Departure of the Ex-Empress-The Ministry
and Its Measures.
PARIS Jan. N-The departure of Eugene,
which took place to-day, attracted large
crowd, who evinced the warmest sympathy.
The Grand Duke Constantine carried to her
private message from President Grevy, that
her presence in Paris was undesirable 1t is
difficult to say whether her departure is due
to that message or the persuson of friends,
all of whom are grieved by her imprudent
action. There was no deep-laid scheme in
her coming, but hearing of the arrest of
Prince Napoleon, she telegraphed Rouher
thai she was coming with her attendants,
and asked to have the same rooms occupied
by her husband in 1S4S This was the
only point of political significance in the
whole affair, and the story that she
went to consult an oculist would have been
believed, except that she has seen few lead
ing people here.
Ex-Empress Eugenie was refused permis-
sion to visit Prince Jerome. Nobody sup
poses she really wanted to see him. Her
mission, whatever it was, failed of its object.
The Imperialists declare that the ex-
Empress was not requested to quit France,
but left only because she feared the marks of
sym paIny Sne reCelNeu lnlSnb develop INTO q
political demonstration, and thereby COM
promise her friends. Among her visitors
were Marshals MacMahon and Canrobert
1t is said the ex-Empress expressed to
Prince Napoleon her general appreciation of
the terms of his manifesto, but added
thereto q recommendation that he should
formally renounce his claims as the heir of
the Bonapartes in favor OF Prince Victor. and
so seal the union of the Imperialist party
and confirm the testament of the Prince I'm
perial.
Just before the ex-Empress departed a
young priest pushed his way through the
crowd of friends who surrounded the ex-
Empress's carriage. After kissing her hand
respectfully he whispered to her for few
moments. He then Withdrew and Joined
another priest, with whom he left the station.
The incident caused some sensation, as no
one seemed to know who the young priest
was.
THE AGITATION AMONG THE POLITICIANS
The cabinet can certainly only continue in
office two or three days during the excite
ment concerning the expulsion of the pre-
tenders
Prince Napoleon seems to be entirely lost
sight of. One would think the Orleans
princes were the only persons affected by
the various proposals of the government.
DuClerc, Fallieres, Deves and BiIlot held
conference, this afternoon, with the COM
mittee on the bills relative to the question
of the expatriation of the Orleans princes
DuClerc stated that he considered Flo
quets motion too extreme, and it
was offensive to the ministry Con-
sidering the vigorous measures adopted
towards Prince Jerome, Billot laid stress on
the bad effect of the adoption of Ballues
motion providing for cashiering the Orleans
princes might produce upon the army. He
considered that inviolability of rank was a
conservative principle in the army Mem
bers OF the cabinet have unanimously re-
solved to oppose Floquet's motion, but
complete agreement does not exist among
them in regard to the provisions OF the gov
ernments bills. The ministers will NEE again
tonight or tomorrow morning to decide
finally in relation to the questions at issue.
the majority of the Chamber of Deputies
circles
The Temps maintains that the disquietude,
except throughout the country does not
arise from the abandonment of the policy OF
reserve hitherto observed by the princes OF
the former dynasties, but from fear, re
vived by recent incidents, that the republi-
can regime is incompatible with responsible
ity of any kind. The Temps charges the
government with want of GOODNESS and direct
ing power, and expresses a hope that reason
will soon regain the upperhand.

sooner than is generally expected"
