Madrid papers of the 6th instant have arrived.

PACHECO and BENAVIDES are endeavouring to
bring about a reconciliation betWe'en, the QUEEN and
her husband, with, it is said, some prospect of success.
Serious differences have arisen between PACHECO and
SALAMANCA, and the President of the Council, is
said, threatens to resign if SALAMANCA is any longer
permitted to remain in the Cabinet. Should PACHECO
resign, NARVAEZ will probably succeed him. Some
persons, hoever, reckon confidently on the forma-
tion of a Progressista Ministry.
General CONCHA has not yet returned, but General
BLASEE, at the head of five battalions of infantry, a
squadron of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery,
arrived at Zamora, from Portugal, on the ht instant.
According to the Furo, the Ministry has neither
credit nor money, but a p►ivate letter states that
Senor BUCHENTHAL has succeeded in ,rahing
London 40,000,000 of reels of the loans of
100,(00,000 contracted for by the Bank of Union.
Ihe taxes paid into the public treasury during the
month of July, amount to 100,000,00 Z% of real. •

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
The Court left the Tuileries on Tuesday for Eu.
The National says—
•" The journey was to have taken place two days
sooner, but was adjourned. It was remarked that Louis
Philippe appeared co be suffering and weak. Contrary
to his ordinary custom, he was obliged to support himself
on a cane in walking from his carriage to the railway
train."

Some riots have occurred at Troyes, in consequence
of a discovery made by the people of a conspiracy
among the farmers and bakers to raise the average
price of corn by means of fictitious sales, in order to
keep up the price of bread. One farmer and one
baker, who were caught in the act of entering a fic-
titious sale in the public record, were committed to
prison. This pacified the people, who quietly dis-
persed.

The following warning to the Government is from
the Siecle. We have ourselves frequently pointed out
the resemblance between 1827 and 1847, which is
here alluded to. .Let us hope that the existing
authorities of France will take warning, and adept
(we cannot say return to) honest courses, while there
is yet time. The Siecle says-
-6 Twenty years since the restoration, after having
during several sessions united in the Chambers a ma-
jority considerable in numbers, and every day more
satisfied, came at length to have but the most trifling
majority in the country. The taults of the Government
having daily accumulated the grievances and the strength
of the Oppositio,,, an unanimous feeling as at. length
against It, so that when t shtiwed-Itselt dt chit d
to maintain at ail hazsrdu a system of desperation, a not
less deivrtnined will was expressed by the nation to op
pose an invincible resistance. Everybody knows what
were the consequences of this antagonism. carried by the
restoration even to an open violation of all law and of every
constitutional guarantee. We trust that. the same in-
fatuation will not be seen at so short a distarce from the
revolution of Ju;y; but it is itnpossible fur us not to
remark that the present G .verntnent, which, at its ac
cession, was greeted with a must universal support, and
Witch, during several years. preserved at least a consi-
derable party, which supported it even in its eccentri-
cities, partly through passion and partly through interest,

fresh calamities. These misfortunes, nevertheless, may
be prevented, arid it is precis.ly for that reason that we
here renew our honourable warning whilst there is still
time."

Corruption, it would seem, runs through the
whole of every governmental department. While
the Cabinet Minister is corruptly granting a conces-
sion of mines, the employe of the hospital is pilfering
stores. The following trial exposes the rottenness of
the whole system on which the Executive Govern-
, ment of France is conducted
" A court-martial assembled on Monday and Tuesday
to try Lagrange, ex accountant, and Delorme, adjutant
of the military hospital du Gros Caillou, for malversa-
Lions and traud in the discharge of their duties. La-
grange took to flight when his guilt was discovered, and
did not appear to take his trial, but the evidence against
him was received. On entering into office in the month
of April, 1846. Lagrange immediately commenced a sys-
tem of peculation, in which Delorme participated. Every
day they took soup, meat, and bread, vegetables, wine,
wood, and other articles for their own use. Their ser-
vants presented themselves regularly to receive some of
the articles ; Delorme wore a coat with immense
pocket, in which he was accustomed to slip others ;
and Lagrange caused articles to disappear mysteriously
as well as publicly. At length, in May last, M. Mele-
coir d'Arcq, intendant militaire of the first division, re-
ceived a letter from Labouret, one of the men engaged
in the infirmary, in which the frauds were denounced.
In consequence of this, that gentleman went to the
hospital at the early hour of four in the morning, and
made an inspection of the contents of the soup pot. He
found that it contained a much smaller quantity of meat
than it ought to have done, and on making further
inquiries the whole system of peculation was brought
to light. In addition to his thefts of provisions, La-
grange was proved to have added to the items of bills
in order to obtain a larger sum than he had really paid,
and it was also shown that he had made many of the
tradesmen of the hospital give him receipts in blank,
which he filled up as he pleas, d. The amount of which
he had:deirauded the State, in a year, was at least 7,000 f.
Delorine stated in his defence that he had taken provi
sions himself, and allowed Lagrange to take them,
because the latter had given bins orders to no so as his
superior officer. Ile also stated that fur what he Ilier
himself taken he had always paid Lagrange, and bi lieved
that he had duly accounted for it to the Governmei.t.
His advocste made .an earnest app. al on his behalf, and
Specially insisted on the tact of his being hound to act

deplorable fact, amidst this universal peace, has just
announced at Algiers; that is, the murder of Ben bmati,
one of our Agas, in the Kab)lc districts lately subdued.
This event does not appear in any manner connected
with an attempt at revolt. It is said to have been in-
spired by a private vengeance and a deeply-rooted
family rivalahip, which was not unknown to us."
