at 41 do, the Legitimatist France sneeringly observes—
" It will be remarked that M. Guizot, while proclaim-
ing the violation of the treaties of 1815, while protesting
against the annexation of the republic of Cracow, care
fully guards his words from bearing the character of a
menace. Supple and polite in his ill-humour, he de-
plores in lengthened terms what has barn done; he sighs
heavily over the scattered fragments of the treaties of
Vienna ; but his despair does not lead him se far as to
be willing to declare that he also is freed from these con-
ventions. His courage fails him when he draws to a
conclusion, and says what France will do in face of these
violated treaties of 1815. If, then, ss everything tends
to make us believe, the protest of M. Guizot is con-
ceived in the same spirit as his circular note, the French
Government must have greatly modified its violent atti-
tude."'

The National of Friday was seized at the Post-
office ; why, it professes to be unable to tell. Pro-
ably, however, it was on account of an article on the
Spanish elections, in which it stated that CHRISTINA,
alarmed by the attentions paid to the Count DE
MONTEMOLIN in London, was anxious to enter into
some sort of compact with the Progressistas, as it
was felt that if a Carlist outbreak should take place,
BRESSON and Mos would be found insufficient.
The Arab prisoners, who were to have been ex-
changed, have been returned to their prison in the
Ile St. Marguerite.
The Constihttionnel says--
" M. Barbet de Jouy, the French Consul at the Mau-
ritius, whose recent dispute with Admiral Dacres has
been made known, is said to be about to be removed to
Honululu, in the Sandwich Islands, a newly-created
consulship. It is stated that among the papers of the
Nfinistry there has been found an application for a
change made by M. Barbet himself before the affair oc-
curred at the Mauritius."
We also find in the same paper the following:-
" The British Government has lately received in-
formation, from its agents on the western coast of Africa,
of a frightful occurrence, which, however, is not novel in
the annals of slavery. A negro chief having 2 000 slaves
upon his hands, and being unable to dispose of them, had
them all killed before his own eyes. The French Go-
vernment has also been made acquainted with this hor-
rible massacre. We are assured that the Cabinets of
London and Paris have resolved to join in punishing
with severity the cruel chief."
The Presse states that Oporto has been taken by
the QUEEN'S troops.
