Madrid papers of the 10th have been received.

The Herallo contradicts the statement made in
some of the papers of the Bth, to the effect that
Count BRESSON had already made a formal demand
of the hand of the INFANTA for the Duc DE MONT-
PENSIER. The Espanol says that at Eu, last year,
a formal understanding was come to between M.
GUIZOT and Lord ABERDEEN that the question of
the MONTPENSIER marriage should not be mooted
until the Queen of SPAIN had children, and that the
Marquis of NORMANBY had, in a very animated con-
versation, recalled the recollection of M. GUIZOT to
this circumstance, and stated that England considered
it to be an engagement binding on the French Go-
vernment. The same journal states that the English
and Austrian Ambassadors at Paris had presented a
joint protest against the marriage. In his interview
with M. GUIZOT, Lord NORMANBY is said to have
declared that his Government would consider the
affair as one of the few questions calculated to in-
terrupt the amicable relations between France and
England.
As a proof of the hatred which the Spanish people
bear to a French husband for their INFANTA, we
quote the following anecdote of the Espanol:—
" The last French courier," says the Espanol, " who
brought to M. Bresson the dispatches he so impatiently
expected, repaired to the post-office, as ho did not know
Madrid. There he asked for the French Ambassador.
The curious assembled around the post-office soon
guessed what the object of his journey was, and the
news soon spread even unto the Puerta del Sol. The
courier hastened to the French Embassy, but on leaving
the post-office he was universally hissed, and the hisses
escorted him to the Calle Mayor. The poor man, dis-
mayed by such a reception, gallopped on in double quick
time, and lost his stirrups, which mishap did but increase
the charivari. We tell the story just as it has been
told us, not that we wish to approve of an act of intole-
rance and rudeness, but to give an idea of the state of
public opinion, and of the pleasure with which Spaniards
influence."

The POPE'S license for the marriages is expected
to arrive about the 20th of this month, and the 10th
of October is the day at present fixed for their
celebration.
The announcement of the admission of Cuba sugar
into England had given great satisfaction throughout

Spain.
MADRID BOMA, SEPT. 10.—The Three per Cents,
were done at 36 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 221
the Five per Cents. at 22i; the Debt without Interest at
61; and the Coupons 214.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The Jounal, des Debats says not one syllable on
subject of the MONTPENSIER marriage, and this
silence is perhaps more significant than any of its
observations could by possibility have been. The
Opposition journals of all shades of opinion are most
strenuous in their opposition to it. The Conslitu-

tionnel says—
'° We confess that we cannot admire the chef-d'oeuvre
in diplomacy of M. Bresson—the glorious coup de ate of
our Government—the triumphant eonclusion of the mar-
riage of the Duke de Montpensier to the Infanta of
Spain. We have only one motive togive for saying
this. We shall not take any account of the obstacles
which may render doubtful or retard the accomplish-
ment of the projected union. The Liberal party in
Spain is irritated ; the Carlist party combines its angry
feelings with those of the Progressists ; the Spanish

