France—secondly, a new law of succession to the
Crown—thirdly, important modifications in the con-
stitution. There can be no doubt that the Duchess de

Montpensier, having married a foreign Prince, will, in
conformity with the ancient laws of Spain, be declared to
have forfeited all right to the Crown. All these plans
are known at Paris, and Christina drives as far as she

can irritation into vengeance. She considers the
declaration of the forfeiture of the Duchess de Mont-
pensier as a cause of war. The Chef de Famille, who
in the face of Europe has entered into engagements
so solemn, cannot sustain this outrage upon his race
without drawing the sword. In less than a year a
marriage will have been broken, the Infanta sacri-
ficed, and all the magnificent hopes that gilded the
horison of the dynastic policy, entirely dissipated !
This is a degree of insolence too audacious to be en-
dured without a general conflagration. In the eyes
of Queen Christina, it would be a base and cowardly
abdication. While the mother is thus exerting all
her energies, the daughter is abandoning herself to
all the joys of emancipation. That futurity which
Christina views as being charged with storms, Isa-
bella embellishes with the sweetest dreams. The
walls of her palace resound with songs of joy and
with festive gladness; the antique Spanish etiquette
flies away in the presence of those light women who
preceded our innocent Princess in the paths of easy
amours—and that solemn solitude into which the old
monarchy was wont to envelop itself is converted into
a brilliant boudoir, in which Isabella listens, tete-a•tete,
to the councils of her seventeen years."
The Constitutionnel also comments on Spanish af-
fairs, and notwithstanding the sneers of the Presse,
speaks of the amnesty as of a measure moral, politic,
and wisely reasoned. It says—
" The Ileraldo looks on the decree of amnesty as
exceedingly ridiculous ; we can only judge of it at a
distance, but it would rather appear to us moral,
politic, and wisely reasoned. In France, at least, we
are partial to amnesties, and generally speaking we
have never seen that they have produced ill results.
The real causes of troubles and serious perils for
Spain are to be found neither in the old Esparterist
party nor the Carlist party, of which the powerless
bands may certainly lay waste some isolated points of
the frontier provinces, but will never raise up Spain.
The danger is altogether in the famous act of which
the Isturitz Ministry and our Cabinet were so proud
—the double marriage. What they said ought to
pacify Spain and Europe, do away with the Pyre-
nees, perpetuate the reigning dynasty at Madrid,
and assure the happiness of the young Queen, has
produced precisely contrary effects."
According to the Union )lfonarchique, an ordons
nance appointing M. Guizor President of the
Council, will appear forthwith. The opposition of
his colleagues was directed not to his appointment to
the Presidency, but to his claim as President to the
exclusive superintendence of the affairs of Algeria,
for which colony the Duc VAUMALE is to leave Paris
next week. His Royal Highness, the new Governor-
General, will have no sinecure if the following intel-
ligence, which is published in the Journal des Dahats,
should prove correct :
"We are assured that the Government yesterday
received the news that Abd-el-Kader had possessed
himself of the town of Taza, in Morocco, and would
march on Fez. Taza is half-way between the
Algerian frontier and Fez. It has a population of
from 6,000 to 8,000 souls. It is situated at the
southern extremity of one of the last ridges of the
Rif, in a tolerably strong position, and is surrounded
by an old wall, half Moorish half Portuguese' flanked
by square towers. These fortifications are falling in
ruins in all parts. The streets are tortuous and very
narrow; the town is watered by numerous fountains,
supplied by the sources from the mountains, and the
waters of which are subsequently made to fertilise
vast gardens."
The Courrier du Bas Rhin gives an account of a
reform banquet which was held at Strasburgh, and
which was attended by 700 persons. The toast of
the " Revolution of 1789" excited the greatest enthu-
siasm, as did those of the " Sovereignty of the People,"
" the Probity of Public Functionaries," and " the
Future of France." The health of the KING was
not toasted. The omission is significant. Fifty
other banquets of a similar character are to be held
in the provinces during the recess.
We have elsewhere stated the circumstances at-
tending the revolution in Lucca. The movement in
Italy is becoming general, and there is little doubt
but that Naples will also join it. The events in Italy
are sources of the profoundest disquiet to the KING
of the FRENCIi and his advisers.
The National says—
" Our last accounts lead.us to hope that a new
territory is about to be conquered by liberal ideas.
The excitement which existed in the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies had become general, and the intelligent,
enlightened, active population had become unanimous
in their enthusiasm for the policy inaugurated at
Rome. A movement was every day expected in
Naples, and it appears certain that such a movement
would embrace the entire population of the Two
Sicilies. This incident has produced a profound im-
pression on the Royal Family here, as well as the
Cabinet. It is feared that Austria, seeing her prey
about to escape her, may determine to adopt violent
measures. They fear that they may be obliged to
interfere. It is known that England has already
prepared to restrain or to precipitate the crisis, ac-
cording as it may serve her interests or gratify her
passions. English emissaries and English gold are
met in all directions, and English ships are seen at
Ancona and at Palermo. The hand so frequently
grasped in friendship, but now no longer offered to
Prance,
found in every direction, prepared and
armed is
and the words so frequently repeated during
the cordial understanding are now recalled to mind—.
England is the only Government which destroys
rumoured in Paris that the Bth day of Sep-
dylntas was dynasties.
It
Sep-
tember was the day fixed upon by the Neapolitan
22900cr.. patriots for the commencement of the movement.

OPENING HER MAJESTY'S LETTERS.---One Of the
persons employed by the Southampton postmaster to
take the Isle of Wight mails from the steamer to the
office has been suspended. He says he found a letter
addressed to her Majesty, from Osborne, open on board
the steamer. How the mail. bag, the pouch in it, and
the letter, all came open, some think the lad must know.
Of the four letters reported to have been received in
Scotland that had been opened and resealed, nothing is
known at present.
BRIGHTON AND ITS RAILWAY.—The appearance of
the town on approach, instead of being injured by the
railway, as was asserted would be the case, is immensely
improved. The effect of the curved viaduct for the
Lewes line, with its twenty seven lofty arches thre ailing
the Downs, wiih the clustering houses seen behind, is
exceedingly striking—in some points of view even mag-
nificent.— The Builder.
A gun for the purpose of projecting harpoons into
whales has been invented in America; and also a bomb
lance, which, on being fired into a whale, explodes and
kilts the animal.

The Bath General Hospital and the Bath United

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLACKYRIARS-BRIDGE.—
Yesterday a fatal accident occurred off the Surrey side
of Blackiriars-bridge to a boy named John Tomlinson,
whose parents reside in Cornwell-road, Lambeth. The de-
ceased and several companions were playing on the logs
of timber moored off the steps on the Surrey side of
Blackfriars-bridge, two of which separated, and he sud-
denly disappeared. The timbers closed over him, and he
never came to the surface again. All efforts to recover
the body were useless.
SITTINGS OF THE INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—
