FOREIGN.
The French Papers are entirely occupied with articles on the
frightful death of the Duke of Orleans. The Debats says :
" A Prince ever to be regretted has perished. Let us weep for
the loss; let us console his noble family by manifestations of
affection. Let France watch over the orphan Princes, the
noble and affecting inheritance left to us by their father. Let
the remembrance of the Duke of Orleans be their pi otection I
Public grief is but too just for a young and beloved Prince—a
Prince full of hope and promise has perished. But our insti-
tutions remain, and they are our own work. The monarchy is
erect, and the King and his children sustain it. The Chambers,
our Deputies, the Deputies of France are about to give to us
the suppoi tof the national will. The Legislature will provide
for everything, and the destinies of a great nation will not, un-
less it should abandon itself, be at the mercy of one of those
terrible, but ordinary accidents, to which even the most pre •
cious lives are exposed."
The Constitutionnel speaks thus briefly of the convocation
of the Chambers :—" This measure is entitled to our entire
approbation. On this sad and solemn occasion, the repre-
sentatives of the country must rally round the Throne, and
convey to it the homage and the consolation of France. There
is besides a very grave question to be submitted to it—viz.,
that of the Regency. This cannot be postponed, fur the de-
cision of the Chamber will be an immense guarantee for the
country."
The Courrier Francais, alluding to the Regency question,
says:—" The King no doubt will live long enough to resume
and continue, for the benefit of his grandson, the great task
which falls upon all founders of dynasties. France, however,
requires to be insured against all events that may happen. The
heir to the throne being an infant just out of its cradle, it
becomes necessary to constitute a Regency which may exer-
cise the Royal functions during the minority of the Count de
Paris, in case of a demise of the Crown. This will be the
first duty of the Chambers about to meet.. France
still wishes to maintain what she established in 1830,
and she is sufficintly strong to enforce her will. We must not,
however, disguise from ourselves the fact that the disastrous
accident which has snatched the Duke of Orleans from the
Royal Family and the country is of a nature to revive the
pretensions of certain parties, Believing the existing Govern-
ment to have been weakened, they will become more confident
and enterprising. It is, therefore, the duty of the Powers
that be, to do that which will render all these endeavours im-
potent and vain."
The National has an article which does not appear to have
been written under the impress of any great grief at the loss
which France has sustained.
The France, one of the organs of the legitimatist party, has
the following. It is purposely mysterious, but not so much so
that the moaning of the writer may not be seen :—" Everybody
is busy in discussing the prospects of France. The Prime is ho
has just been struck in so fatal and so unexpected a manner was
the object cf many hopes with those men who remained faithful
to the first Missions of the revolution of July. It appeared to
them that, at his probable accession to the throne, he would
operate a sort of restoration of the principles proclaimed in
1830, and which have been so much departed from since. The
event of July 13 extinguishes those hopes, and opens the way
to other ideas."

A rumour, which we notice only for its absurdity, was cur-
rent in Paris on Wednesday and Thursday, of a rising of the
Chartists in London. According to one version, the Queen had
been made a prisoner by them, and confined in the Tower.
According to another, she had been compelled to fly for secu.
rity to Windsor. The Gazette de France of yesterday evening
has been hoaxed into a belief of the reality of an outbreak. It
says :—" At the moment of going to press, we received from a
source worthy of credit the following information, which ap-
pears to confirm the news which was current yesterday A
vague report has been spread that the Queen has been obliged
to quit Landon. This news is perfectly true. The fligilt of
the Queen to Windsor is said to have been occasioned by the
most grave events, such as the assassination of a Minister, &c.
&c. In short, London is in open revolution:'"
