PARIS, JAN 16.-Prince Napoleon's manifes-
to was found placarded in several quarters of
Paris. The Prince dwels on the importance
and incapacity of the Government, the dis
union of Parliament and decadence of the
army and finances. He declares that religion
is attacked and that the observance of the con-
cordat can alone establish religious peace. The
Prince rejects any compromise with royalists.
He is adverse to the plebiscites by which the
empire was sanctioned. The manifesto was
torn down by the police.
LONDON, Jan. 16.-A Paris despatch SAYS
The manifesto of Prince Napoleon was at first
regarded as hoax, and many still doubt its
geDuineness. The Figaro has been seized. If
the manifesto is genuine the Prince will be or
dered to quit France and be conducted to the
frontier in the event of his refusal.

by Dynamite.

says:-The beach from Harwich to Aldeburgh
is strewed with wreckage from the British ship
Pride of the Ocean, from Hamburg for New

led to the conjecture that the loss of the vessel
was caused by an explosion of dynamite.
Prince Napoleon Arrested.
PARIS, JAM 1871 Prince Napoleon has Just
been arrested for issuing manifesto which is
regarded as revolutionary by the French Gov
ernment.
In the Deputies to-day urgency was voted by
1913 ayes to liz noes for the motion brought for
ward by nj. Floquet, Republican, prohibiting
the presence in France or Algeria of any mem
-
bois, Bonapartist, interpellated the Govern
ment on the subject of the arrest of Prince
Napoleon. He sa the issue of the manifesto
was simply an offence. The Prince, he de-
clared, had only exercised the right, and NJ.
Devils, Minister OF Justice, had exceeded his
authority in causing the Princes arrest.
M. Devils replied that the manifesto not
only had been Published but placarded. This
fact had been brought to the attention of the
judicial authorities, who, in the exercise of
the plata fraadopo 0f fl7ox,, "a
had issued a. warrant for the arrest of the
Prince. M. Devils added that the matter
would in due course come before the tribunals
The Government was firmly resolved to see the
law strictly observed by all citizens OF the re-
public, not excepting Prince jerome.
A dispatch from Paris says the French gov
ernment has been guilty of the greatest blum
der possible IN arresting Prince Napoleon: 1t
would have been wiser for the government to
have ignored his manifesto or TO have simply
conducted him to the fronties. The offending
placards were printed on sheets of red, yellow
and buff colOred paper. The manifesto has
caused great sensation. The evening papers
OF all shades OF politics reproduced it and a
majority printed leading articles on the sub
Ject. The Bonapartist members of the depu-
ties have held meeting and decided to pro-
test by every means in their power against the
action OF the government in arresting Prince
Napoleon. Meanwhile the Prince although
Kept strictly secluded is treated otherwise with
utmost consideration at the Concergerie.
Ii Floquet's motion in the Chamber of De-
puties be adopted not only Prince Jerome but
Prince Victor who is now serving with bat
terry at Orleans, and Prince Louis who is resi-
ding in Paris will also be exiled. The Bona
partists will once more form a compact body
which in future must be taken into account.
