slander of the Spanish King.
Advices from London deny the story of
love and assassination iu which the King of
Spain and the Duke De Sext) are REPRE-
sented as the principal actors. One YER

Spanish colonel, shows its falsity from the
fact that the colonel mentioned is well
known in New York, where he resided
long time, and married an American lady,
who has no daughter, and the gentleman,
instead of being assassinated, is alive and
in comfortable circumstances.
