count of the flight of louis phillippe and bis family from paris and their escape to england tin suddenness and complete ness of the fall of a king from a position rendered apparently impregnable by nu : merous fortifications and the presence of a large army of regulars is under all the circumstances connected with if an event without a parallel and has elicited the annexed article from the leading english i journal : from the london times march 10 the french revolution it is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the safe arrival of tbe last and ! most illustrious instalment of the «• royal fugitives on these shores for a whole week the ex king of the french after playing for eighteen years the most con '' spieuous part on the most conspicuous stage of european affairs had totally dis : appeared from the scene his place could nowhere be found ; and shocking as all i would have felt it it was at least as pro \ bable a conjecture as any other that his j majesty had perished in the channel — j the express steamer brought them yes ' lerday morning to newhaven where they ! had to wait for some hours till the state of the tide should enable them to enter the j harbor at last they landed and were ! glad to receive a very hearty welcome to i the well-known shore for the rest we ! must refer to ihe particulars which we | have been enabled to supply and to which i the rank the misfortunes and it must be added the errors of the distinguished suf j ferer will impart so peculiar an interest ; it may be safely said there is nothing in history — nothing at least in the exam pies which most readily occur to the mind \ — that at all comes near the tremendous 1 suddenness of the present royal reverse j this day fortnight louis phillippe was j the most prosperous the most powerful ■and accounted the ablest sovereign in the j world if the reader will just think of if ! he will find that this wonderful man had j at i ai ned the very acme of success con j sideration and power it is a work of time to enumerate the many oireumstan j cesof his splendid condition his numer ; ous handsome and dutiful children ; the brilliant alliances — one of them recently i concluded — which brought into one fami ; ly interest the vast region irom antwerp ! to cadiz ; the near prospect of an event which would probably make bis grand \ cbibl the sovereign his son the regent of spain the great cross and drawback of his reign just removed — algeria pacified : after eighteen years war ; his immense private fortune ; his eleven or twelve pal ' aces unequalled for situation and magni ficence on all of which he had recently spent immense sums of money ; hissplen i did army of lour hundred thousand men in the highest discipline and equipment ; a minister of unequalled energy and gen ius who had found out at last the secret i ol france ; a metropolis fortified and arm ; ed to the teeth against all the world ; the favorable advances recently made by those powers who had previously looked down on the royal parvenu ; the well bal i anced state of his foreign relations and the firmly-grasped reins of the political car — all these gilts of fortune and more if we had time to go on with the list were heaped on one man in such prolusion as really to pall the imagination what crowned it all was that louis phillippe was allowed the entire credit of his suc cess it was all the work of his own hands he might stand like the ancient king on lhe walls and towers which he had drawn round his city and contem plate the peiivct work of beauty and pol icy which himself had made the bal ance of europe the causes of peoples and kings the issues of peace and of war were in his hands if there was an amari illiquid in this garden of roses and de lights twenty impregnable forts and a hundred thousand armed men were no in significant watch upon a lew disorderly subjects solon himself would hardly have ventured to preach upon his envi ous text — ante obit am nemo — to so safe a man what we have described was a sober and solid reality what we now come to reads like the proposterous incidents of a nursery tale a mob ol artizans boys and some women pours through the streets of paris they make lor the palace — eighty thousand infantry cavalry and ar tillery are dumfounded and stultified in a few minutes an elderly couple are seen bustling away from the hubbub ; they are thrust into a hack-cab and driven out of the way the mob rushes into the sen ate and proclaims a republican govern ment — which exists which is ruling the nation with great energy and judgment and is already communicating with the representatives of foreign powers but let us follow the princes we say it with out intending any disrespect and only as relating the simple truth of the affair — no family of irish trampers was ever so summarily bundled out of the way as was this illustrious group the queen we are told had run back to a bureau for some silver but it seems it was not e nough as the hat was sent round for the royal couple al st cloud and a small sum clubbed by the national guard at dreux they were left with a five franc piece between them flying " when none pursueth they get to louis phillippe's once celebrated chateau at eu which they are afraid to enter so there they disappear into space they were to be at eu and for a week — that is all that