PARIS, TRVIUIDAT EVI3IIIIO. et.
A number of Spaniards resident in Paris have isit
drawn up a protest against the article in the Davits,
depicting with much detail and on (alleged) good st
authority, scenes of extraordinary violence repro- pat
muted to hare passed between Queen Isabella and m
Marshals Espartero and O'Donnell, on the occasion let
of the Royal assent being obtained to the bill for the ;4

sale of ecc lesiutical property. The Spanish real- I iti
dents roundly accuse the Dam!: of having st.
fabricated the letter which it pretends to have 81*

received from Spain, and they deny positively that C
either of the Ministers threatened the Queen in any IN
way whatever. They admit that her Majesty, who t•
has been brought up as a fervent catholic, may have ;0"
felt a momentary hesitation about a law which m
appeared to her prejudicial to the church, but he- "A
tween this end the melodrama given by the Debate MC
there is all the difference between truab and false- -y4t•
hood. Had it been possible that the statesmen on aY
whom the welfare of Spain now mainly depends lon
could have conducted thermelves towards the Queen Ft
with such indecency as the Debate describes, the se
cioniequesoe, the Spanish residents say, would be that ri
Spain must roll down the abyss dug with her own to
hands, and this is what the Debate and its party
would desire to see. The protest was taken to the :
Patric this afternoon, but that journal refused o in- a
sort it. The Presse publishes a portion ot if, at the
same time expressing its own conviction that the as
story in the Delbals was a fable. Indeed, it appears to,
by a Madrid letter of May 5, that Marshal O'Donnell
had given an emphatic denial in the Cortes to similar to
reports which had circulated in the Spanish capital. as
la answer to a question put by a democratic member, to
M. Garcia Lopez, the Marshal said the rumours were
false and unfounded, as far as concerned the Queen at
and King, but that there were intrigues near the Iv
throne, which the government would know how to
defeat. to
There has been another very quiet day at the r,
Douro*. No poltti•al rumours WbiliteVer were fit at
circulation, and, with the exception of the announce- le,
meat in the Moniteur of the arrival in the Crimea ot fn
Gen. Marmon with the first division of the Sardinian 10

war. The Recite awed at 68fr. 5.5 c. (yesterday's so

A letter from Constantinople, in the Courrier els
Marseille, gives th • lollowing sketch of the new plan
of campaign said to be resolved on by the Allied
generals :
According to a generally malted rumour, the army of
Constantioople will land at Kalif*, where French frgatirs
have recently made a fresh reconnoiessnee. It is said to he
intended to attack the Russians in Bank, while General ic
Bouquet, art.t his ca.ips of observation, will arcs the Tcher- on.

Pianori yesterday signed an appeal to the Court of
Caseation against his sentence, and also a petition to et.
the Emperor for pardon. 1.6
