PiMjflM.] Th» Baltimore l«»»y>rtM. Baltimore, Nov. 18,1854. Jerome Bonaparte, eon of Jerome and nephew of Emperor Napoleon, who was on a visit to his cousin, the Emperor Louis Napoleon, is now in our city. While in France, himself and son, Lieut. Bonaparte, were both neutralized and made citizens of the French Empire. The father hod also conferred upon him the title of Prince, and the son was appointed to a lieutenancy in the French army. Our Baltimore Prince, however, seems to bear, his titled honors with becoming republican simplicity. He assumes no airs beyond other ordinary cit izens, and is seen daily mingling in the vo cations of business. The main passion and pleasure of his life appeal's to be the obtain ing, training and cultivation of horses. If I mistake not, he would rather hold the reins and drive a span of noble animals, with a handsome establishment, than wear the imperial crown. He entertains no po litical ambition, has never aspired to it, and probably never will. I saw him three days ago, working intensely for some hours, en deavoring to break one of his fine horses to harness. Towards this end did he apply his physical and mental energies with un tiring assiduity and iron will, as did the old Emperor in endeavoring to conquer Europe: and I must say that he succeeded better, for his purpose was finally accomplished, and the animal moved off quite pliantly. lie is a gentleman highly esteemed, unostenta tious, and a valuable citizen. There is a probability, however, that he may yet take up his final abode in France, though the owner of a very beautiful and valuable es tate here. His son, the lieutenant, an ex ceedingly amiable and accomplished young gentleman, never exhibited anv extraordi nary talent, though circumstances in his new sphere of life may bring out and dis cover the hidden gem. Resolved, That in no spirit of faction, opposition, but as law-loving and law-abid ing citizens, for the peaceful testing ,,f great fundamental principle, we again bin!) ourselves to stand by each other on all n » cessary occasions; and in cases of distraint by officers of the law, that we will purchase no property so distrained and offered f 0 ! sale repudiating all who, under such eircum stances, shall purchase, as thereafter una-ori tby our association and confidence; a J that with an abiding faith in a just and true issue, we hereby re-aifirm in every partly, lar our tax-pledge.
