On Wednesday the gun-room mess (midshipmen) of the
Britannia gave a farewell dinner to their late excellent and
respected First Lieutenant, Captain Watkins, whose well-
merited promotion is the cause of the separation ; when
the ward-room Officers, his mess-mates in the Victory and
Britannia, were invited to meet him. Few men have been
so many years filling such a responsible situation, and given
such universal satisfaction to his superiors, as well as to his
subordinates, as Captain Watkins. He started for Ply-
mouth in the Emerald, on the following morning, to join
the Cornwallis, to which ship he is appointed ; and, we
feel assured, that he has quitted one post in which he was
esteemed and looked up to only in a new situation, to add
additional value to the creditable estimation in which he is
held in the service.

The Gibraltar Chronicle, of la
..ary 11, contains the
following. The late storm seems t.
~.- ye raged in Malaga
with n;less, or perhaps even with i7.-:#. ter violence than
Gibraltar. Our three men-of-war ItOsthat harbour arc
,
stated, in a letter of the 31st ult., to pave escaped by a
miracle. The following are the particulars, as communi-
cated by the writer :

" On Sunday night a severe gale set in, which increased
towards the morning to such a degree, that the Tyne tore
up the ring on the pier by which she was riding, and surged
over to the other side of the harbour, until she was brought
up by her own anchors. The Orestes broke from her sheet
anchor and drifted into the rollers, which were running in
most furiously, and she was only saved by the instantaneous
decision of her commander, Newell, who had her masts
cut away, without hurt to any one on board. The Jaseur
drove up the harbour, having parted a cable. Thus were
the vessf...ls situated, when the day broke. Before nine
o'clock the Orestes had succeeded in cutting her masts
away—the only way to save her. The Jascur had thrown
six of her guns overboard (since recovered), and started
all her water ; and the Tyne, which had been thumping
nearly the whole day, knocked away her rudder ;- no fewer
than four vessels had been clashed to shivers within a few
yards of her. Under the direction of the Consul (Mr.
Mark) and his two sons, who, from day-break till sun-
set, were up to their knees in water, and very much ex-
posed, as the tiles of the houses, and all moveable things
were blown about by the high wind, every possible
exertion was made to render assistance. Cables were got
on board the Jaseur, by which she rode. She has since
resumed her station at Gibraltar. It was repeatedly at-
tempted to reach the Tyne with a hawser to bring her
cable on shore again ; but the distance was so great, and
the weather so tempestuous, that it could not be accom-
plished till near four in the afternoon. An attempt was
also made to remove the crew of the Orestes before night ;
but it proved impossible, as the means employed during the
clay were literally worn out, and the work, the rain, the
cold, and the fear had so jaded the labourers, that had any-
thing depended on the most trailg exertion, that exertion
would have been wanting. Towards night the rain increased
and the storm diminished. The Orestes had no remedy
but to ride out where she was for the night, and about four
o'clock in the morning she knocked her rudder off. On
that morning the gale so far abated that nll the ships were
warped into safe berths, without having lost a single man.
The people were also saved from the vessels which were
wrecked. The only loss the Tyne knew of, at first, was
that of her rudder ; but in sweeping for the rudder of the
Orestes she fished,up forty feet of her own main keel and
dead wood abaft. It was not known where she would go
to be repaired ; but it is not unlikely she will be cleared out
and sold.

A woman was taken up in Dublin for a robbery to
the amount of 3201. She succeeded in swallowing three of
the notes, two fur 100/. each, and one for 201. The remaining
note was fortunately, and by fore,, ejected from be.- jaws.
On Tuesday last, whilst the carpenters employed in
the repairs of the Sarah were making preparations for her
launch f;om the patent slip at this port ( Whitehaven) the ves-
sel suddenly moved off several hours before the time the cere-
mony was intended to take place, and dashed along at a most
tremeJ2us rate to the foot of the ways, breaking to atoms in
her career ;he massive iron rates between the yard and the
graving bank. Fortunately it was nearly low water at the
time, and no vessels hafpened to be lying in her course, other-
wise the consequeuces might have been of a serious nature,
but with the exception of demolishing the gates no damage
whatever was sustained. The cradle was not secured by the
chain to the machinery at the head of the yard. and by some
-oversight the poles were not down, or, if they were, had not
tiken effect, and hence the unlooked-for launch.—Cantber-
latid Pacquet.
HYDRoPnoBIA.—It has now been clearly aseer-
tained by the ablest veterinary practitioners and plvietans
on
the Continent, that, out of 100 cases of reputed hydrophobia,
scarcely one is a true case, the rest belonging to a
alarm whichmalady
by
.li
no means dangerous or contagious. foolis
causes people hastily to destroy, instead
.of tying the dog in-
fected up, to ascertain the result, has instead
prevented the
real nature of the cases from being known. Fear and the in-
cautious reports in the newspapers have also much contributed
to spread the disease, by means of the powerful operation of
the mind over the body. In certain States in Germany news-
papers are forbid to report cases of canine madness, arid other
violent diseases, on this account. It is known that in Prussia
a false cry of " mad dog.' is often set up by Magistrates in
the game countries, in order to induce the poor to destroy
their dogs. Of this abuse they should be aware, in other coun-
tries besides Prussia. We have the same thing done in Eng-
land.

