of VALENCIA left in high dudgeon before the arrival
of the QUEEN. SERRANO and SALAMANCA, who were
in the adjoining box, enjoyed the scene amazingly.
General ALAIX had arrived, and had accepted tha
appointment of Captain-General of Madrid. GOYENA
will be the President of the Council.

The Espanol says that SALAMANCA has resolved to
proceed gradually with sweeping financial reforms,
and that one of his first measures was to be the
abolition of the salt and tobacco monopolies. The
same journal states that the new Cabinet has deter-
mined not to convoke the Cortes until the latest
period allowed by law, ar.d then immediately to
dissolve them.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The progress of ABD-EL-KADER in Morocco is
evidently creating considerable alarm in France.
The following, from the Constitutionnel, may be
considered as giving the views of the generality of
the Paris press on this subject. " The taking of
Taza," says the Constitutionnel, " warrants a fear
that ABD-BL-KADER will not be long in becoming
master of the whole of Morocco. The town is situ-
ated at the southern extremity of one of the little
chains of the Rif. Since ABD-EL-KADER has been
able to advance and take possession of that position, it
can hardly be believed that he will encounter serious
obstacles up to Fez, the religious city of the empire,
which contains ABDEBRAIIMAN'S treasures. It is
probable that ABD-LL-KADER will behold the popula-
tion of the country take part in his favour, that the
troops of the EstrEnoß will not dare to resist, but
will fly before him. ABD-EL-KADER was most im-
prudently left to form new forces, and he employs
them to destroy the EMPEROR, whose power
we pretended to secure by treating it with
caution and consideration. What will our
Government now do ? Will it intervene ?
Will it leave events to take their course?
There is almost equal danger in both courses. In-
tervention, under present circumstances, offers much
more serious difficulties than it did at the time of
our triumphs. Instead of an enemy in flight with
neither army nor credit, we find a powerful chief,
almost master of a vast empire, and whose popularity
will increase still more from the day on which we
might enter the territory of Morocco. That entry
would be--we must not conceal the fact—a difficult
and expensive war, the end of which cannot be fore-
seen, and which would be the more onerous from our
finances now being in so sad a state. Let us add,
that in order to intervene efficiently in Morocco, we
should have need of the co-operation of Spain.
Now, could we ask that country in the present
situation of our political relations to open the
port of Melila to our troops and stores ? has
the Ministry a perfect confidence as to the recep-
tion which such a proposition would receive? Next,
would England, on her part, willingly see a French
army enter Morocco ? Would she not oppose such a
proceeding, either directly or indirectly ? Would
she not seize that occasion to take vengeance for the
Spanish marriages ? And yet, if no intervention
take place, what will become of our African pos-
sessions? If ABD-EL-KADER should once become
master of the whole of Morocco, or of the greatest
part of the empire, will our possessions be henceforth
free from his excursions, and if some trouble should
arise in the relations of European States should we
not have the most dangerous of neighbours for
Algeria ? Our Cabinet has conducted affairs in such
a manner, both abroad and at home, that everything
is for us obstacle and peril. To act or not to act
exposes us to similar embarrassments; and at the
present moment we want money as well as alliances.
After having, during seven years, directed all our
affairs according to the hypothesis of an eternal
friendship with Great Britain, all was suddenly
broken off by proceedings little honourable; and a
policy of hostility and struggle was then commenced
without energy and without cause. Our readers see
the results everywhere."
The National takes the opportunity of protesting
against the appointment of the Due D'AtiMALE to the
Governor-Generalship of Algeria, an appointment
which, strange to say, is approved of by the &tide:—

