BAGUENAULT.

[From the Etoile of Saturday.]
MADRID, IJAY 10.—His Majesty has confer-
red the dignity of Muster of the Horse, vacant
by the death of the. Count de Puebla, on the
Duke of Hujar, who immediately set out for
Aranjeuz. The Bishopric of Toledo, the great-
-est See in Spain, is given to M. Inguanzo, Bishop
of Zamora.

lalevolence has greatly exaggerated what
passed at Saragossa a fortnight ago. The whole,
turns out to have been a quarrel, caused by
some drunken persons, who attacked the per-
sons whom they met in the street. The Roy—
alist volunteers and a detachment of soldiers
"hastened to the spot to restore order ; the ag-
gressors resisted, and fourteen of the most .riot-
•ous were arrested to be brought to trial. An
officer was wounded in the tumult : two men
were killed.

PARIS, MAY 21.—1 t results from some tables
just published by M. Benoiston, in a " Memoire sur lee En-
fins Trona'," that the number of foundlings has gone on in-
creasing in every State in Europe, except from 1790 to 1800.—
During that interval the diminution amounted to a third; but
after that period, and particularly since 1815, the number has
constantly increased. There were 51,000 foundlings in France
in 1798, 69,000 in 1809, 84,500 in 1815, and 138,800 in 1822.
According to the "Annuaire du Bureau des Longitudes," there
were, in 1823, 932,130 births in the year, which gives one child
abandoned out of every twenty-eight. It appears from the in-
formation given by the Government, that the provinces near
the sea, in which there are most populous cities, and'which are
the centre of arts and industry, containing 20,000,000 inha-
bitants, hardly give as many foundlings as the remaining
10,000,000 who occupy the centre provinces, from which Paris
and Lyons are subtracted, as each of them supplies 6,000.
Pants, MAY 21.—Five per Cents. Consols opened at 104 f. 65c.
