LOUIS NAPOLEON AT HAM.
•
The *mantic visit, desciibedi in tke following
sketch, was paid to Louis Napeltion iftiB4k:bY a n
American, who pahlished a lengtli3r account of it in
1849,* after the prince was elected President.of the
French Republic. This volume we have conyves-
Red into an article, preserving the urigioiti form, and
using such liberties with the at4thor'i 1:;n
-guage as were necessary to giro ccstitiOuity to an
abriged narrartve., The author seems to have been
more of an imperialist thane republicanfl or, rather,
from - his : personal sympathy perhaps! with "the
prince,". his opinions appear coincideuuwith Dula
partism, which profess to unite both extitemer, in an
•
imperial republiclaism. .
Inpassing from Philadelphia to New-York, in the
summer of 1845, jost previous to me departure for
Europe, I stopped at the princely, residence of the
late Joseph Bonaparte, ex-king of Spaht, ; to make
Ines Odieux to the young Prince de Musignano. • On ,

France; why not make, an effort to see my :unfortu-

tfOrsay alone was sanguine. I mentioned the dif
ficulty of my heiug an American. "You have hit
it exactly," returned this ready tactician; "just be-

of the interior, saying that you are a resident of the
United States. an old acquaintance of. Prince Louis,
and, from friendly motives, desire to pay him your re
spects during a brief %isit to France." This adi ice
struck me as excellent, and I promised the count to
carry it literally iuto effect. Perhaps it was a fort
night after my arrival in Paris, during which I had
abandoned and resumed my project half a dozen
times, that I suddenly, one day, sat dcnvu and wrote
to the Minister of the Interior, in the way suggest

my hotelone day, I found that en officer of police
had been there making inquiriesiboiit me; and next

On the announcement of my name. sty -business
seemed perfectly known, and I was conducted to the

where I was received with great courtesy. "The