we knew of them meanwhile the rest had dropped in one by one they come like foreign birds dashed by a storm against a light house the duke de nemours and certain saxe coburgs come one day knowing nothing ofthe rest they part ed in the crowd a spanish infanta for whose hand all the world was competing only the year before last scrambled out another way through bye roads and back doors ; and — strange event — is likely give spain an english horn sovereign under victoria's kindly auspices no sooner ! however had the fugitives found a friend ! ly asylum than they ate obliged to seek i another roof other princes and princes ! ses turned up here and there a lady-in j waiting rejoins her mistress a cabinet j minister is found the children and gov j erness of another arrive the rencontres ■and reunions are strange enough a prince of the blood and an ex-prefect meet j in disguise and do not know one another j very late a youthful heir to the crown of france and who had been acknowledged j as reigning king by the deputies is dis j covered at a channel island with his mo i ther and brother the two children had been almost lost in the mob on leaving the chamber had been got somehow tol eu with their mother wearied and bear j ing muddy marks of rough travel thence by heavy bribing they had procured a , passage to lhe first british rock thus are they driven and scattered by the be ! sum of revolution they arrive penniless ; without a change of raiment dejected and bewildered telling one another their sto ries of many strange adventures having each come a different journey though starling from one point and almost at one > hour after many days suspense the king and queen are heard of on some private information on the coast of normandy where they had been on the run from house o house and content with humble hospitality the king we are told in strange disguises they still have asmall retinue these half dozen invaders with out eilher arms or baggage do not find it so easy to cross the channel stationing themselves at honfleur wilhin twenty , miles sail of havre ihey watch opportu nity and the weather which last delays their passage several days at length they get into a british steamer arrived at newhaven altera rough passage they encounter fresh delays as if to prove that england is not so easily surprised louis phillippe who was to bridge the british hellespont crosses it with foreign aid and lands in a pea jacket borrowed irom the english captain ; he finds himself at home ; the associations and the friends of i former exile greet him ; a generation passes like a dream ; and the aged mon arch finds himself the duke of orleans the banished son of old egalite again would that all could be forgotten ! but if what i.s said be true some recollections did occur of an accusing character the frequent exclamation " like charles x we are told betrayed the current of his thoughts '• we are verily guilty concern ing our brother therefore is this distress come upon us at the very moment the missing king appears at one port his lost minister is heard of at another guizot is ntnv in london his day for active life is over he is again the philosopher and historian ; and doubtless like the roman orator will forthwith occupy his political retirement wilh studies far more suited to his genius and more conducive fo his reputation than the government of states england's path is clear she is the re fuge of exiles and opens her shores to the unfortunate of every land or party she would at once preclude herself from offer ing ibis hospitality and leave europe without a refuge if she involved herself in the ruined causes and pretensions of her royal visiters she can only receive them as exiles not as pretenders it may be with some violence to feeling but it is nevertheless necessary to let it be clearly understood by those differences which the range of courtly etiquette that while the persons of lhe unfortunate are pitied and respected and their former rank remem bered ihey still possess no higher charac ter than what their own nation chooses to allow a paris correspondent of the new york courier — an american gentleman resi dent in that capital — furnishes the follow ing very interesting account of the visit of the duchess of orleans to the chambers of deputies with her two children when the abdication of louis phillippe in favor of the young count of paris was rejected on thursday feb 24 between one and two p m i entered the chamber of de pnties upon reaching the vestibule find ing only some 12 or 13 gentlemen there walking up and down and that the ses sion had not yet opened j lounged about there instead of mounting toth diploma tic tribune after i had been there a few minutes one of the ushers entered from without in haste saying that madame la duchesse d'orleans and moris le comte de paris were coming to the chamber and that the president must b instantly sent for to take his place and the great doors of the session soon opened all was then hurry on the part of the ushers and excitement on the part of the gentlemen in the vestibule in two or three minutes the duchess appeared leading the comte de paris and attended by the due de ne mours and two or three other gentlemen in lhe unilorm of generals with several members of the national guard she was also accompanied by one of her la dies