FRENCH PAPERS.

The Moniieur announces this long expected event in the
following terms The King of Spain died on the 29th
ult., at three o'clock in the afternoon. A telegraphic de-
-s)atch, sent off by M. de Rayneval, announced the
event to the Government yesterday. In conformity to
the last will of his Catholic Majesty, the Queen Dowager
has been declared Regent during the minority of the
young Queen Isabella. The Ministry has not been
changed. Madrid was perfectly tranquil. A courier
set out last night with orders for M. de Rayneval to
declare that the French Government is disposed to recog-
nize the new Sovereign as soon as it shall have received
the necessary notification." The official despatches from
Madrid cannot reach Paris before Saturday night or
Sunday.
Ferdinand VII. was born at San Lorenzo, on the 14th
of October, 1784, and succeeded to the Crown of Spain
by fhe death of his father, on the 19th of March, 1808.
His IVsjesty bad four consorts ; by the first three he bad
no issue. He was first married to Maria Antoinette The-
resa, daughter of Ferdinand VI., King of the Two Sicilies,
who died on the 21st of May, 1806 ; secondly, to Isabella
Maria Francesca, daughter of John VI., King of Por-
tugal, who died on the 26th of December 1818 ; thirdly,
to Maria Josephs Amelia, daughter of Maximilian, brother
of Anthony, King of Saxony, who died on the 17th of
May, 1829 ; and, fourthly, to Maria Christina, daughter of
Francis, late King of the Two Sicilies, who was born on
the 27th of April, 1806, and survives the King. His
Majesty has left issue only two daughters, Maria Isabella
Louisa, now Queen of Spain, born October 10, 1830,
and Maria Louisa Ferdinanda, born January 30, 1832.
Kiag Ferdinand has also surviving him two brothers and
one sister—namely, Don Carlos, born March 20, 1788,
married Sept. 29, 1816, to Maria Francesca d'Assizs,
Infanta of Portugal, by whom he has three sons ; Don
Francisco de Paulo, born March 10, 1794, and married
June 12, 1819, to Louisa Charlotte, Princess of the
Two Sicilies, by whom he has three sons and three
daughters ; and Maria Isabella, born July 6, 1789, who
became the second consort of the late King Francis of
Naples, by whom she had five sons and six slaughters.

have not learn which party prevailed,''but this we know,
that a courier was despatched for Madrid the same night."
We learn from Madrid t)Ckl a Council RRVq93, was
formed just before the King's eath, to assist tie Queen in
the Government of the kingdom. It consists of five
members—namely, the Infante Don Francisco de Paulo,
the Duke de I'lnfantado, 111. Zea Bermudez, the Bishop
' of Seville, and General Castagnos.
The Itioniteur confirms the statement of the embargo
laid on the Carlo Alberto having been taken off, and
orders having been given her to quit the coast of France
immediately.
We have reason to believe that Prince Talleyrand wil
not return to England, except in case of unlooked-for
circumstances, for the next three months.
M. Jules de Larochefuticauld, one of the King's Aides-
de-Camp, set out, it is said, yesterday morning, for Ma-
drid, with despatches, among which are autograph letters
from his Majesty and the Queen to the widowed Queen of
Ferdinand VII.

Since the arrival of Prince Talleyrand, Count Pozzo di
Borgo has been upon •ery neighbourly terms with him,
visiting him every morning, and remaining a considerable
time. Yesterday the Count was with the Patriarch of
Diplomacy from ten o'clock till nearly one. On returning
to his own residence the Russian Ambassador met Lord
Granville, and they entered the hotel together, and held a
long conference. At the same time the Spanish Ambas-
sador, the Count de Colomby, was holding an equally long
conference with the Duke de Broglie, at the Hotel for
Foreign Affairs, on the subject of despatches brought in
the morning to the Tuileries from Spain, which are said
to be of the highest importance ; in fact, great bustle is
evident at all the embissies.—Constitationnel.

BOURSE, 4 O'CLOCK, SATURDAY, OCT. 5 I will
not trouble you at this late hour with further reference to
any matters or speculations contained in the Journals, but
shall confine myself to a communication I have had from
the best-informed quarter in Paris, taking my chance for
its arriving in time to anticipate your own intelligence
direct from Lisbon. In brief then :—The army of Don
Miguel, at the date of the despatches just received by the
French Government, was reduced to 8,000 men. It was
the troops composing that army who mutinied, and com-
pelled Don Miguel to dismiss Marshal Bourmont, and
every other foreigner in his ranks. No possible event
can, it is believed, prevent the almost immediate dissolution
of that army. It will, it is supposed, split into guerillas
and banditti, or enter Spain to co-operate with the Carlist
insurgents, who will, no doubt is entertained, raise the
standard of revolt immediately upon learning the death of
the King.