Terence Blake, one of the last sur;iving sufferers
by the late dreadful cNplc;sion of gunpowder, died last week in
the Ciiy 1,114111m.y. This makes the 19th tiictiut ; although,
,xe add a female that died of the ab,olute effects of fright, the
cAtalogue mates twenty.—Limerick Oironick.

chester paper last Wednesday :—" Feerich and German Lan-

The thermometer has at length, by degrees, attained
an elevation which promises a change, and it is to be hoped,.

BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.
SIR,
We the undersigned Electors of the Borough of 11Jarylebone,
having seen the Public Announcement of your intention to retire
from the Representation of the Monmouthshire Boroughs, and the
honourable testimonials paid to your character and integrity by your
constituents, and having viewed your conduct and votes during the
last three Parliaments, your unflinching support of all liberal mea-
sures, and your uncompromising adherence to the cause of pro-
gressive Reform, do hereby request you will permit us to nomi-
nate you as a fit and proper person to represent this Borough in
Parliament.

(Here follow the signatures.)
To Benjamin Hall, Esq., M.P.
Mr. HALL'S ANSWER.

GENTLEMEN,
I feel highly honoured by the requisition you have presented to
me, for my consent to be put in nomination as a Candidate for the
Borough of Marylebone at the next dissolution of Parliament. It
is particularly gratifying to me to receive such a testimony of appro-
bation from so large a portion of the most important constituency
in the kingdom, and the consciousness that I owe this proof of con-
dence to my public conduct renders it doubly satisfactory.
On the great subjects of shortening the duration of Parliaments
—the extension of the suffrage—th repeal of the rate-paying
clauses of the Reform Act—the ballot, and other leading measures
of real reform, my opinions are already recorded ; and as not
merely these questions, but others of nearly equal importance will
soon be brought under the consideration of the House of Commons,
it would be needless for me to enter into any detail of my political
creed, or to make professions, excepting so far as to assure you
that I shall continue to be actuated by the same principles which
have hitherto decided my conduct, believing that, by the removal
of all existing abuses in our institutions, and by the repeal or alter-
ation of those statutes, which in their operation are found to act
harshly or injuriously, the civil and religious liberties of my fellow-
subjects can best be maintained.
I understand that you take this step in anticipation of a vacancy
occurring in the representation of your borough at the next disso-
lution of Parliament--whether this expectation be realized or not,
I venture to impress upon you the necessity of preserving that per-
fect unanimity which should characterise the proceedings of the
Liberal party. Our political opponents are ever active and well
organised ; and the only possible'hope they have of success in the
present instance is built upon the chance of a schism taking place
amongst you. As regards myself, that hope shall not be realised.
I have r 6 de. ire, to create disuhien in your ranks, or to advance the
objects of your political adversaries. But should the electors ge-
berally desire that I should represent them, and will honour me
with their suffrages, I will use my best endeavours to secure their
political rights, and by residing in your district, and thus becoming
more immediately ecnnectcd with you, endeavour to promote your
local interests.
Permit me again to assure yen that I am most sensible of the
honour you have already conferred upon me, and that
I am, Gentlemen,
Your much obliged and most obedient humble servani,
St. James's-place, Pcb. 4, 18:37. B. HALL.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1837.

