der'ss Recent Expulsion from
France.
A World correspondent, writing
from Paris, says:
A few months ago Don Carlos
quilted the seat of war - that is,
the Russian headquarters - and
went back to Bucharest. l will not
dwell upon his mode of life while in
that place, but will merely mention
that when he left he took with him
the wife of a rich Wallachian,
Nine Gradistiano, who is described
as being one of the most beautiful
women in that country.
This elopement created a great
sensation even in Roumania - the
elite of Bucharest itself, the " City
of Pleasure" were shocked. The
excitement became all the greater
when, a few weeks afterward, Nine
Gradlstiano returned alone, seeking
he forgiveness of her husband.
The Spanish prince had abandoned
her at Jassy. Having arrived at
Vienna Don Carlos thought it wise
to pay his respects to the head of
his family-the French Count de
Ohambord = and so started for
FrohSdorf. But whether from DO.
litical reasons or because of the
complaints Of Madame the Duchess
Of Madrid, the neglected wife of
Don Carlos, the titular king of
Spain found it impossible to obtain
an audience of the titular king of
France, Henry V. Having made
several Intellectual attempts he re-
turned to Paris, where his wife and
children are residing in a hand
some villa near the Park of PaSsy.
Don Carlos was not permitted to
enjoy his home uninterruptedly.
The French government made it
known to the Pretender that his
room was preferable to his company
in other words, he was ordered to
leave the country at once. The
reasons which led to this | will
briefly relate.
No sooner had Don Carlos arrived
than he was called upon by the ex-
Queen Isabella Of Spain, who walked
out in public and drove out with
this avowed enemy of her own son,
Alfonso XII. She made a great
show of cordiality in her meetings
with the Pretender, and caused her
attendants to kiss his hand in sign
Of homage when they took leave of
him. Naturally enough, the Span
ish ambassador, the Count de Mo-
Inns, took umbrage at this, made
complaints to the French foreign
office, and Don Carlos was invited
to "walk Spanish and "take
French leave" 1t is said that
Queen Isabella in all she haG done
has been actuated partly by anger
at the approaching marriage of her
son With the daughter Of the Duke
of Montpensier, and partly by other
circumstances which l will make
known to you.
Some six weeks ago Queen ISa-
bella passed a few days at San Sc
bastian. She was accompanied by
her private secretary, N. Ramero
Puente, who, it is well known, has
very marked influence over the
queen. He is ever with her, making
himself very useful and giving evi-
dence of rare devotion. One even
ing while walking with Isabella,
who was escorted by one of her
garde du corps, young nobleman,
Che private secretary was so demon
stratiye in his manifestations of re-
gard for Isabella as quite to shock
the garde du corps, who, acting lit
orally in that capacity, informed n.
Ramero Puento that his conduct
was intolerable. The next morning
the guardsman was dismissed by
the queen, who in edition obtained
an order from the way minister that
the punctilions young gentleman
should be stricken from the roll of
the corps. Forty-eight hours after
this the entire force of the guards
sent in their resignation, having
learned the state Of things and been
