JULES FAVRE AND TEIE ORLEA.NISTS.

The Electeur Libre gives an account of a meeting of the
Club des Folies Bergeres at which certain delegates re'
ported the result of an interview they had had with lg.
Favre respecting the rumoured return of the Orleans
Princes to France. The loom was crowded as V/55
known that the meeting would be unusually interesting,
and when M. Maurice Joly, a member of the deputation,
ascended the tribune, there was total silence. The
reply of M. Favre to the deputation was given
as nearly as possible in his own words. "I am altogether
unaware," he said, "of the news of which you speak-
' I only remember that there was a talk of the presence of
the Orleans Princes in the West at the head of an arnlY
of 150,000 men, but the rumour seemed to me so little
serious that I paid no heed to it. But since it hoe
a certain consistency, I should tell you that our
communications with the provinces are very incomplete.
We only get the most important news through the foreign
ambassadors." M. Joly asked what must be thought of
the supplementary armies, the Minister replied : INre
have said in the note in the official journal all that we
know. I can add that besides the two armies already
announced, a third has been raised consisting of 40,0uu
men. The movement to the rescue of the capital is 3
very powerful one." M. Joly having expressed the dig'
trust with which many persons saw MM. Estancelin and
Serisonet at the head of the Norman and Vendean
armies, M. Favre replied that the opinions of M. Estan-
celin were well-known, but he was a man
of honour, and would do his duty. •Ei-5
for M. Kerisonet, he never had been an Orleanist
and no manceuvres in the interest of that dynasty need he
apprehened from him. The delegates then asked whnt,
course the Government would adopt if the inhabitants of
certain departments were to arm themselves and come to
the assistance of Paris, having an Orleans Prince at their
head ? M. Favre answered, "If our provincial brethren
arrived with their own leader at their head, we should
receive them with open arms. If they present themselves
as liberators under the banner of Orleans we should reject
the standard." Speaking subsequently of the law of banish"
meat which affects the members of the dynastic families, g.
Favre added that as man, as Frenchman, and as Republicans
he could not approve such a law, which might strike the
innocent, but as a politician, with a sense of responsibilith
he thought it prudent to maintain it in force. Even
should the princes abdicate all their preten-
sions and present themselves in France as
simple citizens only claiming the rights of the
most humble electors, the" Ministry would keep the
door pitilessly closed, because they had not forgotten the
recent and terrible lesson of history—they had not for-
gotten 1851. The other delegates having given their
account of the interview, a vote of thanks to Jules Favre
was resolved upon with acclamation.

It is reported that Marshal Valiant has received orders
to quit French territory.
A mixed commission composed of French and Prussian
officers will make the inventory of the arms and munitions
in the different arsenals of Metz.

It was suggested that the army of Bazaine might go to
Algeria until the close of the war, but King Williams
would not agree to the proposaL

The Saxon Minister of War has just purchased 8,000,000
cigars for the Saxon troops who form a portion of the
army besieging Paris.
The female inhabitants of Elbceuf are asking to be
formed into a corps of Amazons, and a letter signed by
six of them to this effect has been inserted in a local
paper.

A vigorous women's club exists at Marseilles. One of
the fair and gentle speakers recently proposed that the
scaffold should be permanent, and that the Bishop of
Marseilles should be the first victim.

As a proOf of the difference in prices charged by the
various large shipbuilding firms in the United Kingdom
for their work, we can state that the sum to be paid by
the Admiralty for one of the armour-plated turret ships
lately contracted for is to be in one instance £120,000,
and in another only £105,000.
The Journal de Rouen states that the superioi Prussian
officer killed at Hecourt by Francs-tireurs or Mobiles
was a son of General Vogel von Falkenstein, and that
the corpse has been exchanged for an officer of Francs-
tireurs recently made a prisoner.

Some of the Garibaldians complain of the treatment
they receive in Eastern France. At Dole, however, in
the Jura, they are very popular. They pay for every-
thing, and even when it is absolutely necessary to make
a requisition, the colonel calls personally insteed of send-
ing a written order.

The Carlshrue Gazette says that at Charnay, about a
mile from Verdun, two officers of dragoons and four
troopers were invited by the inhabitants to partake of
breakfast, and whilst they were at table they were sur-
prised and butchered in the most infamous manner. A
former notary of the place, named Viola, had sent for a
body of Freeshooters, who cheerfully undertook the work
of killing the Germans. Viola was shot. Verdun, says the
Carlshrue Gazette, gives no sign of surrender.
A Swedish student, who has joined the French foreign
legion, complains of the food served out. " I can scarcely
understand that a full-grown man can subsist on lilb. of
bread and 6oz. of meat a day, and yet such is our allow"
ance, for the abominable lukewarm water served out
twice a day under the name of soup is hardly worth
reckoning." The uniform of the legion consists of a red
cap, dark blue coat, bright red trousers, and blue cloak-
Chassepots have been served out to the men. At Bourgee
25,000 picked troops are assembled, including 8,000
Zona ves and 1,700 Turcos.

M. Guizot, who has recently written to the Times, has
likewise addressed an epistle to the Princess Troubetzkoi.
The two do not exactly correspond. In the public letter the
veteran speaks of the extravagant demands of the Ger-
mans ; in the communication to the Princess he declares
any cession of territory whatever to be out of the ques-
tion. M. Guizot considers an Imperialist restoration to
be impossible. He terms the war "the most motiveless,
unnecessary, senseless, thoughtless, in a word, to speak
plainly, the most stupid war which was ever entered
upon among civilised nations." The Empire, he further
says, indisputably merited its fall more than any Govern-
ment has ever done.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Holloway's Pills and Ointment.--
Palpitation of the Heart, Shortness of Breath.—Theo
distressing affections, arising from indigestion or a relaxed
state of the nervous system, may be thoroughly overcome
by a course of these corrective Pills. When the throbbing
of the heart and feeling of suffocation on making any
slight exertion harass the patient, Holloway's Ointment
should be well rubbed twice a day over the pit of the
stomach and right side. It will soon bring out a rash,
and on its appearance all anxiety and every unfavourable
symptom will be mitigated. The use of these Medicines
should not be discontinued until the patient has been for
some time free from palpitation and other attendant
inconveniences.
