In proscribing me, vengeance is taken, in my person, on 3,500,000 voters who on October 4 con demned the faults of the republic, which which sought to intimidate those daily detaching themselves from the present regime. In me is persecuted the monar chical principle, transmitted as a trust by him who had so nobly preserved it. it is desired to separate from France the head of a glorious family which guided her course for nine centuries in the work of national unity, and which house, as sociated with the people ahk in good and evil fortune, founded her prosperity and grandeur. lias trance forgotten, the happy, peaceful reign of mv grandfather and the more recent time when my bro ther and uncles fought loyally undur her flag in the ranks of her valiant army These calculations will prove a fallacious light. France will not be misled as to either the cause or authors of the ills she suffers. She will recognize that a tradi tional monarchy, by its modern princi ples and institutions, can alone furnish a remedy, lhis national monarchy, which I am the representative, can alone reduce the importance of men of disorder, who threaten the repose of the country : can alone secure political and religious liberty, restore public fortune, give our democratic society a strong government, open to all, superior to parties, and with ability which will be in Europe a pledge of lasting peace. My duty is to labor without respite in this work of sal vation, and with the aid of God and the co-operation of all those who share my faith in the future, I will accomplish it. The republic is afraid. In striking me it marks me out. I have confidence in France, and at the decisive hour I will be ready." PARLIAMENT IHSSOLVED.

With this object it is my intention to dissolve parliament. "I continue to happily maintain the most friendly relations with foreign pow ers. I have the satisfaction to acquaint you with the fact that the warlike opera tions of Servia against Bulgaria nave been brought to a close, through the wise counsels of the powers and the forbear ance of the sultan ; and also, after a pe riod of anxiety, of the adoption of pacific counsels by Greece.

BEKCHER AND GLADSTONE. New York, June 28. A Liverpool ca blegram says : Beecher told the co mittee who came to him to help the cause of Gladstone: "I have come to England mainly for rest and recreation, and with no purpose of taking part in the rMitical controversy. At the same time do not hesitate to say that I am with Gladstone first, last, and all the time. If I were a citizen of this kingdom I would go into this conflict with all my heart and soul ; bat I am restrained from it by con siderations of delicacy. My heart goes with Gladstone and the general princi ples which he advocates. His direction is right, and it seems to me every good and hopeful man should join to promote the success of the effort which is now so largely centered in his bands." Beech er. however, accepted an invitation to seat on the platformTfiftd! despite his de- chnation to speak, the committee were hopeful that when the time came he would reconsider. As they left one of them remarked to his fellow-callers : "It will be, all right. When we once get Beecher on the platform it will be impos sible for him to resist the calls that will be made upon him by the audience. He will have such a reception as no other American has ever received." The Manifesto Placarded. London, June 28.

The time is not distant when I shall pay my debt to nature, and these possibly are the last words I shall speak in Liverpool." He Quoted from the Bal- I lad of Chevy Chase, "The child unborn shall rue the hunting of that day," and exclaimed : "If idle and shallow pretexts bewilder the mind of the people, or if the power of wealth and rank overbear national sense, the child unborn shall rue the voting of that day. I entreat yon to resolve that the civilized world shall no longer assert that Ireland is England's Poland, and to determine that England shall no longer have a Poland. She has had it long enough. Listen to prudence courage, and honor; ring out the old ring in the new ; ring out the notes of memory and discord, ring in the blessed reign of a time of peace." BEECHEB'S MEETING WITH GLADSTONE, Liverpool, June-29. Gladstone and Beecher met for the first time last night, Their mutual greeting was full of interest to the lew on-lookers. When they came forward together upon the platform at the Uladstone meeting, there was a dem onstration such as the United Kingdom has not witnessed in any recent political campaign. Gladstone made a masterly address lasting more than an hour and a half. There were then renewed and lusty cries of "Beecher, Beecher, speech," but good taste forbade it, for that occa sion at least, and Beecher made his es cape after a struggle through the plat form throng that insisted on shaking hands with him. Liberal admirers of Gladstone asked Beecher what he thought of the premier's speech. "There is no thing to be said about it," he replied ; "silence is the most eloquent comment I can make upon it." "Jacob," said an Ohio farmer to his hired man, the other day, "I see that some of the railroads have adopted the 24 o'clock system, and I'm thinking of trying it on the farm." "That is, you want me to work twenty-four hours right along without a stop?" "Well, Jacob, that's the idea, but beina it's you, and, being o;s u; a purty willing hand, you might take out ton minite for each meal and make it up on Sundays." Wall street News. PACIFIC COAST.
