THE FRENCH "FUSION" AT FROHSDORF.
THE papers announced the other day in "second editions," by "submarine and electric telegraph," the important fact that "the Duke de Nemours had called on the Count de Chambord at Frohsdorf;" and a subsequent communication brought the equally important intelligence that the Prince de Chambord had since returned the call. How it can signify to Europe in general, or to England in particular, to be told that these two princes are now on visiting terms is a puzzle to us, who look upon the affair with as much unconcern as we should have felt at the intimation that Jones had been to Robinson's, and that Robinson had returned Jones's card. We suppose, however, that the electric telegraph will speedily be put into requisition to communicate the progress of the fusion through all its stages, from the first interchange of the conventional pasteboard, to the final drawing up of a family compact. We shall expect to meet with such passages as the following in the columns of our contemporaries before the end of the month:—
"By Submarine and Electric Telegraph.—The Count de Chambord asked the Duke de Nemours to breakfast this morning, and the Duke de Nemours returned the compliment by inviting the Prince de Chambord to tea in the afternoon."
