    THE CHEVALIER DE CHATELAIN , To the Editor of * The Publishers Circular :

    Sir , —In your notice , on the 1 st inst ., relattive to the late Chevalier de Chatelain there is at least on © remarkable error . I have before me both the French and English versions of the ' curious prediction / and abore the latter is printed ' Prohecy on the Fall of the Second Empire 2 September 1870 '

    Morep , , . can over - ' - - " it * , you be IL ^ -VS * will a « . V ^ / observe ^ V of -f * , the C the Jl *^ JL rei words VI of ^ J . 'Seco Louis —*«^ W « MK nd 9 Phili ^ k . Emp 1 * 11 ^ ire ' * ? are in the first line of the prediction itself . How then pr A pos A ^ 1 gn g ** \ - _«« ppe t ~ JC

    I may add that , at Bordeaux , on the 5 th of May , 1831 , the Chevalier was condemned to six months ' imprisonment and fined 1 , 320 Irancs for disputing * the assumed right to make Louia Philippe king , and . he subsequentlrefused the facilities which were offered him to quit France for England . There isI

    y , j think , no foundation lor the assertion , * his property was confiscated and he fled to England . ' \ I Sirobedient servant
