THE DUKE OF ORLEANS.
Paris, Alay 19,
Tho Duke of Orleans, writing to the Duke d’Audrillot-Pasquior, Preshlcnt of tho Royalist Committee, says that although ho has no intention of coining forward as a candidate for the Senate he will be glad to receive the votes of the electors. Ho considers the time has come when it is necessary to choose between playing at monarchy and making it a reality. A vain distrust of universal suffrage will only encourage the belief that monarchic and elective rights are incompatible. He declines to censure Prince Henry of Orleans for bis acceptance of the decoration given to him by tho Republic in recognition of bis work as an explorer in the East. The Duke d’Audriffet-Pasquier is displeased at the tone of the letter, and
has resigned the Presidency of the Committee.
Tho younger section of the Royalist Committee is in sympathy with the Duke of Orleans.
