The fall of the Princesse des Ursins caused great changes in Spain. The Comtesse d'Altamire was named Camarera Mayor, in her place. She was one of the greatest ladies in all Spain, and was hereditary Duchess of Cardonne. Cellamare, nephew of Cardinal del Giudice, was named her grand ecuyer; and the Cardinal himself soon returned to Madrid and to consideration.
This was a precaution taken to meet anything that the Duc d'Orleans might call out from the bottom of the carriage; and, as the passport was according to rule, signed by the Prince de Cellamare, and "viséd" by Monsieur Voyer d'Argenson, there was no reason why the regent, once in the carriage, should not arrive safely at Pampeluna, when all would be done.
"'Protestation of the nobility." "Make your lists, monseigneur, you are not the only one, you see the Prince de Cellamare has his also."
He explained the orders he had given so as to inform all the foreign ministers in Paris of what had occurred, and had ordered Dubois to render an account to the council of what he had done at the ambassador's, and offered to read the letters from Cellamare to Cardinal Alberoni, found among the papers brought from Poitiers.

"Is it known what has become of the Prince de Cellamare?" asked D'Harmental. "He is sent to Orleans, in a chaise and four, in the company of a gentleman of the king's household, and an escort of a dozen light horse." "And is nothing known about the paper which Dubois picked out of the cinders?" asked Brigaud. "Nothing." "What does Madame de Maine think?"
"You see, prince," cried the duchess, addressing Cellamare, with an accent full of ambitious joy, "everything favors us." "Yes," replied the prince; "but these four gentlemen, influential as they are, are not all that we must have. There are Laguerche-Saint-Amant, Les Bois-Davy, De Larochefoucault-Gondral, Les Decourt, and Les d'Erée, whom it would be important to gain."
Assure her royal highness, who does not dare to believe it, that this is from his own hand." "It is," said Cellamare. "And to whom is it addressed?" asked Madame de Maine, taking it from the prince's hands. "To the king, Louis XV., madame," said the latter. "Good!" said the duchess; "we will get it presented by the Marshal de Villeroy. Let us see what it says."
"And from whom do you get these papers?" "From a poor writer to whom they have been given to be copied, since, thanks to a descent made on Laval's house, a press which he had hidden in the cellar has ceased to work." "And this writer is in direct communication with Cellamare? The idiots!" "Not at all, monseigneur; their measures are better taken.
