and provisions into Belgium until the Ist October next,
and giving the Government power to extend such autho-
risation to the Ist December, should it be deemed re•
quisi te.

A private letter of the date of the 14th May, which
has been received from Lisbon, says that the accounts
from the provinces are not of so favourable a nature as
the official journals of the 13th would fain induce the
Public to believe, and that such is the excitement exist-
ing in Coimbra, that the Government, as a measure of
precaution, has closed the University.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Berlin,
which states that the protocol of August 15th, agreed on
between the commissioners of the conference of the three
protecting powers relative to the measures to be taken
concerning Cracow, had received the sanction of the
King of PitussrA on the 16th. The exchange of ratifica-
tions was to take place shortly.
According to the Vienna correspondence of the Uni-
versal German Gazette of the 23d, a conspiracy had just
been discovered at Rzezow, and several persons arrested.
It is said thit the conspirators had plotted the murder of
all the officers of the garrison.
From the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort we learn that
Russia has again applied to the Porte to prevent Turkish
subjects from assisting the Circassians.

Madrid papers of the 20th have been received.
M. MON was sufficiently recovered to resume the ac-
tive discharge of his duties. Public works, the esti-
mated expense of which will be 84,791,370 reals, are to
be immediately undertaken. They relate principally to
the formation and improvement of high roads. The
Minister of the Interior has sent to the Director-
General of the Public Works a list of the works to be un-
dertaken.

The Tiempo publishes a letter from Orense on the sub-
ject of the murder of Don Rusur DE CELIS, at Oporto.
That unfortunate officer was not assassinated by the
companions of his flight from Galicia, but by two Por-
tuguese, who had been hired to commit the act by persons
of high station who would have been compromised by the
disclosures which Don Runizi had threatened to make.
These persons, it is said, had urged Don RUBIN to com-
mence an instu rectionary movement, and had then aban-
doned him.

The Heraldo states that General Pure SA3IPER has
been ordered to Corunna, to be tried for breach of
duty in not being sufficiently active in putting
down the late insurrection in Galicia. The same jour-
nal complains of the great extent of the contraband
trade carried on with Gibraltar, and calls the attention
of the Government to the subject. We fear the worthy
writer in the Her aldo has yet to learn his first lesson in
political economy, or he would know that the
only way to put a stop to smuggling is
so to reduce the import duties on the articles
smuggled as to enable the fair trader to compete in the
market with the contrabandist. The heavy import du-
ties of Spain are as great a protection to the en-
couragement of the smuggling interests of the
country as the heavy import duties on corn
(now happily about to cease for ever) in England, have-
been a protection of, though not an encouragement to,
the landed interest in England.
There is no quotation of the prices of Spanish Funds
in these journals.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The meeting of the Court of Peers to receive the re-
port of M. FRANK CARRE, in the case of LECONTE,
which was to have taken place on that day, was post-
poned to the day following.
The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Monday
with the discussion of the Budget of Expenses of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. Various questions were
put by different Members of the Opposition on the sub
ject of the foreign relations of France. With re-
gard to French settlements on the Gambia
M. GUIZOT said, that the only point at issue
between the English and French Governments was
to regulate the right of France to pass the waters of the
Gambia to get at, her possessions. He thought a spe-
cial convention would be the most advisable method of
regulating this matter ; the same opinion prevailed, in
London, and the subject was under the consideration of
the two Governments. The Chamber voted the Budget
without a division.

"There is some idea," says the Presse, "of the speedy
nomination of General Tiburce Sebastiani to the command of
the National Guard of Paris, in place of General Jacque-
minot, who, it is said, has asked leave to retire, on account
of his health. It is also said that General Baron de Lascours,
now in command of the Lyons division, is to be appointed
to the command of the first military division, its place of
General Sebastiani."

The population of Arriege is in a state of the greatest
misery in consequence of the failure of the potato and
maize crops.

Algiers journals of the 20th have been received in
Paris. The following appears in the Moniteur Algerien
of that date :

" The Governor-General, on his arrival in the Ouarensenis,
immediately proceeded against the hostile populations as-
sembled in the ravines surrounding the principal mountain.
It may be remembered that it was in these retreats that the%
had collected n the occasion of our first invasion towards
the end of 1842. The march of Colonel St. Arnaud on the
Oued-el-Ardlem had been ordered with a view to cut off
their passage when the Marshal's troops shall have driven
them from their positions. General Yusuf, after his affair of
El-Gliarza, found himself obliged to desist from his pursuit
of Abd-el-Kader, to obtain provisions. On the 7th inst, hay
ing joined the Duke d'Aumale at the camp of El-Brida, he
again left his Royal Highness to enter the Djebel-Atnour,
where his adversary had taken refuge; but, understanding
that the Emir had retreated much farther west near Stit-
ten, he determined to stop short in the Djebel-Amour, and
there strengthen our authority. The chief of these moun-
tains, Djelloul, whose conduct has been exceedingly suspi-
cious, did not come to the French camp, pretending that he
was ill ; but all the populations have placed themselves in
our power. They have been subjected to a fine of 28,000 f.
and 3,000 oxen, which was paid at once. These cattle are
intended to furnish provisions fur the province of Algiers,
where much want his been felt for some time past. General
Yusuf intends profiting by the complete prostration into
which all the southern tribes have fallen to go and collect
from the Ouled,Nayls the large fines which they deserve to
have impo:ed on them. Letters which arrived last evening
from the Marshal's column, announce that his operations arc
proceeding most successfully. Neither Hadj-Seghrir nor
Bou-Maza have been able to organise any serious resistance,
and the tribes were submitting without striking a Llov.
There is, therefore, reason to hope that this expedition .v
be completely terminated, and the Marshal back at Algiers
by the beginning of June."
