members of it who would vote for his removal from
the command of the army are afraid of determining
upon such a step. They tried first to disgust him by
communicating all military instructions to him through
General ORAA, his subordinate in command, and,
moreover, an officer for whom he is known to entertain
sentiments of personal dislike ; but that failed. The
Commander-in-Chief was in a towering passion, but
he took care to avoid everything like a threat of re-
signation. He was next elevated to the War De-
partment, in the hope that he would repair to the
capital, where Ministers could deal with him apart
from the army ; but here again they failed as sig-
nally as before. In a word the Government, as
now modified and controlled, cannot help itself,
and in the excess of its weakness is grateful when its
servants do not betray it. For this evil the Cortes
only can supply an effectual remedy ; and were the
Members of the Cabinet to make the Chamber fully
acquainted with the difficulties they experience, that
Assembly would bestir itself more actively in defence of
the liberties of the Spanish nation. But to crown the
mischief, the Ministers are, one and all, in love with
their places ; and to retain them, they culpably conceal
facts with which it is of the utmost importance that the
Cortes should be made officially acquainted. To keep
up the monarchical farce of the mystery which conceals
from vulgar eyes the official machinery of the chief
Executive Administration, and to keep themselves in
office, they pursue a line of policy which threatens
Spain with the infliction of an interminable civil war.

Reports reached Madrid on the 6th that Segovia
had been pillaged for several hours by the Carlist
troops, who quitted the town laden with booty, and
glutted with the commission of the vilest excesses. The
Governor of LA GRANJA had taken to his heels, al-
though no enemy had appeared to cause him the slightest
alarm. The Escurial has been put in a state of defence,
and troops had left Madrid to protect both the village
and Royal residence of Aranjuez.

The whole of the Paris journals of Monday have
been received. They contain no domestic news of any
interest. Previous to his departure for Africa, the
Duke de NEMOURS proposes to remain for a short
time at Brighton. No motive is assigned for his
Royal Highness' visit to England. The Royal
Family continue to pass their time very agreeably in
Normandy. The following brief extracts are from the
French journals :

According to the news which we have received from the
theatre of war, the expedition of the Ebro, after the cap-
ture of Segovia, has continued its march towards Madrid,
less perhaps with the intention of making any serious at-
tempt on that capital than in order to excite alarm, and
oblige the Queen-Regent and her Ministers to remove the
seat of Government to some other place. However this
may be, this rapid movement of the little army engaged in
this expedition may have the immediate effect of compelling
Espartero to go himself or to send troops to Madrid.
Charles V., being relieved from the presence of a part of
the enemy's forces, will then be master of his movements.
AUGUST 14.—The two telegraphic despatches, published
in the Moniteur this morning, confirm the above reports.
—Gazette de France, Aug. 14.
There is no official article in the Moniteur this morning.
Our correspondent at Toulon writes, on the 10th :
" The squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral
Gallois is making, in all haste, preparations to depart.
This squadron is to proceed immediately to the Levant ;
it is thought that the ships of which it is composed will
weigh anchor by the end of the week. The precipitate
departure of this squadron is partly, as it seems, in con-
sequence of the death of Captain Rabaudy, commanding
the Triton man-of-war, and the Levant Division. We
have just learnt the death of that officer, who would shortly
have been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral."—

By going to Daroca, General Espartero withdraws from
Cantavieja, and approaches Calatayud. It is not stated
for what purpose this movement is executed, but the result
of it is, that Don Carlos has before him only the half of
the combined forces which kept him in check, and that the
temporary concentration of these forces, and of all the
Generals, before Cantavieja, has produced nothing. We
see with pain that the apprehensions which we expressed
yesterday are realized ; as for Madrid, we do not think it
is seriously threatened.—Journal des Debats.

The Baltic, on the side of Prussia, has been mak-
ing slow and steady encroachments on the land. There
existed, between seven and eight centuries since, a province
named Willandie, which has been, by little and little, yield-
ing up its soil to the sea, and is now entirely covered with
the waters.—Railway Magazine.
The wife of a man named Hourigan, tenant to Lord
Limerick, at Bruff, was frightened to death on Thursday,
at the danger her husband was in after the county election.

There is now in blossom in the garden of J. Mat-
thews, Esq., Hereford, a remarkable fine Yucca Gloriosa ;
the stem of the magnificent plant is twelve feet high, and
this is the third time it has blossomed within the last seven
years. The flowers present a most beautiful appearance.—
Cambrian.
SCYLLA AND CIIARYBDIS OF THE ANCIENTS.—
Scylla is a rock about one hundred and fifty feet high, and
upon it now stands a tower. The Charybdis, which is op-
posite to it, and which raised the bark of Eneas " sometime
up to the skies, and then down to the lowest depths of the
sea," is now nothing more than a strong eddy, which did
not much impede the progress of our vessel.—Cochrane's
Wanderings in Greece.
From Palermo we hear that they have had no now
deaths from cholera. The panic having ceased, people be-
gin to inquire after their friends and relatives, the shops are
opened again, and business is recommencing. Things in
general are going on much better in Sicily, and it is not
thought that it will be requisite to send fresh troops thi-
ther, order being everywhere restored.—Piedmontese Ga-
zette.
The Chinese have a notion that the soul of a poet
passes into a grasshopper, because it sings till it starves.
The number of persons who visited the Museum of
Versailles during July, was 135,000 ; in June it was 140,000.
At the Chelmsford Petty Session, before T.
Brooksby, Clerk, and J. Boggis,Esq., on Tuesday, Maria
Scott, 13 years of age, preferred an information against her
mother-in•law, Sarah, wife of John Scott, of Great Leiglis,
for beating her with a stick and threatening to kill her. The
complainant deposed to various acts of cruelty, the woman
actually beating her at times with the fire irons, and com-
pelling her brothers and sisters to hold her whilst she so ill
treated her. She stated that she was sent out at night to
plunder the neighbours' fields and gardens. Susan Scott,
of Springfield, and Francis the constable, in part corrobo•
rated her statement, and the defendant was fined ss. and
costs, and in default of finding sureties she was committed
for 12 months.

SUDDEN Dl:A.m.—Last night, a young man,
clerk in the wareroom of Mr. Burke, upholsterer, St. An-
drew-square, suddenly dropped down hi Leith Walk, near
smith's-place. He was removed into a house there, and
medical aid procured, but life was found to be extinct. He
had been complaining for some time past.—Edinburgh
