that the result may be such as the friends of humanity
have a right to expect from an enlightened Legislature.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa-
turday have been received, together with letters from
San Sebastian of the sth, and Bayonne of the 7th inst.
The Moniteur of Friday contains a Report, addressed
by General BERNARD, Minister of War, to the KING,
recommending the punishment of the twenty-nine
officers of the 62d Regiment, who publicly protested
against the charges of plunder preferred against it
by Marshal CLAUSEL in his account of the recent
catastrophe attending the French arms in Africa.
General BERNARD recommends the KING to CCM-I-
nland nine of the officers to be placed on half-
pay, for having refused to obey the orders of the War
Minister, commanding them to retract their protest
against the Marshal's despatch, two of the senior odi-
cers of each rank of the remainder to be similarly
punished for making an apology subject to limitations,
by which they only yielded a partial obedience to the
Ministerial command ; and that the rest, without ex-
ception, shall be imprisoned for two months. His
MAJESTY has approved of this report, so that it car-
ries with it all the weight of a Royal Ordinance. It is
a curious feature in this proceeding that General BER-
NARD in his Report does not hesitate to pronounce
the publication of the officers' protest in the journals,
whereby an appeal is made to the nation, as the most
heinous part of their offence. The protest itself might
have been forgiven, but the Minister cannot forgive an
appeal from the army to the people. In no country
will the purport of such language as this be better un-
derstood than in France. The object of the Govern-
ment is clearly to make the widest distinction possible
between the soldier and the citizen. We shall soon see
in what way all these schemes will succeed. The war
Minister incurs a heavy responsibility by his report
to the KING, and his Majesty in approving of it
provokes an opposition of which it would be fatal to
miscalculate the influence.
In the Chamber of Deputies on Friday a most cla-
morous debate took place on the bringing up the Re-
port of the Committee recommending the grant of a
million of francs (40,0001.) as a dowry for the Queen
of the BELGIANS. M. L'HERBETTE, Deputy for
Soissons, violently opposed the printing of the Re-
port, insisting that before the Chamber could take it
into consideration, the rent-roll of the ICING must be
produced, and the exact amount of his MAJESTY'S
private property be fully ascertained. He taxed
Louts PHILIPPE with possessing, in addition to the
vast domains of the Crown and the House of Or-
leans, the immense possessions of the late Prince of
CONDE, which his Ministry held in the name of his
son, the Duke D'AUMA LE ; and he maintained, ac-
cording to the 21st article of the law of 1832, the
Chamber was not to be called upon to grant dowers to
the KING'S sons and daughters, save only in case
of poverty and inability on the part of their
Royal parent. The scenes of uproar by which
these observations were interrupted arc indescri-
bable. The Minister of Public Instruction thumped
his desk, and• seemed half beside himself with rage,
and MM. PERSIL, DUCIIATEL,JAUBERT,and FUL-
CHIRON rose in a body and appeared frantic with
passion. The last named Deputy in particular
was so agitated that he completely lost the power of
articulating a single word, though he twice ascended
the tribune in order to reply to M. L'HERBETTE.
On the other side MM. MALLEVILLE, SALVERTE,
UGUIS, and GLots-131zoix maintained that the
Hon. Deputy for Soissons was perfectly in order, and
encouraged. him to go on. The President during the
greater part of the time these disgraceful scenes were
taking place kept ringing his bell, and at last was about
to move the " previous question," when M. L'IIER-
BETTE, who stood undismayed amid the hurricane
raging around him, gave him a most severe and not
unmerited rebuke for the partiality displayed by him
throughout the discussion. M. D UPI N defended

himself, but ii► a manner which proved that M. L'HER_
BETTE had galled him to the quick. The discussion
closed here, the last named Deputy ending it with a
declaratio❑ that " Princes would ever find ►n that Hall
servile adherents and slavish partizans"--a declaration
which appeared greatly to annoy the occupants of the
M►nisterial benches. TI-e Report was then received ;
after which the law on Public Works was put to the
vote, and carried by a majority of 163. Iu the sitting
of Saturday M. VA TRY prese►►ted a petition from
Martinique, for the abolitio❑ of the slave trade.
After a brief discussion, it was referred, together
w►tl► some others on local subjects, to the President
of the Council.

Ministers have withdrawn the Bill introduced in the
Chamber of Peers for the punishment of all persons
neglecting to denounce plots against the Government
of which they might in any way become cognizant, to
the Minister of the Interior, or the Police. They were
apprehensive that it would share the fate of the
Disjunction Bill, so they have been forced to tell
the KING that his MAJESTY must do the best

he can without it. Of course there will be no
want of plots or conspiracies, in order that an ignorant
clamour may be got up against the Liberal Opposition
in the Chamber of Deputies. Ministers are sadly in
want of so-le fresh proof of their own loyal foresight,
and of the indifference of their political opponents, to
the preservation of his " accidental" MAJESTY, the
Sovereign of the French.
There is not a syllable of news worth communicat-
ing from the north of Spain. At St. Sebastian and
Bayonne matters remained on the sth as they were
on the first day of the month. Lord JOHN HAY,
Captain MAITLAND, Colonel WYLDE, and Colonel
WAKEFIELD, inspected the right bank of the Bidas-
soa on the 6th, and afterwards proceeded to Bayonne.
All is ready for a movement, but it is extremely uncer-
tain when one will take place. ESPARTERO will not
move till the Government sanction all his appoint-
ments-.a most loyal condition, emanating, as it does,
from a conqueror by " accident." What arc the Mi-
nisters about, that they suffer such dictation from an
officer of doubtful loyalty ?

Madrid Journals to the 4th inst. have beeu received.
The Gazelle of the 2nd contains the Royal Decree,
appointing Count ALMADOVAR Minister of .war.
It is followed by an address from his Excellency to
the army and the inhabitants of the disturbed pro-
vinces, full of the usual commonplaces and anticipa-
tions of victory. At Cuenca all was disorder, and in
Arragon, Catalonia, and Valencia, the rebels were
fast gaining ground, owing to the jealousies and dis-
sensions prevailing among the QUEEN'S Generals.
The Portuguese Legion had openly revolted against
its officers, several of whom it shot. Boßso, the
commander narrowly escaped with his life, and on the
3d instant had reached the capital in a most miserable
plight. The greatest part of this mischief has been
caused, not by the Carlists, but by the supporters of
MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, TORENO, and the Royal
Statute. The state of Spain is truly deplorable, and
calls for active intervention on the part of England
and France.

Brussels and Gorman Papers hare ban received.
