EP ANKE'S HISTORY of the REFORMA-

THE SPANISH MARRIAGES.
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:—
M. GUIZOT TO THE DUKE DE GLUCKSBERG.

PRIVATE.--(EXTRACT.)
Paris, Nov. 11 1843.

Without doubt, the Neapolitan alliance would be per-
fectly- agreeable to our views, and we shall neglect
nothing that can contribute to bring it about; but this
result 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-
nise 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 Cadiz or the Duke of
Sevilla, 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.

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 an 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
ft
ah

at he
de Itno
Francisco de Paula more easy and more eligible. From
faanstesenantdtotahnedlnto-
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 me, 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 cam
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
sugg, sted 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.

M. 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 further distractions in a Power
olroodJ 0. alaki.uLed. We Uestre, inuirotui, (Aiat,
it should be well known, and distinctly declared, that we
shall do nothing to counteract the 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 Seville, 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.

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, THE CUR-
TAIN addresses itself more peculiarly to three classes :-
1. 10 me Lover 01 Ille Lruiva, tak "it IL.• •
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 dissetnination of their announcements,
and afford the most unwonted facilities, inasmuch as, independent
of its general circulation, THE 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.

COUNT BRESSON TO M. GUIZOT.
PRIVATE.—EXTRACT.)
Madrid, June 28, 1846.
I am very eager to second Mr. Bulwer in his efforts
OD 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.

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 Corn,
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 interfere, and 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 value, 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. 1 wished that the policy of France on this
great

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING SUN, JANUARY 16, 1847.

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
p3rfectly right in affirming that we should approve of
the 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 Queen, 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 the suggestion of Lord Aberdeen) was, that he
was, at that time, the one of the descendants 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
principle 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 almost denies having thought of him.
The Infantes, sons of Don Carlos, and especially the
Count de Montemolin, 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 Isabella as Queen, resume his rank of
Infante of Spain, and, in that character, present himself
as a suitor for her hand. But the Count de Montemolin
has not done, or shown himself disposed to' o, 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
owu discretion. Upon whichsoever of the two Princes

►SECTION 3.

Whatever be the causes, the fact, that the difficulties
of the marriage between one of the descendants of
Philip V. and Queen Isabella are greatly aggravated, is
incontestable.

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.

it may fall, it will be approved in ParisandinLOii&.
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
our suggestion, we shall be ready to act in concert with
it for the purpose of giving effect to this policy. Ido not
enter into any details at present. Once agreed upon the
principle, and we shall easily come to an understanding
on the mode of carrying it into execution.

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.

Extract of a dispatch from Lord Palmerston to Lord
Normanby, of August 22, 1846, communicated by Lord
Normanby to M. Guizot August 28 :
" Don Enrique is the only Spanish Prince who is fit by
his personal qualities to become the husband of the
Queen of Spain."

M. GUIZOT TO M. CASIMIR PERIER.
Paris, June 23, 1842.
Sir,—You know that, conformably to the King's or
ders, M. Pageot, who has recently returned from Ma.
drid, has been sent to London, Vienna, and Berlin, to
make known there the intentions of his Majesty's Go-
vernment on a very important subject—the tnture mar-
riage of Isabella 11., the youthful Queen of Spain. I do
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, a 3 yet,
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 reaches the age of
twelve. Her marriage has been already the subject of
great attention at Madrid. We are anxious 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 Europe, 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 Queen 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 lion 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 re-
tension to impose a husband on the Queen of Spain, or to
interdict one ; she is at perfect liberty to choose whom
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 suci.o.
such an alliance would appear to us so contrary to the
terests of France, that if it took effect it wouldi phaecoeht!secitn

MEMORANDUNI COMNIUNICAABERDEENTED ON THE
4TH OF MARCH TO LOUD
M DE ST. AULAIRE.
Paris, Feb. 27,1846.

SECTION 1.
The principle we have maintained, and which the Eng_
fish Cabinet has accepted, as the basis of our policy
respecting the marriage of the Queen of
Spain, is become
one of very difficult and uncertain application.
. the Princes, descendants of Philip
V., situation of
hand of the
V., and actual or possible suitors for the
Queen of Spain, is as follows:7
The Prince of Lucca, is married.
The position of the Count of Trappani is rendered

public opinion against him; 2d,

are regarded by the the ill-will of
and of the young
the Queen-Mother,
The sons of Don Carlosin are, for the present at least,
out of the question; Ist, conseq
115 e
uence of the often
and declared opposition of all parties; 2d, in co
quence of their formal exclusion by the constitution; and
3d, of the dispositions manifested in their own conduct,
which is
at
variance with any that could afford thethem
m
smallest chance.
The situation of the descendants of Philip V. with
relation to the marriage of the Queen ~,, iSpain 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 ex-
ception. We have repeatedly declared to Queen Chris-
tina herself, that the sons of Don Francisco de Paula
would be very agreeable to us. We have done all in our
power to render the choice of the sons of Don Carlos
possible. If we have shown any preference for the
it is because he appeared to us to
Count of Trappani,
have the best chance of success, in consequence of the
favourable inclinations of the Queen-Mother and of the
young Queen.
2. The English Cabinet has afforded us no active and
efficient aid in our endeavours to bring about the alliance
with the Count of Trappani. 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 have controlled.
