bye the audacious act winch has been perpetrated in
the north. Friends of peace and progress are even
'sanguine in their hopes, that the course which events
have taken may lead to a more express, formal, and
enduring alliance than the implicit pact so long
known as the entente eordiak.
Those parties in France who have hitherto chiefly
opposed and disparaged the alliance, have been
brought to give their adhesion to it by the
present emergency. Any obstacle, therefore,
which its realization may have to encounter
can now exist only on the other aide of the channel.
MM. Thiers and Barrot are as ardent in its favour
as ever were M. Guizot and his friends; and the cry
on every hand is, that the great politl interests of
the two countries ought not to be sacrificed to the
comparatively. small question which roducedg the
recent dissension in reference to the Spanish con-
nexion.
A report has been mentioned in our 'mot cones

situation of the Queen of Sian. Such a u sta
thnce
would aid in smoothing away the obstacles to e
restoration of a good understanding between the
oonntries.
In reply to one of the London jounials, which still
expresses suspicion of the good faith of the French
government, the Journal des Debuts says :
There is a very simple way of dispelling these doui;ts.
If the French government had any share in the destruction
of the republic of Cracow it will not have the face to protest,
in common with England against an act with which it has
been associated. It will turn away and reserve itself for a
separate protestation. Let its good faith be put to the proof;
let England propose to anise with it in a common protestation.
If the French ministry draws back or stammers out bad res.
sons for its refusal, we will be the first to condemn it. Surely
the misunderstanding of France and England is a danger for
the whole world; it is a misfortune for civilisation, for liberty,
and for humanity. If it be true that the mere
rumour of a coldness between France and England bas
canoed the fall of the republic of Cracow, must not all
' enerous minds on the one and the other aide of the channel
I hasten to efface even the appearance of this fatal coldness.
There are in the world only two principles : First, that of
force, of whisk the northern courts declare themselves the
organs ; secondly, that of right, which has no representatives
capable of makiag it respected except France and England
united.
The statement in the English journals of Monday,
that Count St. Anlaire has been recalled from Lon-
don, is officially contradicted. That minister will re-
turn to his post, to resume his functions as before.
The Bey of Tunis visited all the ministers on Mon-
day, and held with M. Guizot a private conversation
of some length, at which Mustapha Kasnadar and the
Chevalier Rafo only were permitted to be present. In
the evening he was entertained by the King at dinner
at St. Cloud.
The Infanta Isabella Ferdinanda de Bourbon ar-
rived in Paris on Saturday from Brussels, her usual
place of abode, and proceeded directly to the Palace
of the Elysee Bourbon. On Sunday she was received
by the King at St. Cloud.
The favourable effect of the accordance exhibited by
the contents of the London journals of Monday be-
tween the public in London and in Paris on the Cra-
cow affair, and the probability of a re-establishment
i of the good understanding between the countries by
means of that question was more apparent at the
Bourse on Wednesday, where every species of security
underwent an increase of price as compared with the
preceding days.
The 3 per Cents., as well as the 5 per Cents., rose

The Madrid journals of the 19th, with oar private
correspondence, have reached, us in due course.
To judge by the activity displayed by the different
factious, the struggle at the coming elections will be
severe. The Conservative candidates for Madrid are
MM Mon. Fidel. Martinez de la Rosa, Perez., Povar,
Perales, Marquis de la Gaviria, Campoamor, and
others. The candidates of the Opposition are MM.
Pachecho, Salamanca, Mocedal, Pastor Dias, Seijas,
Llorente.
At Cordova the contest will be sharp ; M. Pachecho,
chief of the Conservative Opposition in the Chamber
of Deputies, presents himself on the one side,
and Count de Torres Cabrera, formerly Alcade of
Cordova, a wealthy landed-proprietor, on the other.
Both have issued addresses to the electors, and a
lively polemio has begun on the subject in the Tiempo
and Imparcial.
The 19th being the Queen's fete, a court was held,
and a grand ball given in the evening.
No news hid been received from Portugal.
Owing to the fete of the Queen the Bourse was
closed on the 19th.

