A POiisicsi scheme OF sns House o.
Orleans.


Orleans.
Louis Philippe Albert. Count OF Paris, &c
heir TO the throne Of France, as claim the ad-
herents Of the royas family o. Orleans, has es-
pouscd the Princess Isabelle of Spain, and by
50 doing checkmated the manmuvres OF
Napoleon Ill, who has sought 10 gain the good
will and alliance Of that government ever siuce
&c attained power. The Emperor Of the
French married Eugenie because through her
he hoped to obtain hold upon the Spanish
people. In ell matters wherein he might show
good will and favor TO Spain he was ever
eager and desirous TO do so, and until the with
drawal OF her forces from the Mexican ex-
pedition the entente eordiale between that
government aud France seemed complete.
Since that event q coolness has arisen between
the cabinets OF Madrid and Paris, and now that
the royal house Of Spain Il allied to the
royal family of Orleans, il may be considered
that Napoleon's chances to consolidate any
alliance with Spain are meagre. This much
has certainly been accomplished by the
marriage Of the Count of Paris; and. as royal
cspousals arc generally more matters Of policy
than affection, the House Of Orleans has herein
gained a great advantage over its natural
enemy, Napoleon.
Within the past five or six years the Orleans
family has steadily gained ground throughout
Eustpe, and we may add in this country also.
The princes have come prominently before tho
world as worthy sc;ons Of great and noble
race, and in France, where for few years
their cause seemed absorbed by the glare and
glitter Of the new empire, they are recovering
the good Will and loyal attachment or the
party in Franoe--yncn capable and bold--whe

people, and who, il the security of great aud

openly Tie remarkable men ia the French
legislative chambers are the Oclcanists Napo-
leon and his more devoted followers fear these
men, and endeavor to tdwart their opposition
by tricks unworthy a stable government, but
the people see through these petty schemes, and
steadily the Orleans family is recovering the
favor which the supinoncss OF one Of its mem
hers jeopardized When Napoleon, Influenced

ing desire for this among the people, and in
the army there is feeling in favor Of the
princes. Daring the Italian war the young
Duke de Chartres served in a regiment Of Sar-

with The french troops, and these ever be-
traycd the utmost respect, we might say revcr-

his birth. His cause will be backed by all the
influence OF England and Spain, and have the
good will Of Europe generally Taking this
view Of affairs, the late marriage OF the Prince
assumes a great political significance, and may
be termed successful move on the part Of the
Orleans family.
