(Translation from the French.)
TO lIIS EXCELLENCY M. GUIZOT, MINISTER FOR FORF.ION
AFFAIRS TO lIIS MAJESTY THE KING" OF TfIE howcir,
AT PARIS.
Sir,—Although the policy of your actual Cabinet requires
certain concessions towards Austria, and the acquiescence of
this power in the views of France relative to the Spanish
question, may ultimately tend to :he establishment of the
°deans dynasty- in Spain ; notwithstanding these co:isil ro-
tions, and many others not less evident, I should not suppose
you would wish to render your Government responsible for a
most audacious robbery committed in my house, No. 78, Rue
St. Dominique, Fauberg St. Germain, Paris, the 27th of No-
vember, 1845 (after my having resided eight years in France),
by the French police, at the•instigation ofsome agents of the
Austrian Government, with the intention of carrying off my
passport, and all the private documents in my possession, my
birth-rights, and those of my family; also printed books, en-
gravings, • decorations, seal of my secretariat, and every
article on which the name of Gonzaga was to be' found.

to speak presently, that the sympathy of the French Govern-
ment was most entirely mine.

right is my residence violated, by a troop of persons forcing
their entry into it without my permission? By what right
is the Charte (I suppose on the laws of the constitution)
Constitutionnelle violated by an abominable attack on pri•
vate property? By what right is the honour of the French
nation outraged? What authority exists in France to put
a stop to such heinous offences, and repair such wrongs?
The Minister de l'lnterieur at Paris, to whom a complaint
was immediately addressed after the shameful attempt above
alluded to, declared himself to be in complete ignorance of
the whole affair. Even at the Prefecture of the Police, M.
Nabon de Vaux, at first extremely insolent in his expressions,
acknowledged that an agent from ';he Austrian Embassy at
Paris had been the cause of what had taken place; lie ex-
pressed his regret at so great a violation of the rights de
citoyen, and at the unjust means employed by cirrying off
the passport given and renewed by the order of the Minister
for the affairs of the interior during so many years. Indeed
he offered to return the passport, and added that all the arti-
cles seized would be restituted at the end of the week ; when,
to my surprise and indignation, I learnt that, instead of ac-
complishing this promise, a M. Monval, police-officer, had in
his possession my papers, &c., and that afterwards he was
boasting of having carte blanche for large sums of money at
his command, and a "mission (I cite his own words) de de-
monitizer le Pt ince de Gonzaga." It appears that his carte
blanche extended very far, for, disappointed at only having
carried off copies of the original documents, and only one ori-
ginal act; of little importance signed by the Russian Govern-
ment, this police-officer took upon himself to come with
seven men, at seven o'clock in the morning on the 24th of
December, 1845, before it was daylight, and force open the
ddor of the apartment where the Princess was sleeping, and

London, April 2, 1S311:

RICILHOND ELEcTION.

- - -
The death of the Hon. W. Ridley Colborne, P., foy
which a vacam y in the represNitation of this borough WrIT
caused, created a very general regret amongst i 11..., electors,
especially amongst those agreeing is the political opiniorks
and conduct of the Hon. Gentleman, whilt his regular and
active attendance on his Parliamentary tlutie, and strict
consistency of conduct, must have won him the respect of
those who were cpposed to him. By his friends who sup-
ported him he was considered a promising and rising young
man, and his death-was, therefore, proportionably deplored.
The vacancy thus occasioned is proposed to'be lilted by
Henry Bich, Esq., formerly Member for the borough of
Knaresborough, also in-the•county of York, who.almost im-
mediately after the death of Mr. Colborne was announced
issued, the following circular address amongst the electors,
viz.:

"TO TILE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF VIE
RICHMOND.

"Gentlemen,—The lamented death of your late honour-
able, active, and intelligent Member has suddenly caused a
vacancy in your representation.
" The vast importance of the measures now before Parlia-
ment render it expedient that no time should be lost in tilling
up the vacancy thus mournfully caused. I venture, there-
fore, gentlemen, to offer myself to your notice, as a friend of
your late excellent Member, and as one who entertains
similar political opinions.
" The slight acquaintance I have had the pleasure of form-
ing with the inhabitants of your borough encourages me in
the hope of extending this intercourse by mutual services ;
and I trust that the honour I have already had of represent-
ing a neighbouring borough in the West Riding may be a
guarantee of my political conduct and opinions. I venture
to refer to my efforts both in and out of Parliament lbr many
years, as an earnest of the zeal I hope to show if you should
'do me the honour to elect me as your representative. It
shall be my duty, as it will be my pleasure, while I Watch:

without violence and without change.