of honor whose name i could not learn and also by her youngest son the due de chartres who was carried in the arms of a person whom i took to be his preceptor it may interest your ladies to know that the duchesse wore a black silk dress with three rows of flounces black silk hat and cape or long shawl her children were dressed in plain black suits with round caps of black cloth the duchess is near ly 35 years of age of medium stature and finely formed she has dark auburn hair a full forehead very regular features light eyes but not a very expressive coun tenance she had no color her cheeks were thin and she had rather a sickly look her manner was dignified and graceful and she and her children appear ed perfectly collected she bowed as she advanced and every body uncovering sa luted her with the most profound respect many ofthe persons and national guard present kissed the hand of the young comte de paris the young prince is nearly ten years old and is a very hand some and intelligent looking fellow he has light auburn hair cut short fine clear complexion broad and expanded forehead and full and expressive eyes the young due de chartres is only eight years of age and has a delicate appearance his hair is quite light he has no color and his countenance is not near as expressive a's his brother's he was carried most ofthe time for some moments after the party en tered there was some little contusion and discussion between the duchesse and the duke de nemours and one or two gentle men as to what was to be done at last it was concluded to enter the chamber by the side entrance on the right of the pre sident's pulpit the persons in the vesti bule then all passed in with the royal party i with others advanced to the cen tral area in front of the orator's tribune a sofa was hastily placed before the tri bune and the duchess with her children took seats upon it while the duke of nemours and other officers and the lady of honor stood behind it the lew mem bers of the national guard who had fol lowed the duchess in pressed back the gentlemen who had entered at tin same time from the area before the tribune and 1 retreated to the first step of one of the aisles between the central benches there were at first not more than about 150 members present and all remained stand ing and uncovered for some time al though it was only h o'clock some of tin public tribunes were filled after a few minutes order being obtained m dupin ascended the tribune and announced that the manifestations that had taken place had resulted in the abdication of the king in favor of the comte de paris with the regency of the duchess of orleans ac clamations here followed from all parts the orator went on to say that these ac clamations were not lhe first that had heen evinced on this occasion : — that the duchess had crossed the touilleries the place de la concorde and the bridge on foot with her children with no other es cort than a few members ofthe national guard ; and that every where on her pas sage the people had greeted her with live ly acclamations this announcement was received with what i deemed loud ap plause but when the noise had ceased an ominous voice sounded from one of the public tribunes solemnly and distinctly — " // est trejp tard — it is too late m dupin then proposed that the cham bershould confirm the acclamations which had just been made and order the in<*-r tion in the proceeding of the procloma lion of the comte de paris as king of the french with the regency of the duchess of orleans this was received with some applause from tbe centre but several members stepped down from their se immediately and with members of the national guard and other persons nearly filled the space in front of where the duciipss was sealed and all was tumult and disorder for some minutes several members and other persons tried to be heard and a gentleman whom i learned to be m marie present minister of pub lic works mounted lhe tribune in the meantime i stepped down and leaned on the rail in front ofthe minister's benches at last the president who was furiously ringing his bell ail this time obtained si lence and rose and declared that t!.e chamber had proclaimed the comte de paris king of the french with the re gency of his ugust mother a great tu mult then aro-p every body screamed bravo bravo bravo others no no no during which m de lamartine as cended the tribune and stood by the side of m marie he succeeded in a few min utes in getting silence when he proposed that the session hould be suspended until the departure of the royal family then billowed a scene of great contusion around the royal party some crvin this way others that way p but at last two persons took the young princess in their arms and advanced wilh the duchess and the duke de nemours up the central passage divi ding the benches ofthe members i stood near the lower entrance of this passage and when i saw ihey were coming to wards me 1 stepped up slowly preceding the duchess and the children only two or three steps i was determined to remain as near as possible to the duchess the intention of the party was to go out by the great doors at the top of the passage but exit that way being found impossible on account of the great number of per sons mostly members and national guard who filled up the entrance the duchess was