The calculations, which apply to their first establishment at Wood ford, show that upon an unusually small proportion of burials, at least 12 per cent. per annum will be realised during 350 years, In which period the ground will be fully occupied, while upon the pro bable proportion of burials it would exceed 20 per cent. per annum during 250 years, even at a reduction of prices.

In announcing the early appearance of this long-desired addition to our daily literature, it seems only necessary to remark, that with all the attractions usually offered to the reading public, TIIE CUR TAIN addresses itself more peculiarly to three classes :- 1. To the Lover of the Drama, in all its varied forms of Tragedy, Comedy, Opera, Farce, Vaudeville, and Ballet, it will present a complete herald and record of every occurrence of interest in the vast theatrical world. 2. To the Literary, to all who love to trace the workings of fancy, or relish wit and humour. abundant food will be offered and sup plied from the pens of the most celebrated and popular writers of our time. . . . 3. To advertisers it will prove of the highest importance, as a 've hicle for the widest possible dissemination of their announcements, and afford the most unwonted facilities, inasmuch as, independent of its general circulation, TIIE CURTAIN will, by exclusive and express appointment of the several managements, be sold nightly, as in Paris, in every theatre in the metropolis ; and on the first day of publication, no less a number than Ten Thousand will be gra tuitously distributed in the various theatres.

HOSIERY.—The cotton hosiery trade, in all its branches, is in much the same state as ithas been forsome time past—the cut-up branches being the most depressed. This depression ha* even reached the coarse hose of Leicester. We understand the hosiery trade is rapidly increasing in Philadelphia and the neighbourhood, and agents have come over here to engage bleachers, dyers, trimmers, ironers, and others, who are capable of finish • in g hosiery goods. The silk glove blanch is, if any thing, rather worse ; but the season of the year should be considered, The plain silk hose branch, now ex tremely limited, is a shade better, especially in the neighbouring county of Derby. The knotted branch is still in abeyance, and many good hands have gone into the cut-up branch. The remnant of this once extensive manufacture is principally at Mansfield. —Nottingham Review. We understand that it is the intention of Govern ment to erect forthwith a battery at Penlee Point, so as to command Cawsand Bay.

You will say that we have got a better settlement of the question now. In will be destroved. lied it been so before, the famine in Ireland might have been much mitigated, although it was not possible to calculate to what extent. Now this should advan tage of having men in power who were ready to act on their own principles. It was no excuse to say that Sir Robert Peel was kept hack by his party. Ile should not have encouraged the delusions of that party, but should have given the support to Lord John Russell which Lord John Russell gave to him. The interests of his country would have been promoted by the change, and if the late Ministry have fallen, it is not to be regretted. I have alluded to two transactions of great importance; there is now one other subject, on which I have already given some political offence. I allude to the discussions on the Factory Bill. I have strong feelings on this subject, and by differing with some friends on it I place myself in opposition to the Ministry and to a part of the constituency to whom I am bound by gratitude and respect. I think that the principle of a Ten Hours' Bill is dangerous to the best interests of the working man. I was the first to allude in the House of Commons to what had been done in Sheffield. It was forced upon me, and I could not speak of it there in a way, different from what I spoke of it before you. But I have been led into error with respect to the operation of this Bill upon some of your trade regulations. I stated that there were limitations as to the sons of men connected with the trade, and which regulations I am happy to find do not exist. At a meeting held yesterday, with the trades' delegates, I was completely satisfied that I was wrong. lam also of opinion that an error made in the /louse of Commons should be repaired in the House of Commons, and I told the gentlemen whom I met yesterday, that if they would submit to me a written statement of what was told rue yesterday, I should have the greatest pleasure in acknowledging the mistake which I had unconsciously made. Upon all other points of this question I retain the same opinions which I always did. With the mass of intel lect and energy which are to be found among the working classes, I think they are doing themselves the greatest in jury by restricting the hours of labour, and building for themselves prisons which they might be brought into. By a free interchange of commodities higher wages and more permanent employment might be obtained than by making factious complaints. I tell you fairly I shall go to the House of Commons this year to see the Ten Hours' Bill carried. I say this on a higher authority than my own, and believe that Lord John Russell will give some modification of a Ten Hours' Bill his support. I believe the Bill is founded on principles utterly destructive of the right that there should be a minimum of labour and a maximum of wages. It can not be done, for there is no permanent profit and demand; and adhering to these principles, I do believe most fairly that I consult your interest by taking the course I intend to take. I believe I have now gone into everything. I have told you what we agree upon and what we disagree upon. You