I answer for it that he shall be neither ae .ledged nor supported by England, and that he shall not interfere with you.' Guizot, to whom I have just read this recital, admits its accuracy, and I am certain of the same testimony on the part of Lord Aberdeen if I could read it to him. Nevertheless, however anxious Lord Aberdeen might be that his agents should act as honourably as he has done, their proceedings did not answer either his or our expectations. They had recourse to all expedients to malign Count Tra pani, because they were aware that he had the best chance of success with Queen Christina and the Queen her daughter, who repeated constantly to her Ministers Quiero Trapani.' (I will have Trapani.) This young prince was represented as a dwarf, which be is not, for he is of a lofty stature and handsome features. He rides admirably, and he has even gained several prizes in the tournaments of Naples. They then objected to his having been born in Italy, in order to obliterate the re collection that he is grandson of Philip V. and of Charles 111., and to his having been educated in a convent of Jesuits at Rome, in order to represent him as bigoted, superstitious, and fanatic. Those manoeuvres, d►rected by the journals of the Progressist party, who unfortu nately have ever enjoyed the favour of the British agents in Spain, succeeded in covering the poor Tra pani with real unpopularity. It was then by an extra ordinary manmuvre, which originated in the Palace of Madrid, it was imagined—in order to cover the transition of the Queen Christina in favour of the pretensions of the Prince of Coburg —to cast on me the unpopularity of Trapani's pretensions, by making the journals resound with the astonishing absurdity that it was I, Louis Philippe, who wished to impose Trapani on the Queens of Spain—l, who had not, nor could not have any other predilection for him than that which re sulted from my knowledge that he was the one of the descendants of Philip V. to whom the two Queens ac corded their preterence—l, well known I dare say for the constant care with which I watched that my Go vernment should abstain from all interference whatever in the internal affairs of other countries—in Spain, as in Belgium, as in Switzerland, as everywhere—l, in fine, who dissolved the Ministry of M. Thiers in 1836 to pre vent the imminent invasion of the French armies in Spain. It is truly surprising that in presence of so many facts, of so many proofs of my respect for the in dependence of all states and of all governments, I have been exposed to see this accusation directed against me personally, in the article recently published in the Times, under the title (in large characters) of French Dicta tion in Spain.' . _ " All these manoeuvres brought about that step to which Queen Christina allowed herself to be persuaded. A secret agent was dispatched by her bearing a letter from herself to the Duke of Coburg, for the purpose of demanding the hand of his cousin, Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, for the Queen her daughter. The open ness of Lord Aberdeen's character induced him to give us immediate cognisance of this step, which had been concealed from us at Madrid, adding, at the same time, that neither Queen Victoria, nor Prince Albert, nor her Majesty's Government would give any support or en couragement to the demand of Queen Christina. We represented to him that, after what had passed upon the subject, we were entitled to demand of him a more positive expression of the intrigues of the English agents, which had led to this step on the part of Queen Christina : and, in fact, Lord Aberdeen addressed a very severe reprimand to Mr. Bulwer, who was on the point, it is said, of tender ing his resignation; he remained, however, at Madrid. " Such was the state of things when Lord Aberdeen quitted the British Cabinet, and was succeeded by Lord Palmerston. A very short time after his installation in the Foreign Office Lord Palmerston made a commu nication to the Comte de Jarnac of the fresh instruc- tions that he had dispatched to Mr. Bulwer relative to the affairs of Spain, and which he had already sent off a few days before without thinking it necessary to give us any previous notice a proceeding by no means conformable to our cordial understanding, and to the manner to which our relations of reciprocal confidence with Lord Aberdeen had accustomed us. In these instructions Lord Palmerston confined to three the number of princes whose pretensions to the hand of the Queen of Spain, Isabella, England admitted, that is to say, Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, Don Francisco d'Assis, Duke of Cadiz, Don Enrico, Duke of Seville. " The Comte:de Jarnao was stupefied upon seeing"the name of the Prince of Coburg placed upon this list, aad placed at the very top. He told L or d Palmerston' that it was quite at variance with the assurances constantly given by Lord Aberdeen, and he required that this can didate should be; struck out of the list. Lord Palmers ton' replied that it was utterly impossible in every way, since the instructions had been already sent ; that, moreover, the measure having been adopted in the Cabinet, he was unable to make any change in it alone, and that he was not disposed to propose any to the Cabinet. " The rest of his instructions were not of a nature to be at all more satisfactory to us. They were in a com pletely different tone, and had quite another tendency to those of Lord Aberdeen. There was not an indication or a recommendation ot a good understanding between us; and the entire tendency of the instructions went to wards assuring the Progressist party of the concurrence and support of England —a party, which, in my eyes at least, is only at bottom the more revolutionary party, the ascendancy of which in Spain had caused many deplor able events, as well in the affair of La Granja, as by placing the young Queen and leaving her under the yoke of Espartero's regency. " Such instructions as these necessarily excited fears of a return of similar disastrous scenes; and