to them, not in a niggardly, but in a liberal and
equitable spirit.

A letter from Constantinople of the 30th ult. states
that the Austrian Internuncio had endeavoured to obtain
from the Divan its approval of the annexation of Cracow.
His Excellency had had several conferences with RE-
SCHID PACHA, and used arguments to make him com-
prehend that his Government would derive great advan-
tages from this annexation. RESCHID PACHA, however.
gave only vague replies. The English Ambassador,
Mr. WELLEfILEY, becoming informed of these confer-
ences, had an interview with the Grand Visier, and sub-
mitted to him the protest of Lord PALMERSTON. RE-
SCHID PACHA thereup.- n declared that he could not as-
sent to the annexation of Cracow, inasmuch as this
annexation was a violation of a treaty.

A letter from Rimini of Jan. 10 states that corn-riots
had taken place on several points of that district, but
that the arrival of Cardinal Gfzzt's circular, prohibit.
ing the exportation of corn and flour, had contributed to
restore order. Disturbances had also occurred in Tus-
cany. The Grand Ducal Government had put them
down by force, and maintained the liberty of exporta-
tion. Great misery prevails in Romania, but it is hoped
that the employment about to be given by the railways
wi!l in some measure relieve it. The different compa-
nies are to send in their plans on Feb. 7.

The Oriental p.nd Peninsular steam-ship Tiber, arrived
on Sunday evening at Southampton from the Peninsula.
Her dates of departure are as follows :—Gibraltar, Jan.
16; Cadiz, 17; Lisbon, 20; and Vigo, 21.
No collision between the QUEEN'S troops and the in-
surgents had taken place since the last accounts from
Lisbon. DAS ANTAS had made good his retreat to
Oporto, where he arrived on the 7th. at the head of
about 4,000 men. The total force of the garrison of
Oporto is now 11,000 men, exclusive of 2,000 recruits
raised in the provinces of Minho and Tras•os-111ontes.
SALDANISA, who has separated his army into two
divisions, is slowly advancing northward. The
slowness of his movements have enabled the
insurgents to fortify Oporto, so as to render it nearly
impregnable; as his whole force does not amount to
more than 7,000 men, it is thought that SALDANRA
will not venture to attack it, but will fall back upon
Coimbra, or some strong position, and await an attack
from the insurgents. The insurgents in Oporto seem
quite confident of success. The most active measures
have been adopted by the Junta, not only to defend the
city, but to commence offensive operations, when such
may become necessary, and they have plenty of money.
Count MENSDORIT, a cousin of Prince ALBERT, who
went out some months since to Lisbon, at the request of
her MAJESTY, has returned in the Tiber.

Madrid papers of the 16th and 17th have arrived.
The debate on the Address in the Senate still con
tinued.

MARTINEZ DE LA Rosa had positively refused to be
nominated to the Presidentship of the Chamber of De-
puties, and it was thought the Senor BRAVO MURILLO
would be the Government candidate.
At a meeting of Moderado Members, held on the 15th,
Senor PIDAL, the Minister of the Interior, protested
against this question of the Presidentship being made a
Ministerial question; but being opposed by Senor PA-
CHECO, the Minister retired with his friends. The 62
Deputies who remained then proceeded to ballot for a
candidate, and the numbers were for Senor CASTRO Y
Wow°, 20 ; Senor PacllEco, 5 ; Senor BRAVO MU-
RILLO, 5; and Senor ARTELA, 1.