have inferred that I was the instrument of a party de sirous of putting down trades' union and re-establishing com bination laws. But to put down open associations lead to secret associations, and I would not inflict such an injustice upon the country. The combination law was useless while it existed, for masters had a right to combine on one side and men on the other, and I do not wish to prevent them if their combinations are kept within proper limits. When you fix a price independent of demand, you may obtain a temporary gain, but you will not obtain permanent employment, nor is there so much certainty of extending the foreign trade. I hope you are satisfied with the frankness of the statements which I have made, although you may not agree with them; and if I have done anything wrong, I am perfectly willing and perfectly desirous to make you amends. The Hon. Member sat down loudly cheered. THE SPANISH MARRIAGES. moment, the only question between the Cabinet of London and ourselves which is pregnant with im portant results or with possible difficulties. Let us endea vour at once to obviate these difficulties. You were perfectly right in affirming that we should approve of he sons of Don Francisco de Paula. They come within the category which we have laid down : they are Bourbons, descendants of Philip V., and (what is an important advantage) Spanish Princes. We do not entertain, and we have never expressed, any objection to them. Our only reason for not mentioning them was, that Queen Christina, the young Q teen, and her Go vernment, declared that they would not hear of them. Our only reason for supporting the pretensions of the Count of Trappani (which we did with the knowledge and on th 9 suggestion of Lord Aberdeen) was, that he was, at that time, the one of the de s cendants of Philip V. who appeared to have the best, if not the only, chance of success. Queen Christina was entirely in his favour. The prospect of this marriage had induced the Court of Naples to recognise the title of the Queen of Spain. We were bound to support him as we did, by the principl , we had laid down, that any descendant of Philip V. would be agreeable to us. But the popular feeling in Spain now appears to be extremely adverse to the Count of Trappani. Queen Christina seems no longer in clined to him, and nhnost denies having thought of him. The Infantes, sons of Don Carlos, and especially the Count de Alontemolin, are in the thoughts and on the lips of many persons of consideration, both in and out of Spain. A marriage with one of them would deter mine the Northern Court to recognise the title of the Queen of Spain. We, for our part, adhering steadily to our principle, should not object to it. But the persons most favourable to this arrangement declare, that it would at all events be extremely difficult, and that it would not be possible, unless the Count de Montemoliu would consent to renounce his pretensions to the throne, acknowledge Isibella as Queen, resume his rank of Infante of Spain, and, in that &erecter, present himself as a suitor for her hand. But the Count de Montemolin has not done, or shown himself disposed to do, anything of the kind. This arrangement, like the former, is therefore, for the present, impossible. Our communi cations from Madrid continually recur to the Duke de Montpensier, while overtures have been made to Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg. We dismiss both these projects, as we have done from the first moment. Our policy is perfectly frank, uniform, and con sistent. We neither choose to place a French Prince on the throne of Spain, nor to see a Prince not belonging to the house of Bourbon take possession of it. These difficulties, these impossibilities, which have successively forced themselves on the attention and the conviction of all parties, have greatly improved the chances of the sons of Don Francisco de Paula. Queen Christina and the Cabinet of Madrid seem a little less hostile to them. They are no less suitable to England than to ourselves. Let us, therefore, in concert with England, immediately enter upon the course which appears to lead to a satis factory termination of the affair. Let us order our agents at Madrid to use their united efforts to bring it about. Let the Queen of Spain marry whichever of the Infantes she may prefer.. Let the Queen her mother, and her Ministers, direct her choice according to their own discretion. Upon whichsoever of the two Princes it may fall, it will be approved in Paris and in London. This important question would thus be speedily solved ; and its final solution (with the good understanding between France and England by which that solution had been brought about) would be of infinitely greater ad vantage to the repose of Spain, and the stability of the constitutional monarchy, than any arrangement which is impossible at the present moment, and the chances of effecting which are remote and uncertain. If the English Cabinet should approve of and adopt iotu for r s u t g n g e e ti o purposen, we o f shall giving be effectready t oo t o tnne a ies c tapigonrl upon concert do n eed with et enter into any details at present. execution. understanding o pin n r th ci e pl m e Od a e n o d f w ca e r s r h y a in li g e i a t s i i n ly cotoexmee to SECTION 3. We published, on Thursday and Friday, the dispatches of Lord Palmerston and M. Guizot on this subject. We now subjoin the annexes, also presented to the French Chamber by the Foreign Minister of France:— Whatever be the causes, the fact, that the difficulties of the marriage between one of the descendants 9f Philip V. and Queen Isabella are greatly aggravated, is incontestable. land, and an indication of what the policy of the French Government would be under the emergency.