in fact they thu rina,et onni.ue niartn ;n tha rinlatql of Madrid as soon as they were known. The consequence was, that all those who had been led to make the proposal to the l)uks of Coburg, Queen Christina at their head, completely turned round, fearing the renewal of the Progressist insurrection that had been but recently ter minated in Galicia, and had led to the expulsion ot Don Enrico, and came over to us, with the demand for the immediate and simultaneous two marriages of the Queen with Don Fra,cisco d'Assis and of the Infanta with Montpensier. This simultaneity was not only the sine qua non of Queen Christina for the acceptation of Don Francisco, whom she had never desired until then, but the desire of the Ministry and of all Spaniards, who looked upon the prompt conclusion of these two mar riages as the only means of putting an end to all the in certitudes upon which were based the hopes of a party of men who were getting up new insurrections. "As soon as this change was known, the English agents, more than a month after the instructions of Lord Palmerston, which admitted as a candidate Prince Leo pold of Coburg, made every effort to support the pre tensions of Don Enrico. Nothing could be more untimely, since it was only too notorious that Don Enrico was chief, or rather the agent of all the different revolutionary parties; and Lord Palmerston at once rendered those pretensions impossible by recommending them in official documents. " It is incontestably evident, it seems to me, by this long explanation, that, on the side of England, the line of conduct agreed upon with me was not at all main tained; that the pretensions of Prince Leopold of Coburg were positively accepted, by his being placed at the head of those to whom the English Government made no objection; that combinations absolutely contrary to those to which we had agreed to confine ourselves were ren dered probable and even imminent; and that I thus found myself warranted and necessitated to use my liberty for the purpose of avoiding those combinations, as my Government had always declared that it would do, if impelled to it. It was not I, consequently, who first commenced or gave the example in deviating from sities of th te e m d y ev e ia x t p io ee n te c t o i m en m s. enced elsewhere, and quite our primary convent ions . I on l y y i elded to the neces contrary " This much explained, I will now sincerely state in what the deviation on my own side consisted. It con sists in my arranging and bringing about the marriage of the Duke of Montpensier, not before the marriage of the Queen of Spain, for she will be married to the Duke of Cadix at the same time as my son to the In fanta, but before the Queen has a child. This is my only deviation—nothing more and nothing less. This fact I desire should be appreciated as it merits by en tering into details which you will lay before Queen Victoria, as best you may be able ; for I consider them essential to the complete elucidation of the affair, and it is no petty considerations that ought to be a hindrance, after after a whole life like my own, when for the th a e a.a rs rion of one is exposed to a suspicion or evena said a (and the having broken one's word, I have alreadyit only depended upon fact is a matter of notoriety), t ' should marry the Queen of pensier, resist all the entreaties with which it: and I was able to such a marring©. Thus, myself which one of my sons, that it S t h p e a r i n A . u i m di a d le a o a r , cAhlaoanata alliance I was assailed to consent to always done, that my lion while desiring, as I have u f a a l m ly ily agreeable suited me in every manner, and did not desire that it to the Queen and all my t except under the circumstances views, hiheeci Queen sl , d n m o a o rb; r i y ec t t h ifot e hni l et nfanta — b: i c l should be contractedaduwseastheicis in this respect, to surround of Spain, and I with all was guarantees as the nearness of the myself and' the uncertainties of to the throne human that the InfantaasandoeuslidranuOts, necessarily become Queen Infanta disposition on my part ; but he desired a gua rantee admitte_d. Lord Aberdeen appeared to be satisfied with this entered m y own into part. my N e ?rimer wsrt there should ass this, gt o eo ff nuelrsdle todn be rantee against the possibility of sterility on the part .of and as that equally e o c t n n e h s oe s aon marriage objection i a o o n gn s e i o d on e f r t e mh d ey i part ao a nn s ot Never theless, eEI understoodens a s l a i n n d agre eing tohra ot with the Infanta ; and yet it is a notorious fact that ob jection was made, by anticipation, of every shade and of every degree. " In September, 1845, when Lord Aberdeen spoke to me for the first time, at the Chateau d'Eu, of the mar riage of Montpensier with the Infanta, Queen Isabella 11., although fifteen years of age all but a month, was not marriageable ; and I can assort with all sincerity that, as long as this state of the Queen's health conti nued, it would have been, even with Lord Aberdep's observations, a, complete obstacle to the marriage of the Duke of Montpensier with the Infanta, her sister. But the Queen became marriageable in the course of the winter ; and she being, according to the assurances that were given us, under the most favourable circumstances for the marriage state, nothing was left but to know whether the husband she might choose exhibited the best condition or virility. It seemed to me to be certain, from all the information, even of the mostnnna na ture, taken upen this subject with regard to Don condition, Fran cisco d'Assis, that ho was in the required and that consequently there was every_ probability. united _ ewit.r for hoping that their marriage would not. .b lut issue. The difference between only waiting fof t h e marriage of the Queen with Don Francisco d'Assis to celebrate that also of the Duke of Montpensier,-a nd. t he waiting for the birth of their first child, mreduced now to the fact of two lives instead of one between_ the In fanta and the succession to the throne.

