ARMY OF AFRfCA-PRoviNcE OF CONSTANTINE
CONSTANTINE, August II.
Of all the SUCCESSORS, and of all the arrange
ments, dear Majesty, which you propose to me,
this is what should prefer: Let Bedeau be ap.
pointed Lieutenant. General and Commander.n-
Chief of the Province OF Constantine. If Lamo-
riciere be appointed Governor, pro- tenn. ofAlgiers
Bedeau should be appointed, IN like manner, Co
recalled, and Random be made Governor pro tenn.
of Constantine. / should fear paraguay d'Hil-
Heres, who a man OF talent. and brave soldier,
but who is not much of business man and of all
RandoUs Is the only one which / should prefer,
but only temporarily and of this should wish
him to be made fully aware. II were to say
plainly what think, i have as yet known but one
single man, excepting Bedeau and Lamorrclere,
posse ssiDg that combination of practical and
intellectual qualities, of soldlershlp and statesman
ship, which should desire to see united in pro-
vlncial Governor; but he is, at this moment I'm
der every point of view, wholly out of the ques-
tion-l mean Cavaignac des Zouaves. think,
however, that 1t will be difficult to avoid making
HIM Field Marshal before long; for Cavaignac's
conduct is always perfectly judlclous and honora-
BILE. 1t would be idle to dream of arrestlng his
career; he is too young, and too prominent 1t
could only be retarded, and that would be, IN my
opinion, blunder; for, by seeming to bestow
upon HIM, unwingy, the grades which everybody
would be lost, and he would be rendered all the
more dangerous his popularity In the army is
great and real. Be SO good as to inform the King
that Major OF the End Regiment of the Foreign
dead, and that should be glad to see his place gi-
ven 10 a brave captain OF this same regiment, who
was wounded beside me, at Mehounech -
He Is named Meyer, a Swiss by birth, but natu-
dl1ions of promotion. For more than hundred
years re has al ways been some member of his
family In the service OF France he, himself, has
served for % years, and during this time counts
9camPaigns in Spain,
3 wounds,
3 horses killed under HIM,
times gaZetted.
IN Spain. He Is one of these good primitive
Swiss natures that the Klngknows so well-solid,
cool, devoted, modest His promotion would give
apleasure to every one. My health Is excellent,
and you may be entirely free from uneasiness on
this score. Informed you of my intended journey,
by the last courier, and do not anticipate any
change In my plans. My next letter will be dated
from Bona, and before the end of October hope to
be once more In your arms. Your respectful son,
II. D'ORLEANs.
