neighbourhood of Xeres.
The Count of MONTEMOLIN (the son of Don
CAnLos) has, it is said issued the following procla-
mation to his followers :

" It is not without a deop feelit g of grif that hi,
Majesty has learnt that meritorious ufficers of the army
who, Support with honour and 'constancy the heavy
privations of proscription, showing themselves more
zealous than prudent, have allowed themselves to be
drawn into a pombination formed of Royalists, Liberals,
and Exaltados, which is represented as being approved
of by his Majesty, whilst he has no part in it. In con-
sequence, his Majesty commands me to inform all those
who yin this combination that they act contrary to
the intentions which he has manifested and made
known on several occasions ; that they merit his so-
vereign disapprobation and incur his royal displeasure ;
that they ought to know well that all which his Ma-
jesty should order would be made to them in a sure
manner, and in such a way that the desires of his Ma-
jesty could not he misunderstood. The secret emissaries
who go through the departments and the chiefs
of another party, now on the line of the Haute Pyren
nees, preparing a movement in Aragon and in Catalo-
nia, are entirely unknown to his Majesty. They defend
different banner—they are enemies of the throne, and of
the order and prosperity of the country—they abu-e the
name of his Majesty—they suppose and counterfeit
orders and authorisations which his Majesty has ne•it.her
given nor thought of giving—they prescribe conditions
diametrically opposed to what his Majesty has ordered,
contrary to those which might serve his cause, contri-
bute to the happiness of Spain, and to the amelioration
of the positions of his defenders. "By royal order, &e..

The Spener Gazette publishes a letter from
Wladekawhas, dated July 23, which states that
SCUAMYL had, on the 14th ult., attacked the Russians,
under General WrrosKr, at Metschick, and suffered
a repulse. This, however, it must be remembered, is
a Russian account of the affair, and must therefore
not be construed exactly au pied de la lettre. The
Avgsburgh Gazette of the 18th August publishes a
proclamation, addressed by SCIIAMYL to the people of
Kabardia, recalling to them their oaths and the duty
they owe to their religion and country, and rousing
them to war against the Russians.

The Russian journals of the 13th published the
following imperial ukase, which was addressed to the
Directing Senate on the 18th July :
" It appears that the ill-disposed persons who, in the
month of February last, made attempts in the republic of
Cracow, in Posen, and in Galicia, to overthrow the existing
government, had accomplices in the governments of Willis,
Kanen, and Grodnos. We have to extend to the said go-
vernments the measures already prescribed for the main-
tenance of the public security in the kingdom of Poland and
the government of Podolia and Wolhynia, sad accordingly
declare the governments of Wilna, Kanen, and Grodnos in a
state of siege, and place them under the command of the
Prince of Warsaw, Prince Paskewitsch Erivanski, Field
Marshal and Commander-in-Chief."

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The Moniteur publishes an official account of the
reception by the KING of the deputation of the
Chamber of Peers with the address on the previous
evening. The following was the answer of his MA•
JESTY to the address:—
" Messieurs les Pairs,—l am deeply affected by the senti-
ments you express towards me in this address, and I ever
love to repeat to you how much mine respond to them.
These striking manifestations have enable me to support
most painful trials, and I find in the loyal co.-operation, the
assurance of which you again renew to me, an invaluable
pledge for the preservation of that which you justly call ' the
glorious conquests of modern civilization, the faithful main-
tenance of our institutions, and the guarantee of the rights of
all.' So long as it shall please God to prolong my life, it
shall be consecrated, with your support, to this noble end,
and to the gradual development of the happiness and pros-
perity of France."
The Chamber of Deputies was still engaged in the
verifications of the powers of the Members, and in
the deciding on disputed returns. It was supposed
that the verifications would be completed in the sittings
of Monday.
The Aational publishes the following extract of a
letter from Otaheite. It is dated Papeite, April 11 :
" Taking advantage of the absence of the Uranie,
stationed at Uahine, the Kanaks to the number of 1,200.
on the evening of the 13th, attacked the village of Pa-
-.wite and the camp pitched by the crew of the Uranie.
The camp was defended by 50 sailors of the Heroine,
who eventually beat off the enemy. The French had
ix killed and 15 wounded, among the latter a midship-
man of the Phaeton. The buildings outside the camp
vere pillaged and destroyed. The loss of the Kanaks
if not given."
The potato disease has broken out with great viru-
lence in Savoy. The Bishop of CIIAMBERItY has
ordered prayers to be offered up in all the churches
f.o avert this dreadful calamity. Incendiary fires
ill continue to prevail in every quarter of France.

public, and a new palace erected on the healthy site of that

without perhaps one farthing of expense besides what has
