BONAPARTIsT FfCTIoNs
The Bonaparti5ts here and ther friends in Eng

living in poverty at Chiselhurst Last week FOrdre
| journal belonging to- and, so far, inspired by NJ
Rouher said in expatating on the moral life OF
Prince LOUIS Napoleon that even had his tastes
drawn him toward life of pleasure he would not
have been able for want of money, to crafty Them
lie was debarred by the emphasis of his purse from
indulgng IN the amusements which society is agreed
in thinking young Prince ought to indulge In, and
| he was too proud to "sponge" on gay, wealthy,
and ilustrOus friends. Ii was to guard against
| this misrcpre sentation being found out that all
| the Imporahst organs, III obedience to a Telegram
from the ex-Empress herself, did not in giving 1.-THE

the exception Of his legacy to Prince Victor. At
| Chiselharst they fel. how damaging it would be
to the reputation of tne LOUIS Napoleon family If 1t
came out that the Prince could, after bequeathlng
the bulk of his estate to his mother leave 800
900 to cousins and personal friends, and $1,000 a
year to his two servants. The conclusion they APP
| pretended which would be drawn III France was
that the nest of the Empress was well feathered
with plumber, and that her wealth accounted for the
| defalCatiOns the accounts OF Louis NapOleOnS
| Government, brought last week TO light by q
| committee OF the Chamber presided over by III
GuIchard. This investigating body have laid their
hands on documents proving that for several years
| $1,000 soldiers and marines were charged for III
the estimates, which did not exist. THIS evidence
was supposed to have been destroyed In the burning
of the Finance Ministry. The purchase Of an
| American war-ship which proved to be unsea-
worthy, and had to be sold as Old iron before IL was
| ever put into commission was another job In
which the Court and gang OF American hangers
on to it participated; whist these peculatlohs
pursued INTO the sources whence the Ministers who
share the responsibility Of the Imperial family and

mittee will report in favor of a seizure OF what
estates are legally available to the treasury.