FRANCE.—BEY OF TUNIS.—We read in the
Presse, relative to the presentation of the Bey of Tanis, at
the Tuileries: "The Turkish Ambassador claimed the right
of himself presenting his Highness to the King, as be had
done in the case of Ibrahim l'aaha. Oa the present occa-
sion the claim could not be listened to ; for, as France had
been iu direct relation with the Beys of Tunis for ages, and
had often concluded with them treaties and conventions, she
considered the present Bey as a Sovereign Prince. In fact,
everywhere the honours due to reigning Princes are paid to
the Bey."
EMEUTE IN BOULOGN&—For some time past there
have been considerable shipments of lean cattle, sheep, poultry,
and potatoes from this port for England. In consequence,
the markets have been forestalled and the price very much
increased. The authorities have received several remon-
strances upon the subject, but the love of gain has hitherto
induced them to turn a deaf ear to the complaints of the
people. On Wednesday a steam-vessel (the Wallace)
came into port specially chartered and fitted up for the con-
veyance of lean heifers, sheep, and potatoes—the heifers
about 30 in number, were tied up to the chains alongside
the quay, and opposite to the steam-boat ; the sheep were
close by, and the potatoes in sacks piled upon the
wharf. Part of the latter were shipped, and the sailors
were proceeding to complete the cargo when a crowd
assembled around them, (this was about four o'clock
in the afternoon). As the mob increased they became
very noisy, and exhibited strong symptoms of resisting
the loading of the vessel, vociferating loudly against
the baseness of those who were engaged in the traffic. It was
in vain that the douanier guard endeavoured to disperse
them. They crowded the quays, and fell to work upon the
sacks of potatoes fromwh ich theyhelped themselvesplentifully.
The port was covered with increasing numbers, and the poorer
inhabitants of Boulogne were as fast as they could proceed-
ing to join the tumult. The mayor, sub-prefect, and bar-
bour•master, with their respective officers, hastened to the
spot, and used their, best endeavours to quell the riot by
' persuasive means, but in this attempt they were baffled by
the fish-women, and others of their sex, who hemmed
them into a circle, and fairly bullied them into
a fearful state of apprehension. In this alarming
condition, with a dense mob of the lowest orders
about them, they sent for the troops of the line from barracks,
and called out the National Guard. A double file of the
former soon arrived upon the spot, and proceeded to form
around the bags of potatoes; but the crowd, no way in-
timidated, proceeded to hustle the soldiers, who bore their
pressure and abuse for sometime with great forbearance; and
not until the captain's face was covered with mud, and
the sub-prefect struck with a atone, did they offer
to oppose with force of arms. Twice they presented bayonets,
but the commanding officer, fearing the result, withdrew
the command. They then attempted to take some of the
most active of the mob prisoners ; but no sooner had they
captured one, than a desperate rush was made upon
them by the women, and the man was invariably rescued.
A humorous scene now diverted the multitude during the
onset with the soldiers, who were protecting the shipment of
the potatoes—a portion of the crowd had cast the whole line
of heifers loose, and were driving them at a furious rate
back into the town, followed by the mayor and the troops.
However, the mob kept possession of the cattle, and suc-
ceeded in driving them towards the Upper Town, where
they were met by a body of police, who endeavoured
to turn them back again by the way they had
come, but in this they were defeated: for the peo-
ple, finding they could not gain the Haut Pale,
turned off by the Tantilleries, and so avoided a conflict. One
poor beast, who was separated from the rest on the quay,
was twice pushed over the side into the water of the port,
and was eventually rescued by the sailors of an English
coal brig, who slung sonic tackle round its horns as it was
swimming, and hoisted it on to the land again. The mob now
retired from the port into the public streets, and proceeded to
sing their national songs, accompanied with great shouting and
the breaking of lamps and windows. The drum is now beat-
ing to arms, the National Guard (by no means in a hurry)
arc mustering in the Fish-market, and the Rue de l'Eui and
the adjoining streets are filled with soldiers, and people of all
orders, who seem to approve of the acts of the multitude, and
speak of them as a bon ouvrage. I hear that they intend to
try and ship the cattle about two in the morning,
just before high tide ; if they do so I apprehend a very for-
midable resistance, and I fear bloodshed. The lower classes
of Bouloz,ne are very much disposed for mischief, and I do

