PARIS Oct 2.-Upon the visit Of King
Alfonzo to this city, the people, irritated at
the recent festivities in Germany, the fact
that Alfonzo had been a guest of the German
emperor and been created honorary colonel in
the German army ,hooted and hissed the Span
ish king. crying xiii the Uhlan king" and
rushing up to his carriage as close as possible
| to cast their execrations ut him. The mem
bers of the senate marched in front and
around his carriage with drawn swords and
there was an exciting time generally Presi-
Grevy offered Alfonso an humble apology
which was accepted but the Spauiaru left
! Paris after very short stay.
| LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Paris correspondent
of The Times says: King Alfonso is per-
| fectly satisfied of the gool faith of Prime
Minister Ferry, as representing the French
| government. The king does not admit for 8
minute that the spirit shown on Saturday by
the mob which was excited by false state
ments of the Anarchist agitators, repre-
sents the French nation. In abridging
| his stay il Paris by one-half the
time intended, tho king desires to
diminish the difficulties that have arisen
from his visit. The Marquis de la
Vega &c Armijo, the Spanish minister of for
| eign affairs, and the Spanish government en-
tirely agree with the decision Of the king to
| leave Paris"
Alfonso was quite unaware of his appoint
ment to the colonelcy of the Uhlan regiment,
until he received it and his uniform simulta-
neously. The Emperor William intended the
appointment as an agreeable surprise. He
would not lend himself to anything that
would be likely to excite prejudice against
one for whom he had taken an exceptional
bal 1r, with
the appointment.
Alfonso and the Duke of Connaught ex-
changed visits Sunday. President Grevy
went reluctantly to the depot Saturday to
greet King Alfonso, but if his manner ap-
peared cold his words were cordial.
HcNORED AT HOME.
MADRID. Oct 1.-The correspondent of
The Times says: THE hostile reception ac-
corded to Alfonso in Paris has considerably
increased his prestige at home. His personal
courage and discretion; his digniied bearing
during his progress through the streets of
Paris, and his visit to President Grevy'S resi-,
dence at the Elysee without escort, are sub,
jects of general eulogium and of admiration
by the Spaniards."

incensed over the insults offered King

the streets, and insulted Frenchmen, and
openly threatened the French embassy. The
police, however, prevented any violence.
Senor Monet, at a meeting of the Democratic
club declared the insults offered the king af
fected the whole Spanish nation, which
would stand by its king. His utterances
were received with loud cheering.
Marshal Serrano telegraphed Senor Can
ovaS a1 (;aCtiIlo that tha rauSa of monarchy
demanded his presence in Madrid. Officers
of the garrison also held meeting at which
strong speeches against France were d.
ivered.
PARIS, Oct. 1.-Alarming reports prevail
that the Spanish cabinet will demand that
the French government make a public
apology for the insults offered Alfonso, and
the German government will make diplo-
matte remonstrance at the indignities to
which the Spanish king was subjected. The
Radicals violently attacked President Grevy
and Prime Minister Ferry for the course
they have pursued in the matter. The cabi-
net is divided in opinion as to it's policy.
PARIS, Oct. liking Alfonso and suite have
left this city on their return to Spain. There
was no demonstration by the popuiace on
their departure
The journals here continue to condemn the
conduct of the populace towards King AL
fonso, pointing out especially that they were
playing into the hands of Bismarck.
The Journal Official publishes the fact that
President Grevy apologized to King Alfonso
for the outrage of Saturday.
All the French ministers were present at

dor to France, escorted the king to the rail-
way station

sense, dignity and coolnsss in SO young a
sovereign.
