SPAIN.
MADRID, JUNE 7.

Queen Isabella will arrive here to-morrow.

The Epoca of to-day says :—" It is reported that
a Frenchman employed at the French Embassy has
been assassinated by a woman."
MADRID, MAY 3.

The receipt of public tenders for the purchase of
scrip of the 3 per cent. Consolidated, sufficient to
produce 600 million reals, terminated yesterday.
The Epoca says :—" The total amount of the loan
has been obtained at a higher rate than the 41 50
fixed by her Majesty's Government ; but although
this success must be looked upon as favourable to
the credit of the country, one circumstance must
be borne in mind which will powerfully contribute
to the speedy and happy termination of our financial
crisis. The greater portion of the new emission
has been subscribed for by foreign houses, and pay-
ment is to be made in this place, so that whether it
be effected in specie or by bills of exchange, the re-
sults will be advantageous to commerce. If pre-
ference be given to the former, there will be an
immediate influx of bullion ; and if to the latter,
the inequality of Exchange will disappear, and the
money market will definitely derive the consequent
beneficial results.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 3.

A little past noon yesterday the Emperor arrived
at the English quay and embarked on board the
yacht Strelna, to meet the squadron, under Admiral
Lessowsky, escorting the remains of the late Czare-
witch back to Russia. At the quay his Majesty met
the Crown Prince of Denmark, who had just
arrived from Cronstadt. The violent storm which
had raged since the previous day had prevented
the Schleswig, with his Royal Highness on board,
from putting in to the roads of Cronstadt earlier.
The Crown Prince was accompanied by Baron von
Plessen, the Danish Ambassador, who had repaired
to Cronstadt to meet the eldest son of his Sove-
reign. General Prittvitz and Count Apaxin,
aides-de-camp of the Emperor, are attached
to the person of the Prince during his stay
in Russia. After remaining a few minutes
on shore, the Crown Prince re-embarked
with the Emperor on board the Strelna, accom-
panied by Prince Albert of Prussia, the Princes of
the Imperial House, Prince Peter of Oldenburg, and
a numerous suite. A second steamer, the Neva,
followed the Imperial yacht.
At starting the weather was still very stormy,
although the vehemence of the wind had much
diminished, but upon nearing Cronstadt about 2
o'clock the clouds began to disperse. The Imperial
yacht passed rapidly in front of the line of war
vessels stationed on this side of Cronstadt. When
leaving St. Petersburg it had met a fleet of gun-
boats and yachts. Approaching Cronstadt it found
drawn up in line upon the loft ten single cupola
monitors, a double cupola monitor, two 3-masted
gunboats, the Stobol and Gornastai, two iron-plated
batteries, the Perveneto and No Trone Menia ; two
paddlewheel frigates, the Olaf and Rionk ; the
plated frigate Sevastopol; two corvettes, the Gridine
and Baian ; the frigates Gramoboi and Peresvet,
the three decker Emperor Nicholas, the frigate Grand
Admiral, and Domitri Donskor, the clipper Isoum-
roud, the corvette Ascold, the clipper Tachont and
Gentchouk, and a paddle-wheel despatch-boat.
The crews of all these ships were mustered.
Directly after the guns of the forts had saluted
Admiral Lessowsky's squadron was seen approach-
ing from the direction of the Tolboukhine light-
house. The Alexander Newsky led the way, dis-
playing the flag of the late Czarewitch Grand Duke,
heir, from the mainmast. The Imperial yacht

steamed towards the squadron, and when within it
few cables' length, his Majesty descended into a
boat, accompanied by the illustrious visitors and
the princes of the imperial family, to repair on board
the Alexander Newsky.
The squadron then proceded towards the smaller
harbour, while salvo after salvo thundered from the
guns of the ships in line, and all the bells in' Cron-
stadt rung funeral peals. It was now four o'clock.
The sun had pierced through the clouds, and
lighted up with its rays the entire long line of
ships, and a numerous crowd of spectators, who
thronged the quays of the town, and several private
steamers which had conveyed them from St. Peters-
burg. Perfect silence prevailed while the chaplain
of the squadron recited the prayers for the dead
upon the gundeck of the Alexander Newsky, which
had been converted into a chapel. The Emperor,
his august visitors, the members of the Imperial
family, and all the suite held burning tapers round
the coffin, placed upon a bier covered with red velvet,
and the sailors of the vessel chaunted the responses.
When this ceremony was completed the Emperor
left the Alexander Newsky, a few minutes after the
Cronstadt clergy had arrived. A picket of house-
hold grenadiers, who had come from St. Petersburg,
remained on board the frigate to mount guard over
the coffin, conjointly with the Cossacks, who had
accompanied the body of their Hetman from Nice.
The Strelna, with the Emperor on board, steamed
slowly around the Alexander Newsky, and then set
out upon her return to St. Petersburg, where she
arrived at half-past six.
The removal of the body from Cronstadt to the
Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul is expected to
take place on Tuesday next.

FRANCE.

POROLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON

TO THE FRENCH ARMY IN AFRICA.

PARIS, JUNE 8•

The Emperor Napoleon has issued a proclama-
tion to the French army in Africa, thanking their
for their labours, and the fatigues they have under-
gone. His Majesty says
" Africa is the great school for the education of
the soldier. He acquires there those manly
virtues
which are the glory to an army and the strongest
supports of an empire, by learning to face danger,
to endure privations, and to prefer honour and
duty to all material enjoyments. Never in Your
ranks has passion outlived the hour of battle. Y°4
were the first to give the hand of friendship to the
Arabs, and to desire that they might be treated
with generosity and justice as belonging thence'
forth to the great family of Frenchmen., t
110011 r
to those who have shed their blood on this soil •
You have deserved well of your country. France
thanks you," •
