LOUIS PHILIPPE.

In the American papers received on Friday last we find the
copy of a letter written a few weeks since by the King of the
French, in answer to some questions put to him by an humble
citizen of the United States relative to the course of life pu--
sued by his Majesty during a portion of the time he pass,d in
that country, upon which sulject many erron,ous statements
had, it seems, acquired publicity. It a.; follows

_ . .
sI St. Cloud, Aug. 26, 1837.
" Sir—l have received your kind letter of the 16:h of June
last, and I readily comply with your request to answer in my
own hand your obliging inquiries.
" During my residence in the United States I never went
by any other than my own name of Orleans. I have known
Mr. Peter Guerrier in Philadelphia, and, later, in the Havan-
nalt, but since that time, in 1799, I have never heard of him,
and I am totally ignorant of what may have been his fate.
" I cannot. believe that he ever attempted to pass himself off
fur rne, but of this I am certain, that I never assumed his name,
nor attempted to pass myself off for him.
" I believe I never went to Haddonfield, but I am positive
that I never lodged or boarded there at your father's house or
any other. It is now so long, about forty years, since I was in
Philadelphia that my recollections arc become confused • but
I believe I dined there one in company with a member of the
Society of Friends whose name was Redman, at the house of
another member of the same Society whose name was, I be-
lieve, John Elliott, and to whom 1 had been introduced by
Mr. Guerrier.
" 'regret, Sir, to be unable to give you more complete infor-
mation in answer to your inquiries ; and I must add that I highly
value the favourable opinion entertained of me in the United
States, and I thank you for having expressed it in a manner
so gratifying to my feelings.
" I remain, dear Sir,
" Your most sincere Friend,
(Signed) " LOUIS PHILIPPE.
" John Evans Redman,- Esq., Philadelphia."
Tho subjoined remarks by the Editor of the paper in which
the above letter-first appeared (the Philadelphia Gazette) ac-
company it _ _

" The original, which was sent to us for examination, is in
a fine flowing hand,- remarkably free h its compass, and plain
to read. the signature is handsome and bold, with certain
flourishes at the close, which indicate till Monarch and the
French Man. The seal is surmounted by the crown, with the
initials L. P.' in the old English black letter.".
