Duchess d'Orleans has addressrd lett.rs to M. Thiers
on the occasion of the death 0, Lillis Philippe. Is is not
intended, in fact, at this moment to kssemble a political
council at Claremont. The presence of M. Thiers at
Claremont would then be without object, and it has not
been demanded. His sentiments of personal devote,l-
ness to the Orleans family are well known, but be be-
lieves that at present nothing is possible iu France ex-
cept the presidency of the Prince Louis Napoleon, and
he is decided to give to his Government the most ener-
gstie and most constant support. On his farewell
visit to the President of the Republic before leaving
Paris, M. Thiers stated to him that such was his deter-
mination, and he has so expressed himself in his con-
versations at Baden."

The following incident has been recounted in some
of the newspapers, as showing the disposition of the
army just now— :

"Several soldiers of a battalion of artillery, sbich
arrived at Nantes a few days ago, on the way to St.
Malo, created considerable sensation by parading
through the town and the race-course, bawling revo-
lutionary songs, and headed by another artillery-
man carrying a drawn sword. On the race-
course they continued to vociferate, and they drank
to excess. Several notorious Socialists fraternised'
with them, and excited them to abandon their duty.
The next day General GERARD passed the battalion in
review, and gave a severe lecture to the men who had
violated their duty." His speech appeared to produce
an excellent effect. On his elf mend, the man who
had carried the drawn sword, left the ranks, and was
taken into custody by the gendarmes. The soldiers
of the 11th regiment and of the 9th Hussars, in gar-
rison at Nantes, warmly disavowed all sympathy with
the artillerymen."
An interesting letter from Cherbourg, in the
Ordre, says :
" Apa-tments, which were paid eight days ago 200".
for a week, are let at this moment for 50f. and 60*. a day.
Half at least of the strangers are lodg4d in the neigh-
bouring villages. If this avalanche of visitors continues,
a certain number will be obliged to bivouac, and make
up for the pleasure of three days' curiosity by three
nights in the open air. A letter of Lord Palmerston
announces officially to the Government that Vice-Admi-
ral Cochrane. accompanied by forty officers or function-
aries of the Royal Navy, will visit Cht rb.‘urg. A pro-
motion in the order c f the Legion of -Honour hea been
especially prepared for the squAron. Amongst the
crosses which will be distributed are four of the rank of
commander, destined for captains."
A solemn mass was offered up for the repose of the
soul of the ex-King Louis PisiurrT at eleven o'clock
on Wednesday morning, hi the chapel of the palace
of the Tuileries. General CHANGARNIEE assisted at
it, and amongst those present were also observed
MM. GUIZOT, DUCHATEL, DUMOS, and JAva, Who
had not been able to leave Paris in time to assist at
the obsequies of the deceased at Claremont.
The Bourse was agitated to-day, and a decline took
place in the price of Public Securities without any rea-
sonable cause. The Five per Cents. opened at 97f., and
closed at 96f. 45c ; the Three per Cents, closed at 58'4