This Company is projected for the purpose of organizing a system, upon which the importation of Cattle arid Provisions from the Con tinent of Europe, or elsewhere, may he carried on more extensively and economically than it can be by individual speculation. The bu siness of the Company will be primarily that of importing Cattle. Sheep, and Provisions from Holland, Denmark , Germany, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, and any other country which presents a favourable mar ket; and attention will also be directed to the purchase of cured and prepared Provisions, and Dairy, Farm-yard, and Orchard Produce, when it can be imported with advantage. The importation of Foreign Cattle for consumption into this coun try is still in its infancy ; but the rapid progress which it has already made, gives ample assurance, not only of the great profit attending it, but of the existence at once of a demand and supply sufficient to afford active and lucrative employment for the rescurces of a Public Company. The following returns are extracted from the Official Reports of the Board of Trade, made up the sth of January, 1848 : A Return of Live Animals imported in the years 1845, 1846, and 1847. 1845. 1846. 1847.

The above Returns exhibit a Trade in which the transactions ap • pear (from a moderate calculation) to have amounted during tke last year to more than a million and a halt sterling, and to have in creased in value five-fold in the short space of two two years. These results, too, have obtained by the feeble agency and operations of Individual enterprise alone; and if these have been profitable, how much snore so would be the organized operations of a Public Com pany in the same field? The advantage which this Company possesses, will not consist solely in the greater extent of their resources, and the more perfect agency under their direction, but also in the economy with which their capital will be employed. By proper arrangements with re spectable houses abroad, they will be able, with a comparatively limited capital, to carry on a very extensive scale of importations from all the productive sources of supply. The Committee have the gratifl&ition of announcing that they have secured most eligible water-side premises, and that parties of high character and longstanding abroad, are prepared to enter into the necessary arrangements with the Company, and to co eperate with it in realising its anticipations of success in which they warmly concur. _ _ _ In addition, the committee would advert to the great facilities which the progress of steam navigation and railway traffic has at length afforded for the vigorous and successful conduct of that branch of international trade which this Cotnpany will carry on. A constant and expeditious intercourse is now kept up by steam navi gation between the ports of London, Yarmouth, Harwich, Lowes toft, Great Grimsby, and Hull, on this side, and the principal ports of the continent on the other ; and from the latter railways are diverging in every direction into the interior •f the continent, through the rich grazing districts of Holland, Hanover, Prussia, Holstein, and other States of Germany, from which large supplies of cattle and provisions can thus, at all times, be procured. As an Act of Parliament will not be required for the incorporation of the Company, the expenses incurred in its formation will not be considerable, and the interests of the shareholders will be secured by a deed of settlement, prepared by counsel, until which time all con tracts as to shares will be entered into by and with the secretary only as a trustee for the Company. The Company will commence operations as soon as a competent number of shares are taken, and a sufficient amount paid up to ren der it expedient. The Committee have power to increase or diminish the capital, and to reserve a portion of the shares for allotment at a future period, if deemed advisable. Applications for shares to be sent to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, No. 3, Lothbury, where prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained. Also at the offices of the Solicitors to the Company—Adam Spielman, Esq., Lombard-street ; the Bull Inn, Market-place, the Bell Inn, and the Cattle Market Inn, Norwich; Mr. Laws, the Quay ; Mr. Costerton, Regent-street, and at the Bear and Angel Inns, Great Yarmouth ; Mr. Cavell Deal ; Mr. Burrell, Hastings; Mr. Freeman, Market-place, Northampton; Messrs.

REPORT OF TILE DIRECTORS. rrtsented at the Annual General Meeting. held at the Society's Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 1848. Having, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the Proprietors awl Assured a very full account of the Society's affairs, your Directors have but little to communicate on the present oc casion. It may, however, be satisfactory to those now assembled to learn that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising from the yearly establishment of many new Life Assurance Offices, the business of this Society still continues to advance. In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state the following facts : I. The number of Policies granted ea the lives of Clergymen, a class of persons generally distinguished for longevity, has been greater during the year ending June 30th last (the period compre hended in this report) than in any one year since the commence ment of the society. 11. The Society's Income, which was 116,3821. In the year ending June 30th, 1846, aliounted to 122,9061. in the year ending June 30th, 1 , 347. 111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has been 513, and the amount assured thereby 2E7,079/. Being an increase, both in the number of policics and in the sum assured, over these of any preceding year. In conclusion, the I)irectors are happy to inform the Proprietors that the Society has net in any degree suffered from the great mor tality which has prevailed of late throughout the kingdom, the claims, both in the course of the year ending June 33, 1847, and also within the six months ending with December last, not having equalled either in number or amount those of preceding years. Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained of any of the Society's Agents, or by addressing a letter to GEO. H. PINCIiARD, Resident Secretary.

Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London "Linton, Cambridge, October 25 - , 1847 " GETiTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas sar Oil in the restoration of the hair has just coma under my notice. The person alluded to is a young man named Ilaylock. of Ashdon, near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac countable means. He purchased of me several different popular pre parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect ing the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me the pleasing intelligence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair. You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to, " Yours respectfully, " J. SERGEANT, Bookseller, &c." ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL. This elegant, fragrant, and transparent Oil, in its preservative, re. storative, and beautifying qualities for the Human Hair, is unequal lei over the whole world.

C i 2 FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE. I.y The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black, without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro duce's by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing the roots till the latest period of life.

ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR BREAD-STREET WARD. The Lord Mayor has issued a precept for the election of an Alderman for the ward of Bread-street, vacant by the resignation of Mr. Hughes Hughes. The only candidate for the gown is Mr. William Lawrence, one of the most uncompromising Reformers of the Court of Common Council, of which he has been an active and distingushed member for some years. The election will take place in Cordwainers' Hall on Saturday next. Alderman Salomons officiated on Monday last in Bread-street Ward, in the place of Alderman Hughes Hughes, and bad also performed the duties of the magisterial office of that gentleman on the previous Saturday, in swearing in special constables for the pro tection of the peace. The conduct of Mr. Salomons is daily entitling him to the highest commendations of his fellow-citizens. On Tuesday a letter was transmitted to him by the ward clerk of Bread-street ward. The fol lowing is a copy : Cordwainers' Hall, April 11, 1848. " Sir,—The inhabitants of the ward of Bread-street, sworn special constables, desire through me to tender you their sincere and cordial thanks for the marked at tention, courtesy, and kindness evinced towards them by you ; attention they more higly ♦alue, because your arduous duties have been superadded to those of an extremely onerous nature in your own ward. " They request me to add, that they shall hail with pleasure the opportunity of publicly testifying their sentiments of regard and esteem for you, which will be afforded to them at the approaching election for alder man of this ward, but no one will be more happy to do so than myself." The Lord Mayor will preside at the election. BATHS AND WASIIMOUSE3 FOR THE LABOURING CLASSES.—Yesterday a 'meeting, composed of the com- mittee and supporters of the above undertaking for the benefit of the labouring classes in the north-west districts of the metropolis, was held at the institutioa in George street, Euston-square, to receive a general report of the progress of the institution since its opening in August, 1846; J. P. Gibbins, Esq., in the chair. The statistical _ . . ~ . and financial statement was of a highly satisfactory na. ture—the numbers of persons who tip to the piesent period have availed themselves of its benefits being more than 185,000 male and female bathers; and above 60,000 poor women have washed, dried, ironed, and mangled the linen of themselves and families, averaging at least four in number in each family. The debt of the society for the building fund has been reduced to 7811. 8. 6d. The increase of bathers during the past month, ending the 9th instant, corresponding with the same month last year, was 1.817, and 2,553 washers, ice. The present building is, however, inadequate to the additional ac commodation which is daily required both by bathers and washers, as, during the summer season last year, 200 or 300 were almost daily obliged to be refused ad mission. The New River Company have liberally offered a further site of ground for the erection of addi tional baths and wash houses, as soon as the necessary funds for the erection can be made. The receipts for the last four weeks, ending the 9th instant, were 1601. 6s. Bd., expenditure 1061. 18s. Id., being a profit on the working for that period of 531. Bs. 7d ; and the donations to 21/. 10s. ld. EAST INDIA llOUSE.—Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the election of six directors in the room of Sir Robert Campbell, Mr. William Joseph Eastwick, Sir James Weir Hogg, M.P., Lieutenant Colonel William Henry Sykes, Mr. John Clermont W hiteman, and Sir henry Willock,K.L.S., who go out by rotation. At six o'clock the glasses were closed awl delivered to the scrutineers, who reported that the elec tion had fallen on Mr. Henry Alexander, Hon. William Henry Leslie Melville, Major James Oliphant, Mr. John Shepherd, Mr. Fracnis Warden, and Major-General James Caulfield, C.B. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the thanks of the Court were voted unanimously to Mr. Henry St. George Tucker, chairman, and Lieutenant-General Sir James Law Lushington, G.C.8., deputy-chairman, for their great application and attention to the affairs of the East India Company during the past year. SOCIETY OF ARTS.—The twelfth ordinary meeting of the Society of Arts was held yesterday evening, at the Society's house, in the Adelphi; Sir J. P. Boileau, Bart.,:Vice-President in rotation, in the chair. A com munication was made by Mr. Digby Wyatt on the art of enamel, ancient and modern, which was illustrated by original drawings. A specimen of wood carving by hand, by Mr. James Batsford, was placed on the table, and much admired by the society for the perfection of the workmanship, and the elegance of the design. Mr. W. Burch communicated some plans connected with im provements: in railway mechanism, the objects being, first, to break the shock of railway trains in cases of collision; second, to produce a self- acting graduated time signal; and, third, a suggestion for a new method of applying the elastic resisting power of steel as rail way carriage springs. One subject more remained on the paper, viz., a communication by Mr. C. Chubb, of St. Paul's Churchyard, on a railway safe, and new patent lock, for the use of bankers and others, in conveying valuable parcels upon railways. The construction of this ingeniously contrived chest has been already de scribed at full length, and the absolute security which it affords for the conveyance of bullion, notes, bills, &c., is so obvious from the inspection of the chest itself, and for the arrangement for carrying it, that it is needless here to repeat it. The thanks of the society having been voted to the authors of the several commu nications made, the sitting terminated. SLAVE TRADE.