Paris. January A.
At length the Royalist oracle has spoken. FOR
several days past--in fact ever since the LUZ
d'Orleans returned to England after concerning
with the leading members OF the monarchicai
party whom he had summoned to meet MIN at
Brussels-we have been warned to look LOT 'he
appearance Of some important political MANIFESTO
from the Duke In his first message to his coun-
trymen since he succeeded to the claims ana pre-
tensions Of his father, the Comte de Paris. Inc
few Royalists who have retained any enthusiasm
with regard to the cause expressed the CONVICTION
that the address would be OF character 10 ap-
peal to the hearts and to the patriotic sentiments
OF every Frenchman: that it would be aglow with
the fire. the vgor and the generosity Of youth; In
one word. that 1t would transform the monarchi-
cal flicker into a bright flame. Yesterday the
message made its appearance In the columns OF
lie Gaulois" which is the accredited organ OF
the Royast party That paper announces with
all the ceremony and solemnity BETTING the &C.
casion that prompted by motives Of patriotism
and by burning love for his native land. Mon
sieur le Due dOrleans has decided to have hence
forth all his clothes made by Paris tailors instead
ofin London" He declares that he Will not re-enter
France save "cut and dressed by French hands.
The public Is further Informed that arrangements

tailors Of Paris TO visit the Duke periodically in
England for the purpose OF taking his orders and

about this extraordinary announcement Is that

world here has hitherto been divided into two
/ camps namely those who considered 1t to be the
correct thing to patronze Partisan tailors, haber-
dashers and bootnaters. such for instance. the
! Prince de Sagan. the Due de Noailles and the
Marquis de GalliHet. and on the other hand those
who not only got all their clothes. shoes. hats and
| linen from the British metropolis. but were even
wont to send over their shirts each week to be

constituting the nucleus OF the party which looks
upon the Due dOrleans as Its savior 1t may be
readily understood therefore. what a consterna-
ton has been created among these latter by his
momentous decision, and while some OF them eu-

Comte de Chambord and for the recognition by
the latter OF the Comte de Paris the legitimate
heir to hir claims and pretensions to the throne
OF France. King Francis was a great favorite
OF the Comte de ChambGrd and much trusted by
him. His life had been singularly sad one.

The King and Queen thereupon took up their

at the Farnese Palace now leased by the French
Embassy. 1t there that their little girl was

Queen ever completely got over their loss; but
they buried ther sorrow In the very depths of
their hearts and there are now few who either

Queen was ever mother In 1870 when the
