The following is the official account of this event, pebliahed in Madrid, Dec. 27: " The 25th of December of this year will he a day of eternal sorrow fo► the Spanish Monarchy, in , consequence of the loss of a Queen endowed with ' the most eminent qualities, ■nd whn was at the same time the ornament of the Spauish throne, and the ea- , ample of every domestic virtue.

FADE DE LA BOULATE.--It appears to we, that I should not well judge the sentiments which animate the Chamber. if I did not think that It pro. tested a ..igh esteem for the character of the Noble Duke, respecting whom a proposition his been made. It further appeals to me, that the universal joy re cited by the liberation of our territhry will not he disputed, nor that the Doke de Richelieu was the ptiecipal agent in this great cork. A !cog career. honourably spent in foreign counities, hail ineevtoe him with the ronfidenee of • greet Monarch : his loyalty rendered that confidence general. It is esi• dent that he has been the strongest link in the chairs which connected foreign policy with the interests of F•aoce. All that modesty and disinicestednei+ which shed lustre upon a brilliant character, adorn that of the Noble Duke. Ile has proved that he knew how to defend to the utmost the interests and dignity of France; he etercised private forbearance, and devoted his opinion to the repose and the happi. nest of his coontry. In every point of view, the proposition that is made to os might to be discussed •ith calmness and liberality. Not only the national opinion, bet European *Onion, ought to be present to err consideration. if some difficelties arise re. spotting the conetivoiionality of the eneavnte, end on the iml•ortsnt qeestion of knowing what may be the edmintsges and inconveniences of national teem , peaces, the established nrd•r tektite in our delibe rations, permit ns to discess these difficulties in Com mittees. It is perhaps proper not to sister upon so delicate a aui•ject, either as it concerns affairs or per. suns, previously to the accustomed preparatory dis cussions. I therefore require, that the Chamberdo, fur the present. restrict itself to take into considers. tips t►e proposition which has been made. Calls for its being pet to the vote. The discussion was closed. The Chamber decided, that the proposition of M. I)eless•rt having been taken into consideration, it was sent to the Committees.
