and has filled the capital with joy. The assembly
has unanimously requested the KING to take into
consideration the al:terior legitlation, the utilitj'
and necessity of a fixed period for the meeting
of the Diet, and to place it at two years. This
was the conclusion of the Committee, with the
exception of an insignificant modification in
the wording. The amendments of M. DE
VINCIEE and M. DE SCHEVERIN obtained only a
simple majority. 'The speakers who supported these
amendments, and who afterwards agreed with the
Committee, are MM. D'AUVERSEVAL, RIEBOLD, DE
LA SCHEVERIN, DEVINCKE, and BOICUM. 111. HAUSE-
MANN spoke in a conciliatory spirit, and hastened the
solution. The sitting lasted to five o'clock. The
Deputies, on quitting the Chamber, were surrounded
and felicitated on all sides by groups of persons
anxious about the result."
Madrid papers of the 2d have arrived.

The Gaceta contains a decree authorising the re-
turn to Spain of Don MANUEL GODOY, the Prince of
Peace. The preamble to the decree observes, "That
the life and deeds of GODOY are now but of the
domain of history, and that the present generation,
which has nothing to do with such remote events,
considers GODOY not as a man connected with the
interests and passions of present times, but as a
monument of another age, and a wreck escaped
from the universal destruction which afflicted
Spain of last century." It also contains ano-
ther decree transmitting the Grandessa and
title of the Duke of I3AYLEN to the law-
ful descendants of Don FRANCISCO XAVIER DE
CASTANOS. The Tiempo states that ESPARTERO is
included in the forthcoming amnesty,
but that he will
not be permitted to reside in Madrid for the present,
The convention entered into between Spain and Por-
tugal provides that Spain shall place 14,000 men at
the disposal of the QUEEN of Portugal ; the Spanish
Government is to pay them as if they were serving in
Spain, and Portugal engages to supply the additional
pay they are entitled to as being on service in a
fereign country. On the subject of the operation of
these troops, we find the following in the Heraldo :
" The news of the entry of our troops into the toriress
of Valenza de Minho is confirmed. After compelling
the rebels to raise the siege, our troops, under General
Lesoundi, took possession of the place. It will be the
basis of the operations of the army, which will scour
and occupy the whole country between the Douro and
Minho, and maintain there the rights of our ally, the
Queen of Portugal. According to advices from Portugal
to the 23d ultimo, the Junta's steamers having passed
the Oporto bar, the blockading ships attacked them,
when a combat took place. After a firing, which lasted
four hours, the Junta's ships were compelled to return
with considerable loss. The Porto steamer suffered
most. The British Consul at Oporto having embarked
with all his family in the English ships in the Douro,
fears were entertained fur the safety of the Duke de
Terceira and other devoted servants of the Queen, who
are the Juntas prisoners."

The Clamor Publico publishes a letter which states
that on the evening of the 28th a Portuguese steamer
arrived at Corunna, conveying an Englishman with a
mission from the British Ambassador at Lisbon to
the Spanish Government. He wanted to proceed
forthwith to Madrid, but as a post-chaise was not to
be found, he took, by command of the Political Chief,
a place, belonging to a traveller, in the mail coach,
starting that very evening.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Courrier Francais states that at a Council of
Ministers, held on Saturday, on the letter from Mar-
shal BUGEAUD, it was decided that he should not
be immediately replaced, but that leave of absence
for twelve months should be granted to him.
We read in the same paper—
" Utters from Athens state, that at a Council of
Ministers, held on the 17th ult., it was resolved that the
arrsng.ment proposed by Austria should be acceded to.
M. Mussurus will return to Athens and receive a visit
from M. Coletti, who will present him to King Otho,
and after passing some days in Greece he will return ti
Constantinople. He will, it is said, be replaced by ffilirn
Effendi, at present First Secretary of tin, Ottoman Em-
bassy at Paris, a man of merit and great moderation of
character. When the post-boat was taking her depar-
ture from the Piraeus, the Ramier steamer was getting
up her steam, and was preparing, it was said, to go to
Constantinople."

Letters have been received at Havre from Monte
Video, which state, that on the 23d of March ORIBE
posted a decree, which is evidently aimed against the
French ships, as they, for a long time, have carried
on, almost exclusively, the commerce of that place : -
" Shall be considered as pirates, and, as such, be im-
mediately put to death, every master, captain, or other
peraon, of whatever nation he may be, who shall be de-
tected in the exportation of cattle, or any other produec
of the country unless they shall have obtained from us a
license to carry on such trade of dealing."
In the Chamber of Deputies M. GUIZOT stated, in
reply to a question from M. CREMIEUX, that he would
be ready on Monday, the 14th instant, to give any
explanations the Chamber might require on the sub-
ject of the affairs of Portugal.
It was rumoured in Paris that a French interven-
tion in the affairs of Switzerland was not improbable.
