-Cussion on the budjet des depenses terminated this day, and
they are at this moment proceeding to the division on the
whole bill. The funds continue depressed, in the absence of
any information respecting the new loan.
MAnatn, JUNE 11.—In consequence of despatches received
last night from Paris, a Council of Ministers WPS held. It is
said they contain the conditions upon which Queen Christina
consents to relinquish the guardianship of her children, but
which the Government does not feel justified in accepting.
It is thought the question will be brought before the Cortes
about the 15th.

The Minister of Finance was much engaged with the pressing
claim mad? by the British Ambassador for the 5,000,000 reals
due to the Legion. Very little doing at the Bourse; not a
bargain for cash, but 264 to 27/ at various dates.
At Barcelona on the 11th the most perfect tranquillity pre-
vailed. The municipality had addressed a suitable proclama-
tion to the working classes.
CANDIA, JUNE 4.—Letters of the Ist and 4th announce that
the Candians had experienced a serious reverse, and that in
consequence the roost influential chiefs amongst the emigrants
in the-island had addressed to the British and French Consuls a
request for an interview with Tahir Pacha and Mustapha
Pacha, on hoard either of the fleets, for the purpose of coming
to an understanding. The Consuls applied in vain fur this in-
terview ; but yiehiing to their solicitations, they obtained per-
mission to leave the island by the ships of those Powers.
The emigrants ask for a delay of 10 days to deliberate, but
which the Turkish commanders refused. Such was the state
of things on the 4th. It was thought this wretched state of
affairs was drawing to a close. The little activity displayed by
the Turks in their preparations for attack would gain for them
the 10 days asked for.
Accounts from Constantinople, dated the 27th ult., state that
the hatti-seheriff would be forwarded to Alexandria on the
31st of May.
The Paris Journals of Thursday contain no
news of any interest to an English reader. The
Constitutionnel contends that the British Go-
vernment having failed by diplomacy to cause
the Spanish Ministry to conclude a commercial
Treaty with this country, now tries the effect
of smu;•gling upon a large scale. This is a
falsehood so notorious that it would be a waste of
words to refute it in more than a sentence. The British
Government is no more responsible for the conduct of
our merchants, than is the President of the French
Council. It is not to be supposed indeed that the Bri-
tish Government will take any very active part in tie
suppree•:uon of a contraband trade on the coasts of Spain,
which, if successful, must open an extensive market to
English merchandise, and it is not improbable that more
is expected from this annoyance to the Spanish Govern-
ment towards bringing about a commercial Treaty,
than from any attempt to convince the rulers of
Spain that it would gain more by such a Treaty
than from a system of prohibition and exclusion, which
the Constitutionnel admits to be imperfect, inasmuch
as the accomplices of the smugglers are the very persons
whose office it is to drive them away. The Constitu-
tionnel, fits from approving of the prohibitive and re-
strictive systems in Spain as a general principle, com-
plains of it as an offence against Europe at large, and
calls upon the Regent for a modification of the tariff on
all things, excepting, of course, British goods, for these,
says the Constitutionnel, come in direct competition with
the manufactures of Spain. Our Contemporary forgets
that, in the present state of Spain, the extension of in-
dustry is a very doubtful thing, for it is only in coun-
tries where there is perfect protection for capital and
manufacturing. enterprise, that the one is invested
and the other developed. Until the pacifica-
tion of Spain shall be complete, and confidence in
the honesty and stability of its government be estab-
lished all the prohibitive tariffs that the Cortes can enact,
and all the coast-guard that can be raised, even suppos-
ing it to be as faithful in the performance of its duties as
it is the reverse, will not suffice to prevent smuggling,
and every attempt to foster native industry will be vain.
It is a mistake also to suppose that Spain can ever be
made a manufacturing country, to such an extent as to
render it prudent to exclude the manufactures of other
States. Her wealth is in her soil, by the proper culti-
vation of which she may carry on an extensive ex-
change. The Constitutionnel mentions as one of the ob-
jectionable items of the Spanish tariffs the enormous
duty on French books, which are the only foreign books,
it says, read in Spain. This sympathy for the book
trade in France is very natural ; but if English books
were the only foreign works read in Spain, would not
the argument against the prohibitive duty on them be
just as strong ; and if it happens that English hardware
and cotton goods enjoy as exclusive a preference among
Spaniards as French books, may not the English com-
plain as justly of their exclusion, as the Constitutionnel
does of the exclusion of French books? _ . .

The Commerce says :—" It is confirmed that the Austrian
Government has contracted a loan of five per cent., and it is
said to be at par. The holders of French five per cents made
large sales yesterday in order to buy into the new stock."
The Gazette de France of this evening asks some questions
of the Government, to which probably no answ(r will be
given. The facts which that paper mentions strike the eyes
of everybody, but it states them precisely, and on that account
it cannot but be useful to repeat the article.
" All the troops which are in the first military division, ca-
valry, infantry, and artillery, are constituted and organised as a
corps d'arme, with a staff, paid as in times of war, as it would
he on the frontier in the presence of the enemy.
"'There are 70,600 men of all arms, a park of 42 field pieces,
forming 7 batteries in the advance of Versailles, besides the
100 pieces of cannon at Vincennes, and those of the military
school.
" There is a Staff composed of a General-in-Chief (General
Schneider) with Generals of divisions and Brigadier-Generals
under him, for the cavalry and infantry, to say nothing of the
swarm of officers of every grade attached to the extraordinary
service.
" On what pretext has this organisation been made when
there is at Paris a General to command the military division,
besides a General of division instead of a Major-General to
command the department of the Seine, when in all the chief
towns of the adjacent departments there are Major-Generals to
command the troops, and to superintend the military police?
"Since 1789 there has never been round Paris an army orga-
nized on the war establishment, independently of the Corn-
man'ler, in all the departments.
" How does it happen that so enormous a fact has not been
pointed out in the Chambers, when the expenses resulting from
it make it necessary to burden the people to a degree which
calls forth protests in all parts of France against demands for
money, because the people are unable to satisfy them?
" In England, when a Judge goes to a county to hold the
assizes all the troops are withdrawn to a distance of 36 miles,
that the law may be unimpeded in its course. At London
there are never more than two regiments as the Queen's
guards, and at Paris, the seat of th Parliamentary Govern-
ment and discussions, there are 70,000 men, organised on the
war establishment."—Le Commerce.