compelled to sit down on one of the back benches at lir-t she was directing herself towards the right side but a gen tleman spoke to the duke de nemours and said ' better take the left — the left being tlie seats of the opposition and she finally got placed on the left centre back bench with her two children the count de paris on her right the duke de char tres on her left and the duke de nemours on the right of the count de paris next to him was placed a national guard and i stood leaning behind the duke de ne mours in the narrow passage which runs round behind the last range of the bench es on the bench in front of the princes two or three national guards placed themselves during all this lime much disorder existed in the chamber but at last silence was obtained m marie suc ceeded in making himself heard he spoke of the proclamation of the duchess of orleans as it<-genr as incom patible with the existing law in favor of the due de nemours and concluded by demanding with great earnestness that a provisional government should be insti tuted alter him came cremieux pre sent minister of justice he commenced by saying that it was impossible that the whole population should agree immedi ately in ihe proclamation of the comte de paris as king and the duchess of or leans as regent and it therefore was ne cessary to act with deliberation and reg ularity he professed the mo-t profound respect for the duchess of orjeans and much feeling for the misfortune of tbe king and royal family whom hesaid.be had just accompanied to the carriages which had transported them from the city he concluded by calling upon the assem bly in the most energetic terms and man ner to firmly and resolutely insist upon the immediate establishment of a provi sional government as 1 said before the french can never mi-s an opportunity of a jest when cremieox said lhat he bad just accompanied the king and the royal family to their carriages a voice from one of the public tribunes cried out ' hon voy age v — a pleasant journey to litem — this created a great laugh during the speeches of marie and cremieux i felt my interest constantly increasing for t duchess whose situation was becoming every instant mop painful and whose prospects were every instant becoming more feeble she appeared however perfectly calm and collected the due tie nemours too showed no agitation and sat quietly listening to the speakers al ter cremieux finished immense and long continued applause succeeded and 1 was satisfied that it was all over for the duch ess when he bad descended the tribune he advanced up ie central ai^'c and sat down by the side of the duchess where he remained during ti,e speech of barrot fre quently exchanging words with the duc'u ess cremieux is a man of about fifty years large head black curly hair black eyes and dark complexion he is short and when he stands in the tribune his head and shoulders are only seen — he poke with much vehemence and ges ticulation after cremieux ojillon b tr rot — the hitherto powerful leader of the opposition — ascended the tribune if had been called for repeatedly before but he only entered with lafayette and sev eral others whilecremieux was speaking in an address of much eloquence be call ed upon the people to show their patriot ism and reason and to use their strength to preserve un to spare the coun try from the horrors of civil war — he called upon his ct intry in t r - name of political 1 the name cf the union public order and harmony to rally aroun ! the double representative of the revolu tion of jnly in lhe persons of the mother and child on whose head the crown of july was now reposing as to himself he said be had consecrated all his facul ties and his whole existence to secure ihe triumph ofthe beautiful cause of the rev olution of july and of the true liberty which he expressed his conviction would be gained under the regency of the duch : ess of orleans enlightened by a liberal j ministry he concluded by saying that : he could not take the responsibility of ad ! vocating any other course his speech produced no effect and was frequently in terrupted by cries of impatience after he had finished several members tried to be heard but the greatest conlusion and clamor prevailed lor some minutes at last m larochejacquelin gained the tri bune but he had scarcely commenced speaking when a great multitude of men in frocks armed with guns and swords and national guards and other citizens several of whom carried flags burst open the doors on the left of the president and tilled the area in front ofthe tribune and the ministerial benches they also press ed upon the president's platform and ora tor's tribune 1 remarked at the head of this motly rabble a polytechnic student an 1 an old man with a long snowv beard each having the tricolon 1 ling the tu mult and uproar that followed the en trance of th is multitude it is impossible to give any idea of i then began to en tertain fears for the safety of the duchess and the princes every one around her national guards and others placed their hands upon their hearts and declared they would protect her at the peril of iheir lives showing tlie greatest devotion for her and the young princes neither she nor they however showed any particular agil it ion or fear the children appeared bewildered by the uproar but not light ened 1 took the hand of the comte de paris several times and patted him on the head as i would do to any child to cheer him 1 al>o took the hand of the duch essand cried to her courage ! madam courage !"

