PARIS, JAN.Q~.----AMessenger has arrived at
the •English Embassy at Paris, which left Midrid
on the evening of the •16th.—The departure of
the three Ambassadors had made little-sensation,
M. Lagarde was still,at Madrid.
The greatest union prevailed among all
.parties
in the Cortes,lo•resist,Cin case. of war, the efforts
of foreigners. In the Sitting of the 16th a Deputy
made a motion to grant a general amnesty for
political offences, including even the accused of
the affair of July 7.
The Russian Minister to,the Court of Spain
arrived at Paris from Madrid yesterday evening
. (the 25th).
(FROM. TUT. DRAPEAU BLANC.I.
It is positively said that the Minister of the
Marine goes to the King's ilouselield, and that
M. Hyde de Neuville becomes `Minister of Marine.
M. de Lauriston goes as Major General to the
Army of the .Pyrenees.

with an incredible ardour at the mere report of

leagues, worn out. by long campaigns, and thus
to grant them the chance of once inore4iraving
danger, and seeking glory. It would take up
too much space to recount every trait of this
species, which the present' circumstances .have'
given rise to in the -Royal Guards, as well as in.
the troops of the line.

(FROM THE CONSTITISTIONNEt.)
The -Journal des Ditbais announces the Mi.
risterial • changes which have taken , place at
;Loodon, and which consolidates the influence
end the policy of Mr. Canning, but it is
silent
concerning the inevitable consequences of .this
event. The. system of Mr. Canning tends to
preterve the peace of Europe, in. order to.oppose
an efficacious resistance to the ex.cessive aggran-
dizement of Russia. This important news has
created so 'lively a sensation at 'Paris, that the
J.'unds even have risen considerably. It is gene-
rally thought that the new system of
,policy
curs ,ed by the Cabinet of St. dames will'have
some influence on that of the Continental Powers.
it Cannot be doubted that an 'intimate connec-
trop Via& bean recently established between Eng-
agni' Spain. The arrival of Lord Somerset

Mlniaters of The Holy Alliance were qtiitting That
..40tal, is an incontestible proof of this.
It has also been observed, whatever prepare-
flaps have been made,. that the French Ministry
111111 not yet Made airy positive declaration of its
ulterior views; that the Duke of San Lorenzo
`bed neither demanded nor received his passports;
:•ltlitit representative df 'Austria remained at

and of his family .was not made worse. Accord-
itigto altthese considerations it is thought that
'AIM* is not yet so closely allied with ,Russia
'as tti follow itspolic,y and expose to the hazards
;of war its interests, Its repose, and its prosperity.

Mn. 'EDITOR—I shall be much obliged.to any
of your Clerical friends who will it me
how it happens that, in Our Church Calendar,
innocents' Day occurs before the Epiphany, when
it is quite clear that the Epiphany celebrates the
adoration and .offerings of the Wise Men to our
Saviour, and that the massacre of the Innocents
took place ufterzcards, in consequence of the
Wise Men not returning lo.acquaint llerod with
the place where they had found the infant
Christi—Such anachronism appears the more
strange, as the Gospels for the above days are
each taken from the 2d chapter of St. Matthew—
'the first twelve verses being selected for the
Epiphany (6 January), and the succeeding six
verses for innocents' Day. (28th December).
