We are rejoiced to find that although our diplo-
matic relations may be suspended with Spain our
scientific relations are as intimate as ever. Visits
such as this of the Marquis DE lii.rosA cannot but be
of advantage to the people of both countries as they
dispel those prejudices which rulers are but too
apt to expleiter to their own advantage.

We this day publish an important document on a
subject of national justice, in which the public cha-
racter of England is concerned—being a letter to Sir
JoAN CAM HOBROUSB, Bart., President of the Board
of Commissioners for the Affairs of India, by RUNGO
BAPOGEE, the representative in this country of the
Baja of SATTARA. Much as this question has been
hitherto discussed, both in Parliament and at the
India House, still we think that the arguments and
facts adduced by RUNGO BAPOJEE are so forcible, so
clear, and so convincing, that the reader can come to
no other conclusion than that the late RAJA has been
most shamefully treated by the officers of the East
India Company. Let us, however, hope that justice,
so long denied to the RAJA, may yet be done to his
legal and natural representative.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
No authentic intelligence had been received as to
the whereabout of the POPE. The Bien Public says
he has arrived at Marseilles, another rumour was that
the Government had received a telegraphic dispatch
announcing his arrival at Malta, white some persons
affirmed that he had not quitted Rome at all. The
fact however of his flight appears to be beyond doubt.
The Lyons Gazette publishes the following extract
from the Marseilles Courier, of the 29th :

" The Mentor steamer, commanded by Captain Le-
veque, which entered this port yesterday, having left
Naples on the 25th, and Civita Vecchia on the 26th,
has brought the important news that on Sunday, the
26th instant, Pope Pius IX. has quitted the Roman
States on board the Tenare steamer, to come to Mar-
seilles or to Toulon."

The Lyons Gazette also states that several travel-
lers had arrived in that place, who had left Rome on
the 24th, before the departure of his HOLINESS was
known. At that time the citizens were in a state of
great agitation.

The Univers publishe3 the following letter :

"Paris,Thce. 2, 1848.
" Mr. Editor,--Iraving learnt that people have re-
marked on my having abstained in the vote relative to the
expedition to Civita Vecchia, I believe it to be my duty
to declare that, at the same time that I am determined
to support all the measures which may be required to
guarantee efficaciously the liberty and authority of the
Sovereign Pontiff, I was not able to support with my
vote a military demonstration which appeared to me to
be dangerous even to the sacred rights which it was in-
tended to protect, and of a nature to compromise the
peace of Europe.—Receive, sir, the assurance, &c.,
" Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE."

On thi9 letter the Uniocrse thus comments :

" The Government, according to the language of
General Cavaignac and M. IJufaure, only thought of
protecting the person of the Holy Father, and guaran-
teeing his individual liberty. In this letter, M. Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte speaks of the liberty and the autho-
rity of the Sovereign Pontiff. We hope that ho inserted
this last word designedly, and that, in case of need, he
will not forget it."
Marshal BUGEAUD has at length made up his mind
to vote for Louis NAPOLEON. He has written a letter
to the Constitutionnel, in which he says, " I join in
opinion with the mass of the men of order, and I de-
clare that I shall vote for Louis NAPOLEON BONA-
PARTE. The false interpretation put on the words in
my former letter oblige me to make this declaration."
M. BERRYER, M. MONTALEMBERT, and M. MOLE,
also, it is said, intend to vote for LOUIS NAPOLEON, as
does M. CREMIEUX.
An electoral committee, appointed by the inha-
bitants of the quarter St. Eustache (Paris), held a
meeting on Friday night to elect their president and
secretary. 19 members were present, of whom 16
declared themselves in favour of General EUGENE
CATAIGNAC, and 3 for M. LEDRU ROLLIN.
A general assembly of the delegates of the sections
of the city of Lyons, and of the rural cantons, was
held in that city on Friday last, when it appeared
that the sections of Lyons gave 81 votes to General
CAVAIGNAC, and but 6 to Prince Louis NAPOLEON.
Six out of ten of the canton; outside the walls gave
143 votes to General CAVAIGNAC, and but 70 to
Prince Louis. Two of the four cantons, which had
not elected delegates, had written to declare that they
would vote unanimously in favour of General CA-
TAIGNAC. It is stated, further, that General
CAVAIGNAC'S intervention for the protection of the
POPE has created an immense feeling in favour of
the General amongst the clergy and the religious
portion of the inhabitants of Lyons.

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived.
The Gaceta publishes the following decrees :
" WAR OFFICE—ROYAL DECREES.
"In attention to the reasons which Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Don Fernando Fernandez de Cordova has exposed to
me, I hereby relieve him from the charge of Captain-
General of Catalonia, in order that he may fulfil that of
Director General of Infantry, which he also holds.
" Given at the Palace, the 23d Nov., 1848. Is signed
by the Royal Hand. The Minister of War,
"FRANCISCO DE PAULA FIGUERAS."
" Taking into consideration the excellent circum-
stances that concur in the Lieutenant-General Don
Manuel do la Concha, Marquis del Duero, I hereby name
him Captain-General of Catalonia." (Signed as above.)
The Barcelona papers of the 23d mention that
POZAS and MoNsEuRAT entered the town of Sabadell
on the afternoon of the 21st, having burnt the town
gates in order to get in. The soldiers in garrison
there retired to their strong house, where they re-
mained blazing away R henever any of the Carlists
came within sight, but the latter, after spending the
night in the town, went away at six the next morning.
They had arrested several of the inhabitants, both
male and female, in consequence of the money they
demanded not being forthcoming at first ; but as they
set them all at liberty again, the money had probably
been paid.
A letter from Reus, of the 20th, says that the
corporation had received a dispatch from the Carlist
ovh,iiteheira iNtmhlaeoss otolouLT, the previous day, in which he
summoned them to pay him a contribution in money
equal to three quarters of their fixed contribution

powerful remedy must be applied, if we desire to
restore her to a sound and healthy state.

The Spanish General, the Marquis DE lILJOSA DE
ALAVA, left London on Sunday for Paris en route to
Madrid. The Noble Marquis was sent to this
country some months ago by the Spanish Govern-
ment, as chief of a military scientific commission for
the corps of artillery and engineers, with
the view of examining our naval and mili-
tary establishments, and collecting information on the
progress of our national institutions. Our Govern-
ment, with that enlarged liberality which constantly
characterises its policy, whatsoever may be its rela-
tions with foreign countries, has readily afforded to
the gallant General all necessary facility for the
fulfilment of his object. This distinguished noble-
man is one of the most eminent mathematicians Spain
can boast of. We are informed that whilst he re-
sided in London he has commanded unanimous
respect and admiration by his high scientific attain-
ments. The Royal Society, the Astronomical, the
Geographical, the Geological, and the Antiquarian
Societies, which the Marquis DE Hu OSA
constantly visited since their re-opening, have
vied with one another by inviting him to their
evening meetings, and many of their more distin-
guished members were greatly gratified to make his
personal acquaintance. In the last meeting of the
Society of Arts, a beautiful mathematical instrument,
invented by the enlightened General, and which
bears his name—" Hijosa's Angle Trisector," was ex-
hibited in the saloon of the society, and 'was
much admired by our renowned engineers, Mr.
BRUNEL and Mr. PARE; for its simplicity and
useful application. We regret that the termination
of this:scientific Spanish mission will deprive us so
soon of the presence of a gentleman who is so able to
enrich the scientific world with the results of his
valuable discoveries. We are, however, glad to
understand that he has entered into correspondence
with several of our scientific institutions, and that he
will forward to them, on his return to Spain, the pub.
lications containing the results of his mathematica
labours.
