The Florence correspondent Of the Newark
Advertiser closes letter dated November
81. ~ follows:
sst'he King and Queen OF Prussia mads
their grand entrance heres day or two since,
and took possession OK the fne Hotel DO Ia
Villa, turned into palace for the royal pair
and suite. The coriege comprised twenty
carriages and wagons, from the last OF which
sauce pans and tin kettles hung dangling, az
If mocking with their discordant rattle the
pomp and circumstance Of that royalty OF
which they brought up the rear! But kings
must take their cuisine, as we'll as their dia-
monds, about with them.
"Ex- President Pierce happened to elodg-
ed at the hotel demanded for old Frederick
William, when the order came to vacate it,
The ecstatic landlord made haste to ncquaint
his guests Of the honor intended him, limiting
alike to one and oil the necessity OF seeking
other quarters, which hint was differently re-.
ceived by different temperaments, but by no
one so amiably es by the ex President, who
conceded in the blandest manner the right OF
an ex King TO turn him, Democratic ex-
President, out of doors. Not so stiff up
per Tipped Southerner, of family and money,
who had been lodged there himself like any
king for some weeks, and who, on receiving
the notice, sent the poor old king and inno-
cent landlord together to very bad place,
in free republican style, end ordered his car

everybody knows his amiabls weakness for
never having been able to say no in his life,
and the crushing consequences TO the polite
executive, when he found himself sometimes
between the upper and neither milestone at
the meeting OF cross-purposes in two indl-
vidaais, te each Of whom be had said fes.,
The only wonder is that, when he bowed the
landlord to the door, saying he was too hap

him, like the amiable son who said, Il 90,

found by the King still occupying the apart

The Paris correspondence Of the Times has
the following account of a quarrel which
has sprung up between the American and
the French branches OF jerome Bonaparte's
family:
cit appears that Prince Napoleon, the son
of old Jerome by his second marriage, is
intensely jealous OF his American nephew,
young Jerome N. Bonaparte, who is now
captain in tho French Imperial Guard. At
the instigation Of the Prince, the Emperor
was induced to appoint commission to ex-
anime into the legitimacy Of the American.
The committee appointed consisted OF cabi-
net ministers, bishops, judges, &C., all men
OF the highest ability and standing. The ev-
idence went to show that old Jerome was
married to Miss Patterson, Of Baltimore, by
priest Of the Catholic church, and that the
marriage was dissolved by Napoleon |. The
| church declared the marriage valid, and the
first Emperor asserted that it Was invalid by
the law Of France, which declared that no
Prince Of the blood Imperial should marry
without his consent. Here was direct con-
aiet between Church and State, the religious
ond civil law. The committee was in q
qnandary and failed to decide. Bitter blood
| has, OF course, arisen between Prince Napo-
leon and Captain Bonaparte. The captain
/ ia fayorite with the army, and is liked by
the Emperor, but the latter is supposed to ia
vor Prince Napoleon from reasons of state
policy. During the recent visit Of Mr.. Je-
| rome Bonaparte Of Baltimore, and his son,
/ Captain Bonaparte, TO Paris, q visit which
extended over period Of six months, they
had no interview with the Emperor, and their
communication with the Pnlais Royal was
| limited to few formal interviews with the
| Prince Napoleon and the Princess Matilda.
| The captain is absent now on six months
/ furlough in the United States, his father
having preceded him home some weeks. The
captain is very popular in France, and men
Of family openly espouse tEc cause Of his
family against his relatives. Ii only depends
upon himself to be leading man ia the
country, in spite of the Palais Royal and its
| influence"