—By a return made to Parliament, just issued, it is shown that in 1846 her Majesty's squa dron captured 39 vessels on suspicion of being engaged in the slave-trade, and 67 in the year 1847. The num ber of slaves landed and liberated at Sierra Leone in 1832 was 1,701; in 1833, 1,838; in 1834, 3,068: in 1835, 4,646; in 1836, 6,904; in 1837, 6,033; in 1838, 5,341; in 1839, 3,233; in 1840, 720; in 1841, 306; in 1842, 440; in 1843, 808; in 1844, 2,351; in 1845, 1,189; in 1846, none; and in 1847, none. CONSECRATION or ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH:* Tuesday the Bishop of London consecrated the Church of St. Matthew (in the parish of St. Luke's), City-road. The solemn ceremony was attended by a highly respect able congregation, which filled the sacred edifice, and which is capable of containing about 1,500 persons. The Right Rev. Prelate preached a sermon from St. John, c. xx ver. 19. The construction of the church is ac cording to the Saxon style of architecture, being built of Caen stone, and Kentish rags, without a gallery, and all the seats are free. The Bishop of Antigua, the Rev. 2.1 r. Saunders, Rector of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Howard, the Minister of the new church, and the clergy of the district were present. The chants were performed by the gentlemen choristers of Westminster Abbey, assisted by the choristers of the Bencher's private chapel, of Lincoln's Inn-fields. EASTER TERM.—Easter Term commences on Saturday. In the Queen's Bench the arrears number 97, in the Common Pleas 96, and in the Exchequer 74, making 266 in the three courts, an insignificant total compared with former years. At the commencement of Hilary Term last they exceeded 350. In the Queen's Bench there are six demurrers and special cases, and 35 for argument ; in the new trial paper 42 for argument, and 15 for judgment. With the exception of two mat ters, the rules for argument are not more than a year old. In the Court of Common Pleas there are 40 in the in pe t r h e e rep Ct ci;ta f p Exchequerer which entered for argument, and in the remanet paper there are seven enl arge d ru l es, 46 new tr i a l s, and 15 mat , ters for j u d gment, besides two registration appeals ; whilst werethere e are b t a fi i v n e e d January last ; fit the demurrer list there are two for judgment, and 1 7 for argument ; three special cases for judgment, rind 20 for argument ; and in the new trial paper one, for judgment, and twenty-seven for ar gument. The arrears of the three courts are by no means considerable, and the Learned Judges will, on the present occasion, begin their labours with well grounded hopes that thf: arrears will be further diminished in a short time. A MODE L BOWL or PUNCH.--In 1694, a bowl of punch was made at the Right Hon. Edward Russell's house, when he was Commander-in-Chief of his Ma jesty's fore( , s in the Mediterranean. It was made in a fountain in a garden, in the middle of four walks, all ' covered overhead with lemon and orange-trees, and in every walk was a table, the whole length of it, covered with cold collations, &c. In the said fountain were the following ingredients, viz.—four hogsheads of brandy, eight ditto of water, 25,000 lemons, twenty gallons of lime-juice, thirteen cwt. of lump sugar, five lb. of grated nutmegs, 300 toasted biscuits, and a pipe of dried Ma laga wine. A canopy protected the fountain from the rain, and a. boy from the fleet rowed a boat round the fountain, shin]. tilled the cups of the company, which cora• prised up wart 15 of 600 men. SECRET DOCUMENTS AND DIS PATCHES OF THE EX-KING OF THE FRENCH. The second number of the Revue Retrospective, published in Paris, contains several documents (dis covered inl the ;portfolios of Lous Philippe, after his departure from that capital), which possess much interest, and are of no little importance. Nearly all of them relate to the question of the Spanish marriages. The following is the introduction in the Revue to hese documents : " The subjoined documents were discovered in two portfolios left by Louis Philippe at the Tuileries, which were said to be lost, but which are now de posited in the office of the Procureur-General of the Court of Appeal of Paris. All the papers are in the handwriting of the personages by whom they are signed. The curious account of the Spanish mar riages, written by the ex-King to his daughter the Queen of the Belgians, and the letter of the same to M. Guizot, are minutes in the handwriting of Louis Philippe, and full of corrections and alterations. The letters of M. Guizot, all written on the occasion of those marriages, are likewise in the handwriting of the ex- Minister. With respect to M. Salyandy, in whose letters there is such frequent reference to the King's feet, the letter is also in his handwriting; it is signed by him, and everybody will recognise his gq le." M. GUIZOT TO TEE KING. " Sire,—Glucksberg has just seen me. I shall post pone till Saturday all that 1 wish to say to your Ma jesty and I do so without regret, because, on the one side, nothing to this moment has been dose at Madrid. Bulwer is suffering from a severe fever, which has placed him in,the greatest danger; and on the other side, I perceive, according to what Glucksberg relates to me, that; notwithstanding the uneasiness which your Ma jesty still experiences, his opinion entirely agrees with my own, that we may proceed to our purpose, and at the same time preserve all that freedom which is neces sary to prevent our becoming the dupes of anybody. " I enclose a letter from Bresson, which informs me that the Duke of Cadiz has at length repaired to Madrid He is new on the scene. Your Majesty will take notice of the words of Queen Christina respecting the opposi tion of the English to the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke of Montpensier. This completely confirms my suspicions in regard to the wishes of the Coburg family, that her marriage should be contracted with a .member of that house. " I also send some ordinances of but little moment, which I hope that your Majesty will be willing to sign; and likewise a letter from the King of Bavaria, which has just been sent to me by Count Luxbourg. " I intend to set out this evening for Paris. I hope to-morrow to be at Sorbonne, where I expect that my son will await me. I will return to Paris, where I en treat your Majesty will retain everything for me. On Saturday I shall be at the Tuileries au hour previous to the council, with the outline of a trifling project.

