demand made By Madame Patterson and jerome
Bonsparte was the liquidation and divisioa Of ths
succession Of the Primes jerome, and inasmueh az
anong.;hs grounds Of opposition 70 the demand is
one that the claim has bean already judged BY two
decisions Of the counsel de fae, which proclaimed
the nuIIity Of the marriage OF the 24th Of Deesn-
ber l803 and its invslidty even as regards proper
y, therefore,
al is expedient above all to examine the validity
Of this ground Of opposition, inasmuch II il Be
well founded il would establish . peremrtsry Ak
ceptlon to the present demand, and it would no
longer belong the tribunal 10 examine the other
grounds Of opposition, or 10 decide whether the
marriage is not null for having been contracted in
elandestine msnner, or whether Madame Elizabeth
Patterson could rely on her good faith in the legal
aceeptaticn OF the term, or what efficacy should be
attributed TO the DEGREES Of the 11th and Both
VentOse Of the year l3; and, in 6ne, whether the

cIaration of the acceptance BY Jerome B0naparte

The ITALIAN PARIIAMENT-SPEECH OF THE kNG.-
The Italian Parliament was opened on the 18th ut
by the King in person His Majesty in his speech
said:
in your wisdom. and IT is you devolves the taak
of her organization. You will establish the great
est administrative liberty, taking care At the same
time, that her unity be protected. Public opinion
Is favorable to our national tendencies. The En-
perOr Of the French, although assuring 10 us The
benefits Of noninterVentiOn, has deemed il fs.ing to
recall his envoy. This has excited our deep regret
without, however, affecting our gratitude. At Ma
genta and Salterino France and Italy have riyeted
ties of amity which will be indssoluble. England.
the ancient home Of liberty, has recognized O1r
right to dispose of ourselves We shall preserve
an imperishable remembrance Of the support which
her good offices have afforded us.
IAN ilustrlous Prince having ascended the throne
of Prussia sent my ambassador in order % testify
TO him our sympathy for his person snd for the
