FRENCH PAPERS OF MONDAY.

The Moniteur contains a report, dated the 28th ult.,
addressed to the King by Marshal Gerard, as Minister of
War, which, after referring to a Royal ordinance for modi-
fying, the organization of the committees of artillery, forti-
fications, infantry, and cavalry, proposes the persons to form
the respective committees. The report bears the Royal
sanction, and is followed by an ordinance relative to the
organization of the said committees.

The Tenzps, referring to the difficulties Ministers find in
filling up the vacancies occasioned by the resignation of
Marshal Gerard, says—" One man alone seems to be in-
dicated by the force of things and by sound logic, as an in-
ference from the system hitherto pursued. The necessity
of that man is so well understood, that the Doctrinaires
would be glad to be again associated with him. That man
is lie whom they previously excluded from the War Depart-
went, but .he is the organizer of the irmy, which they con-
sider as a more firm support than public opinion or the con-
currence of the Chambers. The return of Marshal Soult
would inevitably cause the removal of M. Thiers."
The Sentinelle des Pyrenzaies of the 30th ult. says—.
" General Mina returned the day before yesterday to
Cambo, whence he yesterday set out for Spain. It is ex-
pected that he will enter by Urdach and Elisondo, where
General Lorenzo now is with his division, amounting to
3,000 or 4,000 men. A convoy of 400,000 francs yester-
day proceeded in the same direction, escorted by the Chas-
seurs, and by Captain Garcia, an ex-aide-de-camp of Rodil.

of the staff of General Mina, as envoys of the

Extract of a letter from Bayonne, dated the 28th ult_.:---
" General Oraa, with a column of 5,000 men and 200
horses, quitted Berrie Plaine, a league trom Pampeluna, on
the 20th, and marched in pursuit of Zumalacarregui, who
was at Oyon, a league from Logrono, with five battalions
of Navarrese, two of Alavans, two of Guipuscoans, and
three of Biscayans. Don Carlos himself was with this di-
vision. General Arnor, who occupied Logrono, made a
sortie on the 21st, but suffered himself to be surprised by
Zumalacarregui, had 120 men killed and 180 wounded ;
and was forced to retreat, after a desperate and*bloody con-
flict. The Carlists had 50 killed and 120 wounded. We
learn that the whole of the Queen's forces, with the excep-
tion of General Lorenzo's column, have moved towards Lo-
grono, and that Zumalacarregui has taken the direction of
Santa Cruz de Campezu."
The Saragossa Gazette, of the 23d ult., has the follow-
ing report from Jose Maria Espelosia to the Captain-Gene-
ralpursuit of the rebel Coneta. When I arrived
At five o'clock this morning, I left the village of
I learned that he was at Piedrahita. I hit-
naßiteaddCiu°ailletesaldyiinesei out with 25 grenadiers, of the 13th of the
line, and 25 fusileers of Arragon, in order to occupy the
road which leads from Monforte to Piedrahita ; 14 lancers
of Isabella, and 25 of the Saragossa National Guard, re-
mained at Colladico. I had scarcely taken my positions,
when all the insurgents came in haste from Colladico. An
engagement took place, when they lost five killed and four
prisoners, who will be shot to-morrow."
The Augsburg Gazette of the 30th ult. has the following
from Constantinople of the 10th :—" The plague continues
to make great ravages. The diplomatic body has no longer
any direct communication with the Turkish authorities,
and the utmost caution is observed in their indirect commu- ,
nications. The armaments still continue, and many de-
tachments of troops are sent off to Asia. Redschid Pasha,
of Suias, has assembled a corps of 60,000 men near Ko-
niah. A short time since he captured a party of Ibrahim's
troops who had crossed the frontiers of Adana. Redschid
seems to have it in contemplation to put an end to the great
oppressions of which the Arab garrisons are guilty towards
the Syrians. Upwards of 50 persons were executed, by
order of Ibrahim, in Tarables, for not having immediately
given up their arms, which all the Syrian population is re-
quired to do. From this circumstance one may imagine
the state of public opinion in Syria, and how much the re-
storation of the Porte's dominion is desired. The presence
of Redschid Pacha, on the frontiers of Syria, with a consi-
derable force, naturally gives uneasiness to Ibrahim, who
has acquainted his father that so long as the Turkish troops
remain there he cannot answer for the tranquillity of Syria.
Mehemet Ali has, in consequence, required the Porte to
withdraw the troops, and discontinue its warlike prepara-
tions, otherwise he will declare his independence, and will
consider his late treaty with the Porte as null. He has
communicated this act to the European Consuls resident at
Alexandria, with a request that intelligence thereof may be
conveyed to their respective Courts."
The Gazette quotes the funds at Vienna,, on the 25th
ult. :—Metalliques Five Cents., 99 15-16ths ; ditto Four
per Cents., 92i ; Bank Actions, 1,299.
A letter from Vienna of the 22d ult. has the following :
" The scarlet fever, which prevailed in the environs of
Schoenbrunn, induced the Royal Family to proceed imme-
diately to the imperial palace at Vienna. The Prince Royal
of Bavaria is travelling in several parts of the monarchy ;
after his return, he will remain some time at Vienna. Next
winter the Prince of 3olerno is expected here with his wife.
The Austrian troops assembled near Thural are the admi-
ration of foreigners. In an unexpected call upon Field-
Marshal Manzuchells, only a quarter of an hour was re-
quired for drawing up 30,000 men in battle array."
The -Berlin State Gazette of the 28th ult., has the fol-
lowing from Stockholm of the 21st:—" Yesterday being
the anniversary of the King's arrival in Sweden, his Ma-
jesty granted a general amnesty for political offenders ;
Captain Lindeberg was therefore immediately set at liberty,
The King received in private audience Prince Menzikolf,
the Aide-de-Calm (Ifthe Em, ergr of Russia, who delivered
to his Majesty au autograph letter from the Emperor.*

