FRENCH PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

( From Galignani's Messenger. )
The Courrier Francais has the following :—"
Se-
veral journals have indulged in commentaries upon the
quadruple alliance between France, England, Spain,
and Portugal, without being acquainted with its text,
or even with its substance. They have all differed as
to the number of articles. According to some, these
articles amount to-20, while others reckon them at no
more than 14. From information, which we have every
reason to believe to be correct, we learn that they do
not exceed seven, and are confined to the following
points :—By the first, the Queen Regent of Spain en-
gages to send troops into Portugal to drive out Don
Carlos and Don Miguel, since those two Princes had
made one common cause. By the second, the Court
of Madrid undertakes to bear all the expenses of this
expedition, and to give to the Spanish troops the same
pay as those of Donna Maria. The third relates to
engagements by England to aid in accomplishing this
result, by employing part of her navy. The fourth ar-
ticle regulates the manner in which the interference of
France should be employed, if rendered necessary. By
the fifth, the Queen Regent engages to provide an
apanage for Don Carlos as soon as he has quitted Por-
tugal. The sixth article binds the government of Donna
Maria to make a similar provision for Don Miguel, and
also to proclaim a general amnesty in favour of all the
partisans of this prince. Such we believe to be the
substance of this treaty."
The Journal des Pyrinies Orientales of Perpig-
nan, of the 26th ult., says—" Among the numerous
Spanish refugees who have recently returned into
their own country by this frontier, are General Qui-
roga, who was at the head of the insurrection in the
Isle of Leon in 1820, which led to the proclamation of
the constitution throughout the kingdom, and M. Ber-
trand de Lys, one of the most distinguished members
of the Cortes. The Count de Solar, Ambassador
from the King of Sardinia to Madrid, yesterday passed
through Perpignan, on his way to Turin."
The Sentinelle des Pgriths of Bayonne of the 29th
ult. has the following :—" On Saturday last the po-
lice of the town found in a stable in the rue des
Basques four packages, containing 2,500 cartridges,
which were intended to supply the Spanish Carlists."
On the 27th a courier from the English Ambassador
at Madrid passed through the town with despatches
for his Government. He confirms the news of the
defeat of Quesada, who is said to be much affected by
iiie disaster :—A letter of the 26th ult., from Tolosa,
says—" We are agtured that, in the section in which
General Quesada has been compelled to retreat, the
enemy also sustained considerable loss. The rebels
made reiterated efforts to get hold of Quesada's mili-
tary chest, which contained 3,000,000 reals de vellon,
but they were as frequently driven back by his artillery.
Quesada is still at Villafranca, as well as General
Butron and El Pastor."

The Helvitie of Porentruy says—" The Vorort
some time ago proposed to the governments of Bavaria
and Wirtemberg to renew those commercial relations
with Switzerland which had been suspended. No
answer whatever has yet been received from Wirtem-
berg, but Bavaria has replied that her engagements
with the great system of customs in Germany, and the
late political events in Switzerland, do not permit her
to comply with the application of the federal autho-
rities."
The Augsburg Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the
following extract of a letter of the 24th from Frank-
fort-on-the-Maine :—" We learn from Biberich that
the Duke of Nassau persisting in his declaration that
he would not give up Luxemburg, the Dutch pleni-
potentiary has been forced to send for fresh instruc-
tions from the Hague. The idea that these negotia-
tions may still have a favourable issue is not yet given
up. The plenipotentiaries will not separate before
they have come to an understanding upon certain
points, that will render the final settlement of this
question easier. The Austrian and Prussian plenipo-
tentiaries have made propositions, which may meet
with the approval of the collateral branches. Should
this be the case, we have reason to hope for a termi-
nation to the differences with Belgium." The Gazette
also states, that some friends to the anarchists of
Brussels and Lyons were anxious to create similar
disorders at Frankfort. The police, however, inter-
fered promptly and effectually. If the persons found
offending against the laws were natives, they were
imprisoned ; if foreigners, they were instantly con-
ducted to the gates of the city and banished from it.
A depst of arms had been discovered. This paper
quotes the funds atVionna on the 24th ult.,Metalliques,
5 per Cents., 97i ; ditto 4 per Cents., 87.1 ; Bank
Actions, 1,2421.
The Berlin State Gazette of the 27th ult. states,
after a letter of the 19th from St. Petersburgh, that
on the 29th the Hereditary Prince will complete his
16th year : this being considered his majority, the
Emperor intends to celebrate the event by a succession
of brilliant entertainments and public rejoicings. On
this day the young Prince will take his first oath to
the laws of the empire. The Gazette quotes Prussian
Four per Cents. 99,981.
Extract of a letter of the 21st ult. from Rome:—
" Austria has offered to furnish the Pope with all the
troops it may be necessary for him to keep on foot, for
a subsidy much less in amount than the present annual
expense of the pontifical army. This piece of economy
is strongly recommended, and it is also urged, on the
ground that the German soldiers will be more effective
than the regiments of his Holiness : an obstacle, how-
ever, to this measure would be the difficulty of dis-
posing of the present Papal troops, who might become
very troublesome."

ALLAN BnEcK.—The hero of this new
tale by the author of " The Subaltern," is a wild,
reckless character, driven to desperation by rejected
love. Hisadv9tures are very romantic, and many of
i the scenes n which he figures are of greatly exciting
interest. The period of the story is that of the 'rebel-
lion of 1745, and some of the battles and skirmishes
which took place !luring that unfortunate attempt to
restore the Stuarts are narrated in a style worthy the
military knowledge and graphic powers of the writer.
Charles Stuart, Lord Kilmarnock, and other well-
known characters of the period are introduced in the
work. " Allan Break " has great merit, and equals
any novel the past year has produced,
