Duke of Tuscany, &c. After the protest addressed
' to the Government of Modena, which is referred to
in the official journal of the 9th of this month, we
cannot see without extreme regret, that efforts con-
tinue to be made to agitate the people, and to induce
them tumultuously to take arms and to make illegal
demonstrations. Jealous of the dignity of the throne
and of the national interests, and convinced that to
sustain fully our rights abroad, we must commence
by showing that we know how to make them re-
spected at home, by not permitting public tranquil-
lity to be troubled, we will and declare as follows :
" 1. That if there be need to have recourse to ccu-
rage and to national enthusiasm, we mean to reserve
to ourselves alone the right to make an appeal thereto
in the legal forms. 2. That in the meantime we de-
sire that our people shall have confidence in the mea-
sures which have already been taken; and, in conse-
quence, we hope that they will not allow themselves
to be seduced by counsels, generous but unreflecting,
and which, instead of being profitable to the country,
would plunge it into an abyss of evil.
" Tuscans ! Calm yourselves, and await with tran-
quillity and confidence until the voice of the Prince
calls you to arms, if, unhappily, we shall be forced to
have recourse thereto. Then, and then only, those
arms will be successful. Remember that strength
only comes from union. Think on national honour;
think on Italy, whose fate, which seemed already so
secure, may be compromised by inconsiderate pro.
ceedings, as would also the negotiations already en-
tered into relative to Lunigiana, and which have
never• been interrupted.

Madrid papers of the 14th and Isth have arrived.

The Cortes was opened by the QUEEN in person on
the 15th. The royal speech, which is a very lengthy
document, will be found in another column. The
new Minister of Marine, BERTRAND DE Lis, has
been re-elected for Murviedro, as has FERNANDO
ALVAREZ (the Under-Secretary of the Department
of Justice), for Burgos. At a meeting of Afran-
cesado Deputies, over which MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA
presided, a committee was appointed to consider the
expediency of impeaching SALAMANCA. The com-
mittee consists of Senors PIDAL, SEIJAS, RIOS,
EOSAS, MORON, G. ]AOMERO, GuNzALES BRAVO,
and TEJADA.

The following are the Moderado candidates for
officers of Congress :

For President—Senor MON.
For Vice•Presidents—Senors Rios ROSAS, TE
DADA, ARTETA, and G. ROMERO.

For the two First Secretaries—Senors TASS ARA
and LAFUEETE ALCANTARA.

NARVAEZ has at length thrown off the mask of con-
stitutionalism, and has inaugurated the rule of force.
He has ordered the editor of the Clamor Publico to be
arrested and thrown into prison.
The QUEEN was received by the people in silence
on her road to and return from the Cortes. Not so
CHRISTINA, who was everywhere greeted with the
most loud and bitter execrations.

The Faro has the following on the affairs of the
Union Bank :

" One of the events that most call the attention
of the public is the suspension of payments of the
Union Bank. This unfortunate event complicates
more and more the mercantile crisis of which we are
the victims.

" The incidents recited respecting the situation
of the said bank are scandalous to such a degree
that we resist publishing them. It is a fact,
however, that M. Bagneres is under arrest in his
house, with two sentinels within sight at the
demand of Mr. Sanson. M. Bagneres, instigated
to escape, as it appears, by persons who offered
him the means of doing so, has resisted the counsel,
preferring to remain to answer for his management,
although it may result that notabilities of a certain
importance are compromised in it. The tribunals on
the one side, and the most wealthy shareholders of
the bank on the other, are occupied with this lament.
able business. Much is said of the amounts lost by
very respectable merchants of this place. It is also
asserted that these merchants think of uniting their
efforts in order to save the fortunes compromised."
The Faro concludes by saying that it does not
guarantee the authenticity of these statements.

