With these extracts we shall_elese our pt'esent

blishment of parochial agricultural model schools,
each having four or the acres or land annexed to it, is a
mostdesirahle scheme of improvement. The praiseworthy
efforts of the Commissioners to allay the jealousies
of. the English and Irish rival agriculturalists entitle
them to very high con6dcration. " The English
and Irish farmers," say the Commissioners, " and
every other class of the community, both in Great
Britain and Ireland, should consider themselves not
as rivals, but as fellow-labourers in one common cause
—as partners in the Joint-Stock Company of the Em-
pire—as equally interested in promot►ng that general
prosperity through which only particular prosperity
can be secured to any portion of the community."

The whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday have I
been received. Their contents arc unimportant to the
'great bulk of English readers. There is no intelligence
of anv moment either from the North of Spain or the
Spanish capital. The Moniteur is the only journal that
has dared to support the Ministerial proposition for im-
posing a tax upon Beet-root Sugar. The general opi-
nion is, that the tax will be rejected by the Chamber ;
consequently M. D'ARGOUT will be obliged to find
some other substitute to meet the defalcation in his
Budget. _ _

We subjoin the principal modifications introduced
by the Commission of the Chamber of Deputies into
the Customs' Tariff Bi11:

" The duty on spun cotton, above No. 143, is fixed at
seven francs, the decline, or penny (war tax) included. This
duty is the same as that fixed by the Royal Ordonnance,

which removed the prohibition.
" The duty on silk handkerchiefs, undressed, fixed at
ten francs by the Ordonnance, is reduced to six by the Com-
mission, who, moreover, propose to admit printed silk hand-
kerchiefs, from all countries, on paying a duty of 12 francs
per kilogramme, or 2lbs. weight.
" Raw wool is to pay a duty of ten-francs, and cocoa as
much ; those two articles, and the Grcgcs silks, will con-
tinue to be admitted on the conditions specified in the Or-

ionnance.

" Iron, manufact'ured in the English manner, will pay 18
francs 73 centimes, instead of 20 francs ; the duty on the
same article, prepared with wood and hammered, is reduced
by one-fifth. It is fixed at 37 francs 50 centimes on iron
chains for the use of the navy. The three territorial divi-
sions, or zones, for the importation of coal, arc maintained.
" 'The duty on Havannah cigars is reduced frem ninety
francs to fifty. Nitrate of Soude and potash will hereafter
pay five francs instead of fifteen per 2001bs. weight ; and
the duty on rails for roads is reduced from twenty-five francs
to five per hundred kilogrammes, or two hundred weight.'
The following extract from the Supplement to the
Moniteur Algerien of the 27th of March, shows the
state of affairs in Africa:—

The Brasier, which arrived here on the 23d, brings ac-
counts from the province of Oran. On the 14th General
Perrigaux marched on an expedition taking the Arzew
road, and the next day General d'Arlanges set out in the
direction of Bridia, to throw Abdel Kader into uncertainty.
A portion of the tribe of Beni Amer, seeing a camp formed
by our troops at Bridia, submitted. A courier that arrived
at Oran on the 20th brought intelligence that, on reaching
the Hahrah, General Perrigaux surprised the surrounding
tribes, and made all the men, women, and children he could
lay his hands on prisoners. Their number amounts to that
of three or four tribes. He also captured a chief of the
vast tribe of the Charabas. The Tuscan vessel Our Lady
of Montenero, which arrived here from Oran yesterday,
brought further accounts of tlke movements of General Per-
rigaux, which had thrown Abdel Kader into such alarm that
he ordered the people to evacuate his capital ; but a part
of the inhabitants refused to obey, barricaded the gates,
manned the walls, and refused admittance to the Emir's
Lieutenant, who came to seek shelter after his defeat on the
16th. They were recommended to hold out, and that in
time we should come to their succour, and enable those who
wished it to return to Masagran. Twelve tribes have sub-
mitted, and marched with us, some in a mass, and others
by deputations. A report has been spread that the Beni
Amer, on learning the discomfiture of the Emir's Khalifa,
fell upon his infantry, defeated and despoiled it, leaving Ab-
del Kader quite alone. It is also stated that the people of
Anjad have carried off a convoy of camels laden with gun-
powder for the Emir. The column of Colonol Combes is
with General Perrigaux, and will remain with him till the
operations are concluded, the result of which, according to
every probability, will be the general pacification of the
province."
The following are extracts from the Journals of
Wednesday:—
" The Journal of the Two Sicilies announces that on
the 9th of March Count de Matusvevic delivered his cre-
dentials as Russian Envoy Extraordinary and Minister