" From the same source I am assured that ere this the
Queen Regent of Spain will have thrown herself and her
infant into the arms of the Constitutionalists, and that one
of her first measures will prove to have been the dismissal
of M. 'Lea and his friends from office.

" The Spaniards resident here are indignant at the
composition of the Regency, as announced in the
journals. Everything would indicate that considerable
bustle and contention will precede the settlement of the
succession in Spain, but I hope (rather than expect) that
civil war will not take place. The promptness with
which the French Government has despatched its recog-
nition of the infant Queen looks well. lam assured that
your Ambassador bore with him instructions to the like
effect, in anticipation of the King's death."

(From the Times Private Correspondent.)
PARIS, SATURDAY, 4 O'CLOCK, P.M.-The death of
Ferdinand had been some time looked and provided for by
this Government. It had been resolved immediately to
acknowledge his daughter, the Princess of Asturias, as the
successor to the crown. So entirely had the part to be
taken by the French Government bee❑ prepared, that,
without waiting even the customary official mode of noti-
fication of the King's death, one of its chief functionaries
in the Department of Foreign Affairs, M. Mignet, had
been despatched to Madrid to put the Regency in imme-
diate possession of the approval of France relative to the
measures adopted, as announced by the telegraph from
Bayonne. There is one point, however, which was pro-
bably unforeseen by the Ministers of France, and which
may have rather lessened their disposition to approve of
the course which was likely to be adopted by the Queen
and her most confidential advisers. It is the admis-
sion of M. de Zea as one of the members of the Regency.
No one who has been attentive to what has been pass-
ing in Spain for the last six months need be told at
the present day that M. de Zea, acting under the secret
influence of the Absolutist Courts of Europe, is but too
strongly suspected of having kept up a correspondence
with Don Carlos, the object of which was to prevail on
him not to go to any distance from the frontiers of Spain,
and to be prepared to proclaim his pretensions to the
throne when the expected event of the King's death should
t tke place. AI. de Zea, in fact, there is every reason to be-
lieve, has been doing for Don Carlos quite as mach as his pre-
decessor, M. Caiomarde, intended, short, perhaps, of the
signature obtained from the band of Ferdinani, when the
litter was in a state of lethargy, which rendered him
unconscious of whit was passing around him. As a
Government, that of France will probably not obtrude its
advice to the Regency on the impolicy of suffering M. de
Zea to continue exercising any authority and influence in
Spain ; but the Queen, it is well known, is in the habit
of corresponding privately with her relatives, Louis
Philip and his consort; and much useful advice on that
important subject may be afforded to her through such
means.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 4.

(From a Morning Contemporary.)

I It is considered here as certain in the best-informed
I circles that a note has been addressed by the Powers of
the North to England and France, in which they state
their determination to support the system of non-inter-
vention, and requesting the latter Cabinets to follow their
example. They further declare, that in the event of a
refusal, they are prepared to line their frontiers with troops
for the purpose of preserving the tranquillity of their in-
ternal position ; that the Rhenish provinces will be itn-
mediately garrisoned—the head-quarters of Prussia being
at Cologne, and that of the Germanic Confederation at
Mayence. On the 28th September the Prussian Govern-
ment had received no intimation of the resolution taken
by England and France, and had already commenced
operations for the conveyance of several corps. This
Court has, for some time past, been gradually reinforc-
ing her strength in this quarter, particularly in artillery,
and the departure of the Crown Prince, on a tour of
inspec ion in the provinces, leaves no doubt that in
a very short time the whole of the frontiers will present
a most formidable appearance. The Cabinets of Ba-
varia, Baden, Nassau, Cassel, &c., are also making great
preparations, and the orders to march only wait the
return of Count Munch-Bellinghausen, the President of
the Diet, from Vienna, having left Frankfort on the 28th
instant. Supposing the Northern Powers to be honest in
their desire to non-interfere in the quarrels of other
States, I cannot see how either England or France can
object to join in so equitable a treaty. The miserable
position of Holland and Belgium must have proved to them
that they are but sorry peacemakers, and that protocols,
themes, and proees-verbaux are not likely to consolidate
nations, and pave the way to a general disarmament. No
one can blame Prussia for protecting her Rhenish pos-
wesejorm She is aware that the province near Belgium
is composed of many French partisans, who would readily
rally round the 4i-coloured flag. The present policy of
England and France must, therefore, cause her serious
unFasineas, and lead her to expect that in the event of a
rising in these provinces, the same Cabinets may step
forward and dictate laws as they have done in the affairs