M. G uizot tLere fore transmits, by command of the King of the French, a copy of the protest of France (No. 8), instructing Count de St. Aulaire to read it to Lord Palmerston, and leave with his Lordship a copy." And, at the same time, great and redoubled efforts are at this moment making to bring about a marriage be tween the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg and either Queen Isabella or the Infanta Donna Fernanda. The Court of Lisbon is the eentre of these efforts. This is obvious from the tenor of private letters, and of the Portuguese and Spanish journals. It is affirmed that Prince Leopold of Coburg. who was to leave Lisbon on the 24th of February for Cadiz, Gibraltar, Algiers, Malta, and Italy, will proceed secretly or openly to Madrid. This report is corroborated by many circumstances. M. GUIZOT TO THE DUKE DE OLUCKSBERG. PRIVATE.---(EXTRACT.) Paris, Nov. 11, 1843. Without doubt, the Neapolitan alliance would be per fc ctly agreeable to our views, and we shall neglect nothing that'ean contribute to bring it about; but this exult depends, as you know perfectly well, on its ap pearing to originate naturally in Spain itself, instead of being introduced as a foreign importation. We have taken great pains to induce the King of Naples to recog nite the title of Queen Isabella, because we wish that the alliance in question were possible, consistently with the dignity of the Queen and the Spanish nation, and that a greater latitude were thus left to their choice. We are sincerely glad that we have succeeded, but it is for Spain alone to determine which, among the descendants of Philip V., is the most acceptable to her; and we shall not quit the ground we have taken up from the first. To that, therefore, you will conform your language. We do not wish to show any hostility to the marriage of the Queen with the Duke of Caeiz or the Duke of Sevill2, nor to place ourselves in such a position with regard to either of those alliances that we should have the air of being defeated if it took place. Either would be included within the rule we have laid down, and has many chances in its favour. The interests of France have nothing to fear from it. While, therefore, we in sist on the advantages which would result to Spain her self from the Neapolitan alliance, and endeavour to strengthen all its natural means of success, we must make known that an alliance with the son of Don Fran ciso de Paula will not only not encounter any opposition from us, but will find us well disposed towards it. MR. WARD, M.P., AT SHEFFIELD SH EFFIE LI), TH lIIISDAY. -Mr. Ward, 111.1. ) ., the Secretary to the Admiralty, made his annual address to his constitu ents yesterday, at the Cutlers' Hall, on which occasion the chair was occupied by Alderman Dunn. The acceptance of office by the Hon. Member under the present Goverment gave to his present address a more than ordinary interest, and the: spacious hall was crowded to excess. The Hon. Gen tleman was accompanied by several of the leading gentlemen of the town, amongst whom were Mr. H. Wilkinson, the Mayor; Mr. S. Butcher, the late Mayor; Mr. T. B. Turton, the Master Cutler, and others. Mr. WARD, on rung, was received with loud and reiterated cheem On their subsiding, he spoke to the following effect : Mr.:Alderman Dunn and Gentlemen, time has familiarised us with these annual meetings, which have implied a recogni tion of proper principles on both sides—a proper responsibi lity on my ,part, and political power on yours. The elective franchise, which had been allowed to this constituency, and which the men of Sheffield enjoyed, had been exercised in a proper manner, and had done credit to the town. Without a recognition of these principles, these meetings would be a mere farce, though not where the constituencies choose their member on account of his own opinions, and not from the length of his purse. It also gives them an opportunity of knowing that he does not prove false to those pledges which have justified their choice. I feel this strongly, and that is the reason that I am here to day. But my position is now materially changed. When I was here on the last occasion, I stood before you an inde pendent man. I then tried to give every man a plain - - M. GUIZOT TO M. THE COUNT DE ST. AULAIRE. Paris, Nov. 13, 1843. In a conversation which passed some months ago be tween Lord Aberdeen and M. de Chabot on the subject of the Neapolitan marriage, the former expressed some fear of opposition from M. de Metternich, and some desire that, supposing the merits of the parties to be equal, we might prefer as arrangement which would not encounter that obstacle. Pray tell Lord Aberdeen that, so far from labouring exclusively to promote the Nea politan alliance, I have done, and still do, all that I can to render an alliance with one of the sons of Don Francisco de Paula more easy and more eligible. From the first moment, I informed the Infante and the In fanta that we were fully disposed to assent to and to facilitate such an alliance ; I represented to them in the strongest terms, that they did themselves the greatest injury, and rendered it impossible for us to serve them, by connecting themselves with the Radicals and all par tisans of revolution. In my conversation with M. Olo zags, I fully and cordially acquiesced in this arrange ment, regarding it, as I did, as the most probable ; and when he told me that many of the Spaniards would pre fer the younger infante, the Duke of Seville, to his brother, the Duke of Cadiz, I replied that, as far as we were concerned, the two brothers were equally eligible. A few days ago, M. Parsent requested to see we, and in the interview he had with me 1 expressed a most favor able disposition towards the Duke of Cadiz. I have neglected no occasion and no means of facilitating this arrangement, and of combating beforehand the obstacles which it may encounter, and the inconveniences it may occasion. I do not think we can go further, or that we ought to favour this alliance at the expense of all others. In lay ing down our principle of restricting the Queen's choice to the successors of Philip V., we at the same time de clared that we accepted all included in that category; and that the one who might have the preference of Spain and of its Sovereign would have our support. We can not depart from the line we have drawn, nor abridge the latitude which our own principle allows to the choice of Spain. We prevailed on the King of Naples to recog nise the title of the Queen of Spain precisely in order that this latitude