MONARCHICAL MOVEMENTS.

Thb Monarchical Bight has issued a manifesto to the elector* signed by representatives of the various parties composing it, inoluding the Duo de la Rochefoucauld. Baron de Mackau, M. de Oassagnae, and M. de Man. They denounce the revolutionary policy which drove the Beligious Orders from their dwellings, the magistrates from their seats, Rsligion from the school and the hospital, the Princes from the army and the country. "In vain this expiring rigima rises in rebellion against universal suffrage, proscribes its chosen and brings them before exceptional tribunals, which regulate their justice by hatred and fear." The eyes of the country, it is nrged, have been opened by the Tonquin disaster ; by the deficit which for ten years has increased £24,000,000 a year ; by the £120,000,000 loans contracted in spite of the most formal promises ; by the soandalons traffi ; in places and decorations which brought about the fall of a President ; and by the system of espionage practised against citiaens is a method of government. The manifesto closes with the following appeal to the electors :— * "Whatever be your sympathies with the past, whatever be your predilections, whether ye be servants of the Monarchy or the Bmpire, or sincere Republicans, anxiouß to secure through the Republic aa honest and liberal government, all of you, good men and true, of whatsoever opinion, in the name of France and liberty, close op yoar ranks, form but one army, but one party — the party of France. Your victory is certain. You will r3turn to the next Parliament a majority of honest man, who will assume power consulting only the interests of the country, and will deliver the country from the Parliamentary feudality which has.brought upon it oppression , rain, and disgrace." Prince Victor Napoleon has sent the following letter to Baron de Mackau :— " Brusaels, June 23, 1889. My dear Baron,— l thank yon for seodiog me the Manifesto of the Bight The energetic protest of men of heart and sincere patriots, that loyal vindication of the rights of the country, could not, as you may well suppose, leave me indifferent. A deliberate upholder of the national sovereignty, respeot for which is an heirloom in my family, it is with patriotic joy that I find this great principle successively forcing itself upon all men of good faith, whatever be their opinions, their recollections, or their hopes. In point of fact, the free exercise of the popular rignt can alone constitute the party of France which will unite all Frenchmen in one common thought— the recuperation and grandeur of the country. — Believe ma, etc., Victor Napoleon." Don Carlos, for the first time appearing as serious claimant to the throne of France, aa well as to that of Spain, has written as follows to one of the Oomte de Chambord's trusted agents, Mr. Joseph Ouboorg, from the Leridan Palace at Venice :—": — " In no less a degree than myself you revere and love the memory of my uncle, the Comte de Ohambord, who extended to you unlimited confidence. I look to his example to guide me in the discharge of my grave duties in regard both to Spain and France. Seeing now the growing social disorder, I join with the healthy part of both nations to ask for God's help and to implore His mercy. The party of the Revolution is in this year 1889 celebrating the revolt of a hundred years ago against God's rights. We, who have the happiness of being faithful to our thousand-year-old traditions, answer to the Centenary in the con* Boling words that Chrißt used to the humble nun of Paray-le-Monial. I wish to unite with the French Catholics in rendering public homage to the Sacred Heart, even as I commemorated in Spain the thirteeth centenary of King Recardo's conversion. It is constantly made evident that God protects these two glorious nations. We can only heal their moral wounds by returning to Him. The religion of our fathers will bring us back to the path of private and public virtues. Some years ago my uncle charged you to take to Paray-le-Monial a written profession of bis faith and piety. Heir of his rights and sentiments, I wish you to represent me in the place where Our Lord made His voice heard to a King of France and to all faithful Catholics. 1 send yau herewith the document which you are to place in the Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart as a token of the reverence I and of the faith of the posterity of Louis XIV., in the protection of the God of Clovis, of Recardo, of Charlemagne, St. Louis, Joan of Arc, and Isabella the Catholic. May God bless you, dear Dubourg, according to the prayer of your affectionate Carlos." The following is the profession of faith, which is also an address to Spain and France :— " The Revolution overthrew the legitimate thrones of France and Spain that it might the more easily undermine the Catholic Church. It is the eternal boast of my family that it gave the first victim to the Revolution in the struggle against law and the Church. Son and heir of those princes who reigned gloriously over Spain and France, I adore God who made them both so great and can save them from Bocial disorganisation. The rights which I assert I derive from God only, and I call on Him to avert the disasters which threaten Spain and France. Strong in the ties which unite me to France and Spain, resolved at all risks to assert them, I implore God's pity and grace, and I repeat with all those who pray and hope, ' Sacred Heart of Jesus, save Spain ; Sacred Heart of Jesus, save France.' "

M, Dubonrg, on receiving this document, hastened to Paray-le-Monial, with General Ch&telineau and some other Legitimists, to present it at the shrine of the Sacred Heart, A Legitimist pilgrimage is announced. The pilgrims are to join in the profession of faith of their king. ___________
