FRENCH _ PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France of Sunday.)
PARIS, FEB. 23.—Letters worthy of credit, which
have been received to day from Madrid, announce pc•si-
tively that the Portuguese Government having given sa►is-
factory explanations respecting the cannon shot fired
against a French vessel at the entrance of the Tagus, this
affair may be con4lered as terminated. Nothinz now
r. mains to be arranged but the affair of the Alcyon,
which was sunk at the entrance of the Douro. A con-
viction prevails at Madrid that an agreement between the
c:intending parties will be speedily tff-eted, which will
put an end to all pretexts for attacking the Government
of Don Miguel.

The mission of Sir Strathird Canning has oompletely
failed. The Spanish Government has refused to second
the views of the British Cabinet, and M. Zea, whose cre-
dit Lord Palmerston wished to ruin, appears likely to
remain for a long time at the head of the Spanish Cabinet.

are in the road, and ready to put to sea on the shortest

with Count Appony, at the hotel of the Austrian ligation.
The Count d'Espagne, ex-Captain General of Castille,
who escaped from the Wand of Majorca, arrived on the
25th of Jinuary at Turin, where he will probably recom-
tnence his apostolic intrigues.

VIENNA, Fan. is reported here that the Roman
States will be shortly evacuated both by our troops and
by the French. It seems, at least, that those known by
the name of Frontier Regiments, will have orders to re-
tain to Croatia, Srlavooia, and the Barmat of Temeswar.
It is said also that the regiments in Bohemia will he placed
on the peace establishment.
The Augsburg Gazette, of February .20, contains a
letter from Constantin pie of the 26th of January,
which is not so late by fair days as the news previously
received at Vienna by express. This letter says—" The
hopes of peace are vanished ; Ibrahim has left Koniah,
and is advancing towards Brussa. He has broken off the
negotiations, and rejected the counter-project sent him by
the French Charge d'Aff.ires, in reply to his proposals for
a treaty. He demands the arceptance of those proposals
without modification, to which the Sultan seems not in-
clined to accede, since, having convinced himself of the
good intentions of France and England, and knowing that
General Muravieff is at Alexandria, he does not think the
danger so urgent. We hope he may not be deceived ; the
capital is well disposed, but the inhabitants of Asia Mi-
nor are for the Arabs. Ibrahim has contrived to revive the
ancient spirit of the Janissaries, and gain the good will of
the people, to whom he makes splendid promises, not forget-
ting to gain the great men by corruption. He affirms that he
must obey his instructions, and insist on the conditions de-
manded by his father. The substance of these conditions
is not known, but the Sultan has rejected them. We do
not fear for the capital. Ibrahim will nut attack it, and,
in case of need, a Russian fleet will come to its aid ; but
he will get possession of all Asia, and the Porte, depending
on the hope of assistance, has not yet done anything to
check his progress. We cannot tell whether it is politic
in Ibrahim to push matters to the utmost, and draw on
his father a ruinous interference of the great European
Powers. But it may be remembered that he caused, by
his obstinacy, the disaster at Nava: in, at a time when he
was not as he now is, puffed up by his victories."

We understand that an address to Mr.
Hung has been got up here, thanking him for his motion
relpecting the abolition of the naval and military sine-
cures, and that it ham received numerous signatures.—
Aberdeen Herald.

Some stir is already making in the borough of
Marylebone, in anticipation of the promotion of Sir W.
HORNE to the bench. Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY'S Com-
mittee is in active operation; and Sir PETER LAURIE
may be said to have taken the field. Besidts these, it a
whispered that GEORGE AINSLIE YouNo, Eq., of Por-
land-place, will be called upon to accept their support, II
a great number of electors, including much of the hberali y,
respectability, and influence of the borough. We re-
member that Mr. YOUNG took a very active part in the
late election, as Chairman, we believe, of Sir WILLIAM
HORNE'S Committee.

CLONMEL MEETING.—On Thursday, pur-
,o,flat to a requisition which appeared in the Free Press,
the spirited inhabitants of Chinni,' assembled at the Or•
mond Hotel, to record their unequivocal detestation of the
Bill introduced into the House of Lords by Earl Gam', an
to petition the Legislature against the unconstitutional,
unjustifiable, and atrocious enactment. We are pleased to
state that we have scarcely ever attended a public meeting
more highly distinguished for its peaoeabil ty, harmony,
itetermination, and expression of firm and unflinching
perseverance than that. JOHN LUTHER, Esq., was called
to the Chair.—Tipperary Free Prue.

