London, July 13,

Louis Bonaparte, we suppose, will immediately quit Holland. This may surprise some, who observe, that he has nominated his wife regent, and his son his successor, as they must necessarily be in Holland, it would appear natural that he should remain with them. But those argue in this way, do it under the belief that he and his wife have lived together and that he considers her children as his own. The fact is; that they never have lived together-- that the marriage was forced upon him by his brother--that from that time they have never resided together.-- Lately when both were at Paris, on the occasion of Bonaparte's marriage, Louis lodged at his mother's hotel, and his wife at another. Her children have always been considered as the children of Bonaparte. and not of Louis.-- Hence Louis, in resigning the crown. said--."I give it to you, Napoleon Bonaparte, and to yours.--to your son who passes for mine, and to my wife, by whom you had this son."
