not only with impunity, but applause. He is the
master of the Government: not the Government of
him.

In this respect French ministers must begin to
find some inconvenience in the pet military colony.
It has employed troublesome spirits, it has furnished
ample means of patronage and promotion. It has
given princes of the blood reputation and laurels.
But its crop of generals does not turn out,
as was expected, steady supporters of Louis
PHILIPPE'S plan of government. Marshal Be-
GEACD is recalcitrant; more than half a mal-
content ; and has more than once threatened to over-
throw the cabinet. And now the peculiar hero of
Algeria, the French-African Hercules, LAMORICIERE,
has come home, not to wear the aiguilkttes of king's
aide-de-camp, but to marry the sister-in-law of
M. TIIIERS, and to embark in the service of
Opposition with the same zeal that he dis-
played in piking Arabs, and sabreing Moors.
If Algeria, therefore, has proved a convenient kind of
penitentiary settlement for troublesome spirits, it now ,
becomes also an inconvenient nursery for military
zealots.

We have, ourselves, none of these things to fear.
Our public clement at home is of so vast and chill a
nature, as to absorb and cool at once the most violent
and most doughty soldier that may chance to drop
into it. The attendant misfortune of which is, that
England, all civilian in feeling, has a colony in India
which is all military. What the one ordains, the other
most decidedly contravenes. France and Algeria,
however they may injure each other, at least agree
in sympathies and views. England and India, quite
the reverse, do but contradict each other; and when
they will cease to do otherwise, Heaven knows. We
had hoped that, the Punjaub humbled, we might
look for permanent peace. Yet we hear but of fresh
symptoms of mutiny ; the Punjaubbics sullen, the
inlet- of Moulton menacing, and her new pet and ally,
GooLsii, taking all he can, and refusing all he durst;
everything showing Sir HENRY HARUINGE'S pacifi-
cation to be of the same rope of sand as most Indian
conventions. We always disapproved of Sir HENRY'S
policy in so unduly elevating GOOLAB to inde-
pendency; and the Mail which arrived yesterday,
proves that we were right.
Algeria keeps up the similitude in these points
also. Whilst we are menaced with fresh war on
the Indus, ABD-EL-KADER is said to threaten the
Emperor of Moaocco, and to attempt to take his place.
This will make a very pretty second Momish cam-
paign for the victors of Isly and Mogador ; whilst the
heroes of Meennee and Ferozepore may be at the same
time called to pluck fresh laurels, and to mock pacific
civilians and governments at home as much as
BUGEALD and LAMORICIERE.

We have received our l'aris express and papers of
Monday. Although no one here thinks it could be
possible for King Louis Philippe to give up or even
to postpone the marriage of the Duke of Montpensier
with the Infanta Luisa, the strong opposition of the
English newspapers has made a powerful impression
in Paris, and caused a considerable depreciation in
the public securities of all kinds. It is feared
that the Carlist insurrection, may give rise to a
protracted civil war in Spain, which would lead
to great political complications. However, the French
government seem to take very coolly the multifarious
opposition directed against its favourite plan, and to
be quite ready to weather the storm.
The DrFbats continues its vituperations against Eng-
land upon the opposition of the English press to the
Duke of Montpensier's marriage. It says :
" There was a time when our orators and our journals
of the Opposition desired absolutely to see France humiliated
and lowered before Engliutd, when they daily repeated that
Our honour and our interests were sacrificed to the exactions
of a foreign government. England, like ourselves, then
thought such assertions false and puerile. That is precisely
our opinion on those cries of alarm of certain English jour-
nals on the pretended dangers said to threaten the inde-
pendence of Spain. In France, public good sense and the
efforts of a wise and firm government triumphed over such a
factious agitation, and harmony} was maintained. It will
be the same as regards Spain. We arc convinced that the
Spanish people will not let themselves be persuaded that
their independence runs a risk, and if perchance a few In-
sensate madmen unhappily venture to protest against the
wishes and the great majority of the nation, the issue of such 1
an attempt would be speedy and decisive. We only the more
deeply regret the language of a portion of the English press.
We see with sorrow to what resources they have recourse. Don
Carlos himself, we are told, is now popular in Spain. It is
true that he might carry a counter-revolution along with
him, deprive the Spanish nation of those institutions
acquired at the price of so much blood and so many
sacrifices, but at least it would be a national power Spain
would have the consolation to see her liberties strangled by
Spanish hands, and at that price she woeld be delivered
from the yoke about to be placed on her neck by the Duke
of Montpensier."
The king has arrived from La Ferte Vidame, and
Cabinet Council, which had been previously com-
manded, was immediately holden. The preparations
for the Duke of Montpensier's journey to Spain con-
tinue with unabated activity.
The Prefct du Cher, under whose surveillance the
Count of Montemolin was placed at Bourges, has
been summoned to l'aris by telegraphic despatch.
It is asserted that despatches have been sent to
the Prince de Joinville to make all sail to the eastern
coasts of Spain with his squadron, in order to pre-
vent, by active surveillance, the landing of the Comte
de Montemolin and other Carlist chiefs. Some
vessels are ordered with the same intention from
Brest and R.ochefort, on the eastern coast of the
Peninsula to prevent the landing of arms and ammu-
nition.

