PARIS. Feb. s3.-Prlnce Jerome Napo-

10 which he protests against the proposed
prescription OF the French Princes, and in-
sists that such treatment would be un-
fair. The Bonapartists, be declares, were
defenders OF the revolution. What the
republic requires to increase it's strength
and prestige, he says, ls reform OF its
methods of government. The expulsion
of the princes would tend to the destruc-

also takes occasion TO criticise the man.
ner in which the President is chosen. He
says that the people should be allowed TO
elect their own chief magistrates, and that
the method which gives the power OF Sc
lection TO the national assembly should be
abolished.
ADDRESSED TO PARLIAMENT.
The letter is addressed to the Senate
and Chamber OF Deputies. 1t declares
that the bill OF expulsion against tae
Princes is revival OF the lOi les suspects.

Prince Napoleon declares that he recog-
nizes that the republic Is the logical out
come Of universal suffrage; "but," he
adds, ''the present republic Is a mere oil
igarchy. IL exists by the persecution OF
adventurers wasting public money and
resulting in national isolation and public
poverty" In conclusion the Prince eX-
claims: "If IL be crime for a lover OF
France to speak out Of her danger then

Paris with genuine sensation. The
