The Constitutionnel, the Courrier Francais, the Com-
merce, the Siech, the Gazette de France, the Quotidienne, the
France and the Journal du Peuple of Monday condemn the
circulars of the Minister of Justice in terms as energetic as
those employed in their respective columns of Sunday.
They contend that the Government aims at nothing less
than the destruction of the freedom of the press, and the
virtual abolition of the right of Parliamentary petition.
The war between the Government and the press is now
of the most deadly nature. They may be said with one
accord to hurl defiance at the Crown and Cabinet.
The Memorial Bordelais has the following article rela-
tive to the reported marriage between the young Queen
of Spain and the second son of the Infante Don Francisco
de Paula, alluded to in The Sun of yesterday :—" We
are informed that the Whig Cabinet, before it retired,
made overtures in the name of her Britannic.. Majesty in
support of a proposed alliance. between the Duke of
Cadiz, son of Don Francisco de Paula, and Queen Isa-
bella 11. This Prince was born in 1822. England, in
taking the lead on this question, wished no doubt to
defeat the projects for a union with the eldest
son of Don Carlos, or a Prince of the House of
Orleans, and to flatter the pride of the Spaniards
by giving them a king of their own countrymen,
over whom at the same time England would re-
tain political influence."—This paragraph is caused by
the statement of M. Hoyos having been sent from Ma-
drid on a mission to the Infante. With regard to this
mission, a Madrid letter of the 18th instant says:—" It
appears certain that the object of M. Hoyos' journey to
Bordeaux is to make a verbal communication to Don
Francisco de Paula of the resolution adopted by our
Government with regard to him, and to make arrange-
ments with his Royal Highness for his return to Spain."
Another letter of the 19th assigns a matrimonial object,
such as is indicated by our Contemporary, to this mission.
The Marseilles journals state, that on the 22d instant
that town was completely inundated by a deluge of rain.
A horse and cart were carried down one of the streets.
The lightning nearly destroyed the Church of the Peni-
tents.
The Moniteur gives the following account of the arrival
of the King of the French at the Palace of Compeigne.
It will be seen that nothing is left untried to make the
King appear a favourite with the army :—" On the
morning of the King's arrival, when his Majesty's ap-
proach was announced, all the troops of the second divi-
sion, or the Orleans Camp, appeared on the road with-
out arms, but with torches in their hands, the drums
beating a salute, the bands playing, and the men
shouting Vive le Roil This reception greatly affected
his Majesty. The Dukes d'Aumale and de Mont-
pensier, the Russian Ambassador, the Neapolitan Am-
; bassador, with the Duchess de Serra Capriola and their
daughter, the Netherlands Minister, his Excellency Ge-
neral Cass, with Mrs. and Miss Cass, Mr. Bulwer, Bri-
tish Charge d'Affaires, Lord and Lady Mahon, Marshal
Molitor, the Minister of the Marine, the Duke and
Duchess Decazes, and General Pajol, arrived at the Pa-
lace in the course of Saturday. The King gave a grand
dinner to 100 guests. At eight in the evening the Royal
party adjourned to the theatre of the palace, to witness
the representation given by the company of the Opera
Comique."
The Presse has a second article, endeavouring to show
that the English no longer possess any influence in
Turkey, Syria, and Egypt. The Courrier Francais, or
the .National, or both, will pick up the gauntlet thrown
down by the Presse. For our own part we are content
with the state of things in the East, so far as regards
British influence, if they be only left in the condition
Lord Aberdeen found them on taking possession of the
Foreign-office.

PAILLIAWLENTAILY.
The Lords merely passed the Frogmore Estate and
the Kensington Gardens Bill through the stage of a
second reading, after Lord Brougham had expressed
his regret that it was so easy to get large sums for
Royal accommodation, and so difficult to get small sums
for the education of the people. Their Lordships ad-
journed till Thursday.
In the Commons Mr. Cochrane's return for Bridport
was petitioned against.
On the Administration of Justice Bill being read a
third time, Mr. Ward again adverted to the scandalous
job of giving an annuity out of the public purse to Lord
Abinger's son, and properly referred to the much more
honourable conduct of Lord Brougham in somewhat
similar circumstances. But, although Sir James Graham
then took sound views, of which he was toad last night,
and though the present job was indignantly denounced,
the Bill was read a third time and passed, and the annuity
is now safe. How the Scarletts will rejoice.
The House was occupied through the remainder of the
evening with the Poor-law Bill. On the motion to com •
mit it Mr. Sharman Crawford moved a resolution to
prevent the formation of new Unions, and to allow of
the Guardians giving out-door relief. A tedious and
protracted debate ensued, which was, however, remark-
able for a potent speech by Mr. Ferrand, for Sir James
Graham declaring that the Government adhered to the
principle of the Poor-law, for a captious speech by Mr.
Wakley, and a castigation which he received at the hands
of Mr. Ward. He was told that there was no Member
of the House so audacious in making assertions, and so
cowardly in giving effect to his assertions by his votes.
Mr. Crawford's resolutions, though Mr. S. Wortley said
he would support the first, were lost, and the Bill com-
mitted. It is to be read a third time on Friday.
