seen reverses of fortune. We trust it will meet with
general approbation.

In the Morning rod of this day we find the fol-
lowing statement :—" We some time ago infoniacd
Our readers that a discussion was in psogeSs, upon the
subject of an establishment rot- the Princess VreTotti A
and that the final edjiistment had been ietaided by a
difference of opinion as tb the nntltbniy by which the
superior officers of 014 tiGnseliold of the Heiress „--re-
sumptive ought,
„ryes, . nS tlase
sine ° was com.rroesinleci ks
to be an--::,‘tski, it
in the frilly 'patriotic and parentel desire to remove
t.'s-tty difficulty, had liiis4„,p'Osed to appropriate to the
establishment 'a her Royal Highness 10,000 L year
from Ms own privy purse, krepinoe, the appointments
in question under his OWn personal eohtroo.l; but we
withheld this announcement in the hope that it would
Ilak't been in our power tO accompany it by the ea..
tirving statement that the offer of this ,'_iatritice on the
part of the KING had been sitetessrul in the attainment
of its object. We ftgret to say that our expecta-
tion has not been realised. Up to a very recent
period the discussion still continued t and we un-
derstand that the Princess IrWtiattlA, since her
Royal Highness's birthday> has taken some personal
share in it. We are informed, and believe, that
several letters upon the subject have passed he=
tweert the SOVEREIGN and his illustrious niece."
We believe the Morning Post enjoys the confidence
of the party to which it is attached, and, therefore,
though we arc not prepared to corroborate the above
statement, we should not feel ourselves justified in de-
nying it. We shall therefore assume on the credit of
our Contemporary, that what it has thought proper to
communicate to the public on this delicate subject is
true. We ask, then, what is it that calls for
the personal interference of the KING, in the
appointment of the Officers of the Princess's
Household ? If it is proper that the Heiress
Presumptive should have a separate establishment, it
surely is not because she stands in a new relation to
the SOVEREIGN (which she does not), but because she
has entered upon a new relation to the country. It is
therefore impossible that the nation should allow the
burden of supporting the Princess to fall upon the
KING'S private resources. The expense of keeping
up the rank and station of the Heiress Presumptive,
if any such expellee is to be incurred, must, it is suffi-
ciently evident, be defrayed out of the national funds ;
and we are quite sure that whenever the demand shall
be made, the people will not grudge to the Princess
VICTORIA a maintenance befitting her position in
the State. As to any personal control, on the part of
his MAJESTY over the Princess, it is no less evident
that such control can only relate to private matters,
and cannot possibly extend to those things in which her
Royal Highness Is concerned in her public capacity
as Heiress Presumptive to the Throne. In that ca-
pacity she is entirely exempted from all personal
eontroul, and acknowledges no restrictions but such as
the Constitution imposes through itsofficial organs, the
advisers of the Crown. We come, therefore, to this
point, that the Princess must either remain as she is, in
stain pupillari ; or if she assumes a public place in the
State, her Royal Highness must be independent of all
personal controul. It must, we think, strike every
reflecting person as singularly inconsistent that the
person who is capable of entering upon the duties of
Royalty, and of choosing, of course, the Ministers
in whose hands the destinies of the nation are
placed, should be considered incapable of exercising
any voice in the appointment of the officers of
her own personal household. We do not say that her
Royal Highness is to act without advice in such a
case ; what we contend for is, that the advisers of the
Crown, not the relatives of the Princess, are the con-
stitutional advisers of the Heiress Presumptive.
The whole of this matter is founded in faction.
The Tories have long been grieved that they have not
had the moulding of the Princess VICTORIA'S cha-
racter. 'What they wanted was to have instilled into
her mind the narrow, exclusive, and tyrannical prin-
ciples of GEORGE 111. and his successor. Their fu-
ture
QUEEN, they hoped, was to be the Sovereign of a
sect, the ruler of a small portion of the nation. In this they
have been disappointed, and hence the brutal attacks
to which the Duchess of KENT, that most exemplary
of mothers, has been subjected from the more unprin-
cipled organs of Toryism, for having instilled into
the mind of the future occupant of the British
throne, principles more constitutional, more in unison
with the spirit of the age, and therefore better adapted
to the government of a free and enlightened people.
To surround the Princess with their own creatures who
might exercise a counteracting influence on her mind,
and undo as much as possible the good that has been
already done is now the object of this faction ; and they
have with their usual unscruplousness, by means of that
back-stair influence which has unfortunately always
been in their hands, attempted to drag the highest per-
sonage in the realm into unconscious participation in
this scheme. Such baseness is without example.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and Sa-
turday have been received. The Moniteur of Satur-
day contains the following telegraphic despatches :-
13ATONNE, JUNE 1, HALF-PAST 7, P.m.--Don Carlos en-
tered Barbastro on the evening of the 27th, and his army in
the morning of the next day. On the 29th Oraa left Sara-
gossa to take the command of the Christino army. Baron de
Meer has advanced to Fraga to cover the Ebro."
" Naafi()NNE, JUNE 2, FIVE, A. the 28th Baron de
Meer left Lerida, marching into Arragon. It was not known
on the 30th at La Seu d'Urgel where Don Carlos was. Or -
gagna ha% ing been evacuated, was occupied on the 29th by the
rebels. Rogo had his head-quarters on the 31st at Prullens ;
the Carlists pretend that they remain in these parts only be.
cause their movements are connected with those of the army
of Don Sebastian. The Carlist Junta was at Sulsona, on
the 25th."