nu : merous fortifications and the presence of a large army of regulars is under all the circumstances connected with if an event without a parallel and has elicited the annexed article from the leading english i journal : from the london times march 10 the french revolution it is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the safe arrival of tbe last and ! most illustrious instalment of the «• royal fugitives on these shores for a whole week the ex king of the french after playing for eighteen years the most con '' spieuous part on the most conspicuous stage of european affairs had totally dis : appeared from the scene his place could nowhere be found ; and shocking as all i would have felt it it was at least as pro \ bable a conjecture as any other that his j majesty had perished in the channel — j the express steamer brought them yes ' lerday morning to newhaven where they ! had to wait for some hours till the state of the tide should enable them to enter the j harbor at last they landed and were ! glad to receive a very hearty welcome to i the well-known shore for the rest we ! must refer to ihe particulars which we | have been enabled to supply and to which i the rank the misfortunes and it must be added the errors of the distinguished suf j ferer will impart so peculiar an interest ; it may be safely said there is nothing in history — nothing at least in the exam pies which most readily occur to the mind \ — that at all comes near the tremendous 1 suddenness of the present royal reverse j this day fortnight louis phillippe was j the most prosperous the most powerful ■and accounted the ablest sovereign in the j world if the reader will just think of if ! he will find that this wonderful man had j at i ai ned the very acme of success con j sideration and power it is a work of time to enumerate the many oireumstan j cesof his splendid condition his numer ; ous handsome and dutiful children ; the brilliant alliances — one of them recently i concluded — which brought into one fami ; ly interest the vast region irom antwerp ! to cadiz ; the near prospect of an event which would probably make bis grand \ cbibl the sovereign his son the regent of spain the great cross and drawback of his reign just removed — algeria pacified : after eighteen years war ; his immense private fortune ; his eleven or twelve pal ' aces unequalled for situation and magni ficence on all of which he had recently spent immense sums of money ; hissplen i did army of lour hundred thousand men in the highest discipline and equipment ; a minister of unequalled energy and gen ius who had found out at last the secret i ol france ; a metropolis fortified and arm ; ed to the teeth against all the world ; the favorable advances recently made by those powers who had previously looked down on the royal parvenu ; the well bal i anced state of his foreign relations and the firmly-grasped reins of the political car — all these gilts of fortune and more if we had time to go on with the list were heaped on one man in such prolusion as really to pall the imagination what crowned it all was that louis phillippe was allowed the entire credit of his suc cess it was all the work of his own hands he might stand like the ancient king on lhe walls and towers which he had drawn round his city and contem plate the peiivct work of beauty and pol icy which himself had made the bal ance of europe the causes of peoples and kings the issues of peace and of war were in his hands if there was an amari illiquid in this garden of roses and de lights twenty impregnable forts and a hundred thousand armed men were no in significant watch upon a lew disorderly subjects solon himself would hardly have ventured to preach upon his envi ous text — ante obit am nemo — to so safe a man what we have described was a sober and solid reality what we now come to reads like the proposterous incidents of a nursery tale a mob ol artizans boys and some women pours through the streets of paris they make lor the palace — eighty thousand infantry cavalry and ar tillery are dumfounded and stultified in a few minutes an elderly couple are seen bustling away from the hubbub ; they are thrust into a hack-cab and driven out of the way the mob rushes into the sen ate and proclaims a republican govern ment — which exists which is ruling the nation with great energy and judgment and is already communicating with the representatives of foreign powers but let us follow the princes we say it with out intending any disrespect and only as relating the simple truth of the affair — no family of irish trampers was ever so summarily bundled out of the way as was this illustrious group the queen we are told had run back to a bureau for some silver but it seems it was not e nough as the hat was sent round for the royal couple al st cloud and a small sum clubbed by the national guard at dreux they were left with a five franc piece between them flying " when none pursueth they get to louis phillippe's once celebrated chateau at eu which they are afraid to enter so there they disappear into space they were to be at eu and for a week — that is all that