Clap GObht returned to Brussels -yesterday afternoon,

`*s.:
and, after assisting at a Council of Ministers, he set to
work and drew out a nondescript sort of document,
which he is pleased to call a diplomatic report. The
Foreign Secretary made his appearance at the sitting of
the Chamber of Representatives to-day, having the
mysterious communication under his arm. On his entry
into the House there was a dead silence, expectation was
on the qui vice, attention in every countenance ; at
length, after a due diplomatic pause, he addressed the
Chamber. He first made some few remarks as to the
awkwardness of his situation, and the necessity of his
acting with great reserve. He then took great credit to
himself for preserving the honour of Belgium, and read a
long note, doted 28th September, which amounted to
nothing ; he felt sorry that the negotiation bad not led to
any conclusion, and he attributed the breaking up of the
Conference to the obstinacy of his Dutch Majesty. He
concluded by requesting the House would not put any
questions to him as they might compromise the conti-
nuance of negotiations. This is a resume of the speech
of the Foreign Minister, who refused to answer questions,
fearing that they might impede negotiations broken off by
one of the interested parties. M. Dumortier was not
satisfied with the clear statement of the Gallant General.
He wanted to know something about the debt, the
Scheldt, and Luxemburg. The Minister remained ob.
stinate. Minister Lebeau, who had for some time been a
critical observer of the countenances of the different De-
puties, and, reading everywhere discontent, volunteered
a species of juste milieu speech. He assured the House
that the treaty of the 15th of November had not been
violated ; and, turning to the timid party, he promised
them that there would be no recourse to arms. The
Deputies, being anxious to proceed with the business of
the day, the last previous to the adjournments, and seeing
the hopelessness of getting any true information, dropped
the conversation.

The attempted assassination of Colonel Lyster continued
enveloped in a suspicious cloud, and, notwithstanding the
apprehension of a chasseur, named Flamecourt, who has
confessed to be the person who wounded the Colonel, it is
not likely the real culprits will ever be come at. The
whole of the proceedings carry an air of preconcerted ar-
rangement, that in the mind of every unbiassed individual
must carry conviction. On Tuesday last an inspection
was made, and a report was drawn up—that no chasseur
was without his sword, and yet the same day this M.
Flamecourt makes his appearance, and says " I am the
man. I alone committed the deed, unaccompanied by
any other soldier," and with a well-concocted tale he
throws all the blame on the Colonel. The next day the
Minister of War addresses the following letter to the
Colonel:

" Head-quarters, Brussels, Oct. 1.
" Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the sol-
dier to whom the piece of sabre-blade belonged, which you
have in your possession, has voluntarily made himself
known. lie has declared that he was alone, and not ac-
companied by others of his company at the blows which
took place on the night of the 26th and 27th of Septem-
ber. He maintains also that be was not the aggressor,
and that, to avoid being killed, he defended himself with
the weapons he carried.
" This soldier has been brought before a Court-martial,
and I will inform you of the sentence that may he given in
this affair. (Signed) " Baron EVAIN,
" Minister of War—(ad interim)."
The most singlar part of this letter is the last paragraph,
in which the Colonel is to be informed of the sentence
passed by the courtmartial. This certainly is one way of
conducting a criminal proceeding, and rendering justice
equitably and legally. Flamecourt delivers himself up,
exonerates the rest of his regiment, and the Minister of
War, to reward his devotedness, promises him a trial by
courtmartial, with closed doors. Independent of these
well-digested movements, a certain Colonel, who holds a
military office of some consequence in Brussels, has taken
the pains to call on the Colonel and endeavour to induce
him, now that the man is taken, not to follow up per-
sonally, the affair any further, hut to leave It with the
courtmartial. The Colonel justly refused listening to the
proposition, and instantly addressed to Sir Robert Adair
the following letter. It is but due to his Excellency to
state, that be shows the greatest desire to see impartial
justice administered :

" TO BIS EXCELLENCY SIR ROBERT ADAIR, &C.
" Sir,—By a letter I received yesterday from the Mi-
nister of War, it seems to me that there is some doubt
entertained as to the correctness of my statement of the
assassin-like attack made on me on the night of the
26th ult.