" Should these principles and professions meet your appro-
bation, it-shall be my constant endeavour zealously to carry
them out, and to prove to you that 1 will perform as willingly
as I can promise.

"Gentlemen, your obedient and humble serant,
"HENRY RICH.

"Richmond, March 26, 1546."
On Friday morning, the' 27th ult., it was announced, by
the posting of large orange placards (the Whig colour), that
Mr. Rich would meet the inhabitants in the Town Hall that
evening. Christopher Croft, Ecq., the late Mayor, presided,
and introduced the honourable candidate to the meeting,
which was numerously attended by all parties, Whigs, Re-
formers, and Con-formers. Mr. Rich made a most excellent
address, speaking out freely as a Whig, and as holding the
same principles as the late lamented representative of the
borough. He introduced a good deal of constitutional history
from the revolution of 1688, and expulsion of the Stuarts,
to the present time; of the first Earl of Chatham, and the
war which led to the loss of America, and time causes
thereof; procceeded to the times and conduct of Fox
and ; declared himself in favour of general
education, and reform of the law, and of progressive reform in
all our institutions; denounced the general treatment of Ire-
land in strong terms, and praised the Lords for reversing, on
the appeal, the judgment on O'Connell, &c. &c. The address
was well received, and cheered by all parties, and proved in-
disputably that Mr. Rich was at least a Whig, if not some-
thing more. •
A resolution having been moved by Leonard Cooke,
Esq., one of the aldermen, to the effect "That the Hon. Can-
didate was a fit and proper per person to represent the bo-
rough in Parliament." it was carried amidst the cheers of
the assemblage ; and on Saturday (next day) the Hon.
Gentleman commenced his canvas, attended by his retained
agents, probably representing all the above parties, viz.,
G. J. Fielding, James Hunton, and Frederick. Thirlwall.
Esqs., who might all be useful when they came to their re-
spective friends. The election is fixed for this day, the
Bth instant, when the Hon:Gentleman will be proposed by
George Smurthwaite, Esq. and seconded by. Leonard Cooke,
Esq. There is no doubt all will go off with that harmony
and general concord which the decidedly liberal principles
and conduct of Mr. Rich so well deserve. Mr. Rich, it will
be recollected, is generally considered the author of many
able political works, pamphlets, &c.: " What 'Next ; or,
what will the Lords do?" " The Conduct and Proceedings
of the Reform Ministers to the time of Sir Robert Peel's
,coming into Office," &c. &c.

to seek in every part of the apartment for me, when; in order
to place my original papers in security in a country where
the authorities respect the laws, I had left Paris for England
thirteen days previously. -
Thus, although my name has never been mentioned in any
political association or party; without having the possibility
of extorting even the slightest reproach from the authorities
of the French Government at Boulogne, Dieppe, Bocheim,
or Niederbronn, where I fixed my residences in order to oc-
cupy myself entirely with the Princess's health ; without its
being in the power of any one even to claim obole from after
a residence of eight years in France, a French police-officer
finds himself invested with the character of executioner for
another Government!

This fact is still more serious, forming a chain of evidence
which will prove-Ist, that since my protestation, already
mentioned, there have been five attempts made to obtain the
documents which I had offered to present in a Congress of Sove-
reigns, or a Council of Ministers, composed of the representatives
of the five great Powers, in London, and that the names of

the person; employed by the Austrian Government are
known who are implicated in this disgraceful undertaking.
2dly, that I had no intention of returning from London iu
1844, to fix my residence again in France, had it not been
that my counsellor, Count Fernig, a general in the service of
his Majesty Louis Philippe, King of the French, invited me in
the most express manner to meet him at Dieppe, announcing
in his letter that Any future prospects would be assured by
this step. _ _ _

Mr. E. STURGES CONCERT AT TILE HANOVER •SQUARE
Rooms.—The annual concert of Mr. E. Sturges, the well-
known organist of the Foundling, takes place to-morrow
evening at the lloloVer-square Rooms. Among the vocaliits
engaged are the Misses Birch, Rainforth, and Maria B.
Hawes; and Messrs. H. Phillips, Leffler, Genge, King,
Rafter (who made so successful a' Mild the other day at the
Philharmonic), and Atkins. The whole of Haydn's
" Creation" will be given, and given in a manner perfectly
new in this country, inasmuch as the alto or counter-tenor
part will be sung by ladies, as is the case in Germany.• The
" Creation" will be followed by a selection of new sacred
music. Mr. Sunman is the conductor, and Mr. Perry the
leader. Mr. Sturges presides at the organ. We anticipate
a great treat.