we knew of them meanwhile the rest had dropped in one by one they come like foreign birds dashed by a storm against a light house the duke de nemours and certain saxe coburgs come one day knowing nothing ofthe rest they part ed in the crowd a spanish infanta for whose hand all the world was competing only the year before last scrambled out another way through bye roads and back doors ; and — strange event — is likely give spain an english horn sovereign under victoria's kindly auspices no sooner ! however had the fugitives found a friend ! ly asylum than they ate obliged to seek i another roof other princes and princes ! ses turned up here and there a lady-in j waiting rejoins her mistress a cabinet j minister is found the children and gov j erness of another arrive the rencontres ■and reunions are strange enough a prince of the blood and an ex-prefect meet j in disguise and do not know one another j very late a youthful heir to the crown of france and who had been acknowledged j as reigning king by the deputies is dis j covered at a channel island with his mo i ther and brother the two children had been almost lost in the mob on leaving the chamber had been got somehow tol eu with their mother wearied and bear j ing muddy marks of rough travel thence by heavy bribing they had procured a , passage to lhe first british rock thus are they driven and scattered by the be ! sum of revolution they arrive penniless ; without a change of raiment dejected and bewildered telling one another their sto ries of many strange adventures having each come a different journey though starling from one point and almost at one > hour after many days suspense the king and queen are heard of on some private information on the coast of normandy where they had been on the run from house o house and content with humble hospitality the king we are told in strange disguises they still have asmall retinue these half dozen invaders with out eilher arms or baggage do not find it so easy to cross the channel stationing themselves at honfleur wilhin twenty , miles sail of havre ihey watch opportu nity and the weather which last delays their passage several days at length they get into a british steamer arrived at newhaven altera rough passage they encounter fresh delays as if to prove that england is not so easily surprised louis phillippe who was to bridge the british hellespont crosses it with foreign aid and lands in a pea jacket borrowed irom the english captain ; he finds himself at home ; the associations and the friends of i former exile greet him ; a generation passes like a dream ; and the aged mon arch finds himself the duke of orleans the banished son of old egalite again would that all could be forgotten ! but if what i.s said be true some recollections did occur of an accusing character the frequent exclamation " like charles x we are told betrayed the current of his thoughts '• we are verily guilty concern ing our brother therefore is this distress come upon us at the very moment the missing king appears at one port his lost minister is heard of at another guizot is ntnv in london his day for active life is over he is again the philosopher and historian ; and doubtless like the roman orator will forthwith occupy his political retirement wilh studies far more suited to his genius and more conducive fo his reputation than the government of states england's path is clear she is the re fuge of exiles and opens her shores to the unfortunate of every land or party she would at once preclude herself from offer ing ibis hospitality and leave europe without a refuge if she involved herself in the ruined causes and pretensions of her royal visiters she can only receive them as exiles not as pretenders it may be with some violence to feeling but it is nevertheless necessary to let it be clearly understood by those differences which the range of courtly etiquette that while the persons of lhe unfortunate are pitied and respected and their former rank remem bered ihey still possess no higher charac ter than what their own nation chooses to allow a paris correspondent of the new york courier — an american gentleman resi dent in that capital — furnishes the follow ing very interesting account of the visit of the duchess of orleans to the chambers of deputies with her two children when the abdication of louis phillippe in favor of the young count of paris was rejected on thursday feb 24 between one and two p m i entered the chamber of de pnties upon reaching the vestibule find ing only some 12 or 13 gentlemen there walking up and down and that the ses sion had not yet opened j lounged about there instead of mounting toth diploma tic tribune after i had been there a few minutes one of the ushers entered from without in haste saying that madame la duchesse d'orleans and moris le comte de paris were coming to the chamber and that the president must b instantly sent for to take his place and the great doors of the session soon opened all was then hurry on the part of the ushers and excitement on the part of the gentlemen in the vestibule in two or three minutes the duchess appeared leading the comte de paris and attended by the due de ne mours and two or three other gentlemen in lhe unilorm of generals with several members of the national guard she was also accompanied by one of her la dies