CONSPIRACIES AGAINST THE EMPEROR
OF THE FRENCH.
THE conspiracy of a certain number of Italians
against tho life of the Emperor, to which I alluded
some days ago, seems to be marked by a more
serious character than was originally supposed. The
persons taken into custody are also more numerous ;
successive arrests, either in consequence of disclo-
sures made by accomplices or obtained from papers
found at their lodgings, have increased the number
from three to twenty-one ; I doubt whether it will
rest here. They belong to the same school as
Pianori, and their object is the same. They are
also said to be connected with the conspirators
arrested iu Genoa, who proposed to proclaim the
Republic in that city.—The Times (s:cund edition,
Friday).

The Chamber of Deputies at Turin, in its sitting
of the 29th ult., voted the bill for piercing a tunnel
through Mount Cenis by a majority of 98 to 28.
The Senate was engaged in the discussion of the
bill for transferring the maritime arsenals to La
Spezia.

Official accounts have been received from Athens
announcing the nomination of General Kalergi as
Minister Plenipotentiary to Paris. Private letters
from the same city speak of the increased interest
attached to the question of the succession, in conse•
quence of the visit of the Queen to Germany. Her
Majesty, it is well known, gives her entire support to
her brother, the Prince of Oldenburg.

THE CONDE DE MONTEMOLIN AND THE
QUEEN OF SPAIN.
A LETTER in the Gazette de Lyons of the 15th June
contains a contradiction of the reported reconcilia-
tion of the Spanish Bourbon family. The letter is
signed by the Chevalier e Lumley Woodyear, dated
Naples, 14th June, 1557, and remarks :
On the authority of certain ill-informed ccrrespondent
at Madrid several of the English papers have announce(
under the title—

of the Royal House of the Spanish
Bourbons,"
that the Count de Montemolin has acknowledged the pre-
tended tights of Isabelle.
I am authorised formally to give the lie to these absurd
r.tmours, set on tot, no doubt, with the view of galva-
n sing the Government of Madrid, and of giving it a
momentary vigour.

M. Lumley Woodyear, states that though the Conde
may have tried evelything that " honour may permit
to bring within right principles " a family reconcilia-
tion, denies as " absolutely 'also " thnt such a step as
would havo been a 44..611 of the principle of legiti-
macy, has been entertained :
And (adds the writer) that is easily understood, when,
independently of the strength of this principle, which rests
on the fundamental lass id the Iberian monarchy, men
belonging to the different revolutionary sections have not
been able to rtfuae the n cognition, at 'east in principle, of
the legitimacy of the rights of Charles V. and his funnily.
10 fact, did not M. Martinez de la Rosa declare, in Iti:3l,
that the power of Isabella did not rest upon a right, but
exclusively on the natural belongings of revolution ? At a
later period, did not General Prim say diet there did not
exist any right, speaking absolutely, outside of a revolu
tionary right, but that of Don Carlos and his children ? In
kte, did not M. Olozaga exclaim, in the Session of the
