A member of the Council- General of the depart-
ment of the Oise has proposed the following reso-
lution The underz,igned, considering that the
stability of the Government is indispensable to the
consolidation of order—without which no true liberty,
no security for families, no guarantees for property,
can exist—has the honour to pray the Council-General
to adopt a resolution for the abrogation of the 45th
article of the Constitution, when its revision shall he
demanded." The 4.;th article rEfers to the•. non-re-
eligibitity of the President of . the Republic.
At Orleans; white wine has risen from lf. to 2f. the
hectolitre. At Avignon the wines of the department
of the Rhone have risen from 4e. to sf. The accounts
from Burgundy are bad. The grapes are not increas-
ing in and it will require constant fine weather
to produce an ordinary crop. There has been no rise
f price in Pdris, but sales are more easily effected
than they were last week.

THE LEGITIMIST CONGRESS AT

WIESBADEN.

Tile proceedings of the Legitimists at Wiesbaden
and elsewhere continue to attract a great deal of at-
tention in Paris. Oa Saturday M. Berryer arrived
from his visit to the Count de Chambord at Wies-
baden, and in the course of the day attended a meet-
ing of the committee of permanence, which was held
in one of the committee-rooms of the Assembly.
The tollowing letter, which appeared in the Siècle,
gives some details of the intrigues going on, which
will be found worthy of perusal :

" TO THE EDITOR. OF THE " SIECLE."
" Wiesbad,n, Aug. 27.

" M. Salvandy was presented on Sunday night to the
Count de Chambord ; the assembly was numerous.
Among the new arrivals we observed Manche! de Ra-
gusa and M. Valmy. M. Salvandy had a private con-
versation of some minutes' duration with the Prince in
the recess of a window, and afterwards he mixed with the
general company, He was very fluent and very agree-
able. The next morning M. Salvandy was received at
a private audience, and in the afternoon he accompanied
the Pretender to Bieberich, who that day dined with
the Duke of Nassau.

" M. de Salvandy was not a mere visitor; he repre-
sented at the little Court of Wiesbaden Orleanism and M.
Guizot. Each distinguished man among the old m-nar-
chical parties had here his ambassador: M. iltole was re-
presented by his son-in-law M. de Champlatreux; M.
Guizot by M. do Salvandy ; and M. Thiera corresponded
with M. Berryer.
" Our part, as of Orleans, has terminated,' as King
Louis Philippe often observed;' we, for the future, can
only be Bearboas."fiaia tardy conversion was not
adopted by every one. The Queen of the Belgians,
the Duchess d'Orleans, and the Prince de Joinville
are, above all, much opposed' to every attempt
at reconciliation. On the occasion of his last voyage to
St. Leonard's, M. Guizot was desired by the ex-King to
see the Duchess d'Orleans, and endeavour to make her
understand that taking the more enlarged view of the
interests of the Count de Paris they ougnt t i bring about
a union with the Count de Chumnord. M. Guizot as-
sented to the suggi.stion, and demanded an audience of
the Duchess d'Orleans. The Duchess instintly re
ceived him, but five minutes had not elapsed after M.
Guizot had fultille I his commission when Mme. de Lobau
suddenly entt,red the room, and thus broke up the con-
ference. M. Guizot wished again to take up his subject,
but the Duchess suddenly stopped the Ambassador, ex-
claiming Mine. la Marichale does not like to listen to
political conversation. If you wish it. we can renew the
interview at another time.' M. Guiz having been so
sadly received, did not think of asking for a second
audience, but returned to Paris.

In thP same journey, M. Guizot was entrusted by
Louis Philiplm with a note, which, in case or the death
of the latter, would probably be regard, d as his political
testament. Iu this document were laid down the bases
and the conditions of the fusion between tbe two fami-
lies; and I am enabled to assure you in the most posi-
tive manner that M. de Salvandy- arrived at Wiesbaden
with this note of .M. Guiz,t in his pocket. What were
the conditions laid aown by Louis Philippe and M.
Guizot, I am ignorant at present; but it is very probable
that I shall obtain a knowledge of them at this place
within a few days. _ _

`• The council of the Count de Chambord required,
above all, on the part of the Orleans family, the formal
recognition of the PretendLr as the legitimate head of
the Houle of l3ourbor. This recognition was to be
effected by means of.a collective letter, or by individual
letters, addreastd to the Count de Chambord, in
which he assumes the name of Henry V., a the
Count de Prov.nee iissutned the name of L,Juis
XVIII. during the period of hi.: emigration. Louis
Philippe, the Duke de N moury, the Duke U'Aumalo, and
the D .ke de 11..rapensier were disposed to aub,cribe to

