THE ORLEANS PRINCES.

The Count de Paris has addressed the following
letter to General Sickles :
Claremont, Sept. 11. 1862.
My deer General,—l have just read the letter you wrote
to the New York Timm in mower to the misrepresentations
circulated about our departure from America, and I haste*
to thank you for having taken up the pen under these cir-
minuteman.
Altheogh we are aniustomed to calumny avid diaries it,
nevertheless it is very gratifying to see the Isom put in their
true light, and our situation so well understood and ;ocularly
explained, especially by a member of the army, with
whets destinies we were asemisted during nearly a year.
We shall always remember that campaign with the army of
the Potomac a one of the beet and most interesting
epochs of our youth. It is with regret that we left
our companions in arms, and nothing can be more
valuable to us than such testimonies of remem-
brance and esteem. I need not add that our hearty
wishes still accompsny them, that the distance has only
strengthened the interest we take in the success of the
great cause far which we fought together.
Depend upon it, however ignorant and prejudicial may
be the public at large, there are still on this side of the
Atlantic some heart, who follow with emotion the struggle
of a great and free nation for her inatitutioas, and who cannot
telieve in the ultimate success of the efforts of a deluded
minority to establish a Dew community whose cornerstone
shall be so odious, so dangerous, and so precarious an insti-
tution as that of slavery.
Before ending this letter—for the bad English of which
moat apologise—let me still tell you, my dear general,
how glad I should be to shake bands again with you, and
to talk once more with you, of your winter quarters in that
wild ooroer of Maryland. or of the summer days when your
tent was pitched on the field of battle of Fair Oslo.
I beg you, my dear general, to believe nee always, very
tauly yoem, Loom Prunes* D'OILLIASS.
