same amount, but the creation of 200 millions of bonds
in virtue of the deeret of the 18th of October. To
make the proposal the more savoury, the salt revenue is
to be appropriated to the liquidation of these bonds
and bills. These proposals will not, we presume, meet
with much countenance among the stock-jobbers of
Lindon aMd Paris. Five per Cents. dull at 284 for cash.

There is no news of political importance in the Paris
Journals of Tuesday. The Paris and Rouen Railway
Bill was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on
Monday, and ordered to be printed. Messrs. CHARLES
LAFFITTE and EDWARD lkonNT and Co. are the con-
tractors. The State is to take seven millions of shares,
to be paid for when the contractors expend eighteen
millions. The Government likewise agrees to lend
seven millions of francs, at four per cent interest, to be
exclusively devoted to the works of the railway and the
purchase of materiel. The interest is not to commence
till three years after the period fixed for the completion
of the railway.

In the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday the Mi-
nister of Public Works moved for a grant of twenty-
three millions of francs for the improvement of the in-
land navigation of France. The motion was opposed,
but, on a division, was carried by 211 votes against
103. Great will be the scramble among the Deputies
to get a part of this money for the jobbing electors of
their respective districts.
A letter from Constantine of the 4th of May, after
relating the facts already known respecting the late expe-
dition of General Galbois against the Aractas, adds—
" NN bile affairs of this importance were passing in the east
of the Province, Lieutenant-Colonel de Froidefond left
Selif with a battalion of infantry and a body of ehasseurs
to chastise the Kabyle tribes of Mount Babor; neither the
difficulties of the grounds nor the boldness and number of the
enemy could not for a moment stop our intrepid soldiers.
Several villages were entirely destroyed, and numerous
flocks carried off. The Lieutenant-Colonel returned to
Setif, after baying vigorously effected the object of this
difficult expedition.
" Just as I am writing the powerful tribe of the Nemen-
chas has made its submission to General Galbois ; by cast-
ing your eyes on the map, you will see that on the frontier
of Tunis the submission of this tribe completes the entire
submission of the immense province of Constantine. The
Marshal is not yet informed of this important event, which
will doubtless cause a great sensation in France. At all
events, it has had a great effect on the inhabitants here.
Seal .—We have no positive news of the commence-
ment of hostilities against Morella, but the army was to
Larch on the 18th for certain. It seems that the presence
of Cabrera among the besieged has a little revived their
hopes. They have promised to hold out till their General
shall bring the succour he has promised them. Cabrera
has retired into the forest of Las Cobas, an impenetrable
asylum, from which he will get into Catalonia, if he finds
that he has lost his game.

We have the Postilion of Gerona to the 20th. It says
that an Alcade of the environs of Sikh, who was kept as a
hostage by the Carlists, for the payment of contributions,
had arrived in that town from Bergs. He says that a se-
dition had broken out in that town ; that the prisons had
been opened, by which means he was able to make his es-
cape. General Segarra and Burjo had disappeared, and
were said to be in France..—Le Commerce.

BRUSSELS, MAT 24.--The Princes of Saxe Coburg
and his Majesty's brother did not arrive at Brussels, as
was announced, but they are expected very shortly.
The Soho steamer brought to Antwerp, on the 22d, a
great many Englishmen of distinction, among whom there
were the Earl of Roden, Lords Sussex and Lennox, Sir
James Bathurst, Colonel Gordon, Major Moore, Captain
Cox, R.N., Baroness Larpent, the Hon. Miss Byron ;
likewise, Mr. George Philip, Professor in the University
of Munich, and Madame d'Oliveira.
BRUSSELS, MAY 25. —The Duke of Saxe Coburg and
his son, Prince Augustus, arrived yesterday at the King's
Palace, from Paris.

PEsTH, MAI, 15.—Yesterday evening, at ten o'clock,
his Imperial Highness the Arch-Duke; Palatine returned
from the Diet at Presturgh. The reception that was pre-
pared for him here was equally splendid and affectionate,
and proves the great popularity which this Prince, to whom
Hungary is so greatly indebted, enjoys among all ranks
and classes.

Deplorable accounts are received from Baja of the
ravages of the conflagration at that place. Above 2,000
houses are in ashes, more than 10,000 persons had lost their
all, and more than fifty perished in flames.
