MADRID, SEPT. 24.
The object of the ministerial paper hap been lat-
terly to prove that no other government can rule the country
safely but the present one; and to insinuate that both the
convocation of the Cortes and the dissolution are equally
perilous, as risking the translation of power to the hands of
one of two parties, both of which it stigmatises in its number
of to-day la dam terms " There are, in truth, two parties
which threalas the 'murky of the crown, the one powerful
lintimeell= it is supported by Prance, and the other
it is supported, it appeals, by England,"
retlinsialifintgasge of this sort it would appear to be the in-
linghent Oa prossat government to establish a juste-milieu
under the pretence that the security of the
gegget= such a violation of the constitution. It really
art a little arrogant in a knot of seven men, who are
disevrsed by all parties, and with one or two exceptions can
lay as little claim to the qualities necessary for governing a
nation as any knot of the same number who take their ices
together in the Cafe Suisse, assuming that they constitute
the only possible key-stone that can hold Spain together,
and thus majestically swallowing the oyster while they
present • shell a piece to the two great conflicting in-
terests. There is • sort of ill-omened fatuity about
the levity with which the present ministry seems to regard
legal and constitutional cowries, which makes one fear that
they are blind to the fact that the surest guarantee of the
throne of Isabel 11. lies in a sacred regard for the constitu-
tional rights of the people. If the ministers contemplate
entrenching themselves in a dictatorship behind that throne,
they can take no step which will more certainly lead to the
infusion of dangerous subversive revolutionary principles in
those classes who are at present enthusiastically loyal, and
the very demonstration of whose loyalty, on • recent occasion,
seemed to inspire the authorities with apprehension. If
their acclamations were fearful, will their murmurs be lees
so ? But not to speak of the populace, the most moderate
organs of the liberal press, in presence of these ill-boding
dam, confess, 'es well as the moderados, the danger which
menaces the throne.
The new system of civil administration devised by Senor
Esoosura is expected to appear in one of the earliest Ga.
:Mee. According to the Faro, the Minister of the Interior
has had to yield before the opposition of Salamanca, who ob-
jected to the suppression of the intendenclas ; so that the
new governors-general will only have the authority at pre-
sent held by political chiefs, although exercised in a more
extensive sphere. In the new organisation there will he
three cusses of officials. 1. Governors-general of districts,
equal in number to the captains-general, being, in fact, the
civil rank corresponding to that military authority. 2. Po-
litical chiefs of provinces, who are to take the name of civil
governors. 3. Sub-delegates in the leading provincial towns,
who will enjoy a salary of from 14 to 16 thousand reals.
On the night of the 20th an Altra-moderado meeting of
twenty-five persons, nearly all officials, took place in Valen-
cia. These gentlemen, considering themselves the apostles of
the modendo party, of which they only represent the Faro
friction, agreed to appoint a committee with a view to the
election of a body to be called, " Political Committee of the
province of Valencia," whose appointed task will be to offer
the most systematic opposition and carry on the most un-
compromisii g war against all governments, whose misisters
an not of their (that is the Faro) way of thinking. Among
the persons named to form the committee were Senores
Moron, Castillo, Company, Calve, Marco, and Valterra.—
Clamor.
The Erpectador reports that Nervier has begun with fresh
precipitation a round of farewell visits to friends, being on
the point of returning to his embsaiy et Paris.
The Popular of last night, on the strength of aletter which
it publishes, and attributes to a Carlist officer of Bordeaux,
denounces a progrcsista conspiracy for the assassination of
Nervier, and intrigues of Lord Palmerston for putting
Montemoliti upon the Spanish throne, corroborating the
latter accusation with what it understands as the Carlist tone
taken by the Chronicle.

