M. de Larochejaquelein has addressed the following
letter to the editor of the lndependance Beige :
" I have ju-t read in the Independence of the 20th and
21st May a passage of ycur correspondence which
Takes me say that I was present at the meeting of the
uileries, at the residence of General Changernier, of
which so much has been said for some days past. The
fact is false in all points, and thoigh I contradict this
statement alone amongst .30 many others of which I am
frequently the object in the journals, it is because it ap-
plies not to me alone.
" Receive, Sir, the expression of most distinguished
sentiments.

" M. DE LAROCHEJAQUELEIN."

A long letter appears in the Elysean journal,
Le Pays, on the fusion between the elder and
younger branch of the house of Bourbon. It is
taken from the Emancipation of Brussels, and, with
the exception of a postscript, which states that all
obstacles are now removed, contains nothing more
than what has appeared on the same subject over and
over again. The postscript referred to speaks of the
fusion, or reconciliation, as in fact concluded, and
that the friend?, of the Count de Chambord and the
Orleans Princes have come to an understanding on
the terms of a manifesto, the publication of which
is adjorarned for the moment ; that General
Chaowarnier was on the point of setting out
for Yrobsdorf to finish the matter, but was
persuaded by his friends not to do so yet; and that
General Bedeau has become a decided fusionist.
The Gazette de Cologne of the 21st also states that
the Count de Chambord was expected at Wiesbaden
with his suite, and that the Orleanists, " having at
their head the Dukes of liontpensier, Namou rs,
and Aumale, were to proceed at the same time
to Ems, as also the Queen Amelie." There
is no question that the present appears to be
the most propitious moment, and many of those who
bad heretofore held out may be tempted to go over ;
and it is in fact stated that of the persons who had,
until very recently, counselled the Duchess of Orleans,
out of regard for the interests of her son, against ac-
cepting the fusion, are now of a contrary way of think-
ing. If this be the case in some instances, in others,
however, it is doubted whether many, who, though
belonging to the opposition during a considerable
part of the late reign, preserve their attachment
to the King sons, will approve or sympathise with
an event which, as they believe, is owing to foreign
influence. But whether the fusion be really in
the advanced state described or not, it is not un-
deserving of remark that the Pays, a journal
that constantly supports the Government, pub-
lishes in extenso, and with much care, everything
that appears about it in the foreign press. On the
other hand, and with a perseverance no less re-
makable, M. Emile Girardin continues his quo-
tations from the speeches of M. Guizot on various
occasions, and particularly on the Belgrave-square
pilgrimages, in which the Legitimists as a political
party are turned into ridicule and spoken of with
contempt, and otherwise described as utterly in-
capable of government. Day after day the war is
carried on by that indefatigable writer against the
Assemblie Nationale—supposed to be the organ of
M. Guizot—with the object of again exciting bad
blood between the partisans of the Count de Cham-
bord and the Orleans Princes. The opinion that ge-
nerally prevails, however, is that this time at least the
question of the fusion is decided favourably.
