SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the 30th
ult. The Gazette publishes the decrees dissolving
all political societies and clubs, and ordering all
persons not in the public service to give up the
arms that they may possess, which have been men-
tioned in the telegraphic despatches. The Gazette
also publishes decrees appointing General Alison,
Capt.-General of Old Castille, to be Capt.-General
of Andalusia, in place of General Izabala, who has
resigned, and General Armero to succeed General
Alison in Old Castille. A Government circular,
in the Gazette, informs the local authorities of the
decision suspending the pension of Queen Chris-
tina and placing her property under sequestra•
tion. A Royal decree, founded on a report from
the Minister of Marine, orders various promo-
tions and the distribution of crosses in the navy.
The Espana states that the Marquis del Duero is
to receive the order of the Golden Fleece for his
eminent services in Catalonia. The same journal
mentions a rumour that Marshal Narvaez had left
Loja for Gibraltar in consequence of some threats
of annoyance by the populace. A Madrid letter,
of the 30th, says :—" During yesterday, and
throughout the night, tranquillity has not been
disturbed, and there is reason to believe there will
be no disturbance to-day."

FRANCE.

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR TO BOULOGNE.

BOTJLOGNE, Sunday Night.—The Emperor has
just addressed the following proclamation to the
army of the north :

" Soldiers,— In coming to take the command of that
army of the north, a division of which has so recently,
distinguished itself in the Baltic, I ought already to ad-
dress you in the language of praise, for you have now for
two months gaily supported the fatigues and privations
inseparable from a similar agglomeration of troops.
" The formation of camps is the best apprenticeship to
war, because it is the faithful image of war ; but it will
not profit all if the reasons of the movements to be exe-
cuted are not brought within the comprehension of every
soldier.

" A numerous army is obliged to divide itself in order
to subsist, so that it may not exhaust the resources of a
country, and yet it ought to be able to re-unite itself
promptly on the field of battle. Here is one of the first,
difficulties of a great concourse of troops. ' Every army,'
said the Emperor, that cannot re-unite itself in 24
hours upon a given point, is an army badly placed.'
" Ours occupies a triangle of which St. Omer is the
ape; and of which the base extends itself from
Ambleteuse to Montreuil. This triangle has a base of
eight leagues upon 12 of height, and all the troops can
be concentrated in 24 hours upon any point of the
triangle whatsoever. These movements can be effected
with facility if the soldier is accustomed to march—if he
carries with ease his provisions and ammunition—if each
chef de corps maintains on the march the severest dis-
cipline—if the different columns which direct themselves
by different routes have well reconnoitred the ground,
and never cease to maintain a communication with each
other—in fine, if each army.does not obstruct the march
of the other, notwithstanding the immense hindrance of
a great number of horses and vehicles. The troops once
arrived at the place indicated, it is necessary that they
should understand each other, that they shodld protect
themselves by a military position, and bivouac.
"This is what you are about to be called upon to put
in practice. Without at present speaking of the en-
gagement and manoeuvres of military tactics, you see
how all is linked together in the art of war, and how
much the most ' simple detail must contribute to the
general success.

" Soldiers, the experienced chiefs whom I have placed
at your head, and the devotion which animates you,
will render the command of the army of the north easy
to me. You will be worthy of my confidence, and, if
circumstances should exact it, you will be ready to re-
spond to the appeal of our country.
"Boulogne, Sept. 2." "NAPOLEON.

- - -
Monday.—The good people of Boulogne may be
pardoned for vie wing with regret the departure of
King Leopold, whose presence would have added
much eclat and invested with increased interest
the brilliant reunion, of Royal and illustrious per-
sonages which is about to take place at the camp
of the north. The chief honours of the fetes will
now be paid to his Royal Highness Prince. Albert,
whose promised visit has caused more joy and ex-
citement among the French portion of the popu-
lation than the presence of any crowned head in
Europe, with the single exception of the Sovereign
whom he will with so much dignity represent.
If the Boulonnais had determined to evince
by their preparations for the reception of the
Prince Consort their obligations to the English
nation and their respect for their English visitors,
they could not show more enthusiasm. The fetes
and rejoicings are, indeed, planned upon so exten-
sive a scale, extending through four consecutive
days, that they will more than occupy any leisure
which the military manoeuvres may be supposed to
leave to the Emperor and his RUyal and illustrious
guests. Prince Albert will receive a brilliant re-
ception from the Emperor and all the military and
civil authorities of the town when he disembarks•
from the Royal yacht to-morrow morning. He
will then accompany the Emperor to the Imperial
Hotel at Capecure, where a suite of apartments
worthy of his rank has been prepared for his re-
ception, close to those occupied by the Emperor
himself. At night the city will be brilliantly
illuminated in his honour, and fireworks of
unusual splendour will be discharged upon some
high point of laud in the environs, so that they
may be seen not only by the inhabitants of the
town, but also by all the soldiers encamped
around Boulogne. On the following day there will
be a public promenade on the Plac:Daunou, where
a grand orchestra will be stationed. ' On Thursday
there will be a grand ball and fete de suit, with
illuminations, in the Place de Tintelleries. All the
officers of the army in the camps around Boulogne
will be invited, so that our fair countrywomen
who may 'honour the ball with their presence will
not have to complain of any want of cavaliers.
The price of admission is fixed at a franc, the pro-
ceeds being handed over to the poor of Boulogne.
The authorities wish thatall the population should
assist at the rejoicings, and if, as is probable, the
Emperor, the King of Portugal, and Prince Albert,
and their respective suites, should deign to visit
the vast ball-room, a somewhat mixed assemblymay
be expected.
On Friday a grand concert, vocal and instru.