these condi(bns, provided that on the otip-r side of the

Rhine they wuul.i accept the bases of the acumen: of
M. Gtizor. liar, as I observed just now, the Prince de
Jeinvilie and the Duchess d'Orieacs, encouraged by the
Queen of the Belgians, obstinately refused any cornpro-
loiie, and thus held in clack the ['arty of the fusionists.
" But wre.her th, fusion tikes place or does nut take
place—whether M. Salvandy succeeds or fails in his
erubas,y—i he council of the Count de Chambord is de-
termined for tattion. I know, from an undoubtt d source,
that a VIM of two milaons is disposable for the wants of
the party.
" There exists at this moment at Wiesbaden, besides
the colony of French Legitimists, a battalion of persons
decoratt.d with crosses an is ribbins 01 all colours, who
come one knows not whence, and who, under the ap-
pearanco of iuditierence, as drinkers of the warm a a-ers
or as players for amusement, have the eyes ut eagles,
and their ears stretched out to every keyhole. These
are the characters which we want fur carrying out
intrigues and for playing a secret game ; this
hybrid class belong to secret bodies, arid are
half diplomatists and half spies. They are at
all the files, all the subscription ball 3, and all the con-
certs. Tney speak French, English, and German, and
always find an ingenious m Ale of addressing observa-
tions to you without kouaing you, and of talking with
everybody. They are grew; distributors of cigars to the
nun, and passers of elegant compliments to the women.
They are Legitimists here, Orleanists there, and even
occasionally Republicans. They affret a sort of lite-
rary and politics[ dilettantism, which can hardly deceive
the least clear-sighted. They begin with speaking to
you on the war of tie Duchies, or on the differeoces
between Prussia and Austria, so as to lead you to con-
verse on the affairs of the Count de Chambord, on M.
Berryer, or on the mission of M. Salvandy. You
need not know anything respecting the curious and
shadowy policy of the small German courts to compre-
hend that all these unknown personages are the secret
ambassadors of these courts at the Legitimist Congress.
They register the names of those who arrive and those
who depart, and they endeavour to learn what has
been said respecting the presentations in the morn-
ing and at the levee in the evening, and they have
their confidants in the Hotel Duranger whtn they
cannot go there themselves. On Sunday last all this
excitable body were is the clouds on the fact becoming
known of the arrival of M. de Salvandy. They rushed,
one atter the other, to the Post-office Hotel, to learn
hether it was true that the old Minister of the Govern-
ment of July had arrived, and on being assured iu the
affirri.ative by the master of thQ hotel, they with haste
pretirsrt d and deposited notes in the letter-box. Nothing
can be more curious than the appearance of these ex-
citable people, who are rendered att.:lloe by a name,
and who are set a dreamieg by a word pronounced at
hazard.

" Last night I went to Cursaal, with a Prussian whom
I had formerly known at Paris, and whom I recently
met at Mayence, where he is in garrison. W. uld you
like me to introduce you to one of the important person-
ages of the principility ?" Who is this person?' I re-
plied. •He is the Minister of Police. It is that brave
man you see walking tt anquiliy, with his hands behind
him, under the arcades of the colonnade.' I ac-
cepted the off. I. of my friend, and we approached
the good-humoured looking Foucti of the Duke
Adolphus. After having conversed for a few minutes
on indifferent matter*, the conversation turned on
the manifestations of the French Rhinegraves, in the air
of Vivo Henri Q iatre,' sung in their drunken orgies,
and in the cries ut Vive le Rui! put forward every day
dt tte tables d'hote. 'ls there no fear,' I asked of the
head ut the police, 'of embroiling yourselves with the
French Republic by such proceedings?' 4h, he an-
swered, smiling, we are so insignificant; besides, we are
pentieians, we are only cooks.' The Minister of the
Police of Nassau thus made intelligible to me in a word
the dpi .mscy of hi, august Sovereign.
The other small Governments of Germany, and not
merely those who are only cooks, are much engaged in
discussing the route which the Count de Chamburd will
take on quitting Wiesbaden. It was said he would return
tb Frohsdorff, by Munich and Stutgardt, as the King
of Wurtemburg was disposed to receive the Prince
fftvoursbly; but it was decided at the same time not
to allow him to reside in these states if ho took
with him a numerous suite. The King of Wurtem-
burg is a prudent prince, who, without liking overmuch
the French Republic, does not wish, however, to place
himself on fit terms with it, and desires as much as
possible to be in hiendly relations with all the world.
In France ara publicists and s:atesmen who are always
in some tear for the peace of Europe, and they, as it
we e, point their finger to the horizon, as to a menacing
phaetuin. In fireign countries, however, we ate all sur.
prised to find rha', on the contrary, Europe is in fear from
Fr.tuce.

" I have altlo met with another fact during my resi-
det,ce in Germany—it is that, in spite of songs, odes. and
German eropees upon •The Free German Rhine,' the
two banks of the Rhine are not only separated by the
river, but the people by their different ideas. In
rain Prussia and Austria may exert themselves to
Germanize the left bank of the Rhine. They
never can succeed. Austria and Prussia send upon
left bank srddiers from the right bank, and these two Go-
v rr.ments place in this country, which borders on the
frontier of. France, Prussian and Austrian douaniers and
tunctionairics for the government of these parts; but
