on the nomination of a peer. The letter to the King,

derce in its favour but the reiterated affirmation of M.

stitute an inquiry into the truth of the charges, or to

In the Chamber of Peers on Saturday the petition
of the Spanish bondholders was ordered to be
referred to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This is

creditors of the Spanish Government. In the
Chamber of Deputies the Ministry consented that
the petition of Prince JEROME BONAPARTE, ex-King
of Westphalia, should be referred to the President of
the Council arid the Council of Ministers. The Mi-
nister of Public Works, in consenting to this refe-
rence, intimated that the Government had no objec-
tion to the return to France of the last surviving
brother of the EMPEROR.
