A letter from Bale of the Bth says—
" The insurrection is spreading, and has reached Mur-
ten, and the districts of Bulle, Gru\ Ires, and Stofes.
On the evening of the 6th the Castle of Murten was
carried by assault, by the insurgents. who made the
Governor prisoner, and soon afterwards marched on
towards Fribourg. The Regency of that canton has
taken up arms, but the Government of Lausinne has
refused a passage to the troops, composed of a battalion
of infantry and a company of carabineers. A report
is current that 200 volunteers from Murten and Stores
have entered Fribourg, but other accounts state that
they have arrived before the city, where they await
reinforcements from Bulb, and Rornons. It is, however,
stated, that at the first news of the insurrection, the
Executive Council marched two companies of infantry
on Newneck ; that the first battalion and the company
of carabineers were to occupy Schwarzenburg, Lanper,
and Newneck, whilst thc second battalion would be held
in readiness to act as circumstances required."

Athens papers to the 30th ult. have been received

It is officially announced in the Moniteur Grec
;hat COLETTI is sufficiently recovered to resume his

'unctions.

The Budget of 1847 has been presented to the
Chambers by the Finance Minister. The receipts
are estimated at 18,711,699 drachmas, and the ex-
penditure at 18,077,507 drachmas, showing a surplus
of 634,192. In the budget of 1846 the receipts
were estimated at 18,350,973 drachmas, and the ex-
penditure at 17,910,107 drachmas, showing a surplus
of 410,866.
Madrid papers of the sth have arrived.

The Government have at length determined to
send Senor OLOZAGA back to France without bring-
him to trial. Orders to this effect were dispatched
to Pampeluna on the 4th. As the French Con.ytitu-
tionnel observes, in alluding to a rumour current in
Paris that such would be the case—" This measure,
although perhaps less severe than the first, is not less,
illegal. His banishment can no more be allowed
than his imprisonment. Nothing could deprive him,
according to the terms of the Spanish law, of the
character and inviolability of a deputy ; but no pro-
secution, either regular or irregular, exists against
him. Nothing therefore can prevent M. OLOZAGA
from taking his seat in the Cortes, and the Ministry
that would oppose it by force would not less violate
the law in substituting banishment for imprison-
ment." And be it remembered that to prevent a de-
puty from taking his seat is a crime punishable by
the law of April, 1846, with death. Senor PIDAL,
the 'Minister of the Interior, who signed the warrant
for the arrest of 0r,n7..t0w, stands therefore in a some-
what awkward predicament.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday, con-
taining the KING'S Speech on the opening of the
Chambers, which we published in The Sun of yes-
terday; consequently the greater portion of the in-
telligence contained in these papers has been antici •
pated. All the members of the diplomatic corps
were present in grand uniform. The Marquis of
NORMANDY, who was seated next to the Turkish Am-
bassador, attracted general attention. The QUEEN
was accompanied by the Princesses. The young
Duchesse DE MONTPENSIER, who looked exceedingly
well, was the grand object of attraction. The KING,
who was accompanied by the Due DE NEMOURS, the
n7ni is Messenger :
Prince JoINVILLE, and. the Dues D'AUMALE and
MONTPENSIER, was

received with repeated shouts of
" Vive le Roi."

should exist for mention
being made of this matter in the King's Speech. The
termination of the same paragraph, speaking of aid.
was, however, greeted with, cheers. In the reference to
the Duke de Mon:
ye
grieved theth that Chambers

pepsier s marriage, the King's voice
seemed at first to slightly falter, but it became firm
and assured as be
.terminated the sentence. Some cries
of 6, bravo !" were first he,rd, which were followe.d
afterwards by acclamations. The phrase which speaks
of Cracow was also cheered, .th ..oug„ not so loudly as
the preceding ones. `The rest of the spe, ch, not calling
for any particular demonstration, Was li,tened to in
silence, and at the close of the whole loud acclamations
again rose."
A salvo
of r ial
and t lery gave notice that the ceremony
had terminated, the royal cortege returned to the
a
Tuileries. Laud cheers burst forth along the line of
troops and National Guards as the KING passed by,
and on every point the utmost order reigned. The
weather was fine the whole day, being frosty, but dry
and seasonable.
The effect of the Speech was to bring down the
funds. A fall of 25 centimes took place immediately
that the contents of the Speech became known. Great
dissatisfaction was manifested at the tameness of the
paragraph concerning Cracow. M. GUIZOT had pro-
posed to characterise the affair as regrettable, but
even that term was too strong for the KING, who
struck it out, and substPuted for it the word " un-
expected." He also slurred over the passage in
reading it, giving it in a very indistinct tone as
though he considered it a regrettable necessity that
compelled him to allude to the subject. The announce-
ment of the Montpensier marriage was made, on the
contrary, in a loud and sonorous voice.
The most serious apprehensions of famine are en.
tertaned, in consequence of the continued deficiency
of the supply of corn in the market and the conse
quent rise of price.