of honor whose name i could not learn and also by her youngest son the due de chartres who was carried in the arms of a person whom i took to be his preceptor it may interest your ladies to know that the duchesse wore a black silk dress with three rows of flounces black silk hat and cape or long shawl her children were dressed in plain black suits with round caps of black cloth the duchess is near ly 35 years of age of medium stature and finely formed she has dark auburn hair a full forehead very regular features light eyes but not a very expressive coun tenance she had no color her cheeks were thin and she had rather a sickly look her manner was dignified and graceful and she and her children appear ed perfectly collected she bowed as she advanced and every body uncovering sa luted her with the most profound respect many ofthe persons and national guard present kissed the hand of the young comte de paris the young prince is nearly ten years old and is a very hand some and intelligent looking fellow he has light auburn hair cut short fine clear complexion broad and expanded forehead and full and expressive eyes the young due de chartres is only eight years of age and has a delicate appearance his hair is quite light he has no color and his countenance is not near as expressive a's his brother's he was carried most ofthe time for some moments after the party en tered there was some little contusion and discussion between the duchesse and the duke de nemours and one or two gentle men as to what was to be done at last it was concluded to enter the chamber by the side entrance on the right of the pre sident's pulpit the persons in the vesti bule then all passed in with the royal party i with others advanced to the cen tral area in front of the orator's tribune a sofa was hastily placed before the tri bune and the duchess with her children took seats upon it while the duke of nemours and other officers and the lady of honor stood behind it the lew mem bers of the national guard who had fol lowed the duchess in pressed back the gentlemen who had entered at tin same time from the area before the tribune and 1 retreated to the first step of one of the aisles between the central benches there were at first not more than about 150 members present and all remained stand ing and uncovered for some time al though it was only h o'clock some of tin public tribunes were filled after a few minutes order being obtained m dupin ascended the tribune and announced that the manifestations that had taken place had resulted in the abdication of the king in favor of the comte de paris with the regency of the duchess of orleans ac clamations here followed from all parts the orator went on to say that these ac clamations were not lhe first that had heen evinced on this occasion : — that the duchess had crossed the touilleries the place de la concorde and the bridge on foot with her children with no other es cort than a few members ofthe national guard ; and that every where on her pas sage the people had greeted her with live ly acclamations this announcement was received with what i deemed loud ap plause but when the noise had ceased an ominous voice sounded from one of the public tribunes solemnly and distinctly — " // est trejp tard — it is too late m dupin then proposed that the cham bershould confirm the acclamations which had just been made and order the in<*-r tion in the proceeding of the procloma lion of the comte de paris as king of the french with the regency of the duchess of orleans this was received with some applause from tbe centre but several members stepped down from their se immediately and with members of the national guard and other persons nearly filled the space in front of where the duciipss was sealed and all was tumult and disorder for some minutes several members and other persons tried to be heard and a gentleman whom i learned to be m marie present minister of pub lic works mounted lhe tribune in the meantime i stepped down and leaned on the rail in front ofthe minister's benches at last the president who was furiously ringing his bell ail this time obtained si lence and rose and declared that t!.e chamber had proclaimed the comte de paris king of the french with the re gency of his ugust mother a great tu mult then aro-p every body screamed bravo bravo bravo others no no no during which m de lamartine as cended the tribune and stood by the side of m marie he succeeded in a few min utes in getting silence when he proposed that the session hould be suspended until the departure of the royal family then billowed a scene of great contusion around the royal party some crvin this way others that way p but at last two persons took the young princess in their arms and advanced wilh the duchess and the duke de nemours up the central passage divi ding the benches ofthe members i stood near the lower entrance of this passage and when i saw ihey were coming to wards me 1 stepped up slowly preceding the duchess and the children only two or three steps i was determined to remain as near as possible to the duchess the intention of the party was to go out by the great doors at the top of the passage but exit that way being found impossible on account of the great number of per sons mostly members and national guard who filled up the entrance the duchess was