" The Minister of War states in this letter that the
soldier is taken, but declares that be had no companions,
and that he was not the aggressor, but only defecded him-
self from being killed with his own arms.
'f he Minister further states, Ce militaire est traduit
devant le Conseil de Guerre, et je vous feral connaitre
le jugement que sera prononce dans cette affaire.'
" I now beg your Excellency to insist that I may b;
allowed to attend that Court, with ray witnesses and legal
adviser, for I most solemnlypledge you the word and honour
of a gentleman and officer, that there were four soldiers;
that two of them attacked me and desperately wounded
me; that the other two remained across the street; and

I think that I can sufficiently prove that they were seen,
or heard by some person in the neighbourhood. This, jus-
tice and my honour require. Allow me at the same time
to return my most grateful thanks to your Excellency for
that part of your letter in which you so kindly offer me
your aid and protection in my present situation. I have
the honour to be, your Excellency's most obedient and
humble (Signed) WILL. LYSTER.
" Oct. 3, 1833."
Since the Colonel's affair we have had another atrocious
act committed in Brussels, and suspicion in this instance
falls on a min whose cloth ought to have sheltered him
from so foul an accusation. On Wednesday last a servant
girl was found strangled, and stabbed i❑ the side with a
stiletto, in the house of the Rev. M. Vanderbroeck, Vicar
of the Cathedral of St. Gudule. The story of the priest
is, that, returning with his mother from Mass, he found
the girl lying on the ground, showing no signs of life ;
her mouth was open, but there were no appearances to in-
duce him to believe that she had been murdered. Hav-
ing called on some friends, it was agreed to send the
corpse to the cholera hospital. The matter would have
remained unexplained, and the poor girl buried as if she
died a violent death, had not some one, in removing her
clothes, perceived a black mark round the neck, and a
wound in the side. Inquiry was then set afloat, and it
was proved that the girl, notwithstanding her wounds,
had no marks of blood on her clothes, which appeared to
have been freshly put on ; there were no traces of Wood
on the spot where she was found, and it is said that the
priest told the persons who took the corpse to the hospital,
" That, should the girl die on the road, they were to
consider her clothes as their own." It is also generally
reported, and I have seen a doctor who was present at
the post inortem examination, who assured me the girl
was six months advanced in the family way. lam afraid
that in this instance, like that of the soldiers, the matter'
will be hushed up, and the truth never known. The
priests and the military have great influence in Belgium.
A Ghent paper gives an account of some poisoned
bread found at a baker's shop, in that city, and a Brussels
paper in copying the article says, "We have also had
occasion to notice a similar circumstance in Brussels."
So that, what with attempts at assassinations, murders,
poisoned bread, and a list of incendiarisms, which daily
are noticed in our journslv—we are in a hopeful condition.
The Chamber• of Representatives, previous to its ad-
journment, had drawn up a report respecting railroads.
It advises that railroads should be established all over the
kingdom, the central point of which should be Malines.
From hence they shall branch out towards the frontiers
of Prussia, by Louvain, Liege and Verviers, to the north
of Antwerp; to the west, by Termonde, Ghent, and
O,tend, ar.d to the frontiers of France by Brussels. This
is a pretty scheme, but it will never be carried into execu-
tion.

M. Mary, the Belgian Charge d'Affaires to the
Brazils, left yesterday for England, intending to einbark
at Liverpool.

THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND
AND THE MARCHIONESS WELLESLEY.-The Marchioness
Wellesley, accompanied by her sister, Miss Caton, arrived
at the Clarendon Hotel, in New Bond-street, on Saturday
evening, from a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of
Carmarthen, at their seat, Stonehaven, near Aberdeen.
Her Ladyship is sister to Lady Carmarthen (before her
second marriage Lady Hervey), and proceeded to Scotland
a fortnight ago, from a tour of some of the watering
places, where she was sojourning when the Noble Marquis
was appoirved to the high office of Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland. The stay of the Marchioness in the metropolis
will be short, as she will proceed to Dublin in a few days
to join her Lord. Her Ladyship will
pay a visit to their
31•Jjesties, at Windsor Palace, prior to her departure for
Ireland. She has been one of the Ladies in Waiting to
the Queen since her Majesty's accession. As the Marquis,
however, is said to be gone to the sister country for five
years, it is asserted her Ladyship will tender the resignation
of her post in the Royal Himsehold. The Marchioness,
when Mrs. Patterson, was united to his Lordship during
his former Viceroyalty, in 1825, and shor.ly after her
sister, Lady Frederick Hervey, became the bride of the
Marquis of Carmarthen.