This same Count Fernig came to pay me a visit at Bou-
logne two years past, offering to place himself at my entire
disposal with the utmost devotedness; wishing that every-
thing should pass through his intervention in my affairs, and
that he should be entrusted with the execution of my slight-
est wishes. He assured me that his Majesty Louis Philippe
and the French Government interested themselves greatly in
my cause, as being perfectly in alliance with the interests of
France! that it was quite in conformity with the views of
the French Government that I should grant the Order of the
Reemption to the French. In definitive, and to abridge as
much as possible details into which I am obliged to enter,
during the last two years, not a step has been taken except
in concert with the Count, under the firm conviction that we

NUMBER OF PASSENGERS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
FaAscß.—The following is the official list of the number of passen-
gers who have passed between England and France by the ports of
Folkstone, Dover, London, and Boulogne, and Calais, from the 23d
to the 29th of March inclusive :—By Boulogne, 864 passengers, 42
horses, 5 carriages ; by Calais, 153. The 864 passengers via Bou-
logne were as follows:—Entered coming from Folkstone, 325 passen-
gers; Dover, 0; London, 67. Total, 392. Entered going to Folk-
stone, 344-passengers; Dover; 9; London, 128. Total, 864.
TUE DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN.—It having been
reported that needlework was sent from London to the Ports-
mouth and Portsea unions, in consequence of the determina-
tion of most of the London workhouses not to take in any
work except at full prices, the President and the Hon. Secretary
of the above society went down to Portsmouth, and, we are glad to
say, received written statements from both the matron and master,
setting forth that the guardians (to their honour be it told) prohibited
any needlework being taken in at those unions, as it would be inju-
rious to the poor who are endeavouring to earn an industrious liveli-
hood. A grand ball, under distinguished patronage, is to take place
at Willis's Rooms on the 24th of this month, in aid of the funds of
the above charity. Among the stewaris for the occasion are the
names:of sixteen lords and several Members of the House ofComm on s.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, APRIL 7.—lntel-
ligence has been received at Woolwich of the death of Captain St.
John, commanding the Ist company of the 6th battalion of Royal
Artillery, at Jamaica, to which station he proceeded in November,
1843. The decease of this officer promotes Second-Captain Stare, at
present with Captain Griffin's'company of the Bth battalion, at Bar-
badoes, to the command of the Ist company of the 6th battalion,

were supported by the King and his Government. In the
month of November last I went to Paris, the Count Fernig
having assured me that it would be gratifying to the King and
Queen, and other members of the Royal Family, that the
Princess and myself were presented at court, when the veil was
removed, and, to our extreme astonishment, the Count Fernig,
wheara I had welcomed as envoy[ from the King of the
French, proved to be a friend of the Austrian Government.

I haVe: already declared, and I repeat, that so far from
wishing to recede from explanations, I am happy to give any
required that are in accordance with my dignity; but Aus-
tria, who acts always in the most dark and treacherous man-
ner, not daring to deny openly either my person or my rights,
.is indefatigably occupied in spreading covertly, by her emis-
saries, doubts and calumnies regarding me, ever since my
mother, the Princess Gonzaga, born Princess Esterhazy, died
in 1836.

