VICTOR EMMANUEL'S LEGACY.
Gens«al excitement prevails among the higher circles of Roman society with regard to the condition of the Countess Miraflore, the wife of King Victor Emmanuel by a morganatic marriage. The Countess, it appears was left almost totally unprovided for by the late King. In consequence, as it has now become known, she determined to make her claim not only to King Humbert, but also to the chief minister of his Government. In her declaration she states that the small annuity left-her by the late King, her husband, is in no way adequate to provide for herself and the two children, the issue of his marriage, in any way befitting their title and parentage. The tone of this demand has not met with any favor from King Humbert, who simply ordered the letter to be returned to the Countess, without any reply. It is also affirmed that Signor Cairoli has followed in the same course, and new it is rumored that the Countess meditates publishing facts that cannot avoid becoming a great and distinguished scandal.
