whereupon the sentinel shouted " To arms !" and the
dragoons threw themselves on the people, who, how-
ever, redoubled their shouts. The soldiers then dis-
charged four shots at the people, and wounded a
workman ; another man was arrested, but soon re-
leased by the people. The whole town became
alarmed, and the police imprudently caused the drums
to beat, surrounding each drummer by four soldiers
with their muiiets presented to the people. Their
march was greeted by hissings, by pistol-shots, and
renewed shouts in honour of the POPE. In the
evening patrols traversed the city, but the population
continued to cry Vivats! and to show a determination
not to be intimidated. Troops arrived from Massa
in the night, but no fresh disturbance took place.

The Patria of Florence, of the 23d, confirms the
entrance of the Modenese troops in the territory of
Fivizzano, by the village of Gallitano. The same
journal states that the French ship Jupiter has cast
anchor in the port of Portoferrajo.
We read in a letter from Rome, of the 20th—
" Cardinal FERErTTI, Secretary of State, returned to
Rome the day before yesterday. The population
went out to meet him, and accompanied him to the
Quirinal. A great number of young men on horse-
back waited for him at Ponte Malle, a league from
the city. A deputation presented an address in the
name of the population to the Cardinal Secretary of
State, praying him not again to absent himself from
Rome, and to dismiss from the public administration
certain individuals who employ all their efforts
to neutralise the good intentions of the POPE and
his Minister."

A letter from Naples of the 21st says—
" The telegrapL announced in the evening of the
19th the arrest of Baron Longobucco, one of the
chiefs of the insurrection. Nine of his companions
succeeded in reaching a Custom house boat, and were
about to put off, when a detachment of royal troops
came up to them. A severe combat then took place
on both sides ; hit, being outnumbered, the com-
panions of Longobucco were obliged to surrender.
Of the chiefs of the insurrection there only remain at
present I. A. Romeo, whose position is not known,
and the Baron Pktino and his brother, who aro at
the head of a band of insurgents in the wood of La
Sila. But as they can do nothing against the im-
posing forces of the Neapolitan Government, we may
now consider the insurrection terminated, unless un-
foreseen circumstances should cause it to break out

Madrid journals of the 24th and 25th ult. have
arrived.

The Gaceta of the 24th ult. publishes the following
decrees :

"In attention to the grave considerations which
Don Ramon Maria Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, has
exposed to me, I hereby relieve him of the charge of
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, it being my
will that he continue with the Presidency of the
Council of Ministers.

" Given at the Palace the 23d Oct., 1847.
" Is signed by the royal hand.
(Countersigned) The Minister of Grace and Justice,
" LORENZO ARRAZOLA."
" Having thought fit to relieve Don Ramon Maria
Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, of the charge of my
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and attending to the cir-
cumstances that distinguish Don Carlos Martinez de
Irujo, Duke of Sotomayor, I hereby nominate him, in
place of the former, for the Ministry.
" Given at the Palace the 23d Oct., 1847.
" Is signed by the royal hand.
(C ountersigned) The President of the Council,
"Duke of VALENCIA."

The GaceN of the 25th announces the appointment
of Senor BERTRAND DE Lis as Minister of Marine.
Both the new Ministers are creatures of MAMA
CHRISTINA. The Gaceta also contains a royal order,
signed by Senor ORLANDO, and addressed to the Di-
rector-General of the Public Debt, commanding him
to suspend the execution of a previous royal order of
the 2d instant, by which Three per Cent. stock was
to be issued in exchange for bills on the Treasury
which had not been paid, and which formed part of
the QUEEN'S dotation. The stock to be issued at 35.
The royal order of the 2d, it app: ars, had also dis-
posed that the shares held by the public Treasury, in
the bank of San Fernando, should be transferred to
the treasury of, the royal household. It is now or-
dered that nothing shall be done in either matter until
an account has been given to the Cork's, and a reso-
lution has been taken by the latter, and if any stock
has been already handed over to the royal household,
a statement of its amount and numbers is to l'e sent in.

