Exiles, some for England and Others for
Belgium and Switzerland.
PARIS, June 24.-The government at
three O'Clock yesterday afternoon issued
a decree expelling the French princes
from the country.
When the Count of Paris received the
result of the division on the Expulsion
bill his son and the Duke des Chartres,
who were with him, burst into tears The
inhabitants of Eu collected in groups on
the streets to discuss the situation. The
gates of the chateau will be opened at
eleven O'Clock to-day to admit the towns
people OF Eu and Treport, who desire the
Count to receive an expression of their
sympathy.
One thousand persons called at the
Chateau d'Eu yesterday and inscribed
their names in a special book. The
Comte de Paris shook hands with each
one and briefly expressed his thanks.
The Count and Countess of Paris and
their son, Prince Louis Philippe, after
receiving their friends to-day will embark
at Treport this afternoon, arriving at
Tunbridge Wells, England, on Friday,
and will take up their residence there.
The Count will issue manifesto protest.
ing against his expulsion and outlining
the monarchical programme.
Prince Napoleon started for Geneva
this evening. He was accompanied by
number of friends to the railway station,
where a large concouTSe of people had
assembled. No demonstration, however,
was attempted. Whence the Prince took
his departure the station was closed to
the public, but a dense crowd, estimated
at 5000, gathered outside. There were
counter-cries of "Vive PEmpereur" and
and "Vive la Republique." NJ. Ornano,
a Royalist, tried to rally party in order
20 make a demonstration, but the police
hustled the crowd roughly.
Police Secretary Loze visited Prince
Napoleon and Prince Victor and stated
that the government was disposed to al
low them time in which to arrange their
affairs. Both the princes declined to
avail themselves of the offer.
Prince Victor and fifteen of his most
prominent adherents, including the Mar
quiS of Valette and Baron HauSman,
started yesterday for Brussels. The
train bearing the party left the station
amid cries of "Vive PEmpereur," "Au
Reyoir" and shouts of "Vive la Repub-
lique." There was some Kissing. Sew
eral persons were arrested.
At reception before starting for Brus-
sells, Prince Victor said: ''Do not ex-
pect a vain protest from me. A people
sometimes takes it upon itself to open its
doors to an exile. | remain represent
ative of the empire as the NapoeOns con-
Stituted it. favor firm authority, equal
ity of all citizens and respect for all
creeds. Be assured that whatever call
duty may make, | shall not be found
wanting in the fulfllment of what owe
to the democracy and my name. Au re-
voir"
Count Foucher de Cartel, ambassador
to the Austrian Court, has resigned, in
protest against the action of his govern
ment in expelling the French princes.
1t is believed that M. Waddington,
French ambassador to the Court of ST.
James, will resign in consequence of the
expulsion of the princes. His resigna-
tion is momentarily expected.
M. Hendlc, Prefect of the Seine In
ferieure, bluntly declined to notify the
COmte de Paris of his expulsion.
The royal press pronOunces the passage
of the expulsion bill the forerunner of
the downfall of the republic. The mod
crate Republican papers generally criti-
else the measure as unjust. The OppOr-
tunst journals urge the government to
discard the demands of the irreConcila-
bles and Radicals, and then demand a
flrmer Republican policy.
La Patrie, newspaper, notes the coinci-
dence of the expulsion with the anniver-
sary of Napoleon'S great victory at Sol
ferino, and thinks it of good augury.
NJ. Rochefort, in the IntranSigeant,
taunts the Senate with pusillanimity. He
says it is willing to vote If pressed hard
enough, in any way the government
chooses.
BRUSSELS, June 24.-Prince Victor
Napoleon, while the clocks were striking
midnight, arrived here by the train from
Paris, accompanied by the Marquis de
La Valette, Henri de Chevreau, Deputy
Jolibois, the Due de Padua, the Comte de
Fleury and NJ. Jules Boittelle. A by
stander said to me, pointing to the
Prince: ''Il paraissait tres sombre."
Sad they all looked, a
good subject for picture.
In imperial circles, several hundred peo-
ple-many representatives and CORE
spondents of the press among them
were at the depot These maintained
absolute silence, and the Prince walked
among them without saying one word,
and with an air of glacial coldnesS. There
was not even hat raised as the Prince
and his friends drove in their landaus,
with the capotes closed, to the Hotel
Bellevue, where he will stop until the
house he has bought in the environs of
the Bois de la Cambre is ready.
