igThe whole of the Paris Journals, of' Sunday,
I_l..ave been received,
LI the 13th inst. together with Madrid Papers
The news brought by the Spa,

nish Papers has, for the most part, been antici-
pated. Cabrera finding that the world was be-
ginning to forget him, has issued a proclamation
to his late companions in arms, which will be
found in another column.

The affair of the Didier correspondence con-
tinues to attract the attention of all the leading
Journals. It is a pity that the Government can-
not see the mischief which it does the King by
stooping to notice every petty libeller of his Ma-

j esty.
Important news from Candia appears in the
Courrier Francais of Sunday, which we have
transferred to our columns of this day.
The following is the protest of the Municipal Council of
Caen; against the proposed surcharge on the door and window
tax, the opposition to which tax is now occasioning so much
embarrassment to the French Minister of Fl nan ce _

" Monsieur le Prefet,—The census of the doors and win-
doWs, &c., now in progress, spreads uneasiness throughout the
population. The legality of the mote attempted to carry it
into operation at Caen is evil doubtful. A Ministerial order
commands the census to lie made in a form different from that
which has hitherto been followed. The result of these two
operations is most interesting to this city, because they may
furnish a false basis for the establishment and receipt of various
taxes.

" On the demand of several Members of the municipal body,
the Mayor demanded permission to call together the council of
the said body, which permission you granted by letter of the
10th instant. The meeting was to be held on the following
day, but,in consequence of reasons for which we cannot at pre-
sent Lind any explanation, you thought proper to withdraw the
permission alluded to.
" Under these grave circumstances the undersigned Members
of the Municipal Council of the city of Caen demand from you,
M. le Prefet, a license for the convocation of an extraordinary
meeting of the Council, in order that it may, after full investi-
gation and mature inquiry, address to the superior authority
such declarations as the measure now under consideration re-
quire.
" Signed by several Members of the Municipality of Caen."
The same nature of protest has been signed in several other
towns of the west of France.

The subjoined observation respecting the financial position of
111. Humann are taken from the Temps :
" Yesterday, at M. Humana's, a great deal of conversation
took place relative to the loan to M. Rothschild and other
potentates of the bank. The fall of Rentes the preceding day
and the rise in the same evening were explained. One said
that the sales had been caused by the necessity which M.
Rothschild felt of being provided with ample means for all
exigences. M. Rothschild had given orders for large .sales
but he could not find buyers, for M. Agrado, M. Goubart,
and others had left town ; so therefore he gave orders to
stop the offer of sale, and the rice has taken place as a
matter of course. The whole affair is now between M. Roths-
child and M. Humann, and it seems there is a difference of
opinion between the Jew banker and the Minister of the Most
Christian King. M. Rothschild wishes to have the loan at a
low price—that is his game-_be is a money dealer. M. Hu-
mann demands a much hir,-ilier figure ; that is all very natural
in a Minister of Finance, 111. Rothschild wants to have a loan
made at five per cent, M. Humana speaks only of three per
cent. M. Rothsclaild desires the whole loan to be contracted
Huma:an says a part is only wanted.
" This sf-Jiggle between the Minister and the banker is
good, bct awe it errates oppoiition; and it is said that Messrs.
Delessar t Ind Hottinge are competitors for the loan. This is
a piece of good news, fo • if these gentlemen are serious in their
offers, Al. Rothschild will not have tha loan on his own terms."
Besides the intelligence from Candia brought by the Acheron
ave have received the following letter, to which implicit credit
ought not be given
" Cawnia, JUNE 4.—The Candiots have suffered a serious
check, the consequence of which has been an application made
by the principal chiefs of the emigrants (query, insurgents) in
the island to the Consuls of France and England. These Chiefs
have requested the Consuls to ask, in their names, for a confer-
ence with Tahir Pacha and Muatapha Pacha on board the
fleet, to come to an understanding on the adoption of the means
best calculated to obtain a satisfactory arrangement. The
Consuls have taken this step which has led to no result. The
Turkish Commander has refused the conference. They have
already consented to allow these chiefs, if they desire it, to get
themselves canveyed to some foreign country on board English
or French ships.
" The Chieflas asked for ten days to deliberate on this pro-
posal; this delay has been refused by the Turkish command-
ers. Such is the state cf things, and everybody believes that
the question will be speedily settled. The delay of the Turks
in completing their preparations to attack is equivalent to ac-
ceding to the above demand.
" A notice pasted up to-day in Paris announces that the
palace of Malmaison is to be sold by auction ; it is to be put
up at the price of 300,000 francs. It is known that a consi-
derable portion of the estate has been separated from the do-
main." _ _

