Peals, March 5.—The organization known as the League -of Patriots has violently de- nounced the visit of Empress Frederick of Germany to the palace of 'Versailles on Mon- day last. The League has decided to hold daily meetings of protest until the imperial visitor leaves. It is known here that in Berlin it was ex- pected that President Carnot would call upon Empress Frederick, but after a special Cabinet meeting hall been held and the question fully discussed, it was decided that as Empress Frederick was travelling incog- nito the French Government could colnprum- ise the matter by sending the chief of Presi- dent Carnot's military household, Gen. Brugere, and M. Ribot, the Minister of For- eign Affairs, to call upon the Empress. This was accordingly done, Gen. 13i•ugero anti ivT. Ribot calling at the (Semen etribasey and in- scribing their naives in the visitors' book. This question of etiquette was undoubted- ly the cause . f much auxiety and w.,rry to the members of the French Cabiuet, audwas made the subject of a long and cattiest dis- cussion before it was finally concluded that the Government could not dare to risk the verdict, of public opinion in case President Carnot called upon the imperial visitor to Paris.
