The Paris Papers of Monday contain no political !WWI
of much importance. The opposition journals ire rejoicing
in the failure of M. de VI I.LEI.CB plan for the reduction
of the rentes. They speak in strong terms of condemnation
with respect to the sale of the Three per Cent. Bonds on
the English Stock Exchange, through the house of floras..
CHILD. The example of Naples is quoted in favour of
this scheme; but the Journal des Debat, complains in-
dignantly of the comparison thus made between the finan-
cial condition of the two kingdoms. IVhat would Englatg
say, the Editor asks, if the English funds were issued for
sale in the different markets of Europe under the seal of
foreign banker? M. de Vtl.l.L LE, it seems, if the asser-
tion of his adversaries be true, neglects no means of sue.•
ems. He lies both his sacred and his profane instruments.
Among the forus we may enumerate the Propagandists of
the Faith, who in the departments are preaching against
the Five per Cents. Every restier who refuses to convert
his stock into the new Three per Cents, is, they declare,
guilty of the sin of usury.. The next step will be, u tbe
Courrier Francais suggests, that pastoral letters wilt be
written, calling upon all true believers, u a condition of
their salvation, to reduce their rentes forthwith.

The mysterious crime to which the Etoite alluded some
time ago as an evidence of the progress of vice and leside.
glon, turns out to be a mere fiction. The scene of yhii
enormity was alleged to be the School of Medicine; but
the Principal and Prcfesaora have, in the clearest and most
direct language, formally denied that anything has occurred
in that faculty which could furnish the slightest pretext
for the statement in the Unite. The report was, that the
offence consisted in a very gross act of profanation on the
day of the Fete Dieu. How the Partite was led into the
positive assertion it made we are um:bre cooteive, espe-
cially as it pretended that the Officers of Justice had actu-
ally commenced the examination of the facts, and taken
measures against the suspected parties.
The Etoile now states, that the diplomatic conferences at
Milan will have no other object than the gradual evacuation
of the kingdom of Naples by the Austrian troops. We
trust this may be so, though we cannot place reliance on the
foreign intelligence of a paper which is liable to be so
grossly imposed upon with regard to domestic occurrences.
The private correspondence from Madrid represents the
Spanish treasury to be in a state of utter destitution. For
an immediate supply, the ruinous and oppressive expedient
of a forced loan will be resorted to. The whole kingdom is
in a wretched condition, which is aggravated by the failure
of the harvest, and the consequent rise of bread. If the
French were not at han:l, it is easy to perceive that another
revolution could not be far distant. The elements are all
submit together, but they cannot now explode.

The Diplomatic Conferencesof Milan, abou which the Jors
urnals
have made so ninth noise, and which the Journal du Commerce
endeavours to represent as aiming at the establishment of a qua-
druple alliance against the power and interests of Great Britain, by
confirming the Protectorship exercised at present by Austria over
Germany and Italy, has no other object, it appears, than to make
arrangements for the gradual evacuation of the kingdom of Naples
by the Austrian troops.

The project of a forced loan, which was decided on sow *soap
by the Council of Alinisters, had been laid before the Council of
Castile, which threw obstacles in the way of It, which have
hitherto paralysed it ; but it seems that the distress of our Exche-
quer and the necessity of providing for the current expences, added
to the state of the public mind in the bile of Cuba, have induced
the Council of Castile to sanction the forced loan, without regard
for the consequences of this disastrous measure.

Eight individuals of the party wni h prowls about Aramjues were
executed yesterday ; but the discontent expressed by the people ma
a preceding execution of two individuals of the 11111131 C party
caused great precautions to be taken this time, almost the whole
garrison being under arms.

A ;roject of the Superintendent General of the Police, for the
formation of a corps of 6,000 gm d'arms had received the 'amain
of the Ministers; but the violent party, which dors not like DI.
Recacho, and is afraid of seeing so considerable a force at 114 dis-
posal, has had credit enough to prevent the execution of it. When
the plan wu laid before his Majesty for his signature, be kept is
and no more was heard of it.
Valboa, formerly Intendant of Police of Murcia, has been
appointed to the office of Intendant of Police of 3ladrid, which balk
been lately created.

MADRID, JUNT 9.
Last week the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of
the Marine, signed tcgether a report, which the former laid before
the King, praying the dismissal of the Minister of War, Aymerie,
and of Carbajal, Captain General of Madrid, as they stated the con-
duct of those high functionaries to be inc anparible with that ge-
neral reconciliation which was desirable at the present moment.
The King read the paper from the beginning to the end, and
remarked, that the matter of it demanded the most serious consider-
ation. On this fact was founded the rumour that the Minister*
who presented this Report had dismissed themselves, on the sup-
position that the King had given no answer to their proposition.
The Ex-Minister Cruz, is still pursued by the prevailing party.
The most influential persons made representations to the King the
day before yesterday, complaining of his conduct.

There was a Meeting yesterday of the Contractors of the
New Spanish Loan, and M. Acne Geo, the Commissioner
of his Catholic Majesty ; but we cannot yet make known
the terms on which it is intended to bring ottt the Loan.
We have reason to believe that they are likely to be more
favourable to the bond-holders than had been pmrlously
contemplated. We know enongh, however, to assure
the public, that the article in the Times of yesterday
le, as have been all the statements it has sent forth ou
this subject, a tissue of blunders. In the first place,
though the Times has, under our teaching. learn at
last to spell Mr. GREGORY'S name correctly, it has, through
not waiting for our instruction, made a grievous riusoke
as to the name of the Spanish Commissioner, whom it
styles " a Senor BIS/lUDS; who is brother to the Mi-
nister Zr A B►assUDLZ." This reminds us of the relatior,s
ship the Times once found out for Mr. " GREG° au„," who,
according to that journal, was the brother-in-law of
M. COASTS. The fact is, as we have already stated,
the Spanish Commissioner, Senor Atm AGAO, is a relative
of the Minister, but not, as the Times sap, his brother.
The Times, which knew only of the arrival of these gen-
demen in Paris, when we announced their landing et
Dover, pretends, however, to have full information of the
nature and extent of the Loan, which but a few dat
ago it positively denied to have any existence. The
particulars it now publishes are just as true as any tae
