EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have Paris letters and papers of yesterday.
Advices from Algiers say that Abd-al-fader has
lately moved his forces nearer to the French frontier
of the colony. This measure was, however, ascribed
to a design to retire from the troops of the Emperor
of Morocco, rather than to any intention hostile to
the French colonists.
M. Teste has paid to the Hospital Fund of Paris the
sum of 94,000 francs, the amount of the bribe which
he received in the affair of the mines. He petitioned
the king to remit the same amount which the law
requires him to pay to the treasury. The prayer of
this petition has been refused. It is said that an in-
dividaal on whom M. Teste had conferred benefits in
the days of his prosperity, has come forward and paid
the amount of the fine.

Our Madrid correspondent, writing on the 7th
says, " The Queen returned to La Orangs safe and
sound from her hunting excursion to El Paular, at
half-past 11 on the night of the sth. A coach went
t meet her, as far as the road was carriageable, at the
Vents de los Mosquitos. It seems that Pacheco had
an interview with the Queen on the morning of the
4th, before she set out. It is still said that one of his
main objects is to determine the Queen to come to
Madrid without loss of time : and that he is devoting
himself to the solution of the Palace question. The ru-
mours which I communicated to you yesterday shoot

the probability of his resigning, are repeated by the
papers of this morning. If Pacheco resigns, he will
be followed by Pastor }Au ; and most probably there
will be a general break-up of the ministry. A
thousand absurd combinations and conjectural cabi-
nets are put forward, chiefly by the ultra-moderado
organ, as likely to succeed. But there exists very
little doubt among the well-informed, that, in the
event of Pacheco's retirement, Salamanca will
be charged with the formation of the new cabinet.
The Queen, I hear, has expressed very emphatically
her wish that, whatever modification may take place,
Salamanca should continue to be a member of the
ministry.
" There is a decree in the Gazette organising the
New Bank of Cadiz. The capital is 100,000,0(10 realm,
represented by 50,000 shares at 2,000."

Letters from Berne of the Bth have brought a mani-
festo, issued by the central committee of the Swiss
Popular Association, the professed object of which is
to refute the calumnies circulated against the associa-
tionby the ultramontane party, by publishing, in an
explicit manner, the object of the society, and its
means of alleviating it. This document only repro-
duces what has been previously announced by the
association, namely, that its efforts are directed, by
strictly lc ,al means, to effect the expulsion of the
Jesuits, the dissolution of the Sunderbund, and the
revision of the pact of 1811 The last object
is, however, in reality the great aim of the
liberal party. They desire to render the confedera-
tion more compact as a whole, by strengthening the
central or federal power, and rendering the cantonal
governments more decidedly subordinate to it. Those
states which, like France and Austria, desire to. see
Switzerland feeble and ready to fall an easy prey to
any powerful neighbour, in case of a war, are opposed
to this for obvious reasons. The vital question of the
means of executing the resolutions of the diet in rela-
tion to the cantons of the league, was to have come
under discussion in the diet on Monday last ; and the
result is anxiously expected. It was supposed that
the diet would be more divided on this than on the
Previous questions.

Further adviees from Italy have been received from Itome to the tad, and Bologna to the 3rd. The

a

reduction of the duty on salt had diffused mach satis-
faction. The regulations for the general organisation
of the National Guard had been promulgated. The
edict consists of 132 articles. The purpose of the
new institution is declared to be the defence of the
sovereign, the enforcement of the laws, and the main-
tenance of public tranquillity. The interference of
the National Guard, as a body, in matters of polities
or public administration is forbidden. The labour-
ing classes are exempted from service in it, except
in such emergencies as may induce- the government
to require them. The institution is declared to be
permanent. The officers under the rank of captain
are to be elected by the companies themselves; captains
and superior officers are to be appointed by the sove-
reign. The stats is to supply arms, other charges
being defrayed by the municipalities.
M. Pallavicini, a friend of Cardinal Lambruschini,
has been dismissed from the place of pro-major-domo
of his holiness, and is replaced by. M. Roeconi, late
delegate of Ancona. M. Merrichini namedtreasurer-
general, with two secular counsellors, the Lake Mas-
simo and the Count Pierre Ferretti, brother of Cardinal
Ferretti, the secretary of state. All these are well-
known liberals.
