We have received the Madrid journals of the
31st ult.

The Ministerial journal El Orden has ceased to
appear; for the future, says the Herald°, the Govern-
ment does not intend to have any other organ than
the Gazette.
.Las Novedades, El Catolico, and El Ob-
servador, which suspended publication after the last
decree on the press, have not yet been able to find
responsible editors according to the conditions of that
decree. _

The adjudication of the railway from Aranjuez to
Almansa took plxce on the 31st ult. The Govern-
ment had fixed the maximum price at 220,000,000
reals. Messrs. SHEA. and Co. tendered for 219,000,000
reels ; M. JOSE CAMPES for 200,000,000 ; and M.
JOSE SALAMANCA for 190,000,000; and the last
named was accepted.
By a Royal decree it is ordered that no one shall
in future build a theatre without permission from the
Government: the theatre and all theatrical pieces i
brought out n any part of the kingdom are placed
under the control of lour censors, resident in Madrid,
under the orders of the Minister of the Interior.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The report that a slight would be thrown on the
newly-organized National Guards, by retracting the
order for a public distribution of the Eagles, would
appear to have been founded on a misapprehension.
The Patric., which had countenanced the report, now
has the following
"From information which we have received we can
now affirm that there will be a review of the National
Guard and a distribution of Eagles on the 15th. It was
hoped that the Nktional Guards of the departments
might have token part in the ceremony; but as
their organization is not sufficiently complete, the
Eagles will be delivered to them by the local autho-
rities. The National Guard of the department of the
Seine will alone be convoked for the ceremony of
the 15th."
The lLfoniteur copies and authenticates the latter
statement of the Patrie.
The Moniteur contains a notice of the elections for
councils-general and councils of arrondissements,
which is of some importance as a declaration of the
determination of the Government to profit by the
trust reposed on it for the consolidation of tranquillity
and the development of credit and national prosperity.
A great deal has been said by some of the journals of
the abstentious of electors, and even a Ministerial
organ has called this a culpable indolence, arising,
however,
The Presse, which, although an Opposition journal,
it said, from confidence in the Government.
is willing to admit the force of the arguments on the
other side, has observed that the abstentions may
to a great extent be ascribed to confidence in the
Government, but that some account ought to be
taken of the abstentions arising from the
absence of candidateships representing different
political principles. This absence, however,
is not a very conclusive argument for the opposition,
for it may be ascribed to a conviction of the hopeless.
ness of a struggle against tie Government, and is
therefore an indication of the nfluence that the latter
has over the electors. The Aloniteur is silent on this
point. It assumes that the insult of the elections, as
far as they have gene, shows the confidence reposed
in the Government, and promises to make use of it in
a sense favourable to the tree interests of the country.
This announcement coming at the moment when the
party spirit was endeavouring to cause it to be be-
lieved that the Government was desirous of popu-
larity with the masses, in order to diminish the in-
fluence of the bourgeoisie, must tend to tranquillize
that important class of the nation ; for if the power
derived from universal suffrage be exercised in sup-
port of credit and iniustry, the bourgeoisie must of
necessity be placed in the position that it ought to
Possess, and it will be its own fault if it does not
maintain that position.
A decree which is published in the Moniteur con-
vokes the Ceuncils• General for the 23d inst.
M. TONY JOHANNOT, a well-known painter, died
on Wednesday, in Paris, of apoplexy.
The much talked-of book of M. PRUDHON has ap-
peared to-clay. He concludes by the following pas-
sage, extraordinary in the mouth of a republicaan :
" Louis Napoleon is really the object of the people.
The people, you say, were not free. The people were
deceived. The people were afraid. Vain pretexts.
Are men afraid? Are they deceived in such cases? Do
they want liberty ? We, the republicans, have repeated,
upon the faith of our most suspected traditions, • Vox
populi vox Dei.' The voice of God has named Louis
Napoleon. As the expression of the popular will he is
the most legitimate el sovereigns."
The following letter of the Bishop of GAP to the
Bishop of ORLEANS, on the vexed question of classical
education, is going the round of the Paris papers, most
of which present it es an astonishing specimen of ec-
clesiastical blasphemy
MONSEIGNEUR,—
" I believe in God, Creator of the univers, but I do
not believe in the good faith of those who desire to
destroy the Univers (newspaper organ of the priests op-
posed to the classics).
" I believe in Jesus Christ, who has established his
Church through the Christian doctors, and not the doc-
tors of paganism.
" I believe in the Holy Ghost, who has spoken by
prophets and not by sy bits.
" I believe in the communion of saints; but I do not
believe in that of the Gazette, the Siecle, the Debate,
the Prase, and the Charivari.
"1 believe in the resurrection of the dead; but I fear
much that of the Gallicans and Parliamentarians.
"I believe in life eternal, but not that of the Elysean
fields, however finely painted by pagan poets.
" That is to say, monseigneur, I am for the adoption
of Christian authors in due proportion, without renounc-
ieg the chefs erceuvre of Rome and of Athens, although
they must be carefully expurgated from what is hurtful
to good manners and the Catholic faith.
"I have the honour, &c.,
(Signed) " f IRENCE, Bishop of Gap."
