•
ful—all those acts of iniquity, oppression, and political
insanity which- have scandalized the world—the Chris-
the principal, the real cause, the efficient cause,
iian. world,--and cruelly exasperated the nation, behold
of the
last insurrection, which the excess of so In4nTevils had
rendered inevitable.
" But, as if the Revolutionists in 'their implacable fury
were not satisfied. with having wrested from the hands of
her Majesty, first the Regency of the kingdom, and then
the guardianship of her Illustrious daughters-as-if their
rage was not yet satiated by the Atitinate and cruel per-
secutionSwith which they have 'poisoned, for the last
year, the existence of her Majesty, they now perfidiously
seek to cover her with opprobrium. After having
plunged her in misfortune the Revolutionists are striving
to extort from her lips an iniquitotiS condemnation of
those who, in resisting the most odious tyranny,. have
confidently invoked her august name. In their blind
delirium they aspire to nothing less than to obtain from
her Majesty the sanction of all the acts aad all the scan-
dals of the Government of Madrid, which rekindled in
Spain extinct discords, and they wish, moreover, that her
Majesty should lay the responsibility of this new confla-
gration to the noble defenders of the laws indignantly
outraged. Their frenzy prompts them to call on her
Majesty to avow herself indirectly the accomplice of
those who have the shameful impudence of calumniating,
by charging them with regicidal projects, the men who
have courageously taken arms to deliver august and
helpless orpans from the hardest bondage.
" ller Majesty would cover herself with shame if she
were to accept so ignominious 'a position. She will
never sully her name by so black a stain. -The Queen,
as great in misfortune as she was in proiperity, may
nobly submit to suffer the most poignant trials of adver-
sity, but will never consent to enter into a compromise
regarding questions which affect her honour, such as that
of disowning generous Spaniards at a moment when
they have sealed with their blood their unshakeable loy-
alty to the throne.

Such are the intimate sentiments which the Queen
entertains at the bottom of her heart, and such is the
mature judgment which she bears on the last events of
Spain. Her Majesty directs me expressly to make this
known to your Lordship in her l'O•yal 'name, in answer
to your despatch of the 17th, in order that your Lordship
may communicate it to the Government which has accre-
dited you to the Court of Prance, it being well under-
stood that her Majesty will immediately publish the cor-
respondence, since your Lordship presumes so lightly
to inculcate the intentions of her Majesty, even in the
prudent and inoffensive silence which she has hitherto
observed. The Queen desires me to repeat to your
Lordship what ler Majesty wrote herself on the Ist of
June last to the Duke of Victory, respecting the guar-
dianship. Her Majesty, after stating that she was not
accountable for the circumstances which afflicted Spain,
that the situation of the kingdom was not her work, that
the responsibility of the evils that might follow should
not fall upon her, added these words:--
.......

"'You- may be certain that cowardly considerations
will never induce me to sanction what my reason, my
rights, and my convictions reprove, nor accept what is
repugnant to my conscience, and my duties condemn.'
This manifestation, equally applicable,, and which her
Majesty applies to the present case, ranst_eonvitice your
Lordship that it would be vain to attempt, by vexatious
menaces or calumny, to deter her Majesty from the scru-
pulous accomplishment of all her duties towards God,
towards her august daughters, and towards the Spanish
nation.

" Her Majesty desires I at the same time should tell
your Lordship, that the present writing contains the
exact and faithful meaning, the true signification of what
her Majesty said to your Lordship the last time your
Lordship had the honour of being admitted into her
Royal presence. • The Queen declares not only that the
expressions which your Lordship has made her use have
not been pronounced as reported ty your Lordship, but
that those which your Lordship has ascribed to her could
only be produced by the fallacious memory of your Lord-
Ship, who supposed her Majesty to have expressed ideas
and words which she did not utter.

"Filially, I must inform your Lordship, by express
order of the Queen, that the present communication is
the last that I shall address to you in the name of her
Majesty. " God preserve your Lordship many years,
"JOSE DEL CASTILIO Y AYENSA.

PROTEST OF THE FRINGE OF

MANTUA.

We have been requested to publish the following copy
of a Protest sent to Prince Metternich, President of the
Court of Chancellery of his Majesty the Emperor of
Austria, ezc.

