EXll0d ROYALTY.

Republican France has doubtless done
an unwise thing in exiting the princes"
who have been thrust out from their ma
tive land with the sympathy of European
royalty generally, and of large minor
ity of the people of France, where the
"royalty idea" was represented at the
last election by the three and half mil
lion votes of the Conservative party.
Exiling the princes gives them the ad-
vantage of being prosecuted, and their
condition is an appeal for the sympathy
of the French people stronger than any
that could be made while they were liv-
ing quietly among their fellow citizens
conforming to the republican institutions
that had been established. If the princes
would plot for their restoration they are
much more likely to when the desire to
return to their loved country is added to
the impunity with which they can con-
spre in foreign land against govern
ment that has declared them enemies

numberless emissaries willing to serve
them from loyalty, ambitious hopes or
for pay. AS might have been expected
the exiled head of the house of Bourbon,
Prince Phillippi, at once issued his mani
festo, and the effort to regain the throne
of his ancestors is openly announced.
The house of Bonaparte is now weak in
Imperial timber, and the Bourbons will
probably have their turn next, when the
Republic ends ere many years.
The following is the brief decree of
exile:

public is, and remains, interdictcd TO the heads
of families which have reigned over France and
to their direct heirs in the order Of primOgen

pei by special decree the other members of these
