culties of the republic. The activity
OF the Royalists has aroused the jeal-
ousy OF the I'm oerlalist leaders and at
secret conclave they drafted mani
festo addressed to the people of Flance
urging them to recall the house of
Bonaparte to the throne. Tnis mani
festo has not yet been issued, but
awaits the approval OF Prince Victor,
the present recognized head of the ex-
imperial family. Prince Victor is
now in Brussels and the Bonapartist
leaders in Paris have sent agents to
that city to induce him to sign the
manifefto and authorize it's publica-
ton. Prince Victor has been living
in comparative retirement recently
but has kept careful watch upon the
course of events and mis- friends ia
Paris claim that he will be found tully
equal to any crisis that may arise,
aud while prudent as to taking de
cisive step, will be- positive and
courageous in action, when once the
step Is taken. Imperlalists have been
canvassing earnestly for supporters
among the deputies but MT with
much SUCCESS.

every movement reported to RibOt
and President Carnot. Fne proce sd

were known to the governm 9ut al
most as soon as the con ,lave djourned
and the government is already in POS

Not so much Importance Is attached
by the authorities to the Bonapartist

of Paris to France, when hundreds
thronged to kiss her hand, and she
was received ut various places with
all royalty aud honor that could be
shown queen. This following could
possibly bear into a formidable dem.
onstration that would cost much of ,rt
to suppress and the royalist cause
would receive the sympathy of hund-
reds OF thousands of swinile1 Panama

The government therefore, while
keeping careful outlook on the B)n-

tensions and are dissatisfied with the
republic only because 1t d)es MT go
far enough to suit them
The Partisan mob is not for reaction
but tends in the oUhsr direction. b.
sides the connection of Pence VicGor
with the royal house in Italy and
therefore indirectly with the triple
alliance, is q serious Obstacle to his
popularity with Frsuchmsn. For all
those reasons the B ,napartist mani
festo, should it be issued, will cause
but little uneasiusss to the republic,
while the course of the MOnarchists,
who are known to possess the earnest
sympathy of every CROWDED head in
Europe is regarded with jealousy and
anxious vigilance. The government
is greatly gratified by the action of the
pope in refusing at this critical time
to become the tool of the Monarchists
and the friendly relations of church
and will undoubtedly be strengthen
ed should crisis result in triumph
for the government.

failure of the emisaries of the French
royalists to induce the Holy See to
