BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—We have had a complete
blank Bourse to-day ; the absence of any sort of news seems
to be the cause of it. The Three per Cents. have the whole
time been at 801. ; the Spanish Active opened at 303, but has
since improved to 30i buyers.

The French Journals of Monday bring advice;
from Madrid to the 22d inst. inclusive. The capital
was then tranquil. According to the Espagnol the
Government had nothing to fear provided it went on
boldly and in a straightforward course, as the procla-
mation of the Constitution had given it an accession
of strength quite incalculable. The same organ of
opinion very properly rebukes the populace for seek-
ing to imbrue their hands in the blood of the ex-Mini-
sters. If they have done wrong let them be brought to
trial and executed according to law; but if they can prove
themselves innocent, Spain ought not to be stained
with their blood. This is language worthy of men
deserving of constitutional liberty. The following
extracts from the French journals have reference to the
state of affairs in Spain :
The Revista of Madrid announces that the Council of
Ministers has decided that the Cortes shall be convoked for
October 24, and that, the proclamation of the Constitution
of 1612 having effectually annulled the late elections, new
Deputies are to be chosen, according to the system of the
Constitution of 1812, but the number for the Peninsula and
the adjoining islands is to be increased to 258.—Galignani.
A letter of the 21st instant, from Madrid, announces that
Queen Christina is indisposed, but no danger is apprehended.
The Ministry finds difficulty in completing itself, and this
task, according to the general opinion, will devolve on M.
Mendicabal, whose name is repeated in all the popular
societies.

Since the truth must be told, the intelligence from Don
Carlos's head-quarters is not favourable. Whilst union is
more than ever necessary, at a juncture when such a fierce
contention prevails among his enemies, much discord prevails
in his councils.
M. Vero is quarrelling with the Bishop of Leon, and the
latter with M. Echevarria, and, to aggravate all this strife,
M. Calomarde has just crossed the Pyrenees to join Don
Carlos, without being invited by him.

I have just time to add that a courier extraordinary was
despatched last night, by General Alava, to Madrid, with his
refusal to submit to the instructions of Calatrava, by which he
was to make, and cause all the Spaniards here to make, oath
to the Constitution. The Secretaries and Spanish Consul
here have joined in the protest.--Paris Correspondent of
Monday.

The Journal de Paris contains the following ex-
tract from a letter from Madrid, relative to the affray
of the 18th--the pure result of misconception on all
sides :

" The combat took place not far from the hotel of the
French Embassy, and several bullets struck the walls ; the
assailants at one time thought of establishing themselves in
the hotel as an advantageous position; but Messrs. Drouyn
de Lhuys and de Bois-le-Compte, having invoked the in-
violability of the Ambassador's Hotel, the soldiers renounced
their project. Those who had posted themselves in an ad-
joining house, occupied by the Secretaries' office, &c., were
afterwards careful to shew that they had taken nothing from
it. The next morning a new act of insubordination broke
out among part of the armed force. At the time of rations
being distributed, a great number of the soldiers declared
that they would have white bread. It was replied to them,
that the thing was impossible ; they still insisted, threaten-
ing to go and look for some on the Queen's table. The
affair was at length made up by giving them money to go
and buy at the bakers' shops what bread they liked.
On the 20th, at five in the afternoon, a dozen soldiers went to
the Palace, and penetrated to the apartment of the Queen's
bed-chamber women, and demanded to make a search there.
They were begged to retire; but they threatened to force
their way in. They, however, consented, before proceeding
any further, to go and ask permission of the Grand Mistress

leged to sit in the presence of the Dukes and Generals
who occasionally attend the levees of the Minister.
The Ex-President, on the contrary, is as nimble
in his movements as a dancing-master ; has a
quick eye to his own interests, and is both po
litically and morally, as pliant as a willow where
the appearance of consistency does not hold out
stronger inducements to him to assume the look
as well as the cant of a martyr. He has shrewd-
ness enough to fathom the whole depths of
LOUIS PHILIPPE'S superficial policy, and tact enough
to render himself a necessary instrument in the carry-
ing of it into operation. His plausibility of manner
and smartness in debate enable him to play the part of
a special pleader to admiration. In all else that per-
tains to him he is the most selfish of men. Even
what he calls his patriotism—his jealousy of the
influence of the Crown on some occasions—is the effect
of mere selfishness. He would to-morrow endeavour to
make LOUIS PHILIPPE, nominally and in reality, the
most absolute Sovereign that ever sat upon the throne
of France, were he not apprehensive that the Monarch
would repay his services by kicking down the Minister.
He hates the people, because he was originally one of
them : and he detests the old Aristocracy, because no
aggrandizement has had the effect of placing him upon
an equality with them. He has no fixed principle but
his interest, and that is inseparable from the means of
indulging in a lavish expenditure, and having his name
constantly in the mouths of his vivacious countrymen.
But, notwithstanding all this, we are persuaded that
M. THIERS will very shortly be called upon to resume
the Presidency of the Council. The KING knows
full well that were he to throw himself into the arms
of the Opposition, he would paralyze the exertions of
any Ministry that would now take office.' Possibly
another Cabinet will be formed in the interim to gra-
tify the feelings of the KING; but we presume to
think its dissolution will follow upon the heels of its
• .

appointment.
It appears from the French Journals that the recent
conduct of the French Ambassador in Switzerland
has caused the greatest commotion among the inha-
bitants of the several Cantons. Public meetings have
been held, and petitions have been forwarded to the
Diet protesting against the language employed by
France respecting the blockade of the Republic.
PARIS, AUG. 29.—A1l that is known of the formation of a
new Cabinet, is that M. Guizot arrived at Paris yesterday.
As for M. Duchatel, who is recalled to Paris by a telegraphic
dispatch, the Journal des Debats says he is not expected till
Wednesday.
The Paix says that M. Guizot has been received by the
King ; nothing more.
The Bon Sens says the retirement of M. Gisquet is consi-
dered as certain, and M. Teste is said to have received an invi-
tation to return from Vichy, where he is taking the waters.
AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.
From the Memorial des Pyrenees.
" It seems that the policy of France, relative to the con-
duct which shall be observed towards Spain, is not at all
fixed. Sometimes a decided intervention is advocated—some.
times it seems to be content with a disguised co-operation—
and then the plan of unarmed neutrality is reverted to.
" in the midst of these fluctuations, the most contradictory
orders are sent from Paris. One day orders come to suspend
the organization of the troops destined for Spain to make the
men who arc on the march return to their cantonments, and
on the next day orders are received to proceed according to
the first project, and to continue the armaments. All these
changes of destination, all these measures adopted without
preparation, must cause great expense, and yet we are certain
that they will be useless, because we have confidence in the
superior mind which presides over the desti&es of France. It
would, then, be better to confine ourselves to observing for a
time the progress of events among our intractable neighbours,
waiting to offer them in the sequel the aid of an amicable me-
diation.—Journal du Commerce, Aug. 29, 2d edition.
BAYONNE, AUG. 25.—Some Polish horsemen have just ar-
rived here. It is affirmed that they served as an escort to
Gen. Cordova, who is said to have passed the frontier.
The Carlists pretend that the Portuguese troops at Vittoria
have suddenly received orders to return by forced marches to
Portugal, and that they have already set out in the direction of
Zumera. They also say that the Commander of Engineers
at Vittoria is gone over to the Carlists.--Journal du Com-
merce, Aug. 29.