The Heraldo states that the arrival of a Logate frow
Rome to the Court of Madrid is shortly expcted.
MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 16.—The Three per Cents
closed at 31 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 2G; the
Coupons at 184; and the Debt without Interest at 6/.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The debate on the Address closed in the Chamber of
Peers on Friday; the Address was carried by a majority
of 144 to 8. In the course of the debate on Thursday
M. GUIZOT read the following note, which lie said had
been delivered to him that morning only by the Russian
Charge d'Affaires:—
"I have just received your dispatch of the 19th instant, in
which you inform me of a question put to you by 2d. Guia,t,
on the subject of the presumed incorporation of the Grand
Duchy of Warsaw with the empire of Russia. I hasten to
reply to it, authorising you, by the express command of the
Emperor, to contradict those rumours in the most formal
manner.
" What may have given rise to this new idea, designedly
propagated by the Polish emigrants, always ready to mis-
construe the intentions of the Imperial Government, is the
announced project of the suppres,ion of the line of customs
which separates Russia from Poland. That measure, solicited
at different times by the population of the kingdom of r"land,
is for its advantage, because it offers for their produce an out-
let which they had not hitherto enjoyed.
"You are requested to make these explanations to tho
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to conform your
language accordingly to all persons who may exercise any
influence on the state of public opinion."
On this subject the Constitotionnel says—
" The dispatch of Count Nesselrode, which Mr. Gui.aot read
on Thursday in the Chamber of Peers, was concocted between
the French Ministry and the representative of Russia, and
sent to St. Petersburgh, where it received the approbation of
the Emperor, and whence it was returned in time for the de-
bate on the Address."
In the same paper we find the following observations
on the speech of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK in the House
of Commons, on Tuesday, on the conduct of the Northern
Powers :
" The Tory leader in the House of Commons is consistent.
The Absolute Powers are the natural allies of his party; the
policy of the Holy Alliance is its policy; the reverses of
France and her mifortunes are invoked by it to invite the
Powers who have just annihilated the nationality of Poland
to combine with Great Britain. The defeats of France have
been made the triumph of liberty! The destruction of Cracow
is the happiness of Poland; es;Y these are the real senti-
ments of the genuine Tories—of those who contend equally
against Russell the Liberal, and Peel the Reformer ! Such
are the allies, the warm friends, that our Ministry finds i❑
England ! Such is the direction in which they lean. The
Whigs in their eyes are blundercrs—dangerous people with
whom it is necessary to break. Sir R. Peel himself, in the
middle of the most lively effusions of the entente cordiale,
was frequently accused by our Ministerial journals of bor-
rowing too much from the reform policy of the Whigs. But
the true Conservatives, the real successors of Lord Castle-
reagh, the heirs of the authors of the Treaty of Vienna, the
natural allies of the Absolute Powers—these are the friends
and supporters of our Cabinet. This preference for the Tories,
and the antipathy it testifies to all the Liberals of England,
is quite sufficient to characterise its policy."
All the Parisian journals notice with satisfaction the
tone in which France was alluded to on Tuesday night
in both Houses of the British Parliament, as a proof
that the desire of England is to maintain, if possible, a
good understanding with France. The Constitutionnel
and the S its:de both declare that the conduct of M.
GUIZOT is without excuse ; that the declarations of Sir
ROBERT PEEL and of Lord JOHN RUSSELL that a Coburg
Prince was never put forward as a candidate for the
baud of the Queen of SPAIN by either of their Govern-
ments ; utterly takes away every pretext for concluding
the Montpensier marriage; and that if there has been a
rupture of the entente cordiale, the British Ministers are
entirely blameless.
Her Excellency the Marchioness of NORMANDY gave
on Friday evening a brilliant soiree dansante, at which
the chief rank and fashion of Paris were present. There
was a full attendance of the diplomatic circle. Amongst
the distinguished personages were noticed Marshal
ZiOULT, Count MOLE, and M. TRIERS.
The Chamber of Deputies have passed unanimously
the Bill for admitting corn and other kinds of grain at
the minimum duty fixed by the law of 15th April, 1832,
until the 31st of July next. Vessels leaving foreign
ports before that date were to be allowed to discharge
their cargoes, although they may not arrive in France
until after 31st July.
In the provinces the disturbances had been checked,
but only by the presence of a large military force. The
✓ournal des Ddbats says—
" That everywhere in the department of Indre these riots
offered the same character, and appeared to have been all
inspired by Communist ideas. The following was the plan
adopted by the promoters of the disturbances at Buzangais,
and followed in all the revolted districts :—Tbey imposed on
the mayors and landowners an obligation to sell their wheat,
until next harvest, at the rate of 3f. the double d&alitre
(15f. per hectolitre); to fix at If. 50c. the minimum of the
day's wages of labour, and to direct domiciliary searches to
be made to ascertain the quantity of grain in the possession
of each farmer. All the proprietors, whatever might be their
political convictions, were summoned to subscribe to those
conditions, and among the houses pillaged and the mills de-
stroyed were several belonging to Men known in the country
to profess the most Radical opinions."
At Chateauroux, the flying columns sent out by
General RIGNY has returned with many prisoners. The
murderers of M. Cita:nu:ea have been arrested. In
the meanwhile, the cause of these disturbances still sub
Lists in full force.