mental, will be given by the city at the theat
urtiL-r the direction ~f the l'hilllaraionic Society of
Boulogne, assisted by artistes of distinction from
Paris. On Saturday Prince Albert will take his
departure with the same ceremonies which welcomed
his arrival. All these rejoicings are independent
of the military evolutions in the environs of the
town, which will be on the grandest possible scale :
so that the 15,000 English visitors who at this mo-
ment dispute the possession of the city with th
French militaires are promised a programme
which cannot fail to satisfy the utmost conceivable
capacity for sight-seeing.
Up to the arrival of the King of the Belgians on
Saturday we are not sure that the heroes of the situa-
tion were not the half-dozen Life Guards and Horse
Guards Blue who arrived by the Folkestone steamer
on Friday to act as Orderlies to Prince Albert and
his staff. Their brilliant costume immediately at-
tracted an immense crowd, and some French soldiers
who witnessed their arrival, hastened to shake
hands with them upon landing, and gave them a
hearty welcome to France. It is a long while since
the Queen's Guards have put their feet upon the
soil of France upon a similar mission of peace and
brotherhood, and the local historians agree that
they must recur to the celebrated interview of the
Field of the Cloth of Gold for a like demonstration
of amity between the two nations. On Sunday the
Guards en grande tenue paid a visit to the Cent-
Gardes (the Emperor's body-guard) at Capecure, by
whom they were received with the warmest cor-
diality.

This morning the Emperor was early astir. At 9
o'clock he paid a visit to the encampment of the
Imperial Guards near the jetty, on the Capecure
side. His Majesty, who was on foot, and attended
by a small suite, conversed with several soldiers of
the Guards, making the most minute inquiries into
the arrangements For their comfort. The Emperor
then returned to his hotel amid the cheers of the
crowd.

His Majesty the King of Portugal, and his bro-
ther, the Duke of Oporto, arrived at Boulogne at
noon to-day by a special train from Paris. They
were received at the railway terminus by General
Roquet, aide-de-camp of the Emperor, M. Alex-
andre Adam, a director of the railway, and M.
Hercule Adam, Portuguese Consul. A salute of
artillery announced the arrival of the Royal party,
who were at once conducted to the Imperial car-
riages and were driven to the Emperor's Hotel,
escorted by a squadron of the Guides. The King
and the Duke were received by the Emperor with
great cordiality on alighting from the Royal ear'
riages, and after a short interview were conducted
to the apartments prepared for their reception.
A.t two o'clock the Emperor, accompanied by the
King of Portugal, the Duke of Oporto, and the
members of their suite, drove out to the camp at
Honvault, upon a rapid visit of inspection. The
Royal party was escorted by a detachment of the
Cent-Gardes. Upon their arrival at the camp,
which is situated about two miles from Boulogne;
3,000 or 4,000 infantry turned out, who marched
past the Royal carriage in slow and quick time.
The Emperor and his guests then alighted, and
entered the huts of the troops, where the interior
economy of the camp was explained to the youth-
ful Monarch. The soldiers were delighted by this
mark of Royal condescension, and when the Royal
visitors emerged from the huts and regained
their
carriages, the air rang with acclamations, in which
the English visitors present took a conspicuous part.
The Royal carriages, accompanied by their escort,
then left the camp and returned to the Emperor 'a.
hotel, the inspection having been accomplished
in about three quarters of an hour. The beat
is so excessive that the Emperor wishes to
spare the troops as much as possible the
fatigues of mid-day reviews, and it is not impro-
bable that some of the military manoeuvres in con-
templation will take place at an unusually early
hour of the morning.
Half-past 6 o'clock.—Greatly to the astonishment,
of the good people of Boulogne, the newly-arrived ,
potentate has just left by the railway for Bruseels.
amid a salvo of artillery. It is confidently stated
that the young King and his brother will return to
Boulogne in a day or two, accompanied by the Milo
de Brabant.

Austria and Prussia will both be represented at
the reviews. The name of the Austrian Envoy has
not yet transpired, but he is accompanied by a large
staff of military men. Prussia will be represented
by Lieutenant-General de Wedell, who has been
selected by the King of Prussia to visit the camp
of the north. He is accompanied by Col. d'Olberg
and Captain de Francois as officers of his suite.
Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador at Paris, je
expected to arrive at Boulogne in attendance upon
Prince Albert.

THE CAMP AT BOULOGNE.
BOULOGNE, Tuesday Morning.—Prince Albert
is just entering the harbour.

The Minister of Marine has ordered from the
Imperial foundry of Ruelle two howitzers in bronze,
No. 12, on the new plan, for the use of the fleet.
They are to be called Odessa and Bomarsund.
The steam corvette Gorgone left Toulon on the
Ist for the Black Sea, with 300 passengers, among
whom were 400 Poles going to enter the Turkish
service. The remainder were sailors, destined to
fill up the vacancies in the squadron. She also
carried a few men for the naval division in Greece,
with some stores and ammunition.
The steam-packet Caire, belonging to the Men'
sageries Imperiales, left Marseilles on the Ist of
September for Constantinople, with 260 passengers
and 22 Sisters of Charity, who volunteered their
services to attend the hospitals attached to the
army of the East.
By an order of the Rector of the Academy
Toulouse, dated 28th of August, M. Angier, master
of a public school at La Roque-Alric, was dis;
missed for having deserted his post during the
cholera. By a decree of the Superior Court of
Avignon, M.Arnaut, Notary at Caumont, was 3115-
pended during 15 days for the same reason.
A letter from Toulon, of the Ist inst., ears
"The Proserpine corvette and the Fortune are takingon board materiel, stores, and provisions for Acllll se
Hamelin's squadron. Orders have been given to these
vessels to complete their lading with all possible cis
spatch. Within the last day or two 60 draught lwr es
