MINERAL SUCCEDA,NEITM
FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH,

Monsieur MALLAN, and Son, Surgeon Dentists, 32, GREAT

HANOVER-SQUARE, continue to restore DECAYED TEETH
with their MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, (of which they are the
Sole INVENTORS and POSSESSORS)' without pain, heat, or
pressure, and FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether arising
from age, neglect, disease . 1 the Gums, the use of Calomel, or
any other cause. They have also discovered a NEW COMPOSI
PION for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending
Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally imper
virus to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found ob-
iectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency
to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs. M. have
been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCO-
VERY, and they can tix the above without extracting the STUMPS, or
causing any incumbrance, and even en GUMS of the most tender nature,
protecting the adjoining Teeth, however loose. No WI NES or LIGA,
1 ORES are used, and they MATCH the ORIGINAL TEETH in point
of Shape and Colour. GUARANTEED for MASTICATION and AR_
TI CU LATION. In consequence of their improvements in the mecha.
nical department of Dentistry, they are enabled to reduce their charges to
the following scale:—

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
THE MEXICAN BLOCKADE.

" The British fleet has received orders to sail from the
waters of the St. Lawrence to the coast of Mexico, for the
purpose, it is alleged, of protecting British interests. Of
what nature is this protection to be ? And how can an expe-
dition undertaken to avenge the honour of France, compromise
the interests of England, our ally ? This remains for us to
learn, for the English papers do not make known the instruc-
tions given to Admiral Paget. The sending an English fleet
to the Gulf of Mexico is a new incident in a quarrel which has
already too many complications. It is an act which we do
not hesitate to find fault with. The vessels of Admiral
Paget do not certainly come to strengthen our line of
blockade after the mediation of England has been refused.
They co not come apparently to act in co-operation with us,
and they have no right to co-operate, if they desired to
do so. An act of hostility is impossible, as England, in spite
of her bad temper, is not in a position to break with France
She will not attempt it. What means, then, the intervention
of Admiral Paget and his fleet ? If the English do not come
to assist the blockade of Mexico neither as friends nor ene-
mies, what do they mean to do ? This attitude of mere ob-
servation is not worthy of them, and is it not disrespectful to
us? Is it not to expose the peace of the world to some rivalry
of the officers or to some accidental misunderstanding, thus to
place in presence two armed bodies full of ardour and courage,
who observe each other with jealous eyes?
They pretend that Lord Parmerston has been overpowered,
and that be yields to the imperious demands of British com-
merce injured by our blockade. What kind of Government
is this, what kinds of Ministers are these, who allow the law to
be made for them by a body of traders ? Should the alliance
of two great nations depend on the demands, either the moreit
or less reasonable, of a particular commercial interest ?

of the French Cabinet in the execution of the treaty of 1834

30th Oct. Maroto had just left Balmasedas on the 29th, and
the repairs of the bridge of Berron had permitted the heavy
artillery to be sent towards Villaneuovo de Mina. Espartero,
marching towards the Upper Ebro, had proceeded in the direc-
tion of Villarcayo. This movement and the sudden swell of the
water:, had checked the plans of Balmasedas, who has returned
into the Valley of Loza, and passed the Ebro nearly at the
same place where Merino crossed it on the 23d Oct. Letters
from Saragossa of the 30th ult., say, that Negri and Basilio

Castile. —Constitutionnel, Nov. 6.

SPAIN.

MADRID, OCT. 29.—Considerable excitement prevailed
here last night, and at one time things looked as if the peace
of the city was about to be disturbed. It was certainly not the
fault of the contrivers of the means employed on the occasion
to produce a popular movement that the people remained
tranquil.
You will recollect that I informed you of the intention of the
Government to follow up their famous decree for the expulsion
of the wives and children of persons in the service of Don
Carlos eight leagues from Madrid; the adult Carlists being by
this sapient decree permitted to remain in the capital. Partly
in consequence of this known intention of the Government,
the Corporation of Madrid met yesterday, at one o'clock, and
sat until four. While the Corporation was deliberating,
reports were industriously circulated through the town
of two opposite kinds ; the one was to the effect
that the Corporation was actually plotting the assassination
of General Narvaez—the other, that General Narvaez
was to disarm the national militia, and to aid in putting
down the people in the event of a movement. It was also re-
ported that the army of reserve had mutinied at Carabonchel,
and were prepared to march on the city to aid the people in
making reprisals on the Carlists and Carlist prisoners in
Madrid. The object of all these inventions was, of course, to
set Narvaez and the people at variance, and, if possible, to get
up a pretext for declaring the province in a state of siege.
By some unaccountable misconception or error of judgment,
Narvaez goes off with his staff, and puts himself at the head
of his troops at Carabonchel, who were under arms all night,
and ordered the squadron of cavalry belonging to the same
force, who remained here since the review, to join him at
Carabonchel. Orders had also been given by him to Colonel
Cordova to remain in readiness in his barracks during the
night in the city.
The fact of General Narvaez having acted in this manner
is the more extraordinary, as I understand two respectable in-
dividuals of the Corporation waited on him at the house where
be resides, to assure him that neither the Corporation nor
the people entertained any hostile designs towards him.
The Corporation were again called together late in
the evening, and had interviews with the political Chief.
who assured them that there was no intention on the part of
the Government to proceed to the execution of the measures
which were in circulation. This may have been true of three
of the Ministers, but not of two others of them, Ponzoa and
Hubert, who, it is stated, proposed in Council the state of
siege in Madrid, and the erection of a scaffold in the Place of
the Constitution, to dispose of all these who attempted to
alter the Government. I have no hesitation whatever in
saying that the rumours circulated last night for the purpose
of creating disturbances were the work of some of those per-
sons whose sacred duty it should be to spare the shedding of
the blood of the people, and direct their justly excited ener-
gies to the salvation of themselves and their unfortunate
country. The scheme, however, has so far failed.
To-day it is asserted that the resignation of General Latre,
as Captain• General of Old Castile, has been refused, and that
he proceeds immediately to enter on the duties of that office.

Several Deputies arrived here from Valencia last night.
Senor Olezago, who travelled with them, has stopped, lam
told, at Aranjuez. General Oraa, too, is said to have in-
tended to enter Madrid last night, hut was prevented from
doing so by the advice of the Government, who sent out mes-
sengers to prevent his coming in. lam inclined, however, to
believe that he is now in Madrid.
Some Carlist arrests have been made, it is stated, within
the last few days, and other suspected persons are being
sought after. At three o'clock, the hour of post, the city re-
mains perfectly tranquil.
