The proceedings of the Austrian authorities at
Cracow are thus referred to in a letter from Podgorge,
dated Nov. 15, addressed to the Journal des Debata. i
Cracow no longer exists as a free city. To- morrow the
official publication of the incorporation of that city to the
Anita= dominions will take place. The greatest precautions
have been taken by the authorities not to let the fact tran-
spire among the public before the official announcement.
Sentinels have been placed at all the.printing offices, and the
new decrees are now in press. The civil governor of Cracow,
,I. Dehn, has juht arrived. The military goernor, M. C-
tigliene, has resided there since the last insurrection. The
administration of Galicia is to be revised. A part of the dis-
trict of Wadowice is, it is said, to be separated from Galicia,
and incorporated with Austrian Silesia. I send you this
letter by private hand, es all letters and communications be-
tween Cracow and Germany and France are intercepted.
Reports of a ministerial crisis continue to be circu-
lated in Paris. It was said that, at the close of the
Cabinet Council held on Sunday, which lasted three
hours, M. (Juizot was abandoned by all his col-

leagues.
One of them, says Le Commerce, whom we may designate
clearly enough by recalling his strange pretensions to the
presidency, when M. Guizot spoke of adopting energetic
measures against the proceeding of the northern powers, re-
plied, " We will not follow you in the dangerous course to
which your weakness and imprudence conduct you." It
appears that the colleagues of M. Guizot are of opinion that
this statesman is incapable of surmounting the difficulties
with which he is surrounded.
"It is asked," says Le Courrier Francais, "why M.
Mole has had a conference with the king, and it is answered,
because M. Guizot desired not only to make a demonstration
on the Rhine, but also to oppose Prince Metternich in the
affair of the Swiss cantons, and to send a fleet to the
Adriatic. In fact, the rumour is, that the Ministry of
Marine has been consulted, and that the Prince de Joinville
has conferred with M. blacken, who called to his aid the
heads of his department."
The Bey of Tunis, who resides at the palace of
Elysee Bourbon, was received by the king at the
Tuileries on Monday. He was conducted with his
suite to the place in two of the royal state carriages.
A regiment of the Line, and a detachment of
Lancers, were drawn up in the court of the palace to
receive
On Monday the Bey received, at the Elysee Bour-
bon, a deputation of the principal merchants of Paris
who trade with Tunis.
Lord Brougham left for London on Sunday.

The Madrid mails, with the journals of that city
of the 18th instant, and private correspondence, were
received in Paris on Tuesday.
The Queen and royal family attended a representa-
tion at the Teatro de la Craz on the evening of the
1 ith.

_
Private letters say, that in spite of the assertion of
certain journals of the opposition, the government
will afford free scope to all candidates at the general
elections. so as to merit at least the praise of tole-
rance and impartiality.
El Egpanol states that intelligence had been re-
ceived at Madrid, on the 18th instant, that the fort of
San Miguel, an important position close to Lisbon,
had declared itself in favour of 1/as Antes and the
insurrection.

El Clamor Public ° states that it has seen a letter
from Lisbon, dated 12th instant, which affirms that a
ship had arrived from the island of San Miguel with
the intelligence that all the Azores, with their garri-
sons, had declared in favour of the insurrection.

El Espanol of the 18th states that Mr. Cobden re-
ceives successively, in all the Spanish provinces, the
most flattering welcome. The city of Cadiz in parti-
cular, desiring to testify its sympathy for the system
of free-trade, a great number of the most distin-
guished inhabitants gave a banquet to the celebrated
English economist. Senor Don Giorgio Ortegui
Navaiepresided, with Mr. Cobden on his right hand,
and the English Consul on his left. The first toast
given was, " The Queen and Royal family of Spain ;"
second, " Queen Victoria ;" and the third, " Richard
Cobden."

El Clamor Public° calls the attention of its readers
to the following article from El Eapectador.
Saturday, at noon, the Duchess de Rianzares held a court
at her hotel, in the Rue de la Rejas. It will appear incre-
dible that one of the noblesse could hold a court ; but the
fact is certain. The invitations addressed to the grandees
were thus conceived .—" H. M. has deigned to name the
hour of noon on Saturday to gibe you the audience you have
solicited." Several persons who had received these cards
went to the chamberlain to say that they had not solicited
any audience. "No matter," he replied, "do not fail to
come." The grandees being assembled in the salon intended
for this reception, the Duke de Raileu commenced by kiss-
ing the hand of the Duchess, who appeared only to yield to
the urgency of the Duke. This ceremony has been unex-
pected, since the Duchess has paned into the rank of the
nobility.

