FOREIGN•

AcCounts, from Paris of Monday's date state' that the
people: Are. becoming more reconciled to the -talking of
the census. The Ministerial explanations, and the
pledge that no new taxes would be imposed without the '
consent of the Deputies, have quieted the public mind.,
Three-fourths of the inhabitants of Paris ha ve already.
submitted to the measure.

Queen Christina is reported in La Revue de Pup:is.. to.:
have prevailed upon the King of the French to negociate
with the Spanish Government to permit the ex-Regent
to correspond by letters with Queen Isalakla and her
sister. There can be little danger in thiS at present, as:,
Queen Christina, during her guardianship of the infant
Queen, was so regardless of her education, that the
Sovereign of Spain and the Indies cannot yet write her
name., It appears hard to restrict a mother's .corres-
pondehice with her children, but when a mother vol4o-_
tarilr divests herself of that sacred character for that 4.,
a St. de-intriguer and anti-Constitutional Revolutionist,
the v ielfare of the country is paramount to all private
individual considerations. Better a, bad mother should
shed tears than that a nation should weep blood. Ye,
however, doubt the truth of such a report altogether.
The defeat of the Whig Ministry on the Address was
known. in Paris on Sunday night. The speech of Sir
Robert Peel was 'regarded by the Court organs. as the
forerunner of more amicable relations between France
and I rAngland.
Th e projected Customs Union between France and
Belgi am is abandoned for the present.
Thee praises bestowed by the English Journals on M.
Guizot's speech at Lisieux have provoked the indigna-
tion of the French opposition Press. They will have it
that such is our hatred of France that we praise only
those ..Frenchmen who are traitors to their country.
How proud then our contemptuous disregard of them-
selves must make them ! Happy country, where a 'man
to reap the rich harvest of patriotism has only to say
" all iny neighbours detest and abuse me !"
Thet:Royel Family of France arrived at St. Cloud from
En, in Normandy, on Sunday. The King and Queen of'
the Bel gians were to follow on Monday.
Gni 23d inst. the Spanish Government withdrew
the Bil l for authorizing the sale of the islands of Aims-
bon anid Fernando Fo to Great Britain. It appears. that'
Spain.l ins found other means of meeting the demands of
the Mritish Government without alienating these islands.
Have they been supplied by France ? The French Jour-
nals c annot wonder if we ask such a question, after their
remit' ks upon the share England is supposed to have had
in coLapelling France to abandon Minorca.

Espitrtero was prevented' by illness from closing the
sessio.2 of the Cortes on the 24th inst. The Regent is
so freePlently ill, that we are surprised at his not rather
desirini to have some person of. a more robust frame
associat .ed with him in the cares of the Supreme Execu-
tive G 1 wernment. The 'war. halted for him while the
Comaunder-in-Chief of •a ki9gdom's•armies ;. but it is
of in( ire importance to the welfare of mankind wheit jus-
tice is :compelled to regulate lierniOvementS by the stop-
watch. of a Regent's physician.

Th o Candiotes complain that they have been betrayed
by th s captains of the English vessels, on board of which
they : ;ought refuge.

Th ? Grand Schariff of Mecca has sent an Envoy to
tl,e Porte, offering to submit to the Sultan if his past re-
bellio• zbe pardoned. He is at the head of 60,000 Be-
douin ,Arabs. A chief at the head of such a force may be
sure t'it.t his petition for pardon will not he cast aside
without many an anxious perusal. The Divan, in read-
ing it, w2ll feel much akin to young Gil Bias when pe-
titic►nc d for alms by the wooden-legged beggar from be-
hind a. cockad blunderbuss.,