Two days previously similar instructions were sent
to all the French authorities on the inland frontier.

The l)uc d'Aumale arrived at St. Omer on Satur-
day to inspect the military establishment there. His
Royal Highness was expected back in Paris on
Monday.
The first public meeting of the Free Trade Associa-
tion at Marseilles took place on the 17th instant, M.
Luce, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, in
the chair. After some introductory speeches a sub-
scription was opened to further the objects of the
association.

Letters addressed by Abd-el-Kadcr to the tribes of
the South and Ouarencenis had created some uneasi-
ness.

Our letters and journals from Madrid are of the
16th inst. The marriage of the Queen and her sister
having been officially communicated to the Senate,
that body resolved on presenting itself at the palace
to congratulate her Majesty on these happy events.
The Queen received the senators, and heard from
their mouth the following address :
" Madam,—The Senate approaches the steps of the throne
on the most happy occasion of the conclusion of the marriage
of your Majesty with a Spanish prince worthy of your own
family. It congratulates you, at the same time, on the mar-
riage of your august sister, heir presumptive to the throne,
with another scion of an illustrious royal family, allied to
Spain, and child of a great nation, which, after having wit-
nessed many disasters, enjoys to-day the greatest prosperity,
the prolific fruit of its institutions, where liberty
and order are united under the shadow of tute-
lary laws strictly observed. May Heaven, madam,
shed its blessing and happiness on this double union : may
that divine Providence which has protected your Majesty in
so visible a manner from the very cradle, by preserving you
in so maay troubles and dangers, extend its favours to the
generous nation whose destinies are entrusted to you! May
Spain, in the new era of peace and reconciliation which the
government of your Majesty announces to the Senate in
notifying to it this happy news, show to the world a spectacle
of a rich and prosperous nation ! May your Majesty find
happiness in the midst of a numerous progeny; may you be
great and generous during a long and glorious reign, to be
afterwards justly celebrated in the annals of Spanish history.
The Queen replied as follows :
'• Senators,—lt is with the deepest emotion that I receive
the congratulations which you address to me on my marriage
with my august cousin, and on that of my beloved sister with
the illustrious Duke of Montpensier. In those two unions I
have not consult d only my dom est ie happ but the welfare
and prosperity of the nation. I thank you, senates's, for
this additional proof of loyalty and attachment to my
person.•

El Herald° of the 16th publishes the following in a
second edition as " Important." It is the address
drawn up by the Commission in reply to the Queen's
speech. It runs thus :
"Madam,—The Congress of Deputies has heard with pro-
found respect the communication your Majesty has deigned
to address by the medium of your ministers, and
according to which your Majesty has decided on
contracting a marriage with your illustrious cousin the
Infant Don Francisco de Assis Maria de Borbon. The Con-

grass congratulates /our Majesty with having bee—"e

with the Prince Antoine Marie Philippe Louis d'(rlemn,nz

proofs most uncquivecal of its love for the throne and

There was a report in Madrid that Mr. Bulwer hid
received from the British government its approval 0(
the course pursued by him, in whirls he was desired

