New Hampshire Statesman And State Journal

A Busy King. The European correspondent of the N. Y. Express, gives the following sketch of the French King.

Louis Philippe is perhaps, the hardest working man in his kingdom. He must see and do everything himself, and never retires before two o'clock in the morning. At 8 o'clock, he has read all the newspapers, police reports, &c. and enters the Cabinet to transact business with his Secretaries. The only exercise he takes, is now and then a drive in his carriage to Neuilly or Versailles; and even then he cannot be said to idle his time, for he inspects the works executing in the Palace or in the Historical Gallery, and sees that his directions have been attended to.

Amidst his regal perplexities, Louis Philippe does not lose sight of his own private fortune. He is an agriculturist, an iron founder, a wood merchant, a house-holder, a rent-owner, and some even say, a speculator in funds —to all which concerns he devotes himself with as much anxiety and assiduity as could be expected from a citizen. whose existence depended on his exertions and vigilance. Add to this the constant dread of assassination, the cares inseparable from his situation, anxious to see his dynasty seated on a solid basis: and finding it sapped by factions at home, and in danger from the rancour and aversions of Kings abroad. and his physical predisposition, you may easily conceive that his throne is no sinecure, and that his life may end by such a visitation.
