NEw York, January lO.--The World S
London special says the ex-Emperor S
death was caused by embolism, and it
lwas so sudden that the last sacrament
Of the Roman Catholic Church could
not be administered, the priest arriving
after the Emperor had expired. The
body will be inferred at Chiselhurst Until
it can be removed to France. Applica-
ton will be made to the Versailles AS
sembly to permit the bones of the third
Napoleon TO rest in the Hotel des Inval-
ides, near the ashes of his illustrious
uncle. Universal sorrow prevails in
London among the French residents.
In this city the death of Napoleon
causes much comment, asd very varied
are the expressions OF opinion among
the friends Of the Communists and Re.
publicans, Of whom there a great many
here. The general feeling appears to
be indifference. The Courier des Etats
Unis today says: Napoleon died at
Sedan two years ago in the ranks Of the
French army, and among the rustic PEG
pie there was no sympathy, affection or
respect for the man who had brought
France TO the very brink Of de-
struction." 1t believes that his death
viii not have the least influence
whatever en- French political aspects.
The Frsnco-American this morning
says: Let US hope that the widow at
chisslhurst will have the good taste not
to encourage odiOus Bonapartist con-
spiracies, in preventing her son from en-
tering into the fatal path Of ruin where
Bonapartists would'conduct him"
The Herald, commenting on Napo.
Icons death, says: If he has left
France in chaos he has left the world a
legacy Of good. It was be who made
Italy INIT, and who brought about the
unihcahon Of Germany. II be failed,
It vas only as his uncle failed, and Is
Cesar failed, and, unless We greatly
mistake, bis death viii produce genuine
sorrov. The restoration Of the Empire
is rendered more certain BY his death. F"
TIE Tribune says: The preteusious
to the French throne must nov Be shared
between ne Bourbon and Orleans cou,.
ms, with but a limited on -''ook ior either.
