The Prince is not exactly model man, statesman,
or parliamentary orator. But the world know since

before, that he does not lick intelligence. There is
in him a curious reproduction Of mental ~ well rs

But the A,n,eur report, noting as !, does the noisy
Interruptions that broke in the Princes discourse,
will give yoa but faint idea Of the famous Satur
days session Of the "graye and iustrious" Senate.

mated from our Washington Congress, can in this

Slavery tines and Of the Congressional ring.

Minister Billaut. the intimately authorized mouth
piece OF Louis Napoleon on the American question,
which were called forth by the Marques dc Boissy,
