PARIS, June 24.-The government at
three O'Clock yesterday afternoon issued
decree expelling the French princes
from the country.
When the Count of Paris received the
result of the division on the Expulsion
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 dc 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 t0-Gay will embark
at TrepOrt this aftcrnov arriving at
! Tunbridgc Wells, EugEatd, on Friday,
/ and will take up their residence there.
| The Count will issue a 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 large cOncOurse OF people had
assembled. No demonstration, however,
was attempted. Whence the Prince took
his departure the station was closed to
| the public, but dense crowd, estimated
at {, 900, gathered outside. There were
counter-cries of "Vive rEmpereur' and
and give la Repubique." NJ. Ornano,
a Royalst, tried TO rally party in order
to make demonstration, but the police
hustled the crowd roughly.
Police Secretary L0ze 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 rEmpereur,n "Au
Revoir" and shouts of "Vive la Repub-
lique." There was some kissing. Sew
eral persons were arrested.
At a reception before starting for Brus-
sells, Prince Victor said: ''Do not eX-
pect vain protest from me. \ people
sometimes takes it upon itself to open its
doors to an exile. | remain a represent
atiyc Of the empire as the Napoleons 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 fultillment 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 NJ. Waddington,
French ambassador to the Court of st.
James, will resign in consequence of the
expulsion of the princes. His resigna-
ton is momentarily expected.
NJ. Hendle, Project of the Seine In
ferieure, bluntly declined to notify the
Comte de Paris of his expulsion.

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-
tunist journals urge the government to
discard the demands of the irreconcila-
bles and Radicals, and then demand a
frmer Republican policy.
La Pat,ie, newspaper, notes the coinci-
1pnna IF the nypIrlSjoD with the anniVpr-
sary of Napoleon's great victory at Sol
ferino, and thinks it of good augury.
M. Rochefort, in the Intransagednt,
taunts the Senate misunderstanding. He
enough, in any wa the government
chooses.
BRUSSELS, June l-pr'nce Victor
Napoleon, while the clocks were striking
midnight, arrived herel by the train from
Paris, accompanied BY the Marquis de
La Valette, Henri de Chevreau, Deputy
Jolibois, the Due de P.dua, the Comte de
Fleury and M. Jul = Boittelle. A by
stander said to MT, 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 GOODNESS. 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 Bots de la Cambre is ready.
