daughter with bloodshed, perforated the walls of
her bed=room : with Inurat rous Lulle and which
but for the presence of mind of the guardian of the
Royal children, would either have destroyed them
or rendered them by terror drivelling idiots for
life. After vomiting forth the grossest and
foulest calumnies against the Established and
Constitutional Government of Spain, CHRISTINA
Munoz thus proceeds indirectly to avow her
deep partieipation in the crimes of the insur-
gents :

. - -
After having plunged her in misfortune the Revo-
lutionists are striving to extort from her lips an in-
) ,iquitous condemnation of those who, in resisting
Ithe most odious tyranny, have confidently invoked
her august name. In their blind delirium they
aspire to nothing loss than, to obtain from her Ma-
jesty the sanctioa:of all the acts and all the scan-
dals of the Government of 'Madrid, which rekindled in
Spain extinct discords, and they wish, moreover, that her
Majesty should lay the responsibility of this new confla-
gration to the noble defenders of the laws indignantly out•
raged. Their frenzy prompts them to call on her Ma-
jesty to avow herself indirectly the accomplice of those
who have the shameful impudence of calumniating, by
charging them with regicidal projects, the men who have
courageously taken arms to deliver august and helpless
orphivss from the hardest bondage.
We require no further confirmation of the
guilt
of CHRISTINA MUNOZ." What she with-
holds the documents found upon the person of
the unfortunate Don DIEGO LEON have already
made known to the Spanish Government.
Urns PHILIPPE must now either command her
to quit the French capital, or confirm Spain in
the well-founded belief, that he conspired with
her to overthrow the Government of ESPARTERO.
There is no middle course now left for him.
In repelling the calumnies of the Ex-Regent,
the Spanish Government is no longer bound by
any scruples of delicacy from withholding any
part of the charges which it can substantiate
against CHRISTINA Aluzioz. She has forfeited
every title to the respect due to her as mother
of the Sovereign. She abandoned the guar-
dianship of her children for the embraces of a
menial; and instead of being grateful to the
brave patriots who winked at her infidelity
while shedding their blood in the defence
of the throne of her daughter, she only thought
of how she could most effectually pour all the
wealth of the country into her own coffers.
While the brave soldiery were fighting knee-
deep in snow, without shirts, shoes, food, or
shelter to keep her and her daughter upon the
throne, she was hoarding and investing mil-
lions of money in foreign securities for the
future enrichment of her paramour. Not
a real would she invest in the Spanish
loans to provide rations for the brave army
fighting in defence of IsABELLA and liberty.
TO CHRISTINO MuNoz, therefore, Spain could
never owe gratitude. To her, as a professed sym-
pathiser with the insurgents in the Northern
Provinces, Spaniards owe hatred, and, could it
reach her, punishment. ESPARTERO has proved
himself equal to the defence of the national
honour and interest, and we trust that on this
occasion lie will not fail to vindicate the high
claims of his Government to the loyal support
and devotion of the Spanish people.

The .whole of the French Journals of Monday
have been received. The Moniteur publishes
the following telegraphic despatches :

" BAYONNE, OCT. 23.
" THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR.

" The Regent left Madrid on the evening of the 19th.
lie was at Briviesca on the 22d, and was expected the
same day at Vittoria. The National Guard remains
alone at Madrid, which is tranquil. There has been no
other execution than that of Leon. The other persons
arrested have not yet been tried." _

" TOULON, OCT. 23.
" GENERAL BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS TO THE MINISTER
OF WAR.

