From the Morning Herald.

The King of the French has, it is alleged, sent M. Pageo,
a missio to the courts of the great European monarchiess

to disclaim all pretensions to an alliance between the youth-
ful Queen of Spain and any of his unmarried sons ; likewise,
rted, to add that his Majesty insists on the Queen
one of the family of Bourbon, and that the accept-
husband from any other Royal house will be viewed
eas an act of hostility. The latter item of this mis-
) monstrous, that we must have much higher autho-
"lan that on which it has been stated, to induce
it its accnrrcy. We do not believe that so sa-
s a Monarch as Louis Philip has done anything so
or violent as to declare that he will prescribe
rcle of mankind from which Queen Isabel shall
; and that if her Majesty venture beyond it, he

there is internal evidence, cannot he true; be-
; would include among the princes from whom Queen
may, by permission of the French King, choose
;nd. Henri of Bourbon—a selection which would be
,tolerable to Louis Philip than even a Coburg. The
is, moreover, most improbable, because it would