might subsist in all its integrity. Lord Aberdeen knows that this arrangement was first suggested by him. We have no intention whatever to sacrifice the others to it; but neither can we, most as suredly, do anything to counteract it, after what we have done to render it possible and to leave it to the operation of its natural chances. answer to a plain question upon every point Y that has pre sented itself to your fertile imaginations. What I bad then done I was prepared to defend; and upon what I meant to do it was better that I should see you face to face in the Town Hall. On these occasions we have often discussed the affairs of the future, and quarrelled a little upon those that were past. I could then speak out with great satisfaction, and if we have ever disagreed, I must say that I have feel ings of gratitude for the kind and liberal spirit in which I have been met. But nothing which ever then occurred has prevented us from parting friends. My position, however, is now changed, and more than half my usual topics are cut off. I cannot dwell upon matters that will occur for the future, and I do hope that gentlemen will not press me with questions to which I cannot give a satisfactory reply. I have now joined a party, and the policy which they will think proper to pursue will very soon show itself through the proper quarters. I have told you I have taken office. I make no apology for that ; and Ido not disguise that office is the natural reward of political men. I could not wish to take office with a greater number of men of liberal political principles than now. I have taken office with men like Mr. Strutt, Mr. Charles Wood, and Lord Morpeth. Mr. Cobden was orthodox, and Mr. Villiers was prevented by personal reasons from accepting office. I could not, therefore, have hoped to take office with a greater combination of liberal men than now, nor with a Minister . . whose character for integrity stood so high, nor one who, in the opinion of the country, was more likely to strike out a line of policy in which all liberal men would concur. It is not mere place that I was seeking; but the offer was so large and liberal a one, that I accepted it in the same spirit in which it was offered, and I hope, therefore, it will not meet with your disapprobation, but merit your support. I have sacrificed no principle, nor do I mean to sacrifice any; but, as 1 have told you before, of the policy of the Government I am not authorised to speak. A man like myself, in a subordinate office, knows very little, and if I did know it, I could not tell you. The session begins on Tuesday next, and in the course of the year it is quite clear there must be a dissolution of Parliament. If I have acted inconsistently, you will then have the remedy in your own hands. I will not quit this subject without saving that you must not expect too much from the present Ministry. Lord John Russell's Government exists at present upon sufferance, and with a minority in the House of Commons, where the same political party exists that drove them from office in 1841, It is now, therefore, at the option of the majority to place them in any point they please. It is for the country to strengthen the hands of the Liberal Ministry, and to impart those opinions in which the public are expected to concur. I told you in the short address that I issued on accepting office, that I was sorry I could not vacate my seat, for I could not do it with a sort of Quixotism that would have been unbecoming. What I did was done voluntarily, and, as Parliament will not last long, I have had no scruples in taking office. Some men might think that I could be more useful as an indepen dent man ; but, if the Liberal men are to be always in oppo sition, you must content yourselves by forcing forward your own opinions. It has been said that the waste of private and public character which has taken place would hardly compensate for the good which has been effected by the change. The last session was a very triumphant one in 'one sense, though a very painful a one in another. A great deal was lost by the public character that was sacrificed, and it con stituted, through a long struggle, the great impediment and of Sir Robert Peel, who had lent himself too largely and inconsiderately to the illusions by which he has now been destroyed. I have no doubt that what he did was the fruit of sincere conviction, brought about in his own mind. He stood in advance of his own party; and after lie had arrived at his own conclusions, he was one of the best and ablest advocates, although not able to convince the party he had left, for their minds were incapable of conviction, and they considered themselves insulted and betrayed. I have told you of Sir Robert Peel's character year after year, and have shown you how inevitably his convictions led him fur ther, and how on the question of the Tariff and the Corn laws the Government plan was a great and comprehensive one; it should, therefore, have my most cordial support, and although it would be carried in the House of Commons, it would be rejected in the House of Lords. It was a slow and painful process to witness, and there were just grounds for just complaint, for the vessel should not have been carried into port by those who had gained their opinions only last year. These were no new principles, Sir, for they had been announced by Adam Smith, Mr. Huskisson, and others ; and to justify the change which had been forced upon him when he took the responsibility of making it, he ought to have ar rived at those opinions ten years before. I have told you that the struggle in the House of Commons was a very curious one. There were incessant changes, and they would all remember that Mr. Denison, one'of the Members for the West Riding, seconded the Address. But that gentleman had also been subject to changes, and was the first to cross the Rubicon ; and when he had crossed it, he walked back again.