FRANCE.

FRIDAY EVENING.
The manifesto of the Count do Chambord has been
received in Paris. It is as follows :
Freuchmen,—During tie trials my country has been ex-
posed to I have emidsmia d inyeelf to voiuntary inaction
and to silence. I could nut forgive myself if I had hir a
single moment aggravated itA embarrassments and its p• :ass
Separated from }ranee, it is yet dear and sacred to me,
much, and more than if I had never quitted it. I twee
not if it shall be allowed me some day to !serve my ceurare,
but I am very certain that it will not have to reior melt !tie
with a word or an act which ran affect her prosperity and
her repose. It is her hnnour as well as mine—it is regard
for her future—it is my duty towards her, which induct'
me to raise this day my voice.
Frenchmen ! You desire monarchy ; you have admitted
that it alone can render you, with a regular and tootle
government, that security of all rights, that guarantee
of all interests, that permanent accord of a rroug ratio.
rity, and of a wise liberty which rimed and secured the
liappineie of rations. nut give yourselves up to Ulu-iris
which, sooner or later, will be fatal to you. Ihe new in.
pire proposed to you cannot b. that temperate and deralde
monarchy who.e ben, tits you await. People are deceived,
and they deceive you, when they promise them to you to its
name. True monarchy, traditional monarchy, eupperted
on hereditary rights and sanctioned by time can alone nut
you in possession of these preeious advantages and Enable
you to enjoy them for over. The Resins and the glory of
Napoleon were not sufficient to Loma anything stable; his
name, the memory of his acts, can still lees eo so.
Security is not re-established by disturbing the principle
on which the throne reposes ; and all rights are not
consolidated by disregarding that which is arnone-t us the
necessary basis of the monarchical order. The monarchy 111
France is the royal house of France, indissolubly united
to the nation. My ancestors and yours have travers-d
centuries, labouring is concert, according to the usages and
the necessities of the period, in the development of oar
noble country. The French, during 1,100 years, alone,
amongst all the people of Europe, have always had
princes of their nation and of their blood at their head.
The history of My ancestors is the history of the progress
sive greatness of France; and it was that monarchy which
endowed her with the conquest of Algiers, no rich in future
prosperity, so rich alreany by the high military reputatiihr
which it has created, and the glory of which is added to
all your glories.
. _ _

Whatever may be the deegna of God with respect to you
and to me, who have remained the chief of the ancient race
of your kings the heir of that long line of nrinarchs, who,
during so many centuries have increased, and caused to ho
respected, the power and the fortune of France, I owe it
to myself, I owe it to my family and to my country, to pro-
tect loudly against false and perilous amngements. I,
consequently, maintain my right, which is the surest
guarantee of yours, and. taking God to witness, I de.
dare to France and to the world that, faithful to the laws
of the kingdom, and to the tradition of my ancestors, I will
religiously preserve, to my last breath, the aeposit of the
hereditary monarchy of which Providence has entrusted to
me the care, and which is the only port of refuge where
France, the object of our love, may, after so many loorms,
at length find rest and happiness.
Frobtdorf, 25th October, 1.9.12.

