THE FRE

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The recent conflict with the liabyles has been
much more fatal to the French army than the official
accounts had led us to believg.9. According to the
National the French had 306 killed and 1,331
wounded. Two companies of the 10th were, with
the exception of 20 men, entirely cut to pieces by the
Arabs.

The Bonapartists are making desperate efforts to
get up petitions for the revision of the Constitution,
and in the country districts the priests are the agents
employed for this purpose.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.
Their contents are unimportant.
The Bolsa was closed.

GERMANY.
The New Prussian Gazette states that M. DE
MAIcTEUFFEL arrived in Berlin from Warsaw on the
27th, at five in the morning, and proceeded at noon
to Potsdam, to wait on the QUIEEN. M. DE MAN-
TEUFFEL was received at Warsaw with great distinc-
tion by the Emperor of RUSSIA, who presented to him
the insignia of the order of Alexander Newski of the
first class. The same journal contradicts, from au-
thority, the intelligence that two corps d'armee were
to be immediately mobilized.
The Wanderer of Vienna, of May 26, states that
Count DE SANDOR, son-in-law of Prince DE MET•
TERNICH, has just died in a mad-house at Prague.

BELGIUM-

In the Belgian Senate yesterday, Baron DE
ROYER asked for explanations from the Minister
on the ministerial crisis. M. RoGrER replied that he
had nothing to add to the explanations already given
in the Chamber of Representatives ; but that the gen-
tlemen called on by his MAJESTY to form a Cabinet
could give information. M, DUMON-DUNIORTIER,
the president, having quitted the chair, said that he
had had the honour to be called on by the KING to
form a Cabinet, but had declined to undertake the
task, because he did not think a new one was neces-
sary, inasmuch as the hostile vote against the
Ministry was a mistake. The majority, he
said, had not changed its policy or principles,
and if the Ministry were to consult it on any
other subject than that on which the hostile vote
had been given, it would obtain all its support. He
concluded by calling on the Ministers to put an end
to the state of uncertainty by again taking possessien
of their portfolios. M. ROGIER thanked M. Dustori-
DUIVORTIER for his observations, but said the Cabinet
considered itself bound to persist in its resolution.
the position in which it had been placed was not
changed, and consequently it could not hope to rea-
lize its programme, as it could not obtain the re-
sources necessary for re-establishing the financial
equilibrium and undertaking public works. The
Minister concluded by expressing regret that M.
DUAION-DUMORTIER had not accepted the mission
conferred on him by the KING, and said that the ex-
Ministers would have been happy to have seconded
him by all their efforts. The matter then dropped.
