About August LIST, an eruption appeared
on my arms and legs, which panied me
very much and seemed to affect my physi-
cal condition generally. Under treatment
of physician the sores disappeared eX-
cept on my left leg. There it seemed to
concentrate, and two-thirds of the limb
from the knee to the ankle soon became a
solid running sore that discharged bloody
matter continually. wastreated by many
physicians at various times, but obtained
no permanent relief. On the advice Of a
physician at this place, | finally commenced

THE EXILED PRINCES.

Public opinion in Paris is greatly
excited over the turn which the move
llIent for the expulsion of the Princes
has taken. II is no longer doubted
that the Senate in voting for the law
OF exile adopted in the Chamber did
so as the direct result of q pressure
brought TO bear by the Ministry on
the Republican majority. Among the
Senators of the moderate Left thirty
were induced to absent themselves
from the Senate Chamber. Several
Republican journals demand that the
Ministry shall show the same energy
in dealing with the Anarchists and
enemies of public order which it has
displayed toward the royal pretenders.
The departure of the Princes was
the signal for genuine sorrow through
out France. All along the route the
people turned out and conveyed their
sympathy. The Comte de Paris arrived
at Dover, England, and was welcomed
by large number Of people, including
many Frenchmen The Mayor and
chief magnates of the town boarded
the vessel, welcomed the party and ex-
pressed sympathy with them, and pre-
sented an address to the Comte de
Paris to which the latter made 4 feel
ing reply, in which he said he rejoiced
that he had so many friends in Eng
