that it's real cause is the usua yearly subs'itnuoh

portions of the city, owing TO the panci'y Oh 'i''

increased prevalence of choleraic and typhoidai

good deal of talk, in Government, Republican ma
in cy.,lonarchicaI circles, about the withdrawal
of the decree Of expulsion against the Comte de
Paris. and about his return to France. under the

Duc dAumaIe. If the Comte dc Pnris listens

ing Republican vote recently cast throughout

and that tc therefore yields TO the popular will.
Such a manifesto as this would, of course. i'm
medatclv bc followed by the Withdrawal of tho
decree condcmning him 10 exile. Meanwhile, hi,
principal representative in France, the Comtc
d'IIaussonvillc. has already rendered his resigna-
ton. and nearly all the Royalist press agencies
and district committees have received notice that
no further subsidies will bc paid after the end
of June.
