SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 22d have been received. The
Espana, the organ of CHRISTINA and of the Orleans
family, publishes a bulletin dated St. Ildefonso, 20th
July, which states that her MAJESTY had passed a bad
night, but that she was rather better in the morning,
and as a proof of her MAJESTY'S convalescence, it
states that the KING drove out in the afternoon in a
beautiful carriage. The article concludes by the fol-
lowing announcement :—" The health of her MA-
JESTY does not inspire any fear." Our private letters
from Madrid, however, give a direct contra-
diction to the statement which appears in the
Espana. The QUEEN is in the most precarious state
from excessive haemorrhage, and these false bulletins
are published; by order of CHRISTINA and the Ca-
manilla, who'have made their arrangements for the
immediate proclamation of the Duchess of MONT-
PENSIER as Queen of Spain, in the event of the malady
of. Queen IsApELLA proving fatal.
The Herald® states positively that General AMETT,
LER intends tq enter Spain by the Amperdan about
the 26th, at the head of some people of the Paris
barricades. ESCOSURA'S appearance at Bayonne is
commented upon in connexion with the expected in-
surrection, which will be headed, they say, by DON
ENRIQUE an IRIARTE.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The report presented to the Assembly on the pre-
ceding day by M. TRIERS, on the Communist pro-
positions of M. PROUDIION, is the universal theme of
comment, and is spoken of in the most enthusiastic
terms by the journals of the Rue de Poictiers Club,
while he is attacked most vehemently in the Reforme,
the organ of MM. LEDRU ROLLIN and FLocoN, and
in the Bien Public, the organ of M. DE LAMARTINE.
We cannot but confess that we are both disappointed
and vexed' at finding M. DE LAMARTINE among the
coquetters with Communism. It is generally :con-
sidered that Communism will not be likely to re-
cover from the blow which M. TutEßs has dealt to
it. M. PROUDIION demanded until Saturday to pre-
pare himself to reply to M. TRIERS. The report of
this discussion appeared in the Fourth Edition of The
Sun of last evening.
The preamble of the project of the constitution,
which recognises the right to labour, has been re-
jected by 8, and accepted by 7, of the bureaux. In
many of these latter it was carried by only very
narrow majorities. The amended project will, it is
supposed, be presented to the Chamber about the
middle of August.
The project of M. POUQEARD, to convert the ex-
traordinary tax of 45 centimes and those on mort-
gages and successions into a national loan of 200
millions, has been rejected by the Committee on