One of the most interesting of the works of
M. PAUL DE Koca, " Jean," has just been published,
under the title of " The Modern Cymon." This writer,
though almost unknown in England, has given to the
world some novels, which will bear comparison even
.Pith those of Sir WALTER. SCOTT. It is intended to
translate the best of them. One cd peculiar interest is in
'he press, translated by Mr. CIIARLES CLYATT.
The Cumberland Assizes commenced at Car-
lisle on Tuesday last. We have not heard of much busi-
ness of importance. One or two civil causes which were
expected to come on, of considerable local interest, have
been withdrawn, and the calendar is very light.—
Kendal Herald.

FACTORY BILL.—A petition on this subject
is now in course of signature in this city ; we understand
it has already received a great many respectable names,
and we earnestly trust that this testimonial of sympathy
for the sufferings of helpless children, and the misery of the
working classes, will be numerously signed.--Aberdeen
Herald.

FACTORY BILL.—•On Thursday evening a
public meeting was held in the Lyceum, to consider the
propriety of petitioning the Legislature to restrict the bouts
of labour in public factories—Mr. P. M'Gowalr in the
chair. Various resolutions were adopted, and apetition
agreed upon; and as the speakers very properly confined
themselves to the regulation of infant labour, we trust that
their humane efforts will be successful.—Scots Timcs.

The Glasgow Free Press of Saturday says—
" Let no one be deceived by the present cry about Irish
outrage. Iceland was in a ten times more convulsed state
a twelvemonth ago than she is at this moment, and yet
there was no demand for "additional powers" then. No!
It is only when the people are in a positio❑ to force Mi-
nisters upon courses of extensive practical Reform in our
domestic affairs, that this story of Irish insurrection is
vamped up, to divert public attention to a different object,
and afford a pretext for perpetuating every oppression and
abuse."

We understand that the Directors of the
National Bank of Scotland have arranged to establish a
I ranch in Hawick, under the management of JAMES
WaLsos, Esq., writer, there.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant.

MEMOIRS OF SIR WM. HOSTE.—" This
Work gives a detailed account of the services of Sir W.
HOSTE, from his first embarkation till his death, fur-
nished from his own letters, and the journals of a friend
who sailed with him during the latter years of the war.
The letters exhibit, in a very favourable point of view, his
character, which appears to have been rich in all the
best of those qualities which go to form the British
sailor. Like COLLINGWOOD, he possessed those domestic
qualities, and gentle affections which might seem almost
incompatible with a life of adventure, turbulence, and
separation. Brought up by NELSON, he kept his example
in all that was good and great steadily in view. Were
we called upon to name any character whom the youth
now rising in the navy should take for their model, we
should unhesitatingly say—Sir WILLIAM HOSTE. The
volumes contain a very full account of the battle of L:ssa,
and a detailed and circumstantial narrative of their hero's
successful and laborious services at Cattaro and Ragusa
the main pillars of Hosra's fame. They also include
among their materials of interest, a variety of letters from
Lord NELSON."— United Service Gazette

ELOPEMENT.—There---are--efi;inces in love
as well as in war, and victory is not always to the brave
Cupid has, during the past week, been paying his v:ito
t) some of the good folks of this town, (Yeovil) and having
whispered in the ears of one gentle pair, that Hymen
awaited them in London, they took the hint, and flew,
on the wings of expectation and love, to the little godf who.
was in attendance, anxiously waiting to make " one of
the twain." If two of a trade cannot agree, It does not
follow but that their children m'y; they can, as it is
proved in this instance. A Chough, of the male kind,
has flown away with a gentle Greyhound. of the opposite
sex, not, however, as a bird of prey, but in the light of a
"turtle dove," to nestle together fur the future in inutial
Live and good will. The pair were followed by 'oat,
relaives, but the young couple eluded ti.e pursuit, anl
no d iubt feel happy in the accomplishment of their en •
terprize....Sherborne Journal.
