nar,icularly intimate with the Count Gle Mon
cade. grandee OF Spain, and one OF the riches
mobiles OF the country.-Some time alter Tho
Marquis's arrival at the Hague, he received
letter from the Count, entreating him In the
name of their former friendship, to render him
the greatest possible service. You know,
said he, my dear Marquis, the modification
felt that the name Of Moncadc was likely TO ex'
Sire wit me. Al length it pleased heaven TO
hear my prayers, and TO grant mepson, he gave
carly promise Of dispositions worthy ofhis birth
but he, sometime since, formed an unfortunate
and disgraceful attachment 10 the most eeleera-
ted actress OF the company OF Toledo. smut

Young man whose conduct had, till then, caused
meAnmingled satisfaction. But having learnt
that he was so blinded by passion, as TO intend
10 marry this girl, and that he had even bound
himself by written promise TO that effect, |
solicited the King 10 have her placed in conilne-
ment. NV son having got information OF the
stems Ihad taken, defeated my intentions by