The public organs of the Tories are trying the
powers of their lungs, in proclaiming the unprecedented
triumph of their cause which has been achieved in the
borough of Evesham. Those of them that belong to
the masculine gender crow, others—poor old Granny
for instance—cackle, as if the fate of empites had de-
pended upon the result of this election. Now the truth
is, -that if there be any cause for triumph, it is alto-
titer on the other side. Evesham, every body knows,
has long been one of the most corrupt little snuggeries
in the kingdom, and it is no small proof of the honest and
liberal spirit which has sprung up in that borough, since
the Reform Bill let in some fresh flood into the old
puddle, that the Tory candidate, with all the arts
whic:l his party know so well how to use ithout any
" compunctions visitings," could muster no greater
majority than 25 votes : This is no doubt a symptom
of reaction as conclusive as that of the increase in the
Scotch life-renterb which we had the pleasure of il-
lustrating on Saturday. Of the candidate whom the
old potwallopers of Evesham have bowled into the
House of Commons, we know nothing, and shall
therefore say nothing—except that we have not the least
doubt he will be a fit associate for Mr. OTHELLO
I3oRTHWICK.
PI

rom a return published by the Treasury, it appears
that the number of Churchlivings in the gift of the
Crown (including those in the gift of the LORD
CHANCELLOR, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of
LANCASTER), amounts to 934 ; and the annual
value to 281,2251. ; that those in the gift of the Arch-
bishops, Bishops, Deans, &c., amount to the enormous
number of 3,810, and the annual value to 1,128,7861.;
and those in the disposal of universities, colleges,
MVIS, amount to 939, and the annual value to

:348,157/. This number, together with the Lvings at
the disposal of private individuals, makes an aggregate
of 10,473 with an annual revenue amounting to
3,184,0211. This is independant of the incomes of
the two archbishops and the 24 bishops, who have
from 15,0001. to 4,5001. a-year each, and also vast
revenues possessed by Deans, and Chapters, Precen-
tors, Prebends, Canons—great and small, and all
those other dignitaries, who are of as Much use to the
public as the owls and bats that nestle in the fretted
roofs, or disport themselves in the long aisles and quires
of old cathedrals. Considering this vast income, and
more particularly that part of it paid, not for service
done, but out of mockery, as it were, of the Reforma-
tion. Can it be denied that there is more than enough
to provide liberally for every efficient clergyman from
the, highest to the lowest, and yet leave twice the sum
required to remove the odious tax of Church-rates ?
Much has been said of the wisdom of our ancestors,
and little of their ignorance ; but if a balance were
struck between them, where would be the cause for
boasting ? Accident—the caprice of a tyrant—and
circumstances in which wisdom had little share, pro-
duced the greatest event in the history of this country
—the Reformation. Time and the wisdom of the
present generation have done something to complete
it, and remove those defects and abuses which the ig-
norance of the subjects of Henry VIII. entailed on
their posterity, but much yet remains to be done. No
Englishman reads the history of that period without
feelings of utter humiliation for the apathy, ignorance,
and slavish disposition of the people, and of
the most poignant regret, that no advantage was taken
of an event so pregnant with beneficial consequences.
The title of the religion of the country was changed,
but every abuse of the old system remained. Church
lands, which should have been set apart for the relief
• of the poor, were given to favourites ; the liturgy was
partially altered, and new canons were framed, but the
great abuses in the secular affairs of the Church—the
deaneries, prebendaries, canonric3, and all the sine-
cures—remained. These the wisdom of our ancestors
handed clown to us unimpaired; were the work to be
begun anew, and had the wisdom of the present age to
deal with such abuses, we can easily imagine what
havock would be made among the drones in the
Church ; but the sanction of time, and the vast number
of persons interested, forbid the hope of a speedy and
effectual change. The people however will not despair.
If their energy and unanimity have within six years
effected miraculous reforms in the State, the same
qualities will not be exerted in vain in reforming the
Church.' The Dissenters have very properly com-
menced with the Church-rates—they will be backed
by all the liberal and disinterested portion of the com-
munity ; and however averse the Lords may be to
sanction a satisfactory measure, the leaders of the Tory
party will not rashly provoke the unconquerable hosti-
lity of such a powerful body, by refusing them imme-
diate redress.

