Reiterated acclamations of Vive lc Rd were heard
during the. whole way. ‘Vhen the procession ar-
rived on the Pont Neuf, in front of the statue of
Henry IV. a deputation of the Dames de la Halle,
carrving a bust of the King, preseuted bouquets to
the -Duke of Bourdeaus anti Mademoiselle.
The procession arrived at Notre Dame at half
past one. The ceremony of the christening took
place in the presence of the Corps Diplomatique, the
MiuLters, Peers, Deputies, Marshals, &c.
The ceremony concluded at four, when his Ma-
jesty returned to the Palace amidst the acclamations
of an immense crowd.
At eight the whole city was illuminated; at nine
there were magnificent lire-works on the Pont de
Louis XVI. The rejoicings continued till a late
hour.
It appears to be determined to establish a line of
telegraphs between Paris and Bourdeaux.
By two ordonnances dated 3d April, the Count
de Montesquieu and the Count de Blacas are cre-
ated Dukes. By another ordonnance of the same
date, the Viscount de Chateaubriant is appointed
Minister of State, and a Member of the Privy
Council.
The Chevalier Bardaxi d'Azara, Spanish Minister
Plenipotentiary in France, set. out on Monday for
Madrid, wh&e he is appointed Minister for Foreigm
Afl'airs.
l'rivate letters from Trieste state that the Aus-
trian and Neapolitan squadrons were assembled in
the Port of Lusin, in Dalmatia, and that they were
to convey to Tarentum a Russian column destined
to occupy Apulia and Calabria. It is hoped that'
the presence of the Russians and the Austrians in
Italy will give to the oppressed majority in Spain
sufficient energy to render all foreign intervention
superfluous.
VIENNA, APRIL B.—The armaments continue
with the greatest activity. All the regiments are
raised to their full complement, and the garrisons
of our principal cities have received orders to march
for Italy.
The first column of the Russian army will arrive
on the Dith, at Presburg; the second will imme-
diately follow.
It is reported that Austria and Russia have offered
their armed intervention to the Ottoman Porte, in
order to re-establish tranquillity in the insurgent
provinces.
FRONTIERS Or MOLDAVIA, APRIL B.—According
to the last accounts, the greatest anxiety prevails at
Bucharest, because the Turks are quitting their for-
tresses and approaching the capital of Wallachia.
Many persons are leaving the country. On the 30th
of March, one of the principal personages of Mol-
davia quitted Jassy.
Inure, APRIL 28.—Signs of an approaching
change are manifest in all the provinces of the Pe-
ninsula. As if by enchantment, a new partizan,
who is said to be at the head of 1000 men, presented
himself, on the 20th of this month, before Salva-
ticrra, four leagues from Vittoria. The National
Guard of this city marched against the rebels; a very
smart action took place, and, after an hour's fighting,
the national guards were forced to yield to numbers,
and to surrender themselves prisoners, with the ex-
ception of only four. These, on their return to
Vittoris, spread the utmost consternation. Orders
were immediately given to all the national guards
of the three provinces of Biscay to take up arms.
On the 24. d and 23d all the roads were covered
with them. Those of St. Sebastian, Yrun, Tolosa,
and Bilboa, have marched in the direction of Vit-
toris. We await with impatience the results ; but
this event has caused much alarm.
On the 18th of April the Bishop of Tarrazona, an
old man of 70, arrived at Bayonne. This ecclesi-
astic, who was Grand Inquisitor in Spain, rendered
himself so obnoxious, that the people expelled him.
He was escorted to !run by 25 horse chusseurs,
commanded by a Colonel and sub-ollieer.

EXPORTATION OF ARMS TO ALEXANDRIA.
The following is a copy of a letter from the
Council Office to the Secretary of the Customs:—
" Council Office, March 1.
SIR,—It having been represented to the Lords of his
Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, that the Officers of
Customs require a special Order of Council foe the exportation of
arms and ammunition for Alexandria, as being on the coast of
Africa, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of the
Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs, that it was not intended
that the General Order, of the :Nil November last, should extend
to the ports of Africa situated within the Straits of Gibraltar, and
that their Lordships are, therefore, of opinion that the °Scars of
Customs should be instructed not to require in future special
orders for the exportation of arms and ammunition to the ports of
Africa which are so situated.
(Signed)
" To the Secretary of Customs."

