publican wOrkmen from the District OF ROuen, that
very large majority of the wOrkmen IN that extensive
manufacturing district Gall Republicans were in favor
of the return of Count de Chambord; and few days
aerward when large numbers lost their situations by
want of work the garrisons throughout that District
were doubled by the Government.
Why will the Republican party aid the elevation OF
the last of the BOurbons to the throne Because
majority ofthe people of France admit that the present
Government had its origin in the popular element, and
that draws its force and its stability from that sources
while the origin and the power of the Bourbon King
will be derived from legendary, traditional power of

the French people, it should have been. Moreover,
the present chief of the state strong man. full OF
energy, of determination and of strategy while the
Count de Chambord is man whom they Will be able to
throttle before he shall have regned month And that
will be his destiny if he should be weak enough to con-

party therefore, being DESTROYS of getting rid OF the
Bourbon as well the BOnaparte family, and feeling
that the Count de Chambord not only on account OF
the origin of bis claims, but in his personal qualities,
will be much the least of the two evils intends to
adopt that course which will most cOnduce to the ee-
walton of Henry V. to the throne of France.

these projects will be. The Duke de NemOurs said to

throne of France were good-Or what WAS equivalent

All this question however is masked by the war in
the East and il is difficult to predict solution IL
has been asserted that the fusion has some connection
with the Eastern question: and that other monarchs
have been instrumental in bringing it about Very little

a reaction will take place But the question is, to
