days of revolution. Truth will one day do justice to
each. lam not impatient of justice, for I have no fear
of its decision.
"I have, however, just read in your number of the Gth
a fragment of an article borrowed from the Debats, in
which the following mad calumnies are put forth :
" • During the latter days of February the pavement
had been scarcely replaced when the new Government
thought of again raising barricades against the National
Guard, and against the part of the population which it
believed to be actuated by a spirit of re-action, an accu-
sation which struck at all lovers of social order. A
battalion of barricade builders was formed, the members
of which were to serve as instructors in 'different quar-
ters, and thus to make known the theory of that kind of
defence. These barricades were marked out on a plan
of Paris, and the edifices and monuments were also
pointed out which were to be formed into central for-
tresses. No one can, therefore, be astonished at the
skilful combinations displayed by the insurgents of June;
they followed a plan traced out by the Government.'
" I avow that, for the first time, the perusal of these
odious lines made me break that silence which I had im-
posed on myself until the moment for explanation should
arrive. To see myself thus transformed into a professor
of civil war, and a preparer of means of carnage—l, who
every day during the last four months presented my
breast, in order to spare the blood of my fellow-citizens!
There is no reply to make to such a charge. There is
only a cry of indignation, which I utter from the bottom
of my soul, and which I beg of :you to enregister.—Re-
ceive, Monsieur, &c.,
" L A MARTINE,
" Ex-Member of the Provisional Government and
of the Executive Committee."

The Journal de,, Debats acknowledges the receipt
of a similar communication, but states that it arrived
too late for publication.
The Constitutionnel publishes a long speech made
by M. THEIRS in the Committee on the Constitution,
in favour of a second Chamber, in the course of which
he stated, that when in 1830 he, in conjunction with
others, proposed to Lours PHILIPPE the establishment
of an hereditary peerage, they found LOUIS PHILIPPE
as much opposed to it as ➢l. ARMAND CARREL him-

se,..
The Constitutionnel says that General BEDEAU has
not refused the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but
that his wound is more serious than had been at
first imagined, although his life is not considered in
danger.
General DAMESME, who underwent amputation, is
going on favourably, but General DUVIVIER is con-
sidered to be in great danger.
M. THEODORE ALBERT, who accompanied the late
Archbishop of PARIS to the barricades, carrying be-
fore him the palm branch, has published the following
interesting account of the circumstances attending the
death of the martyred Prelate :
" An actor in one of the most sorrowful scenes which
have deluged Paris in blood, I should not have thought
of intruding myself on public notice, if truth had not
been sacrificed, and a statement made that I had put the
police in the trace of the murderer of the Archbishop. It
was only at the Place de I'Arsenal that I learned from
the mouth of the Prelate his holy resolution. Having
demanded some ono to precede him and announce him
to the insurgents, I immediately offered. A superior
officer having said that with this mission neither a mili-
tary man nor a National Guard should be intrusted,
I put off my uniform, and took a blouse and a cap.
I attached also to the flag-staff of a flag which
had been taken from the insurgents a branch of
a tree, and I marched preceding Monseigneur and
his two vicars, MM. Jacquemet and Ravinet. The
Place do la Bastille was deserted. Arrived at the bar-
ricade, I proclaimed the arrival of the Archbishop of
Paris. The prelate followed me alone, his servant
having been pushed into the shop of a wine merchant,
and the vicars being separated by the sudden invasion
of the place and the quarrels which they were trying to
appease. I waved my branch of peace and went near
Monseigneur, who walked very slowly on account of the
state of the pavement. Extending his hand, ho cried,
Ales arnis, mes amis!' but he could scarcely be heard,
the noise on all sides was so great. I conducted him to
a place in which the pavement had not been broken
up, between two barricades. When arrived at
the door of the first shop, No. 4, the Arch-
bishop staggered, and falling into my arms, said,
My friend, I am wounded r His countenance re •
mained so calm that I thought his wound slight.
Assisted by some insurgents, I carried him into the
shop. The fusillade recommenced, and the insurgents
surrounded us with great demonstrations of grief. The
fusillade about us was terrible—the Prelate only com-
plained of his legs, which I supported. An insurgent
now said to me, looking at the Prelate, The scoun-
drel who killed him I would have shot if they would
have let me !' This man repeated this several times
energetically. If I should see him again I should re-
member him, and then we may learn the name of the
assassin. We could soon have left the shop No. 26, the
insurgents and a woman having brought us a mattrass,
a sheet, and a pillow; but the litter we had made with
muskets was incessantly unmade to clear the barricades
which were on the route of the Quinze-Vingts. For-
getting his own sufferings, he only appeared to think of
those of his faithful servant who was wounded. The
little door of the Quinze-Vingts was opened for us, the
curate of St. Antoine soon arrived and wished us to
carry the Prelate into his apartment, where he was placed
on a mattrass in the salon, the insurgents retired, and
the Prelate asked for his private secretary, Dr. Cayol,
and his servant Cyprien. I offered to fetch them, and
whilst the cure of St. Antoine wrote a laissez passer
motive,' the Abbe Roux asked to accompany me, and
we passed the Rue St. Antoine. The concierge was
uneasy as to his master; we directed him to fetch the
doctor, and we ourselves took with us the secretary and
the servant. On our return MM. Jacquemet and Ra-
vinet, who had rejoined the Archbishop, though with
much danger, informed him of tha gravity of his wounds.
The two servants burst into tears. Pierre, the servant,
who was wounded, crept to the bed of the prelate, who
asked his servants to pardon the little irritation he had
occasionally exhibited towards them, and gave them his
benediction. Whilst I kissed his hands he told the
vicars to give me a little remembrance of him, on which
they said he had himself better give it. I was present
at the sacrament, but seeing that I could be no further
useful, I retired, when M. rAbbe Roux lent me a sur-
plice, with whic h I could the more easily pass, as a
priest, the advanced posts of the army."
Admiral TREHOUART has been appointed to the
command of the Mediterranean fleet in the room of
Admiral BAUDIN.
Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON has, it is said, declined
taking his seat for Ajaccio in the National Assembly.

