PARIS, June 24.-The French Govern.
ment issued yesterday an edict cNpelling
the French Princes from France. Prince
Victor and fifteen OF his most prominent
adherents, including the Marquis OF
Valette and Baron Hausman, started for
Brussels. The train bearing the party left
the station amid cries OF 'Vive HEhm-
pereur!!' eau ~revoir!" and shouts OF ''Vive
la Republique!!" There was some Kissing.
Several persons were arrested. At a re-
ception before starting for Brussels Prince
| Victor said:
"Do not expect a vain protest from me.
A people sometimes takes it upon itself to
open its doors to an exile. I remain a rep
resentative of the Empire as the Napoleons
constituted it. / favor firm authority,
equality OF all citizens and respect for all
creeds. Be assured that whatever call
duty may make | shall not be found want
| ing in the fultillment of what lowe to the
democracy and to my name. Au revoir."
Prince Victor attracted very little atten-
ton on his arrival in Brussels.
Prince jerome Napoleon started for
Geneva last evening. He was accompa
MED by a number of friends to the railway
station. The station was closed to the
