OF Ecmours and Aumale, to their friends and ad-
herents in Paris, In which they recommended for
getfulness OF the past and union for the future,
were read ut select parties Of the friends Of both
branches assembled ut the house Of the Marquis do
Pastoret. The good Queen Amelies name was
also made Of TO influence her mum rous and de-
voted admirers. In short, it appeared as if the
fusion was to be complete as its most earnest
supporters could desire.
Unfortunately all these hopes are already van
ishing. The personal feeliny q and personal ambi-
tion Of some OF the a,tors too deeply engaged
in the question. A small but important section of
the Orleanists who would be utterly ainihiated
by the return of the elder branch still hold out for
the cause Of the Ctmte dc Paris and the regency Of
the Duchess Of Orleans. Nj. Theirs and some OF
his friends too deeply compromised by the affair
of the Duchess Of Berri, and by their opinions on
religious questions, to hope for favor mercy from
Henry v, or the High Church party; and the
Duchess Of Orleans herself is said to DC still buoyed
up with the hope that the day Is not distant when
her will be called back by the general voice Of
France. These fears and hopes are AN eifectual
bar TO complete fusion and a. some of the princ-
pal leaders Of the party in question seem 10 peter
The republic itself to the return of Henry ", the
opposition will probably be an injury to the inte-
rests of the family.
Within the last few days an affair has turned up
which is still more dangerous to the OF Henry
v. A schism has already arisen between tho fusion
lists. The old adherents of the cause of the elder
branch think that the family OF Louis Philippe ought
not to con6ne their support of the cause OF Henry v
to private assurances given to the Comte de Cham
Paris. They insist that the princes of the House Of
Orleans should Tin imitation Of the conduct Of Comte
de Chambord, who, in his letter to NJ Berger, has
limited at the reconciliation between the two branch
esq publish public demonstration in favor Of Henry
V. To this the princes and their adherents d,mur
They say that in withdrawing their opposition to
Henry they have done all that be expected Of
them; that they cannot go further without declaring
Louis Philippe an usurpcr; that as they abidcd by
the decision of France in 1890 when the nation almost
unanimously placed Louis Philippe on tho throne,
so they ready ut the present moment 70 abide
by her present determination to the choice OF q
ruler; and that if the choice Of France should full
upon the Comtc dc Chambord, they will not only
not do anything to retard the accomplishment Of
that wish, but will be the first adhere to it, This
answer does not, by any means, satisfy the legiti-
misis, and the dispute runs high, that it has al
ready almost annihilated all hopes of sincere
Cancellation of the parties. The recent result Of
NJ Crcton's proposition for the repeal OF the laws
which exile the Bourbons, has increased the diff
Guilty. M. Bcrryer declared that the Comte dc
Chambord will never enter France except king
and the princes of Orleans refuse to enter into
gotiations until they are allowed to do so on tho
soil Of France. The consequence is, that the oppo-
sition given by M. Berger to NJ CretOn's PROPOSE
tion, has widened the division between the
branches.
