THE CONTRADICTION

in these terms :
" There is no foundation, we learn, for the report in a
Paris Letter, in our Paper of yesterday, that the Duke of
Orleans had received from M. de Thiars a memorial which
his Highness hail transmitted to the King, and that this was
the cause of that Gentleman's confinement. The Duke of
Orleans has received neither memorial nor communication
from M. de Thiars on that or any other subject. It is equally
incorrect, of course, that the Duke of Orleans made any
communication to the King concerning M. de Thiars or the
supposed memorial."—(tlerning Chronicle, July 2.)

Now, in the fair way of Newspaper manage-
ment, all this is pretty well, An erroneous re-
port is circulated, with its appropriate Party re-
marks, but it is discovered or known to be un-
tenable, and the forgery is coldly confessed,
leaving the sting of its illustrative observations
to serve the honest purpose of the factious. But
our Chronicle to-day goes further, and out-Ilerod's
Herod in its abhorrence of its own wickedness in
spreading this infamous rumour against the Duke
of ORLEANS.

We know not what name to assign to its third
Essay, perhaps we may call it

THE MANCEUVRE.

" Since the last year (says the same Chronicle of this Morn-
ing) the constitutional principles, and the frank and generous,
eenduct of the Duke of Orleans have drawn upon him the
hatred of the Ultra-Royalists, they accuse hint of having a
party, and of entertaining ambitious views. Facts prove the
contrary, but the iatrigners katow that where hittory is de-
fcctive ron4aucc will supply its place. These Gentlemen,
sickening with the consideration enjoyed by the Duke
of Orleans, and despairing oP being able to produce
any true accusation against him, have had recourse to
calumnies, or to calumnious accusations, and after hav-
ing laboured to circulate them they pretend that the
Duke of Orleans ought to prevent the evil that may re-
sult to themselves front their own work. What have they
done ? Last year they fabricated a declaration in the name
of the Duke of Orleans, which they caused to be biSerted in
the Newspapers, and which that Prince contented himself
with disavowing. They now renew this course of lOW in-
trigue, in order to furnish a pretext for the perseention or
condemnation of the Count de Thiars, detained in the French'
poisons ; they pretend that he has sent a seditious Memoir
to the Duke of Orleans. The assertion is false. The
Duke of Orleans denies it. They added, that that Prime
had sent the pretended Metnoir to the King, annexing
to it his protestation, that he hail no intention of attacking
the Throne of his Majesty. The public will see that there is
still a weans of obtaining credence for a false declaration like
that fabricated last year-.a declaration which, being without
a motive, would have been equally absurd and ridiculous, but
see the plan of these Gentlemen. If time Duke of Orleans
should say clothing against the supposed act, his silence would
give it authenticity; if his disavowal should be susceptible of
any false interpretation, the object of the calumniatOrs would
be attained. What is the best means of destroying this NW
Intrigue, which has no other basis than Wifehood, no ether
view than to create suspicions ? It is to do what has been al-
ready done by the Duke of Orleans, to limit himself to a pubs
and simple disavowal of the article inserted."
On this we have Lut one observation—lt Was
the Chronicle itself which promulgated the fabrica-
tion aga'unt which all this indignation is expressed!!!
No French Paper ever alluded to such a thing,
and we believe very few English Papers copied it.
The force of ridicule can go no further than to
apply the Chronic/e's own castigation to its own
falsehood.

So tenacious are the police at Dieppe] respect-
ing the introduction of English newspapers into
France, by the different passengers entering that
port, that a seizure, it is said, is- immediately
blade of every one which they observe in. the pos-
session of travellers. An instance lately occurred
to a foreigner, who had a variety of London pa-
pers in his trunk. When it was examined at the
bureau, the Commissary made 0-eizure of them,
and notwithstanding•tht Gentleman assured hint
that . the publications were favourable to the
Bourbon Goverment, it was unavailing, and the
Cmumissary kept possession of the whole packet.
On Tuesday seven Gentlemen from the Navy
Departments were ordered to Portsmouth, to be
in readiness to pay the ships as SOH as their emu-
pletacuts are completed!.
