2 MARCH 1872, Page 1

The Comte de Chambord has been holding levees at Antwerp,

attended by great numbers of Frenchmen, and has been interviewed by correspondents of the Times and Telegraph. He answered their questions with some vagueness ; but the latter was astonished by his knowledge, and says he declared that the Bishops and clergy should not interfere in affairs of State. He expressed himself per- fectly ready to grant a constitution and abide by it, provided that he himself were accepted as rightful monarch. His receptions annoyed the exiles in Antwerp, who hooted under his windows, and were attacked by a " clerical " mob, which after a stout battle was compelled to retreat. The disturbances at length became so annoying that the Couuit received a hint to pit Ant- werp, and has betaken himself to Holland. It does not appear that anything was decided at the levees, or that the Count has given up his white flag, or that the Monarchists are in the least degree nearer to their ultimate end. The very members who visited" Henri Cinq" were afraid to register their names, and no Generals seem to have been included among the attendants in the antechamber.
