NapOleOn's New Italian Manifesto
Prince Napoleon Not to Have q Throne.

Prince Napoleon Net to Have a Throne.
From the Paris Moniteur, Sept ISL
Some foreign journals have stated that the solution of
he affairs OF Italy would be impeded by the desire of the
Emperor OF the French TO found kingdom in Italy for
prince Of his house. These do not need refutaio
To deprive them of all value it suces without speak
ing Of the engagements entered into at vlafranca to
bring to recollection the acts and the words Of the Emperor
Napoleon before and since that epoch
From the London Times Sept. 301
At last the oracle has spoken After preternatural
silence of several weeks the Poentate whose will sways
the destines of Europe has pronounced the solemn
question whether French prince is to succeed the late
Austrian saraps in the government OF Central Italy,
The manifesto in the Aoniteur win be blow to
the hopes of Napoleon Jerome's partisans. That the
prince has party who have worked hard create
throne 10 place him is beyond doubt, and il would
be too great confidence in human virtue TO believe that the
imperial cousin himself has been without hope of
exalted rank, has been perfectly free from all in
reference in the matter Indeed the solution Of the TIA
Ian difficulty by placing the prince the throne of Tus
cany Modena and Parma, has been likely enough ever
since the Italians showed such anpathy their fugitive
rulers, and the indignation Of the world much
cited by the spectacle Of an unnecessary ending in
an incomplete and almost nglorious peace. We have
not the smallest doubt that Napoleon IT., when he
agreed to conditions of peace vafranca perfectly
sincere in his determination TO restore the Dukes What
may have been the secret springs Of action which pro-
duced this astonishing compromise say. The
stubborn resistance Of the Austans the strength the
fortresses the unconceaed dispeasure England the
open hostility Of Germany, even personal WEAKNESS and
the intense heat Of the weather. may have had something
to do with it. Bot from all learn of this event it
would seem that the French Emperor really aud truly
DESTROYS TO be quit of the and that he accepted the
restoration Of the Dukes he accepted the retention by
Austria OF the forresses and Of Vence-because Ka
would not yield on these points.
Still there much to suspect that the plan
Of providing throne for Prince Napoleon had con-
sidered prior to the war 1t is well known that from the
earliest period Of the yearfrom the time when the En-
peror made his hasty address to NJ Hubnerthc Prince

tisans were loud on the necessity Of tramplng the
treaties of 1885, of esa bishng the nationality Of Italy,
rather of driving out the Austrans, for did not

riage between the Prince and the daughter of
Victor Emanuel 1t is idle to say that there
nothing personal in this alliance that the Prince only
represented France and that the union only drawing
closer Of the bonds which linked together the policies Of
the Emperor and the King. Neither sovereigns nor
States in the present day require these family ties
the stability Of alliances which cemcned by
common interest France and Sardinia would have
equally fought side by side had neither Napoleon Jerome
nor Clotilde ever existed; and doubt whether one
Frenchman Sandman in ten thousand thinks on
the marriage as in any way increasing the friendship of
the two nations But to Prince Napoleon himself the
vantages obvious. BY marriage with an Italian
Princess became according 10 the easy code of ROYAL
naturalization Italian sufficiently govern any part of
the Peninsula which might be in search of sovereign
At the time will be remembered that the future
ton OF the husband Of Princess Clotilde was hardly
doubted, and the only question whether Iombardy
and yeneta 10 be united under his sceptre, or
whether his throne was TO be placed the banks Of the
Still the Prince had lost all chance The Dukes had
fed from Florence and Modena and the poor Duchess
Parma expelled by the subjects of her son. The in
terview ylarapca might have been expected end in
some stipulation in favor of the cousin who would have
fought SO brayey, and who only wanted opportunity

perors What chance then there for the Prnceg But
soon appeared that the Tuscans and their counrymen

have nothing TO say TO French Prince but unanimously