Finances.
The fetes of July have been suppressed, but a
funeral service will be performed on the 29th in com-
memoration of the victims.
The Prefect of Police has determined to publish
every five days an official account of the acts of his
office connected with public order. The following
is his first report :
" Credit can only flourish by confidence, and confi-
dence itself cannot be strong without the aid of all honest
citizens, alike interested in the maintenance of order,
without which there is no liberty. Reports propagated
by malevolence hay& long kept up in public opinion an
uneasiness, the causes of which there was a disposition
to exaggerate. As a sentinel posted for the preservation
of public security, I have thought it my duty to tranquil-
lise the public mind. For this purpose I will publish
every five days a faithful account of all the facts which
occurred in that period. I hope that the exciters of dis-
turbance, and the propagators of bad news, convinced of
the impotency of their efforts, will at length renounce
the hope that they entertain of reigning by terror.
It would be too extraordinary for France, the country
of courage and honour, to be made the victim of panic.
Labour is resuming its activity in every branch of in-
dustry. On the 22d instant, of 30,992 workmen living
in furnished lodgings in the capital, 12,277 were occu-
pied in the labours of their profession. The operations
of the Mont-de-Pigki also show that the state of things
is undergoing an amelioration. The number of effects
taken out of pledge, from the 20th to the 24th instant
inclusively, exceeded that of the articles pledged. The
total of the sums lent by the establishment amounted
only to 185,140 f., whilst the reimbursements amounted
to 200,156 f. The movement of emigration which
took place after the days of June has much diminished
—it had been, besides, much exaggerated. From the
20th to the 24th of July there were delivered 2,021
passports to French citizens, and 428 to foreigners.
Of the 2,021 passports granted to natives, 519 were
gratuitous. Many were delivered for the bathing esta-
blishments. The furnished hotels and lodging-houses
have felt the movement. In the last five days 4,046
persons have arrived, whilst the number of departures
have been 4,812. The incessant surveillance of which
malefactors are the object produces its fruits. Never
were there fewer attempts against person and property.
From the 20th to the 24th there were denounced
five attempts against the person, and seven against
the property. As to the infractions of which
the correctional tribunals are cognizant, their
number is more considerable ; but that of
simple thefts and swindling does not exceed 35.
The number of ordinary prisoners was on the 20th
2,201, and on the 24th it was 3,282, which is a new proof
of the activity displayed by the police de sireti. The
total number of citizens in prison on account of the
events of June is at this moment 9,179, the highest
number yet attained. As regards the treatment which
they experience, and the attention paid to them,
it will suffice, in reply to the incorrect statements
that have been made on this subject, to say that
there have been only -two deaths in this number.
It is principally on the subject of the alarming reports
spread abroad about a new attempt at insurrection that
malevolence had been active. All the rumours were
without foundation. The subterranean proceedings
talked of have never existed. The quarries, in which
it was said that there were legions of enemies and de.
pots of arms, have constantly been explored with the
most minute care. The catacombs, which were to be
converted into mines to blow up whole quarters of the
capital, are unattackable by gunpowder, so thick is the
earth which eovers these excavations. The nocturnal
and mysterious noises, and the pretended signals, alarm-
ing passers by, have been the subject of serious exami-
nation, of an active surveillance, and in every instance a
natural cause has been found for these effects. I repeat,
therefore, that good citizens may make their minds easy
The more confidence they show, the greater will be the
chance of the diminution of disorder. We shsdl then
see our young Republic advancing with a firm step in
that course of pacific progress in which other nations
wil be eager to follow it."

FRANKFORT.

The German Parliament proceeded on the 24th to
discuss the affairs of Posen. An hour was expended
in deciding whether or not the twelve Posen deputies
who had been temporarily allowed to take their seats
in the Assembly should have the right of joining in
the debate (and the division) on this question. The
former was allowed, the latter was negatived (noes
234, ayes 182). The President evidently gave the
said deputies every possible chance.

The discussion then commenced on the report of
the Committee, and as there are 130 Deputies in-
scribed to speak, the discussion will last for some
time. The following are the recommendations of the
report : _ _

" 1. The National Assembly recognises the admission
into the Germanic Confederation of the parts of the
Grand Duchy of Posen, which, upon the proposition of
the Prussian Government, were incorporated thereinto
by the unanimous resolutions of the Germanic Diet, on
the 22d of April and 2d of May; consequently the As-
sembly admits to sit in its body the twelve Deputies
elected in those parts of the Grand Duchy incorporated
with Germany, and who have been provisionally ad-
mitted in virtue of their plenary powers. 2. The As-
sembly provisionally recognises the line of demarcation
fixed on the 4th June by General Pfuel, Prussian Com-
missary, between part of Germany and part of Poland, at
the saute time reserving to itself the right, upon a subse-
quent report of the Prussian Government, to pass a de-
finitive resolution as to the line of demarcation. 2. The
Assembly will demand from the Prussian Government a
positive declaration that while it governs the Polish por-
tion of the Grand Duchy of Poland, not only will it
guarantee their nationality to the Germans established
therein, but, further, that it will take such measures as
shall ensure it to them at a time when this Polish part
of the grand duchy shall have ceased to be under Prussian
rule. 4. As regards petitions which relate to Western
'russia, the Assembly declares to the inhabitants of this
