The news Of the death of the prince i'm
perial, though known in London last even
ing, only reached Paris at o'clock this
morning. Not asingle Paris newspaper con-
tanned . notice of the event, which is of
greater interest to France than to any other
country. Such is the enterprise of the
French press! The event may be said to
have greatly shocked the public mind,
though it doubtless
HELPS TO CONSOLIDATE EXISTING NsT1Tu-
Is TIoNs.
Many Republicans participate in the gen
eral regret at the unfortunate end of the
brave young prince. Regarding the Bona
partists, the party is overwhelmed by the
news Of the princes death. They try to put
good face on the matter, and may try to
substitute another pretender to the throne of
France; but this will be of no avail. With
the death of the prince imperial the last
hope is gone from the Bonapartist party. M.
Paul De Cassagnac, the recognized leader of
the French imperialists, in article in his
journal, lie Pays, after an outburst of grief
for the dead young prince, puts the question
which every one in France is asking:
"DoEs THE EMPIRE DIE WITH THE PR1NcE?''
And he answers it in the same breath as fol-
lows: ssNo; there is an heir whom the
prince designed should be his successor
Prince Victor, eldest son of Prince jerome
Napoleon, q youth of warm heart and bright
intellect, whom his pious mother had rem
dered worthy of us, and worthy of France.
Were there no Prince Victor, there would
be still the great dominant idea-the system
which prevails and impressed itself. We're
even Bonapartism in peril, imperialism
would be stronger than ever"
REPUBLICAN VIEWS.
But LIE Temps is of a different opinion.
] 'For the great majority of the nation says
that journal, 'the empire had forever disap-
peared, but imperialism still preserved mi
nority of Parisians. This minority the
death of the last representative of the Cesar
ian regime has just restored the republic .
La France regards the prince imperial g
death as ''the expiation of tho coup d d'etdt
of the I'd of December just as the death of
the Duke of Reichstadt was the expiation of
the 18th of Brumaire.''
THE 1MPER1AL1sT PROGRAMME.
There was q meeting of the Bonapartist
senator's and deputies this afternoon, at M
Rouher's, for consultation. At the meeting
the suggestion was made, and received with
considerable approval, that all immediate
(Propagandas for the restoration of the en-
pire should be suspended, but that car.
should be taken to keep alive the imperialis
sentiment until the eldest son of Prince
} Jerome should arrive at his majority
when, if affairs march rightly, an attemp
for the restoration of the empire Nigh
be made. It is rumored that NJ Rouher ha,
the testament of the prince imperial, disin
heriting Prince Napoleon jerome, and con
stituting Prince Victor, the latter's eldes
sou, as the heir to the throne of France.
THE HER-APPARENr.
| Prince Victor or, rather, Napoleon Vic
! tor jerome Fredefick-is now II years o
age. His mother is Princess Clothilde
5 daughter of the late Victor Emmanuel Q
c Italy. He is q boy of promise. The bloc
+. of the Prince of Savoy and of Napoleo,
:, courses in his veins, and it is said that th
imperialists think to find in him a figure
head for the eventful restoration of the en-
pire; but it is absurd cant TO talk of settin
aside the senate, the consulate and tn
: PLe6ieite of 1870. So the Republican Plo
. Plon remains the heir, if heir there be. m