The subject brought forward by Mr. HORSMAN on
Friday in the Commons is the most important that
has come under the consideration of the House since
the agitation of the Reform Bill. It has hitherto at-
tracted little notice in this part of the island, because
the system—like all systems of a disgraceful and illegal
nature—was carried on in silence, and indeed has
hardly been noticed in Scotland, except in some of the
speeches made by Reform Members at public dinners
during the last autumn ; but the evil has now increased
to such an extent, and the effect of example is so dan-
gerous, that unless a remedy be provided, the Reform
Bill, in all but the large towns, will become a dead
letter. The party privy to the scheme have formed a
conspiracy—for it deserves no better name—to create
fictitious votes to an extent which in the end must rob
the bonaple elector of the right conferred on him by
the act of 1832. They have commenced their opera-
tions in the south' of Scotland through the means
of joint-tenancy, whereby the tenant of a Tory land
lord is compelled to include all his sons in the lease,
by the creation also of merely nominal and paper votes,
which they have conferred on game-keepers, farm
servants, butlers, clerks of attorneys, and even on day
labourers ; and to such an extent that the number of
non-resident electors and the holders of these fraudu-
lent votes have been doubled, nay, trebled, in five or
six counties. The system is in progress in every di-
rection, it will extend into England and Ireland, and
unless a speedy remedy be provided by the Legislature,
the franchise of all the counties in the United King-
dom will be as completely in the hands of the Aris-
tocracy as it was in Scotland previous to the Reform
Bill. On the passing of that Bill the Tory landlords
in that county breathed the utmost vengeance against
the authors of it, and scrupled not to declare their in-
tention of recovering by every means that power of
which they assert they had been robbed. They
have set about it in earnest, and the means they
have employed, show that they will be deterred by no
scruples from effecting their purpose. And who arc
the men that commit such a flagrant infraction of the
Reform Bill ? The very men who profess to be fol-
lowers of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who professes without
ceasing to adhere scrupulously to the principles of that.
great measure. This first specimen shows what their
professions are worth, and the people of this country
may rest assured that, unless they guard with vigi-
lance the great prize which their united exertions ob-
tained in 1832, and keep such men out of power, the
next specimen will leave them but little to boast of.
The system has been so admirably described, and the
consequences so forcibly pointed out by Mr. HORS-
MAN, that we cannot give our readers better advice
than to study his excellent speech. So systematic
had the plan been in character—so well organised it
its arrangement—so decisive in point of execution,
that at this moment several of the counties in Scotland
had been reduced to the narrowest limits, and had been
thrown as completely into the hands of the old monopo-
lists, as if no Reform Bill had ever passed.

It will be seen by an advertisement in another part
of The Sun, that a numerously signed requisition has
been presented by the electors of Marylebone to Mr.
B. HALL, inviting that Gentleman to stand for the
Borough at the next general election. Mr. HALL
has accepted the invitation, on condition that it
be confirmed by the voice of the electors generally.
In the address which he has published on this occa-
sion, and which is characterized by great manliness of
sentiment, and by that disinterestedness of principle
which sinks the individual in the cause which he
seeks to promote, Mr. HALL declares his determina-
tion not to be ,the means of creating disunion
among the Liberals of Maryleßone. He very justly
observes, that the only hope of - the Tories lies
in the disunion of the Reformers. This is not a stir-
! mise—a vain conjecture—it is their own confession,
and even their public boast. What then is the course
which common sense points out to the Reformers ?
Not surely to play the game, and realize the hopes, of
their opponents, by squabbles and divisions among
themselves, but to be united—to be united at al
hazards. This advice can never be too often repeated,
and Mr. HALL shews his practical wisdom as well as
his patriotism, in endeavouring to impress it upon
that great constituency, whose representative we hope
soon to be able to hail him.

Of Mr. HALL'S principles as a Reformer, it is
quite unnecessary for us to say anything. He has
made great struggles, and no small sacrifices, to ad-
vance the interests of the cause to which he is so
much attached. In his arduous attempt to overthrow
the deep-rooted influence of the old faction in the

lonmouth district of boroughs, he was at last suc-
cessful ; and his Parliamentary career has been such,
as must meet the approbation of every true friend of
Reform. Mr. HALL has recorded his opinions in
favour of shortening the duration of Parliaments, the
extension of the suffrage, the Ballot, and the repeal of
the rate-paying clause of the Reform Bill. Need we
say any more ?

