no communication Of any importance is admitted
certain that 1t is not contrary to the views of the
government We have, consequently, every reason
to presume that the Prussian government notwith-
standing its sympathies for Legitimacy and its dis
like to universal suffrage, is overc ome BY the evil
dence of facts, and believes that it is laborng for
the security Of Germany, not less than for the
safety Of France, in opening the columns OF the
government journal to the attack, the most terrible
stricted suffrage. The article in question is the
gravest incident that could mark the opening OF the
session. and 1t is the part Of the three northern
courts, at least, indication of new dispositions,
which are considered by our private letters as =

at Vienna and st. Petersburg. The majority is

We recommend them to mediate carefully on the
tenor of the article to which we allude.
The Due de bordeaux, or the Count dc
Chambord, or Henry the Fifth.
M de Ia Guerronniere, one Of the editors of the
Pays, is now publishing series Of "politisal por-
traits" His description Of the Duc de Bordeaux,
alas Count de Oh ambord alas Henri Cinq, has
been copied into ell the legitimist journals of
Paris. The Union says
We hasten to place under the eyes of our readers
the portra ait of the Count de Chambori. traced by
the elegant pen of NJ de Ia Guerronniere. They
will see in reading this sketch of historical pic
ture, that the author has ebeyed, in turns two ex
traordinary currents Of sentiments and ideas; roy
aist by his origin, by the heart, and the magina-
tion, but drawn towards the republic by the combi-
nations of polt M dc Ia Guerronniere has found
lively and brilliant colors to retrace the ne physi
ognomy and the really royal character of the heir
Of Louis XIV. and Henry w. We take from the
work of M de Ia Guerronniere the impressions
which part from the heart, without occupying our
selves with the reflections by which he endeavors
to alternate them. Assuredly he cannot be charged
with having expressed his opinions with sincerity;
they are, however, produced under form which
leaves doubt to be perceived at the bottom of his
conscience. IL We abstain from reproducing them,
it is in order not to place ourselves under the obi
cation OF refuting them. We must know how to re-
spect the which respect what is highest and
most sacred in the world. M de Ia Guerronniere go
rifles the monarchy, Though declaring it impossible
in these new times He declares that the Count de
Chambord is at the same time the representative of
principle and man who best understands our
epoch-thst is to say, who resumes in himself the
past and the future. That sufices to US.
M de Guerronniere, after short introduction,
says:-
The Count de ChambOrd possesses the finest head
Of any prince in Europe The physical beauty Of
his rhysiognomy is only the reflection of moral
beauty. Frankness, uprightness, bene Violence, en-

the expression of the eyes, the tones OF the vssge,
the accent Of the voice. the cadency of gesture the
movements Of the hand, display the nanliness of a
healthy soul, which no breath has dried up, poi

luminous that it seems in approaching it that we
are only separated from it by glass. Thus is ex-
planned the sort Of fascination which this king with
out kingdom exercises on all those who approach
him. Ills head is disciowped Of its diadem, and
Jet there is on his forehead sort Of halo which Is
only the escape Of the internal light into physical
life. What strikes at the first aspect is neither the
perfection Of the features, the deicacy of the
Lines, nor the harmony Of proportions, nor anything
Of what constitutes material beauty. No! II Is
sympathy, increased by majesty; in a word, seme-
thing which carries you back to the grandeur Of
LOUIS XIV. and the goodness Of HenryIV. When
the Prince is on horseback, his open and large
breast, which seems to respire lie his strong and
supple arm, which holds the bride with vigor full
of abandon, gives to his bearing as much elegance
as dignity. In seeing bin pass thus along the

An Iluftrious lady, much more accustomed to ex-
erciss fascination than TO submit il, the Princess
dc Lieyen, one day met the Count de Chambord in
the house Of the Duchess de Noailles at Ems. She
was a competent, and, perhaps, rather o severe
judge. The curiosity Of Madame de Lieven was
very much excited. The figure Of a pretender was
wanting to the gallery Of her impressions; she
laughed with witty and mocking incredulity at the
tender enthusiasm which the friends OF this ne "
Prince Edward brought from their pilgrimage OF
fidelity. Accustomed as she was to receive, in the
familiarity Of her elegant conversations, the most
illustrous men Of Europe, she promised herself to
contemplate, without being dazzed, and without
emotion, this hereditary grandeur, the pale ray Of
setting sun which was about to disappear 10 time.