press sees in this marriage nothing but a new
pledge of concurrence and support given by
France to the arbitrary and wilful system on which
Spain is ruled ; public opinion is excited ; and the
jealousy of the people is awakened. We have already
said that this projected alliance has produced great
emotion in England, a lively discontent in all parties,
and even, we are assured, among those who are above all
party. Many persons imagine that this movement in
men's minds in England and in Spain will cause the ne-
gotiators of the marriage to reflect, and moderate their
petulance. The following phrase in a curious arti,:le of
the Times has been remarked We suggest that the
Queen and her sister are not Siamese twins, and there-
fore need not be both marred at the same time. It
has also been observed that i❑ the official note of the
Madrid Gazette no mention is made of the time
at which the union between the Duke de Montpen-
sier and the Infanta is to be celebrated ; and this
phrase, In due time an account of this marriage
shall be rendered to the Ccrtes,' implies an
adjournment. It has already been said that the
marriage of the Infanta may be deferred until after the
first pregnancy of Queen Isabella. We, however,
shall not dwell upon these facts or these conjectures.
We will suppose that neither the agitation of two great
nations, nor the efforts of parties, nor the protests of
ambassadors, nor the notes of Governments, nor the
letters of august personages, can cool our diplomatic
love, or our matrimonial ardour. We consider the mar-
riage as settled. What will issue from it? For what
great result, for what high national interest have we
passed so many barriers, and compromised that precious
entente cordiale, so dearly purchased, and formerly so
much vaunted? The two Courts will exchange decora-
tions and favours, and no doubt there will be a double
shower of ribbons. The Duke de Montpensier will bring
his young bride to Paris, and the Royal Family will have
another amiable Princess to cherish. But will our in-
fluence in Spain be increased? Will the political results
be of any value? Let men of understanding answer these
questions. It is certain, it is self-evident, that when-
ever a question in any degree interesting to France may
be agitated in Spain, our counsels wilt be rejected on
this ground—' Beware of awakening the jealousy and
suspicions of the Spanish nation! Spare the suscepti-
bility of England! Endeavour to make our allies forget
their dissatisfaction at the marriage! Every influence
set up in Spain is an influence lost!' If any misfortune
happens to Spain, if any fault is committed by her Go-
vernment, France will have to bear her share of the
responsibility. At the same tame her influence will be
diminished, her advice will have less weight and autho-
rity. Beyond a rich dower, we cannot find that we gain
anything by this alliance; which, on the other hand,
creates many embarrassments, brings with it a new
cause for coolness between France and England, and
will, as the Times says, make the Duke de Montpensier
in Paris a Spanish Prince exiled in partibus infidelium."

The following account from the National of the
measures adopted by the French Governors of Spain
to stifle anything like the free expression of national
opinion, is by no means exaggerated :
" While waiting for Narvaez to resume the conduct of
affairs, the present Cabinet of Madrid is paving the way
for his return by an admirable system of mildness.
During the last week three Progressist journals have
been seized in the capital. Orders have been given to
keep a close eye upon those citizens of Seville who made
known their adherence to the protest published in the
Clamor Publico. The day that the petition, addressed to
the Queen against the marriage of the Duke de Mont-
pensier, appeared in the Echo, M. Bresson put himself in
a great rage. He complained to M. Isturitz that a docu-
ment so improper should have been allowed to be
printed and circulated. On this the Political Chief of Ma-
drid was summoned and reprimanded; police agents went
to all the places where the petition lay for signature, and
it was declared that every one who had placed his name
to it would be imprisoned and sent to the Philippines
without any other form of trial. The Ministry afterwards
addressed a circular to all the Captains-General of the
provinces, enjoininc, them to prevent the circulation of
the petition, and to punish with the greatest severity
the first who should sign it, in order that this warning
inip,ht prevent others from following the example that
had been set. Particular recommendations were given
to the Captains-General of Andalusia, Gallicia, and Ca-
talonia. Such are the means employed to have s sincere
manifestation of public opinion in Spain on a marriage
which is to overflow her with joy and happiness. The
journals, however, whether seized or not seized, continue
an ardent opposition against the projected union."
The Constitutionnel publishes the following intel-
ligence from the Prince DE JOINVILLE'S squadron in
the Mediterranean :—" The squadron was on the 6th
still lying in the Neapolitan harbours, and it was said
that the steamers Descartes and Asmodee would
shortly return to Toulon. A report prevailed that
the ships would not quit the Mediterranean. A
strong Ottoman division, having sailed out of the
Dardanelles, may present itself on the coast of Bar-
bary. Morocco is violently agitated, and is perhaps
at this moment the theatre of serious events. Now,
it is of importance that we should always be ready to
protect the Bey of Tuxes against the attempts of the
Porte, and to act with vigour, both by sea and land,
against Morocco, should the population of that coun-
try actually espouse the cause of ABD-EL-KADER."
Intelligence to the 9th of June had been received
from the island of Bourbon. The new Governor,
Captain GRAEB, had arrived on the 6th. The aban-
donment of the projected expedition to Madagascar
had caused great dissatisfaction. We extract the
following from the Moniteur Algerien of the 10th :
"We stated in our last that Lieutenant-General
Bedeau had left Constantina on the 21st ult., for the
purpose of chastising the tribe amongst whom was
committed the murder of the Khaid Lackhal, one of
our best servants. The last mail from the East has
brought us au account of the results of this short ex-
pedition. The principal persons of the tribe of the
Beni-Ketits have been arrested, and a fine of 55,000 f.
has been inflicted on the tribe. A fraction of the Beni-
Soughals, who, contrary to orders, had given an asylum
to the Beni-Ketits, and had received their flocks and
herds, in order to conceal them from us, have been se-
verely punished. An investigation has been commenced
with a view to discover the authors of the murder, and
give them up to justice."
The same journal gives an account of a fine having
been inflicted by the Commandant of Biskra upon a
tribe which had clandestinely received some Arabs
who had sought to evade the authority of the French.
The state of Algeria generally is described as tran-
quil, and nothing is said to corroborate the rumours
about new and important demonstrations by ABD-
EL-KADER.
A report was current at Orleansville, that Bou-
MAL,. had re-appeared in the neighbourhood.
Marseilles has joined the free-trade movement. A
Free-trade Association was formed there on the 11th.
Several of the most eminent merchants have been
appointed members of the Committee, of which M.
I.ucE, the President of the Chamber of Commerce,
has accepted the office of President.

