EXCITEMENT ~ BOURBON CIRCLES.
PRINCE HENRY OF ORLEANS rAvoHTE-
, FRENCH LAW sUHs AND FASHIONABLE BALLS.


Considerable perturbation has prevailed here
f,r s0t!e days past IN inonarchical circles
and !ikewise 10 certain extent IN the
political world Several causes have contributed
- this condition The principal three are the In
vitation of Prince Henri d'Orleans by the Car
- the wedding Of the Grand-duchess Ncnia; the
sudden visit of Primo. Victor Bonaparte To 81
Petersburg. and the equally unexpected an
nouncement Of the bctrothal Of Don Carlos 10
Princesse Berthe d. R0han. with regard 70 the
Spanish Pr.trndor. II IS only litile more than
year ago that he lost his universally beloved ana
respected consori who was a niece and one ot
the principal hciresscs Of the late Comte and
Comtessc &c Chambord. Don Carlos shamefully
neglected her during her lifetime. which did
not prevent him. however from loudly newa-
ing her death with manifestations Of grief too
theatrical and demonstrative to be sincere. His
impending marriage to the Prncesse de- Rohan
IS regarded by the members Of the Faubours ST.
German as an act Of dsrespect To the late
Duchess Of Madrid, and. moreover. as equiva-
lent 10 a remuneration in favor Of his SON. Don
Jaime. Of his pretensions to the crown Of Spain
and 10 his chieftainship Of the royal house of
Bourbon. For Notwithstanding the illustrous
lineage Of the house Of Rohan. which counts
among its ancestors Godcfroi de- Bouillon the
light Of distinct mesalliance: and neither the
proud Spanish nobility nor the Legitimist aris
tocracy here will consent to accord 10 a Princesse
de- Rohan the homage which they We're glad To
offer To the late Duchess of Madrid. Moreover, ii
is not forgotten that 1t the intrigues Of
Rohan which contributed SO greatly to the mis-
fortunes Of Queen Marie AntOinctte. and 10 the
overthrow Of the Bourbon dynasty in France IN
1875 The Princcsse De Rohan is a sister Of the
present chief of the family. which has its head
quarters in Austria. There Is a French family
Of Rohan the chief Of which is the Due de
Rohan member Of the Chamber Of Deputies.
but it merely represents a Junior branch Of the
house through the female line which became
merged into the noble family Of Chabot In the
early part If the century. All the French bearers
Of the name of Rohan. therefore. should by rights
add the name Of Chabot. which Is really the only
one t. which they are entitled.
As for the invitation Of Prince Henry Of Or
leans /, the wedding Of the Grand-duchess
Xenia it has aroused much comment. owing to
the failure Of the car 10 bestow any similar
mark Of attention upon the Duke Of Orleans. The
latter. when last in St Petersburg. was not only
denied an audience by the Emperor. but was even
requested ore evening t. leave the opera. whore
q performance was being given at which their
Majestics were present. having incurred the dis
pleasure ~ the car by vcnturing To- applaud In
a too effusye manner the pr.ma donna without
waiting for the monarch 90 give The signal for The
