The Paris Papers of Sunday continue to comment
upon the crime and trial of ALIBEA up. His speech
must have made a great impression upon the Peers, as
the Police agents were sent round to the several
Journals, forbidding its publication on peril of the
seizure of the papers. The Gazette de France and
the Messager both appeared without the speech ; the
latter Journal having left a blank space intended for its
insertion, and containing in its leading columns an
energetic protest against this new violation of the
Charter. This threw the Government into a fresh
state of alarm. Messengers were sent round to make
apologies, and the Moniteur was instructed to announce
that the Police agents had acted without the know-
ledge of the Authorities. ALIBEAUD'S trial has cer-
tainly created a wonderful sensation in Paris. He
was first thought to be insane, but his defence proved
that he was at least consistent with himself. We shall
publish his speech to-morrow.
The accounts received from Spain are very unfa-
vourable to the QUEEN'S cause. The Carlists are
active, while CORDOVA is parading his troops in the
neighbourhood of Vittoria, and EVANS is idle at St.
Sebastian. We fear there is too much truth in the
following extract from the Spanish correspondence of
a Morning Contemporary :

" FROM GENERAL GOMEZ TO DON CASTOR ANDECHAGA.
" Between Revell and its environs the enemy concentrated
his fo'rces to dispute my passage. I accepted the combat,
which lasted from eight o'clock in the morning to seven at
night. I completely beat them, and pursued them as far as
Medina and Villarcayo. They left behind them in their dis-
graceful flight a great many muskets, which they threw from
them ; drums and several other objects. I made 500 prisoners,
amongst whom are several chiefs and officers. The quantity of
prisoners greatly embarrass my continuing my march. I, there-
fore, wish that you would, with all possible haste, make a move-
ment on Tabliejo, to protect and escort the wounded prisoners,
thus enabling me to execute the order which I have received,
and to show myself worthy the confidence which his Majesty
has deigned to show M 9.

" MIGUEL GOMEZ.
" ' Head-quarters, Larritas, June 27, 1836.' "
" General Gomez, by the last accounts, had reached Reynosa.
The whole of the Queen's army is in movement. Cordova
has sent back, by forced marches, 10,000 men to Logrono.
From ill health he was still, on the 2d, at Pampeluna. Es-
partero has orders to repair to Reynosa. The National
Guards of the Asturias and Galicia have received orders to
rise en masse. Three battalions have been sent by sea from
Bilboa ; in fact, the army of the Queen is in confusion, Cor-
dova a perdu la tete, and the Carlists are crying " Victory."
" The kingdom of Leon has risen against the Queen ; and
we learn from the Madrid Gazette that a Carlist band has
been defeated in Estremadura, hitherto supposed to be free
from Carlists."

PARIS, JULY 9.—Several groups on 'Change to-day were
conversing about various letters from Spain, announcing that
the terror caused at Madrid by the march of Cabrera through
the provinces of Lower Arragon and Valencia, had abated ill
consequence of the assurances given by General Cordova that
the troops he had just sent to these points were three times
as numerous as those of the Carlist Chief. The Active
Debt of Spain closed at 41f, being an advance of I on the
closing price yesterday.
A private letter, which we have before us, affirms that the
two houses, Martinez of Cadiz and Irriberen, and Muquirre of
Madrid, have received new treasury bonds to the amount of
120,000,000 of reels, of which they have engaged to advance
20 millions per month. Such a statement requires confir-
mation.

PARIS, JULY DI —On the application of the French Consul
at Gibraltar, the Board of Health of that port has reduced
from 14 to 10 days the term of quarantine for vessels arriving
from the French possessions in the North of Africa.—Moniteur.
It is difficult to account for the independent position in
which the Ministry has placed General Bugeaud in Africa.
As Marshal Clause' still holds the command of our posses-
sions in Africa, he ought to be made acquainted with every
thing that passes there; but this is not the ease; General
Bugeaud corresponds directly with the President of the
Council, and makes, no communication either to General
Rapatel, who commands in the absence of Marshal Clause],
or even to the Minister of War. An explanation of this
matter has been asked of M. Thiers, but he has not thought
fit to answer.

