The Comte dc Paris, the head Of the hous,
of King Henry Of Navarro, will reach III,
city this afternoon at O'Clock on TN,
steamer Ariel.
The Count and party LETT Washington yes
| to-day afternoon no 3 O'Clock on the steamer
| George leary. They remained on this
steamer until they reached ola Point this
morning about q O'Clock. Here they were
transferred TO the ARIEL. The party only re-
NAMED at cd Point short while. and
merely viewed the scene Of conflict there.
Colonel Archer Anderson aud Captain
Philip HaXall will meet the Count al the
@harf at the request Of eN-GoyernOr Ice,
aud escort him u L. hotel. While in New
York the Count wrote q. Governor Lee ask
ing him TO meet hm andlis party here and
escort them around The city. General But
teIheld also wrote 10 Governor Lee. From
the letter the Count was evidently Ignorant
II the many changes that has taken place
around Richmond since the war. lie was
under the impression that some OF the piaccs
% be visited could BE- reached by roads
which have long slaoe become impossible.
TRIP BY WATER.
lie also suggested that the trip to Appo-
mattoX Courthouse be- made by water. and
that Friday night be spent ON the steamer.
Ihi, is impossible. since this place is not
by any means n0yigable.
In the letter the Count EXPRESSED himself
rs being very anxious TO have General Lee
accompany him 10 these places, and stated
that he had tte highest respect for General
K. l.. Lees military record as well as that
Of his nephew, meaning Ex-Governor Lee.
lie said Dc looked upon the visit 10 Cold
liarbOr with ex-governor Lee as one OF the
most pleasant anticipatOns OF his whole
trip. When the Count wrote the letter he
was under the impression that all Ct the
places Of interest aIOlnd Richmond could
be visited before returning to the city.
PLAN OF THE TRIP.
His guides, however, have ARRANGED a
different plan which they wall submit 10 the
distinguished visitor when no arrives. This
will be 10 visit seven Pines and the bate
fields on that SIDE Of the city tomorrow.
and return to the city that nlght. Saturday
morning TO start out again and visit the
battle-telds on the other side Of the city. re-
turning TO the city Saturday evening, when
the Count will leave.
The coming Of the Count 10 the city
seems to be purely business trip, in order
10 see these various battle-gFOuuds stO be
write bis book on the Confederate war.
Consequently 1t is Eot a visit to the present
capital Of Virginia, but the once capital Of
thu Confederacy. and because around her
was the scene Of many battles.
REMAIN A LITTLE WHILE.
This is the reason why the visitor has
made no preparation 10 remain long enough
in the city 10 see the people OF Richmond.

COUNT AND BOULANGIsM.
In the issue Of Figaro Of September 9th
last, appears the following extract from "A
letter by PHI. de Grandeur in connection
with the Count OF Paris:
m. lie Compte dc Paris, speaking Of his
tour, declares that he regrets nothing Of the
policy which he has followed; that no is
convinced OF having involved in temporary
difficulty the interests OF the Monarchical
cause, and OF having served it by the best
means at his disposition.
nor TWO years seeing the Monarchist
engaged more and in Boulangism, without
any OF his representatives. making any
ayowal OF IL, and even denying with per-
sistence all participation In the adventure,
we demanded the cessation Of equivocati0n.

VI. lie Comte de Paris assumes openly the
responsibility Of his policy imposed on tie
monarchloal party, and those who have
been the instruments in IL declare, in CON-

his orders.