compelled to sit down on one of the back benches at lir-t she was directing herself towards the right side but a gen tleman spoke to the duke de nemours and said ' better take the left — the left being tlie seats of the opposition and she finally got placed on the left centre back bench with her two children the count de paris on her right the duke de char tres on her left and the duke de nemours on the right of the count de paris next to him was placed a national guard and i stood leaning behind the duke de ne mours in the narrow passage which runs round behind the last range of the bench es on the bench in front of the princes two or three national guards placed themselves during all this lime much disorder existed in the chamber but at last silence was obtained m marie suc ceeded in making himself heard he spoke of the proclamation of the duchess of orleans as it<-genr as incom patible with the existing law in favor of the due de nemours and concluded by demanding with great earnestness that a provisional government should be insti tuted alter him came cremieux pre sent minister of justice he commenced by saying that it was impossible that the whole population should agree immedi ately in ihe proclamation of the comte de paris as king and the duchess of or leans as regent and it therefore was ne cessary to act with deliberation and reg ularity he professed the mo-t profound respect for the duchess of orjeans and much feeling for the misfortune of tbe king and royal family whom hesaid.be had just accompanied to the carriages which had transported them from the city he concluded by calling upon the assem bly in the most energetic terms and man ner to firmly and resolutely insist upon the immediate establishment of a provi sional government as 1 said before the french can never mi-s an opportunity of a jest when cremieox said lhat he bad just accompanied the king and the royal family to their carriages a voice from one of the public tribunes cried out ' hon voy age v — a pleasant journey to litem — this created a great laugh during the speeches of marie and cremieux i felt my interest constantly increasing for t duchess whose situation was becoming every instant mop painful and whose prospects were every instant becoming more feeble she appeared however perfectly calm and collected the due tie nemours too showed no agitation and sat quietly listening to the speakers al ter cremieux finished immense and long continued applause succeeded and 1 was satisfied that it was all over for the duch ess when he bad descended the tribune he advanced up ie central ai^'c and sat down by the side of the duchess where he remained during ti,e speech of barrot fre quently exchanging words with the duc'u ess cremieux is a man of about fifty years large head black curly hair black eyes and dark complexion he is short and when he stands in the tribune his head and shoulders are only seen — he poke with much vehemence and ges ticulation after cremieux ojillon b tr rot — the hitherto powerful leader of the opposition — ascended the tribune if had been called for repeatedly before but he only entered with lafayette and sev eral others whilecremieux was speaking in an address of much eloquence be call ed upon the people to show their patriot ism and reason and to use their strength to preserve un to spare the coun try from the horrors of civil war — he called upon his ct intry in t r - name of political 1 the name cf the union public order and harmony to rally aroun ! the double representative of the revolu tion of jnly in

beautiful cause of the rev olution of july and of the true liberty which he expressed his conviction would be gained under the regency of the duch : ess of orleans enlightened by a liberal j ministry he concluded by saying that : he could not take the responsibility of ad ! vocating any other course his speech produced no effect and was frequently in terrupted by cries of impatience after he had finished several members tried to be heard but the greatest conlusion and clamor prevailed lor some minutes at last m larochejacquelin gained the tri bune but he had scarcely commenced speaking when a great multitude of men in frocks armed with guns and swords and national guards and other citizens several of whom carried flags burst open the doors on the left of the president and tilled the area in front ofthe tribune and the ministerial benches they also press ed upon the president's platform and ora tor's tribune 1 remarked at the head of this motly rabble a polytechnic student an 1 an old man with a long snowv beard each having the tricolon 1 ling the tu mult and uproar that followed the en trance of th is multitude it is impossible to give any idea of i then began to en tertain fears for the safety of the duchess and the princes every one around her national guards and others placed their hands upon their hearts and declared they would protect her at the peril of iheir lives showing tlie greatest devotion for her and the young princes neither she nor they however showed any particular agil it ion or fear the children appeared bewildered by the uproar but not light ened 1 took the hand of the comte de paris several times and patted him on the head as i would do to any child to cheer him 1 al>o took the hand of the duch essand cried to her courage ! madam courage !"
