would not Last six weeks"
On the z7th-ths day Of the conversation already
all the persons in London who had belonged to
the Kings household, or that Of the Princes
Amongst them were the Count Montalivet, M
mas, General Chsbsnnes, General Friant, General
de Berthot, the Countess Mollisu, etc. The
conversation was at first Of general kind, and not
Of much interest. The Prince de Joinville talked
good deal with M Montalivet, as well a. with 9th
ePs of the party 1t was clear that he was perfectly
acquainted with all that had passed the same
morning in the Queens apartments, and was evi-
that had been made to his claims to the Presidency
After continuing some time, he said that he had
adopted resolution; that the friends OF his family
had proposed him candidate without hav wing in
brother or the Queen that these friends had not
been authorized to do 50, but that none of the fa-
mily considered they ought to disavow them that,
for his part, he was .perfecty free; that nothing
would be decided without consulting with all the
members of the family, and after the arrival of the
Duke d'Aumale. who was not expected in London
until the 10TH Or perhaps, the 10th, of September
that he (the Prince de Joinvile) was in state of
doubt and perplexity impossible to describe that
the more he thought of the affair, the he was
struck with its difficulties and its dangers that he
was utterly unable to see his way clear in such
matter, and that he was in much need Of the coun-
sci of the Duke d'Aumale, by whose calm judgment
and good sense he hoped to be able to extricate
himself; and, suddenly stamping on the ground he
exclaimed, lnereS tne consequence OI nearing
only one bell" Uiola ee que e'est de m'entendre qu-
une SeiaLe Coche y; we have never listened to any
but those who were of the same opinion this is the
first time we have been shown the difficulties aud
the obstacles that in our way! there's the con-
sequence of only hearing one bell!'
The question now naturally oc ,urs-what def
nitive resolution will be adopted by the family!
1t is difficult to answer for what may take place
tached and disinterested friends Of the house Of
Orleans. But the opinion Of many, If not all, Of
those friends is, that the resolution will be the
as that which was most in favor with the royal
family previous to the in oidents Of the 27th namely,
that the family will adept the pretensions of the
Prince de Jonville, but that the fact Of that adop
those who in favor of them; that those preten-
tions will be confdentally approved, supported,
and promoted; that should those pretensons pro-
mise success the Prince will undertake the risk if
| the contrary, he will withdraw, ready. doubt,
to avow or disavow, according to circumstances
1t is not probable that the opinion Of the Duke
dAumale will be different from that Of the other
members of the family; and in fact, it may be said
that the Duchess Of Orleans is at this moment the
representative Of their intentions and wishes She
it is who most earnestly desires that the Prince de
Joinville should be President Of the French repub
lie. Notwithstanding the declarations of the
certainty of his rendering back the republic as
immaculate as he received it, her reasons for such
preference are obvious to any one who reflects for
moment. The new President will be elected, of
course, for four years his powers will expire in
1856 that is, three months before the majority of
the Count de Paris, which will be completed on the
24th of August of that year so that it will be suf
cient for the Prince Of Joinville to maintain his
government, as regent, for three months only, in
order to re establish the monarchy Of July, in the
person Of his nephew. II is not surprising if such
prospect, presented by clever AID eloquent advisers
has been sufficient to seduce the mother of the
Count Of Paris, as well as the uncles Of the young
prince.
may add that the most respectable members of
the Oreanst party express themselves with much
regret, if not anger, at the manner in which NJ
Guizot and his friends were received at Claremont
1t has indisposed many against the princes. 1t is
probable that this feeling will not be without ad
is expected that one joumal-the great advocate
of the "fusion"-may, before long, support that
cause.
mentioned something the other day of the
rumor about some measure to be introduced in the
Assembly for the repeal Of the laws Of exile against
the Bourbon family, and at the suggestion Of the
President, in order to give France full opportu-
nifty Of making choice If such an idea exist,
am told it would be rather embodied in the Presi-
dents message to the Assembly than in any other
form. All this, however, must depend on circuu-
stances.

We have before mentioned the submission Of the
insurgents Of Puerto Principe the disembarking Of
Lopez and the possible fight ofhis band, then the
execution OF fifty adventures, amongst whom was
forty Americans, seized in the waters of Cuba By
a Spanish steamer Of war. The sensation produced
by this news was. we have said, profound and ge
neral in New York, and in all the saveholding
states. Meetings were called, in which the right
Of the central government to prevent expeditions
for the annex alton Of Cuba, was highly contested

The right of the central government is incontest-
bic. 1t represents, alone, the American Union be-
