any regard to the carious rumours daily circulated respect•
ing a change in the Cabinet.

The Spanish Government is reported to have applied to
the British Ambassador for a supply of fifty thousand stand
of arms, for the use of the new levies ; and likewise for a
stronger naval force along the Mediterranean coast. The
number of war vessels at present on the Cantabrian coast
are inadequate to the prevention of the traffic carried on
between the Carlists and the Sardinian smugglers, who
serve to keep up the PRETENDER'S correspondence with the
great Northern Powers.
In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday a petition was
presented in the name of some French merchants in Madrid
complaining of the robberies committed by the Carlists
upon travellers is Spain, and churning protection. Count
MONTALIVET stated with some energy that the French Go-
vernment held no communication with the chiefs of ban is
of brigands, and therefore that the petitioners could have
no redress from France. The authority to apply to was
the Queen Regent of SPAIN, whose business it was to es-
tablish a system of protective police throughout the domi-
niocs her august daughter. The Carlists arc furious at
the insult thus offered to the PRETENDER, and their organs
more than insinuate that he will be yet in a condition to
make MONTALIVET regret that he designated so potent
a Prince the chief of a band of brigands.
A new Carlist expedition of eight battalions, commanded
by Count DE NEGRI, and supported by CASTOR ANDE-
CIIAGA and Brigadier Goss, is reported in a letter of the
21st inst. from Bayonne, to have marched from the Valley
of Mena towards the Ebro. The Christinos under LAMA
and CASSANDRA had in vain attempted to intercept it.
The following are the only interesting extracts to be
found in these Journals :

It is affirmed that M. Papineau, one of the chiefs of the Ca-
nadian insurrection, will shortly arrive in France.
It seems, that the bands of all the regiments in Paris, have
been forbidden to perform in future in places of public resort,
banquets, or meetings. This measur-2 has been adupted, since
the band of the 16th regiment of light infantry played the
" Marseillaise" at the banquet in honour of M. Lafitte.
It will be remembered that the Augsburg Allgemeine Zei-
lung stated some time ago, that a certain mysterious person-
age, who had arrived at the bead-quarters of Don Carlos was
not the Duke of Bordeaux, nor Marshal I3ourmont, but M.
Duval, Swiss Consul General, at St. Petersburgh. The object
of his going can only be conjecture. To put an end to all con-
jectures on this subject, M. Francais Duval, who is not Consul,
but Ex-Consul of Switzerland at St. Peterburgh, is still there;
he has not left Geneva for these eight years, and he is not in
the secret of the mystification which the Augsburg Gazette
puts on its readers.
Accounts have been received at Toulon of the ship-of-the-
line the Sztyren, which had run aground in the Bay of Cadiz,
and to which the Jena is going to carry anchors, chain,
cables, &c. The Suffren has been put afloat, but it has suf-
fered some damage. It seems that it will have to return to
port, to undergo some repairs. In this case the Jena will
wait at Cadiz for the return of the Suffren.—Le Commerce,
March 21.

TOULON, MARCH 20.—The Crocodile steam-boat, which
left the port the day before yesterday for Algiers, with the
mail and 250 passengers, civil and military, has been obliged
to put back, having sprung a considerable leak within a few miles
of the coast. Happily, the accident has had no serious conse-
quences.
The Jena, Captain Bourdais, bearing the:flag of Rear-Ad-
miral Lalande, had scarcely weighed anchor yesterday to
proceed to Cadiz, when the violence of the wind drove it on
the coast of Castignenna, when it ran aground. Several steam.
boats were immediately dispatched to get it afloat again. Ex-
traordinary activity was observed in the roads yesterday,
though the weather was very bad, but all the exertions made
were ineffectual, and it was not till to-day that the Jena
could get afloat. It is not yet known whether it has sustained
much damage, but it seems it will be able to continue its
voyage to Cadiz, where it is to take the place of the Suffren,
which ran aground there. We fear we shall have numerous
accidents to lament. We have had dreadful weather for
three days; the wind has blown with extreme violence from
the north-west.—Gazette de France.
HANOVER, MAkcn 22,—Some journals have lately made
repeated mention of circular note of a great South German
Cabinet, of the following tenor:—" That the affair of Hano-
ver deserves the greatest attention, because it is connected
with the internal security of Germany; that the way in which
it would be settled in the country itself should indeed be
waited for, but in case of an application to the German Diet
that body would not be able to do otherwise than recognise
the Constitution of 1833, and leave it to the parties interested
to modify it in a constitutional manner."
We aro able to affirm from authentic information that no
such note exists or has existed.—Hanover Gazette.
The Hanover Gazette of the 20th, 21st, and 22d of March
contains no article relative to the affsirs of the kingdom on the
proceedings of the Assembly of the States which are not
mentioned.