We have just seen a pamphlet, entitled
" Ireland
and Lord Mur.GnAvE," which recapitulates in a
candid and dispassionate manner the benefits that have
been conferred on that country during his Lordship's
Viceroyalty. "To tranquillise the people," says the
writer, " with all the causes of di-s-turbanee in activity :
to hush the demand for a domestic Parliament, with
the spirit of Lord LYNDHURST'S anathema directing
the whole Irish policy of one estate of the realm—these
were the objects to be effected. The Rockite was
to be subdued, with the abuses of the tithe system
flourishing ; the Orangemen controlled, in the posses-
sion of his strong holds ; the Repealer silenced, in
the full force of his argument. These were difficult
undertakings, but they have been executed. Society,
which was on the brink of disorganization when Lord
MULGRA VE went to Ireland, has been restored to the
blessings of order ; the law, which was despised in the
North, hated in the South, and every where bearded,
has been established in its authority ; the Union,
which had no advocates, has now no opponents." The
writer then goes on to exhibit the results of
the new system upon which Irish affairs have
been conducted for the . last eighteen months ;
and proves, by extracts from charges lately
delivered by the different Judges of Assize, that the
spirit of Lord MULGR A VE'S policy has been in every
way beneficial. " Beneath the scowl of the Peerage,"
says he, " under the displeasure of the ermine, with-
out much succour from the pulpit, the extensive social
improvement of Ireland has been effected." And yet
there are at this moment Conservatives hardy enough
to deny that any praise is due to Lord MULGRAVE,
or that any substantial benefits have been conferred
by him on Ireland ! Those who are really desirous
of knowing how many blessings his Lordship has
been the fortunate means of bestowing on that coun-
try, and also under what dispiriting circumstances
these blessings were bestowed, should make a point
of reading this pamphlet, which is by far the most
lucid and convincing that we have yet met with on
the subject.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday loudly
complain of the absence of all mention of France in
his Britannic MAJESTY'S Speech at the opening of
the present Session of Parliament. The omission has
deeply wounded the national vanity of men of every
party, and is generally regarded as a proof of the re-
laxation of the alliance between the two countries.
There is nothing in such an omission to justify so far-
fetched and unfounded an inference. The alliance of
Great Britain with the French nation has suffered no
relaxation. The liberties of the French people are as
dear to us as arc the privileges which we ourselves
enjoy ; and they cannot deny but that our sympathy
was extended to them on' a late occasion, when, bad
we not been sincere in friendship, we might have in-
dulged in comments which, if prompted by national
jealousy, would have pained them exceedingly. Of
course we carefully eschew all reference to the sen-
timents of the British Cabinet when we state,
that the French KING and the French nation are
antagonist ideas in the minds of the majority of
the British people. When we speak of Lours
PHILIPPE in language—prompted by the des-
potism of Government measures, which we know
to emanate from him, we:inean_not to include the
French people in our censures:-, They are the ag-
grieved, not the aggressors, in such instances. Now,
although we presume not to say that the British Ca-
binet views the policy of the French KING in the
same light that we do—that it makes a distinction be-
twen the acts of the SOVEREIGN and the will of his
subjects, although, according to the etiquette ob-
served on such occasions, a compliment paid to a
reigning Prince is allowed to extend to the whole of
his people—we will thank the Parisian Press to State
what could a King of England say under such circum-
stances? Was he to lament that Marshal CLAUSEL
had suffered a defeat in Africa.? Most assuredly he
could not, without compromising the honour and dig-
nity of the British Throne. The French Press must
be well aware of the fact, that the war in Africa is
continued in open violation of a pledge given
by LOUIS PHILIPPE for the evacuation of Al-

Biers ; and, moreover, that the dominion of France
in Africa, though generously permitted by Eng-
land, may seriously affect our future interests,
and is not quite in accordance with the faith

of treaties. Upon what topic, then, could the King
of ENGLAND congratulate his brother of the FRENCH
Not upon a joint fulfilment of the articles of the Qua-
druple Treaty ; • for the British Cabinet has tacitly
censured the conduct of the French Government with
respect to this very treaty. Not upon the restoration of
social order in France, for while Ministers were in
the very act of composing the Speech, their ears were
stunned with accounts of the revolts at Strasburg and
Vendome, and of the regicidal attempt of the villain
MEUNIER. There was, therefore, no room whatever
for an honourable mention of France in the Royal
Speech at the opening of the last Session of Parlia-
ment. This to us is a matter of deep regret. We
could wish it were otherwise, for the sake of the French
people themselves. We appreciate their love of glory,
of liberty, and of country ; we sympathize with them
in their struggles for freedom, and, therefore, it is that

