A ROYAL SCANDAL.
The following is an account given of the cause of the royal rupture in Spain :— King Alfonso is said to have allowed himself to be subjugated by the charms of a remarkably beautiful young marquise, who, not being possessed of virtue in proportion with her charms, failed to repel the passion with which she had inspired her royal lover. The Queen dis« covered them together.. The lady fled with the utmost precipitation, and the King, exasperated by this unceremonious upsetting of his arrangements, so far for* got himself as to administer a slap to her Majesty. On her return to the Palace the latter openly announced her determination to leave Midrid, and subsequently left on a visit to Paris and Vienna. The matter has since been settled, and Her Majesty has returned to her home.
