missal-Shakiness of the Ministry.
PARIS, Jan. 29.-At a conference be-
tween the Ministry and the commission
ers on bills for expelling the Orleans
Princes from France, held to-day. NJ. Bill
lot while in a great measure favoring the
Orleans Princes, admitted that the con-
duct of some of them was not such as he
could altogether approve. NJ. BiIlot con-
fessed that the Due De Chartres left his
regiment without leave to visit the Due
DAumale's camp. NJ, BilIOt blamed the
officers Of the army for addressing
the Princes as Monseigneur
when off duty, and admitted the incon-
yenience of having Princes in the army,
for where there were planets there would
be satellites. NJ. BillOt aequiesced in the
statement that the Versailles Commission
ON grades, which . confirmed commits
sions of the Orleans Princes. was in
the main Orleanist in its complexion.
Gen. Billot, Minister of War, pointed out
before the Expulsion Committee today
that if the appointment of the Due
pAumale as General of division was
cancelled, all the official work done by
him would fall to the ground, notably
the sentence passed ON Marshal Bazaine,
which Due D'Aumale signed as President
of the court martial.
The doctors fear that NJ. Duclerc has
pleurisy, and have ordered for him absO-
lutte repOse. The committee on the eX-
pulsiOn bills will present their report to
the Chamber of Deputies tomorrow. The
debate on those measures will commence
on Monday. The minority of the COM
mittee are trying to effect a compromise
between the committee and the govern
ment.
1t has been ascertained that NJ. Duclerc's
symptoms are those of Inflammation of
the chest. The doctors hope to arrest the
course of the disease.
MARsEILLEs, Jan. 26.-SeveraI of the
Republicans have telegraphed their repre-
sentatives in the Chamber of Deputies to
support NJ. FlOquet's proposition pro-
hibiting the presence in France or Algeria
of any member of former French dynas-
ties.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Paris cores
pOndent of the Standard says that the
government is so disunited that it does
not know what to do,
The Times in an editorial article saws:
cit seems probable that the DucIerc Cabi-
net will be beaten in the Chamber of
Deputies on Monday. The most remarka-
bic features of the crisis is the rapiditv
with which Frenchmen of all conditions
have begun to despair of the republic. The
discOuragement does not yet show itself
i'll the newspaper press, but it is too ap-
parent in private conversation. 1t would
be rash to suppose because the Republi-
cans are disheartened that therefore the
republic is doomed. 1t is on trial, but it
has strength to survive many Mistakes
A Paris dispatch says: at is reported
that Mr.. BenOit, the Magistrate intrusted
with the investigation of Prince JerOme's
case, has notified the government that in
his opinion there exists no basis for
charge against the Prince. Meanwhile it
is affirmed that President Grevy yester-
day refused to sign decree of eX-
pulsion on the ground that a special
law on the subject must first be
voted. Since Monday Prince Jerome
had been unable to take his usual eXer-
else in the cOnciergerie, owing to an affec-
ton of the heart with which he is suf-
fering"
AT the Elysee last night the word dis
solution was heard, but the result of a
general parliamentary election at the
present crisis is feared
A dispatch from Paris SAYS: IN
Duclere has undergone a cupping opera
tiOn. The streets in the first, second and
eighth reimbursement, in which are sit
uated the Louvre BOmse, the Bank of
France, the Elysee, the Palace and many
other public buildings, have been.patrOlled
by small detatchments of infantry for
several nights past.'