PARIS, Juxa 22.—The squadron of Admiral Hugon which
was obliged to stop at the Hyeres islands, sailed on the 14th,
at three o'clock in the alternoon, and steered to the south.—
Le Commerce.
CAFE DE PARIS—SUNDAY, JUNE 20.
HALF-PAST Two.—The Tbree per Cent,. for tie Account
are as yesterday, 76f. 90c., but sellers. The loan the Minis-
ter of Finance has been authorised to raise for some time
past served to give rise to numerous rumours, as well in
respect to the amount as to the period of contracting for it.
There appears some foundation for thinking that the Minister
of Finance will give a notice on the subject some time in August.

It has been stated, on what appears good authority,
that Lord Roden is drawing a sinecure of 2,7001., one of.
the old remanets of Tory Government. His Lordship is
one of the active supporters of Sir R. Inglis's visionary
scheme of taxing the people to build new churches. Has
it never struck this respectable and pious nobleman that
he might afford a good example of zeal in this holy
cause, by devoting some part of his sinecure towards
the promotion of what he deems so essential an object ?
As his son, Lord .Jocelyn, is one of the Tory candidates
for ,Leeds,•- should this meet the; eye of the electors,
they will probably give him a hint on the subject at the
hustings.

The Earl of Mountcashel has addressed a letter to the
editor of the Times, regarding the anecdote that lately
went the round of the Press, respecting a young lady
who was attempted to be seduced by a clergyman, in
which his Lordship observes, " no blame of any kind
could be attributed to the friend of the young lady, and
the clergyman, though he ought never to have put a foot
within the walls of a house of the description, acted on
the occasion a praiseworthy and honourable part." His
Lordship adds, " the occurrence is not more surprising
than another that has come to my knowledge, which
took place at Almack's, tinder nearly similar circum -
stances."
A triumphal arch was erected yesterday by the inha-
bitants of Greenwich, in honour of her Majesty's pass-
ing through that town. It was decorated with evergreens,
flags, &c., in the centre was a double wheat-sheaf; under
which was displayed a banner bearing the motto, " God
save the Queen ;" at each corner, under a wheat-sheaf
were banners bearing the motto, "Melbourne, Peace, and
Plenty ;" and " Russell, Peace, and Plenty." Her Ma-
jesty stopped as she passed under the arch, and appeared
much gratified with the attention and the mottoes. The
arch wa3 erected from Captain Dundas and Mr. Bar-
'lard's Committee-rooms across the road, near the
Church. After the launch about two hundred of the
most influential inhabitants of the borough of Green-
wich, the supporters of Captain Dundas and Mr. Bar-
nard, sat down to a dinner at the Mitre Hotel, George
Barrett, Esq., in the Chair, supported by Charles liar-
wood and George Smith, Esqrs., County Magistrates, H.
Keeble, Esq. and other leading gentlemen. After din-
ner the health of the Queen, Duke of Sussex, Duchess
of Kent, and the rest of the Royal Family in England,
Prince Albert. and the Princess Royal, her Majesty's
Ministers, the People, the legitimate source of all Power ;
Mr. Barnard and Captain Dundas, and success to the
cause of Civil and Religious Liberty ; Thomas Law
Hodges, and the Liberal Electors of West Kent ; Mr.
Jolly, and the Liberals at Woolwich ; Mr. Wade and the
Liberals at Deptford; Charles Harwood and Geo. Smith,
Esqs., and the Liberal Magistracy of Kent, were given.
After the health of the worthy and excellent Chairman was
drunk with four times four, the party separated, highly
delighted and satisfied that their two candidates would
be returned with a most triumphant majority. It is well
to notice that the wheat upon the triumphal arch, as well
as the arch itself, gave great offence to the Tories on
Sir George Cockburn's Committee. One gentleman well
known threatened to destroy it.
