 III of England figured am5ng their
 creditors for the sum of $15.000,0 ,0G0, a
 colossal amount in those days More
 over, it was only q few years ago that Count Peruzzi made a spirited attempt to obtain from the British governme a sum of S10,0o0, ,000, in payment of money lent to this seIf-same king Of England away back in the fourteenth century. with the object of enabling him t0 invade France, and to win the victories of Greasy and POictiscs. The amount which the PeTuzzi leaned to King Edward was four million florins of that day, and if the late Count Per- uzzi expressed himself as willing to ac- cept 000G.0G0 in settlement Of the claims against the British crown, 1t was because he realized that the prin- cipaI of the loan with interest at per cent, compounded annually, would at the present time amount t0 mere than the value of the entire property and i personal wealth Of the ,cities of Lon i don and Liverpool.

It is the slme at the present moment, and if the duke Of Orleans ever carries the day. it will he entirely owing to the fnan- C.al backing and enterprise of young Count Castellane
 If the Icng promised Carlist reEolu- tica in Spain has net yet nlatsrialized. 1t is entirely owing to the fact that no milIiol aiEe has until now besn found to finance the scheme, and in the same way King Carlos would ere this have besn compelled to surrender eka- crown Of Portugal tCl the Legitimate pretend CT, Dom Miguel e BT9ganza, had he been able to find a financial packer like Count B5ni de Castellane There 1 are numerous causes of this kind i r turesOn2e muitimillionaira possessed of ! something more ttan 3 mere desire to place out his money a. safe and mod | crate interest, and who aims at play [ ing a role in the worlds politics.