[This letter, written over the head of a letter from the office of M de Remusat, forms (as may be seen) part of a correspondence carried on by the private secretary of the Minister of the Interior of the Government of the Ist of March, with M.

An accidental deafness which troubled me for some time past compelled me yesterday and the day before to apply leeches behind my ears. This is what has pre vented my writing to you until to-day. I have little in formation to give jvu, no I ho.•c R ona out very little, ana sern very few pvrsons for some days past. " The - treasonable attempt (atte;tai) of Darmes ap pears to have hastened the maturity of a state of matters already almost ripe. The public mind is much alarmed at it, and, I must admit, with reason. It is a wretched state of things, which cannot be shaken for a moment without some such froth rising up out of it. People are beginning to blame the Government generally for not having prosecuted M. de Lamennais's pamphlet, as also a vast number of petty, poisonous writings, which are circulated among the people, and poison their minds. The boldest even go so far as to say that the National ought to be prosecuted; its style would remind our of the days, if they could be forgotten, when its articles were written by the editors of the Tribune. " To cap the climax of the ' situation,' a telegraphic dispatch has just announced to us that the Queen of into the th a e hands Spain orefsihgenredmhineristsecriv, triumphant revolution on the other side of the Pyrenees, enemies everywhere—abroad and at home. er E e s ig pa e r tY ter e o n. the Thus l 2t is h 'e " You know that the Ultras among the Spaniards threaten, arms in hand, to bring a republic upon us, whilst itussia throws a new coalition upon us. " The Germanic Confederation, on the invitation of Prussia, has, in its turn, prohibited the transit of horses. " The session approaches meanwhile, and on the first day of it the trial of strength will be made on the ques tion of the presidency of the Chamber. I know that some of your friends think that you ought not to vote, but certainly those are not the most numerous. The Mi nistry will make it an open question; you will thus be free to vote as you wish, and even though it were other wise, I could not understand your hesitating now, above all, when our foreign policy is complicated by a state of matters at home equally grave. " No person can dispute the right of voting against M. Barrot. The question of his presidency has been precisely what has prevented your entering the Cabinet. You will be faithful to your precedents. If you let the 15th of April alone take the initiative of his exclusion, you throw us into a situation which will have no issue. M. Mole is as impossible as M. Thiers. " You know my sentiments on the conduct which can alone save us—the most violent boldness, and, if neces sary, foreign war —the most decistve Conservative re action, and, if necessary, a sort of terror inspired by the Government at home. I see no other means to en able us to struggle against the dangers of our position at home and abro a d. M. Thi ers represents the revolu tionary spirit in too great a degree. M. Mole is too much for peace at any price. " You alone represent the just medium—that of Ca simir Perrier, who vigorously repressed domestic dis orders, and dispatched the French army to the assist ance of Brussels, at the risk of drawing a general war upon us. " With energy it is yet possible to repair all; but there is no need of commencing an energetic line of conduct by an act of weakness. Now, in my opinion, it would be an act of weakness to avoid voting on the question of the Presidency. That would be quite to alienate from you the old Conservative party, who, at present, desire nothing better than to come to inti mate terms with you; and it would be also to preserve an equivocal position, at a time whoa every position is accurately defined. " Sir, I should ask pardon for speaking with such freedom to you; but you know my devotion, and you ought to perceive by persevering in these same ideas, what also is my conviction. " A thousand respectful compliments, " LAVERNE." " On the 24th of December, 1839, Louis Phillipe, who wished to have this list, iu order that it might be preserved, wrote, with his own hand, upon the report of General Schneider, who had presented the ordinance, the following note, of which he took care to make a du plicate, and which he affixed to the decree, a copy of which he had also preserved. " I have, for this once, signed the ordinance for the payment which has been proposed to me; but for the future it will be necessary that the accounts of secret expenditure for the War Department be submitted for my approval in the same form as those of the Interior; that is to say, by distinct statements, upon which every article of expenditure must be specified singly, with the same minuteness and detail as are furnished by the two other departments for the Interior and for Foreign Affairs relative to their secret expenditure.' " Dec. 24, 1839." FROM LOUIS PHILIPPE TO THE QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS. " Neuilly, September 14, 1846. " My dearest Louise,—The Queen has just received a letter, or rather a reply from Queen Victoria, to the one you know she had written to her, and that reply greatly grieves me. I am inclined to believe that our good little Queen was as sorry to write such a letter as I was to read it. But she now only sees things through the spectacles of Lord Palmerston, and