" I beg you to he my interpreter to your uncle, the Duke of Lienster, of my sentiments for his obliging inquiries. " But I have another message to you which how. ever, I have already entrusted to M. Guziot. I desire however, to have it repented in as many ways as possible, inasmuch it conit-s fiom my heart and my mental convictions It is to let Sir Robe t Peel and Lord Aberdeen know how gi icved I am at their quitting ihe Cabinet, and that I inn the more so, because I had entertained the hope ot seeing Iheir mnustiy concur longer with mine in the support and perpoualion o(" th.it entente coidtulc wh eh tiny have so efficaciously contributed to found, and whirh ha* been so neij cemented by the personal relations and aflVctions it permitted us to ebtahhsli. 1 trust, and this confidence is necessaiy, that tin st« sentiments will Le preserved, whatever may be the utifotseen fluctuations of the future. They wll always be the means of lepairing those evil chances that we may not have been able to foresee. " Tell Loid Aberdeen that I shall nlvvAyn preserve for him those feelings I rnieruined for him at the Chateiiu of Eu, iind that I nhill take every occasion of testifying to him th.it nothing can evei flfaee tliem. " Reckon always aUc, my dear Philip, oa those which 1 entertain for you. " Louis Philippe »' [The Count dc Jarnnc is godiou ot Louis Fhilipjie.]
