autograph Letter from LOUIS Philippe tothe King of
Nopies, relative to the Marriage of has daughter
Marie to Leopold.
My VERY DEAR BROTHER
AND WELL BELOVED NEpHEw:-
hasten to express to your Majesty the various
sentiments which Ihave experienced upon reading
The letters that we have just received from the
Queen, your excellent mother.
The new bond which is about to draw still closer
those which already unite our families, will be
doubly dear to me, and appreciate very sincerely
The part that you take IN forming it. hope, l am
confident, that you will find my daughter worthy of
your goodness, and that the union which she will
contract under your auspicies, will be the source
both of her own happiness and that of your excel
lent brother, Leopold.
But, my dear brother, for the better assuring of
the realization Of project, believe 1t is desra-
bic to have the tewest possible number Of conf
dants aid to endeavorto prevent any arls about
the affair before it is brought to a conclusion. If
You agree with me IN this opinion, 1t seems to me
1t would be best that the Prince di Butera, whom
you have selected as your ambassador to me, should
set out as soon as possible, and that you should
ves him, contidentally, with full powers tor draw
ing up and signing the marriage articles or contract
which must precede the marriage. However, In this
well In everything relating to the marriage and
| the other arrangements, we will do whatever will
suit you best. 1t would be our desire that follow
| i?g your own example and that of the Grand Duke
| of Tuscany, your brother.in-law and my nephew.
| the Prince, your brother, should come here and
cele brate his marriage In France AS our squadron
| Of the Levant is about to assemble at Toulon, |
could easily send one of our frigates for him. and
would arrapgeit In such manner as tn 1t he should
make the journey and return to Italy without being
at any expense (; and should also be spared the
fatigue OF public honors and ceremonlas as tar, at
least. as he should desire. Six weeks or two
months of absence would be sufficient, aud this
would be vertable satisfaction for US. But if this
| plan should not suit you, it will then he necessary
| TO resort to marriage by proxy. My eldest son
could receive the proxy of Prince Leopold, and he
would also undertake with pleasure to conduct his
sister to Naples.
| 1t ls with my whole heart my dear brother, that
| renew the expression of the sincere friendship
which feel tor You. and which l shall always pre-
for You, well OF the unalterable attach
ment with which am
Your Majesty's very affectionate
Brother and uncle,
LOUIS PHILIPPE.