Louis Napoleon has, after all, takenup his hunting
quarters at Fontainebleau. The Compiegne people
will be sadly disappointed, for, until within the last
four-and-twenty hours, they have been under the full
impression that they were to witness the firstexpleits
of the new "Grand Veneur" in a royal " Chase a Is
Louis IV." The departure for Foutainebleau was ar-
ranged with the utmost secrecy. Yesterday after-
noon the President was seen on the boulevards
in an open eoleeke, and four without an escort,
and people supposed he was merely taking a
drive. He was, however, on his way to the
railway station. Horses, guns, sporting accoutre-
ments, whippers-in, grooms, and beaters had been
sent by a special train in the morning. In the
caleclie with the President were M. Achille Fould,
the Duke Caumont-Laforce, a senator, and Colonel
Fleury. Captain Merle, sub-prefect of the Palace,
and Baron de Pierre*, second ecuycr, followed in
another carriage. Although the Lyons Railway
Company had received very abort notice they con-
trived to transform the first-class waiting-room into
a saloon, fit for a royal reception. The eagle, the
arms of Napoleon 111., eseutchone, and garlands de-
corated the four corners of the station. The engine
which drew the train was also ornamented with the
arms of Napoleon 111., and bore a gilt eagle in the
front. On arriving at Melun the train was obliged to
stop, inconsequence of an obstruction causedby an tkci-
dent which happened in the morning, A special
train, carrying some chasseurs do Vincennes, to do
duty at the Palace of Fontainbleau, had run into a
truck which was inadvertently left across the rails.
The train was thrown off the line, five or six soldiers
were bruised, and the driver much hurt. The
President inquired tho cause of the accident, and
whether any one had been killed. During the halt
the prefect of the Seine and Marne, and General
Ferray commanding the troops of the department,
got into the President's carriage to accompany him
to Fontainbleau. Several of the ministers have left
Paris to-day to visit the President, who is expected
to stay several days at his hunting palace. I under-
' stand that the wearing of the new sporting dress,
comprising white buckskins and hessians, will be
rigorously enforced upon all those admitted to the
honour of sharing the imperial sport.
The rage for gaudy dress is very great. The efforts
of M. Billault originally relieved the Corps Legis-
latif from the obligation of sitting in their official
costume. But it is now said that if they chtain the
salaries of which they are desirous, it will only be
upon the condition of wearing their liveries. Rumour
even goes so far as to say that a costume will
be imposed upon their wives. M. Montalembert has
told his friends that if the Corps Legislatif is made a
salaried body, he shall think that the small portion
of dignity yet belonging to it is at an end, and ho
will resign.
M. Thiers now receives a good many of his friends
on an evening, but he professes not to allow politics
to be talked in his house.
Letters from Turkey state that the Sultan has re-
ceived the proposal for receiving Abd-el-Bader at
Broussa very coldly, and that he will enter into re
guaranteo whatever as to his safe custody ur his
conduct. _ .

It appears from the monthly returns of the Bank
of France that the amount of general busint,s dorm
during the past month has considerably ineressed.
The metallic reserve has declined about 301 inn Eons
in Paris, and 6 millions in the branch banks. The
discount accommodation has increased 141 millions
in Paris, and 16 millions in the provinces.
The advances on Freneh stock present an an;•
mentation of not less than 201 millions in Paris, and
21 millions in the departments. Advances on rail-
way shares and bonds arc 11 millions greater
in Paris, and three millions greater in the branch
banks. On the side of the liabilities, the notes
in circulation have increased 22: millions in
Paris, and 41 in the branch banks. The ac-
count-current of the Treasury has increased 21 mil-
lions; private accounts-current have increased 12
millions in I'aris, and 1 million in the departments.
The whole amount of the metallic reserve is et
sent HSI millions to 6611 millions of notes in or.
, culation.

Counts Itzenplitz and Solos-Barutli, and M. Stahl

letter to the Minister of Worship ho expressos

them to be voted every year.

AUSTRIA.
A correspondent of the Columns G4Zeige writes :
VIENNA. Nov. 7.
',No deputation will represent the Austrian army at
the fooer.il of the ltuke of Wellington. It is the Em.
pelves owl will mud pleasure. Ministers had dis-
closed the muter, and had even agreed to propose to
the eorereign that all generals who had at any time
seri,d in the regiment Wellington, as well as the
superior office rs now NI rung in it, should be selected
to reprtsent the Atiatrian army on tho solemn OCCIII-
1t hen the suhtect was broached to the Empe-
Avr. he shortly replied—' Gentlemen, you have been
wisting your time: and perceiving the surprise of
hi. Audi. :tee, he add, d, ' Thine will be no deputation
to Londoo. The .‘ustrian uniform has been in-
sale d i•, I. ntl-ri by a street mob, and no satisfaction
has hnh. t..heL ii rendered. They shall not have a
awed chance.'" _ _ _
