Paris, March 20.-(Special. )-The latest exploit of Philippe, Duke of Orleans, is to masquerade In the gray coat and cooked hat of Napoleon l, and the bou- 1svardiers of Paris are amusing them selves over the operation. The Duke does this bv means of manifesto issued from his English retreat at Wood Nortoh' which manifesto is in the form of let ter addressed to General Donop. It's pub fcation at this moment is attributed TOT the first time this evening by the boule- ward gossips to the fact that another armament of the House of Orleans has elevated himself to the rank of king, and that the little Tsar was received with royal honors by the real original Tsar Philippe thinks that as the repuo- lie, the French army or today is as good as ever. T am convinced" he says that it is my duty to march in the foot steps of the conqueror of Austerlitz' lena and Friedland." What will the Germans say to this outburst Of the warllke Phi ippe? Deprived of the supreme honor of fighting in the ranks of the french army" he continues, T, nevertheless look forward to the time when Provi- dence shall entrust to me the duty or n,tt,ng an end to the misfortunes of France. Assure, then, my fellow citi- zens, and especially the army, that hope to equal, if not excel, the deeds or those who made France great In the former days" This message to the French nation is published in the Cler- ical monarchial jingo "Gaulois."