—(Loud laughter.) I do not know what change had come over his mind, but he showed a most marvellous agility, and became the stoutest opponent of those opinions that he had just as strongly advocated. The Protectionists, as a body, made the stoutest resistance. They had great oratorical powers, and complained of great injustice from the Minister who had so deceived them, because their own hands were clean. In fact, there were not ten men who had not agreed in the changes which Sir Robert Peel had opposed in 1842. They were willing to give up a great monopoly to save a small one, and when the change came over them, were willing to do it on a large scale. They then found out that every trade and rami fication of British industry should have been protected. Nor was this an inconsistent plea for men trying to protect their own monopoly; and when they had tried to protect the mo nopoly of everybody else, not ten times the talent which Sir Robert Peel possessed could get them to stigmatise the prin ciples which they had advocated. They had said, in effect, we do not like any monopoly but that which touches our selves. Their deserting the man whose talent had shed such a lustre on the party to which he belonged, was a climax of injustice and one to which this country ought not to be brought. I felt that there was really one of those great questions at issue which should not be degraded to a mere question of personal altercation for support. There was not a man of the free-trade party who did not give him his most cordial support for the same reason which Mr. Cobden did, nantely, that it was an instalment paid down of 17s. 6d. in the pound, with security for the remainder in 1849. If it had lasted till now, I should have given to Sir Robert Peel my most cordial support. I voted with Mr. Villiers for the abolition of the 4s. duty, because I thought it was an injustice to the land and to agriculture itself. I would not have done this to endanger the Government Bill, but I did it to affirm a principle. I will not weary you by going through the whole details of that session of Parlia ment; but it was a great triumph to principle and common sense. Some of the best speeches which had been made were delivered by men who, up to the last six months, had been the most inveterate opponents to free trade—from Mr. Goul burn and Sir George Clerk, who had been opponents during the whole of their public life. The measure was carried in the House of Commons by a majority of 87. and by the same House which, by a majority of 91, had rejected the Whig proposition six years before. In truth, it was a very marvellous change. I find, too, that I have the sympathy of a very _high Tory authority namely. the Standard, which at that time seemed to take its stand upon principle. It said, that as to the Government proposing changes in matters which the Conservative party had supported for thirty years before, it showed an obtuseness and per verseness beyond any other mortals—it showed that they were very blind in political affairs. Now, for once in a way, what the Standard says is true, and I agree with every word of it. Conservatism is not to be revived without corn, and I am afraid now that these country gentlemen will go on too fast for us. I am very curious to see what .o: proposition they will bring forward during the next and what measures Lord George Bentinck and M r. will bring forward into the field. The Corn Disra eli si Bill an d the Tariff were, in my opinion, mixed up in _y w A a ow that Bill, unaccount able to me with the Irish Coercion from first to last, I opposed. I once s upported la lifefcbiount bill, and this was the great sin of my po itica, since then I have repented, and done something both by speech and vote to diminish its those o prospects of success, in con nexion with that measure , and which Sir Robert Peel wished to carry through the House; and the Liberal Mem bers were all of opinion that they should not risk the Go vernmentmeasure by opposing a Bill of which they all ap proved. It admitted that all disorders and excesses arose from disorganization, and it contained all the stale portion of coercion which had been handed down from Lord Castle reagh and Lord Clare. The Bill was, therefore, dropped, and it gave the Government an opportunity of being beaten, for there was no other question upon which they could have been beaten than that. When the Corn Bill and Tariff were passed, there were no other questions, except the Irish Bill, upon which the Government would not have been agreed. The reduction of the sugar duties was Lord John Russell's allotted work. It was not possible for a Government which had come into power upon Lord Sandon's motion to remain in power after undoing that resolution upon which they got into power. It was natural that, with all these difficulties attending him, there should be no very ardent desire on the part of Sir Robert Peel to return to place, and he could not have died a nobler p o liti ca l death than he did die. He had conferred great benefits upon the country, and made amends for great mistakes. Do not think that he fell a sacrifice to political intrigue. There is one thing I may tell you here, namely, the only real danger to which the Corn Bill was . M. GUIZOT TO THE COUNT DE FLAHAULT• PRIVATE.- (EXTRACT.) Auteuil, July 4, 1842. The two Infantes, sons of Don Francisco de Paula, have been taken back to Spain. They were not allowed to take the natural road, that of France. We are con stantly told that no idea of marriage has anything to do with their return to Spain, and I believe, in fact, that all idea of marriage whatsoever is, for the moment, indefi nitely adjourned by the Spanish Government. But it is obvious that the Infantes have been brought back to Span in order that they may be at hand in case of need. This solution is always possible, perhaps probable, nor have we, on behalf of the interests of France, any objec tion to make it. FAMINE in IRELAND & SCOTLAND. MEASURES OF RELIEF.

GUIZOT TO COUNT BRESSON. PRIVATE.-(EXTRACT.) Passsy, Sept. 2, 1845. On my arrival here I find your letter of the 28th, You have very justly appreciated the degrees of dif ference between the marriages. It is not our intention to allow the Neapolitan one to drop. It must be supported as long as possible, provided it be not so con trary to the wishes of the Spanish people as to give rise to disorders in a country already so little sub ject to order, or cause farther distractions in a Power already so distracted. We desire, moreover, that it should be well known, and distinctly declared, that we shall do nothing to counteract tl.e favourable chances of the Duke of Seville (if such exist), for, as far as we, as Frenchmen and Bourbons are concerned, such an alliance would be perfectly satisfactory and acceptable to us. And if, in spite of our continued support, the Trappani alliance should encounter serious obstacles in Spain, and from the Spanish nation, we would use our influence in favour of the Duke of Saville, both with Queen Christina and with the Spanish Cabinet. These are our most sin cere intentions in either hypothesis. Let your conduct be in conformity with them.