Letters from Toulon of the 28th ult. state, that the sloop

Iris has received orders to be in readiness to receive def.-
patches for M. Lalonde, Commandant of the French divi-
sion in the Levant, and Admiral Roussin, Ambassador at
Constantinople.
The Rouen journals announce the arrival in that town of
M. Isouard, delegated by the Minister of Commerce to
ascertain the extext of the injury which would be sustained
by the coal mines of Anzin and St. Etienne, should the duty
on English and Belgian coals be reduced. M. Isouard at-
tended a meeting of the several different manufacturers, the
greater part of whom declared that the injury would be
scarcely perceptible. The manufacturers drew this conclusion
from the fact, that the coal from, Anzin and St. Etienne
amounted to scarcely one-twelfth of their whole consumption,
and that the produce of Anzin formed a very small part
of even that twelfth ; and that as to St. Etienne coal, it
could not suffer from a competition with Newcastle coal,
since at present, though the latter cost from if. 50c. to 2f.
the hectolitre more than the other, it was in such great re-
quest for certain purposes, that, even with this additional
cost, there was at times not sufficient to supply the demand
for it, and in that case the manufacturers preferred the coal
from Mons. M. Isouard is to pursue his inquiries at
Bolbec and Havre.
The Consultative Chamber of Commerce at Valenci-
ennes has replied to the inquiries of the Minister of Com-
merce respeetihg the mawasiGures of ....;;Zlen and cotton
goods, plated ware, glass, pottery, and earthenware, that
there are no manufactories of woollen or cotton goods or
plated ware in their arrondissement, bat they joined in the
general opinion that the prohibitions should be removed,
and that the higher import duties should be reduced, in
order to put an end to, or at least diminish, that system of
smuggling which had so completely demoralized the inha-
bitants of the frontier.
A report having been circulated that M. Kcechlin had
resigned his post as President of the Chamber of Commerce
at Mulhausen, he has addressed a letter to the Courrier du
Bas Rhin contradicting the fact, but stating that he had ,
requested the Chamber that another delegate to the Su-
perior Council of Commerce may be appointed in his room,
in order that he might be at liberty, in due time and place,
to support his opinions in favour of a repeal of the prohi-
bitions which he had long considered necessary to reconcile
the interests of the manufacturers with the general interests
of the country.

The Municipal Council of Verneuil has just been dis-
solved. The majority of the council was in opposition to
the mayor, M. de Villete.

THE PARLIAMENTARY RUINS.

Yesterday another labourer was buried under the ruins,
while the men were engaged in pulling down the high walls
of the Commons' library. Fortunately, however, he was not
under quite so much rubbish as lacerated the poor fellow
who was killed at the same spot on Friday last, so that by
prompt proceedings the workmen were enabled to dig him
out. He was found to be still alive. He was placed in a
cart, and forthwith carefully conveyed to Westminster Hos-
pital, where the most skilful attentions were extended to
him. He lives, but is much beaten and bruised, and no
doubt is entertained that he will survive.

It is feared that the losses at the Commons' library will
turn out to be more extensive than was at first expected. It
consisted of two floors. It was thought that all of those
books on the lower floor, where members used to sit to read
and to consult the works, were saved, although it was known
that all those on the upper story were destroyed ; it is now
apprehended that between 4,000 and 5,000 volumes are
lost. It may be remembered that an interchange of Par-
liamentary works recently took place between the Cham-
bers of France and those of England: out of upwards of
1,500 volumes forwarded to the Commons, handsomely
bound, very few are preserved. The rest are known to have
been burnt ; those sent to the Lords are safe.
The chief girders, &c., for the roofs of the old House of
Lords and the Painted Chamber are now on the walls, and
iron girders are being placed in the stone building of the
Commons.
