attach some degree of credit to the fist part of it.
We know that between the French KING and
his Minister there prevails a great ditrerence of
opinion respecting the Quadruple Treaty, and that
nothing is more probable than that M. 'nu ERs
threatened the SOVEREIGN with his resignation
were his policy not adopted by the Cabinet. But
all that relates to the threatened occupation of
Can dia by French troops, and the retaliatory mea-
sures of England, we regard as utterly groundless.
The Constitutionnel of Friday devotes three co-
lumns in answer to the exposition of the Royalist
Duke DE VALAIY on the Eastern Question. The
Ministerial organ finds great fault with the Noble
Deputy for the anti-national tenour of his views,
but is less happy in an attempt to show the incorrect-
ness of his statements. The same Journal states
that the Government received no news on Tl►urs-
day morning calculated ,a excite the shadow of a
panic on the Bourse—that neither the French
Chambers nor the English Houses of Parliament
were convoked—that Candia was not occupied,
nor Alexandria blockaded—nor, in short, any
of the rumours set afloat by the alarmists well
founded. This statement appears too late to satisfy
the Debats, which contends that it was the duty of
the Government to have announced on Thursday
that the telegraphic despatch then received from
Toulon communicated no news.

The following extracts from the Paris papers
contain the only news they bring of general in-

terest
:
The news from Barcelona states that the reason Got-
zales declined office was the refusal of the Queen to
dissolve the Cortes, and to allow the municipal law to
remain in abeyance until the new chambers should as-
semble. It appears that the Queen was willing to
annul that clause of this unpopular measure which
gives the Crown the tight to appoint the Alcaldes ;
but this not satisfying the views ot Gonzales, who had
laid the programme of his administration before her
Majesty, he and his colleagues tendered their resig-
nation, when Ferraz, Ocis, and others, on the recom-
mendation of Espartero, agreed to form a Cabinet.
Louis Philippe was expected on Sunday at St.
Cloud. He was joined on the 20th by the Duke of
Orleans, who returned to Paris the next day. A po-
litical motive was attributed to the Prince Royal's jour-
ney, but the Ministerial papers affirm that it was one
of family feeling after the escape from the dangers of
the deep.
The Ministerial Temps states there is no foundation
for the rumour that a quick-sailing vessel had been
despatched after the Prince de Joinville, to transmit to
him counter-orders to place himself immediately under
the orders of Admiral Mackau (who is bound for
Buenos Ayres), instead of going to St. Helena. The
Temps adds that letters from Madeira announce that
the Belle Poole and the Favorite anchored there on the
.24th ult., and on the 26th set sail for St. Helena.
The Censeur de Lyon of the 21st mentions the re-
ceipt of private letters from Marseilles, announcing
that 400 sailors, the crews of merchant vessels, had re-
ceived orders to pass over to the ships of war. It was
also reported at Marseilles that the English and Russian
fleets had formed a junction in the Mediterranean.
The interrogatories of the crew of the steamer
which conveyed Prince Louis Napoleon to France were
completed on Friday. Tnere is not a particle of evi-
dence to criminate the sailors ; but it appears that be-
cause there is no law of bail in France, these men are to
he detained for months in prison, in order to ensure
their evidence. Surely their affidavits might be taken,
and then they may be restored to their country and
fami,ies.
The Kings of Holland and Sardinia have officially
notified to the French Government, their determina-
tion to preserve the strictest neutrality in the event
of a war.
The Memorial des Pyrenees says, that it is in con-
templation to break up the army of the north ; and that
the 120,000 comprising it will be distributed in Cata-
lonia, Aragon, Valencia, Andalusia, and the Biscayan
provinces. Two Regiments of the Guards will go to
Madrid, and the regiment of the Princess, and the
Chasseurs of Luchana, will be embarked for the Ba-
learic islands.
Letters from Valencia say that during the month of
June 3,680 insurgents, with 163 officers, made their
submission in the province of Valencia and Arragon.
In Catalonia order is perfectly restored. The public
conveyances perform their journeys without escort, and
soldiers travelling alone can now traverse districts where
lately they could not have gone a few hundred steps
without danger.'
A respectable correspondent at Barcelona writes to
us on the 14th :
" The Queens will set out for Madrid on the 24th,
unless something unexpected should happen to alter
this determination. It is to be wished that the Queen-
Regent would return to the seat of Government, and
that the new Ministry may be able to act without im-
pediment, and shorten the delay which distances occa-
sion in Spain. For this month past the Penin-
sula has been, as it were, without a Go-
vernment ; and at Barcelona, two of the most ar-
dent adherents of the Jovellanist party, and at Madrid
an ex-Cabinet Minister have directed the administra-
tion of their country, which is so calumniated and so
patient. As for the conduct of Espartero, I may say
that it has been prudent, and gives us reason to hope
that the man who has devoted himself to the cause of
the throne and the people, will, in spite of the calum-
nies of the Jovellanists, contribute to establish a strong
and really constitutional pow er.—Le Constitutionnel,
Aug. 22.
BRUSSELS, AUG. 22.—A1l the members of the di-
plamatic body at Loudon, which is so numerous in that
capital, attended the levee of the King of the Belgians.
He received, among others, M. Dedel, the Envoy of the
King of the Netherlands. It is said that the represen-
tative of Russia was the only one who did not wait on
King Leopold.
The Echo du Luxembourg complains bitterly of the
new Tariff which the King of the Netherlands has pro-
mulgated in the Grand Duchy.
FROM BOHEMIA, AUG. 13.—You already know
that Prince Metternich, accompanied by his consort
and Count Maltzahn, the Prussian Ambassador at the
Austrian Court, left his seat at Konigsworth, on the
11th of this month, in consequence of an invitation to
go to Dresden to have an interivew with his Majesty the
King of Prussia. They are expected back at Konigswarth
on the 15th. A few days before the Princes departure the
French Ambassador, Count St. Aulaire, arrived at Ko-
nigswarth, and on the very day of the Prince's depar-
ture Count Fiquelmont, late Austrian Minister at. the
Court of St. Petersburgh, now Minister of State, ar-
rived. Count St. Aulaire had immediately on his ar-
rival a long conference with Prince Aletterrich, with
the result of which he is said to have declared himself
pretty well satisfied. However, I believe I may posi-
tively state that the ratification of the treaty of London
of the 15th of July has already taken place, both by
Prussia and Austria.
According to accounts from Berlin hopes are enter-
tained that the Archbishop of Cologne on signing an en-
gagement to undertake nothing against the rights of
the Crown (as the Archbishop ot Posen, Dunin, de-
clared) will obtain permission to return to his diocese.
The scarcity of corn in Russia has occasioned a con-
siderable rise in the prices of all descriptions in Bohe-
Galacia, and Hungary.
ST. PETERSBURGIL AUG. 13.—The Emperor and
the Grand Duke Alexander lelt Zarskojeselo early on '
Ith for the southern Government of Novogorod,
Moscow, and Kiew. It is not known whether his
Majesty will go to Warsaw, but it is said he will go to
Fischbach, in Silesia, to join the Empress, and return
with her to St. Petersburgh, where we hope they will ar-
rive at the beginning of next month.—Prussian State
Gazette. Aug. 20.
The Queen-Regent of Spain, accompanied by her two
daughters, h4r new Ministry, and the Dictator Espartero,
was to have embarked on the 22d inst. front Barcelona for
Valencia, on her return to Madrid.
