Important Debate in Parliament.
Correspondents Il The Chicago Tzitune.1
PARIS. Tnesday. May 80, 1865.
mentioned only very briefly week ago
the remarkable speech delivered by Prince
Napoleon ut Ajacc:o, in Corsica, on
'nent to TIE Emperor Napoleon and bis bro
thcfs. Events which hare sinc7 occurred re-
fpcct:nS this speech make It .ecessary for nc
to revert more fully to Its contents. The
Fr!nce PROCESSES to give almost a complete III
oE.aphy CT the Bonaparte family. In this
fat'tau The figure and life Of the first Napo-
Icon occupies OF course the most prominent
position But there arc many points Of view
in which the career Of Napoleon may be re-
gasdet- Tho present Emperor, for instance,
lives 10 dwell upon The character Of his srcat
1elstiTe, chiefly in what is called a cnnserva-
tisc lDiat of view, to hold him up as q re-
stor1r q F-l'gioa and o-dez, md to represent
him as the suh1uer Of tho revolution, quita
as much as the offspring Of Its principles.
NOT ~ fl:ner Sapotton. Who regards aud
resentat;v. Of Democracy trium oha2t over
u. Old regime, and the propnEat0r. even by
fHcc, If nee ssary, throughout tbs European
continent sud ihr world, Of the principles Of
l7s9. He holds up his memory to admEra-
tlun (Thether truly Or falsely, Justly or un-
!asily, ! 20 not stop - inqui5e.) chiefly. on
this ground, and praises or blaues Napoleon
ae7oEdipg as b. adhered TO or departed from
the !int oI policy thus marked out for him
II was #. this way that the Prince was led In
hls sieeth to Iuahc sucn frequent and hand
some illusions to th. United States and to
the feelsrg which ac,Eated Napoleon toward
America Thus he reminded hts hearers that
the Emperor, on the 15ta December, 1909,
m.de all his army wear mourning whea the
news Of the death OF Washington asrived.
because ihat goat man md his army
fought, like ourselves, for liberty and equal
fty." Again, the Prince fully approves Of
re ast BY which Sspo!con ceded
"hccause," as he said at the time, "F1aace
carpot keep those colonies, Which mnst all
belong to the A1nrricln Republic befora fifsy
1snrs are oycr. The Prince recalls, top, the
sfr gular coi2csdence Of tie treaty for ths ces-
sion Of the Fnrch Provinces to Amer;c, be-
por. unity TO quaiifs the late rebellion as & hc
uujnstitia!le revolt # an aEistoclacy OF a fen
thousand land proprietors against the most
liberal aud respected government In tae
World" There ate man5 similar passages.
which have Eo RON to quote. Ths Prince
hnmrs sere:els the marriage Of Napo!soa
with IN Austrian Arch Duchess, and repud.-
atts all close alliance With Austria. On the
contrary, hs applau1s the first Emperor for
his condemnation and abolition of the tem,o.
r.! power Of the Pope, aud, In fact, for eyt4v
aet IN which lle showed himself III. leaier Of
democracy nnd the true propayator Of the
principles Of the revolution.
hoE there Was much In the above ep:cct,
which grated upon the cars Of the Court, aud
enTe o1snse at the Tpileries. The
EmpressErgent and her clrrle ore said
to have resented The speech as
k!nd OF covert and contemptuons attack at
tack upon them and their delegated autAori-
IS no doubt they urged the Emperor strongly
70 visit tt with some mark Of hts disp1easurs.
Unfortunately, aud injudlc!ous]y, as ven
tufe to think, the Emperor has yielded either
20 their solicitations or his own fcelings. He
Nlcte and published IN the Ioaitr:r ol Stature
eonsin, that the latter Immediately IT,
Piled to It by res{gnins lis high
eflce of Vice President Of the PRIV
Council, ard even that Of President Of
the Commission Of the Universal Exhibition.
IN thoTf, . complete and public breach ind
quarrel has taken place between the Empe-
1or and the Prince. on the broad ground, in
the pub ic cyc, that the latter is too ad-
yan.ed in his liberalism. too dem 7cratlc, too
aggressive, fol the former. This fact Is sert-
ous, and must add considerably to the weight
q ca.e which seems to ia.l just nor upon
the Emperor. H9 friends, too, are fast Dr.
1nE around him. The other day it Was D.,
MoIny now.the Ma sllal Masnan-who com
maHdtd all the troops iu Paris during the
coup dffat, and has continued In the eame
cunnand ever since-has just died. There
