accompanied by the Duke DE NEMOURS and the
Prince DE JOINVLLLE, and attended by a brilliant
staff, reviewed the garrison of Paris ,in the Place du
Carrousel. His MAJESTY, who made a profuse dis-
tribution of decorations among the officers and non-

commissioned officers, was loudly cheered.

A telegraphic dispatch received on Tuesday an-
nounces the arrival of the Dues DE MONTPENSIER and
D'AUMALE at Burgos on the evening of the sth.
They were to set off for Buitrago the following
morning. They were received everywhere, says the
dispatch, with acclamations.
The Epoque, the Ministerial journal, gives a mag-
niloquent account of the progress of these princes
through Spain, but it omits to account for the very
slow rate at which the progress is made, contrasting
as it does so strangely with " the hot haste" with
which the bridegroom elect spurred along the route
from Paris to Bayonne. A correspondent of the

National, however, accounts for it by stating

that the Princes are accompanied by an army
(cavalry, infantry, and artillery), to keep off
the people, and protect them against any attempts
that may be made by guerilla parties to carry them
off to the mountains. This writer, in describing the

triumphal entry of the Princes into Irun, says :
" The cortege advances according to a programme
previously arranged. Ten squadrons of cavalry
serve as an escort. There were three hun-
dred infantry at the bridge of Irun, and the carriages
are followed by two pieces of artillery. In spite of all
this military show, which is well calculated to excite
curiosity, the crowd is inconsiderable, and the enthu-
siasm null. When the escort arrived opposite the
church, one of the commanding officers raised his sword,
and cried Viva!' The cavalry, in obedience to the
word, cried also ' Viva!' The people asked which was
the nobio (the bridegroom), and as people were not
always well informed, the answers were sometimes
absurd, and some people, who took General Athelin for
the happy man, thought him a little too old. Here is a
conversation which I overheard between two Spaniards,
countrymen from the neighbourhood. On seeing the
troops and the cannon, one of them said, These French
princes, then, come as prisoners?' No,' said the other,
but they are afraid of contrabandistas.' Every pre-
caution has been taken against a coup de main, and,
under pretext of honours, an army has been echelon be
tween Irun and Madrid. From here to Vittoria there
are 2,000 infantry and 600 cavalry; from Vittoria to
Burgos, from Burgos to Valladolid, from Valladolid to
Segovia, and from that last point to Madrid, there are
the same number of troops."
The answer of the French Cabinet to the note pre-
sented by the Marquis of NORMANBY was forwarded
on Monday to the Count DE JARNAC, to be presented
by him to Lord PALMERSTON.
The article which had appeared on the preceding
day in the Constitutionnel, and which we gave in
The Sun of yesterday, appears to have excited a great
sensation in the political circles of Paris.
The Legitimatist Quotidienne, in observing on it,
says— _ _

" Tne language of the Centre Gauche is very signifi-
cative: It is well to regard it as an expression from the
heart in a moment of anger, and as an evidence in favour
of true and serious opposition. Even those who have
come the nearest to the pens& dirigeante, now make com-
mon cause with us, and justify our opposition. We will
not ask the Contutionnel to be consistent with itself, and
not to retrograde when it has taken the first step. In the
times in which we live acts are daily giving the lie to the
words and promises of M. Thiers. M. Thiers gives way
to anger, but at the same time he is endeavouring to see
whether he maybe able to return to power by a back door.
, We are tempted to believe that the article of the Consti-
tutionnel is not unconnected with such a wish. Whilst
it makes some avowals not very agreeable to the system,
the Constitationnel takes good care not to attack the prin-
ciple of the English alliance. On the contrary, it lauds
it in an indirect manner, and pretends to prove that M.
Gni:a has greatly compromised it. Does M. Thiers,
profiting by the diplomatic embarrassments with Eng-
land on the subject of Spain, wish to offer himself as a
saviour? This is quite possible. We declare before-
hand, however, that this fourth rupture with the British
Government will end, like the three others, in some dis-
graceful concession."
The Siècle, vvh;3ll has always hitherto been un-
sparing in its attacks on Lord PALMERSTON and on the
English alliance, says, in allusion to the revelations
made by the Constitutionnel in the article alluded
