THE LETTER or CONfrE De PARIS.
The letter Of the C0mte de Paris address
ed to his friend. Mr.. Bochcr has been re-
ceiyed with general disfayor. While the
Republicans were cNasperatcd by its tone,
the Orleanists doubt its wisdom, although
affecting TO approve its uttcrauces as those
of "a sagacious observer. La France says:
"The question still remains, what Will the
Royalsts do; There are men in the party
of the highest character and sound sense.
| Ifthe Comte de Paris deliberately chooses to
commit political suicide, it is diff
cult 20 believe that their allegiance
to the head of the home of Bourbon Will
lead them % ciiace themselves from politi-
cal existence 10 prove that they are still
faithful to the monarchial principle Of their
fathers. Ii is more probable hypothesis
that they will come over to the Republi-
cans, which, after all. offers all the consti-
tutional guarantees afforded by the
monarchy of Louis Philippe, and
which has man at its head
who compares very fayorably with
the citizen king, but whose existence and
policy the Comte de- Paris finds it convenient
10 ignore. Ii may Doe added that the Counts
recommendation 10 his friends to continue
to believe in the monarchy and to fight for
it j. not regarded As happily timed. \
party leader who tells his followers to en-
gage in combat should not issue such an
order on the eve of his departure on a yoy-
aye across the Atlantic
MORE QUIET AT TIPPERARY.
TRPERARY, Sept 2G-Things are quieter
to-day, although the military and police
still hold possession Of the streets outside
the courthouse and the main roads are con-
stautly patrolled. There is, however re-
markable change in the demeanor Of the
police, who now look c0wed and ashamed.
The events Of Yesterday now appear TO be
much worse than they were originally
reported. In addition to Mr.. Ilarring
ton. whose skull was cracked, as
already announced, Mr.. Patrick O'Brien has
received such severe injuries that he is un-
able tomoye alone The man Kelan, from
Cashel, is still in danger, and it is very pos
,ible he will die. Another tenant Of the
>mith-Barry estate, Thomas Meagher, is
badly hurt, and is confined to his bed. The
others who have been injured are progress
iug favorably. except boy. who is lying in
"a critical state.
The proceedings in the court to-day were
dull after yesterdays great excitement.
The only incident of note was Mr.. Healy's
angry protest against the defendants being
treated with every indignity. Mr.. Dillon
and O'Bricn were both absent at the begin
ming Of the proceedings. The speech Of Mr..
Roman, the solicitor for the Crown, occupied
the whole of the day. The courtroom was
not filled, and there was no crowd outside
except the military and the police. The
case is expected to last for several days.
The arrangements of Mr. O'Bricn and Mr..
Dillon are that they are TO sail on Thurs
day next for America, so the matter re-
solves itself into a race of time between the
two sides, or, as Mr.. O'Bnen says, "be-
tween the counsel for the Crown and our
ship"

submitted to him for investigation, so as T.
decide whether or not the liremen were in
fault.
THE FICKLENEss OF FORTUNE.
PARIS, Sept. pa story is going the
rounds here which is youched for as abso-
lutte fact, and which the gossips declare
serves not only 10 illustrate the glorious un-
certainty Of human greatness, but the fail
that follows at the heels Of pride. In the
salon Of the Duchesse dues there used to
be two busts which occupied very prOmi-
nent positions. They were placed side by
side and represented the two hopes Of the
ROyalst party Of France-llis Royal High
ness. the Due D'Orlcans, and the brave gen
eral. This arrangement, however, did not
please her son, the Due D'Uzes, who
went so far as 10 demonstrate with
his mother on the subject, and pointed out
TO her that on the question OF good taste
