LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four (Mock.

Our foreign express arrived this morning.
There is a stagnation of events of domestic interest
at present in Paris, and the journals of Thursday,
barren of home topics, continued to expatiate on the
ministerial crises of Madrid and Athens, for, although
the minister disavowed in the Chamber any official
intelligence from the latter city, it is assumed, as all
but certain, that the Coletti Cabinet has fallen, or
must immediately do so. The demand for instant
payment of the interest on the Greek debt sustained
by a few British ships of war in the l'irteus is
regarded as irresistible.
Guizot is charged by the Opposition with de-
liberately leading the chambers to debate against
time, without any real purpose of legislative move-
ment, so as to slip over the session as quietly as
possible, obtaining the supplies and dropping into
the summer recess with no other noise than the blank
cartridges of debates on electoral, parliamentary, and
administrative reforms, the defeat of all which pro-
jecta is preordained in the chateau. By each tactics the
I present French parliament is virtually reduced to the
condition of some of the ancient ones, practically
affecting nothing, except the registration of fiscal
edicts, which are prepared at the Hotel des Affaires
Etriuigeres, or the Tuileries.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on
Thursday M. de Itemusat read his proposition on
electoral reform. The development of the proposition
has been fixed for Thursday, the 15th instant.
The price of wheat in the Paris market has again
advanced from If. 30c. to 2f.

The despatches and journals from Madrid of the
3rd instant have been received. According to a ens-
, tom observed in Spain, the Queen exercised the royal
prerogative of pardon on Thursday in Holy-week.
Five persons, condemned to death, were selected as the
objects of the royal clemency. It was expected that
the Cortes would sit again on Wednesday last, when
the cabinet were to have submitted to it various pro-
jects of law.
The Ga:ette of Madrid published several ordon-
nances, coantersigned by M. Mazarredo, Minister of
War, naming Gen. Jose Manse, Captain-general of
11 Valencia; Field-marshal Fernandez de Cordova,
Captain-general of New-Castille ; Field-marshal
Segundo de Alibari, Captain•general of the Canaries;
Gen. Jose de la Concha, Inspector of Cavalry ; Gen.
Francisco de Paolo Figures, Director-general of the
corps d'etat major ; and Jose Cortes Espinosa, Minis-
ter of the Supreme Tribunal of War and Marine.
' It was said that General Oribe had been appointed
to a poet in the army of observation on the frontier
of Portugal.
L'Eco del Comercio says that orders have been ex-
pedited by the government to permit Generals Van
}fallen and Osono to return to Spain.
It was said that Martinez de la Rosa was named

We have had papers to-day from Graham's Town,
to the 23rd, and Cape Town the 27th January, which,
though notof notate a date as some previously received,
supply particulars of information not heretofore pub-
lished. The accounts from the frontier are to the
22nd January, at which date Col. Somerset appears
to have succeeded in re-passing the Kei with his
entire force and 6,000 head of cattle, out of 9,000
captured during the recent campaign in Kreli's coun-
d. This was effected with the loss °fa few men
rowned, a sergeant of the 6th Reg killed, anda private
of the Cape Rifles severely wounded. The troops ap-
pear to have suffered so much from short supplies
and the rainy state of the weather; and were so much
exhausted by the harrsssing service in which they
had been employed, that an interval of repose had
become absolutely necessary. The fear was, that the
Kaflirs, considering 'this an evidence of weakness,
would employ the leisure it afforded in removing their
cattle to an unapproachable distance, and preparing
to open a fresh campaign with double vigour. In fact,
they had already exhibited increased boldness, carry-
ing off herds of cattle from Fort Peddie and the im-
mediate neighbourhood of Waterloo Bay. In case of
a renewal of hostilities, it is very uncertain what part
will be taken by Faku, the chief of tho Amaponda
country. His people arc extremely poor, and Kreli's
Kritirs have been circulating magnificent accounts of
, their successes over the English, and making tempting
