author OF Esprit des Lois Monesqueul, not only CON-

Egyptians, but that the with reference 10 the

faulty and unjust in principle Is fully justified by the
pugnaDce experienced by powerful nations at being
governed by foreign princes introduced by alliances
These changes o. dynasty are almost always accom-

collateral princes themselves deceived in their

promised her husband the command OF the army; |
the Cortes refused TO adopt this arrangement bona
Maria da Gloria dismissed the Parliament and conferred
the prince the promised dignity. But the revolution
Of the 9th September 1886 compelled her declare that
in virtue Of TIE constitutional charter of 1920 Prince Fer

II required much resignation. frmness. and ire

The maintenance OF the Saic law in France has other
