The Orleans Princes have requested permission of the French President

to transfer the remains of Louis Philippe, Queen Amelie, the Duchesse d'Aumale, Prince de Conde, and five child- ren of the House to the family burial-place in Normandy. The bodies were accordingly removed from Weybridge on Thursday, and carried on board the 'Samphire' to Honfleur, whence they will be conveyed by railway without public demonstration t,o Dreux. The act is a natural one, as Louis Philippe is believed to have wished it, and the only noteworthy fact about it is that it should have been necessary to ask the consent of the President of the Republic.
