The late Duchess of Orleans was in receipt of an
allowance from the French government namely, the
sum settled on her Royal Highness at her marriage:
For, though the Emperor insisted that the House of
Orleans should not continue to hold such vast terri
torial possessions in France he yet continued the
State allowance to the Duchess of Orleans. On the
death Of the Duchess il was hoped that his imperial
Majesty would continue the allowance to the Comte
de Paris and the Due de Charities, but there is good
reason to believe this expectation will not be real
lied, and that communication has been received in
London which destroys all hope of the young princes
ever receiving any portion of their mothers allow
ance from the Emperor.

reads should be borne by the budget of his ministry

The French government, in order to encourage
the cod fishery OF Newfoundland, makes various con-
"
amongst them is the grant of portions of the beach
OF the Islands St Pierre and Mqueon, which belong
to it. One of the concessions was made in 1889 to
NM. Guibert and Sons. of st. Servans, including
portion of the beach of St. Pierre But the whole Of
that portion was never occupied by them, either in
the sailing drying Of fish, and some time back the
authorities Of the island ordered that that ac
count the conce sson should be annulled. NM. Gui.
bert and Sons appealed to the Council of State, and
that body has now decided that the authorities
ought not to have annulled the concession without
at least giving notice to the parties that they would
be required TO execute, within given period all the
conditions connected with it. IL therefore declared
their decision void and allowed the appellants two
years from LIST of May next to occupy the whole Of
the concession.
