gal, received the day before yesterday, from the hands of the
Queen, the grand cross of the order of Charles 111. The same
has been granted to Don Ramon Geraldo, the senior of the
Spanish Magistracy. Muskat Saldanba is on the point of
leaving this city to return to Lisbon.
Baron Mortier, the French Ambassador in Switzerland, has
arrived at Paris.

Great interest is felt at Alexandria respecting the person
who may be cho,en to succeed M. Cochelet as Consul Gene-
ral. We know here that. Mr. Roman Chabot is to succeed
him. We doubt whether he will be thought at Alexandria to
possess the necess.lry qualifications. " Whoever may be the
pei son sent," says a letter to us, "we hope that the Govern-
ment will feel the necessity of sending a man versed in com-
mercial affairs. The moment is come when it is more needful
than ever for France to have a Consul able to discover and
tin n to account all the resources which this country may open
to commerce."—Le Commerce.

Belgian and German Journals, the former of
Wednesday's date, were received yesterday morn-
ing. The following extracts from them include
all the news they contain of any interest :
AN TW 211 P, Al.tn.cn 3.—We are assured that within these
few days orders have been given to the officers on the frontier
to hinder foreign workmen of every description from entering
Belgium. Title who tray come by sea are to be sent back by
the first opportunity. We find it difficult to believe that the
Government can have taken such a measure, which is quite
arbitrary, and if it should be taken might lead to the dismissal,
by way of reprisal, of the great number of Belgian workmen
now employed at Paris, London, &c.
Buussta.s.—Mr. eter, editor of the Tolk der Vryheid, a
Groningen journal, who has been condemned to four years' im-
prisonment, has sought refuge in Beleiutn.
The Minister of Finance informs the public that from this
day the intereit of the Treasury Bonds of 1,000 francs and
above is fixed as follows --.

Of one year's date 3i per cent per annum.
Of six months' date 3 ditto
Of three months' date 2 ditto
Faom THE UKRAINE, FEB. 3.—The Commander of the
regiment of the 4th division of Cavalry, ',stationed in the Go-
vernment of Kiew, has received orders to increase the number
of their baggage-waggons from 32 to 48. We hear that all
applications to be discharged from the service are refused by
the Minister of War, and many young men have been unex-
pectedly promoted to the rank of officers. All these circum-
stances indicate the possibility of war, and have greatly ex-
cited the hopes of the army. Hitherto, however, no particular
preparations are observed here ; the Russian army is so admi-
rably organized that it can be ready to take the field in a shorter
time than any other. It is said that in March a great expedi-
tion will be undertaken against the mountaineers of the Cau-
casus, in which one officer from each of the regiments can-
toned in this country will take part as a volunteer.—Silesian
Gazette.

FRONTIXRS OF TUREiIr, FY*. la.... Accounts from Con •
stantinople say that the numerous enemies of Redsehid Pacha
are still indefa•igably intriguing to overthrow him. His most
determined onponents are Haiti Pacha, the Sultan's brother-
in• Riza Pacha, the Member of the Imperial Household,
and Sarim Bey, formerly Ambassador in London, and lately in
Persia. He left his post without orders; but to keep him at
a di,tance from Constantinople, instead of being called to
account, he was appointed Deftordar at Aleppo. This did n.t
hinder him from coming to the capital to intrigue against Red-
sehid Pacha. It is affirmed that Sarim has very powerful pro-
tection, and the great forbearance shown towards him seems to
confirm this statement. If the disgrace of Red,chid Pacha is
decided on by the Sultan, there is little probability of saving
him, notwithstanding all the intervention of the Diplomatic
Body in his favour.
