1&at on Thursday another interview
took place between Theirs and the Or
leans Princes, which was of an unfriend-
| ly character. Theirs complained that
the Due D'Armale had not strictly OBJ
served his previous agreement, mas
much as he had endeavored to secure
Generals in his favor. The Due DAT
male denied this. Theirs said: 81
know you visited many Generals who
are members Of the Assembly. with a
view to obtain their support. ]. doubt
not your aim is politics. Twas partic-
ularly surprised and discontinued that
you also made similar visits to many of
the subordinate Generals" The Due
answered evasively, and terminated the
interview with the declaration that he
would take the advice of his friends
not as to whether he shall take his seat,
but only with reference as to the prop
er time for doing so. Gen. Bourbaki
told the Due D'Armale, in the presence
of Gen. Ducrot, that only q Republic
or an Empire was competent to restore
France. He could serve no other re-
gime. The Orleans plan is for the
Right to take advantage of Theirs i'm
patience, and at the first opportunity
force his resignation, and make the
Due D'Armale President.
