The Constilutiound, the Courriir Francais, the Can•
coerce, the Siecl2,theGazeyedeFrance, the Quojidienne, the
France and the Jou/4mldu 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 it 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. Thay 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 fur a union with the eldest
son of Don Carlos, or a Prince of the. House of
Orleans, and to Batter 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 Pet&
tentf%

• 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 druins
beating a salute, the bands playing; and the men
shouting Vice le Roi t This reception greatly affected
his Majesty. The Dukes d'Aumale and de Mont•
pensier, the Russian Ambassador, the Neapolitan Am-
bas:zador, 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."

Thc; i'resse 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.