those spectacles distort and disfigure them too often. This is quite natural. The great difference between the spectacles of the excellent Aberdeen and those of Lord Palmerston proceeds from the difference of their dispositions. Lord Aberdeen wished to be well with his friends ; Lord Palmerston, I fear, wishes to quarrel with them. This is, my dear Louise, that which caused my alarm respect ing the maintenance of our cordial understanding when Lord Palmerston resumed the direction of the Foreign Office. Our good Queen Victoria sought to dispel those alarms, and assured me there would only be a change of men. But my old experince induced me to apprehend that, through the influence of Lord Palmers ton, much more perhaps than his intentions, the political system of England would undergo a modification, gradual or sudden, and, unfortunately, the affairs of Spain have afforded an opportunity. " In the first moment that followed the perusal of the letter of Queen Victoria, I was tempted to write to her directly, and I even began a letter to appeal to her heart and recollections, and demand to be judged by her equit ably, and, above all, more affectionately, but the fear of embarras s i ng her stopped me, and I prefer wr i t i ng t o you,toshom I c an say everyt hi ng , to g i ve you a ll the explanation necessary to ' replace the things in their true light,' and to preserve us from that odious suspicion which, I may say, wi th the utmost sincerity, should not be visited on us. " I shall resume matters with f you from the beginning, and go back to the origin t o hat th d e Spanish marriages. You knew, my dear friend, Queen n ring her regency, and long before her expulsion, christina repeat edly invited us to conclude the ' marriages of our two younger sons, the Dukes d'Aumale and de Montpensier, with her two daughters, Queen Isabella 11. and replied the to her that, Louise Ferdinande. We constantly that, as respected the Queen, however flattered we might be by such an all iance, it was out of th e question, and that we had come to an irrevocable determination on the subject ; but that, with regard to the Infanta, we should think of it when we should be nubile, or, as they say i n England, marriageable ; and that, provided there was a good chance that she should not become Queen, but re main an Infanta, it was an alliance we should very much like, and should conclude with pleasure for the Duke de .elontpensier. " The military successes of all my sons having giving a new impulse to that favourable opinion which mani fested itself everywhere on their behalf, and after the glorious combat of Ain Taguin, where the Duke d'Au male commanded, and in which he succeeded in cap turing the entire camp (alias the smala) of Abd-el- Kader, surrounded his name with that prestige which always dazzles the men of every country, a cry arose in Spain, which I may say was almost universal, ex pressing a wish that the Duke d'Aumale be married to Queen Isabella 11. But I coutinued as deaf to that wish as I had been to those which were successively addressed to me to place the Duke de Nemours on the thrones of Belgium and Greece, and to marry him to the Queen of Portugal. My refusals were positive and formal. I never deceived anybody. I spoke frankly to the Portuguese, as I did to the Belgians. I left no illusion in the minds of those who feared or those who desired, and after my sincerity in the intentions which I proclaimed not to accept the hand of the Queen of Spain for the Duke d'Aumale,had been proved with so much eclat by his marriage with a Princess of Naples, it is incon ceivable that Lord Palmerston should now speak to Count de Jarnac, my Chargé d'Affaires in London,in a note writ ten with his own hand, of that concealed ambition, which he thinks proper to consider as the moving principle of my:conduct relative to the marriage of the Duke de Mont prosier with the Infanta Louise Ferdinande. " Before even Qua en Christina came to l'aris, and since that period in the numerous conversations I had With LIVI that Lor..t.y conongo. us. I always replied to her entreaties—that the hio.b.ind of the Queen, her daughter, should be one of my sons,—by manifesting to her an opinion, in which I never varied, and which is to-day confirmed by the nearly unanimons assent of Spain, that the husband of the Queen should, on the contrary, be chosen among the princes descendants of Philip V., in the masculine line, a clause which ex cluded all my sons, since they only descend from Philip V. in the female line, by the Queen, my dear and most beloved wife, but which included among the princes then marriageable three sons of Don Carlos, two sons of Don Francisco de Paula, two Princes of Naples, and a Prince of Lucca. My Government, fully concurring in that opinion, had even instructed one of our diplomatic agents (M. Pageot) to expose it to the three Courts of London, Vienna, and Berlin. That mis sion was attended with no result. Nevertheless, Lord Aberdeen was so struck with it, that, after considering all the difficulties those Princes offered, he at once de clared that Count d'Aquila, brother of the King of Naples and of Queen Christina, would be the choice that presented least embarrassment. The Prince having shortly afterwards married the Princess of Brazil, Dona Januaria, the preference of Queen Christina, among those Princes, devolved on her younger brother, Count Tra pani, and it is that (and not any personal preference on my part) which produced what has been called his candi dature, of which so