LEY CABLE TO TEE DISPATCH. J.;

LONDON, February 22.-[ Copyright. i
Rumors have been current in Paris that the
Duke of Orleans had been secretly con-
Quoted to the frontier, but THE DISPATCH
correspondent there telegraphed at noon
that the Prince was still in the Conciergerie
prison. It was freely asserted, however,
that at the Cabinet council held in the fore
noon, it was decided to set the youngster at
liberty.
The decision shows good deal of mag
nanimity considering that the monarchists
have all week been trying their best to
make it difficult for President Carnot to
pardon the pretender. Their newspapers
throughout the country continue to publish
daily fulsome addresses to LIE Petit Con-
script, as he has been dubbed.
HIS PICTURE IN DEMAND.
The Orleanist newspaper Soleil boasts
that it has sold nearly 100000 copies of a
supplement containing the Princes por-
trait and his speech before the tribune.
Songs are dedicated to him and sung In
public, and there is talk of a monster
national protest against his imprisonment
Boulanger pretends to know nothing of the
Prince, and to treat his adventure with con-
tempt, but the French Government more
than suspect the exile OF Jersey of insin-
cerity.
Labouchere went over to take look at
the trial of the young Duke, and his views
as to the personality of the pretender differ
from those expressed in monarchial news
papers. He says: GAS a pretender pre-
fer Boulangerto the young Duke. Boulanger
is bon diable and more or less manly, per-
haps less rather than more. The hope of
the house of France is a cross between a
petit creve and a smart young officer of a
crack regiment without any idea beyond
those subjects which are discussed at mess.
NOT A HERO YET.
He is tall, of fresh complexion, has neat
features, and could not fail as an ensign in
troop colors to steal away the hearts of
nursery maids and romantic young ladies if
they were not physiognomists enough to
see that the eyes are harsh, unpleasant and
dull, and that, although he has lost the
pudding contour which made him an ugly
boy, the domination of stomach over mind
is still shown In his cheeks. Light brown
hair of dull shade is parted, masher-like, in
the middle, and is slightly curled. AS to
dress, it was roachable-carefully care
less.
IT could trace resemblance in the cut of
his features to the late Due d'Orleans, but
the countenance was not his and betrayed a
mind on a very small pattern. A good deal
| of vanity and temper more irascible than
sunny, and his eyes, to which venture to
recur, being small, triangular and wanting
in fine expression and too close set, gave a
mean character to the face"
OF A DIFFERENT TYPE.
OF the Dukes near friend, De Luynes,
Labouchere says: "This nobleman is saved
by a clear, fair skin and good-natured laugh
from being the exact image of our Oar
winian forefathersa never saw clearer
case of reversion to far back ancestral type.
This Dukes mouth reaches from ear to ear
and his loose lips refuse on any account to
cover up the neither teeth and gums. The
forehead slopes back from the brows at
angle of 35idegrees The Republicans have
no reason to lear the ducal party. The Due
d'Doudeauville, though now fairly we'll
stricken in years and corpulent, continues
to dress as a masher and wears his grizzly
hair parted in the middle. and marks Of
the curling irons on the top part court at
tention."
A cable dispatch from Paris says: The
Cabinet, at a meeting this morning, con-
sidered the case of the Duke of Orleans,
recently convicted of violating the Expul-
sion act and sentenced to two years impris-
onment. 1t was decided to remit the SEN
tence imposed and conduct him to the from
tier to-day. The route by which the Duke
will be sent is kept profound secret