General SUBERYIE avid to M. ARAGO.
The Moniteur does not contain the usual weekly
statement of the Bank of France.
BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, JULY 7.

THREE o'CLocx.—The Bourse was exceedingly ani-
mated to-day, and the rise which commenced two days
ago made greater progress than on either of the previous
days. The sensible and moderate measures proposed by
M. Goudchaux, and the confidence felt by the mercantile
world, that the wild schemes of MM. Gamier Pages
aad Dueler° will not be renewed, is the only cause of
this great rise, for in other matters the country is just
where it was. For the Account the French Three per
Cents. have risen 2f. ; Five per Cents. have risen
31. 50c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have risen
2f., and the Five per Cents. 41. ; Bons du Tr4sor are at
74 discount ; Bank of France Shares have risen 180 f. ;
Belgian Bank Shares not quoted ; Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have risen 71.•' Spanish Active not quoted ;
;
Roman has risen 21. Rothschild's receipt not quoted.
Railway Shares for the Account, settling of July 15,
which had not been done during that settling, have risen
greatly. For cash the Orleans have risen 1401., for
Rouen 77f. 50c. Versailles right bank 151. ; left bank,
22f. 50c. Havre, 17f. 50c. ; Marseilles, 25f. ; Northern

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived.

The false and calumnious assertions of the Minis-
try, made through the medium of their organ, the
Heraldo, that there was not an Englishman in
Madrid who did not approve of the dismissal of Sir
IL BULWER, has elicited the following reply, which
has been signed by all the English resident in Madrid
except two, both of whom have intimate relations
with the Spanish Government. This document was
sent to the Heraldo, but with that sense of fair play
and that love of truth, which so peculiarly charac-
terise the Orleanist faction, it was refused insertion.
It was, when the state of siege was raised, sent to
the Clamor Publico, with the accompanying note to
the editor :
"TO THE EDITOR OF THE CLAMOR PUBLICO:

