LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Four 'oelock.
Our foreign express, arrived this morning, brings
Paris letters and papers of Saturday.
Oa Saturday the conflict between the Paris journals
of each party was continued, the mutual charge of
division in the respective camps being reiterated.
There is, however, this difference, that the Opposition
disavows any difference of opinion which can prevent
their co-operation, while the dissention in the Minis..
feria] party is flagrant and undeniable. Not to
mention the vital opposition between the two sections
of the Conservatives, whose opinions are expressed by
the Journal des Drbats and La Prow (an opposition
which has risen to the pitch of undissembled acrimony),
the discordant views of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and the Minister of the Interior, on the
marriage question, are perfectly known. A sort
of programe of the course which will be taken by
the dynastic opposition on the marriage question was
given in a leading article of the Constetutionnel on
Saturday. According to that journal, the opposition
will contend that every really national object might
have been attained, not only without any rupture
with the British cabinet, but with its full concurrence,
. . .

by the marriage of the Queen with her present hus-
band ; and moreover, that the family views of Louis
Philippe might have been ultimately gratified by post-
ponitig the Montpansier marriage natal a direct heir to
the Spanish crown should be declared. This, accord-
in; to the Opposition, was the obvious course to have
pursued, and is probably not very different from that
which M. Duchatel, and those who think with him,
would have counselled. Such will undoubtedly be
the main grounds of attack against M. Guizot, so far
as relates merely to the marriage question, in refer-
ence to the negotiation out of which the international
quarrel has arisen; but the force at the attack will
be made to rest upon the more popular grounds of the
seizure of Cracew, the probable influence of the ab-
solutist courts in Switzerland, and the discourage-
ment of the progress of liberal principles in Italy;
all of which will be ascribed to the dissensions pro-
duced between the Cabinets of France and England
giving encouragement to the northern powers.
A considerable fall took place on the Bourse on
Friday, ahem much agitation prevailed owing to
rumours which obtained currency respecting the pro-
bable proceedings of the Spanish Cortes, in reference
to the Infanta Dona Luisa. Ono report was that a
resolution would be passed recognising expressly the
rights of inheritance of the Infanta; another was
that M. Bulwer had sought to raise a party in
the Cortes in favour of a declaration, suppressing
the rights of the Duchess of Montpensier, and decree-
ing that. in the event of the death of the Queen with-
out children, the Cortes should choose the King of
Spain among the other members of the royal family. '
M. Dufanre, one of the leaders of the opposition, more
Radical still than M. Thiers, had on Saturday a long
conference with M. Guizot. Lord and Lady Nor-
manby gave a grand entertainment on Friday even-
ing, at the hotel of the British Embassy, at which a
great number of the members of the Chambers were
present—among others M. Thins, who was accom-
panied by his lady. M. Guizot was not present.
A totter appeared in the Augsburg Gazette, datrd
Berlin, 4th Jan.. which says that the declaration of
the three northern courts, in answer to the British
and French protestation, is ready, and only waits for
the examination of the Prussian Cabinet. The de-

claration will be identical in substance, but not com-
mon it will be addressed to the representatives of
the three powers at London and Paris, authorising
them to communicate copies to the British and French
Cabinets. It will be very brief, stating neither mo-
tives nor arguments.
Preparations were in progress at Paris for the
royal session on Monday. The Deputies were to
hold a meeting at the Palais Bourbon on Sunday to
appoint the deputation to receive the royal foully.
All the general officers in Paris were summoned to
attend en !gawk, tenue in the Court of the Tuileries
on Monday morning, to accompany the Kin",g who
was to have the 'Tuileries at one o'clock for the
Chamber. _ .

Thomas Wyse, M.P., arrived in Paris.
M. Odillon Barret arrived in Paris from Africa on
Wednesday,
On Thursday Mr. C. Grevillo arrived in Paris,
having, as was reported and generally believed, a po-
litic-al mission from London. On Friday he had a
long interview with M. Guizot, at the Hotel of
Foreign Affairs, and in the evening passed some
hours in conference with M. Thiers. On Saturday he
was with Marshal Soult. From the connection of
this gcnth man with the English ministry, it may be
easily imagined what a cloud of conjectures these
visits have given rise to. He was to have been enter-
tained on Sunday at dinner by M. Thiere.
'lle pressure on the financial interests and com-
merce, and the embarrassment produced by the drain
of specie consequent upon the large importations of
corn, have given rise to a movement which, if carried
out, will produce a most material change in the
Currency of France. At present the paper issue of
the Bank of France is limited to notes; of 300 fr.,
1,000 fr., and upwards. It is proposed now, as is
reported, to bring the paper currency in France into
closer analogy with that of England, by authorising
the bank to issue notes for 100 fr. and 250 fr.; and it
is even said that a Iffiirithtfriw Object is to be brought
before the Chambers.

depu had arrived, and the number was inereasing
daily. The subject which engrossed public attention
was still the arrestation and imprisonment of M.
Olozaga. The Progressista party intended, it is said,
to abstain from voting on the question of his admis-
sion. M. Olozaga himself had prepared a petition to
the Chamber requiring to be set at liberty, and sent
back to France. M. Bustamente, the counsal of
Bayonne, who had signed his passport, was replaced
by M. Potestad.
Government had been informed of the landing of a
great quantity of arms in Spain, but the party for
whom they were intended was not discovered.
It was said in Paris en Saturday, that intelligence
had been received from Madrid that the father of M.
Olozaga had died there on the night on which he re-
cetved intelligence of his son's arrest. The Marquis
dc Viluma took his seat as President of the Senate on
the 2nd.

