onic family: IT write this letter to inform you
that the name OF NJ. Lucien Buonaparte is no
longer to appear on the list of Senators. He has
been absent five years from the territories Of
the empire, and, when Rome was added to these,
he left this country to cross the seas, and retired
to America. He has thus resigned his sena.
torial duties and dignity. AS President OF tho
Senate. we are bound to consider this rcsigna-
tion complete. When the will Of the French ma.
ton raised us to the imperial throne we had q
right 10 tho cooperation OF all those who, like
him, owed us n special duty. But he had given
himself over to a shameful passion for n woman,
whose manner of life had raised an
able barrier between herself and all decency,
and we decided that he could not DO included In
our hereditary line. Whereas our brothers wero

his duty should have recalled him to our side,
and 70 had n right to claim the services
OF the talents heaven had given him. He has
always been deaf to our call. and he has sought
refuge at last outside the empire. under the pro.
lection of powers which no knew had but scant
affection for our throne, and has thus made his
remuneration OF his duty to ourselves. the SEN

He has asked the Minister of Police for passports
for himself and the object of his guilty passion,
and no has gone far from the empire. which he
had no right to leave without special authority,
1t Is necessary to~the peace and tranquility OF
the State that he should not only cease to be a
member Of anv political bod In France, but that
neither he nor his children should ever return to
our empire"