Sir,—We are under the necessity of begging you to
insert the following letter, which was sent to the Ileraldo,
but which the editor of that paper refused to publish.
(Signed) " JOHN MANBY.
" Madrid, June 30, 1848.
"TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALDO:
" Sir,—ln your leading article of Tuesday, the 27th
of June, which refers to the expulsion of Sir Henry Bul-
wer from Spain, we find, with astonishment, amongst
other things, the following :
" In respect to the conduct of their agent in Madrid
we appeal to the English who reside in this capital—
there are many, and amongst them not a few very re-
spectable.
" Is there one who has not declaimed against the
imprudence, the barefaced partiality, which has distin-
guished his conduct during his deplorable mission? Is
there one who has approved of the character which he
ammed, of secret agent, councillor, and protector of
conspirators:

The few English who reside in this place have much
desired to remain as before, without meddling in the
affair of Sir H. Bulwer, but, forced by the journal of
which you are the editor to appear before the public, we
are obliged to declare that the allusion made to us in the
Herald° is a most unjustifiable one, against which we
protest most earnestly, as well as against the sentiments
and opinions which the journal in question gratuitously
attributes to us.

" Have the goodness to insert this in one of your next
editions, as the necessary satisfaction to
" Yours respectfully,
" JOHN MEADE, Lieutenant-. EDWARD MANBY.

The Herald() denies that the Ministry are about to
retire, and declares that they will make no concessions
whatever to England as regards the affair of Sir H.
BULWER. Mr. LOFTUS OTwAY, the last remaining
member of the British Legation, left Madrid on the
Ist instant.
It is reported that the Carlist General ArzA.t has
been taken.

The positions of the Carlist forces on the 2d were as
foIIows—RIPALDA, a Navarrese, acting as Major-
General, occupied the left of Zuviri, a town some dis-
tance north of Pampeluna, with sixty men. Briga-
dier Zuvias (his name is the same as that of the town)
was at Zuviri with 200 men. General JOAQUIM ELIO,
under the title of General-in-Chief of Navarre and

the Basque provinces, has directed his forces, 700
strong, towards the Borunda, where it is not doubted
he will greatly increase his forces. He has issued a
proclamation stating that the principles he defends are
those contained in the manifestoes issued by Count
MoNTEaioLIN on the 23d of May and 12th of Sep-
tember, 1846.

The exportation of the precious metals from Spain
has been prohibited by the Government. No tra-
veller is permitted to take away mare than 201. in
specie with him.

A letter from the frontiers of Catalonia gives the
following account of the proceedings of CABRERA. :
" I learn that Cabrera passed the night of the 26th at
Perafita, a small town of about 800 inhabitants, in the
Province of Vich, between Barcelona and Manressa.

This celebrated partisan is attended by about 250 in-
fantry and 20 horse. They have seized all the horses
in the town which they thought fit for cavalry service.
Boquica, Castelli, Elmuchaco, and Boras are with Ca-
brera, and have about 300 men more." Another cor-
respondent of the same journal writes from Aludes on
the 2d, " Zubiri is advancing in the direction of Pampe-
luna with about 200 men; but it is said that he has been
joined by a considerable number of the inhabitants of
the villages through which he has passed. lam alto in-
formed that General Zariategui, chief of Zumalacar-
regui's staff, the man of the blontemolinist party best
qualified to erganize an army, is with Zubiri. Some
officers belonging to the garrison of Vera have joined
the insurgents."

FRANKFOUT.

The German Parliament has appointed a Com-
mittee to draw up a Bill determining the responsi-
bility of Ministers.

HANOVER.

An important meeting of merchants and commer-
cial men took place at Hanover on the 30th, for the
purpose of submitting to the Assembly of Frankfort
their views on the future organization of the com-
merce of Germany. The following points were sug-
gested:—Equality of duties; unity of weights, mea-
sures, and money based on the decimal system ;
unity of post-office and railway charges, establish-
ment of free ports and entrepots; unity of consular
organization, with the obligation of consuls to inform
commercial men of everything important in foreign
markets, and, consequently, the establishment of
statistical offices in the prii.cipal towns in Germany
for the purpose of publishing the information supplied
by the consuls.