SERRANO has reaped the reward of his treachery.
NARVAEz, who on the night of the 4th October was
so lavish of his promises to hitn, has caused him to be
arrested, and conducted under escort to Cadiz, from
whence he is to embark for the Canary Islands. It
is not improbable but that ho will be compelled to
disgorge the large sums he has received from MARIA
CHRISTINA before he receives permission to return to
Spain. His fate should operate as a warning to those
Progressistas whom, in accordance with orders from
Paris, the Afrancesados are at present endeavouring
to buy over, in order to prevent their making a stand
against the Montpensier succession.
According to the Esperanza, MARIA CHRISTINA is
intriguing to get Mos; and PIDAL into the Cabinet.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and

The Cabinet completed the seventh year of its
existence on Friday. Of the original Cabinet of the
29th October, only three members remain—viz., M.
GUIZOT, M. DUCHATEL, and M. CUNIN-GRIDAINE.
This, however, is a matter of small importance.
MM. GUIZOT and DUCHATEL have always been the
'Ministry, the other Cabinet Ministers being, in fact,
merely the head clerks of their respective departments.
The Debats of Frid gives a summary of the re-
sults of the late Customs' returns for the first nine
months of the year, and then concludes thus :

" What must be conclud: d from these facts ?
Exactly days ago, of the state of
the public
whatreven.e ues.aidi a fewhereas been, beyond a doubt,
a diminution in the general movement of exchanges
and of certain branches of labour; but the situation
of our exterior commerce presents nothing grave, one
might almost say nothing irregular, nothini, at least
which resembles the perturbations and forced stopping
of work which we have had for six months to record
among our neighbours. The admission of corn free
of duty, and alo a smaller importation of cotton, wool,
cotton-thread, oil, &c., has, it is true, caused our re-
ceipts from the customs to diminish notably (from
114 1-34.ni11ions to 991 millions). But on the side
of
the
wise these which show by the way
which our manufacturing trade

directs its purchases, and knows how to moderate
them at need, we find a more considerable employ-
ment of important materials, especially of coal and
metals ; and we find remarkable increases on almost
all our articles of exportation. Without having been
obliged to sell its goods at any price, our export
trade appears to have in general well sustained its
sales abroad; the vital branches of trade in the coun-
try, that of wines, silks, refining sugar, drapery,
glass, gloves, and Indian articles, have gained some-
thing over 1846, which year was already in progress
for most of those branches of exportation. These
results, regard being had to circumstances, offer on
the whole nothing but what is satisfactory, and cause
besides favourable opinions to be formed with respect
to the march which transactions and labour in our
interior market must have followed."
The editor of the National is to be tried on a
charge of having, in his number of the 21st October,
first, caused the blame incurred by the acts of the
Government to ascend to the Kixcl ; second, of hav-
ing attacked the form of government established by
the charter of 1830 ; third, of having been offensive
to the royal person ; fourth of having adhered to
another form of government than that which is esta-
blished.

In an article on the affairs of Switzerland, the
National says—
" When, in 1776, the colonists of America rose
against the tyranny of all-powerful England, nume-
rous volunteers generously hastened to share their
perils, and in all parts subscriptions were opened to
supply them with arms and money. The same thing
has been renewed here every time that the heroic
people of Poland have protested in arms, and at the
price of their blood, against their cruel oppressors."
This, adds the National, is what the people of
France should now do in favour of the Liberals of
Switzerland.

The Presse has the following from Switzerland :
" The news which reached Paris yesterday from
Lucerne seem to indicate peace. Two of our letters,
one from Berne and the other from Geneva, both con-
tain intelligence which we shall be anxious to see
confirmed. Our correspondents assure us that, at
the second secret sitting on Monday last, the Diet
took into consideration a proposition made by Bale
Town tending to peace ; and add, that the majority
no longer makes the question of the Jesuits a war
question. Unfortunately there is a fact which, until
