Madrid Journals of the 19th speak with confi-
dence of the triumph of the Exaltados at the elec-
tions in that capital. In the province of Saragossa
the Ministcrialists have all been beaten. There is
no news from the theatre of war.

The Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday have
all reached us. The subject which principally oc-
cupies them is the proposed marriage of the Duke
of NEMOURS, second son of the King of the
FRENCH, with the eldest daughter of Prince FER-
DINAND Of Saxe Coburg Gotha, olFicially an-
nounced to the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday
by the President of the Council, Marshal SouLT.
The way in which the announcement was commu-
nicated and received will be best understood by
quoting the speech of the illustrious Marshal, and
the only notice take❑ of it by the Chamber, as re-
ported
in the French Journals of Sunday :
" I am commissioned to announce to the Chamber an
event which deeply interests the national prosperity and
the security of our alliances.
" Negociations are now definitely concluded for the mar-
riage of his Royal Highness Monseigneur the Duke' of
Nemours with Madame Victoire Auguste Antoinette;
eldest daughter of the Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg
Gotha.—(Loud laughter from all -sides of the Chamber.)
" The Princess is niece of the King of the BeWails
and of the Duchess of Kent, and by this alliance his Royal
Highness the Duke of Nemours will become the brother-
in-law of the Queen of England.
" This alliance offers great advantages, and guarantees
the maintenance of general peace, which is worthy of our
consideration."

Marshal Soult film presented to the Chamber a project
of law for ensuring to the Duke of Nemours an annual
dowry of 500,000 francs (20,0001.), in order to provide for
him an establi,:hment equal to his rank and dignity. lie
also proposed that the Chamber should grant a supple..
mentary credit of 500,000 francs (20,0001.), in order that
the marriage might be celebrated with- all due pomp and
ceremony.
NI. Sr "." -tuber. then suggested

Jauzet, President of the Cha.. - --e,
aat a deputation should wait upon the King to congratu-
,ate him on the marriage of his son. This announcement
was not responded to by any Deputy present.
The outcry raised by the Opposition Journals
against the proposed grant to the Duke de
NEMOURS is terrible. Even the most moderate
in their general tone, such as the Courier Francais
remarks upon the shamelessness of the Court in
demanding an annual dolation of 500,000 francs,
and 500;000 francs pin-money for a Royal Duke,
at a time when there appears a deficit in the reve-
nue to the amount of from seventy to eighty mil-

lions of francs. When the disasters in Algiers
calls for new sacrifices,—when all manufacturing
industry is paralyzed, and when 62,000 persons
are inscribed on the lists of the indigent in the
city of Paris alone. The immense private fortune
of the KING, which be, of all the Kings of France,
alone retained after his accession to the Crown,
affords a handle for very severe strictures. With
an annual income of better than a million sterling,
the King of the FRENCH is surely rich enough to
provide for his own children without the beggarly
expedient of applying to the nation.
The following telegraphic despatch is the only
news from Africa :
ALGiErss, JAN. IS, 4 O'CLOCK P M.

" No event has taken place in the province of Algiers.
The hostile Arabs have not reappeared in the plain since
the 31st of December.

" The boats from Bona and Oran have not arrived."

On Friday the office of the Capitole newspaper
was searched by the police, and the ledger inspected
with a view to discover if Russia supplied the funds
for carrying on that Journal.
NEWS FROM Rossin.—We have the following letter
from St. Petersburgh, of 12th January :
" I have to state a fact, which, though of no great impor-
tance in itself, reveals the secret wishes of Emperor Nicho-
las. On Monday, the 7th of this month, the anniversary
of the evacuation of Russia by the French troops, was
celebrated as usual. Count Ezernitschoff, the .11iiiist(:r of
War had contrived an agreeable surprise for the Em-
peror at the grand parade. At noon he Paused four
detachments to defile before the Czar, composed of vete-
rans wearing different medals: the first detachment,
the medal for the taking of Paris ; the second,
that for the campaign in Persia ; the third, for the last
war against Turkey; the fourth,for the victory over Polish
insurgents in 1831. _ _ _

" the Emperor having reviewed these troops, turned to
the Generals who accompanied him, and said, ' Gentle-
men,--I feel a lively pleasure at seeing these brave sol-
diers together, but I should like to see two other similar
detachments, one representing the progress of my arms in
Asia, the other the destruction of French ideas (we know
that this is the appellation given by the Autocrat to liberal
and constitutional ideas) in the 'West.' Lieutenant-
General the Count Steymaren, Chief of the Staff of the
Infantry of the Guard, one of the boldest flatterers of the
Czar, immediately replied, " Sire,--Your Majesty has but
to command, and no French ideas will exist in the West,
and no Englishman's in the East."
All those who were present evpected a reply from
Nicholas, blaming expressions so out of place, in a public
and official ceremony ; but the Autocrat, far from finding
fault, with a gracious smile, saying, " I thank you, Gene-
ral, for the high opinion you entertain of my power ; with
the aid of God, notoing is impossible." He then ordered
one of hisAid-de- Camps to fetch tne inslDmatin diamonds)
of the Order of St. Wladimir, of the second class, and
fastened them with his own hands to the General's breast."