" Suppose," observes the National, "a General at the
age of the Prince should have the pretension to govern
Algeria, the Ministers would treat him with all the
disdain which ridiculous ambition could excite; and
because this young General is called the son of the
K ing the choice is considered proper l What a pity
that the English never thought of entrusting the go-
vernment of Ireland to the Duke of Sussex, or still
better, to the young Prince of Cambridge. Our
neighbours, however, are sufficiently aristocratic and
liberal to pay a donation to each member of the Royal
Family. But by a perversity of understanding they
take care that the political position of their Princes
shall be gull, arid nobody has ever thought
of translating that term, as the Siècle has done,
by the word despised. The Government grants
them titles, money, and an honourable posi-
tion, but they are forbidden absolutely to
interfere with the government or with the administra-
tion of affairs. The English evidently understand
nothing with respect to the representative system.
We, on the contrary, possess a King who takes a most
active part in the Legislature, who possesses the entire
Executive power, who disposes of an administrative
centralisation of which the net covers the entire ter-
ritory, who exercises an infinite influence by his for-
tune, by the budget, and by the civil list. Well,
even that is not sufficient ; his sons must have a
direct and supreme action over the administration of
affairs. And as there remains an entire country to
govern and to organize, one of his children is charged
with that duty ! But the Siècle finds nothing to say
against such an arrangement, and still it grieves to
find that we have courtier Ministers I That is truly
acting the part of Brutus too much to the life ! That
journal might, however, be dynastic with a little
more moderation without exciting the displeasure of
its own party !"
In the National of Saturday we find an exceed
ingly well written and admirably argued article on
the affairs of Spain. After expressing his disbelief
of the atrocious calumnies which have been circu-
lated on the subject of Queen ISABELLA by her un-
natural uncle, and still more unnatural and most
depraved mother, the writer condemns the prohibition
to discuss the Palace question as impolitic. He justly
remarks :

" Unfortunately this precaution comes rather late,
and we doubt whether it can be of service to those
who recommend it. In a free country the eye of
publicity ought to pierce wherever the Government is
to be found. You surrender all that you conceal to
the serpent tongue. You believe that you may rest
tranquil because you have closed the doors of the
press, but slander and calumny have entered, and that
which one has seen is exaggerated, another invents,
and the poison is distilled. The most innocent ap-
pearances are tortured into the most odious realities,
and a love of retirement and solitude is explained by
a necessity for dissimulation. How many are the
secret intrigues which an infernal policy may bring
into play ? The most skilful regard the future pros-
pect as obscure. The Spanish Ministers, in place of
commanding the journals to, be silent, ought to have
grappled with the calumny.
The writer having given the new Spanish Mi-
nistry honour due for the publication of " the most
complete amnesty of which any Government has yet
given the example," thus proceeds :
" We have been informed that a decree, to be
shortly published, will establish the national militia,
which had been extinguished by a counter-revolu-
tionary reaction. The first sentiment of a nation en-
lightened by liberty is to arm itself for the defence
of its conquest at home and for the security of its in-
dependence abroad. Thus the infallible sign of an
unpopular Government is the destruction of a civic
guard wherever it exists, and when the Government
dares not disband it disorganizes them. A society
which governs itself directs public affairs by delibe-
rating and elective bodies—affairs of justice through
the jury, and the defence of its rights and its security
through the National Guard. Those are the
three great reforms at present demanded by
Italy. Those were the three great priviliges
which Christina inspired by our system hast-
ened to dissolve and to enfeeble in Spain.
The contrary movement, which is announced at
present, must restore them. Such is the duty of
every sincere Government; but for the Cabinet of
Madrid it is, moreover, a necessity. Surrounded as
it is by the party which during four years placed all
its creatures in high offices, which drilled a portion of
the army to commit the violence of the Prsetorian
Guard, which still holds the provinces by its captains-
general and its political chiefs, it is necessary that it
should seek for support amongst the people. We are
well aware that certain parties will consider that
they can give a sufficient answer to all we have
written by exclaiming, they are about to restore the
Progressistas—that is, the English party—to power.
But that is precisely the irrecoverable condemnation

