S.-rhe Duke, during his late travels, I contrivea and prepared p very bonourable and agreeable surprise for the officers who aecompanied his father in 1809, in his glonious ex. pedition fromn Bolhemnia to the. Weser, where he embarked for Eng land, with his troops who afterwards fought in Spain. uImnediate- ly after his return, they received a gold cross entwined with laurel, and inscribed with the words" P Fur Treice ind Redlichkeit, 1809," i and a silver medal ornamented with the trophies and with the word " Peninsula." 'Duke-William has alao returned from his travels, and the two brothera now live together in the Palace.

In 1817 the expenditure amountedtonnore than 830,000,000 (and now tiey are increased), which \will make the annual deficiency 090,000,000 reals. WVho, after this, will give any countenance to the royalty loan which is now puffing ofiin Paris, and which isonly a sltare for the credulity of thone capitalists who are sufficiently con- fident te trust it?-Cos,stitntionnel.
