THE DEATH OF THE KING OF THE
BELGIANS.
BRUSSEL% Dec. 13.
The Moniteur Beige of this morning says :—" A
journal in this city has published what purported
to be the text of a telegram of the Emperor Na-
poleon to the Duke of Brabant. This publication
--although reproducing the friendly meaning of the
Emperor's telegram—was not the real text. The
Duke de Brabant received a telegraphic despatch
expressing the greatest sympathy, but of which
etiquette forbids the publication."
The Senate has been convoked for Friday next.
Yesterday evening the mortal remains of the late
King were transported to Brussels. The crowd on
the route of the procession was enormous.
The court will go into mourning for six months
from the day of the King's decease.
PARIS, Dia. 13.
The Moniker of this morning publishes a tele-
gram, dated the 10th December, from the Duke of
Brabant to the Emperor Napoleon, and the reply
of the Emperor. The telegram of the Emperor
Napoleon is textually the same as published yes-

When the riot at Munich took place I told you,
if you remember, that it was something more than
a mere street row. The resignation which followed
of the liberal, worthy, most straightforward and
honest Minister proved the truth of my assertion
that reactionary influences were at work. The
information I now give, and on which you may
implicitly rely, completes my former communica-
tion, and shows how the King, young and inex-
perienced as be is, suffers from the tricks, intrigues,
and chicanery of a party that dreads the possibility

a
mean act, and whose strictness of prin-
ciple tnade it impossible for him to re-
nounce his opinions out of servility, or for the
sake of interest. The arrangements for calling
this man to Munich were all but settled, when aid-
denly he received the announcement that circum-
stances had formed his Majesty to change his mind.
The thing was, certain persons had made the King
believe that the man whom he so much wished to
have near him had formerly been member of a
party in Germany which they well knew the King
detested. Now the truth was, that the man in
question had over been the constant antagonist of
the said party, even to his own detriment, for, in
order to gain him over, the most brilliant offers bad
been made him, which he, honourably consistent,
had uncompromisingly rejected.
The late King, as you know, was thoroughly
German in his policy ; and as regards consti-
tutionalism, there was no country on the continent
where its principles were more honestly carried
out than in Bavaria. The present King would fain
have followed in his father's steps ; but he has
been told that such policy is quite contrary to the
