Paris, January 11. The city is greatly
excited over the tragedy which occurred
yesterday afternoon. Prime Bonaparte's
version of the affair is furnished to tbe
journals to-day, by M. Paul Cassaguac
He says the Prince made the following
statement to biui, ou his honor:
" M. pouville and M. Victor Noire came
to my residence with a menacing air, with
tbeir hands in their pockets, and presented
aslettor from Mr. Paschal lirousset. I said :
' It is Kocheforl and not his creatures that
I seek.' ' Kead the letter,' replied Noire.
1 had my hand on my pistol in my pocket.
'Are you responsible lor it?' I asked. At
this I received a slap in the lace from
Noira, when I drew my revolver aud fired
at him. 1 otiviiie crouched behind a chair,
and from the tiruteciou that afforded.
aimed his revolver at me, but. he could
not gut it to go off. I tired at him while
he was in that p-.s-itiou, when he ran out
of the room, lie stopped in the next
room, aud again turned his pistol toward
me. 1 tired at him again, and he tied.' "
The Journal Official, of this morning,
contains a decree convoking the Cham
bers for the purpose of bringing action

j cide upon tbe charge of homicide against
Prince Bonaparte. The Prince belonging

The Bonaparte whose si"" wm. "W
forgotten, and who by the rauiv-f ' j
rreucb journalist has so suddenly Woffle
into notice, is not u young, thoughtless i
Hotspur, lut a man of City-five years, j
whose passions must havo cooled down by 1
age not less than by the Tiniasifntlna of
one of the most ad venturous careers that I
can be imagined. He is the fourth son of j
Lucien Bonaparte, late Prince of Canitio. i
He is a very energetic man, whose bravery I
is not doubted by anv one on either con-
tinent, who knows his history. In lS3i
he served as a Major of cavalry, and dis
distinguisb'd himself as a daring soldier, j
In 1836 we find him in the Roman Slates, j
where he fomented trouble to the Papal
See. When the Pope's oliee attempted j
to arrest hun. he killed (he commanding j
captain in a i-.it right. but ho received such
wounds himself tatat lie had lo surrender, i
After a long detention in the fort San
Angelo, he succeeded in escaping and i
came to this country. In l4s he was j
elected a member of the Assemble. Con- i
stituante.by the Coraicans, and invariably !
voted with the Republican party. He
never was on vert ur od terms with the
present Kmperor; did ii"t often visit him j
in the 'fuiiieries, but usually liv d in re- !
tiremeut at his rcuiilt-aco at Auteuil. In
the vii inity of Paris. Like all of the
clever children of Lucien Bouaparle, he I
received an excellent education, aud is,';
though tho least celebrated among his
brothers and sisters, yet a well educated
man, who is conversant with arts aud lit-
! eralure.
Tbe St. Looia HejtuMican, in a sensible !
I and dispassionate article, from which we 1
extract the above, says:
The presumption 'seems to bo that a
mau at such an age.and in such a position j
t as Prince Pierre Bonaparte occupies in j
! France, and with the full knowledge of '
the troubles and dangers to which any '
! inexcusaoie crime committed by him !
would expose the present dynasty", must I
1 have acted under influences sufficiently
strong to make him forget every pruden
tial consideration. Tho provocation in- I
citing an old man who is one of the near- j
est relations of the Kmperor, to kill
another man, at a time when tha dynasty
itself is in a most critical condition, must
have been such as to make Prince
Pieirs forget everything else, except
that he is a mm St honor who dared not
suffer a gross I It w t'out at once re
venging it. Wo know that Ihe whole of
Rochvlwrt's political science concentrates
in the abuse of the Bonaparte family. He
has published one journal af'er another,
with the only aim of insulting Napoloon,
his wife and his relations. His laai publi
cation be called tbe MareiUaie. U one
of its numbers, it seems, he insulted
Prince Pierre. The Prince challenged
Rochefort. Rochelorl answers that he bad
uot signed tne insulting aruoie, anu tuai
tbe Prtnoe. therefore, should challenge
the author of It, whose name (as the law
iu Franco requires) was at the bottom of
' the article. Were Rochetort as brave a
man as Me in a brawl-r, he would at once
i have seized an opportunity to tight, and

er this be so or not. it seems that the

to challenge Rochefort. A correspond

that all offices created by the Constitution
shall lie elected directly by the people,
asserting that every male person of prop
er age, not convicted of crime, as eligible
to office, and affirming the right o? uni
versal suffrage, and fixing the number of
law circuits and chancery divisions. Re
ferred. Caldwell's resolution, proposing a peti
tion to Congress, was indefinitely post
poned. ASSOCIATED l'KESS DISPATCH.
Nashville, January 14. The Constitu
tional Convention continued to-day to re
duce and refer propositions to amend the

quires a residence in the State of two
years, and in the county of one year, next
preceding the election, and the payment
of a poll tax. No business was matured.

! not after the records of the past, but looked I
solely to the availabilities of the present. !
Geii. John C. Brown, who was elected
I President of the Convention, ranked, in
: days gone by, as an old-line Whig. There
! could not bo found in all Tennessee a
j more decided Union man up to tbe mo
1 inent when hostilities commenced. On
i MOM than ono occasion in the early part
of 1H1 he railiud the waning hopes and

i turned lo the practice of tbe law, which
I ho bad abandoned for the more! bring

nently conae;yative; a prudent, upright
! and brave man, witn a judgment singti
1 larly clear, and a disposition rarely bal
anced by gentleness of demeanor and
I energy of purpose, and withal a gentle-
man of a graceful and handsome presence.
He is a brother of Neill S. Brown, who is
j also a member, and of whom elaborate
