MOVEMENTS OF THE Ex-RoYAL FAMILY.-wILL
THE FRIScE DE JoISvILLE BE A CANDIDATE!
[From q Paris Letter, Sept. 4, in the London Times
The Importance attached to the question of the
pretensions Of the Prince de Jonyille WILL perha ps,
be the best apology for again referring to 1T. My
letter Of Sunday last, giving an account OF the inter-
view between the roy family and the personages
who we're formerly attached to the service OF King
Louis Philippe, has already produced some sensa-
tion here, and is likely to produce more: | now
learn, excellent authority, that the explanations
which took place on that occasion have not been
without effect on the mind Of the Prince, to whom
they more particularly referred; and even on the
Duke dc Nemours, his brother, and the Queen
Marie Amelie. The same, no Eeyer, cannot be said
Of the Duchess Of Orleans who is described as still
firm and resolute in her purpose. This, though
il may be regretted, is scarcely to be Tered at
.or the simple reason tba. the part proposed to be
taken by the Prince de Joinville would be to her
advaltsge-at Least, such is her own idea. The
letters that have been received in Paris from Clare
mont since that interview aud the persons who have
arrived here, confirm and complete the ac,ounts
have already given and there Is now no doubt
that If there existed any uncertainty previous to
the 9Th in that royal abode, none is now to be
found there
On the day preceding tie funeral ceremony Of
the 10Th, some few persons in whose favor an ex-
ception had been made, received at Clare mont
by the Queen, the Prince, and the Dutchess Of Or
leans. Those persons ascertained tina. the feeling
then was positively in favor of the pretensions Of
the Prince de Jonville.
A distinguished member of the magistracy, who
dl!s important functions in Paris, aud which place
him in close connection with the higher commercial
and Industrial classes Of the capital, begged the
occasion Of an interview with the Duke of Nemours,

the persons who, on his return to Paris, might in

family. The Duke replied, after his usual manner,
that the family of King Louis Philippe would await
with patience the pleasure Of France, and that they
were ready the moment France wanted or required
