THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BOY "JONES," [From the Cork Southern Reporter.] We have been exclusively favored, by the above-named celebrated individual, with a report of the interview between her Majesty and Louis Philippe, at Buckingham Palace, on Friday last. Our "special" does not inform us at what particular hour the conversation lie details took place—that would be beneath the dignity of so extraordinary a Reporter—but plunges at once inmedias res. By the diction he employs, the assertion Aft t the boy Jones is an Irishman is, in our opinion, fully proved. Misthur Edithur.— My mother bein* a •Blackpool woman, I wish to give you the first news of what happened between Looev Fhihppe an* bet Majesty. I was behind a curtain lisienin'lo this dialog on Friday evemn' : .

But in my present pass, ses he, Anything of the kind, ses lie, 1 shouldn't much mind, ses he, Here a grand waythur, dressed all in goold, brought in the aytables, an* laid them on the table. Her Majesty helped Looey to some could ham, which he lucked in as if he hadn't lasted a bit siuse he left the Tooleyrees. By degrees be lost his appeytite, and found his tongue, but he did'nt like talkin' while the waythur was there, so he touched her Majesty, and B es he in an unduer tone ; Bid that flunkey go, se? he, And I*ll let you know, ses he, bout my ovc rtljrow, ses he. So the Queen made a sign with her hand, an* the flunkey tuk himself off with very bad graceas if he'd have liked to be lislemn. When the doore was shut, Looey went on—*Twas that Geezo, says he, That chap you knew, ses lie, YV hen you were at liu, "es be.

Here Looey stopped, and litlle Lord Johnny, who had been peepin* in at the doore, walked into the roome, just as the Queen who had caught sighte of bim put up her finger for him lo come in. Looey rose up to meet him : Ah! are you here, ses be, My little Premier, ses he, 'Gad, you're looking ill, ses he.
