endeavored to interest the generals in his

lald bare your purpose. You saw General

You called. You saw Generals Marten, de
Pallierez, Chanzy, and others.
DOUBT not your aim is patriotic,
but to pursue it thus. is not in accordance
with our agreement. and was par ticularly
surprised. Not satisfied with these meas
ures, you also made similar visits to many
OF the subordinate generals OF the army of
Paris, whose names | can give YOU if YOU

The due answered evasiyely and fermi-
mated the interview with the declaration
that he would now take the advice of his

his seat, but with reference only as to the
proper time for doing so.
General BOurbaki told the Due d d'Aumale
in presence of General Ducrot. that only 8:
republic or empire was competent to re-
store France, and he could serve no other
regime.
The Orleans plan is for the right to take