Plenipotentiary at the Neapolitan Court."
" The Gerant of the Quotidienne was, on Tuesday, ac-
quitted, at the Paris Assizes, of having in a recent article
expressed the wish of destroying Louis Philippe's Govern-
ment, and restoring that of Henry V. The editor was
ably defended by M. Berryer.
On Saturday the remains of the persons killed on the
28th of July were transferred to a monumental vault con-
structed in the Invalides Church. At the foot of a central
column are stationed Marshal Mortier and General de la
Chasse Varigny.—Constitutionncl.
On Saturday last the Prince of Capua and Miss Smyth,
travelling under the names of Count and Countess de
Mascali, reached Rouen. They had intended sojourning
here for a week, and had taken up their residence at the
Hotel d'Anglcterre, but chance would that Miss P. Smyth,
whose life appears to have been a very agitated one, should
meet in that hotel with a young Englishman with whom
she had also travelled as she is now travelling with the
Prince of Capua. The recognition not suiting the Prince
be ordered post horses, and immediately proceeded in the
direction of Calais, whence they are to repair to Scotland.—
Journal de Rouen, of the 4th of April.
It was announced a few days since by the German pa-
pers, that the Porte waa dismissing from its service the
French and English officers that had entered it, to substi-
tute Prussians in their place. If the following statement,
which is going the round of the French journals, be cor-
rect, the assertion is wholly unfounded :—" Several French
officers will shortly set out for Constantinople, where they
are to be employed in drilling the Ottoman army. In their
contracts they bind themselves to obey the orders of the
military establishments for tuition in that country. Their
pay is very high in proportion to their rank. The expenses
of their journey are defrayed, and they are to be at liberty
to return when they please to France, where they will re-
tain their rank."
The Journal du Havre announces that the American
packet Havre, Captain Stoddard, sailed from that port for
New York yesterday with 1,500,000 francs of the indem-
nity of 25,000,000 francs.
" The Messager de Gand mentions a report, that M.
Vilain XIV. was to set out on the 10th for Rome, but his
departure has been indefinitely deferred, the Pope having

a serious fact, which our journals, under the censorship,
pass over in silence—namely, that many of the exiles have
been sent into Poland. General Kaufmann has taken mea-
Wee to prevent, in future, this arbitrary act, which is con-
trary to the late conventions ; but certain individuals, whose
names are mentioned in the letters, are not to be allowed to
return to Cracow, or to go to Podgorze. Once in Poland,
they are at the disposal of the Russians, who will render no
account of their ultimate fate, and, in all probability, they
will be no more heard of."
The German journals state that, according to accounts
from 'Berlin Of the 26th ult., several students of different
Universities have been sentenced to hard labour at the for-
tifications for to 5 to 15 years for political crimes. The
UnivcrAtics mentioned are Griefswald, Breslow, and Bonn.

Pains, APRIL s.—We yesterday announced the publi-

Papers were all. sildni respecting this the
most important which has for a long time come from Spain.
It is, however, confirmed by the journals and letters of
Madrid, received during the day. This new and serious
attitude of the ngiish dovernment will. certainly be.deci-
sive; in the struggle which desolates the BiSeayan provinces.
Yesterday, in aii§n,efing the Military Itlctibrations of the
Journal des Debuts; we said that the cause of Pan Caring
must decline, the moment that contraband intercourse
should become impossible on the Hue of the Pyrenees; and
on the coasts of Biscay and Guipuscoa. Now, that not
only contraband intercourse by sea is going to cease, but
that the English navy is going to take part, and France, if
it does not occupy with a military force some of the fortified
points of the Spanish Pyrenees, will probably, at least, sub-
ject them to a blockade which cannot be
.passed ; in this
situation, we say, we persist in regarding the expulsion of
Don Carlos, and the fall of his party, as a fact, the accom-
plishment of which is reduced to a question of time.

THEiIJR-1-CTI-lIS DAY).

