`would have preferred waiting for this birth had it not
been proved to me that the consequence
this marriage and
of this delay
wooli be to cause the failure bo hof
the Insrriage of the Queen with the Duke of Cadiz, to
continue in Spain that state of uncertainty and agitation
which was so Lull of danger, and finally to render not
only possible, but probable, and a.
lmost inevitable, those
combinations which would have given Queen Isabella in
marriage either to Prince Leopold of Coburg, or to
sore other prince unallied to the descendants of Philip
V., in opposition to the policy I had constantly an-
nounced and practised, and to the arrangements agreed
upon between the English Government itself and my own.
" Under the present circumstances, my dear, good
Louise, it is for Queen Victoria and her Ministers to
weigh the consequences of the steps they intend to take,
and the line of conduct they mean to pursue. On our
side this double marriage will effect in us no other
change than such as we may be constrained to adopt by
the new line which the English Government may think
fit to take up. There is no reason to fear any interfer
ence on our part in the internal affairs of Spain. We
have no interest in interference; and we are most de
oidedly determined to abstain from any. We shall con-
tinue religiously t‘i respect its independence, end to take
care, as far as depends upon ourselves, that it is as much
respected by the other Powers. We can see no
interest and no motive, either on the part of England or
our own, for a rupture of our entente cordiale—and we
see, on the contrary, the strongest for its maintenance.
Such is my desire--such is that of my GcrJrnment.
That which I request you to expre‘s on my behalf to
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is, that they should
preserve me in their heart that friendship and confidence
to which it has been ever so agreeable to me to re, pond
with the sincerest reciprocity, and which I have the
anxious conviction never to have ceased to merit on
their part."
