COurbet's letter would have made a much deeper
mark II IL had not been made TO appear nsncere, ana
prompted much by spleen at not having Deeh deco
rated earlier by any real objection to monarchca
distinctions I'm consequence OF the discovery that ne
already wears AZ his buttonhole the order OF st. Michel
given him last year by the King OF Bavaria This is not
J,snuted and fear the Master OF Ornans," as he Is
called by his admirers from the village where he spends
most o, bIs time will find 1t troublesome to explain THIS
little anomaly
The Queen Isabellas abdcaon Of her rights TO the
Spanish crown and her besowal OF them on her soha
little boy In ackets-s domestic farce that dckled
Tho par,sians for an hour or two early in the week
Tbere xvas GREAT attempt to make solemn occasion OF
u and several OF the Journals which are nothing IL not
dignhed essayed the next morning 10 speak W
their readers about IL but there was no use the DeSe
comment on the event was made, unconscionsy ny INC
little prince Alfonso himself. As soon as the ceremony
was over and the queen, the innocent lSaDea' DO '
Rappel calls her, who dressed for the occasion
On coored sk and lace with pearls In her ears and
round her neck and chain OF diamonds about her siz
able waist had duly tainted in her mothers arms and
reyiying had had her hand kissed by all the company
the Young Alfonso ran up to his uncle-hiS papa, ny
reason of being divorced from his mamma not Deihs
present-and cried out quite naturally ana DoyKe, oh
have YOU seen my new veocpedei Come into the gar
den and try her and ON yelocpede the chase Isabella
passes from the eyes OF a titterng generation
suppose Won have published the letter Of the Orleans
Princes demanding permission to return to France III
was addressed TO the Chamber, and would have peen
ouietv sbelyed by Messrs Schneider and olivier IT, I'M
fortunately for those gentlemen peuton 10 tne sao
effect had not been presented by On individual Deputy
This must be considered and is on tho carpet for TO-
morrow The petition is presented as you know by the
MARQUIS de Pre- an avowed enthusiastic friend Of the
Empire and presented averred in the best interest
OF the Empire II is said but the truth seems hard TO
get at that the Emperor himself favors the recall OF the
Princes olivier however dead set against It, and Is
threatening and bullying the Deputies declaring that IL
shall cost them dissolution OF the House II they vote it,
and insisting looking upon q vote favorable
10 the exies as treason TO the Empire The movement
is i'm truth very curious one, and it is impossible to say
what ia its full significance. The Princes very highly
esteemed by Of all parties, even by those VINO thnk
nothing their chances by those who as sworn Re
pubcans ready 10 resist their accession TO the
throne the death Their personal record Is cean their
names untarnshed They at least not perurers, as
sassins adulterers pickers OF the public purse-who
ever else that crown may be. ever they wear
a crown the precious diadem will not have been stolen
from shelf but will have been honestly come by and
IL they reign their reign will not its beginning to
fraud and its continuance to force.
Their letter is criticised not having been addressed
to the Emperor but to the Chamber But as they were
exied by law and not by decree-by law voted by the
sembly in 1s49-the Emperor has nothing TO do
with the matter. The Princes, therefore, have acted
with strict regard both to legality and II that were any
matter to etiquette. Fault also has been found with
them for signing their letter in an order which, in the
eyes OF unfrendy persons seems to indicate spirit
contradictory their expressed wish to enter France
not as pretendants but simple citizens But that the
Princes should have signed their in the order OF
their ages perfectly natural tits what every family
would do in case OF being called to sign family docu
ment.
spoke the other day Of the Garden Of the TuileIies
which in the absence OF the Emperor and his family the
public is allowed to enjoy. 1t is the most beautiful
spot Paris just now with its beautiful roses its trim
lawns kept duly shaved and watered and its pretty
shrubbery. 1t is also great convenience to be allowed
pass through it shOrtens the from the Pon
Royal to the Rue de Rivol considerably. Apropos Of
this garden there an amusing anecdoe Of Camille Des-
moulins:
He had appointment and came late and out Of
breath.
"why are you latel" said his friend.
Oh" he replied, 81 had to go all the way round the
garden, for the King was let loosel" c. c.
