The chiefs of the French Monarchical patties have both issued
addresses to the electors. That of the Comte de Paris is a direct manifesto calling on his followers to vote for Revision, which he maintains ought to be welcomed by all Catholics, all Imperialists, all Conservative Republicans, and all who wish the raising up of France at home and abroad. Revision, he believes, will prepare the way for Monarchy, and Monarchy will protect religion, afford stability to institutions, and give " calmness in the exercise of liberty to our democratic institutions." The most important sentence in the manifesto is probably that which directs the Monarchists "not to treat as • enemies those who are fighting the same adversaries as your- selves the Boulangists. Prince Victor Napoleon does not issue a manifesto, but he has made a speech to an inter- viewer which had obviously been written out, and in which, after abusing the Chamber and declaring that Parliamentary Government is crumbling amid contempt, he also directs his friends to vote for Revision, which is to create a Con- stituent Assembly that will, first of all, take a direct plibiseite on the three forms of Government—" Republic, Royalty, Empire." It is said that M. Carnot will also issue a manifesto embodying the Republican ideas, but it will appear later.
