that had such a warning proceeded from any one else, he
should have attached no importance to it, while he
did as coming from such a source, but that, never-
theless, he must remain faithful to his convictions.
Dr. CLAIRVAZ, however, ever after; avoidni tflag
out at night, and his assassins, tired of waiting,
have endeavoured to murder him in his own house. The
exertions of the police to detect the culprits have been un-
successful. Perhaps this would not have been the case if the
victims had belonged to the party of the clergy. It is to be
hoped, however, that Canon RIVAZ who so charitably
warned Dr. CLAlnvaz will enlighten the officers of justice

Madrid papers of the 17th have been received.

The Tieinpo declares that Don Lxoscro ROBIN DE CELLS,
the chief of the late insurrection in Galicia, has been assas-
sinated in Portugal by his own followers. The report,
however, stands in need of confirmation. The late
editor of the Espectador, Don FRANCISCO LABRADOR,
has been arrested at Cadiz, by order of the poli-
tical chief, and sent to Seville a prisoner. The Grand
Duke CONSTANTINE arrived at Algesiras on the 9th, and
without waiting to land, sailed immediately for Ceuta.
Orders had been sent to VILLALONGA to stay the execution
of the decree of barishinent which he had issued against the
Countess MINA. An army of 18,000 men is assembled at
Valladolid, to furnish garrisons for the towns through which
the QUEEN will proceed on her way to the baths of Santa
Aguada.

General NA.nvAEz and the Infante Don ENRIQUE were both
at Bayonne on the 20th.

at 200.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday.
The discussion on the Budget of Expenses still continued
in the Chamber of Deputies. On Friday the discussion com •
menced on the Budget of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Among the credits demanded was one of 60,000 francs for a
Consul at Calcutta. M. L'llxs.norrx objected to demanding
an exequatur for this Consul from England, because England
had not demanded an exequatur for her Consul at
Algiers, and that it would be impolitic by demanding an
exequatur from the Calcutta Consul, to recognise the
English conquests in India, unless England, by making a
similar demand for her Consul at Algiers, recognised the
French conquests in Africa.

M. GUIZOT, in reply, first proved the necessity of esta-
blishing a Consul at Calcutta by the following statement :
"French commerce with the East Indies is progresively on
the increase; thus in 1839, our commerce, including
both imports and exports, which amounted to about
19,000,000, arose in 1844 to 39,000,000 ; our own
special commodities, which were but 18,000,000, rose
to 36,000,000 ; and our ships entering Calcutta
amount, in 1844, to 45. I hold in my hand the
opinions of assurance companies upon the good re-
sults which have been derived from Consuls-General, and
expressing a desire that a Consul-General should be settled
in India, giving to Culcutta the preference. The Minister of
Marine also expresses his regret that our ships did not find
the necessary succour at Calcutta, owing to the want of a
French representative. He thought 60,000 francs the least
that could be allowed a Consul-General living at Calcutta,
and he did not think there need be any apprehension that
on such a salary he could rival the luxury of the officers of
the Indian Company."
On the subject of the exequatur he said—

"England had not yet occasion to ask for an exequatur
for her Consul at Algiers, because no new Consul had been
established in that residency since 1830; but whenever such
a new appointment should be made, either England should
demand an exequatur, or the Consul would not be permitted
to reside at Algiers."

On Saturday the Commission of Peers heard the report of
M. FRANK CARRE in the case of LECONITE. It will be read in
the public sitting of the Court on Tuesday. The trial is
expected to commence on the Bth of June.

Accounts from Algiers of the 17th state that Marshal
BUGEAUD had entered the mountains, and that at his ap-
proach the Kabyles had fled. The Courrier Francais says
that the retirement of Marshal BUGEAUD from the govern-
ment of Algiers has been decided on, and that General SE-
BASTLA.NI will be his successor. Other accounts state that
the government of Algeria is destined for the Due
D'AUMALE.

There are eighteen companies who intend tobid for the con-
cession of the Lyons and Avignon Railway. The capital of the
Talabot Company is the highest, amounting to 140,000,000
francs ; that of the Debeaume Company is 120,000,000 f.
All the other companies, with the exception of that of Lecointe,
had fixed their capital at 110,000,000 f.; the latter only
demanded 80,000,000 f. The deposit claimed by those
companies was 50 francs per share of 500 francs. The Griolet
and Chastellux Companies required 100 francs. The
amount thus paid into the hands of these companies is esti-
mated at 110,000,000 francs; and when the definitive shares
shall have been distributed, after the fusion, the surplus re-
maining to be reimbursed to the shareholders will be about
75,000,000 francs.
