of the detestable policy of The system. Let us exa-
mine what they dare to avow before Europe. Here
is a Ministry which pardons all past offences, and
which opens the gates of the country to all exiles
without exception—it is the English party. This
Ministry wishes to re-establish trial by jury—it is the
English party. It is desirous of re-organizing the national
militia—it is the English party. It wishes to recom-
pense ancient but unrequited services, to utilitise the
national property for the public advantage—to estab-
lish the system of taxation on a reasonable basis—to
give an impulse to manufactures, and to govern, in
fine, on constitutional principles. It is the English
party—the English party ! It was consequently the
French party which willed and which accomplished
the contrary ! And why ? How has the name of
France become associated with a band of violent
partisans of the retrograde system, who, after having
possessed themselves of the Government by a stra-
tagem, maintained themselves in power solely by in-
trigue and violence—with that band which effaced
from the constitution the dogma of the national
sovereignty, dislocated the municipal councils, dis-
solved the National Guard, suppressed trial by
jury—with that band which governed by mul-
tiplying proscriptions, by shedding blood, by organis-
ing arbitrary measures? Are these French ideas?
Does our country sympathise with those
gamblers on the Stock Exchange—with those
plunderers of the public treasury—with those great
Ministers who boasted of having nobly governed be-
cause they caused their opponents to be shot without
mercy ? What is your miserable party in Spain ?
You may judge of it by your friends and allies in
Switzerland or in Italy, whenever the people contend
for the establishment of their nationality. It is the
party of a factious minority in Switzerland—it is the
Austrian party in Italy. And because the policy of
M. Guizot affords aid to all those who publicly or
secretly contend against the aspirations of the people,
our nation is compelled to follow in his track, and to
accept his hatred or his sympathy, and that she
should suffer herself to be identified by a foreign
Ministry with a Government unworthy of it. We
said and repeated this a thousand times, when speak-
ing of Spain. There, more than elsewhere, the bonds
of union with the Peninsula are easy and natural,
but they have been broken in order to promote a
family interest. The Progressistas by their ideas and
their principles belong essentially to that modern
France which derives its name and its force from our
two revolutions. It is because they are directly in
the road that our blockhead system has stumbled
against them. How could it see a fair system
flourish beyond the Pyrenees ? It was impossible
that it should not have used every effort to sow dis-
order, to take the renegades under its protection, to
enrol Christina as a model of virtue, and Narvaez as
an angel of constitutional mildness. It was necessary
to efface the last vestige of liberty, to prepare those
famous marriages, and to cause it to be believed that
Spain joyfully consented.
The Union illonarchique says " An officer, for-
merly holding a high position in the army of
NARVAEZ, arrived at Malmaison on Thursday, with
private dispatches for Queen CHRISTINA. Immedi-
ately after this officer went with her to St. Cloud,
where Genaral CRUX and M. ZEA. BERMUDEZ were
invited to attend."

In the same paper we find the following :
" It has been rumoured for some days that a sort
of solution has been given to the Spanish question, by
means of a modification of the existing law of succes-
sion to the throne of Spain, which is contrary to the
monarchical principle. We have obtained on the sub-
ject the following information, which we regard as
accurate :