deplorable a use has been since made. The marriage of the Infanta, who was only 10 years old, was not then talked of, and one party was endeavouring to force me to consent to the marriage of the Duke d'Aumale and the other to prevent it. It was amidst that struggle the project was started, no matter by whom, no matter how, to marry the Queen of Spain to Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, nephew of the King of the Belgians, cousin-german of Queen Victoria and of Prince Albert, brother to the King of Portugal, of the Duchess de Nemours, and of Prince Augustus, my son in-law. " It was an unfortunate circumstance that such a can didate should have been proposed. It placed all parties in a false position, and me particularly, in consequence of the opposition which I thought it my duty to make to it, and I see according to the terms of the letter of Queen Victoria to what extent parties were mistaken and how unjust they were in their appreciation of the motives which suggested this opposition. These motives sprung as much from the sincere friendship which I bear the Princes of Coburg (and of which, I believe, I have given them more than one proof in the part which I took to facilitate the new illustrations of their house), zed as in the same political considerations which induced me to refuse to propose my own children. I was convinced, and I am still more than ever of that opinion, that it Prince Leopold had been the successful candidate, it would have brought misfortune on the head of this young Prince, and likewise on that of the Queen herself (had she married hire), by producing the overthrow of their throne, and by plunging Spain into an anarchy from which it is always so difficult to preserve her. You are aware, my dear Louise, to what t I poinhave developed that opinion so frequently in my conversation with your excellent King, as well as in the lette rs w hich I wrote to hi m , an d you must recollect all the argu ments which I used to convince him. I will not, there fore, repeat th em i n this letter,already bu t I will call t o y our recollection hO much,w so tind ur hOw con stantly, I regretted that the example which I gave by excluding my own sons h as not been followed, an d t h a t this candidate, whose success would be a common mis fortune, was not formally repelled and set aside from the first by those who had authority to do so, which would have probably saved some from being much and uselessly disappointed, and me from one of the most poignant griefs I ever experienced (and, God knows, I have ex perienced many in the course of my long life!) and to all our countries, and to the entire world, the danger of the misfortunes which would necessarily. befal them I if the present embarrassment was not termina ted, as have the firm confidence it will be, by the maintenance and the consolidation of that precious cordial u d standing which alone can preserve them from . it. __ onj.

Ido not desire better; for if the Queen were to remain sterile, the Infanta would be come the necessary or the inevitable heiress, and that would not suit me no more than you; but, however, there must be some reciprocity in this affair, and if I give you your securities it is just that in return you s hould give me mine. Now mine are, th at you will do all in your power that Queen Isabella shall choose her husband from amongst the descendants of Philip V., aside." Be that Prince Leopold of S axe Coburg be set Be it so,' replied Lord Aberdeen. We are of the same opinion with you, that th e b est which can be done is that the Queen should select her husband from amongst the descendants of Philip V . We cannot take the ini tiative on this question as we have done, but we will suffer you to act; we y ou, merely follow and at all " tut ' we will not ILO in Opposition to you As to Phu. " SECRET EXPENDITURE. The following is the preface to this document, to which we have already referred:— " The Ministerial departments of the Interior, of Foreign Affairs, and of War, show that every year large amounts of money are charged by the Ministers, under the head of secret expenditure, of which no account has been rendered to the King. Louis Philippe, however, during many years, made a collection of these annual financial papers, which collection was discovered at the Tuileries,;whence it was sent to the Court of Appeal. These documents, in order to be complete, should also contain other statements, such as gratuities to artists and literary men—gratuities which the Minister of the Inte rior and of Public Instruction improperly distributed in secret. " We shall commence to-day with the Minister of War, whose secret expenditure may be classified under two heads—that given away at home, and that distri buted in Algeria. "The first description of these disbursements is almost entirely included in money placed at the direction of the commandants of the ,military divisions, but which does not at all interest our readers, including also secret fo reign missions, which at present it would be attended with inconvenience to specify, the dry details of which, therefore, we:shall not relate. "In the secret expenditure for Algeria, some was laid out in Africa, and, although more or less equitable possesses no particular interest, being placed under tho direction of general :officers, or of sup eriors entrusted with commands. But the Algerian expenses, ordered and paid in France, are frequently of another character, and we notice among the participating parties a great number of French Arabs.
