The Club of the Rue de Poitiers met on Monday
evening, and resolved not to bring forward any
candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, and to
accept any day that the Government might choose to
appoint for the election, only insisting that the Na-
tional Assembly shall not be prorogued until after the
election.

In its sitting of yesterday the Assembly rejected a
motion for adding an increase of 6,000 f. a month to
the salary of its President,
The Bill fixing the day for the election of the
President had not been presented to the Assembly at
the hour the post left, and it was said that M. PAO-
NERRE would propose to postpone the election until
after the passing oF the organic laws.

Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived.

They are filled with details of the proceedings of
the Court. The Prince and Princess of CAPUA are
staying at the Casino, where they• have been visited
by the KING CONSORT, and by Queen CHRISTINA.
The return of the Duke' and Ducheis DE MONTPEN-
SUR to Madrid is daily expected., They will be loCated
in the Palace of San Juan, on the Retiro, late the
residence of Don FRANCISCO. DI PAULA. The
Duchess, following the example of her worthy
father King FERDINAND VII. of blessed memory,
has been embroidering a petticoat for the Virgin
MART, which petticoat was, at the commencement of
the present month, carried in grand procession by a
general officer, attended by a royal guard of honour,
to the cathedral of Seville, where it was received by
the ecclesiastics in all due form, who immediately
proceeded to attire the image of the Virgin in the
royal gift. It does not appear that the Duke joined
in the procession.

The civil war continues in Catalonia and Arragon,
and the cruelties committed by VILLALONGA have, as
might naturally have been expected, excited reprisals
on the part of CABRERA. VILLALONGA recently shot
nineteen Carlists, whereupon CABRERA, by way of
reprisals, shut twenty of the QUEEN'S officers whom
he had taken. VILLALONGA caused five Carlists to
be shot at Liria, whereupon a Carlist corps entered
Benaguacil and seized five soldiers and shot them.
