NEW YORK HERALD WEDNESDAY MARCH s ls7o-RlPLE


Prince Pierre Bonaparto's Ceii In LIN c>'"'
ciersoris-speciai Intsrview with tho Pris.
onsr.
Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte remains
in confinement In La Conciergerie Prison,
Paris, awaiting his trial on charge Of homi-
eide, arising from the circumstances which
attended the shooting of the late Victor Noir.
The case will be brought before the judge pre-
siding In the Chamber of Judgment Of the
High Court Of Justice within few days by
decree Of the Emperor Napoleon. In view of
the worldwide interest which attaches TO the
investigation, the manner In which the fatal
act was accomplished, the name and lineage OF
tho accused, and the public reputation and
family grieis of the deceased writer and
his relatives, HERALD special correspondent
in Paris visited the famous prison a few days
since and sought an interview with the Prince.
tive, the prisoner expressing sense Of the
most kindly recollections connected with his
visits to New York and Philadelphia, and Of
the high estimate which he placed on Ameri-
can sympathy in the present very serious crisis
Of his life career.
Our special writer reports the interview in
the letter which we publish to-day. The COM
munication will attract very general stten-
tion. He opens La Conciergerie to
the public view. In doing so he
recalls the great revelation and its
horrors; Marie Antoinette, her beauty,
sweetness Of manner and fate; she who would
mot lower head" at the entrance to her
cell. He also reveals the guillotine again.
Traupmann was confined in La Conciergerie
previous to bis execution He has been sue
ceeded by others charged with murder. The
house discipline, as win be observed, lie strict,
universal aud regularly and equitably
enforced. Prince Pierre Bonaparte awaits
his trial with resignation. He feels confident
Of an acquittal.
In connection With this Bonaparte- Noir
tragedy and the Montpenser- Bourbon duel
which has just taken place in Madrid,
it is well to remember that the illus
trious soldier and founder of the Bona
parte dynasty entertained mortal aversion
to the practice of the duello and the carrying
Of concealed weapons. Both were strictly
forbidden and designated for punishment in the
first Code Napoleon. He was severe in the
enforcement Of the penalties. The readers Of
the HERALD will remember that during the
post-mortem examination of the body of Prince
Jerome Napoleon, made some years since in
Paris, the surgeons were surprised to see
fattened bullet drop from the cavity Of the
chest On investigation it was found that
Jerome Bonaparte fought duel when young
man, was wounded, and that the bullet,
which could not be extracted at the time,
remained embedded in, It was said. the
septum Of the heart. He was afraid
to tell the then 'shead of the family" and
soon forgot all about it. An extraordinary
case, but one which was very nearly equalled
by the murdered Bill Poole after the Stanwix
Hall tragedy in New York. Our special let
ter from Paris on the subject of the Bonaparte-
Noir tragedy is in every respect attractive,
and, in moral and social point Of view, ims
portant.

PRIVILEGES TO FOREIGN YACHTS VISITING
AMERICAN PoRTs.-It is to be regretted that
the bill extending to English and French
yachts, belonging to regularly organized clubs,
the same privileges and immunities allowed
by England and France to American yachts
should have met with objection in the Com
mittee on Commerce of the House of Repre-
sentatives, as we are informed in our WASH
ington correspondence was the case. The
principal objection seems to arise from the
fact that the owners of such yachts are
wealthy men and financially able to pay the
duties which are required from the COM
mercial marine. This is very picayunish
view to take Of the subject, which is one Of
international courtesy and not one of dollars
and cents We trust that the Committee on
Commerce will act in a manner commensurate
with the dignity of great and wealthy
nation such as is the United States.
