anarchy. In these latter years she has secured the
durability of her free institutions, by founding them
upon the basis of order. Since the reform efhcted in
her fundamental law she has become a truly constitu-
tional country—she has, in fact, a government. As
the law no longer allows citizens to organise inde-
pend-nt military corps, and thus establish permanent
revolt—as the provinces can no huger dismember the.
monat chy, and the local authorit;es can no longer place
themselves above the Central Government, and scatter
to every extremity of the kingdom the fragments. o
the executive power, from this day a representative
any! constitutional Governors nt is founded in Spain,
upon regular, solid, and natural bases. 'I his is a work
which undoubtedly can never be accomplished in a day
—Spain has undoubtedly still to pass through many
trials Ilefore she can reach the end; but she is well on her
way—she must march forward rapidly—and France will
now have greater interest in encouraging- and supporting
her in her endeavours. It is a great advantage to
France to have acquired new points of contact with a
country in which order is being daily more and more
consolidated, and in which nothing is wanted but
order to bring forth all its immense resources. Com-
merce will naturally follow in the same path as its policy,
and Spain must necessarily become one of the most vast
and viluable marts for the produce of France. But this
is nut meant to indicate that France has either the
pretension or the desire to exercise an exclusive influ-
ence over Spain, or to take advantage of her natural
means of action, to exclude the interests of other coun-
tries. Even wli n most intimately connected with us,
Spain will not the less retain her lull freedom of action
towards her other allies, and will continue to be com-
pletely independent in a!1 her relations. Fiance seeks
only to draw more closely in Spain those bonds which
are rendered natural and indispensable by proximity of
territory, by historical tradition, by relationship of
sovereign families ; but she does not aspire to create for
herself, in any other respect, any species of monopoly,
or any exclusive preponderance."

The Debats next maintains, that although the re-
vival of the family compact is not thought of, the
marriage between the INFANTA and the Duke DE
MONTPENSIER is of great " dynastic interest," since
it sheds fresh lustre and éclat on the house of
ORLEANS, and is another step towards uniting the
great BOURBON family, now occupying three of the
first thrones in Europe. The first step towards this
reunion was the recognition of the Queen of SPAIN
by the King of NAPLES ; the next the marriage of
the Due D'AUMALE with a Neapolitan Princess; and
the third the marriage f the Due DE MONTPENSIER
with the Infanta of SPAIN.

A free-trade association is about to be established
at Lyons.
The Due DE MONTPENSIER, who is to be imme-
diately created a Major-General, has arrived in Paris.
The Prince DE JOINVILLE was expected at Rome,
charged with a special mission to the POPE from King
LOUIS PHILIPPE.

The account of the expulsion of the French from
Otaheite, which was published a few days since, is
contradicted by the Journal du Havre. The last
accounts from Otaheite were to the effect that some
hostilities had taken place, but that the natives had
been repulse 3, and a piece of cannon captured from
them.

The accounts from Algiers are up to the sth.
The country was tranquil, but in the neighbourhood
of Constantina a caid, named LAKIIAL, distinguished
for his partiality to the French, had been set upon
by a large number of Arabs and shot, and his mules,
horses, and baggage taken off. llis attendants fled
at the moment of the attack. According to the
Ahbar, a French envoy had arrived at Tangiers, to
treat with ADD- EL-KADER for an exchange of pri-
soners.

The Courrier Francais says :—" An order has, it
is said, been sent by telegraph to General DE BAR,
Governor of Algeria ad interim, to prepare an expe-
ditionary body of 5,000 men to enter upon a cam-
paign immediately after the return of Marshal
BuGEAUD."
