El Pardo. (In rubric with Royal Sign Manual.)
To the Conde de Toreno.

The other news from Spain is not very important.
In the North the QUEEN'S troops have obtained
several recent victories, but they were not on such a
scale as have any material effect in putting down the
insurrection. The Ministers take everything quite
coolly, looking as unconcerned as if there was 'not a
rebel in the kingdom. The QUEEN is little beard of,
and the Urban Militia are mighty fine fellows—in the
Gazette—and the Procuradores talk each other down
about the Reglamento, and a world of other matters
equally important. As for Don CARLOS he is every-
where, and Don MIGUEL is in about twice as many
places. In short all is rumour, tall:, hearsay, nothing
and nonsense.

The Paris papers, one and all, with the exception
of the Moniteur, announce the resignation of Marshal
GERARD as quite certain, and that it has been accepted
by the KING. The sole cause assigned for this Mi-
nister's retirement from office, is the refusal of the
Council to grant a general amnesty to all persons im-
prisoned for political offences. The Journal des Dc-
bats states that the KING held a Council on Tuesday
to consult about the appointment of a successor in the
room of M. G ERARD, but that none has yet been named,
at least such nomination was not made public up to 12
o'clock on Wednesday. The part taken by Marshal
GERARD, in the question of the Amnesty, has made
him very popular in Paris, and in our opinion most
deservedly so. He maintains that enough of blood

has been shed ; that the country is now in a state of
tranquillity ; that the wisest policy is to deal leniently
with men whose offences consist of an abuse of the
right of opinion ; that they have already suffered the
just punishment of their misdeeds : and that as they
are to be tried by the Chamber of Peers, at present
extremely unpopular, the slightest appearance of harsh-

ness will lead to the total subversion of the Peerage.
It is believed that the KING would willingly
grant an .amnesty, were he not terrified lest some
of the persons now in confinement, rendered desperate
by their long and dreadful incarceration, might assas-
sinatc him. Now this is the very opinion which we
declared would sway his mind from the moment we
heard M. GERARD'S sentiments on the subject. But
is it worthy of the Council to listen to fears of this
kind ; or how was it that the KING did not think of
this before the victims of republicanism were doomed to
undergo such sufferings ? See the dilemma into which
a little wrong betrays Kings. He that is guilty of one
act of tyranny is under the necessity of committing a
thousand, to guard against the consequences of the
first. Prince TALLEYRAND is expected to arrive in
Paris next week.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Irish Government has acted with great pru-
dence in dismissing Mr. CROSS, the notorious Cork
Magistrate from the Commission of the Peace. This
gentleman, it will be remembered, was recently tried
and convicted at the Quarter Sessions for illegally hand-
cuffing the son of a respectable farmer, and was sen-
tenced in consequence to pay a fine of five pounds
to the KING, and suffer a month's imprisonment.
The Dublin Register, in which we find the account of
his dismissal, suggests that the act of justice on the
part of the Government would be complete, were
the whole of the Magistrates, who signed a pub-
lic address in favour of this notorious functionary,
doomed to share his fate. This is going too far,
but we do think the Government ,ought to place a
mark before the name of these occupants of
the Bench, and watch them closely for the
time to come. We remember a game of the
same kind being played in Ulster last year
by Colonel VERNON, on the dismissal of an
Orange Magistrate, whose wife and daughters cut a
rather conspicuous figure in the proceedings. These
matters ought to be looked to a little more closely, by
the authorities at the Castle.

Additional particulars of Wednesday's races :
First Race.—Clarence and Harum Scarum laid in front to-
getber till about 50 or 60 yards from the Judge's chair, where
the Vexation filly came from their heels to their heads. Cla-
rer.::e was beaten in two or three strides, but Harum Scarum
lasted till within two or three strokes of home, when the two
year old got the best of him, and won cleverly by half a length ;
she was claimed.

Third Race.—Trinket made the running, followed closely
by the Henrica. filly, Orpheline filly, and Sister to Forester ;
a few lengths from the cords she dropped off, the Orpheline
filly giving up as soon as they got within the cords ; the re-
mainder of the ground was left between Henrica and Sister to
Forester, the former winning very cleverly by a length : she
was claimed last Meeting for 40 sous. Vaulter and the Go-
dolphin filly were beaten off a long way.
Fourth Race.—Louisa and Cactus cut out the work nearly
the whole of the distance : about a hundred yards from the
chair Cactus fell off, and Louisa carried it on to the cords,
where Prince Llewellyn and Little Cassino went up to her ;
she lived with them for two or three strides, and they had the
rest of the race to themselves : it was won cleverly by a length
by the Prince.
Match—Nonsense cut down Colwick in the first quarter of a
mile, and won in a canter by five lengths.
The arrivals are numerous, and the two principal hotels (the
Rutland Arms and the White Hart) are quite full of general
company. The attendance is not so great as usual.