I have hitherto despised these false reports, trusting to the
evidence of my private and public life, the latter almost ex-
clusively military, to speak, as facts must speak, for them-
selves; but it is time that the truth should assert its
rights in the midst of such wilful deceptions, and it is time
that historical facts, which Austria perverts wherever her

power can be exercised upon the press should be presented
to public opinion in their reality.
I am, by the grace of God, Prince de Gonzaga Mantoue
Castiglione, heir to the Dukes of Mantua and Guastalla, de-
scendant in direct line from Charlemagne, and a long succes-
sion of Sovereigns, who have reigned in Mantua since 1328,
when Louis 1., de Gonzaga,was elected by voxpopoli Sovereign
of Mantua, as your actual Sovereign was elected in 1830
King of the French ! My country is Italy ! By the mar-
riage of my grandfather, his Serene Highness Prince Philip
Louis de Gonzaga, in England with the Princess de Medina
Cecil, in 1760, and the birth of my father, his Serene High-
ness Prince Joseph Louis de Gonzaga, in 1761, I have the
privileges as an Englishman which the laws of England ac-
curd under such circumstances. By the marriage of my
father, first with the Princess Susoff Countess of Murzynowski,
the title of Murzynowski was added to the other titles of our

family; by his second marriage with the Princess Juliana
Madelina Esterhazy, in 1791, he had three sons, of whom I

alone am the survivor.

I, Prince Alexander de Gonzaga, &c., was born at Dres-
den the 12th of November, 1799, and was baptized at Wola
by the desire of my
.father, according to the inclosed act.
I was naturalised in the kingdom of Wurtemberg, in 1833,
with the permission of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia,
and Lieutenant-Colonel in the service of Poland, but in
Russian Poland, as I observed to the Prefecture of Police at
Paris. Notwithstanding this explanation, and knowing per-
fectly that my last military service was in Spain until 1838,
the chief of the office for foreigners, chose to continue to in-
scribe my name on the list of Polish, instead of Spanish re-
fugees. Although, to say the truth, he had no right to en.
title me otherwise than citizen of the kingdom of Wurtem-
berg until 1842, when I offered the demission of my services
as subject of the King of Wurtemberg preparatory to my
protestation in 1843, claiming my rights as a Sovereign
Prince.
For the last six years I have been travelling about inde-
pendently, and without having experienced any molestation
with my passport, delivered by order of the Minister for the
Affairs of the Interior at Paris, given by M. Delessert, Pre-
fect of the Police, with the quality Spanish, general, the
passport signed, as usual, at the Office for Foreign Affairs.
How then, Monsieur le Ministre, without informing your-
self to what extent you might compromise your King and
his Ministers in their different correspondences with me since
the year 1838—without making any reference to the letters
written until 1840, your Government qualifying me Spanish
refugee, as I certainly entered France as such on my arrival
from Spain ill 1838--how, I repeat, could you venture into
the crooked policy of the interior of a prefecture of police at
Paris, and allow yourself to acquaint M. de Kesseleff, Charge
d'Affaires of Russia, at the moment I was reclaiming some
copies of documents from his Government, not wishing to
displace the originals, that I could only be considered as a
Polish refugee? Those persons who thought proper to make
use of you to be the interpreter of this falsehood, have ont menti,
et gravement nienti! and have not even the pretext of igno-
rance, for my protestations have been sufficiently made
known in the public papers and in all the Courts of Europe.
Does the French police pretend then to be unaware that I
arrived in France about the same time with many other
Spanish officers, after having served in the army of Don
Carlos in 1837 and 1838? I admit, that whilst waiting for
some money I expected to receive from my family-, that I
accepted a trifling sum of 80 francs from lieZlificefof Stran-
.

DISCHARGES FROM THE ARMY.--Several privates, to
the number of nearly 20, belonging to the 3d battalion of Grenadier
Guards, who have been illegally attested, having been enlisted in one
district and sworn in before a magistrate acting for a different divi-
sion of the county, left Windsor, where the regiment is in garrison,
on Monday morning, for London, to appear before the board at the
Horse Guards, for the purpose of claiming their discharge. They
were informed that, agreeably to a circular issued from the War-
office about three weeks since, they might be permitted, if they con-
sented to be re-enlisted and attested, to reckon all their former pe-
riod of service in precisely the same manner as If the original attesta-
tion had been in all respects regular, so that they might claim their
respective discharges and pensions when the proper period for so
doing had arrived. We understand that several privates in the
Household Brigade, thus situated, have adopted this plan, and re-
main in the service of the Sovereign.

THE EFFECT OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MEASURES.
—lt Is not a little remarkable, that with the full expectation of the
alteration in the corn-laws being carried, the price of wheat evince*
a disposition to advance, while workmen have in some places strm2k,
and In other places contemplate a strike, for higher wages. In Car-
