PARIs, Jan. 20, 1854,
Events are hurrying onward The con.
fisca.ion Of the Orleans properly, which
mentioned to you the other day, has already |
been accomplished. A decree, published |
In the "Moniieur," orders the coniiscalion
Of nil that private domain, which Louis |
PHILIPPE, on ascending the throne, made |
over, with foresight. rather pa,ernal Than
royal, 10 his children. The other estates
OF the Orleans family, whelher descended
BY succession from the Prince do Conde, OF
from Madam Adelaide, are to be sold after
a years delay. With regard 10 the confs.
Gated properly, the intention is, by gross
pieoe OF machiavelian art, 10 divide i, among
those interests from which support is hoped
for, in order 10 render them accomplices IN
this brutal spolia,ion. Thus, the legion Of
honor. the clergy, the establishments TO
come) Of the "credi, fonceir,'* are all en-.
dowed al the expense of the D'Orleans.--l
Unfortunately, we have proverb 10 this
effec,--''s.olen goods prof. noIhing"-and
every thing would indicate tina. we shall
once more have reason 10 admi. It's nu.h.
II, is no, iha, am moved overmuch by
The lamentations Of the English and Belgi.
an iournals, who, npon this occasion, are
echoing the niurmA sof lhe Parisian par.
lours. ! unqueslionably disapprove Of this
confscalion; deem il unwise, unjust, and
absurd, even with regard to the interests Of
the bandili who rule US. The latter, by
this act, have seriously alarmed and alien.
a,ed the powerful class Of capitalists and
properly holders; they have shaken almos,
to its foundation the very principle Of pro.
perty, for, If the interests Of State to-day
require that the possessions Of Louis Phil.
lippe should be confscaied, why should they
not, on the morrow, demand the coE6sca,ion
Of all that belongs to M. Ro,hschild or M.
Greffulhe? The "burgeois" perceive the
aim and compass Of this blow, and hence,
have told you, that even in Bonapartist
point Of view, the measure was q stupid one.
In fact, 1t has created for Bonapar,e millions
Of enemies, and no, single friend. As TO
the "panegeux"f whom he has collected
around him, If his desire was 10 make al.
lies Of them, he has deceived himselG he
has only rendered them accomplices, and
+ men plunged in dishonor do not form an el-
ement Of s,rengfh--they are bu. bur.hen
However, | repeat TO you, care bu, little
for the Jeremiads Of men who have no
bowels Of feeling, excepting for money
, who without manifestation Of pity, saw
, thousands of innocent persons, shot down,
Imprisoned, or transported, and whose sole
return TO compassion is in bewailing tho
destitute condition Of family ,ha. still re.
,ains one Of the larges. fortunes, If no. the
very larges, in Europe. This commisera-
lion for money, this immovable harshness
: for men is not one Of The least characteristic
traits Of tho decentralization that infec,s a
. certain class, but it is clear that the latter
Twill NEE, i,s punishment in the very quarter
where |, has sinned. God has not delivered
Franco over 10 troop Of brigands and cut.
purses for nothing.
D Besides this decree has led 10 another i'm.
por,ani event--a change Of ministry, Mes.

which France has been the victim for Two