GIJIZOT TO M. CASIMIR PERIER. Paris, June 23 18 Sir,—You know that, conformably t) King's or the ders, M. Pageot, who has rece ntl y returned frorn Ma drid, has been sent to London , V ienna, and Berlin, to make known there the intentions of his Majesty's Go vernment on a very important subject—the future mar riage of Isabella 11., the youthful Queen of Spain. Ido not think it equally necessary to send M. Pageot to St. Petersburgh, where this affair can inspire only a remote and feeble interest. I wish, however, that Count Nessel rode should know, through you, and with precision, the idea which will guide our conduct. That idea is so con formable to the fundamental principles and the general interests of the order of Europe, that we esteem it our duty to submit it beforehand to all the great Cabinets. It is possible that the occasion for applying it is, .as remote. Conformably with the Spanish Constitution, Queen Isabella will not attain her majority till she . is fourteen; but, according to the common law of Spain, she may be married as soon as she reac hes the age of twelve. Her marriage has been already the subject of great attention at Madrid. We are an xious that it should be universally known that we also devote our at tention to it, and that our opinions and designs respect ing it should be understood. Our policy on this subject is very simple. For the sake of the general peace and the balance of Eur o p e, we admit our French Princes being put aside as candidates for the hand of the Queen of Spain. But, in return , we can admit as consort of the Que en . no Prince who does not belong to the house of Bourbon. The house has many candidates to offer,—the Princes of Naples and of Lucca, the sons of Don Carlos, or those of Don Francisco de Paula. We neither propose nor prohibit any one of them. He who may be acceptable to Spain will be ac ceptable to us, provided he be within the limits of the house of Bourbon. This is for us a French question of the highest importance. We have no right and no pre tension to impose a husband on the Queen of Spain, or to interdict one ; she is at perfect liberty to choose w hom she pleases. We have a profound respect for the inde pendence both of the Crown and the people of Spain; but we have in our turn aright to think and to say that such . or such an alliance would appear to us so contrary to the for of France, that if it took effect it would place b u . .s in a hostile pJsition with regard to Spain. de and it is certainly a very legitimate one, o our T t f h o irct, clarations, and in making it openly acting honourably towards Europe, beforehand we are a . s well as h prudentlyl. with regard to ourselves. If the choice of Philipte Queen o Spain falls on one of the descendants of V may think shall shall have nothing to say, even thaol~tunc© we that, within those limits, another alliancfe might have been more for the interest of Spain hersedl this as a con- Though I must beg you, Sir, to re . gar its contents known fidential letter, I wish you to make to M. de Nesselrode. COUNT BRESSON TO M. GUIZOT. PR IVATE. — (EXTRACT.) Madrid, June 28, 1846. I am very eager to second Mr. Bulwer in his efforts on behalf of the sons of the Infante Don Francisco, and have assured him that your instructions fully authorise me to do so. I have paid the most marked attentions to the Infante. I presented the Archbishop of Bordeaux to him; and, on rising to take leave. I took him aside and intreated him to enjoin the greatest prudence on his sons, whose chances appeared to be improving. He ex pressed to me some anxiety and some displeasure at the Duke of Seville's journey to Brussels. " Well, Mon seigneur," replied I, " write to the King to keep him at Paris. " And accordingly here is his letter. I think it is expedient for you to have at hand as many pretenders to the Queen's hand as possible. M. GUIZOT TO COUNT DE JARNAC. PRIVATE.-(EXTRACT.) Paris, Aug. 19, 1846. . .. The Infante Don Enrique falls within our rule. We perfectly admit him as a candidate for the Queen's hand. We have neither the right nor the inclination to make any objection to him. But it must be well understood, on the other hand, that the choice between the two brothers shall lie exclusively with Queen Isabella, the Queen-Mother, and her Government, and shall be per fectly free ; and that if they should prefer the Duke of Cadiz, no objection, and still less active opposition to him, will be raised by the Cabinet of London. M. GUIZOT TO M. THE COUNT DE ST. AULAIRE PRIVATE.-(EPTRACT.) Paris, March 13, 1843. Sir Robert Peel, expressing '• the decided opinion o the English Government," said in the House of Com. mons on the 9th of this month, that " Spain being in. vested with all the rights and privileges belonging to an independent state, . . . the Spanish nation, speak ing through its duly constituted organs, has the exclu sive right and power to contract such matrimonial alli ances as it may judge expedient." What is the import of this declaration? Does it really mean all that it seems to mean? Does it signify that, whatever be the matrimonial alliance which the Queen and the Legislature of Spain may think fit to contract, even were it with a French Prince, the English Govern ment would not interf ere , an d would not think itself jus tified in offering any opposition? If this is really Sir Robert Peel's meaning, we have nothing to say, and his words, taken in this sense, and with this v a l ue , would perhaps greatly simplify the situation of Spain as well as our own. But if Sir Robert Peel, while proclaiming the com plete independence of Spain as to the choice of a con sort for the Queen, still persists in excluding the French Princes, and in maintaining that England would have a right to oppose, and would in fact oppose, such a choice, the greater my respect for Sir Robert Peel's cha racter and declarations, the greater the surprise I cannot but feel. From the first moment of my touching upon the ques tion of the marriage of the Queen of Spain, I determined to use the most perfect frankness in everything I did or said on this subject. I knew what prejudices and suspi cions I should have to encounter, and I wished at once to remove all pretext for them. We have been informed, said I, that England has excluded our Princes from all competition for the hand of the Queen of Spain. We, in our turn, have excluded all Princes not belonging to the house of Bourbon. I shall not here discuss the grounds of either exclusion. Ours was made by the same right as that of England is, and founded on mo tives of the same nature. In laying this before the great Powers of Europe, in alluding to it from the tribune, I acted with good faith towards Spain, towards England, towards the whole of Europe. I wished that the policy of