att~; in the most peremptory manner, the rumour itself,
the statement ofitshaving gained considerable

ot4R••;o,elrcumstance would affect the union of the dis-

tint"ability or improbability of there being direct
trairiZlti the imperial marriage, I will only say that no
here
tOrtion has been made, either private or official,

that the
