PRINCE PALII, OP Wiertmaatto.--.Prinre PAUL
of ‘VIRTEMZERG, brother of the reielit KINQ,
batty resided fora few months at Paris. His
father, whose displeasure it- is known he had ifl
curie !, requested that he might be sent a way.
lie :removed to Swifterland; bursoon alter he
arrived,`withouf any previous -announcement, at
Sttittgarti, and presented himself before his father,
soliciting obliVion of tht'past, and to he received
into his family. It appears that the late King,
though of a character hide susceptible of !mei-
tiotr, was touched with this interview'; but that
the Prince Royal is said to have declared, that if
hiS brother femained at the Court be would im-
mediately leave it. He even bad an interview.Witli
Prince Paul, ift which the latter endektitattred to
recut him tO kinder tentiments. Prince Petri was
soon atterwariltarrOsted and conducted to Fithort.
We doubt not bin that the new King will honotir
the first moments of his reign by restoring his
bebtirty to Liberty, and titat,'liite another Henry
V. or Louis-Mi., he will forget the resentmeuts
of Ills... Prince Roy Paper.)