France on this great question should be u niversall y and distinctl y known beforehand. In fact (and any man of sense has only to reflect a moment to be convinced of this) , we have made n croachment on the independence o f S p ain by this policy. n h naticn, its Queen, its Government, and its e The Spanish Cortes, are perfectly free to do with regard to liketh this mer riage whatever they may see fit. Bu t states, risk and peril ; and their will cannot fetter that of their indi viduals, enjoy freedom of action at th eir own h - bours, who, in their turn are free to act in conformity with their own interests. A Government which pro h eeeierenrereigity sbeforehand conductclaim it w il will observe, attitude it will an assume, or such place in a neighb o uring state, commits an act of impru dence, if it is n o t f u lly re solved to maintain that attitu de, eventtakes place and to pursue th a t li ne o f conduct ; but if it is so re wha t solved, it performs an act of good faith. EMORANDUM C OMMUNICATE D ON TH E M 4Tu OF MARCH TO LORD ABERDEEN BY M. DE ST. AULAIRE. Paris, Feb. 27, 1846. SECTION 1. a sQtaheee n o ands s p o a f i o o ui is become p o l i c y The principle we have maintained, an which the Eng lish Cabinet has accepted , respecting the marriage of the one of very difficult and an application ' . The situation of the Princes, descendants_ of Phili p V., and actual or pos sible suitors for the hand of the Queen of Spain, is as follows: The Prince of Lucc a is married.T by t_ e violent expression of The position of the Count h r:appani is rendered very unfavourable; Ist, public opinion against him; 2d, by the fall of General Narvaez. 'lhe sons of the Infante Don Francisco d o P au l a are subject to grave objections; iz., Ist, the false steps they have taken; 2d, their intimacy with the Radical party, and the cons e q uent antipathy with which the y are regarded by the Moderate party ; 3d, the ill- w ill o f the Queen -Mother, and of the young Queen herself. The sons of Don Carlos are, for the present at least, out of the question; Ist, in consequence of the often and declared opposition or all parties; 2d, in conse • quence of their formal exclusion by the constitution; and 3d, of the dispositions manifested in their own conduct which is at variance w i t h any that could afford them th e ' smallest chance. with The situation of the descendants of Phi l i p V. it' relation to the marriage of the Q ueen o f Spain • is, there fore, become very unfavourable. SECTION 2. On the causes of this fact much might be said; I shall, however, only advert to two points;_. 1. We have constantly evinced favourable dispositions towards all the descendants of Philip V., without ception. We have repeatedly declared to Queen ex- Chris tina herself, that the sons of Don Franci sco do Paula would be very agreeable to us. We have done all in our power to render the choice of the sons of Don possible. If we have shown any pre Carlos preference Count of Trappani, it is because he appeared to us to nce for the have the best chance of success, in consequenc e favourable inclinations of the Queen - Mother and of the young Queen. 2. The English Cabinet has afforded efficient aid in our endeavours to bring no active and us about the alliance with the Count of Trappari. It has preserved a cold neutrality, and its inertness has left free course to all the hostile demonstrations or intrigues, whether of Spaniards or of subordinate English agents, which its frank and active co-operation would hare controlled.

M. GUIZOT TO COUNT DE JARNAC. (PRIVATE.) Val Richer, July 20, 1846. The marriage of The Queen of Spain is, at the present SECTION 4. We have been, and we shall continue to be, true to the policy which we have adopted, and to the engage ments we have entered into, respecting the marriage either of Queen Isabella or of Donna Fernando. But, it the existing state of things should continue, or should lead to any further results, we may be placed abruptly in a contingency, in which we shall be 1. Subjected to the absolute necessity of preventing our policy from receiving, by the marriage either of the Queen or the Infanta, a blow to which we could not consent to submit. 2. Released from all engage nent with respect to either marriage. Which would be the result, in case the marriage, either of the Queen or of the Infanta, with Prince Leo pold of Saxe Coburg, or with any other Prince not descended from Philip V., should become probable or imminent. In that case we should be released from all engage ment, and free to act immediately in our own defence, by demanding the hand either of the Queen or the In fanta, for the Duke de Montpensier. SECTION 5. We sincerely and fervently desire that things may not come to this extremity. We see but one way of preventing it; viz., that the English Cabinet should unite actively with us, 1. In endeavouring to restore to a position befitting a pretender to the hand of the Queen of Spain one of the descendants of Philip V., whether the Duke of Seville, the Duke of Cadiz, or the Count of Trappani, and to bring about his marriage with Queen Isabella. 2. In preventing, in the meantime, the marriage of the Infanta with P r i nce L eopo ld of Saxe Coburg', or with any other Prince not descended from Philip V. We think that this end may be attained by the active and firm co-operation of the two Cabinets. And we deem ourselves called upon in honour to forewarn the English Cabinet that, without such co-operation, we may find ourselves obliged to act, and justified in acting, in the manner I have just indicated. M. GUIZOT TO COUNT BRESSON. (PRIVATE.) Paris, Dec. 10, 1845. The basis of our policy with regard to Spain in general, and in particular on the question of the marriage of the Queen and the Infanta, is the firm desire of preventing the revival of that active rivalry, those vehement and obstinate struggles between the two principal allies of Spain, France and England, which have caused, and would again cause, so much mischief to Spain in the first place, and finally to all Europe. This policy is for the interest of Spain, as well as for that of France. Spain has now two main and predominant interests, to which all others ought to be subordinate:- 1. The interest of her domestic policy, which is, to establish her Government and her Administration; to secure her tranquillity, her prosperity, and her internal strength. 