The Poignacs were. it is asserted constantly

In 1915 they met at the Chateau OF USsee III

general raising of tire Royalists in the west and

they were concerned in the singular plot OF Ma
lct at all events they were suspected and put un-

capped. During the same year Jules joined the
Count D'Artois. and was sent on special mis-
sion to Rome. He attended Louis 18th to Client.
and was thence dispatched to the frontiers OF Sa-
WOW. He once again fell into the hands Of the b.
napartists, and again made his escape. At the
restoration of the Bourbons he returned to Paris
and was made Peer.
| He was also created Inspector General oftheNa-
ional Guards, Marshal, and member of sew
eral orders, and then Prince. In lSl6he con-
nected himself with Scotch lady of the name OF
Campbell, who died soon after, and his second
wife, also an English woman, was, during the
Princes recent residence in England as the
French Ambassador, a distinguished leader OF
the ton. The Court journal has been very loud in
its praise of the lady and her departure for France
was announced as an affair which would break the
hearts Of a numerous train OF friends and admI-
rers We believe she was also alluded to in the
novel called the Exclusives

Kings most incorporate advisers, indeed most

that no explosion would follow the obnoxious de-
crees, and he seems to have been as much aston

IDENTIFY been afraid to show himself since the trou-
bles have commenced, and we think that some
allusion made to an obnoxious minister by the
liberal journals are meant for him. lfit is true
that he has escaped to Brussels, he may feel hap
py in having Stunned the fate which seems to
threaten his colleague PeyroDnet.
The Prince went to England in 1928 as AM
bassador, and in 1929 returned to France, when
he was made president Of the Council. His sen.

! Por;sian Mtms.-It was asserted in Paris, on
the Cd of August. that Charles x. had expressed
wish to 60 to .7Igiers! The sum Of I. 500, 600
francs was seized in the suburbs of Paris, whicn
was to have directed the of Paris; he did
not arrive in time. The rue lstreeD Charles K.
in Paris, is now called rue Lafayette. Such was
the general enthusiasm, during the conflict, that
children of IGOR 10 years old were seen slipping
between the ranks of the Royal Guards, and
shooting them with pocket pistols, while they
were firing upon the people. One of the editors
of the Paris Globe was killed in the attack on
the Tuileries. General Lafayette wore an old
uniform Of the National Guards, with the epau-
lettes of Lieut.. General
A young man, whose appearance indicated
opuence, was seeking eagerly for arms, in order
to appear at once the scenes Of action; he fell
in with man whose exterior scarcel' placed him
above the station of scavenger, but who bore
musket on his shoulder: My friend" 'cried
the young man, & will give you 100 francs for
your gum" ':Oh, nor, sir. can't part with
my best friendr' 81 will give YOU 500 fr."-

the enemy, and shall serve for some more of

One Of the Royal Guards suddenly threw his