A dispatch from the political chief of Saragossa,
dated the 12th instant, states that a Carlist band of
forty-nine men, which was going towards Upper
Arragon, was surprised on the 10th, on passing the
Cinca, by a squadron of carabineers, commanded by
Captain LOPEZ Y MORA, who killed two of them and
took thirty-one prisoners, and all their arms and
ammunition. The leader of the band and the rest of
his followers escaped.
The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 15th.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Journal des Debats has the following :
" We are assured that M. Bois-le-Comte left Berne
on the evening of the 17th, and retired to Bale with
all the embassy. M. Bois-le-Comte desiring to send
one of the secretaries of the embassy to Lucerne,
demanded a sauf cemluit from General Dufour. II
appears that this demand was not accorded, and that
in consequence M. Bois-le-Comte did not consider it
possible to remain any longer at Berne."
In the same journal we find a long article on Ire-
land— a proof that the French Minister is embarrassed.
This Irish trick is become too stale for repetition, the
French public see through it. "We were curious,"
says the Charivari, "to see how the Debats would
treat the capitulation of Friburg. Scarcely had we
opened that paper when we read—' We have received
very melancholy details from Ireland."' The Debats
and its masters are acting a consistent part. Foiled
in their attempts to support the murderers of the two
unfortunate Bernese who were found ripped open by
the Jesuit fanatics of the Sonderbund, they, as the
next best thing, seek an alliance with the
murderers of Major MAHON. If the Bishop
of FRIBURG is put hors de combat, they can
still turn for comfort to Archdeacon LAFFAN.
We, however, would strenuously advise " the Boys"
to put no trust in M. GUIZOT. He has a marvellous
knack of getting his friends into a scrape and leaving
them in it. He has done so in the case of the Son-
derbund. As the National justly remarks :
" There is in the reflections which the Journal des
Dibats have just published on the capitulation of Fri-
burg something else besides a shameful defection.
The base language employed indicates in what man-
ner the Ministry intends to justify itself before the
Chambers. M. Guizot prepares his defence, and is
resigned beforehand to sacrifice his friends of the
League, provided the necessities of the discussion in
Parliament cause him to feel the utility of that course.
It is thus that we have seen him in the affair of Gal-
licia at first deny with impudence the massacres
consented to or ordered by the Austrian Government,
and afterwards allow the Ministerial press to blame
with a timid voice the horrors which were too long
covered with a complaisant silence. It will be the same
for Switzerland. As long as it could be hoped that the
seven cantons would resist the majority of the Diet, the
French Cabinet gave them every sort of encouragement.
We do not speak of arms being sent and articles written
in journals—that was done in the open day ; but in
the shade what were our diplomatic agents doing ?
With whom was M. Bois-le-Comte in continual in-
tercourse? Let the Swiss of all opinions be asked;
let the Deputies of the Sonderbund avow what was
said to them, and show, if they have the courage so
to do, the secret correspondence which was kept up.
Yes, we affirm it ; the policy of the Cabinet for the
last two months has been const.intly directed against
the Diet ; and the French Government has endea-
voured, without ceasing, in its private communications
as well as in its official acts, to persuade the minority
that it made common cause with it. A denial will
not suffice to do away with the fact which we ad-
vance ; and we defy M. Guizot to venture to show the
dispatches which he exchanged with our Ambassador;
yet at present the demi-official organ endeavours to
insinuate that the Ministry was disinterested in the
struggle. Of two things, one—either this allegation
was exact, and in that case, what was the meaning of
a score of articles of the ebats which we can quote ?
or it is a means of pleading invented expressly to
conceal a check ?in either case--a falsehood."

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, having completed
the postal arrangements with the French authorities,
left Paris on Friday for London: On and from the

Ist January next the mails will be transmitted twice

a day between the two capitals.
The Marquis and Marchioness of NORMANDY left
Paris for London on Saturday. Theyare not expected to

return until the middle of December. Lord WILLIAM

HEIM= acts as Chargé d'Affaires during the absence

of the Marquis.

Cabinet Councils were held on the affairs of Swit-
zerland on Thursday and Friday. The KING pre-

sided at each of them. It is rumoured that the
Kum urges a rapprochement towards England in the

existing state of affairs.

On Friday last the tribunal of correctional police
of Paris sentenced, by default, M. G UMW (late
Aide-de-Camp of King Louis PHILIPPE), for cheat-

ing at cards, to three years' imprisonment and 2,0001.

The Toulonnais of the 1 Gth inst. states that the
