 observe Tn one otyopr letters, which have all been faithfully delivered, that you suspect the Duke of Orleans of hay ing had knowledge Of a plot against the Emperor, in the isle of islba. He is r- capable of any thing Of the kind; and, iromwhat 1 have been told by the repub- llcan who denounced that plot, and by Madame de Stael, who continued in friendship with the Duke of Orleans, l should, independent of his known cha racter, have been convinced that some one had calumniated him to you.
 One of my first cares, after his cleva- tion to the throne, was 10 express wish to him, that you, your children, and your respectable mother, might, if you thoughtiit, return tranquilly to France.
 The idea was very cordially received by the king; but objections were start ed on naccount ofthe treaties with foreign powers, which, absurd and insolent as they are, would render some negocia- tions necessary. Political circnmstan- ces have since changed; tue diplomat ic horizon is overcast; both sides are on their guard. Butt is supcrlluous to dwell on these cireunstances, since, in aiiyy sssss, judging iron, tiile tienor of your letters, you would not have adopt ed that course. ] mention it only in reference to what had the honor to tell you at RordentowD.
 In the sincerity of my heart, was anxious to have this explanation with you. l will not say that all hapT ened just as would have dictated it. You know that, in public, as well as private affairs, we never see things go entirely to our satisfaction. Your incampara- ble brother, with all his power, his ell- crgy, and bis talents, experienced the truth of ihis; and you, his best friend, have had your share of disappointment. l can make no concealment of what voluntarily did; for love to preserve your friendship by candor, rather than 10 destroy it by aless sincere apology.
 Receive, my dear Count, the homage of the respect, gratitude, and affection. for which l am pledged to you.

Interesting Correspondence.
From ihe .Ns.s- Fork qaxette.

We present to-daya very interesting spon3ence between JOSEPH BUoN- APARTE aad Gen. LAFAYETTE. fcopied from the .senoirS of I.afiy cite and the Revelation of 1890, by sM. 8. Sarrans, Secretary of Lafayette, published in London on the Beth of August last.)- The first letteris is without date, but must have been written in September, 1880. 1t is apparent from it's tenor, that the writer, however quiet his appearance on the banks of the Delaware, has not been at ease in his late situation. He asks of Lafayette the abolition of that arbitrary law which closes France a. gainst his family, and hopes the moment is not far distant, when his nephew, the deceased Duke of RErcnsrtDT, may help him to RESTORE TO FRANCE a portion of what they owe her.
 Tie answer of LAFAYETTE Is cha racterzed by all that good feeling, truth, hrmness, and candor, which so eminent ly distinguish him; and we consider it, in every point of view, as one of the best productions of his pen. We are quite sure this correspondence will be read by others with the same interest with which we have peIuscd it.
