The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from Meshed, via Teheran, giving the
latest information in regard TO Thomas
Stevens and his globe girdling bicycle:
Stevens went from Meshed to Bertrand with
the intention of reaching India via Siestan and
Beloochistan, but after talking with the Hesh-
nett -Molk Governor of Chain and Siestan,
concluded that this route was impracticable.
He then struck across the desert, forded the
Harud River, and reached Farrar about mid
way between Herat and Candahar, or ten days
journey from Quetta. Here the Afghans arrest
ed him and brought him back TO Herat, and
finally back over the Persian frontier TO Kariez,
from whence he returned TO Meshed. He was
under arrest nineteen days, but was well treat
ed. The Afghans, by accident, slightly dam
aged the bicycle, but not sufficiently TO render
it unreliable. He will now wheel back to Astra-
bad and proceed TO India. via Constsntinople

point possible TO that at which he turned back

The expulsion of the French princes
10y the republic has caused much uneasiness
in Paris. A cable dispatch from that city
saws:
It is feared that serious trouble may result
from the bitter feeling tngendered The better
class Of people severely condemn the issue OF
the decree against the heads of the old mon
archical and imperial families. They regard
lIllS Sltp rs an evidence OF weakness on the
part of the Government, and dread the effect OF
its confession in this way on the uneasy spirits
who are always ready for revolution They hold,
too, tina she expulsion of the princes has given
undue prominence to them and their political
position will tend 70 unite the monarchical and
imperial interests in n common hostility 20 the
republic, and has ever aroused keen sympathy
with tire princes among great number OF
Frenchmen who would otherwise have remained
in seclusion. The widespread influence Of this
measure is already seen in the Immediate
disturbance which it has made in diplomatic
circles, and in the stand which il has obliged
some of the most able statesmen and former
friends of the Government to take on
the side of the princes. In addition to the
designations which have already been offered TO
the Government, many more are expected. and
the men OF culture and social position display
nm inclination, ms n rule, TO withdraw from all
participation in the affairs OF the nation ms at
present conducted. This il likely to be seri-
Gus blow TO the republic, particularly in it's
intercourse with other countries. This dis
position is manifested not only by the
representatives of France az foreign courts in

james, by the best class OF those who hold
Offices In France. I'M. Gornet, a member OF the
Council Of state, and Colonel Belleval the COM
