There has been another Ovorturn OF the
Ministry in France, caused by The refusal
of the Chamber Of Deputies to grant large
allowance from the Treasury to the Duke
of Nemuurs, the King second son, in view
of his contemplated marriage with Coburg
Princess. This obstinacy has thrown the
| King and his family into mortal rage, and
is thought to have threatened the subversion
Of his government. The Deputies consl-
dered that the King might well afford tosup-
port his superfuous sons out of his ample
