sionist. We are n longer in the times in which
the look Of prince, repeated by woman's
heart, can operate such miracles on an intelli-
gence 90 frm as that Of the last President
Of the Council Of the constitutional monarchy.
The reception which the Count de Chambord gives
10 the numerous Frenchmen who visit him in his
exile, is cordial without familiarity dignihed with
out pretepsion, ard royal without haughtiness. He
displays a eoquetry Of altogether marked de-
scription for the men net belonging to his cause,
and whom a sentiment OF respect and curiosity
leads to visit him. 1; is in particular With them
that be gives way Freely to ihe expression Of his
ard things, and by the richness Of bis mind; be
csuies them to forget that he s pretender, and al
exile from his country. They fancy that they hear
France speaking through his mouth, and that the
voice Of the present age is heard in his voice,
awakening az IL does, al the echoes Of past ages.
Nature displays the soul After having shown the
Count de Chambord such az he Is in his outward
sppensLce, | shall easily show what be must be
in bis moral organization. Above all things, be
feels within him the life Of principle. Born IN
royal cradle at the foot Of throne; given TO his
race a. a compensation for the crime directed
against his iather; sprung up as by miracle, an
unexpected offshot from the roots Of a sem cut
down BY the knife Of an ASSASSIN, he has concen-
tra.ed in himself al the sap Of that monarchy OF
which he Il the last representative. lie Is assimi.
lated TO II by al his impressions, By all his serss
tions, his regrets and bis hopes, and by all the
movements Of his intelligence and Of his heart.
lie has drawn from IL in some manner a new ma
ture. In word, be has made himself King, and
in his eyes this royalty, mingled with his blood and
with his name, lie 20 unalterable that, although he
does not carry the scepte in his hand he bears the
right 10 IL in his conscience This absolute respect
for the principle Of which be is the
forms the principal feature Of the character which
study But this infexibility cannot, nevertheless,
either compress falsfy expansive nature, open
10 all impressions, to all generous sentiments, and
to ali young ideas. The Count de Chambord
believes in his dogma, as James H. believed in the
chateau Of ST. German. Ne more than him would
be have consented TO abdicate in favor Of another
William Of Orange, q right which he considered TO
be a truth. But different from James H., II the
blood is old, the spirt s new. The Count de Cham-
bord has 70 prejudice The education OF exile, his
meditatiops and bis instruction have triumphed
all that the traditions family or caste might have
suggested AZ false or contrary TO the spirit OF the
sge. His good faith, his candor, his hrnne@ Of
conscience, and his purity OF heart have guided
him, and have made him attain many truths and
many realities which are not always within the
reach Of princes. Endowed with an inquiative
mind, be has wished 70 see everything, even that
which IL sought 10 hide from him. His journeys,
taken simply, without cortege and without state,
have taught him men and the world. In studying
history the fields Of battle the ashes Of which he
piouSy disturbed, he thus studied the human race