The Bordeaux papers say that the Queen of Spain has
just written an autograph letter to Cardinal Cheyerus which
has been delivered to him by the Spanish Ccnsul.—kissayer,
July 10.

The Society of Pomme de Granade despatches 58
pigeons on Sunday last from Paris, the first of which arrived
at Antwerp in 5 hours 40 minutes : the others came shortly
after. A second departure will take place next Sunday at
seven in the morning from the Place de Lavalette. These
new aerial travellers belong to the Societe des Arbaletriers.
The number of visitors to Boulogne-sur-Mer has
never been so great as during the present season. Between
June 15, and July 2, no fewer than 4,102 travellers entered
that port from England.
It appears that the order for the seizure of prohi-
bited arms has been extended to the departments, as the Bor-
deaux Papers mention seizures made at the gun-makers and
sword cutlers of that town.
The provincial Papers notice numerous sudden
deaths occasioned by the late extreme heat of the weather.
Many of them took place from drinking cold water. The mail
from Paris, which arrived at Lyons on the sth, lost four horses
on the road from the excessive heat.
The Green Bay papers announce the death of
Sehachipskaka, or Lecari the White Head, Chief of the Win-
nebagoes, in the 99th year of his age. He died on the 29th
of April, near the house of Mr. Peter Poquette, and the Wis-
consin. Three days previous to his death he desired to be
baptized. The Rev. Mr. Vanden Brock (priest of Grand
Kaukalin), being at that place, buried the corpse on the morn-
ing following, in the Catholic cemetery, after the performance
of the usual obnuies.—American paper.
THE TEA TRADE, MONDAY.—The deliveries last
week were unprecedently extensive, having amounted to not
less than 1,687,00016. The large public sales have been post-
poned till next week.
THE GIRAFFES AT THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL
GunEris.—These magnificent animals, whose arrival we no-
ticed on Thursday last, were yesterday evening safely deposited
in the building erected for them. It is in every respect com-
modious and appropriate. Attached to it is a large paddock,
in which they have free range, and in which they have a most
delightful appearance. The one called "La Belle' Giraffe "
In particular sported and gambolled with infinite delight.
The Isle of Wight is rapidly filling with visiters of
rank. Amongst the last arrivals are the Duke of Norfolk and
Lord Edward Howard, Lord Deerhurst, Lady Anne Murray,
lord and Lady George Hill, &c.

by the Duke of WELLINGTON. "In quietness there
is much safety."

The further consideration of the Report on the
Stamp Duties' Reduction Bill occupied the House
of Commons during the greater part of last night's
sitting. Seventeen clauses of the Bill—all relating to
Newspapers—were gone through and adopted. But
perhaps, the most important feature in the proceeding
was the instruction to the Committee, for the division
of the original Bill into two or more separate Bills, to
be carried as distinct measures. We cordially approve
of this—nay, we believe that we were the first to
suggest the expediency of introducing a Bill which
would include only the Stamp Duty as it operated with
respect to the Newspaper Press of the United
Kingdom. On the day following that on which the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward
his simple resolutions for the reduction of the Stamp
Duty, we, while commenting upon his speech, ex-
pressed ourselves of opinion, that nothing could be
more clumsy than an arrangement which included Pro-
bate Duties and Cart Taxes in a Bill fur regulating
the judicial management of such a great moral and
political engine as a Newspaper. We take no credit
to ourselves for such a suggestion. It was such as must
have occurred to any person taking the trouble to pay
even ordinary attention to the details of the measure
about to be brought before Parliament.

Having already expressed ourselves satisfied with
the reduction of duty recommended by the CHANCEL-
LOR of the EXCHEQUER, we shall abstain from all
comment upon the details, till the Bill for the reduction
of the Newspaper Duty assumes a distinct and separate
form. We adopt this course the more readily, inasmuch
as we see no danger to ourselves or the public from
leaving the question . wholly in the hands of the
Government.

The dismissal of the REIS EFFENDI by the Porte
at the instance of Lord PONSONBY, is, we under-
stand, confirmed by letters received last night at the
Foreign-office. It appears that the SULTAN thought
it best not to await the instructions of our Govern-
ment at home ; rightly judging that it was wiser to
do voluntarily, and by way of compliment to Great
Britain, what eventually he would have to do on
compulsion.
