The correspondent of the Times, a bitter Orleanist, telegraphs a

noteworthy account of the entrance of the Princes into the House. They went from Paris by rail in the train generally used by the Representatives, but on arrival at the station all the other Deputies fell back respeotfully, and allowed the Princes to walk out first. When they reached the Assembly, great eagerness was manifested to see them, both by the Members and the public, but they took their seats without official recognition. The correspond- ent appears to consider the respect paid to the Princes a matter of high political importance, but he has not yet told us that good manners have entirely disappeared from France. English " Deputies" would lot the Duke of Cambridge walk first out of a station, and yet entertain no intention of making him a Premier. The Republicans appear to be very angry with M. Thiers for allowing the Princes to take their seats, but it seems probable that the President, though very undecided, believed that the Assembly would continue their exclusion, and was much disappointed at the result of M. Fresneau's strategy.
