The cable dispatch published yeSter-
day announcing the death of the Prince
Imperial in the Zulu war created con-
siderable interest in this city, especially
among the Baltimore branch OF the
Eouaparte family and their immediate
friends. some speculation was INDUCED
iu as to the possibility of one Of these
Bouupartrs being called upon in the
event of q restoration OF the Bonapartic
dynasty succeeding 20 the throne of
France. To the credit OF Mr.. Charles
Joseph Bouap2rte's good judgment and
sense, however, Il may be sud that no
disclaims any part or interest in such
chjmerical schemes and does not regard
the prospects OF either himself or his
elder brother. Colonel Jerome Napoleon