A letter from Nantes, published in the Journal des
Debdts, says— •

"The situation of our corn market has become sensibly
worse during the present week. Wheat has been sold at
35 francs the hectolitre of 156 pounds weight, and flour of
the first quality 100 francs the sack. This rise has caused
much excitement, and the Preftct had dispatched two com-
panies of infantry to Juigne, where some disturbances had
arisen."

And the National de 1' °nest states. that the distress is

so great in the neighbourhood c.f Roseoff, in c ace
of the high price of proviions, that there are several
families who do u.ot eat bread once in four days, and

whose principal ,fiod is composed:of cabbage or turnips

stolen in the fields.

To add'to the gravity of. the 'situation, Cho Government
Lave received inErmation from a colonel of National

Guards stationed ii the neighbourhood of Tours " that
the feeling was spreading among the
_population that

the high price of grain was owing to the solfishneem of

the proprietors, who were holding it over, speculating
upon advanced prices. Should this conviction b•ad to
outbreaks, it was his opinion that the National Guards
would nut act, and all would depend upon the steadiness
of the soldiery."

There was a sort of &acute at Perigueux on the 17th,
et the funeral of M. FEYTAUD, the senior member of the
bar. M. FEYTAUD had been originally a pritst, and
during the revolution he had taken the oath of alle-
giance to the civil constitution of the French clergy.
Tui:, oath he had refused to retract, and the bishop de-
clared that in consequence of such refusal the body
should be deprived of the rights of sepulture.
"The authorities," says the Conservateur de la Dordogne.
however, on their side resolved that such determination of
the Bishop should be broken through, and on Sunday, the
17th, when a priest was about to close the door of the cathe-
dral in order to prevent the body of the deceased from pass-
ing, p lice agents who had been posted near prevented him.
A body of infantry was soon placed in front of the sacred
edifice. whilst another was sent to protect the Bishop's palace
m case of need. The crowd soon entirely filled the cathedral,
and at one o'clock the funeral procession made its appear-
ance, with the commissary of police and mayor at its head.
A baker, named Blondeau, formerly employed as singer in the
cathedral, chanted the Miserere. A number of the memhers
of the Perigueux bar were present in their robes. The body
was placed before the altar, which was entirely naked of its
ornaments and symbols of worship. and the above person
chanted the burial service. After this was finished, the
crowd peaceably retired, though not without expressing their
indignation."

Ii is annonnced that 150 vessels laden with grain have
arrived at Marseilles.

As the formidable list of favourites given underneath is
calculated to encourage a belief that the betting was heavy,
we should state that out of the two dozen enumerated, only
four or five were really in force ; in the aggregate, business
was not by any means brisk. The star of the day was the
winner of the Oaks last year—Mendicant—who, from 60 to 1
laid to a trifle in the early part of the afternoon, rose finally to
20 to 1, and a very numerous party. Camera Obscura was
also backed for a good deal of money, the price 25 to 1, and
the layers not quite tired The Flitch was frequently in-
quired after, and, in consequence, advanced several points
upon a moderate outlay. Punch, The Lamb, and Bedlam,
were also in demand, were backed in several quarters, and
were promoted accordingly. As we have before observed,
the bets against the other horses was in small sums. The
closing prices were as undar :-