" The garrison of Algiers has successfully accom-
plished its second re-victualling of Milianah. It beat
the enemy at Chaabel Gotta. According to the con-
feSsion of the Arabs themselves, they had more than
200 killed, and a great number wounded. We have
lost but one officer and two soldiers, and have had 30
wounded."
The Pltare des Pyrenees, of the 22d, states that a num-
ber of generals, of officers, soldiers, and peasants, who
have shared in O'Donnell's insurrection, took refuge in
the French territory, on the night of the 21st, to the
number of 300. On the same day 200 men, commanded
by Colonel Izquierdoe Aide-de-Camp of General O'Don-
nell, entered France by the Alducles, and General O'Don-
nell himself, with 600 men, entered at Sare, for which
place the Sub-Prefect of Bayonne started immediately.
It has been discovered that some rogues, none of whom
are detected, have, by means of a chemical process, re-
duced the value of gold coins to such an extent, that a
Napoleon of 20 francs, on being weighed, was found to
latve lost 5 francs worth of its original metal.
The Seine has risen considerably during the last week
or ten days. The water is now on a level with the edges
of the wharfs, and large boats are unable to pass under
some of the bridges. Tshe river is exceedingly muddy.
One of the two French workmen, who were arrested
in Belgium on suspicion of being accomplices of Quenis-
set in his attempt on the Royal Dukes, has been delivered
up to the French authorities, as we have had occasion
to :state, and has since been conveyed to Paris. His
name is Grandrieux. The other, named Gigot, has been
expelled from Belgium, and, as the Independent of Brus-
sels states; has gone to London.
On Saturday afternoon, an old invalid rushed out of
the house, No. 36, Rue de Courcelles, next to the hotel
ot? the Queen Maria Christina, with a drawn knife in his
hand, exclaiming," It is I! it is I who have killed her!"
and, before any one could seize him, plunged the knife
twine into his own breast and fell dead. It was found
that he had murdered the wife of the porter, a young
wo man, who had only lately lain in of her first child.
He.r husband had left her but a few minutes before. The
cause of this horrible tragedy has not been ascertained.
The Leipsic Gazette has a letter from Alexandria, of
the 27th ult., stating that an English officer had passed
t hrotigh that place with 4,000,000 of Spanish piastres,
part of the ransom of Canton. We have seen nothing
to confirm this in our last advises from Egypt, which
are of the same date.
A letter from Tabriz, of August 15th, in the Franc-
urter Journal, says :—" The Persians are looking with
impatience for the arrival of the English Ambassador.
A discussion has been held between the Russian Am-
bas mlor and the Schah's Prime Minister. His Excel-
lene.y has imperiously demanded the payment of sums
due to his Government, adding, that he had received
hist; .actions to facilitate an arrangement of the differ-
ence s between Persia and England, but that the manner
in e hich this had been effected would not receive the
ease nt of the Czar. The scarcity produced by drought
Las been so great that the inhabitants have been obliged
t s ell their children to procure bread, and the Mussul-
s sax Is have purchased them, although they are born
t istians. The Russian Government has sent orders
to- its Consul to redeem these poor creatures, and 200
of them have been already set at liberty. They will
pr obahly be sent into Russia. The Shah has brought
six -. regiments from the province of Adjerbidjah. He in-
ter:sled to undertake an expedition against Asterabad,
but: was forced to relinquislat from want of money."
'I he Genoa Steam-boat Company has, it is said, sue-
ceei led in raising the Pollux, sunk in the Canal of Piom-
binc a An inventory of everything found in her has been
take ,n, and the Russian Princess, who was one of the
past ,gingers, will be rejoiced at learning that her casket
of jt .well, which is among the articles, is all safe.
A . cannon, cast in the foundry of M. Poucet, at Liege,
3 lad a after a model from the old French naval guns,
sets .wring feet in length, and weighing 2,486 English
was lately proved with 61 discharges, increasing
ually from a rather low up to a very high charge.
At the sixty-first firing the gun burst. The result was
highly satisactory, as, previous to it, no cast-iron can-
non at Liege has ever sustained more than 59 discharges
wit: tout bursting. The grain of the metal was found to
be s •ffry fine:and close.
Th e Boulogne papers state that the American mer-
chant/ ; brig, Sparkles, of New York, Capt. Beale, with
a car go of wine and dye-wood from Cuba to Hamburgh,
was i 'riven ashore at Etaples on the 14th instant. The
crew were all saved and the cargo landed. An English
brig, in ballast, the Rosell of Aberdeen, Captain Reid,
was d riven ashore on the 18th, between Ambletense and
Cape Gris-nez. All the crew was saved, and the vessel
WE 3 e xpected to be got afloat. Numerous bales of cot-
ton,. which were thrown overboarn from the Marechal de
Villlars steamer, from Havre to Dunkirk, during a gale,
have. been picked up off Boulogne. A French sloop
from. Treport was driven on a bank at the entrance of the
barber ur, on the 21st inst., and but for the timely aid of
the lit :e-boat all the crew would have perished.
Th. , James Watt steamer arrived, a few days ago, at
Havre from London, after having been three several
times . driven back by the weather into Ramsgate har-
bour. The steersman was knocked down by a violent
sea brrs Ilsing over him, whereby his back was broken,
and Iv, ,died while being carried ashore at Havre. The
ship aid not sustain the slighteSt damage, and the above
wee thsa only accident during 'her tremendous passage.
The Ce tete :in states that Ramsgate harbour is full of
vessels which have put in there in distress, and that
there cr re twenty mariners in the hospital who have been
injured during the gales.
The St. Malo papers state that the oyster-dredgers on
/ •
that ei )ast have taken 4,000,000 oysters from the bank
of S. Mark, but tkat the English fishermen have not
failed: in taking their share, as several of their boats were
still ox the bank on the night of the 13th inst.
A C ouncil of Ministers was held on Saturday at St.
Cloud, immediately after which couriers were sent off by
the Mit, ister of Foreign Affairs, to London, Vienna, and
Maelxicle

Itny,al Ordonnance has been issued granting to the
Mir Lister of Finance an extraordinary credit of ip,ooof.
to meet some urgen expenses of the Court of Peers.
Che Berlin papers mention, as a circumstance which
cat- iscit some sensation in that capital, that a Captain-in