" I, Prince Alexandre de Gonzaga di Mantova, Prince
of the Roman Empire, Prince of Castiglione, I)uc di
Salfcrino, Marquis di Modotc, Bte.' lineal descendant of
the Sovereign Princes, of Gonzaga di Mantova, pay alle-
giance to his Majesty the Emperor Ferdinand of Austria;
but, although I contbrm to the sentence of the Diet of
Ratisbon, pronounced in 1708 against the'lasi Sovereign
Prince Ferdinando Carlo de Gonzago, Due di Mantova
et di Montferrat, &c.,

I protest against the legality of the agreement by
which Prince Luigi di Gonzaga, who was born at Venice
in 1745, and died at "Vienna 10th of September, 1819,
renounced the principality of Castiglione, the Duchy of
Salferino, and the Marquisate of Mcdote, in favour of
the Empress Maria Theresa, for the annual sum of ten
thousand florins.

" 1. Because hereditary possessions cannot be ceded
under any condition, without the consent of the next
nearest heirs.

"2. Because Prince Luigi di Gonzaga knew perfectly
well that the lineal descendants of his great grandfather
Prince Ferdinand VI. de Gonzaga, Prince di Casti-
glione, were still living in Spain, and that consequently
the concurrence of the younger branch of the Prince de
Gonzaga di Vescovado in this.affhir was illegal; and
"3. Because the marriage of the grandfather of
Prince Luigi with Anna Anguissala was declared null,
and by this fact alone the rights of Prince Luigi to dis-
pose of these possessions were inadmissable.

" My fathe-r, Prince Guiseppeltigi, born at Madrid,
was completely ignorant of the existence' of the
agreement between Prince Luigi de Gonzaga, his
cousin, and the Empress ; and- by the death of my
father in 1818, as well as of Prince Luigi in 1819,
I became the head of the family, andJ I demand,
as lineal descendant of the Princes di Castiglione
to be reinstated in my possessions of Castiglione, Sal-
ferino, and Medote, arid to have my claims examined
by the next Diet of Sovereigns which may be held, or
by. Congress; also that his Majesty the Emperor of Aus-
tria, whose justice is well known, would be pleased to
accept my allegiance, and deign to confirm me, as my
ancestors, in the hereditary privileges of the Princes of
Castiglione, &c.

"I renew my written declaration to the Minister of
Police at Vienna, dated the 13th May, 1837, against the
person who forged my signature to a paper stating my
decision not to again enter Austria. I protest that I
have never either road or seen that paper, and that I
could not have attached my signature to such an act of
stupidity at a moment when family affairs required my
presence at Vienna.

" These protests are signed and sealed by me,
" PRINCE ALEXANDER DE GONZAGA, &c.
" Done at Baden-Baden, Oct. 12, 1841."

EFFECTS OF A SUCCESSFUL LAW-SUIT,
Mr. Carter, Coroner for Surrey, held'-an inquest on
Tuesday morning at the Fox, Castle-street, Southwark-
bridge-road, on the body of Mr. H. Frankhum, hatter,
aged thirty-one. Mr. G. Almond said deceased waa his
eh
brother-in-law, a hat manufacturer, of Nos. 9 and 10,
Castle-lane. Witness saw deceased lask„alive, together
with his wife, at their residence on Saturday evening
last, and
befor e
parted,
eeyasedand witness. Next morning, altercation took
awistlnig
about two o'clock, witness, who lived next door, was
place
between
deceased
alarmed by hearing his sister, Mrs. Frankhum, scream-
ing, and crying out that her husband had hanged himself
in the factory. Witness instantly proceeded thither, and
there, on the floor, he saw deceased lying,dead, and over
him, fastened to a beam, a piece of kope, from which
deceased's wife had just extricated him. Mrs: Frankhum
was induced to enter the factory, in consequence of de-
ceased having delayed going to bed. B
the Coroner—
Deceased had had a law-suit lately, but though he gained
it, the expense entailed was so great, that hd'derived no
advantage from his success. His circumstances were
much embarrassed, and his conduct, which latterly had
been very strange, witness attributed to losses in busi-
ness, and the expense attendant on the law-suit. Mr.
lleyton, a solicitor, who called on Friday last on de-
ceased, to examine his accounts, and try and arrange
with his creditors, found deceased at intervals so melan-
choly, that he considered him of, unsound mind. Ver-
dict—Temporary insanity.
