manifesto prefessedly issued by Prince
Napoleon criticising the present situation
and claiming the Napoleonic inheritance.
PARIS, Jan. 10 Prince Napoleon's man
ifesto was found placarded in several
quarters in Paris. The prince dwells on
the impotence and incapacity of the gov
eminent, the disunion of parliament and
the decadenoe of thHarmy and finances.
He declares religion is attacked, and the
observance of the concordat can alone
establish religious peace. The prince re-
iects any compromise with the Royalists.
He adverts to the Plebiscit by which the
empire was sanctioned. The manifesto
was torn down by the police.
LONDON, Jan. ia Paris dispatch says
the manifesto of Prince Napoleon was at
first regarded as a hoax, and many still
doubt its commences. Figaro has been
seized. If the manifesto is genuine the
prince will be ordered to quit France, and
will be conducted to the frontier in the
event OF his refusal
PARIS, Jan. 16.-Prince Napoleon was
arrested this afternoon and conducted to
the conscergerie.
In the chamber of deputies, Jolibois,
Bonapartist, interpellated the government
the subject of the arrest of Prince
Napoleon, He said the issue of the mani
festo was simply a press offense. The
prince, he declared, had only exercised his
right, and Deves, minister of JUS
tice, had exceeded his authority in
causing the princes arrest. Deves re-
Piled that the manifesto had not only been
published but placarded. This fact had
been brought to the attention of the judi
cial authorities, who, in the exercise of
the complete freedom of action they
possess, had issued a warrant for the arrest
of tbs prince. Deves added that the mat
ter would in due course come before
the tribunals. The government was firmly
resolved to see the law strictly observed
by all citizens of the republic, not except
ing Prince Jerome. Aloquel, Republican,
vice president of the chamber, brought
forward motion prohibiting the presence
of any member of the former French dy
nasties. NJ. Fenillie, Republican, moved
the order of the day, approving the action
of the government in regard to Prince
Napoleon. The motion was adopted by a
vote of417to 89.Bisaccia said hewas anxious
to separate the personality of kings and
princes from the present incident. Loud
protests followed this remark, and the
president of the chamber ruled that the
words "kings and princes were unconsti-
tutional. Urgency was then voted for
FIouqueti's motion by 328 ayes to 112
noes.
4 member of the staff of LIE Temps in
terviewed Prince Napoleon to-day on the
subject of his manifesto. The prince
said he had issued the manifesto
because everything was going
wrong in France. The republic
had proved its 'incapacity for governing. 1t
had not received the sanction of popular
vote. The Republicans were wron g in
not having resorted to plebiscit fewyears
ago, when they would have secured 5,000.-
600 SURFACES. Prince Napoleon denied
that he had any personal interest in the
matter. He said he was the supporter Of
the scrutin de liste because he believed
under the present system, the executive
was governed chiefly by local in
terests. He should like to see at
the head of the republic man of the ma
ton elected by the nation as in the United
States. Let the people," said the prince,
appoint Grevy if they pleased; but at any
rate free the executive from the influence
of the deputies elected by mere arondiss-
ments. With the present chamber of
deputies it was impossible to hope for
anything. Gambetta had failed to Undue
it with the principles of government and
where he had failed none could hope to
succeed Prince Napoleon denied
that he aimed at personal
power, the. coexistence of which, with the
4[o Of
and parliamentary control was, ne said,
impossible. IF Count de Chambord were
to attempt to ascend the throne, he, Prince
Napolean, would be first to seize musket
and mount the barbados. The prince
said he believed a parliamentary regime
only practicable under con-
stitutional monarchy. He was
convinced of the perfect legality
of his manifesto. Competent persons, he
said, had approved its terms and had af
tirmed that the placarding of it was legal.
MARsEIL1Es, Jan. 16.-The Ex-Empress
Eugene has again written Rouher in re-
gard to her gift of the castle, which the
municipality refused as irregular. She
wishes to know whether the offer will be ac-
cepted. If so, deed of gift will be drawn
up.
New YORK, Tap. 1e.-The WerId has
special cable from Paris upon Prince Ma
poleoa's proclamation and his arrest
leading member of the conservative Re-
publican party said 90 the correspondent
the prince had shown a keen appre-
citation of the situation. That
the impending financial troubles of
France cannot, in my judgment,
much longer be averted. We have been
voting money away in every direction to
satisfy every wretched little politician
from the channel to the Pyrenees, building
railroads which are not wanted, and which
bleed paying lines to death; building pal
aces in villages; layishing money of the tax
payers upon unr3mun. tive objects, and
heaping up obligations with which, SO
various and SO weighty are they, no men
now in the government, and no man likely
to enter the government, is in my iudg-
ment competent to deal. All this means
disaster of kind which most irritates and
alarms the small proprietors of France,
the mass of the people. Now
the prince, who, whatever else may be said
of him, is shrewd observer and keen man
of business, sees all this, scents mischief
in the air and comes forward before the
crash to concentrate and attend upon him
self and the NapOleonic claims Observe
