shall be treated at Buenos Ayres the same as the most
favoured nation."

The National has a severe attack upon the pro-
motion of the Duke of NEMOURS to his present
high rank in the army. The Debats ably criticizes
the PRESIDENT'S Message, which appears in the
Friday's impression of that journal.
The following extract from a letter dated Cologne
the 2d inst., is from the Univers of Friday :
" The President of the province of Westphalia,
Baron de Vinke, having demanded of the Archbishop
of Cologne, in the name of the King of Prussia, if he
would be disposed to resign his see and retire to Rome,
should the Government obtain for him a Cardinal's hat,
and pay him during life a pension of 20,000 thalers per
annum, the Prelate replied, that he was ready to obey
the orders of the Holy Father, and would from that mo-
ment implicitly abide by his decision. It was after re-
ceiving this answer that the King of Prussia sent off
M. de Bruhl to Rome."

What no Royal menaces could effect is likely to
be done readily enough by a Cardinal's hat and a
pension. Had this means of silencing this trouble-
some Prelate been first adopted, there would have
been no necessity for any squabbling between
Prussia and the Holy Sec.

The baptism of the Count of PARIS is fixed
for the Ist of May.

The Seine was rising rapidly on Friday, and
fears were entertained that Paris would be inun-
dated. Such a calamity would be productive of
frightful suffering among the poor.

Since our Evening publication we have received
the Paris Journals of Satutday. The weather had
impeded the communication in France as well as in
England, and the mails from London, Havre,
Bordeaux, and Marseilles had not come to hand.
Some alarm was felt at Yetis from the rising of the
Seine, which had flowed over into the Champ de
Mars. The Debats says that apprehensions were
entertained that the waters would rise still higher.
The Commerce asserts that they began to subside
about mid-day on Friday.
The political news contained in these Journals is
of little importance. All the Morning Papers of
Saturday published a telegraphic dispatch, dated
Strasbourg, the 14th, announcing that a serious
contest had taken place at Argau, in Switzerland,
between the Catholics and Protestants, upon the
occasion of revising the Constitution, the revision
having been rejected. The Commerce, however,
affirms that the despatch is inaccurate, and that the
inadmissible pretensions of the Catholics caused
the civil war.

The Constitutionnel contains a long letter on
the Rhenish provinces, the object of which is to
keep up the irritation of the French, and insist on
the necessity of France assuming the energetic atti-
tude she had taken up under the late Cabinet. The
proclamation of peace always, and peace every-
where, is said to have caused a complete change
in Germany, and made both the people and Princes
eager for war.
The National contains extracts from the German
Papers, under the head of " Continuation of the
Arming Abroad," which also tend to keep alive
alarm, and excite the national animosity of the French.
The garrisons of Warsaw and New Georgiewsk
have been completed. The Bavarian army is to be
put on its complete war footing by the month of
March. More than 150,000 men will at that period
be collected in the Rhenish provinces. All these
Papers, at the same time, contain the Speech of
the Grand Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT, on
closing the Session of the States, in which
he says that he is convinced that peace will
be maintained. He asserts that every European
Sovereign now on the throne wishes for peace. He
expresses great regret at the possibility that Isis
efforts to increase the prosperity of the country
should be disturbed by military preparations, and
he relies on the support of his people, should sacri-
fices be required for the security and honour of
Germany.
The Debats has a long and able article on the
Report of M. TRIERS on the Paris fortifications,
and that journal does not approve of the Report.
The Debats is alarmed, lest the fortifications should
drive the opulent classes and commerce from the
city, and leave the poor without employment and
without food. It is not yet too late for the French
to awaken to a true sense of the folly of fortifying
such a city as Paris, and the ridicule which the
Debats throws on those patriots " who express
alarm at the movement of every Prussian regiment,
and who will in the end snake all Europe believe
that fear is universal in France," may help to at-
tain so desirable as) object.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ALSAGER, M.P.--We regret
exceedingly to state, that Captain Alsager, M.P., for
the Eastern Division of the county of Surrey, expired
this morning, after a tedious illness.—Standard.
GENERAL ANNUITY ENDOWMENT ASSOCIATION.—
We have before us a copy of the letter lately addressed
by Mr. Heigham Rogers to the Directors of the Gene-
ral Annuity Endowment Association, relative to the
accounts of the Association and calculation of the an-
nuities, the publication of which is announced in another
part of our paper of this day. Considering the very fre-
quent losses and disappointments sustained by many indi-
viduals, who have been induced to form themselves into
companies, and which losses and disappointments have
been found to arise from the mismanagement of those
who take upon themselves the office of Directors, we
feel it our duty to call the attention of the public to the
very clear statements and calculations which this letter
contains, particularly the attention of the subscribers,
their nominees, and the annuitants belonging to the As-
sociation, as well as of all others who are disposed to
become members of it.
