A correspondence between the Empe.
ror Alexander, aud King Ferdinand oil
Spain, in the year 1917, has lateiy sP'
peared 10 several English journals, ana Is
considered by the editors as entitled 10 IN
limited confidence as being correct trans
latjous .rom genuine letters. One OF the
uapers in our possession remarks, tna'
this correspondence LOntesses conspiracy
expressly directed against the prospe.
,;ty of Eng Ia nd and the independence oil
Portugal, and that bribe is openly offer
cd 10 The Autocrst OF Russia, and prospec.
tyely accepted by him, as the price OF
his eonnivance or cooperation. What
ever may be the disposition OF ministers
10 preserve peace, the PRONUNCIATION "
such .reaeherous designs on the part OF our
faithless allies, must change not only Inc
substance, but the form OF our relations
with them; and it'undOubtediy must ena-
BILE the British government to speak IN a
louder and clearer voice upon the SUBJECT
of Ameriean affairs.
On perusing this remark, some ques-
tlons naturally occur, where aud how this
corresponds nee, involving subjects OF suCh
vast importance TO the interest and polil'-
cal standing Of England, and discussing
The private concerns OF the Spanish mon
arch, could have been obtained by gov
.rnment more deeply interested IN ae-
curing knowledge Of the facts i embra-
ces than any other in Europe? Has that
government been IN possession OF u Tor Sc
ven years, and now .first discovers t6e ot
occasion to develope the treachery OF her
'iaithless allies and expose a comoina'
ton against her interest, which, although
often remotely limited at, is at last relue-
family acknowledged TO exist? or has some
singular combination OF circumstance, OPP
portunely placed this portion OF the ar
cbiyes oil the Spanish throne in her power,
iust al the moment when the possession OF
them could be eminentlY beneficial RI Sc.

cial monopolies 10 South America.
The following part OF the correspon-
dence is published by the editor OF the
Philadelphia National Gazette, who says,

tbenticity'
Ferdinand processes unlimited devotion
TO Alexander, who tells him
