will prove all that relates to
the state of the capital in this official communication
to be a pure fiction. The great Anarchists, of which
the French Government has such a horror, are the
Constitution and MENDIZABAL. France—or rather

_.°uts PHlLlPPE—having resolved upon a dissolu-
tion of the quadruple alliance, we may henceforth pre-
pare ourselves for receiving no official news from Paris

which
the obviousness of the motive
induced the French Government to give dis-
patches so unfavourable to the QUEEN in the official
columns of the Moniteur, it is right that we should
mention that the report of General ALAN, which by
.Implication proves the first despatch to be a fabrica-
tion, appears in another part of the same number of
the Moniteur. According to the despatch, GomEz
entered Requena on the 11th. Now, General ALAIX,
writing from the same neighbourhood at a late hour
on the 14th, pledges himself that up to the moment
at Which he wrote the Carlists had not attacked the
town,
nor in fact had they approached it sufficiently
near to menace it with any danger to the inhabitants !
The Journal des Debats of Friday has an article
111 which it congratulates France on the prosperity of
i
udustrY, and the absence of all idle and extravagant
eieculation, throughout the country. There is nothing
t I°lv--nothina factitious in the impulse given to
trade The Merchants and Manufacturers are said
ot to be at all apprehensive of evils against which
they have endeavoured to provide ; the Bank is amply
supplied with coin ; and there is no excess in the paper
Issues of the nation. The Debats admits that every
evemmercial shock felt in England must extend to
ranee ; but it expresses a belief that the passing tem-
pest which threatens this country now, will pass over
'rance without injury to its trade or commercial re-
lations in any shape.
°4 Thursday IsTurtrz, the late Spanish Premier,
had an audience of the KING. He was presented by
GenerallA. ALAVA, who still remains in Paris. The
i'argnia de MIRAFLORES is also a sojourner in the
relich capital. Shortly after the presentation of
.8117RIZ) SENOR DE CAMPUZANO, the new Spanish
4binbassador, arrived in Paris. CORDOVA is at
15ordeaux.
Th

a e Journal du Commerce of Friday last contains
very sensible article, by way of commentary, upon
7.servations which appeared in the leading columns of 4
e Sun of last week, with respect to the Spanish
ri
estion. Our Parisian Contemporary complains, and
eth some justice we confess, that we do not suffi-
2ently bear in mind that the Press of France is gagged,
.ind. therefore cannot speak what it thinks. The
;der then goes on to observe that he quite agrees
with us
in all we have said respecting the French
g.,t
evernment, but that the law of the 11th of
etober, prevents the Journal du Commerce from
Sher expressing its own opinions or quoting ours.
e sympathise deeply with the Liberal Press of
France, and sorry should we be to attribute their
enmpulsory silence, under such circumstances, to a
slavish devotion to the will of the Government. But
when the Journal du Commerce was convinced of the
rectitude of the opinions put forth in The Sun—when
lt
was prepared to admit that the French Government
Was in the very act of betraying the liberties of Spain—
was it well to attack us for denouncing the treason, and
Petuting out the traitor ?

ghe been received. The QUEEN REGENT has pub-
;leveral decrees since the formation of the Cabinet,
:rile of which are very important, though quite unne-
s'ary to be given at full length. By one of these
the karquis of RODIL is ordered to repair immedi-
atelY to the Army of the Centre to re-organize it, in
no
tzfortnity with the necessities of the country. His
eellency is also to trace out a plan of the campaign
41)014 to be commenced, which the Generals will be
°lliged to follow. He is also to prescribe to the Gene-
talt 'ie-Chief all measures which he may think necessary

Purpose the QUEEN invests him with the unli-
:rite(' power which the Constitution places at the dis-
r:4 of the Crown in all cases of like emergency. An-
6"er decree provides for the free election of the
e°,ll" in accordance with the provisions of the Con-
ini'lltien of 1812; a third provides for the re-
tiistalment of individuals in certain offices which
ey held previous to the abolition of the Con-
wttition by FERDINAND VII.; and a fourth or-
dersi that the property of all persons who have clan-
stirhely left Spain since the 15th of August last,
f4ll be confiscated to the Crown for the benefit
ti the State. The last is a bold measure, and will

tieevertleless, the recent flights of whole families clan-
