forgetting, apparently,—when he spoke of painting, for instance, or the opera,—that he cannot hope ever again to enjoy either of them. We finished the evening at Mad. de Broglie's, where we met Villemain; Duchatel, one of the ministers of Louis Philippe; with Guizot, Lady Elgin, and two or three others; besides Doudan and the d'haussonvilles, who are always there. It was a tres petite soiree, and very agreeable. . . . . January 10.—It was the first grand ball of the season to-night at tho call her Reine. Prince Musignano was there, and perhaps in the course of an hour twenty people came in, for it was her reception evening; but the whole, I suppose, was Bonapartist, for I happen to know that those who wish to stand well with Louis Philippe avoid her doors; a weakness on his part as great as that which, on hers, permits her to be called Queen. . . . . January 17.—I passed a large part of to-day with H. Ternaux, who was formerly in the United States, since which time he has b

Yankees, nowadays, seem to justify his wisdom, or sarcasm. Whereupon, I hold it judicious to sell out all bank, insurance, and other stocks, whether fancy or not, and live on mortgages and such small deer, till the succession of gales now blowing, and of political parties now fighting, are pretty much gone by, and things are settled down into some sort of peace and order; for, considering how much we are under the fluctuations of foreign affairs as well as domestic follies, and, taking Louis Philippe, the Chartists, the Northeastern Boundary, and the Southwestern bankruptcy, all into the computation, a close reef is better than a flowing sheet. Ye have what I advise, as Beelzebub said, braggingly, after he had counselled ignoble ease and peaceful sloth,—a parallel to my case, if you like so to call it. . . . . We are all well; my wife famously, and the bairns thrivingly. Whiggery is low. I never thought much of it, and now less than ever, since the Whigs have chosen a nullifier

op so long as I otherwise should have done, but came home to rest a little. It was lucky I did, for I was but just stretched on the sofa when I was called to the Duc de Broglie and Albert. They have been, as you know, to visit the family of Louis Philippe. . . .. The Duc is one of their counsellors, or, as the Duc d'aumale called him, this afternoon at Lady Holland's, the patriarch in their politics. They are only in town for a part of the day, so that I was really touched with their kindnessutiful country—which is found on almost all sides of London—to Twickenham, for a breakfast at the Duc d'aumale's. His place is called Orleans House, and is one of those rich old places that abound in England. It was once occupied by his father, Louis Philippe, and the Duc—who, you know, has the immense Conde fortune—has filled it up with rare and curious books, inherited pictures, manuscripts, etc., etc., all arranged with admirable taste, so that it is like a beautiful museum. This is insid

is. A pamphlet called The Voice of Famine, stating facts, though in a tone of vulgar and exaggerated declamation, was suppressed as soon as published. While Louis Philippe lives, the gases may not burst up to flame, but the need of radical measures of reform is strongly felt in France; and the time will come, before long, when thy with the great events that are transpiring. How much has happened since I wrote!—the resistance of Sicily, and the revolution of Naples; now the fall of Louis Philippe; and Metternich is crushed in Austria. I saw the Austrian arms dragged through the streets here, and burned in the Piazza del Popolo. The Italians embraced n the 14th, the Pope had invested him with the privileges of a Roman citizen: (he had renounced his country when an exile, and returned to it as ambassador of Louis Philippe.) This position he enjoyed but one day. Yesterday, as he descended from his carriage, to enter the Chamber, the crowd howled and hissed; then pushed him, and

formerly, owe all their misfortunes to a quality which had proved a crown of glory to the ancestor from whom they derived it?--We know not, in sooth; but in a late number of the Quarterly Review, we find an extract from a letter, addressed to Louis Philippe soon after his accession, by Ferdinand, (King Bomba,) father of Francis II., which is so exactly like the 'language habitually employed by James II. on such occasions, that one might almost venture to swear they were of kin.--Louis Philippe hLouis Philippe had written to Bomba, advising him to imitate France, and relax the rigor of his reign, for fear of being drawn into the vortex of revolution, symptoms of which had appeared in Naples. In reply, Bomba writes as follows: "Liberty is fatal to the House of Bourbon; and, as regards myself, I am resolved to avoid at all price, the fate of Louis XVI. and Charles X. My people obey force and bend the neck, but woe's me should they ever raise them under the impulse of those dreams which sound so fi

brilliant victories over the Russians — the manner in which he forced their shattered forces to retreat over the frontier — their return with enormous reinforcements — the battle of Ostrolenka — the breaking out of the cholera in the Russian army, who had brought it from the East--its rapid spread over Europe — the terror which it excited wherever it made its appearance — the treachery of Prussia in allowing the Russians to pass over the Vistula, in their territory — the base conduct of Louis Philippe, in receding from his avowed doctrine of non-interference — the siege of Warsaw — the inhuman conduct of Nicholas, in sending thousands of respectable families to Siberia — the complete subjugation of Poland, and the supposed extinction of its national life, by its absorption into the empire of Russia, in utter violation, not only of all justice and all humanity, but of the treaty of Vienna, which the crowned enemies of mankind affected to revere, and no doubt did revere, mo

to exercise upon minds which admire chivalry, candor and honesty. The ruler of a nation is generally considered its representative man, and especially is this the case in the United States, where the people elect their own rulers. This man, Lincoln, is President of our Northern Confederacy; he is our elect, our chosen one, made so by the will of our people, constitutionally expressed. Every Frenchman stands at least two inches higher in his boots under Louis Napoleon than he did under Louis Philippe, and every Englishman is as proud of Victoria as if she were his own mother or sister. Have not we Northern Americans a President to be proud of? Virginia, which produced George Washington, must find so picturesque a parallel in the leading characteristics of the Father of his Country and those of Father Abraham, that no one can wonder that she is determined to wait, before going out, at least till the end of Lincoln's Administration. He came to Washington as never President came

in favor of Greece. Upon the dissolution of the Wellington administration consequent upon the reform agitation, he went into the opposition, Jan. 16, 1830. He henceforward showed himself more than ever the irreconcilable enemy of every liberal proposition, and became the supporter of the pretensions of Don Miguel, whom while in power he had ridiculed, and of Don Carlos, whom he aided both in and out of Parliament. The most important act of his administration had been the recognition of Louis Philippe, saluted king of the French, after the memorable days of July. In the ministry formed by Peel and Wellington, which endured only for the vacation of 1834- '35, Aberdeen held the appointment of colonial secretary. When Peel took office, in 1841, Aberdeen received again the portfolio of foreign-affairs, and appeared to have learned that history tendencies were to be repressed rather than indulged. He supported Peel in repealing the corn laws, and retired with him on the ministerial chan

The remains of Louis Philippe. --In the sitting of the French Senate on Saturday, 8th June, a petition was read from a private individual, praying that the mortal remains of King Louis Philippe might be removed to France. Count de Beaumont observed that the committee was decidedly of opinion that a mere stranger was not entitled to petition for such an object, and that a member of the Orleans family could alone make the request.