not wonder at it when I 'more you that potatoes are nearly
three times the price they would otherwise be were it not
for the large exportations of' them to England. The trades-
peopl:e are equally well disposed to stop the traffic of shipping
provisions to England, as it greatly increases the price of all
such articles of consumption as are exported. An express
has been sent to Paris by the mayor, and it is expected that
an order will come down from the government to suspend
the traffic in articles of food for the present. Ten o'clock at
night.—All is now quiet ; the authorities are on the
a alert e
;
the guard is under arms ; and I hope the fair
may. end where it is ; but I doubt it. Except
the injury done to the sub-prefect by a stone, Ido n hear
of any other serious disaster. Thursday Morninu is
quiet at present: the two steam-boata, the Wallace and
Britannia are still here ; they have not since attempted to
ship the cattle (of whom three were killed in the affray of
last night). Six hundred sheep, intended for exportation,
have been stepped about two miles off. Troops have been
sent for from St Omer. C:msiderable damage was done last
night to the house of the mayor and the wind° s of three
or four other persons.
SPAIN.—The Phare de Bayonne of 21st instant
says, Oeneral Floret arrived on the 11th, at Nitta:, and left
the same day for Santander, where he is to embark for his

country.
A letter from Catalonia of the 19th says : A band
of forty armed Carlists presented themselves at Oriole, a Nil.
lege between Girone and Figuieres ; they were immediately
pursued by the troops.

_ As. rAttLANDS.—TRE HAGUE, Nov. 24.—The
Netherlands Stoats Courant publishes officially the treaty
of commerce and navigation concluded at St. Petersburg on
the 13th of September last, between the Netherlands and
Russia. It fills eleven columns of the journal.
The Grand Duke of Schwerin has just addressed
the following rescript to the head of the Israelite congrega-
tions:—"ln answer to the petition of the bead of the
Israelite community which was presented to us on the
24th of March this year, we inform him by these presents
th.at we shall be in future, as we have hitherto been, always
rea,iy to favour with the greatest goodwill everything that
may contribute to the amelioration of the condition of the
fsraelh'es in our cot.nti7, and that we shall invite the
cooperation of the States on this subject. The head of the
Israelite .community may judge how much we have at heart
the welfare' of our Israelite subjects by the annexed copy of
the edict by which we have just suppressed, after Midsum-
pier, 1847, th,• annual tax hitherto paid by the Israelites.—
Wren at Sehw erin. Nov. 9,1846."
ITALY.—T.he Pontifical Government, according. to
it letter from Rona e, has appointed consuls for the principal
porta of Turkey, a. ad intends to send to Constantinople •
diplomatic agent to i negotiate a treaty, by which more effec-
tual security would
be given to the Christian subjects of
the Sultan in the eau, 'lse of their religion.
AUSTRIA.—IYSB. RUCK
(TYROL), Nov. 17.—A
considerable increase of t lat 7 on the exportation of corn and
lour was imposed on th e 16th, on the whole frontier of
Tyrol and Voralberg. Tht s measure regards Switzerland.
VIENNA, Nov, 10.—A new law is expected shortly
' for redeeming the meet,' in Galicia. The bourse showed
more firmness. The opinions
of the English and French
journals on the incorporation of Cracow was anxiously ex-
petted. Lord Ponsonby is said to have received the com-
munication without replying one word.
The Li Clams Gazette contai, la the following letter,

