LoXpoS, March 2l,-The French mon
archist assert that the cause to which
they are devoted is rapidly growing in
France, and that it Is n matter Of very
few months before the Republic will be
swept away and u King demanded by a
people weary of demagogues, alarmed
by continual and disturbing changes,
and disgusted by inccssant exposures Of
venality and general corruption OF the
public morals.
When reminded that the Third En-.
pire was not particularly noted for vir-
tue, morality or an honest administra-
ton OF the public finances, they reply
that it would be too much to expect from
u ruler extracted from the slums, sur
rounded byaswarm OF shameless harpies,
ruling through fear, and possessing only
the name Of his uncle, to render him en-
durable to the French people.
Though the change in the presidency
and the disturbances inevitably attend-
ing the formation OF new cabinets have
several times seriously alarmed the
friends Of the Republican regime, and
although the monarchists have the i'd
vantage OF being compact and ever alert
party, the loss Of the popular rallying
cry and loved and respected central
figure upon which to lavish their en-
thusiasm, render their chances Of success
ut present almost hopeless. Their pro-
gramme for the futureis obviously to de-
nounce the imbecility and want of pa.
triotism OF the administration, arouse
the belief Of the people in the prowess
OF the reiuvcnated army, and demand
war for the recovery Of Alsace aud Lor-

Whenthc Senator rose to speak he was
