Tho European mail Of the 5th OF October brings rs
the following complete text OF the note lately
addressed by Prince Napoleon to party OF Ameri.
cans In London and which mas been already noticed

foiiows:-

man the address you have sent me on the occasion
OF my last speech IN the Senate; am thankful to
you Tor it. TO DO understood and approved by the
citizens OF o free country which has given such
great examples Co the world IS q fattering reward.
AT the dawn OF liberty from the very earliest days
OF the reciprocal emancipation OF our two countries
America ANA France have been friends, and have
snpooi tea each other: the founder OF our dynasty
has always been your friend. Was II not he who,
for mankind, ordered France TO go into mourning
for your great citizen? Have not fought together

conspicuous at the close OF the last century, con-
tinues to this day. at tho time when we seek TO
tablsh liberal democracy you are barely emerg-
ing from giants struggle undertaken to destroy
that foul Institution OF slavery which dishonorcd
the erena ~ sey are
two peoples, bur our object Is the same. With the
help Of Heaven we hope We may succeed. We will
prove that In the Old as IN the New World liberty
can and must develop itsolf-emancipate itself from
the thrald0m OF the past without rushing into ut0
