FRANCE.

The following intelligence appeared in part of our
last evening's impression :
TUT9DAY, 6 Y.N.
I have just made an extensive tour of the capital,
the impediments to circulation being relaxed. Sen-
tinels are posted at the extremities of all the streets,
and, where suspicion is excited, stop and search the
passengers. Unoccupied shops are generally con-
verted either into guard-houses or " ambulances"
for the wounded. I visited the Clos St. Lazare, now
rendered so memorable fur the conflict there.
This is an extensive area, attached to the
new hospital in process of construction, formerly
called the Hospital Louis-Philippe, and now called
the Hospital of the Republic. It is covered with
blocks of cut stone and other building materials;
these were used by the insurgents to raise redoubts
and defences : the walls are pierced with holes three
or four feet asunder, to serve for loop-holes. There
are but few dwelling-houses near this ; and, there-
fore, the effects of the conflict are not ihry ap-
parent. It is situated close to the station of the
Northern ltailway. Passing through the Faubourgs
St. Martin and St. Denis I found them filled with a
busy crowd of the lower orders many of whom were
inquiring after and tending their wounded friends in
the " ambulances." The barricades have been all,
without exception, levelled, and the pavement where-
ever it was torn up has been relaid ; the inhabitants
of the respective localities assistin4 in the work.
The line of the Boulevards from the Boulevard Bonne-
Nouvelle to the Bastille presents a strange spectacle ;
the broad footway on either side is spread with straw,
on which the soldiers are extended : some lie sleeping,
others sit taking refreshment, others are seen reading
the journals, or conversing on the events of the day.
Officers mingle among the men, on apparently equal
terms. _ _

On either side of the carriage road are ranged the
horses of the cavalry, which are supplied with pro-
vender, giving tho entire line of the Boulevard the
appearance of a vast stable.
The extensive apace unoccupied above the Chateau
d'Eau, and near what was Franconi's theatre has been
selected as the station for the artillery. An immense
number of guns of every description, including
howitzers and mortars, ammunition waggons, &c. are
collected there.
At intervals along the carriage road vans are seen
which are commonly used for the removal of furniture;
these are tilled with bread for the use of the military.
Waggons loaded with wine casks and water casks are
also seen from place to place, the wine being drawn
from the casks on the spot for the refreshment of the
soldiers.

From place to place piles of small bags
containing oats for the horses are perceived, and
carts laden with bay are continually passing. What
remains not thus occupied in the centre of the car-
riage road is crowded with mrious spectators , pro.
menading as they would on the occasion of some
public celebration.
Funerals of National Guards and soldiers axe en-
countered every where proceeding to the cemeteries,
preceded by the muffled drum. It is customary here,
as a mark of respect for the dead, fur the passer-
by to stop and uncover. I observed this usage of
course, but in one case the officer commanding the
escort desired me to cover, and show no mark of
mined. On inquiring the cause of this, I found that
the MI was that of Larroque, one of the principal

leaders of the insurrection, the editor of the journal
called Pere Duchene.

We have received the Madrid mails of the 22nd.
Orlando has put forth his financial plan, a detail of
which, furnished by our correspondent, will be found
under the head of Money Market-
Our correspondent informs us that the declara-
tion of Lord J. Russell in parliament, that Isturitz
had been dismissed, !au created a good deal of alarm
at Madrid, and entirely dispelled the comfortable
effects of the Heraldo's assurance the day before, that
the retirement of Isturitz was quite voluntary.
The Eepagna publishes a letter from Bayonne,
giving a supposed organisation of the Carlist army
which is to invade Spain. The commanders are dis-
tributed thus : Navarre and Basque provinces, Gen.
Elio; Alava, Gen. Prudencio Sopelana ; Guipuzcoa.
Gen. Alzaa; Biscay, Oen. Zabala ; Old Castile, Gen.
, Arroyo ; Andalusia, Gen. Gomez ; Mancha, Gen.
lloyo; Catalonia, Gen. Burjo; Aragon and Valencia,
Cabrera; Chief of Staff, Zariategui ; Aragon, Gen.
Foreadell. I hear that Ntontemolin has succeeded in
borrowing 300,000!. But his army will make the
country bear the war.
A Queen's messenger was hourly expected from
England, conveying orders for the breaking up of the
rest of the ambassadorial establishment here. Mr.
Brackenbury will, it is supposed, be left alone in all
his glory as consul.
Ruett y Guel, the husband of the Infanta Jlsefa,
has modestly applied to the government for the post
of ambassador at Berlin. He has come up to Madrid
Ito beg pardon for having married into the royal
'family. Guel is a poet, and as poor as that class
usually are.