Advices from Switzerland, received in Paris, inti-
mate the continuance of the exertions of the diplo-
matic agents of Austria to detach the lesser cantons
from the Liberal party, and to intimidate them from
favouring any armed movement directed against the
cantons of the league. The cantons of the Grisons
and Tessin have been apprised that Austria would
discontinue with them her friendly relations, if they
should cause armed troops to march into the cantons
of the Catholic league. On the other hand, it is be-
lieved that Austria has insisted on Lucerne and the
other cantons of the league removing all pretext of
aggression, by sending away the Jesuits. It is said
that by the intervention of Austria, negotiations have
already been opened on this subject with Rome, and
the recent departure of the Secretary of State,
M. Bernard Meyer, seems to confirm this. Austria
hopes by these measures to recover in Switzerland
the influence of which the events of 1830 deprived
her. To give effect to her present intervention, she
has placed the cantons of the Grisons and Tessin in a
sort of blockade, having closed against them the
markets of the Tyrol and Lombardy.

FRANCE.--Tne SPANISH MARRIAGE.—The King
has received letters in reply to the notification of the mar-
riage of the Duke of Montpensier with the Infanta Maria-
Louisa from the Emperor of Austria, the King of Sardinia,
the King of the Belgians, the Elector of Besse, and the Duke
of Nassau.

PARIS SAVINGS' BANKS.—The following is the
movement of the Paris savings' bank during the last week :
—Sums paid in on the 22nd and 23rd Nov., by 4,272 depo-
sitors, 579,8941 r. ; sums reimbursed to 1,963 depositors,
852,336 fr. 80c.; rentes bought by request of depositors during
the week for the amount of 167,1741 r. 10c., capital ; demands
of reimbursement on the 22nd Nov., 1,095,646 fr.
THE BEY OF TUNIS.—AIong the whole road from
Toulon to Paris, Ahmed Pacha was received as a sovereign.
The authorities everywhere came to felicitate him, and
guards of honour were everywhere given him. In all the
towns he left considerable sums to the poor ; and at Roanne,
hearing of the:late disasters, he ordered 50,000 francs to be
placed at the disposal of the authorities. In quitting his
states, the Bey gave a proof of his humanity. In confiding
to his cousin, Sidi Runde, and to Saeb Tad, the govern.
ment of his regency, he expressly forbade that any life
should be taken away during his absence. Such an idea in
an eastern sovereign is calculated to honour his reign ; and,
in consequence, when the Bey embarked on board the
steamer which was to take him to France, a multitude of
boats followed him out of the port of Goulette, with all the
marks of deep regret. The Bey was himself deeply elected.
Before going on board he had collected together his troops
at Goulette to pass them in review. At the last moment he
took in his arms the colours of the different regiments, and
with tears in his eyes, said, " I leave you; but it is for you
that Igo to France. We shall soon met again."
BELGIUM.—BRCSSELS, Nov. 24.—The reply to
the King's speech was presented yesterday to his Majesty,
by &deputation from the Chamber of Representatives. The
Infanta Isabella of Spain, who is married to a Polish count,
and who resides in this city, has left for Paris. A German
journal, called the Deutscher Brusseller Zeitun 9, will be
published here at the beginning of the new year.
MENDICITY DEPOTS.—During several years past,
the mendicity depots of this country have been generally
condemned, on account of the inherent vices of their organi-
sation and the absence of a uniform system of management.
In the five large depots at present existing, there is no classi-
fication of the inmates, save with regard to sex—old and
young, able-bodied and infirm, lazy vagrants and honest ope-
ratives, being jumbled together. The evils of such asystem are
too apparent to need particular mention. The government
has at last directed its attention to the subject, and issued a
project of law for the reformation of the mendicity depots.
It is now proposed to establish two such depots, properly
called, one for able-bodied mendicants and paupers of the
male sex, and another for similar persons of the female. It
is, moreover, proposed to establish two schools of ref,,rm for
mendicants and paupers under 18 years of age, one for each
sex. All four establishments will be opened in rural dis-
tricts, and will partake, as much as possible, of the nature of
agricultural colonies.

NETHERLANDS.—THE HAGUE, Nov. 19.—As
a proof of the great importance of the exportation to Eng-
land, we may mention that in the course of this week no
fewer than 12 steam-boats, with oxen, fruit, and other pro-
visions, have left this city for that country.
Nov. 22.—The Provincial Tribunal of Gueldcrinnd
delivered sentence on the 19th of this month, in the
affair of M. Geptens, Vicar of the Roman Catholic Church
of Groenlow, accused of an attempt to murder with pro.
meditation, which murder was prevented by circumstances
independent of the will of the accused. The tribunal firo-
nouneed him guilty, and passed sentence of death upon him.
After the reading of the sentence, the president addressed
the criminal in an affecting speech, informing him that he
