Ile* Majesty sank, on the 28th of December, at
nine o'clock in the evening, cruder a second attack of

After her Majesty bad ceased to live, the Carnelian
operation was pesformedorith the i►in.j's permission,
in the bops of saving the fortes, which was found to
be a female. Every care, however, was tarried in
vain, for it lived only a few minutes. This de-

The (arisen, Maria Isidrolla Frances, born at Lis-
bon the 19th of May, 1797, was daughter of John
I V. King of Porte's% and of Charlotte Jnachim de
Bourbon, Infanta of Spain, sister of King Ferdinand
VII. and consequently his niece.

The following is the official account of this event,
pebliahed in Madrid, Dec. 27:
" The 25th of December of this year will he a
day of eternal sorrow fo► the Spanish Monarchy, in ,
consequence of the loss of a Queen endowed with '
the most eminent qualities, ■nd whn was at the same
time the ornament of the Spauish throne, and the ea- ,
ample of every domestic virtue.
" About nine o'clock in the evening, her Majesty
the Queen being in bed, and conversing with some
persons in attendance on her, was soddenly seised
by a convulsion which seemed to leave her io two or
three minutes. Her Msj.sty recover►d her senses,
bet remained in a state of satiety, which was fol-
lowed quickly by another convulsion. From that
moment the attacks continued without interruption,
In spite of the most proper remedies w►ich were in-
stantly administered to save her Majesty's precise*
life. Every thing was in vain : tt.e convelsions hew-
ing lasted about twenty-two minutes, the best of
Queens expired.
" The deplorable /loath of her Majesty having
been certified, by the King's permissitse the Cie.arisis
operation was perforated. The child, which was
that of an Infests, was baptized, and every means

been made relative to myself in the Chamber of be.
pities, I tate the liberty of addressing to you a few
observations.
"I should be ton proud of a mark of esteem t
by the King, with the coneerrence of the t IWO Chas-
bens, to entertain en ides of derlinisig it ; but. Sir, I
have learned from the Public Journals, that it is in
contemplation to assign me, at. the Plibllite of the
Stele, a national recompence ; sod I cannot consent
that, on my secnent, any addition should be made to
the burdens whkh press upon the nation.
" If, in the course of my Ministry, I have had the
I happiness to reader services to Franco, and recently
to contribute to the liberation of her territory, my
feelings are not less afflicted to know that my coun-
try is loafed with enormoes debts. Too many Cale-
rabies have befallen her ; too many citizens are sunk
into misfortune; there are too many lenses to repair,
for me to allow my fortune In be netted under such
circomstances. TM esteem of my country, the good.
Inest of the King, and the approval of my conscience,
are a sofficient reward.

111. FADE DE LA BOULATE.--It appears to we,
that I should not well judge the sentiments which
animate the Chamber. if I did not think that It pro.
tested a ..igh esteem for the character of the Noble
Duke, respecting whom a proposition his been made.
It further appeals to me, that the universal joy re-
cited by the liberation of our territhry will not he
disputed, nor that the Doke de Richelieu was the
ptiecipal agent in this great cork. A !cog career.
honourably spent in foreign counities, hail ineevtoe
him with the ronfidenee of • greet Monarch : his
loyalty rendered that confidence general. It is esi•
dent that he has been the strongest link in the chairs
which connected foreign policy with the interests of
F•aoce. All that modesty and disinicestednei+
which shed lustre upon a brilliant character, adorn
that of the Noble Duke. Ile has proved that he
knew how to defend to the utmost the interests and
dignity of France; he etercised private forbearance,
and devoted his opinion to the repose and the happi.
nest of his coontry. In every point of view, the
proposition that is made to os might to be discussed
•ith calmness and liberality. Not only the national
opinion, bet European *Onion, ought to be present
to err consideration. if some difficelties arise re.
spotting the conetivoiionality of the eneavnte, end on
the iml•ortsnt qeestion of knowing what may be the
edmintsges and inconveniences of national teem-
, peaces, the established nrd•r tektite in our delibe-
rations, permit ns to discess these difficulties in Com-
mittees. It is perhaps proper not to sister upon so
delicate a aui•ject, either as it concerns affairs or per.
suns, previously to the accustomed preparatory dis-
cussions. I therefore require, that the Chamberdo,
fur the present. restrict itself to take into considers.
tips t►e proposition which has been made.
Calls for its being pet to the vote.
The discussion was closed.
The Chamber decided, that the proposition of M.
I)eless•rt having been taken into consideration, it
was sent to the Committees.

tral Commission which will be charged to report open