we sec no real cause . for apprehending a relaxation of

an alliance which Was never meant to display itself in
compliments to Kings, at the expense of truth and
decency.
We dwell the longer upon this point, because we
see clearly that France begins to evince symptoms of
jealousy at the increase of our influence in Spain, and
that more than one journal has expressed pleasure at
the insult recently offered us by Russia. Our influ-
ence in Spain has not been obtained by any underhand
proceeding. Such as it is, we have paid handsomely
for it ; but we must do ourselves the justice to state
not grudgingly, nor in a way calculated to wound the
feelings of the Spanish nation. France at a less cost
might have obtained an influence in the Peninsula
greater than we can boast of, but instead of doing so,
she chose—or rather Lours PHILIPPE chose—to be-
tray the Constitutional cause at the moment of its
greatest weakness ; and now we hear of nothing but
jealous murmurings respecting the overwhelming in-
fluence of Great Britain in the Peninsula. Is such
conduct worthy of a great and powerful nation like
France ? Are such base insinuations worthy of her
Press and her people ? With respect to the capture of
the Vixen by Russia, we will only observe, that all
comments upon that affair, by neutral journalists, arc
exceedingly premature. It will be time enough to
sneer at us when our Government has signified its
willingness to put up with any indignity offered to the
British flag. Thirty years have not elapsed since we
took the field against one-half of Europe, and sub-
sidized the other—a fact which will not be disputed
by the French journalists ; and we have pride in as-
serting that the courage, the physical strength, and the
resources of Old England arc not in a worse condition
now than they were then. We dread not a war with
Russia ; on the contrary, we are delighted at the
prospect of a contest which will restore Poland to her
ancient place in the map of Europe. Single-banded,

England will not shrink from a struggle which must '
terminate in the ascendancy of liberal principles
throughout Europe. It may suit the crooked policy
of Louts tOMill neiltralf or possibly
NESSELRODE may seek to refer the question in dis-
pute to his Most Christian MAJESTY'S arbitration ;
but we hope it will be found not to accord with
English notions of national dignity, to stoop to the
acceptance of pecuniary compensation for an insult
offered to the British flag. The cause in which
England is called upon to draw the sword is thrice
sacred—sacred to British honour, sacred to the exis-
tence of the Ottoman Empire, and sacred to the de-
liverance of oppressed, denationalized Poland.
The following are extracts from the Paris journals :

Nuts, FEB 3.--We arc assured that a courier from Con-
stantinople arrived the day before yesterday, who came by way
of Vienna. The accounts which he has brought are said to
be of great importance, and such as to require the return of
Admiral Roussin to Turkey. New and serious difficulties arc
stated to have arisen between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali,
the latter being accused by the Porte of exciting the subjects
of the Sultan to rebellion—of not paying the arrear of tribute,
amounting to five millions—and lastly, of opposing to the
claims of the Ottoman treasury false accounts, which the Sultan
considers as a covert refusal to perform his engagements.
It is added that the Porte has addressed to the great
Powers a Memorandum, in which all the grounds of
complaint against the Viceroy of Egypt are stated, with the
proof of the facts alleged ; and that in this Memorandum
the Porte calls for an effective intervention to compel that
great vassal to return to his duty. In case these complaints
are not promptly attended to, the Porte is said to threaten to
do itself justice, at the same time refusing to take on itself any
responsibility from the consequences of this resolution.
The journals of the Lower Rhine of the Ist February con-
tain nothing that can justify the reports spread yesterday.
The absolute silence of those papers rather seems to prove that
the tranquillity of Strasburg has not been interrupted. One
of them says, indeed, that the officers who absented themselves
from the trial had surrendered themselves prisoners; but
merely states the fact without any observation.—Messager,
Feb. 4.

PARTS, FEB. 3.—lt is considered as nearly certain that the
Governments of France and England have resolved to take on
themselves the expense of maintaining two Foreign Legions in
Spain.
FEB. 4.—The Moniteur has no official part.
It is said that General Espartero is seriously ill.
Don Carlos was on the 23d at Durango, having returned
from Tornosa.

No confirmation has been received of tho death of the King
of Sardinia, which was announced by a journal yesterday.—

Brussels and German papers have been received.
The advices from various parts of Turkey represent
the prevalence of the plague as very alarming. In
Constantinople it continues to make the most dreadful
ravages. The news from Belgium is wholly unim-
portant. The German journals are generally sup-
porting the part of England against Russia.
