M. de Larochejaquelein has addressed the following
letter to the editor of the lndependance Beige :
" I have just read in the Independence of the 20:h and
21st May a passage of your correspondence which
makes ma say that I was present at the meeting of the
Tuileries, au the residence of General Changarnier, of
which so much has been said for some days past. The
fact is false in all points, and though I contradict this
statement slue amongst so many others of which I am
frequently the object in the journals, it is because it ap-
plie,s not to me alone.
" Receive, Sir, the expression of most distinguished
sentiments.

" M. DE LAROCHEJAQtTELEIN."

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 Bruzsels, and, with
the exception of a postscrir., whieh states that all
ob'stacles 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 friends of the Count de Chambord and the
Orleans Princes have come to an uaderstanding on
the terms of a manifesto, the publication of which
is adjourned for the moment, ; that General
Changarnier was on the point of setting out
for Frohsdorf to finish the matter, but was
persuaded by his fiieads not to do so yet ; and that
General Bedeau bas 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 Montpensier, Nemours,
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,
for the interests of her son, against ac- out of regard
cepting thefusion, are nowof acontrary 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 Sing' sons, will approve or sympathise with
an event which, as they believe, is owing to foreign
influence. But whether thefusion 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-
markable, 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 end spoken of with
contempt, and otherwise described as latterly 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 Chain-
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.