The Reforme states, that on Friday and Saturday
last a further rise in the ri '-e of gram had taken
place in all the markets ii.: --
he neighbourhood of
Paris. At Montivilliers, Etampes,
toise, Chartres, Nogent-le-Roy, Soissons, Pont- Saint-
Clermont, Pon-
Maxenee, Provins, and Orleans, the rise varied from
30 centimes to one franc the hectolitre. The supply
in those markets was not equal to the demand.
On the subject of the supply to
be expected from
abroad, the National says— s i
" It result; from the information we gather from the
Bulletin des Hulks et Marches, that we are in a truly cri-
tical state, and that importations from abroad are
urgently necessary to supply our deficiency. The ques-
tion, therefore, is—whatliave we to expect from abroad?
Our letters frim the Black SF,a, we are
make us great promises. They announce the existence
of more than 2.000,000 hectolitres of corn at Odessa, and
quantities at Constantinople
that there are nearly ecpill bound to say,
and Alexandria ; but though this may ensure a provision
for the south, the rest o' France has not the less reason
to be uneasy. For example—what do they write from
America? Out of 334,000 barrels of flour that syere in
New York on December 25, 100,000 had been sold for
exportation, and were only waning for ships ; 50,000
were in the hands of the bakers, and therefore there re
mained no mere than 200,000 for the daily wants at
home, and the demands from foreign countries during
the winter months. Let it be observed, besides, that the
rise in price is already felt, and that there is Already

of the salaries which they have demanded and of the
salaries they have reused. This peep behind
the curtain is instructive as .well as amusing.
We hope that other managers will follow Mr. BUNN'S
excellent example, and resist all such exorbitant
demands, and that they will in every case take
care that the amount of those demands so
rejected shall be made known to the public,
in order that the patrons of the drama
(lyrical and histrionic) may be enabled to compare the
real value of artistes with the fancy price which those
same artistes place upon themselves.

A letter from Berne of the 7th states that up to
that time only the Russian and Austrian Legations
had decided on removing to Zurich ; all the others
still remained at Berne.

We read in another letter from Berne, of the
7th :

" Yesterday a body of from 600 to 700 men arrived at
Morat, from Estavayer and its eavirons, and at night,
after concerting measures with the inhabitants of that
place, they commenced their march towards Fribourg.
Another column was to arrive at the same time from
Bulle and Gruyeres in order to attack Fribourg on both
sides ; the Government, however, had on the previous
evening ordered a battalion to that point, and on the
arrival of the insurgents the tocsin was sounded, and kept
ringing during the whole night ; and in the morning, in
order to call to the aid of Fribourg all the able-bodied
men of the German part of the canton between that place
and Berne, and which part of the country is devoted to
the Government and to the existing order of things,
the Government has called an extraordinary meeting
of the Grand Council for the 9th. The Government of
Berne, now the Vorort, has ordered to the frontier two
companies of infantry and two of cavalry, and has or-
dered other troops to hold themselves in readiness. No
news has been received this morning, but it appears tha t
the Government of Fribourg maintains itself, or other-
wise accounts would have been received of its abdica-
tion. It is besides stated that the Government of Berne
has decided on not tolerating the residence in that canton
of M. Heinzen, a German, and the author of a very vio-
lent publication against the Suv reigns of Germany. He
had previously been expeded from the canton of Zurich.
The Bernese Government held its first sitting of Direc-
tory on the sth, and announced to the diplomatic body
that it had taken on itself the direction of affairs. The
letter conveying this information was es:iched in very
conciliatory terms."
