We publigh in another page of this morning's Issue an interesting interview between the Herap's correspondent at Cairo, Egypt, and tho Emperor of Brazil. His Majesty received ur correspondent with that marked un- affectedness and kindliness of disposition ” which form distinguishing traits of his charac- wer; is conversation was free and unre- Rerved, and on the subjects which were dis- sussed Dom Pedro showed an acquaintance which reflects credit on him, His visit across the sens is one as much of business as it is of pleasure, He complimented the energy of the _ Mbedive and expressed his admiration of the progress Egypt is making under the Viceroy, whom he regards as the wisest and most pro- gressive ruler the country has ever had. The reseut Inferests him far more than the past. @bor-saving machines and engineering triumphs find far more favor in his eyes than the works which the ancients have left after “Alem, It is by modern improvements that nations are to achieve greatness and the happiness of people be promoted. The ~Bimperor is alive to this, as is evidenced in the conversation we publish, as well as indi- pated by his investigations in tho different . Etropean coun‘ries through which he passed en route for the East, As to the treatment of women in the East Dom Pedro had an opinion to express. The Viceroy, who is alive to the necessily of reforma, has inaugurated a movement in Egypt by which the Egyptian females may be placed on a vastly different footing from that which they formerly occupied, Of course he expe- rienced much opposition from the old dyed- in-the-wool Pachas, who regard women ina different manner from that in which we estimate them. But their opposition falls lightly on Ismail Pacha. While admitting that the Ori- }entals in this respect progressed, Dom Pedro thought the Egyptian females were yet far behind his North American neighbors. The ladies, sald His Majesty, will eventually gain thelr point; ‘‘only give them time.” The female suffrage question, then, according to the Brazilian Emperor, must and will be set- * tled by the ladies themselves, The conversation naturally drified on American affairs. The Emperor, as he gays himself, is an American, and consequently the pubject possessed an interest to him which he readily acknowledged, ‘There are many Americans,” said be, “in Brazil, and with the establisiment of the proposed line of steamers to Rio Janeiro the number will be increased. New steamers will have to be built for this . line,” and His Majesty expressed the regret that the vessels for this enterprise will have ‘to be constructed abroad. ‘‘This is too bad,” said le, and when His Majesty expressed the oplaion that “‘your shipping interest is of more importance than the revenue gained by taxa- tion” he attered a troism which every thoughtful American can appreciate, It was @ novel experience ‘‘to meet a HERALD corre- spondent beneath the shadow of the Pyra- mids,” and tie experience pleased him to the same extent, no doubt, as when on the out- skirts of Rio Jaueiro, in his palace of San Christovao, he accorded a similar interview to enother Hexatp representative in May last, prior to his departure for Europe, i Personal Intelligence.

Citizen Claims of the Bourbons to Seats in the Assombly. Presidential Anxiety as to the Consequences, The Princes to Bide Their Time. EXPEDIENTS OF THE EXECUTIVE Popular Belief of the Approaching Fall of the Republic. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following speclal despatch to the Heratp has been received from our corre- spondent in the French capital :— Panis, Dec. 7, 1871, The situation of affairs just now existing in France is of @ very grave character and attracts the most earnest attention of the people. The Orleans Princes make a continuous effort for the advancement of their cause, and appear inclined to push matters to a crisis, THE PRINCES AT INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT, Tuesday last the Princes had an interview with President Thiers, during which they asked the advice of the statesman as to their course under present circumstances, assuring him that they bad come purposely to seek his counsel, particularly with regard to the matter of their assuming their seats in the legislative body, in accordance with the wish of the electors who voted for them. OITIZEN ROYALISM A MENACE TO THE REPUBLIO, The President requested the Princes to be seated, after which he commenced his reply to their application, He assured them that their presence in the Parliamentary Assembly would arouse many animositiess that the moment was inoppor- tune for thelr personal representative appear- ance; that the Bonapartist, the “Red” and Legitimist journals would certainly clamor over the occurrence, and that the very exist- ence of the republic would be menaced by the agitation which would inevitably ensue, TO BIDE THEIR TIME, The Princes answered that “they would not act withous further consideration of the entire subject.” ANXIETY OF THE EXECUTIVE. There was no misunderstanding between the royalist gentlemen and the chief of the republic, but it is known that M. Thiers evinced the most extreme anxiety to prevent them from taking their seats in the Assembly. The members of the government commis- sion which is charged to consider and report on the abrogation of the Law of Exile were called together, under an urgent summons of the Executive, the same night, Should they decide to abrogate the sentence of banishment which has been legislated against the Bour- bons the Orleans Prinocs will perhaps enter the French Chamber as representatives, A CONSTITUTIONAL EXPEDIENT. President Thiers regarding this—even the probability of such an incident—as a menace to the republic, will present to the Assembly a proposition for the enactment of a law defini- tive of republican government, A GREAT I83UE AT HAND. It is believed that during the trial of tho great issue which will thus be precipitated on the country the republic of France will fall, THE PIONEER OF PRINOBLY RESTORATION, The impression which generally prevails to-day is that Prince Henri Philippe Louis d@Orleans, Duc d’Aumale, will act in the emergency, and succeed to the full extent of his aspirations and claim, It ig thought that the Duc d’Aumale can command a majority of the members of the Assembly in favor of monarchism by means of @ direct vote on the question of monarchy or republicanism as the best form of government for France, THE NATION WANTS FACT, The whole country will welcome the news of the declaration of anything definite with the greatest joy. THE PRESIDENT THIERS’ MES- : SAGE. Official Exposition of the Condition, Foreign Relations and Hopes of the Republic. VERSAILLES, Dee. 7, 1871, Tho Message of President Thiers was received in the Frenok Legisiative Assembly to-day and read to the members, The Message announces that the British govern- ment has been notited of the tntentton of France to abrogate the Treaty of Commerce at the stipulated UUme next year, bul Franco will not discontinue negotiations for a rearrangement of her commerctat y retations with Great Britain. The Deputies are warned never to forget to what depths of wretchedness the empire had led the country, France should now look fer complete veorgantzation, to God and to time. It was her Policy to endure a dignified peace. Should war occur, despite her determination to remain at peace, it should not be ner deed. France must resume the position to which she ts entitied, not only for her own good, but in the in- terest of all nations, France sympathizes with the Pope tn the mainte: nance of his spiritual independenes, and willin case of need give the Holy Father a vigorous support, The utmost cordiaitty is manifested towarda Aus- trla, for whose prosperity a fervent hope is ox- pressed. “Tho relations of France with Russta,’’ says the President, “are those of reciprocal interest.” M. Thiers depiores the financial indebtedness of the ccuntry, but says it is due to the machinations of the Emperor Napoleon, The President advocates tne establishment of a general compulsory military service in war tune, and proposes the limitation of the annual contin- gent to 30,000 men In time of peace. ‘The message concludes with an expression of con- fidence in the patriotism of the Assembly, Naval Guard of the Coast. Paris, Dec. 7, 1871. The Figaro newspaper asserts to-day that orders have been despatclied to the naval arsenals at Cner- bourg and Brest to have vessels prepared for cruising about the coasis of France, The Figaro represents that these naval precau- tions are taken in order to prevent what {¢ calls “another return from Elba,” or, im other words, an attempt by the Bonapattists to create an armed re- actionary movement tor the restoration of Napoleon. + The Mission to Washington.
