THE BoNAPAnrE TRAGEDY
VICTOR NoIR.

The Pay has the following: 'It has
been said Of MIR. Victor Noir that he was
only twenty years of age; he was twenty
two. 1t has been said that he was mere
boy; he was man of herculean strength.
That he was good natured was true enough
but he was known to be of a violent tenn
per- His exceptional force was certainly
the best title he had to literary renown,
and that same muscular vigor was
probably the very quality that procured for
poor Victor the fatal honor of accompany
ing NJ Uric de Fouvielle. Poor fellow,
he had good heart, but it was ever his
hand, and that hand had sometimes the
mishap to fall on head or a cheek But
If it struck readily, there was no malice.
After havingt urned his back, Victor Noir
would think no more about the matter he

seemingly then to give fresh fury 10 the popular

Probably the action OF the people OF Paris nav

Germans to essay further resistance, and will
doubtless cause the flow OF much more blood al
Paris and elsewhere quite uselessly.
The action OF the Corps Legisla.if to.dav, in
declaring the forfeiture of the Napoleonic
dynasty, calls to mind the parallel action of the
French Senate after the capture or Paris by the
allies. The Legislative Assembly had been pro-
rOguCd and dispersed previously by Napoleon
but the Senate was hastily conyoked through
the agency of TalleyTand. and this BODY. the
members of (which had heretofore been the mere
tools of Napoleon in the endorsement of his most
deSp1tic DEGREES, now, without hesitation
named a provisional government, and declared
lst- That Napoleon BOnaParte had forfeited the
throne and the right of inheritance established
IN his family. II. That the people anil army OF
France were disengsged and freed from the oath
OF fidelity which they had taken to Napoleon
and his constitution.
10 probable that the forfeiture decreed TO-DAY
by the Corps LegislatIt against the present Ma
PoieOnie dynasty is to the same general effect As
taat above quoted, declared against the first
Napoleon.

steamship companies engaged in the North Ger

the declaration of war it was found necessary to
lay their vessels up in some secure places, to
avoid French cruisers, and the result now is that
some tweniy-eight steamers are lying idle in
