that under fear of capture by the enemy he
swallowed dispatch which he was carry

covered and delivered to the officers at

was by them thrown into the fire unread.
Lieutenant N9ques swore that he fruit
lessly attempted 10 deliver Bazaine dis

Letter from Chanbord-He CIiugs to the
White Flag-He Alone as Capable Of
Guiding France,
The Count de Chamborf has written a
letter to NJ. De Chesnelong, one of the dele
CATION of the right, which recently waited
on him. The Count says misapprehens ms
have arisen tending to obscure his pOlcy
which is as clear as day. He owes the
whole truth to the country. He is asked to
sacrifice his honor; he em phaticallv declares
that he Ietracts nothing, curtails nothing of
his previous declarations.
The claims OF Yesterday foresbadows
what wOuld bs erected 20 morrow. He
can not iuaugurate d strong reign bv an
act of weakness He energetcally refuses
TO relinqu!sh the white flag. He indignant
ly repels insin cations that he mis-
trusts the Valor OF the soldiers On
the contrary ne seeks TO contide 20
them all he holds dear. He ignores
none Of the countrys glory and con ntinues:
We have great work to accomplish,
which ! am ready to undertake any mo-
ment. THIS is why wish to remain entirely
as l am. Were enfeebled to-day would
be powerless TO morrow. The issue at stake
is the reconstruction OF society, and ener-
getic endurance Of law, order and pros
perity. Especially should We not fear to
employ force in the service of order and
justice.
Conditions and guarantees are spoken Of
were any required, by the Count of Paris,
who came to me spontaneously at the die
tates of patriot'sln preserved intact our
traditions and liberties, and have the right
to reckon on equal confidence"
The letter concludes as follows:
"My personality is nothing; principle is
every thing; France will see an end to her
troubles when she understands this am
the necessary pilot alone capable of guild
ing her into port, because i have the mis-
sion of authority. France can not perish
because Christ still loves her"
