alarmed. General .SANZ, Captain-General of Grenada, had
joined the Cabinet as Minister of the War Department.
The ceremonies of the Holy Week commenced on the 9th.
The Quizxx, accompanied by MARIE CHRISTINA, the In-
fanta LUISA FERNANDA, the Infant Doti FRANCISCO DE
PAULO, and a numerous and brilliant suite, went on foot to
seven churches, to fulfil the seven stations appointed by the
Church. Her MAJESTY washed the feet of twelve poor per-
sons of both sexes. The QUEEN and her mother walked
between two rows of pikemen, attired in the new uniform,
which is copied from the soldiers of the Prussian army. The
whole procession was witnessed by multitudes of people, who
were very orderly. ISTURITZ, as President of the Council,
walked on the QUEEN'S right hand.
General NORZAGARAY had left for Estramadura, where he
was to replace in command of that province General AMOR,
wl•e is recalled.

The announcement made in the Paris papers of the arrival
of NARVAEZ in that city on the 15th is incorrect (indeed, it is
contradicted in the Paris papers received this morning). On
that day he was still at Bayonne.
The Madrid papers of the 9th state that the insurrection
is Galicia had been completely repressed. It is stated, that
in consequence of attempts having been made to seduce the
troops in Catalonia frem their allegiance, the Captain-Gene-
ral of the province had issued a proclamation offering their
discharge from the service and three ounces of gold to the
soldiers who should denounce the persons engaged in these
attempts.
Don Hs MY is still at Bayonne, but not under surveillance.
" There is passing," says the Courier Franfais,"at present
at Bayonne a veritable comedy, On Monday the telegraph
transmitted to the authorities of that city orders to cease all
surveillance over the Infante Don Henry, to pay him all the
honours due to his rank, and in his place to watch General
Narvaez, whose intrigues the Spanish Government, it appears,
is apprehensive of. What renders this change the more
amusing is that the police of France were set on the traces of
Don Henry at the formal demand of Narvaea."
The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 9th.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. They
are almost exclusively filled with the report of the debate in
the Chamber of Deputies on the Naval Budget on the day
preceding, and with comments on the speeches delivered on
that occasion. M. BILLAULT, during the discussion, made a
furious attack on the Government, and was replied to by
Baron DE MACKAU, the Minister of Marine, in a speech of
wiiich the Presse says—
a Admiral de Mackau ha:, not often obtained the appro..

bation of this journal. Our friends have even some-times
accused us of a spirit of hostility with respect to him. We
shall to-day prove that we have never offered a systematic
opposition to any one. We, therefore, declare that the
honour of yesterday's sitting must be awarded to the Hon.
Minister. Taken unawares, by a most aggressive speech
of M. Billault, Admiral de Mackau, whom we have again
found such as he was when he first spoke in Parliament,
met the attack with a firmness and precision, which not-
withstanding some appearance of fatigue towards the close
of his speech, constantly captivated the attention of the
Chamber. '
In the course of his speech, the Minister, speaking of the
increase in the steam navy, said :—" We have augmented
the number of those vessels; we now possess 5 of from 450
to 540 horse-power, 1 of 320, 9 of 220, 22 of 160, 1 of 150,
17 of 120 and under, and, finally, 17 trans-Atla.etic steamers;
so that, if the Chambers decide that the latter shall
belong to the royal navy, we have now at our disposal
72 steam-vessels." He concluded by announcing
his determination to maintain the number of ships of the
line at forty, and of frigates at sixty. The discussion was
resumed on Wednesday by Admiral DE HELE, who
was followed by M. THEIRS, who condemned the Ad-

ministration because it had not repaired the faults
of its predecessors. As France was a commercial
nation, it was necessary that she should have a navy, but it

,hould be remembered that France was essentially a con-
tinental power. He then compared the relative forces of the
French and English navies, and expressed it as his opinion, '
that at sea France was in no condition to compzte with
England.
It was reported in the Chamber that the Deputies would
have finished their labours by the 31st of May, that the
Peers would rise between the 15th and 20th of June, and
that a dissolution would immediately follow, so as to have
the elections in July.
King Louis PHILIPPE went, on Wednesday, to Fontaine-
bleau, to inspect the preparations ordered by him for the re-
ception of Queen Vicrortia.
The Austrian, Prussian, and Turkish Ambassadors, Lord
aid Lady COWLEY, and several English noblemen and
ladies of distinction, were present on Tuesday at a grand
dinner given by M. GuizoT to Lord and Lady PAIIERSTON.
The strike among the colliers at St. Etienne is said to be
subsiding, and there were hopes that they will return to
Work in a few days.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE is in Paris. He has taken
up his abode at the Hotel Meant ice.
The Moniteur, of the 15th, contains a royal ordonnance
appointing members of the Council of Health attached to
the Ministry of Manufactures and Commerce—M. FouLmoy,
Inspector-General of the Naval Service. of Health; M.
Mott _t, Member of the Council of Health of the Army ;
and M. Pinox, one of the Administration of the Post-office.
In expectation of the arrival of IBRAHIM PACHA at Bor-
deaux on the 18th, General FOUVIELLE had addressed the
following appeal to the National Guards of that city:—
"A Prince, an ally of France, whose military qualities
have been appreciated by our soldiers,—lbrahim Pacha, is to
enter our walls on Saturday. His Highness +All review the
regiments of the garrison of Bordeaux and Likurne on
Sunday, the 19th. To impart more solemnity to that mili-
