The letter of CoUNT SURvILLIERs (JosEpH
BoyAPARrEl Published here III September is re-
Journal of Commerce says of it, This sort of
protest will find few adherents in France. Count
SuN iIiers dcceives himself entirely as to the
state of public opinion; he has preserved in for
eign land preiudiccs which with us are centu-
ry old. His illusions render him unjust, and
might render his patriotism questionable. The
editor declares that France is not ungrateful for
the military glory won for her by Napoleon. but
that she owes nothing to his heirs; and that his
abdication in favor of his son is worth no more
than the similar bequest of Charles the Tenth.
He adIs:-. The Count Survliers recalls
NAL -apropos. the crimes OF emigration and
those of the two restOrations in order tn reproach
our new King with them; it is to recall all the
traits which 50 honorably distinguish this Prince
from the other Bourbons While he remained
on the French soil, he fought in its defence
Prescribed bv an lust decree, he endured all
the miseries of exile, rather than serve under
foreign nas-rathsr than rcnOuncc the title of
French citizen. Let the Count Survilicrs mcdi-
tate upon this nobIe'and pure life; he will find IN
it great virtues to admire, and perhaps some ex-
anples to initiate; he will not find The Duke of
Orleans postponing the interests of his country to
those of his family. Let Count Sur
yiicrs comprehend the revolution Of 1880; i, Is
our work and our conquest. This constitution
wc have dictaled;-this popular throne we have
raised with our hands: - this King we have uuan-
imousIS proclaimed. Very rash would he be,
who should undertake to do for us more and bet
ter than we have done for ourselves