,CITY, 7' IVEL F, Or I, OCI
Cape of G3oci Hope Pt riers to the 6th February, have
been received this day. The Grahilni..Y.ioani Journal gives
the follo;,ving account of a great meeting of the Caffres at
Kin.. Town
'0
n Thursday, Lntiaty 7, a gathering of all the CAre
Chiefs; new under British jurisdiction, took place at King
without's Town, In the province of Queen Adelaide, for
the purpose of administering the oath of allegiance to the
Magistrates and people, who are become subjects to the
King of England j for initiating the Chiefs and other heads
of Kraals, in the office of magistrates, full commandants,
and field cornets"; and also for explaining to those functiona
ries the leading points connected with the duties which they
are expected to perform.
" The greater part of the Caffres arrived on Wednesday
afternoon, and were bivooelted for the night on the slopes
of the hills which surround the eattio The tribes of
Macomo and Tyrali presented a very imposing appearance.
mounting about 600 men on horseback, besides about 1,000
foot. The other Caffres came up with great order and re-
gularity—some of the tribes singing their war-song.
" Early on Thursday morning the troops, consisting of
detachments of the 75th and 72(1 Regiments, a body of
cavalry from the Cape, and the provincial Company of the
75th with Artillery and Sappers, in all nearly 600, be-
gan to assemble on the ground.
"At length the signal-gun was fired, and Colonel Smith
walked to the marquee, accompanied by his lady, Major
Burney, and the officers of the Staff. On the ground
were also the commissioners, some missionaries, several
gentlemen from India, Cape-Town, &c. The coup d'ccil
was exceedingly interesting ; it had a character altogether
new, and was rendered highly picturesque by its wilness.
In the centre was the tent of the Commander-in-chief of
the province ; on his right hand sat Macomo, on his left
Tyrali, each dressed in a suit of blue cloth. The counte-
nance of the former indicated candour—his brother Tyrali
looks selfish, is indisposed to talk much, and affects to imi-
tate John Bull. Next to him sat Sutu, Gaska's queen
wife ; next Nonube—then came Cobu, Congo, Pato, and
William Kama.
" The business of the day was opened with an impressive
prayer in the Caffre language, by the Rev. Mr. Chalmers.
Before reading ,the address, Colonel Smith took off his
cocked-hat, and waving it, called out in a manly tone,
Long live our good King William the Fourth,' which was
responded to by a shout from the Caffres, loud and long.
They raised their hands high in the snapping their
fingers, as they yelled, with singular effect ; they then sat
down, and it appeared incredible that 2,000 men could be
stowed away, as it were, in so small a compass.
" Colonel Smith then read in a clear voice the important
document, the reading of which occupied above an hour.
When it was finished the Colonel said Macomo and
Tyrali, and the other Magistrates, I now wait to hear any-
thing you have to say.' After a short pause Macomo
turned round, and said, Although my people are stupid,
ignorant, and naked, I and they are perfectly sensible when
good words are said to us. I will always tell you if any-
thing happens among my people, as you arc the representa-
tive of the King and the Governor ; and I will obey your
instructions: To which the Governor replied, Macomo,
you have shown yourself to-day the same man I ever found
you, and I again urge you to remember these words—you
are now British subjects.' Tyrali then spoke briefly : he
thanked Colonel Smith for all he had done for him and his
people.
" Thus ended this remarkable meeting—the parties
quietly dispersed, each tribe of Ariglo-Caffres marching off
to their places of occupation. Although our troops were
armed on the ground with two pieces of artillery loaded,
they left their assagays on the ground where they halted.
and came boldly to the place with walking sticks only."

Our arrivals this morning are the French, Ostend, and
Dutch mails—also a mail from Lisbon, sailed March 27, by
the Scorpion. We have ship letters from Bahia and
China ; from Bombay of Nov. 15 ; and from the Cape of
Good Hope of Feb. 8.
Accounts were received yesterday from Paris from a
highly respectable quarter, that the French Government
had sent to Algiers to embark five thousand men to be
landed in Spain. In a few days we shall ascertain if the
above information is correct.
We have seen letters from Lisbon of the 26th ult. They
do not bring any news of consequence. The difficulties of
the Treasury still continue, but Campos was disposed to
cling to the Ministry.

(From the Cape Papers.)
The following is an extract of a requisition at a public
meeting held at Graham's Town, Jan. 12, 1836 :—" Sir, in
consequence of the very unsatisfactory nature of the evi-
dence given before the Committee of the House of Com-
mons on the subject of the affairs of this frontier, the many
misrepresentations which have been made, and the very
evident want of information on the several points affecting
our vital interests, we have the honour to request that you
will grant permission for a public meeting of the inhabitants,
to be held at Graham's Town on Saturday, the 23d inst."
(The above was addressed to the Civil Commissioner.)
Extract of the Reply of the Civil Commissioner.
GENTLEMEN,---I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, requesting to hold
a public meeting at Graham's Town, to consider the pro-
priety of transmitting, through his Excellency the Go-
vernor, a petition to his Majesty's Secretary of State for
the Colonies, praying that a Commission of inquiry
may be sent to this Colony, for the purpose of inves-
tigating on the spot the various allegations which have been
made and published detrimental to the colonial interests and
to the character of its inhabitants, and fully concurring in your
views and sentiments, and also on the importance of your
application reaching its destination before the Committee
of the House of Commons shall have framed their report
on inaccurate evidence, I shall, take upon me to grant
your request, feeling assured that his Excellency will ap-
prove thereof.
I have the honour to be, &c.,
D. CAMPBELL,
Civil Commissioner of Albany.
