Queen Isabella to a VIGOROUSLY impotent!
husband, and of the Duke Of Montpensier,
the youngest son OF Louis Philippe, to the
sister of Queen Isabella. During the year
1876, this item appears in a statement of
the account signed BY Navarro, as auditor
and Mugica, as treasurer, of Havana;"Paid
bills of exchange RENTED by the minister
plenipotentiary of her Majesty in Mexico
for matters belonging to the service, $780,
IOOO." On the lst Of December, -le47,
Olozoga read a lecture TO the Government
for the needless expenditure of the money.
On the 18th day of the same month, SenOr
Segasti, the leader of the opposition in the
spanish Congress, charged that a corsid-
cradle sum of money had been intrustcd to
the Spanish ministry at Mexico, for the
purpose of establishing a monarchy in that
Republic, and demanded of the ministry an
official list of moneys paid from the treasury
of Heaven, since 1874, to Government Or
ders. The friends of the Government re-
sisted the injury, but did not denythe allie.
cations of Senior Segasti.
Louis Philippe was in favor of placing
the Queen Mother Christina on the throne
of Mexico; and to further that object, Flu
mes, the brother of Munoz, the husband of
Queen Christina, was sent as the consul
general to Mexico. "The plot tlickened;
success seemed at last probable; but the
overthrow Of Parades, and war with this
country, thwarted at least this the most
magnificent scheme which has been con-
ceived for years, for the extension of Eu-
iiropean influence on this continent" The
view of the subject is confirmed by the let
ter us Mr.. Buchanan, in which he says:
SIT is the opinion of many of the liberals
that if the Congress meet, (Which is to be
the LIST of June, J they will establish a mon
archial form of government, and call in
foreign aid. This act they think will have
the semblance of legality; it is therefore
their desire that this government may be
put down before the meeting of said Con-
gress, that no foreign Power may have
such pretext to intermeddle IN their affairs"
The letter of General Santa Anna, bearing
sfdate the 9Th of March, 1876, to his conf
|dential friend, and. also his plan Of a gov
lernrnent which was circulated in the differ
+ ent Departments of Mexico about the same
5 time, assert the fact that the Government
of Parsdes was inviting a European mon-
lIarch to rule Mexico. All these are accu-
3 Imulated facts to show the willingness with
which Paroles listened to their plans.

The better and paramount title insisted

to that portion Of the country between the
Rio Grapde aHdsthe Nueces was never
thought of bntAep, and they do not, to
this day, pretend to understand it. The
whole thing is concocted for party purpo-
ses, and the cause is so thin, that all Demo-
Gratis, at least, can see through it. Next

the monopoly which Great Britain enjoyed
of the commerce of Mexico for years past
