t►ne of the• many pretenders to the heirship of the old
Bourbona died a aliort time since• in a► obscure corner of
France. Thin was the Baron Itielieniont, who, of all the
raWilinort Louis the Seventeenths, was decidedly the most
remarkable, and whose claims. even to the last, were re-
eognised by a considerable number of Legiti aaa ists. T4'll
memle•rs of the old imblesse were sit convinced that he was
really the Dauphin of Frlllarl., dint they clubbed together
to assure• hint sin R 11111 l ity of he reguula•ly re-
ecin dup to the day of his death. Ilia origin remains a
mystery. His partbrans may fairly assert that those• who
deny that lie was Louis XVII. cannot nay wit a he was.
Under the timer:anent of July hi. was twice committed ue
prison for politiealdenamstrations. In INN he presented
to the Provisional tiovernment a toe 'al setting funk
his claims. lii that year. ait!ed .tibseliptions from his
partisans, he founded a weekly pait 111,1 called the inarze,/,,
whose mission was to prove that all the otwnpants of the
throne since January 22, 171 Ci, had lobbed him of his in-
heritance. He had an intimate acquaintance of many
years' manding with several members of the Provisional
tiuve•ntmcut. In lircta he was a t'llow•prieeouer at Ste.
Pelagic with .I.runiial Nhinast and Flocon. They were
highly amused b, the woreti with which he spoke of him•
self as a non of Louis XVI., and familiarly addressed him
as Capet. They fully admitted that he prasesst•d one qua-
lity for which the Bourbons wen• famous, a great proli-
cit•ne•\ gastronomy. He Wa4 caterer fur they mess.
and Arnituid Marrast was heard to vial out to him in a
yoke that rang throughout the prison. " 'ap et. tray friend,
