THE FORTUNE OF THE REM? OF THE BOURsoNs.--The
Gazette de Lyon, a Legitimist journal, in alluding to the
late suit in which the Count de Chambord has been
engaged, gives the following account of his property :
—" The Count has not inherited altogether 50,0001.
of revenue from his aunt the Duchess d'A.ngonleme.
She bequeathed to him the estate of Frohsdorf, worth
about 30,000 f. a year, and another estate in Hungary,
of rather less value, besides some money, but the be-
quest is charged with more than 12,0001. a year of
charitable legacies. As to the Countess of Chambord,
her income is not 100,000 f. a year." After giving the
above, the journal adds :—" This certainly is not a for-
tune equal to the charges entailed on one who is the
head of the house of Bourbon.
