antees, but resolution. declaring that
by the death of The Prince Imperial

ultimately pissed with only two dis
senting.
M. Rirrett and Prince Joachim Mu.
rat, followed by n,Jst of those present,

The Times in a. leading article gays
that it is certain that NM. R3uher and
DeCAssagnac wnnld have opposed the
recognition of P. ipce Jerome Napoleon
if they had seen any chance of keeping
the B ,napsrtists together under anoth-
er leader. DcCassagDsc's organ, the

address of Pnpce Jerome to the dele
cation.
