the 103rd article of tbriTreaty of Vienna," and to show
how entirely friendly the cabinet of Vienna is towards
the holy father, it is proposed to refer the question
of the intrepretatioa of that article to " any arbitrator
that the holy father himself may name." So says a
Roman correspondent of the Catholic organ L' Untrers.
Respecting the affair of the Prince of Ecittniihl, the
National has the following:
The family of Prince Bekmuhl have been much afflicted
at the recital given in the journals ; and, as crime appears
to have become endemic in certain regions of society, we
can but Os) well conclave this emotion. According to the
letters and verbal communications we have received-, it was
in a vi ilent paroxysm of a disorder, which is still in an
alarming state, :hat this domestic scene took place be-
tween the prince and a female with whom he had
before been en a most intimate footiree. This scene,
however, though it may have excited a very na-
tural feeling of alarm in the woman, created no thought of
hurting her, still less of committing a murder. An set of
violence his been committed on the person of a man-servant.
It can be easily understood that a man who has not the con-
sciousness of his deeds, very readily give' way to the excess
of passion; the free exercise of his will being absent, be is no
longer subject to any moral responsibility. We will dwell
no longer on the painful affair; we cannot discuss with in-
sanity ; and in presence of the grief which this disorder has
caused a numerous and honourable family, we merely consign
the reclamation they have made, and abstain from further
reflections.

We give elsewhere the tenor of a letter received in
Paris by an extraordinary courier from Madrid,
dated the 30th ult., with the important intelligence of
the failure of Narvaez, and the withdrawal of the
commission which had been confided to him by the
queen. The public anxiety on this subject was ex-
treme on Saturday in Paris, when the regular Madrid
mail of the 30th failed to arrive, as usual, bythe Bour-
deaux courier. The mails of the 30th and 31st were
received on Sunday, with a great mass of despatches
and journals, including several letters of our own
correspondent. The intelligence we give elsewhere
is fully confirmed. The provisional functions of the
Duke of Va encia have been withdrawn, and if the
accounts which we receive from more than one
respectable quarter can be fully credited, the Queen
has displayed a firmness and resolution which must
fill with despair those who imagine that she can be
made the mere instrument for the aggrandizement of
the family of the King of the French. La
Preu e, a journal which on this question supports
the policy of the Tuileries, and which received
the earliest intelligence of the failure of Narvaez,
after giving on Sunday the general facts which we
have elsewhere announced, says that it can guarantee
the general and almost verbal exactitnde of the folaw-
iv/er:port of the audience which Narvaez had at the
at midnight, on the 29th:
/Cum= —Will your =Veiny deign to inform me of the
negation to which year majesty has elate ?
gums Isaatuas—What! the resolution I have taken !
when the list yon have presented to me contains only the
awes of my enemies!
N.—The li.t is composed exclusively of men known
fier their attachment to the throne and their devotion to the
person of your ?Cies, y.
Q. I.—l tell you that most of them are my enemies.
N.—Will your majesty then deign to select a cabinet, and
inform me of those whose accession to office would be agree-
able to your majesty ?
Q. 1.-1 reject all that you have proposed, and I am going
to invite the Progreaeistas to office.
N.—Your majesty, doubtless, forgets that the Proves-
sistas are by tradition, by position, and by 'vitae, the moat
dangerous enemies of your ;throne, and the adversaries of
your prerogatives.
Q. 1.-1 forget nothing. My resolution is taken, and in
the worst case I shall, as a pis alter, retaia the present mi-
nistry.
N.—Your majesty will permit me to observe that it is not
necessary for me to return to Paris.
9.1.—1 t was not I that ordered you to leave it.
N.—Thea my mission is finished ?
Q. I.—Perfectly finished, and you may retire.
The Moderadoe are furious at the failure of Ner-
vier, and the more so as it was unlooked for. Their
organs lay the result to the charge of the English
minister, who, seconded by M. Salamanca and Gen.
Serrano, has exercised a decisive influence in the
palace. It appears certain, from all the reports which
have arrived, that M. Salamanca was charged with
the task of forming a cabinet; that he found some dif-
ficulty in getting an eligible president of the council,
being desirous of retaining the finances himself, and
that the offer of the presidency had been sent
by government messengers
.to General Alaix, who
was in Andalusia ; and, in case of his refusal,
to the Duke of Fries who was in the Basque
provinces. Contradictory reports were circulated
respecting General Narvaez. According to some he
was ordered to Burgos, there to wait the orders of
government, and it was even said that he was sent
there inner a military OSIKEt. According to others,
he remained unmolested in Madrid. On the con-
trary,
it was stated that on the 31st, the day of his
fete, he had a brilliant reception at his hotel.

Letters from Bologna, of the 28th ult., mentioned
the appearance of two British ships of war at the
mouth of the Po. The Italian°, a journal of that city,
says : "Two foreign ships were seen on the 17th in
the waters of the Volano, in the province of Ferrara,
which were taking soundings in the offing. They
were recognised u English vessels from the tower of
the port." The national guard is completely organised
in Bologna. The Marquis Guidotti is appointed to its
command.