KIEL, SEPT. 16.—Yesterday, at five p.m., the
Queen of Denmark arrived from Anrustenburg, and ma
received at the gates with a complimentary address. The
burgomaster besought her Majesty to use her influence with
the King to quell the dissensions. The Queen replied in
the most amiable manner that she hopei soon to
see them subside. The Queen then proceeded to the willop
of Garden, where she was received by Count Iteventlowle
Beets. The coachman of Count Blucher Altona hang
absented himself from his seat, was sharply reprimuM
by the count, which gave offence to the crowd: and mud
them, the son of a professor, asked him what business he W
to insult an honest man. The crowd then surrounded ar
carriage, and, if it had not been foe the interference of Coo
E.eventlow, who told them the Queen was present, it would
have fared ill with the Count.
The Augsburg Get:ette of the 1 7th contains a long
article refuting the erroneous opinions of the German pea
as regards the duchy of Schleswig. The writer states that
since 1713 King Frederick the First incorporated that duchy
with Denmark, and had obtained to that effect the guarsa•
tees of France and England, as results from letters-patent
of 1721.

SOUTH AMERICA.—LA PLATA.—The P 1
and private letters from Monte Video to the 15th oflBl7,
and from Buenos Ayres to the 4th, Jo not communicate sap
fact which would lead to the belief that the little war, hl
which England and France are involved in that quarter
the world, was near its termination. Mr. Hood, deputed by
Lord Aberdeen on a special mission to Buenos Ayres, landed
at Buenos Ayres, without touching at Monte Video, on the
4th. A boat with despatches for Messrs. Gore, Ouseley, sad
Diffaudis, probably .mm their respective governments et
home, and carried out by the Devastation steamer, under
charge of Mr. Hood. was subsequently despatch.' to and
arrived at Monte Video. The contents of the despatches
were not suffered to transpire at Monte Video. In the two
or three days which passed after the landing of Mr. Hood,
nothing had become known in Buenos Ayres about the pro-
gress or commencement of the negotiations respecting the
mission with which he was charged. So far this diplomatic
reserve may be regarded as favourable to the results desired
The Monte Vidcan government became uneasy, it seem
about the objects and possible results .f this delegation of
Mr. Hood, of which, by the way, no adrices whatever had
been previously received in Monte Video. and on the sth of
July, a note passed in consequence to Mr. Gore Ouseley,
requesting explanations on the subject. The reply of that
gentleman on the 6th was, that " the packet which leg
England a considerable time before the sailing of Mr. Hood
not having arrived, he had no intelligence respecting the
mission treated of." On the Rth, the Monte Vidcan govern-
ment rejoined is a longer note, taking the shape of a protest,
against any thing which might be proposes' or stipulated
by Mr. Bliod contrary to their interests and perfect
"independence." In this note the Monte Videan minister,
however, took care to remind the British minister, that the
governments of England and France stand solemnly pledged
to certain conditions of support; to the mintielsory retire-
ment of the Argentine forces, and to leaving Monte Video
free to elect its own president and government. Assuming
the expulsion of all the foreign mercenaries. and the also-
lute non-intervention of the existing posernmcut in the
city, as well as that of Oribe commanding all the country
outside, the condition would seem fair enou•h; but such $
not the sense in which it would be understood. The
government, of comae, mean only the forced retirement d
Oribe, and their own permanence in power. The withdrawal
orate two British regiments in garrison, who were ordered
off to the Cape of Good Hope, was meanwhile creating
much alarm. Rivera, with his troops, had been ordered
back to Monte Video, but he had refused obedience. He
was at Las Vacas, whither lie had retired, according to the
papers of Monte Video, before the advancing forces of OA*
which may be accepted as proof suflieient that all the
triumphs boasted of in the last accounts as achieved by hit
were no more than nil. General La Madrid. • leader of the
Unitarian party, had arrived at Monte Video from Chili,
rather too late to be of much use. At Rio Janeiro it WO
asserted that the propositions of which Mr. Hood was the
hearer, contemplated the absolute independence of Moats
Video and the withdrawal of the Argentine forces, as well •
of Rivera and the intrusive government of the place.
