"The Orleanist family would mean peace.

Of late years Frenchmen have cared very little for military glory; their dream has been to save money.

One advantage of our disasters is that it has limited the number of pretenders to the Throne, for after the capitulation of Sedan, neither the army nor the peasants will support a Bonaparte.

There will be two parties--the ultra-Republicans, and the advocates of a Constitutional Monarchy under a Prince of the House of Orleans.

Unless the friends of the Orleans Princes commit some great fault, they are masters of the situation." I went down this morning to the Halles Centrales.
