But at present we contend for what we think a
happy medium—the medium between intolerance and
seclusion.

Madrid papers of the 12th, and letters of the 13th
have arrived.

The French mail was stopped, between Santander
and Burgos, on the 12th, by the Carlists. They
burned the mail, and took the horses, leaving a receipt
for the latter, in the name of CHARLES VI.
The day before the band of EL ESTUDIENTE had
been routed by the QUEEN'S troops. He himself
was wounded, and one of his Aides-de-camp taken
prisoner.

A meeting of Progressistas had been held at the
house of Senor MENDIZABAL, at which twelve can-
didates had been nominated to stand at the forth-
coming provincial elections.
MADRID BOLSA.—The Three per Cents. closed on the
12th inst. at 26 cash ; the Five per Cents. 1 ; and
Passives at 5i cash.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.

The sentence on MM. TESTE, CUBIERES, and PAR-
MENTIER are the subject of comment in all of them,
and, judging from the tenor of their observations, it
is probable that the sentence on General CUBIERES
will be mitigated. Almost all the journals express
their commiseration for him, and consider him to
have been the dupe of other and more guilty parties.
The Union Monarchigue observes that, " Now that
the sentences are past the partizans of Government
will go about exclaiming Justice is done'—whereas
justice will not have been done until all the roots of
corruption shall have been torn up and eradicated."
"Imprudent optimists that you are," exclaims the
Union Monarchique, " you fall asleep on the crater
of a volcano. You resemble an ignorant populace,
who having immolated some unfortunate wretches
afflicted with the plague, cry out, 'We have de-
stroyed the plague!'"

The Presse, as might have been foreseen, turns the
conviction of M. TESTE to excellent account, and it
must be confessed there is some reason in its obser-
vations. It says—" Had the Court of Peers been
satisfied with M. TESTE'S solemn asseveration of
innocence (as fully as the Chamber of Deputies had
declared itself satisfied by the simple denial given by
M. DUCIIATEL to the matters alleged against him)—
had the Court of Peers accepted M. TESTE'S dis-
claimer of guilt, he would have passed as triumphantly
through the ordeal as had his former colleagues on
the 25th of June, in the Chamber of Deputies."
Now, seeing that the character of M. TESTE before
this accusation was brought against him stood as high
as ever did the character of M. DUCHATEL ; seeing,
also that M. DUCUATEL was a Cabinet colleague with
M. TESTE at the time the latter accepted the bribe, it is
but reasonable to demand judicial investigation into
the charges of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN against the
colleague of M. TESTE. Since the conviction of the
latter, the assertion of innocence of M. DUCEATED
amounts merely to a plea of not guilty.
On Saturday the Chamber of Deputies was
engaged in a debate on the Paris and Lyons Railroad
Bill, which was adjourned to Monday.
The Committee on the Loan Bill have reported in
favour of the Government.

The prospect of the harvest throughout the south
of Europe is most gratifying. For fifty years the
markets of Paris have never been so abundantly
supplied with fruit and vegetables as at present, and
the vintage of this year will, it is said, be memorable
for its superabundance.
The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage
de l'Opera on Sunday at 77f. 80c. This price was,
however, merely nominal, the great majority of the
speculators being in the country.
