pay to secure the throne of Spain to the children of
his youngest son. From the following article in the
Revue des Deux Mondes, the organ of M. GUIZOT,
it appears that the protest of France is to be couched
in very "holiday and lady terms," to quote the
words of the writer. " She cannot think of throwing
out threatening words and words of defiance."
" That which is most essential," says the Revue des
Deur Mondes, "is that France in its protest shall notify
the violation of treaties, and that she point out all the
consequence which the resolution of the Northern
Powers opens to her profit. She must declare that she
reserves to herself for the future to consult only, as re-
gards those treaties, her own convenience and the neces-
sities of her policy. France will preserve an attitude of
observation. She cannot think of throwing out threat-
ening words and words of defiance. Who would wish
seriously to see in the resolution of the Three Powers a
casus belli? It is only the exaltation of parties which
can answer by a cry of propagandism to the Cracow
coup d'etat. The only reply which becomes a great
country is in the firmness with which it will practice the
policy of independence and isolation which circumstances
create for it. To be at peace with the whole world,
without entertaining enmity to any one—such ought to
be our attitude; and we shall have by that means at
least liberty of action."
The Infant Don ENRIQUE left Paris for Madrid on
Monday, having, according to the National, addressed
to Queen CHRISTINA, under the form of retractation, a
humble supplication, written under the dictation of
the Tuileries, in which he requested to be allowed to
return to the favour of Queen ISABELLA and the
mother of his august sister-in-law. This is bad
enough ; but this is not the worst. If the Esprit
Public is rightly informed, Don ENRIQUE transcends
even his brother Bourbon, the Prince DE CARIGNAC
of 1820, in baseness. The Esprit Public says—
" Well-informed persons assure us that his departure
was preceded by an act so ignominious, that in spite of
the certainty of our information, we can scarcely credit
it. This prince, as is known, held an active and confi-
dential correspondence with the leading members of the
Progressista party in Spain. It is said that he has de-
livered up this correspondence, and has betrayed the
secrets of all those who had put themselves under the
shelter of his discretion and his honour."

A magnificent fete is to be given to the Bey of
TUNIS on Friday evening by M. GUIZOT. In rela-
tion to this fete the Constittitionne/ says—
" M. Guizot has hardly had time to send out all his
invitations for the concert he is about to give on Friday
next, in honour of the Bey of Tunis, before it is an-
nounced that several members of the diplomatic body,
and among them the Austrian and English Ambassa-
dors, will not be present, because neither Austria, Eng-
land, nor the other Powers acknowledge the Bey as a
Sovereign Prince, in which light he has been received in
Paris."

The Moniteur states, that " the situation of the
department of the north, with respect to provisions,
is by no means so unfavourable as it was represented
to be two months since. It was apprehended at that
time that the wheat crop would have been one-fifth
less than in ordinary years; but it is at present as-
certained that the diminution is insignificant, and
fully compensated by the superipr weight of the
grain. This explains the succmkve,fall which has
taken place in the price of whearthroughout the de-
partment during the last fifteen days. The crop of
barley and oats is below the usual average. Potatoes
are less in quantity than last year, but that compara-
tive deficiency is fully compensated by the superior
quality of the crop of the present year."
The same official paper publishes the returns fur-
nished by the Minister of Commerce of the average
price of wheat in the different markets throughout
France during the month of November last, by
which it appears that the price of wheat was 22f.
70c. in the markets of St. Lo, Paimpol, Quim per,
Hennebon, and Nantes, being the lowest average
in France, and 34E 17c. the hectolitre in the markets
of Mulhamen and Strasburg, being the highest.
The Moniteur subsequently sti. tes that there were
imported 1,373,300 hectolitres of wheat into the port
of Marseilles between the 26th of October and the
24th of November last.

The drain for bullion on the Bank of France still
continues. It was stated on Monday that there was
only 3,200,0001. left in their coffers. The withdrawal
of the deposits from the Savings'-bank of Paris, also
continues. The amount of withdrawals during the
last week exceeded the amount of deposits by
17,000/.

The Phare des Pyrenees publishes a letter from the
frontiers of Catalonia, dated Nov. 26, which says—
. The battle which took place on the 21st between the
Royal troops and a Carlist band in the neighbourhood
of Bauolas, was rather serious. Two companies of the
regiment of Valencia found themselves engaged with
300 Carlists." " This account," adds the Phare des
Pyrentles, " which does not possess all the character of
authenticity which is desirable, is not, however, without
foundation."

According to a letter from Manreza, published in
the Emancipation, of Toulouse, a band of 200
Carlists, under the command of a son of the celebrated
PEXTOT, was at Navarelles on the 10th ult., com-
pletely armed, and with plenty of money. They, paid
for crerything they consumed.
The project of establishing a line of steamers be-
tween Havre and New York has been abandoned.
