Imperial. 1t is also reported that letters OF q
conciliatory character have passed between the
Prince and the Empress Eugene, and that the
latter is altogether disposed to adopt the sug-
gestions which have been made by many OF her
friends respecting the reconciliation with Prince
Jerome and combination of the interests of the
Bonapartist party.

correspondent OF the Daily Telegraph. "that when
Prince Louis Napoleon left his ll-fated expedi-
tion to the Cape he expressed his regret at the
step which his cousin had taken, remarking that
it he returned with slight wound he would have
done nothing to gain any prestige. and that il
he were killed outright that would be grave
misfortune. For. said he might imagine
that. for political at least might feel some
secret satisfaction at such result but declare that
such is not the case, and that if anything serious
to should find myself much embar-
rassed.' The Prince may have changed his
mind since. then, for circumstances often
create instantaneous revolution in mems
modes of judging Of things; but although the
position of chief of the imperial party may be
brilliant one certainly is not without its trials as
WELL What to justify the surmise that Prince
Napoleon is undecided to the course which he
should finally adopt is his extreme reluctance to
come forward When he received the pressing tele-
gram which informed him of the death of Prince
Louis Napoleon and summoned him instantly
to Paris he asked hesitatingly If it were
really official. Moreover it will be remembered
that Prince Napoleon delayed his departure
some say purpose to avoid an interview with M.
Rouher. Be this as it may. it is evident that the
who formerly went by the name of the Cesar
Declasse has displayed little eagerness to re-
spond the historical cry of lie Roi est mort
vive le Roll! The Prince may perhaps be feeling
his way and calculating the chances for and against
success, since it is certain that many of the Bona
partists will fall away and refuse to support him.
