premier quaiitS She became the mistress of Du-
jarrier, Il think his name was) who was after
wards killed In duel, fought between HIM and
a rival editor trial at law afterwards took
place at Rouen, growing out of this duel, IN which
the licentious private life of many OF the Partisan
journalists was revealed to the wondering world.
Lola Monies, on this trial, gave her evidence
relative TO Duarrier, and she exhibited on that
occasion a scene of tears, sentiment, love, and
moral depravity and modern philosophy, which
is yet talked of with much melancholy interest
After this explosion, Lola wandered about from
! lover to lover from town 10 town-from Paris to
Berlin, from Berlin to Dresden, till last summer,
when she took trip to the minor Kingdoms and
minor theatres of Europe, thinking there, and in
that way, she might be enabled to pick up either
lover or living for the time. After certain of
her wanderings, she reached Munich the capital
of Bavaria. Here she made an offer of her
vices to the manager of the theatre, in the role
of Spanish danseuse. Now, Munich is strange
place-and is under the government of queer sort
of sovereign. Louis, the king of Bavaria, is per-
feet original in his line of business. He is not
only king, but poet, philosopher, an artist,
an editor, and manager of the theatre AS
theatrical manager, it is rule Of the king to
a private exhibition of every dancer, singer or
artist of any description, previous to an engage
ment. OF course, Lola Monies gave specimen
of her talents in private before the king, and the
other managers. His majesty found some quail
fications in her that caught his patronage, which
the Partisan audience could not discover In
fact, after n brief negotiation, she became, it is
affirmed, the cher annie of King Louis, who is now
over sixty years old, and has had scores of mis-
tresscs. Much about the SAME time, crisis had
been approaching in the Bavarlan ministry. Ba-
varia is Catholic country and the Jesuits hold
there uncontrolled sway. The Bavarian minis
try had been under the influence of Loyola for
many years. King Louis was getting tired of
this influence. He just about the point OF
dissolving the Jesuit ministry, when he took 1t
into his head give the title of countess, and let
tiers of naturalization, to Lola Monies. Selling
upon this incident as weak point against the
king, the ministry endeavored to turn 1t to ac-
count by firm stand in opposition, on the ground
of good morals and Christian principle, although
the pious fathers had seen him have dozens be-
fore without a word. They threatened to resign
sooner than consent that Lola Monies should be
made countess. The king took them at their
word turned them all out, assumed a new direc-
ton of affairs, and kept his new countess III OPP
position to the Jesuts and all their influence.
These disgraceful events, connected with Bet
sey Watson, sort of modern Pompadour, have
furnished articles and letters for the newspapers
over all Europe for months past. Even the Lon
don Times has given long editorials on the sub
Iceland published letters from Lola Monies
herself. | understand, however, through the Ba-
varian embassy here, that all these eplses attri-
Z l.. e
that she has written no letters nj all-and could
not write such letters if she would. 1t is be-
lieved that these epistles have been written by
unknown parties either in Bavaria, in Paris, or
I in London, merely to humor the joke, and to
kthrow ridicule over his Majesty of Bavaria, his
Jesuts, his conduct, and the whole management
of his affairs You will find all these epstles'
| some attributed to Lola Monies, and others
anonymous, in the English journals. They have
made great noise in Europe, and are worth
publishing lust to show what the morals of mo-
narchy are in their own expostlons. Bavaria's
morals and Bavaria's monarchy are both curious
subjects of speculation to the republicans of the
West. Last summer we passed through portion
of Bavaria, and picked up several curious facts
and occurrences. The father of Louis, the pre-
sent queer king, was Macmillan, who gave the
kingdom sort of constitutional government,
like England. This was about the close of the
last war. This government is formed of two
chambers house of lords and house of COM
mons, the former called the Herrcnstadt and the
latter the Rifterstadt. On the accession of the
prescribing, great additional privileges were con-
ferred. The press was made free, almost. The
kings ministry was liberal. Under this state of
government, all the talent, genius, and free in
tellect Of Germany crowded to Munich. Jour-
mails and newspapers of every description were
started in Bavaria. The Jesuits were ridiculed,
and almost written down. Henry Heine and
others wrote and published. Every thing went
on very well and very smoothly, until these ibe-
raj writers began to touch upon and allude to the
conduct of the king-conduct which was any
thing but moral or proper. Influenced, probably,
by the morals of the palace, the state of society
in Munich became extremely dissoute and
spread its effects over the other towns of Bava-
ria. As sample and proof Of this immortality,
it is among the facts published to the world by
the Bavaran government, that the number of
ilegitimate children annually born in Munich,
and in some other towns, is nearly as large
as those born in wedlock. Bavaria is called
the country of beer and babies. The king
however, notwithstanding his private pronigacy,
was an enormous patron of the fine arts. He is
the founder of the celebrated Walhalla, on the
hill above Ratisbon, on the Danube He has fill
cd Munich with palaces, pictures, statues, and
decentralization. The censures of the press upon
his immortality worked gradually strange revo-
luton in his mind; and soon after his accession
to the throne, he changed his policy, threw him
self into the hands of the esuits, suppressed all
the journals, and imprisoned the journalists
some ofthem during their whole lives. For more
than seventeen years, his government has been
nearly absolute under the influence of the Jesuits.
Recently, however, before Lola Monies made
her appearance at Munich, he began to get tired
of his fanatica advisers and the figure which
that woman has cut, has only accelerated the
crisis. The discarded ministry have published