MACHINE NUISANCE.—One of those' small fulminating
bombe, which have of late been so frequently spoken of, ex-
ploded on the evening of the 28th, in front of the Theatre
Bisterique. As usual, a number of bits of paper were im-
mediately scattered about, which the crowd hmtened to
pick up. On each wags printed—" Let us commit acts of in-
cendiaries, until there be no further opposition to a just
division of land and crape"

OP-BATTLE SHIP.—A 12tin ship, the Valray, was
launched at Brest, on the 25th inst. An immense crowd
was assembled on the ommion, and at half-past three the
noble vessel, dressed out with flags and green branches,
glided into the water amidst tb• loudest acclamations. The
night of this gigantic amain is calmiated at 2,500,000

kilogrammes.

It hes received intelligence from the French consul
la Testeny that the cholera having made ib appearance es

Leghorn has augmented from seven to fourteen days the
quarantine for vessels coming faun that part of the world.
FREDERIC Sovits.—This.gentlemsai. whose death
we announced inhaling taken pibm a' few days since, we'
buried on the 28th inst. at the cemetery cf Parole Chaise,
outside Paris. The concourse which folbwed the funeral
was immense. Victor Hugo premounced theology upon the
character of the deceased. Several other gentlemen spoke,
and the crowd were about to disperse, whancriesef 's Alex-
andre Dumas" were heard from divers voices. That gen-
tleman had been recognised, and seeing him the crowd
wished to hear him speak. Tim called upon, Alexandre
Dumas came forward to speak. His voSe was, however,
choked by his sobs. He stopped, then road* another a/-
tempt, but failing a second time, tore himself sway from the
proposed ovation. " Dumas," says the .kurtsal dies D,,brsts.,
or rather Jules Janin, " was sot the lent eloquent of these
men who held the crowd in &state of rigid attention for two
hones."
ETIQVITEL.—It 'tee that,. previous to pro-
moting the Persian am or and his sude to the Kiag, at
Compiigne, it was perceived that the illustrious foreigners
wore so stockings they wear large mousers, with ample
folds, and the robe, or roles, they potion them am so lank
as to allow the yellow siepossekes to be scarcely visible.
But could etiquette allow the illustrious amt to be
admitted to the presence without stoskings ? The question
was a very grave one. The digression was long ; but
after due reflection, etiquette was triumphed, and it
was decided that the noble Persians should put on stockings.
The civil list, the inexhaustible geserosity of which is go wall
known, mot, as a present, a completeset of red striped cotton
stockings, of the tinnier gUtot. The polite foreigners, grate-
ful for such courtesy, contrived to get them on, without too
much trouble, and the presentation took place, The day
of the review arrived ; when the court and princes,
slighting from their carriage", got on horseback, the valets
led round rime horses which they held in readiness for the
Persians, that the latter might follow the King's staff during
the review. They got upon the offered steeds, but one thing
was forgotten ; the Persians do not ride like the French, and
the long stirrups of the French saddles soon caused the ample
trousers to wriggle up, the rubes floated to the wind, and the
meagre tibias of the easterns were soon exposed to view,
covered with the elegant red striped stockings. The courtiers,
it is said, laughed heartily,—they were to blame. It is not
enough to respect the rules of coquette; it would be better
to respect those of good breeding and of hospitality, and
making use of a little more foresight, not expose foreigners
entrusted with an official mission to disagreeable scenes, when
intending to do them honour. A short time after, the
foreigners sot into their carriage, from which they ought not
to have been preyed to descend, since it was impossible to
, procure them the means of riding on horseback according to
UM custom of their country.
RUSSIA.—ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 11.—CIIOLERA
fit RcestA.—There is no more talk of the journey of the
Emperor ; and it is probable, on account of the
cholera, that it will not take place. From the 16th of
October, 1846, to the 14th of June, 1847, the cholera has
attacked, in the Caucasus, 17,055 pesos", 6.318 of whom
have fallen victims to the scourge. On the 25th of July the
cholera had reacted its highest degree of intensity in Astra-
can. The greatest ravages were in the lower parts of the
town, which are &insp. The men have been attacked with
five times more violence than the women; the Russians
much more than the Musaulmen aid the Kalmuck,; because
the Mussulmen are more sober than the Russians, and the
Kalmucks live principally in the open air. Thirty-one indi-
viduals died on the 31st of July. The scourge has now
pretty nearly disappeared.