" BORDEAUX, JUNE 2, HALF-PAST 6, P m.—The Carlists
were still at Barbastro on the evening of the 28th, and the
Christinos, under the orders of Buerens, at two leagues from
that town. Oraa, who left Sarragossa to take the command,
had with him one battalion and 300 cavalry."
The following communication was received by the
Government after the publication of the Moniteur:—
" PERPIGNAN, JUNE 2.—Twenty persons, who were ar-
rested on the 23d of May, have been shipped off from Barce-
lona for the Balearic Islands ; amongst them was the refugee
Bonelli. New plots and depots of arms have been discovered,
and arrests have taken place.
" The Brigadier Cardo is organising at Asparagucra a corps
of reserve.

" Baron de Moor has declared Cervera to be in a state of
siege in consequence of the violence of certain parties. Be-
fore starting for the province of Arragon, Baron de Meer had
collected 7,000 men."

There is little else of any moment in these journals.
The King of the FRENCH and the Royal Family were
to leave Fontainbleau for Paris on Sunday (yesterday).
The following extracts include all that is interesting in
them :

The payment promised by the Spanish Government to its
creditors had not been made on the Ist inst., as promised. In
lieu of payment, Count Campuzano (the Ambassador of Spain
at Paris) issued the following notice to the holders of Spanish
bonds :

" The Spanish Government, in spite of all its efforts, and
by a concurrence of circumstances which are of public noto-
riety, is as yet unable to obtain all the necessary funds for the
payment of the dividend of the month of November last, which
should have taken place on the Ist of June. It hopes, never-
theless, to be able, after a short delay, to announce the pay-
ment. A fresh notice will fix the day.
" CAPUZANO DE RECHEN."
The Marquis de Latour M
Maubourg (Freerh Ambassador at
Rome) died in that city on the 23d ult.
The reception of the guests at Fontainbleau was conducted
with extreme formalities, and the most rigid court etiquette.
To such an extent was this rage for ceremony carried, that
when M. Laffitte presented himself with the coat he wore on
the ith of August, the day on which, as President of the
Chamber, he proclaimed Louis Philippe King of the French,
and received his oath to the charter of 1830, he was rudely
pushed back by the Grand Master of the Palace, who ap-
peared quite indignant at M. Laffitte's daring to present him-
self in an unembroidered garment ! The Hon. Deputy re-
monstrated, and appealing from the rigour of the courtier to
the good nature of the master, the citizen coat of M. Laffitte
was " amnestied," and the gilded doors turned upon their
hinges, to admit the old Premier of Louis Philippe.—. Gazette