of the detestable policy of the system. Let us exa-
mine what they dare to avow before Europe. Here I
is a Ministry which pardons all past offences, and
which opens the gates of the country to all exiles
without exception—it is tha English party. This
Ministry wishes to re-establish trial by jury—it is the
English party. It is desirous of re-organizing the national
militia—it is the English party. It wishes to recom-
pense ancient but unrequited services, to utilitise the
national property for the public advantage—to estab-
lish the system of taxation on a reasonable basis—to
give an impulse to manufactures, and to govern, in
fine, on constitutional principles. It is the English
party—the English party ! It was consequently the
French party which willed and which accomplished
the contrary ! And why ? How has the name of
France become associated with a band of violent
partisans of the retrograde system, who, after having
possessed themselves of the Government by a stra-
tagem, maintained themselves in power solely by in-
trigue and violence—with that band which effaced
from the constitution the dogma of the national
sovereignty, dislocated the municipal councils, dis-
solved the National Guard, suppressed trial by
jury—with that band which governed by mul-
tiplying proscriptions, by shedding blood, by organis-
ing arbitrary measures ? Are these French ideas?
Does our country sympathise with those
gamblers on the Stock Exchange—with those
plunderers of the public treasury—with those great
Ministers who boasted of having nobly governed be-
cause they caused their opponents to be shot without
mercy ? What is your miserable party in Spain ?
You may judge of it by your friends and allies in
Switzerland or in Italy, whenever the people contend
for the establishment of their nationality. It is the
party of a factious minority in Switzerland—it is the
Austrian party in Italy. And because the policy of
M. Guizot affords aid to all those who publicly or
secretly contend against the aspirations of the people,
our nation is compelled to follow in his track, and to
accept his hatred or his sympathy, and that she
should suffer herself to be identified by a foreign
Ministry with a Government unworthy of it. We
said and repeated this a thousand times, when speak-
ing of Spain. There, more than elsewhere, the bonds
of union with the Peninsula are easy and natural,
but they have been broken in order to promote a
family interest. The Progressistas by their ideas and
their principles belong essentially to that modern
France which derives its name and its force from our
two revolutions. It is because they are directly in
the road that our blockhead system has stumbled
against them. How could it see a fair system
flourish beyond the Pyrenees ? It was impossible
that it should not have used every effort to sow dis-
order, to take the renegades under its protection, to
enrol Christina as a model of virtue, and Narvaez as
an angel of constitutional mildness. It was necessary
to efface the last vestige of liberty, to prepare those
famous marriages, and cause it to be believed that
Spain joyfully consented.
The Union Monarchique says " An officer, for-
merly holding a high position in the army of
NARYAEZ, arrived at Malmaison on Thursday, with
private dispatches for Queen CHRISTINA. Immedi-
ately after this officer went with her to St. Cloud,
where Genaral Cult' and M. ZEA BERMUDEZ were
invited to attend."

In the same paper we find the following :

" It has been rumoured for some days that a sort
of solution has been given to the Spanish question, by,
means of a modification of the existing law of succes-
sion to the throne of Spain, which is contrary to the
monarchical principle. We have obtained on the sub-
ject the following information, which we regard as
accurate :

