PARIS, Dec. 9.-The Orleans Princes waited
on President Theirs yesterday and had long

seats in the Assembly.

cree OF general amnesty will be introduced in
the Assembly next week.

nent. Theirs will relinquish the Presidency in
favor of Duke D'Aumale. He has agreed to
this movement with the Duke and all the nfir-
entail members of the right approve of it. The
Orleans Princes will not take their seats till
this plan is carried out, then the change will be

constantly increasing power of the Imperialists
in the army.
