PB,lllB, EIATriIDAT ETININO.
I am able this afternoon to communicate to you a
fact of great importance. I informed you that the
princes of the House of Orleans intended to try,
without delay, the question of the validity of the
decree of January 22, confiscating the property in-
cluded in the donation of King lasi' Philippe to
his children on the 7th of August, 1830. The mode
which appeared to the council of jurisconsults
appointed by the Orleans family most ad-
visable for bringing the matter before the tribunals,
was to sell a portion of the property included in the
donation. Accordingly it was announced in the
usual manner by means of a notice posted up at the
Palais do Justice, that "the Princes of Orleans, act-
ing as proprietors, by virtue of the donation of their
father, the King Louis Philippe, on Aug. 7,1830,
set up for public sale such and such lands and here-
ditaments. The ale of a portion of the property
described took place this morning in the form called
"aide by emsdla," Ice the audience des crises of the
tribunal of Ind instance of the Seine. Now the im-
portant part of the affair is this. It was expected
that an opposition would have been put in by
the government against the sale. Up to the latest
moment the judge Deemed to expect that a huissier
would hare appeared to bar the sale on the part of
the domain. To the guest surprise of everybody the
adjudication took plans without any opposition what-
ever. Whether the go.erumcot recoils from the
execution of its own deeeue, and if not, why it has
not taken the most usual course by putting in an
opposition against the sale does not appear. The
property sold was the Pavillon de Wurtemberg at
Neuilly, and some other lands.
M. Mocquart, the private secretary of the Presi-
dent, has been heard to boast that ho has in his pos-
session a document proving that, in the first days of
the monarchy of July, the Princes of Orleans con-
templated the confiscation of the property of the
elder branch of the Bourbons.

I send you to-day an important document, namely,
the consaltation of the council of eminent juriscon-
sults called on by the house of Orleans to de-
liver an opinion on the confiscation decree
of January 22. The names of Berryer, Vati-
measil, Pullet, Odilon Barrot, and Dufaure, which
are attached to this weighty paper are a guarantee
for the solidity of its conclusions, which arc as
follows :

1. That at the time when the domes were published the
Plisses of the house of Odes= were truly sad lewdly
pagebeen of the estates whisk Mu the MOM of the
mesa berm 2. That the meal of thus lima bee sot