" The men in the confidence of Queen Isabella are
positively agreed with Lord Palmerston respecting
the question of succession. Diplomatic negotia-
tions have been entered into for that object
between the Cabinet of London and the inti-
mate advisers of the Court of Madrid. Lord
Palmerston demonstrated that the abolition of
the Salic law in Spain was calculated to compro-
mise at present, as well as in future, the peace of
Europe, and that it was most desirable that the pre-
sent law of succession be constitutionally modified, so
as to replace the crown of Spain under the empire of
the Salic law. Those overtures were favourably re-
ceived at Madrid, and it has been decided that the
Cortes about to assemble should be immediately
called upon to regulate the question of the succes-
sion. It will be stated in the new law that, if Queen
Isabella shall die without male issue, the crown shall
devolve upon her uncle Don Francisco de Paula, or
on his descendants in the male line, to the exclusion
of his daughters, which would constitute a return
to the Salic law. Matters having been so far settled,
a semi-confidential overture was made to the Duke
de Broglie. The latter replied that if those modi-
fications were regularly introduced into the law
by the public powers, his Government would not
object to them, but he observed that, at the time of
the abolition of the Salic law by King Ferdinand the
Seventh, the Duke of Orleans, as chief of the younger
branch of the House of France, had thought proper
to protest and reserve the contingent rights of his
family, and that in all probability the Duchess de
Montpensier would do the same. The reply to that
objection of the Duke de Broglie was, that such a
demonstration would be considered as altogether in-
applicable and unavailable.
" The above facts were partly the cause of the
Duke's sudden arrival in Paris, and they have since
been the constant subject of deliberation at St. Cloud
and in the residence of Queen Christina. We can
add, that the departure of Narvaea for Spain was
connected with that affair, and that he had been in-
structed to combat these projects and elude their con-
sequences."
An accident, which might have been attended with
serious consequences to the Duke DE NEMOURS, oc-
curred on Friday, at Compeigne. The Duke was
out shooting with his brother, the Prince DE JOIN.
VILLE, and the Prince, in aiming at a covey of game,
hit the Duke DE NEMOURS in the head. His hat was
riddled with shot, and he received the whole charge
among his hair. One grain of shot struck him in the
face near the eye, and penetrated the flesh.
The Count DE SEGUE has been dispatched on a
special mission to Prussia.
M. GARNIEIt DE CASSAGNA C, late editor of the
Epoque, the man who was stigmatized by a Judge
from the bench, on the late trial of D'ECQUEVILLT,
as unworthy of credit—the man who attempted in
that trial to bully one of the witnesses into a sup-
pression of the truth—the coadjutor and friend of DE
BEAUVALLON and D'ECQUEVILLY—the man who was
accused from the tribune by M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN
of having undertaken to procure the passing of a law
through the Chambers for a heavy bribe—the noto-
rious GAUNTER DE CASSAGNAC has, it is said been dis-
patched by the Government on a secret mission to Italy.
We can scarcely believe that even M. GuizoT would
venture to offer such an insult to the public feeling of
France ; if the appointment has taken place, we can
guess at the nature of the mission from the character
of the agent.

DEATH or HER ►SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCESS
HOHENZOLLERN-11ECRINGEN.—We have to record the
decease of the reigning Princess Eugenie of Hohenzol-
lern-Hechingen, who died on the let instant at Frenden-
stadt, the capital of the principality. Her Serene Lligh-
ness was second daughter of the late Duke of Leuchten-
berg, and was born on the 23d of December, 1808, and
married the Prince Frederick of Hohenzollern-Hech-
ingen on the.22d of May, 1826, by whom she leaves no
issue.

Viscountess Palmerston, who came to town on
Thursday from visiting Lord and Lady Ashley at Ryde,
Isle of Wight, left town on Saturday for Brocket-hall,
Herts, to join the circle visiting Viscount Melbourne.
Lord and Lady Boauvale have arrived at Brocket
from Derbyshire. Viscount Palmerston is expected to
arrive at the family residence on Monday next from
Scotland.

The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and the
Ladies Somerset have arrived at Aix-la-Chapelle, and
his Grace and family purpose a protracted residence
abroad.

THE DUKE or BEAUFORT'S HOUNDS.—We regret
to learn that this establishment is to be given up, at any
rate for this season, in consequence of his Grace being
about to go abroad. The hunters uro announced for
sale at Tattersall's on the 20th.—Bath Jour►ral.
A WOODEN-LEGGED DANCER.—At Portobello-
gardens, Mr. Falluhee, an old soldier with a wooden leg,
made his first appearance as a dancer on Wednesday
evening. The veteran, who has been in nineteen general
engagements, lost his left leg in the defence of his
country when serving in the 40th regiment. His extra-
ordinary performance brought forth rapturous applause,
and by request he performs again before Prince George
of Cambridge.—Galway Vindicator.