2. The interest of her foreign policy, which is, I do not hesitate to say, to form an intimate union with France, and by that means to regain her rank in Europe, while she maintains her independence and se cures her repose. With a view to these two great in terests of Spain, it is extremely desirable that all active and vehement struggles between France and England should cease. Our policy therefore is, in its general principle, no less Spanish than French ; and is in conformity with the paramount and common interest of the two countries. If, therefore, in the particular question of the marriage either of the Queen or of the Infanta, we reject every combination which might have the effect of placing France and England once more in a hostile attitude on the domain of Spanish affairs; Spain, so far from making this a subject of complaint or of offence, ought to approve our conduct, and to second it to the utmost of her power for by this conduct we must and do actually sacrifice in terest and inclination very dear to us, to the paramount and common interest of the two countries ; we disregard those iuterests and inclinations in favour of the highest and wisest (large and sound) reasons of state. This policy, however, can be practicable and successful only on the supposition that it is accepted and practised on both sides, by England as well as by France, with the same moderation and the same good faith. If then, white we are labouring to avert any combina tion, either in the marriage of the Queen or in that of the Infanta, which might revive the conflict between France and England in Spain, the other party did not act in the same manner—if, on the contrary, they made, or suf fered others to make, unresisted, any arrangement con trary to the principle we have proclaimed. viz.—that the throne of Spain should not be alienated from the de scendants of Philip V.—an arrangement which would compel us ourselves to revive the contest wo wish to allay—it is evident that we could not, and it is certain that we should not, acquiesce in the positions in which it would place us. The more closely I observe what is passing, the more firmly I am convinced that there are in and about Spain active and incessant efforts to bring about the marriage of a Prince of Saxe Coburg either with the Queen or with the Infanta. It is true the English Government employs no positive means to bring about this marriage; but it also uses none to prevent it. It does not put a peremptory veto oa every project which would place a Prince of Coburg on the throne of Spain, as we have done on our side with regard to a French Prince. On the other hand, Queen Christina and the Spanish Government wish to make use of the fear wo entertain of a Coburg marriage, in order to secure the Montpensier marriage, at the same time keeping in reserve the pos sibility of the Coburg marriage in case the Montpensier marr iage were to fail. We cannot consent to be dupes in this matter. We shall continue in perfect sincerity to pursue the policy we have announced, that, namely, of opposing every combination which might tend to rekindle the conflict between France and England with regard to Spain. But if we perceive that the conduct on the other side is not as clear and decided as cur own; if, for example, either from the inertness of the English Government, or from the exertions of its friends in Spain and around Spain, a marriage were in preparation, whether for the Queen or the Infanta, which endangered our principle (the exclusive eligibility of the descendants of Philip V.), and if that combination had a chance of succeed ing with the Spanish Government, we should immedi ately come forward without reserve, and should plainly and openly demand the preference for the Duke de Moutpensier. Such is our plan of conduct. There is nothing in it which is not perfectly consistent and upright; while, at the same time, it is effective as a means of defeating, either beforehand or at the critical moment, any scheme for bringing about the Coburg marriage, or any other. I confide the execution of it to you with perfect confi dence. Yuu are thus armed both for the present and the future. You will, lam sure, make no use of your various weapons, except in case of necessity and at the fitting moment. Maintain our policy steadily, so long as it is not rendered impossible by an attempt on the other side to bring about an arrangement contrary to our principle; and, if you find yourself reduced to that extremity, defeat such an attempt by the means I now put into your hands. Our space, unfortunately, will not allow us to pub lish the documents respecting the annexation of Cracow. They are, however, of much inferior interest to those we have already published, and the following summary e of them will probably be sufficient to satisfy the curiosity of our readers:— The communications relative to Cracow made to the French Chambers number:—No.l. —Extract are nine in of a letter from Prince Metternich to the Count d'AP pony, Austrian Minister at the Court of France, dated - e the 20th of February, 1846, in which the latter is re quested to communicate to the French Minister the fact of the military occupation of Cracow, with some of the reasons for it; and the Prince encloses a circular dis p atch, of the same date, on the same subject, and to the same effect. Nos. 2 and 3 are letters from M. Guizot to the Count de Flahault, dated the 23d of March, 1846, inwhich the former, adverting to the preceding documents, requests the Count to communicate to the Austrian Prime Minister the regret of the French Government at what had taken place, and its apprehensions that matters were in train for a serious disturbance of the Treaty of Vienna, though placing great reliance on the prudence and moderation of the Court of Vienna. No. 4.—A private note from Count Flahault to M. Guizot, dated Vienna, April 1, 1846, in which the Count says that he had received from Prince Metternich an assur ance that the occupation was a military measure die. tated by necessity, and justified by the dangerous state of the Republic, but would not be continued beyond the pressure of that danger. No. s.—Letter 3 r , 1846, fom M. Hunti - mann to M. Guizot , dated Vienna, April i mating that the Prussian Minister had given to the former assurances similar to those received by Count Flahault from the Austrian Minister. No. 6.—A dispatch from Prince Metternich to M. de Thom (representing ember Austria at the Court of Fr ance), dated Vienna, Nov 6, announcing the annexation of Cracow to the Austrian empire, and enclosing the declaration of the three ific G a o- vern ments of Austria, Pr ussia, and Russia, in tion of that proceedi n g . The latter has appeared in all the journals, and has been extensively commented upon by the press of England and France. No. 7.—untn M. Guizot to the Cou nt de Jarnac (in the a bsence of C 1846 o de St. Aulaire) , d ated Paris, N o vember 19, , i which the French Mininister for Foreign Affairs desires the Count to lay before Lord Palmerston a copy of his speech in the Chamber of Peers on the 2cl of Juy last, as an exosition of his sentiment s on the affairs l of Po p F' Ir