the supposition ; all was silent as the t.
made persons think that on the 11th of *
mil., which, however,
September, the fate
of the constitution would not be celebri tted as usual. But
last night the report was suddenly spread without, however,
being credited, that the republic was to h annexed to Aus-
tria on the morrow ; and this did actual. 'y
take place this
morning. Thousands were present at the solemnity. It is
remarkable that in the proclamations not one word is said
about England or France in speaking of the treaties. What-
ever may result from this event, it can not b e salutary, and
it is to be feared that in • few days the prior of all indis-
pensable articles will rise considerably."
BAVARIA.—The King of Bavaria, in et msidemtion
of the present high prices of provisions, has malt an increase
of 20 per cent. upon the salaries of all person. ; employed
under the government, and of the performers and other
persons engaged at the court theatre of Munich.
GERMANY.—FRANKFORT, Nov. 21.—We .e learn
that the Prussian General Post-office is about formic .g • ge-
neral German postal convention, in order to bring about
an agreement to impose one uniform rate of postage on all
the German States. For this purpose it is proposed to ;Jere
all German Postoffices under a central administration.
Nov. 22.—We have received from different quart.?ri,
accounts of the impression made all over Germany by this
resolution of the three powers for the incorporation of tile
Republic of Cracow with the Austrian empire. Letters
from the Russian capital say that the news had caused a
panic on 'Change, and that, all the funds which had latterly
rieen a little, had fallen considerably. Accounts from
Vienna, of the 18th, are of the same tenor. This state of
uncertainty has had an unfavourable effect on various
branches of commerce. Thus a latter from Hanover,
of the 17th of November, says the uncertain state of
things at present has, we are sorry to say, a very
unfavourable influence on our manufactures, and espe-
cially the jewellers complain that their commissions are
much inferior to what they usually are at this season of the
year. There is, unfortunately, but little prospect that
matters will be better in the succeeding year..
STurromto, Nov. 19.—The Chamber of Commerce
in this city, in a report to the Minister of Finance, has stated
the disadvantages of the commercial convention between
Holland and Belgium, to the manufactures of the states of
the Zollverein, and requesting that measures may be taken
to put an end to those disadvantages, particularly by im-
posing differential duties on Dutch colonial produce.
The Frankfort Gazette, of the 23rd instant, says,
that it will shortly publish an impartial article on the pre-
tended violation of the treaties of Vienna. It says that it
regards the incorporation of Cracow as a natural consequence
of the flagrant violation of the integrity of the Austrian
empire by the advance of armed insurgents from Cracow into
the territory of Galicia.
LEMBERG.—Three instigators of the late insurrec-
tion (the two Princes W— and the emissary B—) have had
their sentence read to them, which condemns them to ten
years' imprisonment. They have been already conveyed to
the Fortreis of Kufetein.
CRACOW.—Count Devm, imperial commissary, has
appointed M. Niemann ae Palmrode actual president, to
superintend the provisional administration of the city; but
nothing has transpired of future arrangements It is pre-
sumed that Cracow will remain • free city, like Brody.
TOE EtnE, Nov. 13.—A union between the
royal houses of Sweden and Prussia is not viewed favourably
by the Russian and Danish cabinets. At Copenhagen they
would have liked to see Sweden join them against Germany.
They overlook that Sweden desires the re-establishment of
Scandinavian unity, which it is not the interest of Germany
to oppose. The cause of the duchies of Schleswig and Hol-
stein, the German nationality of which cannot be questioned,
would be a considerable gainer if the Scandinavian faction
carried the day. The Scandinavians find their most ener
getic opponent at St. Petersburg, whose interest it is to keep
the North disunited, and who aims at the domination of the
Baltic. To this Prussia and Sweden are regarded as great
obstacles.
