From m. Nc,r York Comm,rcial Adrcrtiscr, So

ioms:--
lit is probable, if the facts which reported
respecting thus sudden movement hc true, that the
Count has political objects in view IN making this
visit - Europe, connected with the disturbed state
of France, 1T the date OF our last news from that
country. IL is SAID that French gentleman arri-
we'd in a late packet from Paris that he proceeded
directly 10 the residence of the Count i'll Borden
town and after "A short stay there he returned to
New York, and re-emharkcd Tor Europe. hmmc-
diatcly after the reported visit of the messenger
the Count placed the management of his affairs i'm
the hands OF a gentleman at Bordcntown, and made
hasty preparations tor his departure. We arc the
moro inclined to give credit To the coniccturcs
which are made respecting the objects his voyage,
from the tenor OF n letter written by him. which
was published some time ago. and which showed
that he had not abandoned the expectation of tho
restoration Of his family to power IN France. We
have however, seen very little indication, either
before since tue publication of that letter. OF any
disposition in any considerable portion of the
French people to countcnancc tho prctcnsions put
forward In that letter.
The courier DIES Emts Uns, French paper pub
lished in this city, the readers of the CONNER
oal Advertiser have already been informed, has at
tributed the sudden departure of it's distinguished
patron for Europe, to causes exclusively of E,ni
~ and private nature Ii may he II is indeed
possible, that "a last appeal from dying mother,
and the pressing requests of spouse dangerously
i'll, - may have been the only motives for this dis
tant aud unexpected voyage. How strong slay
have bcca the appeal of the mother, we cannot
say but we must be permitted to doubt, whether
the ''rcqucSts" of spouse" who had for sixteen
years refused To enjoy "Vcn an aiilucnt and happy
exile with her husband, could have been very
pressing, $50 suddenly and exceedingly urgent
as to have had much weight OH the mind of the
Count, i'll determining upon the present voyage.
We are, perhaps the more sccpticai i'll this mat
ter from the circumstance that we were in possess
ion of information of similar import TO that quo

days before the departure of the EX-kmg from
Philadelphia; but omitted to speak upon the subject

turned from the Counts residence to tho hotcl,-
departing thence again, in great haste, it
believed, OF Ills return TO Europe.
Until tho period of this event. which was but n
very short time ago, not tho slightest whisper was
abroad of the intention of the Count to revisit the
old world. His pursuits the same $ usual;
his improvements were in progress; and he was
also engaged i'll the erection of some expensive

neIghborhood that the Count preparing to
leave there Tor Europe, to enable him to do which,
it is understood that tho management of his affairs
and his property in trust, have been conldcd TO

SO much for the story--thc coloring of which,
may possibly, be set down to the crodn of surmisc

have been sorrowiug spectator of the nsurrcct-

The time, moreover, of the sudden departure OF
the Ex.kng-arc we to infer nothing from that?
France has been in unGuict state for many
months. Notwi thStanGmg the cxtacicS of the
French people, when Louis Philip called by
Lafayette to the throne, to the exclusion of the
elder branch oft!o BourbonS, they were soon and
very grievously disappointed. The restoration of
