FhlN OH NAPoIfhON In NEW YORK
Yesterday the Prince Napoleon. Princes Clo-
tide, Dutches d'Abrantes and the imperial suite
and attendents remained on board the Jerome
Napoleon. The overpower ing heat of the day,
which rendered locomotion uncomfortable. was
the cause of this comple;s seclusion. There is
reason to believe, however, that the impe-
rial party will, before they leave, visit the
Sc ieral objects of interes. in and around New
York. 1t is the intention of his Imperial High
ness to visit Washington After paving his re-
spects to President Lincoln be will proceed
with his suit out TO the Far West, where he
will viste our primeval forests and apparently
illimitabe praries, and ioth in the wild sports
of those regons-perhaps including buffalo
hunting. He will then visit the Falls of Mag
ara, and embrace the opportunity of seeing
something of Canada. This programme, will,
no doubt, include visit to the rebel States.
The arrival of the yacht has created quite
sensation among our people, especially our
French fellow citizens. AS the Prince desires
to travel iucog. there can be but little learned
as to his intended movements This morning
the imperial party were on board of the trim
yacht. The quarter deck was covered with a
snowy white awning and side cloths to prevent
the qualification of the numerous curiosity SEEK
ers who had come off in small boats with the
hope of obtaining view Of Ike distinguished
personages.
Our reporter was enabled through the cour-
tesy of the vice CONSUL to visit the Yacht this
morning. On going along side he was cour-
teously received and conducted through every
part of the beautiful vessel. The imperial par
ty were seated on the quarter dock. The Prince
was himself smoking cigar, while the Prn-
cess and her companion, the Duches d dAbrantes;
were engaged in lively conversation, and in
watching the movements Of the vessels playing
arouu thc harbor.

The gentlemen of the party were strolling

The Jerome Napoleon is very long, rakish,
clipper built propeller steam yacht, of probably
1900 tons burden, and built for fast sailing.
She is rugged with three masts, polacca style,
and carries a large spead of canvas. Her en-

about l3 or IA knots, working at l2 atmos-

gilded streak from stem to stern.
The saloons and state-rooms are decorated in
a style of much splendor, the panels being done
in high colors, and holdings and carvings
heavily gilt. The state cabins of the Prince,
which are on deck, are fitted up in luxurious
style.
The Princes colors being green, the uphols-

panels of the dining saloon and officers
quarters exhibit this color in its various tints.

under foot, over head, and on every side. Egyp-

Prince, so he has fine bronze s,atuette OF one

chamber are in the Egyptian style. Portraits
of Napoleon !. are everywhere visible--busts--

apartments are two double-barreled rifles, mag
