ster, which, despite the passionate opposition of some
persons, slander has been unable to sully, and the
testimony of my conscience, have made me behold
with coolness, hoping that I should have the opportu-
nity of answering them in the Cortes, the attacks
directed against the operation of the conversion of the
Royal Household Bills, a conversion which, besides
being just and legal, was unavoidable, seeing the con-
dition in which her Majesty's treasury was, according
to the statements of the Intendiente of the royal pa-
trimony for money. Nevertheless, the perseverance
with which the Espanol endeavours to deceive public
opinion, by representing, with allusions not to be
mistaken, facts completely false, which I repel as
calumnies of my personal enemies—this persecution,
I say, obliges me to address myself to you, gentle-
men, in order to inform the public that I am about to
address myself to the tribunals, of whom I shall no
doubt obtain the redress due to me."

Senor PEDRO DE EGANA will, it is said, be reap-
pointed Intendiente of the Household, a post which
he held under the Sotomayor Administration.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
M. GUIZOT seems desperately annoyed at the check
which his retrograde policy has received in Italy,
where, in consequence of his alliance with Austria,
the influence of France is at this moment more com-
pletely annihilated than it has been since the days of
FRANCIS I.
The worthy French Minister gives vent to his
spleen in the Journal des Debate, in what he calls a
reply to the gross insults of the Italian journals. The
article concludes in these words :
If it were necessary to refute all the diplomatic
notes forged in Italy we should not be able, and for
our own part we have no intention to disturb the
satisfaction of the profound public writers who know
so well how to penetrate the secrets of European di-
plomacy. We should hare preferred to see the Ita-
lian Liberals apply themselves to facts and to a true
appreciation of the situation of affairs, and not to in-
dulge in illusions as to the resources at their com-
mand. For that reason we thought it our duty to
address to them some moderate advice. Our advice
which we offered for the good of Italy has been re-
jected. The moderate men- who are of our opinion
are reduced to silence, and it has become the fashion
in Central Italy to howl against the Journal des _Mate
and the French Government. As for our part, our
convictions would be feeble indeed if such miserable
clamours could change them. We are equally aware
that the French Government despises such insults,
but we are of opinion that in the face of manifesta-
tions so often repeated it owes it to itself to demon-
strate that, if in the true interest of Italy it has not
sought popularity beyond the Alps, it is not disposed
to show any anxiety with respect to men who are
systematically hostile to it. Weakness has ever en-
joyed great privileges, but those privileges have
limits which must not be transgressed."
It must be confessed that M. GUIZOT has some
cause for his ill-humour ; clever diplomatist as he is,
he has suffered himself to be out-manoeuvred by two
Powers whom he has hitherto treated with insolent
contempt, and has received a check which will damage
him much in the Minion of the Chambers and of
the country. It has always been a hobby with the
French nation to be considered as the protector par
excellence of the Christians of Syria, and as this self-
assumed office gave the French Foreign Minister an
opportunity of badgering the Porte, and constantly
meddling in the internal affairs of Turkey, the office
has always been considered as one of high honour
for French people. Disgusted with the unauthorised
meddling by M. GUIZOT in Eastern affairs, and with
his avowed support of COLETTX and the war party in
Greece, the SULTAN dispatched CHExus EFFENDI to
Rome, and a treaty has been concluded between the
SULTAN and the PorE by which the Christians of
Syria are henceforth taken under the protection of
the PorE, who is to appoint a representative to reside
among them. This is a serious wound to M. GUIZOT'S
vanity, and a " heavy blow and great discourage-
ment" to the underhand designs on Turkey of the
Krxo of the FRENCH, and therefore some allowance
must he made for the spleen with which both master
and man must necessarily regard the PorE at this
moment. The Presse gives the following account
of this transaction :

" The following informatian has reached us rela-
tive to the object of Chekib Effendi's mission to Rome.
The Sultan has sent him to the Pope to express his
desire that the protection of the Christians of the
Libanus should take place in a direct manner, by the
intervention of are presentative of the Holy See. The
Pope, moved by this overture, has just re-established
the office of Patriarch of Jerusalem, and raised to
that dignity a simple missionary priest. This nomi-
nation causes great surprise in the Cabinet of our
Minister of Foreign Affairs. What is about to pass ?
Will the Pope complete his relations with the Sultan
by accrediting a Nuncio to Constantinople ? If he is
satisfied with a Patriarch at Jerusalem, who is to be
charged to follow and support the representations of
the Patriarch with the Turkish Government ?"
The following are the latest accounts from Switzer-

land contained in the Ministerial journals :
The Dibats says—" We received last evening by
extraordinary express intelligence which confirms too
well our sad expectations. We would yet doubt of
its exactitude, and we must warn our readers that we
do not guarantee it to be perfectly certain, although
we have reason to believe it so. According to this
news, the Diet has voted the measures of execution
against the Sonderbund. Hostilities were expected
to commence in the course of a few days, and the
deputies of the League had quitted Berne."
The Conserrateur says—" It is confidently stated
that a telegraphic dispatch arrived at Paris in the
course of yesterday, announcing that all the deputies
of the seven cantons had left Berne after the vote by
a majority of the Diet for carrying into execution the
measures against the Sonderbund."

The Conimerce quotes the full Owing letter, dated
Toulon, the 27th ult. :

" The steamer Tonnerre, which has been ordered
to hold herself in readiness to put to sea, will, it is
said, convey to Civita Vecchia the 15,000 muskets sup-
plied by the arsenal of Toulon for the armament of
the National Guards of the Roman dominions.
Several pieces of artilery are likewise to be sent to
the Pope. The steam-frigate Vauban sailed to-day
for the coast of Italy, with dispatches for tho Prince
de Joinville. The Vauban was recently armed, and
was to remain attached to the squadron, which will
thus reckon five steam-frigates."

The Bank of France during the 29th and 30th ult.
issued bank notes of the value of 200 f. each to the
amount of 15,000,000 f. It proposes to issue similar
notes to the amount of 25,000,000 f.

The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage
of the Opera on Monday at 7.5 f. 92i.c. for the settle-
ment, and 761. 15c. for the end of the month (of
November).
