TIE COmte de Chambord Claims the vhronc,
The Ptdre de Loire publishes the following
letter, which, it asserts, has been written aud
distributed by the Count de Chambord:-
Monseigneur is greatly affected by the situa-
tion of France. He follows with anxious solici-
tude the disastrous events which have brought
the enemy before Paris, and now his bosom
swells with the thought that it is perhaps to
him, with Providence for his help that should
be confided the honor of saving our unhappy
country.
is the heir and which is resumed in his person,
has done great things in days past, and more
than once has saved France.
Monseigneur is convinced that this noble task
is now hie, and that to-day, as ever, right will
triumph over might. He is, therefore, about'to
devote himself to this great work with all the
prudence and energy which the circumstances
require, and he calls upon his friends to accord
him their devo ed assistance.
The cause of monarchy is now what it has
always been-the cause of France herself.
Many have given it to events, to interest, and
influence, and other considerations. But now
we have light. Revolution, whatever its form,
has never given peace, security, or liberty to
the country. From the beginning she has
always oscillated between anarchy and despot-
ism, and to-day, for the third time, her sacred
soil is invaded and defled by the foreigner.
Monseigneur saws, therefore, to all,
'Do not be disquieted, but hope. On the proper
occasion | will present myself. On the day
when France will have need of me, for whatever
purpose, l shall be there. For forty years l
have shown that have not cared for power,
but have always cherished in my heart the
love of France, and my devotion will always
keep on level with my duty
The oath is abolished, and consequently he
can say that to his friends which he could not
say before. Monseigneur earnestly calls upon
them to avail themselves of the electoral func-
tions, to become members of the communal and
departmental councils, mayors, adjuncts, ETC.,
in order to be present everywhere where they
may advance the moral and material interests
of the country.
In few days constituent assembly is to be
elected. Will it be able to meet and do its
disasters of the country? 1t is neces-
sary then, for the safety of our country that all
parties set aside their ndecision and suscepti-
bility and come to us, because we represent
right, truth, and justice. 1t is necessary that
all those Frenchmen who have bowed the head
to circumstances, and to the ephemeral powers
which have owed their existence to circum-
stances, should at lastsrecogniZe the hereditary
monarchy is now the only haven in which they
can find peace, honor, and security.
The empire has delivered US over to the
foreigner; the republic is impotent in the pre-
sence of so great disaster, and besides, she
alarms by her doctrines and exaggerations.
There remains, then, hereditary traditional
monarchy, which, in unison with the whole
country, will hunt the invaders from our soil or
obtain from them an honorable peace which
peace will be sincere and lasting, inasmuch as
it will preserve intact both the honor and terri
tory of France. =
Monsgneur presents these reflections to the
consideration of all his friends, and earnestly
requests them to conform to these instructions
in all those provinces where they have the right
to count on success.
Confidence devotion, and firmpessl God will
do the rest!
