CABRERA, by way of reprisal for the butcheries of
her son. But the chief offender is yet unscathed.
MINA, by whose command NOGUERAS acted, is
more deserving of reproach than his infamous subal-
tern. Why then is he not removed ?
General M'DoUGAI. and Colonel WYLDE reached
Madrid on the 3d inst. In their first interview with
the President of the Council, they assured him that
the reports in circulation respecting the wretched con-
dition of the British Legion, were entirely unfounded,
and that, on the contrary, the men were well conducted;
and in good health and spirits. Many of them had
been ill, and mortality had prevailed in the hospital to
a considerable extent ; but latterly the sickness was
fast disappearing, and the QUEEN had no troops more
willing and' efficient in the field than the British
volunteers.

In the meantime, M. MENDIZABAL labours inces-
santly to meet every difficulty. His arrangements for
paying off the .dividends on the home debt on the first
of April, and of the foreign debt on the Ist May, are
nearly completed. As to his popularity throughout
the kingdom, no better proof can be adduced than the
fact that six several constituencies have returned him
as one-of their Representatives.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday, Mon-
day, and Tuesday, thOse of the two first days having
been delayed in consequence of the stormy state of the
weather, have been received. The motion for a poli-
tical amnesty was lost by a large majority—the Minis-
ter of Justice having opposed it on the ground that to
originate acts of grace is the prerogative of the Crown.
The debate was long and animated ; but the more mo-
derate Members of the Chamber declined to vote either
for or against the Government. From a remark made
by the Minister of Justice it was supposed that he would
shortly pardon the ex-Ministers confined in the Castle
of Ham.

In the sitting of Monday, M. LACAVE LA PLAGUE
read the report of the committee upon M. Goung's
plan for the reduction of the Five per Cents. The
report stated that out of a sum of 66,734,000 f. of
inscriptions in Paris, 20,600,000 f. belonged to fo-
reigners ; and in the 46 millions remaining were in•
eluded the stock of private individuals, of the Majo-
rats, of Securities, and of the Caisse des Consigna-
tions. There were also eight millions of departmental
inscriptions, thirty-two millions of inscriptions taken
in Paris, and payable in the departments. This exten-
sive distribution proved that, on the question of the
.
conversion, the Chamber was not influenced by mere
local considerations. On the Ist January, 1832, the
total number of inscriptions amounted to 245,000 f. ;
and the Ist January, 1836, the number amounted to
260,000 f. ; there had, consequently, been an augmen-
tation of 15,000 f. in four years. Many of those fund-
holders were artists, literary men, artisans, old men,
females, &c., who had placed their savings in the
funds, and who relied on the protection of Govern-
ment, which, without abandoning its rights, ought
to exercise them, with prudence and consideration.
The report then went on to examine the different pro-
jects that had been made for reducing the interest upon
the debt ; and after urging the several objections that
had been made to each, concluded by proposing the
following resolution to the adoption of the Chamber :-
" The Chamber of Deputies, founding its decisions on the
motives stated in the Report of its Committee, and an the ex-
planations given by the King's Ministers, adjourns the discus-
sion of the proposition provisionally admitted by it in the sit-
ting of February 6, 1836, and having for its object the exercise
of the right belonging to the State-that of reimbursing to its
creditors the nominal capital of the Five per Cent. Stock."
No opposition was made to this resolution, greatly
to the surprise of several Ministerial partizans, who
had not expected that the friends of M. HUMANN
would have given way so easily.. The President of the
Council, M. 'TIERS, then rose and informed the
Chamber, that the Government adopted the principle
of reducing the interest upon the debt one tenth, and
that a Bill on the subject would be introduced at the
commencement of the session of 1837.
There is no other news of any interest in these Pa-
pers, with the exception of the following extracts :-
(Private Correspondence of the Messager, Paris, March 15.)
" BAYONNE, MARCH 9.-Nothing important has occurred in
the army, but much in the coterie, which is at the head of the
Government at Madrid. It is in contemplation to take the
command from Cordova, and to give it to Mina as a reward
doubtless; for the assassinations at BarcelOna, and his last feat
in the case of the unfortunate mother of the partisan Carbrera.
But whatever may be the motive, it is certain that the chief
command in Navarre is intended for him, under the following
form :-‘ The army will be comprised of 75,000 men, of whom
Rodil will have the command-25,000 to act on his right, in
Aragon, and General Evans, who is fond of being near the
sea-ports, will command the left in Biscay, with his Legion of
drunkards-the Pottuguese, and some Spanish battalions-
while Mina will shut himself up in Pampeluna, as his centre,
and put on his head what laurels the other may gather."
" This arrangement will not fail to take place, unless (which
is not very likely) Cordova should obtain some signal advan'
tape in the course of the month."
Letters from the island of Bourbon, of the 13th Dec., con-
tain alarming details of a plot said to have been formed in that
island. The people of Colon, it is said, intended to poison
the garrison by means of arsenic mixed in the bread, to set
fire to several communes at once, and thus disperse the whites,
in order to murder them the more easily. The plot was to be
carried into execution at St. Denis. It seems that thirty or
forty persons have been arrested. The captain of a ship that
has arrived at Nantes, says that it was proposed to declare the
island in a state of siege.
A private letter from Frankfort says, that the Austrian
troops in the Tyrol have made a movement towards the fron-
tier of the Grisons. This movement would indicate an incli-
nation to proceed to an armed intervention in the Swiss Can-
tons. German diplomacy is, in fact, rather anxious about re-
ligious disorders, which at present agitate some cantons. It
is feared that thh anarchy may extend to the South German
States.-Messager, March 15.

tt neul ;

In the German papers received this morning, we
find a long article on the appointment of M. TRIERS
to the Presidency of the French Council, and the de-
partment of Foreign Affairs. The Prussian scribe
seems fearfully apprehensive lest the new Minister
should depart from the line of policy pursued by the
Duke de BROGLIE. He has also made the astonish-
ing discovery that M. THIERS is the puppet of TAL-
LEYRAND and Louis PHILLIPPE. This may be
all very correct
; but what else, we should like to be
