the birth OF Louis XIV, the " Grand
Monarque of France. Anne Of AUS
tria, the mother of that sovereign, and
queen Of Louis NH, had partly 10y the
Vaccinations of the willy Cardinal Rich
elieu, who had his own ambitious purpos-
es to serve, and partly by her own impru-
dences, been for some years eStfansed and
separated from her husband. She is ae-
euscd by historians OF having carried on
4 foreign correspondence with her relations
in Spain, AMI Of having held various CONF
munications with other powers at that
time engaged in actual hostility against
France. There may have been morally
no crime in such acts i, these, and cou,d-
cring the feelings Of an accomplished aud
enthusiastic woman towards her personal
friends, much might be said in extenuation
Of them but they were doubtless illegal
and unconstitutional, and the suspicion Of
her guilt exposed her to the Indignation
both Of the king and his minister. That
she was not entirely guilteas-not mere
" Of an interlictel correspondence, but

trgue-hls since been proved; bat in ap-