" The men in the confidence of Queen Isabella are
positively agreed with Lord Palmerston respecting
the question of succession. Diplomatic negotia-
tions have been entered into for that object
between the Cabinet of London and the inti-
mate advisers of the Court of Madrid. Lord
Palmerston demonstrated that the abolition of
the Salic law in Spain was calculated to compro-
mise at present, as well as in future, the peace of
Europe, and that it was most desirable that the pre-
sent law of succession be constitutionally modified, so
as to replace the crown of Spain under the empire of
the Salic law. Those overtures were favourably re-
'ceived at Madrid, and it has been decided that the
Cortes about to assemble should be immediately
called upon to regulate the question of the succes-
sion. It will be stated in the new law that, if Queen
Isabella shall die without male issue, the crown shall
devolve upon her uncle Don Francisco de Paula, or
on his descendants in the male line, to the exclusion
of his daughters, which would constitute a return
to the Salic law. Matters having been so far settled,
a semi-confidential overture was made to the Duke
de Broglie. The latter replied that if those modi-
fications were regularly introduced into the law
by the public powers, his Government would not
object to them, but he observed that, at the time of
the abolition of the Salic law by King Ferdinand the
Seventh, the Duke of Orleans, as chief of the younger
branch of the House of France, had thought proper
to protest and reserve the contingent rights of his
family, and that in all probability the Duchess de
Montpensier would do the same. The reply to that
objection of the Duke de Broglie was, that such a
domonstration would be considered as altogether in-
applicable and unavailable.
" The above facts were partly the cause of the
Duke's sudden arrival in Paris, and they have since
been the constant subject of deliberation at St. Cloud
and in the residence of Queen Christina. We can
add, that the departure of Narvaez for Spain was
connected with that affair, and that he had been in-
structed to combat these projects and elude their con-
sequences."
An accident, which might have been attended with
serious consequences to the Duke DE NEMOURS, oc-
curred on Friday, at Compeigne. The Duke was
out shooting with his brother, the Prince DE JOIN..
VILLE, and the Prince, in aiming at a covey of game,
hit the Duke DE NEMOURS in the head. His hat was
riddled with shot, and he received the whole charge
among his hair. One grain of shot struck him in the
face near the eye, and penetrated the flesh.

The Count DE SEGUR has been dispatched on a
special mission to Prussia.
M. GARNIER DE CASSAGNA C, late editor of the
Epoque, the man who was stigmatized by a Judge
from the bench, on the late trial of D'ECQUEVILLY,
as unworthy of credit—the man who attempted in
that trial to bully one of the witnesses into a sup-
pression of the truth—the coadjutor and friend of DE
BEAUvALLoN and D'ECQUEVILLY—the man who was
accused from the tribune by M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN
of having undertaken to procure the passing of a law
through the Chambers for a heavy bribe—the noto-
rious GARNIER DE CASSAGNAC has, it is said been dis-
patched by the Government on a secret mission to Italy.
We can scarcely believe that even M. GUIZOT would
venture to offer such an insult to the public feeling of
France ; if the appointment has taken place, we can
guess at the nature of the mission from the character
of the agent.

DEATH OF HER SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCESS
HOHENZOLLERN-HECIIINGEN.— We have to record the
decease of the reigning Princess Eugenie of Hohenzol-
lern-liechingen, who died on the Ist instant at Frenden-
stadt, the capital of the principality. Her Serene high-
ness was second daughter of the late Duke of Leuchten-
berg, and was born on the 23d of December, 1808, and
married the Prince Frederick of Hohenzollern-Hech-
ingen on the 22d of May, 1826, by whom she leaves no
issue.

Viscountess Palmerston, who came to town on
Thursday from visiting Lord and Lady Ashley at Ryde,
Isle of Wight, left town on Saturday for Brocket•hall,
Hens, to join the circle visiting Viscount Melbourne.
Lord and Lady 13w:turale have arrived at Brocket
from Derbyshire. Viscount Palrcerston is expected to
arrive at the family residence on Monday next from
Scotland.
The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and the

THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT'S lIOUNDS.—We regret
to learn that this establishment is to be given up, at any
rate for this season, in consequence of his Grace being
about to go abroad. The hunters are announced for
sale at Tattersall's on the 20th.—Bath Journal.
A WOODEN-LEGGED DANCER.—At Portobello-
gardens, Mr. Faßalite, an old soldier with a wooden leg,
made his first appearance as a dancer on Wednesday
evening. The veteran, who has been in nineteen general
engagements, lost his left leg in the defence of his
country when serving in the 40th regimcnt. His extra-
ordinary performance brought forth rapturous applause,
and by request he performs again before Prince George
of Cambridge.—Galway Vindicator.
