nated years since. It reflects little credit on France
that the ashes of the EMPEROR should be allowed
to repose on the cold rock of St. Helena, so far
from the scenes of his glory—for we cannot sup-
pose the British Government so wanting in magna-
nimity as to desire to continue the imprisonment
of the remains of the illustrious dead. No event
likely to take place during the Ministerial career of
M. THIERS will redound more to his honour than
his restoring to France all that now remains of the
hero of Austerlitz.

The Madrid journals of the 12th inst. have been re-
ceived.

Immediately after the arrival of Brigadier Concha in
Madrid, a report was ciculated that the Cortes were
again to be dissolved. Although not credited, the ru-
mour excited some uneasiness in the public mind. It
would appear more probable that this officer had been sent
to Madrid by General Espartero, to concert measures with
the Government for pacifying the provinces of Cuenca
and Guadalaxara, of which he had been appointed military
commander.

A letter from Saragossa, dated the 11th of this month,
has the following news;_.
" This morning the prisoners taken by Zurbano and
General Ayerbe arrived in this city. They are about 600 in
number. They were immediately sent to the Castle of
Aljaferia.

The troops are still in the same cantonments, and
will probably remain there till the taking of Aliaja.
In proportion as the troops advance into the interior of
the country, desertion becomes more considerable from the
Carlist ranks.

It appears that in the course of this month the General-
in-Chief will advance to Morella, the army of the centre
to Cantavieja, and Brigade-General Concha to Beteta.
It is said that measures have been concerted to make these
three places fall on the 27th of this month, which is St.
Christina's day.
The Recherch frigate was sent from Cherbourg on the
17th, for the coast of Iceland. —Moniteur.
Cabrera, who is still sick, has confided the defence of
Morella to General Palillos. —Le Constitutionnel.
A journal bas pronounced the word amnesty. This
would be a step in a better cause. The compliment to tho
pretended amnesty of Count Mole has been long delayed.
Will M. Thiers, who pretends to have had the first idea of
this measure, have at least the honour of completing ity
Nothing would be more agreeable to the public wish; for
it is notorious that almost all the Juries have acquitted the
out-lawed accused of 1832. The condemnations under
which the accused of that time still labour have no connec-
tion with the prevailing policy which has followed a dif-
ferent course. It is therefore a rigour without an object.—

The Munich Political Gazette, of the 12th, has an ac-
count of a duel between Prince Von Oeltingen Wallers-
tein and Herr Abel, the Minister of the Interior. The
Prince had the first fire, and missed; Herr Abel then fired,
and was equally unsuccessful. The latter then advanced,
and declared that, in his opinion, the Prince was in-
capable of committing such a shameful act as he
( Abel) had attributed to him in the last sitting of
the Chamber. Herr Abel gave this declaration
also in writing. The duel took place in an English
garden, belonging to a distinguished personage.
The seconds were two Bavarian Peers. After the affair,
Prince Von Oeltingen Wallerstein was visited by Prince
Charles and several Court dignitaries; and in the even-
ing the Prince Royal, at the dinner, paid marked atten-
tions to the Prince combatant. Herr Abel and his second
wore not at the dinner, but all the Councillors of State at
Munich were present. Prince Maximilian proposed the
toast of " The Chamber of Peers," which had energetically
protested against the violent attacks of which Prince Oel-
tingen Wallerstein had been the victim. It was rumoured
that the political portion of this affair was to undergo the
investigation of a committee.
