measures, you also made similar visits to many
of the subordinate Generals of the army of
Paris whose names can give you if you are g-

terminated the interview with the declaration
that he would now take the advice of his friends,
not as to whether he shall take his seat, but
only with reference as to the proper time for
doing so.

the presence of General Ducrot, that only a re-
public or an empire was competent to restore
France, and he could serve no other rule.

vantage of President Theirs impatience, and
at the first opportunity to force his resignation,
make d Aumale President and to follow with a
declaration proclaiming the Count deChambord
King of France, the Count de Paris heir to tie
throne and the Due dAumale Lieut.. General Of
the Kingdom.
