"A correspondent Of the London Times has
had an interview with the Count de Chambord
at Antwerp, end relates the conversation for
the benefit of the public. The Count does not
contemplate returning 10 France in his pres
ent position. He cannot always live there in.
ecgnIto. neither can he live there as private
citizen. He represents himself as being in
favor of q representative monarchy, aud uni
yersal suffrage, as distinguished from "uni'
.yersal chance" which at present very ire
ouently controls the choice OF electors. he
stismatizes as calumni0us the assertions OF
his opponents that he desires to re-estaollsh
special teudal rights, recoasttute castles,
and restore to the clergy Its ancient powers
and wealth. He aspires to be the monarch OF
the entire nation, Notwithstanding any Of its
prerogatives, aud respecting liberty OF con-
science and OF creeds. 1n reference to restor-
ing the Pope 10 his temporal power, the Count
merely said ,lhstthe Holy Father knows that
he must rely upon One who Is more powerful
than earthly klngs. In conclusion, he stated
that he had for the present abandoned the 10.
tpn,ion of producing another manifesto. /,