Lord John Russell is expected to arrive at his re-
sidence in Chesham place, this afternoon, from Os-
borne House, Isle of Wight.
Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the
10th instant. Certain guerilla movements, nomi-
nally Niguelite, but really Cabralista, and which
there was reason for more than suspecting were
fomented by the Spanish Government, had taken
place in the north provinces, but had been pat down
by the Count das Antas, who, however, had deemed
it prudent to ask for reinforcements. It is said that
part of the price agreed to be paid by the Portuguese
Camarillo for the assistance of Spain in the restora-
tion of the Cabrals to power, was the vesting the
right of the navigation of the Tagus in the Spanish
Government. It is not surprising, therefore, that
Gonzales Bravo should have set at defiance the law
of nations in his endeavours to bring about this
restoration.

CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION

(THIS DAY.)
The revising barrister, Mr. T. J. Arnold, resumed the
examination of the list of freemen voters, at ten
o'clock, commencing with the Dyers', . and proceeding
through the other companies to the Loruners'.
The name of Mr. Patey, a freeman of the Furriers'
Company, was objected to by Mr. Samuel Brown (for
the Conservatives), on the ground that he did not reside
in the City, or within the prescribed limits (seven
miles of it.)
Mr. Patey, being examined in support of his claim,
stated, that he had a house in Lombard street, the
whole of which, except the c.)unting- house, was furnished
for his private residence and occupied by his family. He
had another house in Croydon, where he usually slept,
but he rt.sided also frequently in Lombard-street.
The BARRISTER said that Mr. Patey had clearly a resi-
dence in the City in the meaning of the Act, and as the
question had been decided before in other cases, he
would dismiss the objection with costs.
Mr. Spicer, a freeman of the Fishmongers' Company,
was objected to also by Mr. Brown, on the ground that
his name was not properly described.
After a prolonged discussion,
The BARRISTER said that an error in the description
of a name was not fatal to the claimant.. Under the
40th section of the Act the barrister had power to cor-
rect the error. However, as this was a point which had
not been raised before, he would not give costs in the
present case, but would do so in every future case of the
same kind.
The other cases decided this morning were of no
novelty or general interest.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

SPAIN.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The French Government has this day received a
telegraphic dispatch from Madrid, dated the 14th
instant.

The opening of the Cortes was not signalised by
any incident of importance.
The Queen went to the Cortes, and read a speech,
in which she announced her intended marriage with
the Infante Don Francisco d'Assis, as well as that of
her sister with the Duke of Montpensier.
The Cortes, it is said, received this communication
with great favour. A ccmmission was named to
prepare an address in answer to the speech. The
commission was composed of men extremely devoted
to her Majesty.
The commission will present their draft of the ad-
dress on the 15th or 16th, and it is expected to be
adopted on the spot.

It is believed that the dissolution of the Cortes will
take place on the 20th at latest. They will be con-
voked again early in Demember.—Chronicle.
