The Philadelphia Press thinks that
the banishmcnt of the Bourbon and Ma

is simply confession to the world that
the French Republic is in the throes of
death. If the French people believe in
and wish a Republic, the pretenders
would be powerless to disturb the tran
guilty of the nation, and the fact that
their banishment seems to have become
q necessity, declares their power, pro-
claims the weakness Of the government