The Cellists appear to be in high spirits and full
of confidence in their success. For several days
troops have been passing through Burgos for the
Basque provinces.
Being Sunday, the Bourse was closed.

We publish in another page accounts from Por-
tugal, with the letters of our Lisbon correspondent to
the tith inst. At this date it was apparent that the
prospects of the revolution were at a very low ebb.
Saldanha had driven Das Antos from Coimbra:
Schwalbach was in full march upon Evora, which
would submit; the guerillas were returning to their
homes, and the insurrectionist forces going over to the
Queen's army.

ELorEmENT IN MOD Dm—The elopement of
the lion. Miss Lister, eldest daughter of the late Lord
Ribbleadee and the late Lady John Russell, and Mr.
Maurice Drummond, third sun of Mr. Charles Drummond,
the opulent banker, and nephew of the Earl of Auckland,
has created a sensation in Leshiunablu circles. The young
couple were intimate from childhisid, and it was known to
both families that a warm attachment existed. Lord
John Remelt, rtep•father to the young lady, did not
positively discourage the addresses of the suitor, but
advised a more mature consideration, and mentioned
the youth of both parties as the only obstacle. Since
then they have oectseunally met, and no doubt, from what
has transpired, availed themselves of e trey opportunity to cor-
respond. On Friday, shortly before 6 o'clock, the lion. Miss
Lister left the home of her guardian, and her absence was
not ascertained until just before dinner time, when inquiries
among the domestics proved fruitless, as the youthful lady
had departed unobserved by any of the establishment. The
fugitives, it would appear, bent their course so the Con-
tinent, and a clue having been obtained, the Messrs. Rubt.
and Charles Drummond, brothers of Mr. M. Drummond,
proceeded in quest of the poetizes, who were discovered in
France, and immediately brought back to this country. We
have been reqnested to insert the following,—The Hon.
Miss Lister, sister of Lord Ribblesdale, will be marrie-I in a
few days to Mr. Maurice Drummond, son of Charles Drum-
mond, Esq., of Stratton-street, Piccadilly.

Sir William llillary, Bart., expired at his nisi-
dense, Woodville, in the Isle of Man, some days sine?, aged
seventy-ei At years. On the renewal of the war with France,
in 1802, Sir Willian raised, at his own expense, and many
years commended, the Ist PAW'S Legion of Infantry and
Cavalry, amounting to 1,400 men, the largest force then
offered by any private individual for the defence of the
country. Ile expended in this cause upwards of 20,0001. of
his patrimony, and in consideration of this and other merito-
rious services. the dignity of • baronet of the United King-
dom was conferred upon him in 1805, by the personal direc-
tion of King Georg., 111. In early life Sir William was
equerry to his Royal Highneu the Duke of Sussex, whose
filendihip he continued to enjoy up to the period of his
Royal Highness's death. Sir William was one of the oldest
magistrates of the island; and the Tower of Refuge, on St.
Mary's Rock, in the harbour of Douglas, one of the most
beautiful and useful erections in the kingdom, was suggested
by him and principally built at his expense. He was twice
married—first, to Frances Elizabeth, eldest daughter and co-
heiress of the late L, Disney Fytche, Esq., of Flinthana-ball,
Nett.: and, second, to Emma, youngest daughter of the
late F. Tobin, Esq., one of the sleemsters of the Isle of
Man. ky his first wife he left an oni% eon, Augustus
William, Late of the 6th Dragoon Guards, who succeeds as
second baronet.

We regret to announce the death of George Byng,
Req., M.P.,who expired yesterday, at Wrotham-H all, Middle.
sex, at the advanced age of eighty-two. Mr. Byng was father of
the House of Commons, havin4 ei.tered parliament in 1790,
and never ceased to represent the metropolitan county up to
the moment of his decease. He was returned to sixteen suc-
cessive parliaments, and sat as member for Middlesex for
tifty-six years. Mr. Byng merrier!, early in life, Harriet, the
eighth daughter of Sir William Montgomery, Bart., and sister
to Anne, Marchioness of Towcshend ; but, dyingchildless, he
is succeeded in his estates by Lord Strafford. Mr. Byng
throughout his political life was an honest and consistent
Liberal.