COTTON TRADE.
Copy of a Treasury Letter relating to the Trade
in Cotton Wool, dated
• Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, March 19.
GENTLEMEN The Lords Commissioner, or his Majesty's
Treasury having had under their consideration thc result of the
experiments to ascertain whether the allowance of four per cent.
far tare on cotton wool might not be reduced, I am commanded
by their lordships to direct you, in lieu of the present allowances
to make an allowance of two per cent. for tare on cotton wool
from the lirasils and St. Domingo, and of three per cent. on
co ton wool from all other places (exclusive of ropes), except in
cases where the merchant shall require the actual tare to be
ascertained, or where the officers of the revenue may deem such
a proceeding advisable.
(Signed) " S. R. Lt'SHINGTON.
To the Commissioners of Customs."

The following is an extract of a letter from
Gibraltar, dated April 15 :—" Mr. Douglas, our
consul for the Empire of Morocco, went in his Ma-
jesty's hired schooner Pacifico two days ago, to
Tangiers, and was received most graciously by the
Prime Minister of the reigning Emperor. Several
valuable presents were sent by him to the 13ritish
government, and he is expected to secure fur us con-
siderable advantages. Muley Said, the brother ut
Muley lbraim, has been proclaimed Emperor atter
the death of the latter in Tetuan; but he retreated
on the advance of his uncle, the Emperor regnant,
and has taken a direction towards Fez, which place,
should he reach it in safety, we may look to for a
continuance of the present cruel warfitre. A Sar-
dinian boat left this place about three weeks since
fur Itabat, with 50,000 dollars of Danish tribute
money, and '2O brass field-pieces."
Volcano in the Mows.-13y a paper read before the
Astronomical Society of London, from 1)r. Gibers,
it appeals that the luminous appearance on the
moon's disc, mentioned by Captain Kater, was seen
theme also. Hut Dr. Gibers adds, that he by •o
means thinks it is a volcano, since the phenomenon
may easiiy be accounted for on other principles, the
particulars of which he will communicate at a future
orrultunity.

SUNDAY, MAY 6.
-new-

The Paris papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last
have arrived. There were none published on Thurs-
day, the preceding day having been entirely devoted
to the festivities in celebration of the baptism of
the Duke of B.urdeaux. We have no later ac-
counts of the progress of affairs in Spain, Italy, or
Turkey, than those furnished by the papers pre•
vioudy received.

Advices from Sicily state, that fourteen vessels
perished in the port of Palermo in a storm that
I:tstcd three clays. It is said that a great many
vessels were also wrecked on the coast of Sardinia.

The Five per Cent. Consols are 82 f. 25 cents
Bank Actions 1,546 f. 25 cents.

The vacation having expired, the two Houses of
Parliament have re-assembled—in the House of
Lords no important motion has been brought for-
ward ; in the Commons the Army Estimates have

been proceeded with, and numerous reductions
moved by way of amendments; these have, it• is
true, been negatived on divisions, but they are not
without their attendant benefits—in the first place,
they prove the infamous extent of extravagance to
which an Administration will go when it is sup-

ported by its own minions of corruption, to support
whom the expenditure is in part requisite, and that
n opposition to nine-tenths of the people who con-
tribute to subsist the reptile breed—in the second
place, through the independent part of the publio
press, it will be known who support such a set of
Army Estimates, which knowledge ought to act as
a proscription on a future election—and in the third
place, by pointing out the increasing necessity of
Reform, it will, we hope, be the means of uniting
the Reformers of every class—the most moderate
with the more extensive—the Whigs with the Ul-
tras or Radicals—and if ever such an union take

place, the present Farce will have approached its
last Act—a Reform cannot be resisted by the few,
if the many resolutely insist upon it ; and however
unwillingly they may consent to it, a Refiirm they
must submit to, as soon as all the pa. lies who wish it
unite to elfin-cc it by every legal means, and that
day, we believe, is not fur distant.

It certainly appears as if there was an intention
on the part of the Holy Alliance to turn their arms
against Spain. In a Vienna article, in the French
Papers, it is said, " Every thing announces that
our whole army is about to be put on the war foot-
ing, and that the Landwehr will be charged with
the interior service. These extraordinary measures
lead to the presumption, that after the occupation
of Piedmont, there will dill be another enterprise
for the re-establishment of the tranquillity of
Europe." There can be little difficulty in conjectur-
ing witut!is the enterprise here alluded to The motley
market would seem to have all along anticipated
something of the sort, for the Austrian success in
Italy have not in the least tended to restore its
onfidence in Austrian paper ; and if the occupation
