor the restoration of the
heir of the legitimate throne by all means in
thcirppwer, and to recognise in future no dynasty
but tslatiof tho Bourbons." ,+l...Eg -, I
It is not our purpose at present to dcyel6pc
the whole significance of this curious document.
a little reflection will suffice to show the differ
encc of the circumstances, which now surround
the Imperial cradle in its palacc-home and those
(which arc in prospect hereafter for the infant
