RETRIBUTION ! Arrest of Tweed and Connolly. TWEED CHARGED WITH FELONY. WHAT WILL HE DO ABOUT IT? Connolly Accused of Gross Mis- demeanors. ‘WILL HE SLIP OUT OF IT? The Warrants Issued by Re- corder Hacketi. KEYSER THE ACCUSER. The Boss Confined in “the House That Tweed Built.’ A Detainer Against Connolly Lodged at Ludlow Street Jail. ‘The portiy form of Sherif Brennan underwent a ‘momentary tremor yesterday afternoon when at a quarter to four an oblong pleco of paper was placed in his hand. He looked at it again and again, and yet could scarcely believe fils eyes. There was, however, no mistaking either its purport or its genuineness, Everything ‘was in proper form, ana the dazed city magnate, at last, crediting the evidence of his sensea, admitted to himself that it was an order of arrest calling for the body of WILLIAM M.

When they arrived in front of that corner building Mr. Matthew T.

It has crept out, rumor- wise, that the reform people, for whom patute Charlies O’Conor has been conducting the legal proceedings, have been secretly in correspond- enco with the renowned Keyser, of contracting and “pipe-laying notoriety since that personage’s departure forSouth Carolina. KEYSER WAS SICK and could not stay in town, but the voice of the reformers followed him. The smaller voice, men whispered, was calling out to him and he could not stay away. Later, subtle rumor had it, that Reform had snaken hands with Keyser, end that, on condition of nis telling all he knew, they would GUARANTEE HIM IMMUNITY from any legal proceedings which his alleged doings might otherwise call for. At any rate when Recorder Hackett was applied to yesterday vy the Reformers for a bench ‘warrant to arrest Wm. M. Tweed on the charge of @lony. It ts understood that Keyser's was THR NAMB SIGNED TO THE AFFIDAVITS om which the rearrest was applied for.

Strange to say, not a whisper of the affair spread outside the circle of the few hotel people who kaow or suspected something, and any person visiting the motel last mght would not have dreamed of the dramatio episode in the sot- ence of city government had transpired or that its brown stone walls were those of a prison.

CRISIS OF THE REPUBLIC The Orleans Princes at Interview with the President. The Duc d’Aumale Charged by Thiers with Secret Intrigues Against the State.

THIERS T0 BE FORCED TO RESIGN The Count de Chambord To Be Bevlared King of France and the Count de Paris Heir to the Throne, TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Herarp bas been received from our corre- spondent in the capital of France :— Panis, Dec. 15, 1871. At half-past five o'clock on Thursday morn- ing another interview took place between M. Thiers and the Orleans Princes. It lasted an hour and a half, and at times was of AN UNFRIENDLY - OHARAOTER, M. Thiers especially complained that the Duc d’Aumale had not strictly observed the terms of the agreement previously arrived at, inasmuch as be bad endeavored to interest generals holding important positions under the republic in favor of his house. DAUMALE’S REPLY. D’Aumale retorted that the charge was not based on fact, and that ho denled it without equivocation. THEIRS REITERATES THE OHARGE. President Thiers replied, ‘I know that you have visited several generals, who are members of the Assembly, with the view of obtaining their support and assistance in cage of an emer- gency which might make the restoration of your house tothe throne and the overthrow of the republic a possibility. You have had several interviews with General Ducrot, and to him you laid bare your purposes. Again, you saw General Billot ; you called at hia private residence in Paris to solicit his assistance. You also saw Generals Martin, Depaillieres, Chanzy and others. I doubt not that your aim is patriotic, but to pursue it by these secret means is not in accordance with our agreement, I.am particularly surprised and discontented with this conduct, and also at the fact, that not satisfied even with these quea- tionable measures, you made similar visits to many of the subordinate generals of the Army of Paris. It is useless to deny it; I can give you their names, if you still profess to be ignorant of them.” D'AUMALE CONFUSED AND EVASIVE. The Duc d’Aumale, conscious by this time that Thiers was well informed, made an evasive reply. He terminated the inter- view with the declaration that he would now take advice from his friends, not as to whether he should take his seat in the Assembly, but simply and only with reference to the proper time for doing so. AN NONEST GENERAL, General Bourbaki told the Duc d’Aumale, in tbe presence of General Ducrot, that the republic or the empire were alone the gov- ernments that could restore the prestige or France and enjoy the confidence of the French people. He said, further, that he personally would serve under no other régime. THE ORLEANS PLAN. The plan of the Orleans party now is for the members of the “Right” to take advantage of the irritable impatience of Thiers, and at the first opportuni‘y force him, in the excitement of the moment, to tender his resignation, THIERS’ PROPOSED SUCCESSOR, This. once accomplished, Thiers is to be succeaded by making the Duc d’Aumale president of the republic. DOWNFALL OF BUE REPUBLIC, The republic is then,to be undermined, and atthe first favorabla moment betrayed once | more by declaring Count de Chambord King’ of France. There exiats a further FAMILY ARRANGEMENT, in pursuance of which, should all these plang. reswt successfully, the Count de Paris shall he declared heir apparent to the Freach tyrone, and the Duc @Aumale Lieutenant the people. $30,000 of his employer's money.
