much impaired by the humidity and unwholesomeness I
of the citadel of Blaye." i

We do not envy Louis PHILIPPE and M. GUIZOT
their feelings on reading the above account. It is
seldom that a more wanton act of cruelty has been
ever perpetrated, even by absolutist and irresponsible
Governments, than the incarceration in the damp and
unwholsome dungeon of Blaye of this old Spanish
nobleman, who has been guilty of no crime, and whose
honour is untainted. This outrage reflects the deepest
disgrace on all the parties concerned in its perpe-
tration.

The French Government is concentrating a strong
force on the borders of Switzerlaid, evidently with
the intention of intervening actively in that country
to put down the spread of Liberal opinions.
The Journal de l' din of the 16th says—

"We learn to-day that the French troops have re-
ceived orders to march towards the Swiss frontier. A
battery of artillery from Lyons is to proceed—part to
Nantua, and part to Ferney, there to remain until fur-
ther orders. Two battalions of the 68th, in garrison at
Lyons, are to proceed—one to Nantua, and the other
battalion to Ges. The fort De l'Ecluse is to be rein-
forced by two companies detached from these battalions.
It is said that Austria and Sardinia are also about to
station troops on the frontiers."
M. GuizoT seems ambitious of being the M. DE
VILLELE of the dynasty of the Barricades. Already
is he adopting the traditions of the Restoration, and
the France of 1846 will soon become, under his
government, the France of 1823.
The Journal des Debats announces that the Bey
of Tuxes intends to embark on the 15th on his
voyage to France. In announcing this decision to
the French Consul-General, the BEY declared that
he was so much gratified by the benevolent solicitude
of the KINQ of the FEENCH, and so sensible of the
value of the present made to him of the steamer
Dante, that he wished to express to his MAJESTY in
person his deep acknowledgment, and to assure him
of his devoted attachment. The BEY added, that he
was most desirous of returning the visit of the French
Princes, who, when they came to Tunis, expressed
so much interest in the prosperity of his country.
The BEY communicated this intention to Sir THOMAS
READ, the English Consul, and informed him that he
would go to London, and pay his respects to her
Britannic MAMSTY.
