PRICES OF FOREIGN WHEAT.

We collect below the information received from variou
parts of the continent since the last accounts relating to
the current prices of wheat and flour. These periodical
returns are admitted by practical men to be of very great
value.

The highest price of wheaten flour of the first quality at
Paris is 46f. the 159 kilogrammes, which answers to

IL 9s. the English sack of 280th. ; and the highest price
of wheaten flour of the first quality in London is 21. 10s.
the sack. It therefore appears that flour is '72 2-sths per
cent. dearer in London than at Paris, and that with the
auas of 21. 10s. a rain may buy 4831 b. of fine flour at
Paris, whereas with the same sum be can only buy 2801 b.
in London.

The price of wheaten bread of the first quality at Paris
is 11 sous per lib. French weight, which is less than 4d.
for the loaf of 416. English weight. The price of bread of
the second quality is 8 sous per 4 lb. French weight,
which is less than 31d. the loaf of 41b. English weigh,.
The flour at Paris is greatly superior in quality to the
London flour; and, indeed, there is not a capital city in
Europe in which both flour and bread are of at, indifferent
a quality as in London. The following is the state of
things in other parts of France :

At Haguen au the price of wheat is 141. the hectolitre,
which answers to IL 12s. Id. the quarter of eight bushels,
imperial measure. At Arns the price of wheat is l lf. to
141. the hectolitre, which is from 11.55. 2d. to 11. 12s. 1,1.
the English quarter of eight bushels imperial measure. At
Chalng.sur.Marne the price of wheat is 18f. to 201.
per Li hectolitre, which is from I/. 7s. 61. to 1/. 108.7 d.
the Englisl► quarter of eight buslads, imperial measure.
At Sables d'Olonne the price of wheat is 3151. to 3201.
per 20 hectolitres, which is from 14 16s. Id. to 11. 16d. 3d.
the English quarter of eight bushels, imperial measure.
At Bergues the price of wheat is 231. to 25f. per 2i
hectolitres, which is from 1/. 15s. 2d. to 1/. 18s. 2d. the
English quarter of eight bushels, imperial measure. The
wheat of this district is of highly superior quality, and
probably the best of any in France.

At Cain the price of wheat of the first quality is 34f.
the sack, which answers to 11. 10s. 9d. the Imperial quar-
ter of eight bushels. At Cognac the wean }nice of wheat
is 14f. 35c. the hectolitre, which answers to 11. 12s. I Id.
the English quarter of eight bushels, imperial measure.
At Havre the price of wheat of the first quality is 39f.
the sack, which answers to 11. 15s. 3d. the English quar-
ter of eight bushels imperial measure. At Cambray the
price of wheat rules from 10f. to 14f. the hectolitre, which
is from U. 2s. Ild. to 1/. 12s. Id. tile quarter of eight
bushels, imperial measure. The price of wheaten flour
of the first quality is 241. 50c. the 101 kilogrammes,
which answers to 1/. 4s. 3d. the English sack of 2801 b.,
and the price of wheaten flour of the first quality in Lon-
don being 21. 10s. the sack, it follows that flour is 106
per rent, dearer in London than at Cambray, and that
with the sum of 21. 10s. a man may buy 5771 b. of fine
flour at Cambray, whereas with the same sum he can only
buy 28016. in Loudon.

it is of special remark and observation, that since the
harvest of 1832 the prices of grain in France have been
gradually falling, while, during the same period, the money
wages of labour have been gradually rising, and are now
grown to a point, that if the matter were carefully in-
qitired into, we believe it would be found that the average
money wages of agricultural labour in France are some-
what higher than in Great Britain; that the average
money wages of mechanical and tnanufacturing labour are
nearly, and perhaps quite, as high as in Great Britain;
and if after this we take Ireland into the account, we be-
-I.i!vo it will be found that the average money wages of all
kindsth of labour in France are pretty considerably higher
_ an in the United Kingdom ; and if all this be so, then,
from the lower prices of food, and generally of the neces-
rea.el wa 8 and
conveniences of life, it clearly results that the
gtehse United of labour in France are very considerably higher
than in
Tii, Kingdom.

A letter of the 20th inst., from Marseilles,
states that on the preceding day, M. Spiridion Tric :uP
the Ambassador from Greece to Great Britain, arrived
there from Toulon with his family. He is a native of
Missolonghi, but was educated in England. He has filled
many important offices in his own country.
The wandering piper, whose peregrinations
in this kingdom some time ago excited great attention, is
now collecting a golden harvest in the principal towns of
the United States.

Sir J. S. laLux—Did I not mention in your bearing
that my object was to afford you an opportunity of explain-
ing and of vindicating yourself?
The CHAIRMAN—No, you did not.,
Sir J. S. LILLIE denied that anything he then said
could be fairly deemed to he personal.
Mr. flatswzr.r. avowed that he was the Magistrate
who told the Chairman of what was being said of him in
his absence.
The conversation here dropped, and the business of the
day was entered upon.
Sir J. WILLIAMS moved that for the future the prisoners
against whom no bills were found he brought into Court,
and there publicly discharged by proclamation, instead of
being discharged at the gaol, as was the present system.
Sir P. LAURIE objected to the proposed change, on the
ground of its subjecting the individuals to the unnecessary
degradation of being dragged through the streets to the
Court-house.
Sir J. WILLIAMS said it was no psrt of his proposal to
have them dragged through the street. They could be
brought up in the caravans.
Sir P. LAURIE still objected, on the ground of the ex-
pense and inconvenience that would he occasioned.
Mr. BROUGHTON inquired whether the practice of
giving each prisoner a shilling cn his discharge was still
followed ?
Mr. HALSWELL said it was not, as experience had
convinced the magistrates that it was mostly spent in the
first gin-shop. They were obliged even to he very scru-
pulous about giving any article of clothing, as it was too
frequently converted into liquor, and the recipient returned
bark upon their hands a prisoner on the evening of the
very day of his discharge. They did not now, on an
average, give away 10s. among two hundred prisoners.
Mr. HALCOMA doubted whether the discharging of the
prisoners at the gaol gates was not illegal.
The CHAIRMAN said he always had been of *llion it
was illegal ; hnt unless a majority of his brother magis-
trates concurred with him, it would be impossible for him
to alter it.
After some further discussion the question was referred
to the Visiting Magistrates for them to report thereon.
The Report of the Committee appointed to consider the
subject of the errors alleged to have occurred in the office
of the Clerk of Indictments, and also to report on the
efficiency of the officers of the Court, was then read.
It stated that Mr. Stafford had held the office of Clerk
of Indictments thirty-five years ; that he was appointed
thereto by Mr. Stafford, the Clerk of the Peace ; and that
he had previously filled a similar office for the Home Assizes.
The Report spoke highly of the general ability and
carefulness of Mr. Stafford in discharging his duties, and
expressed an opinion that the errors complained of, which
were merely clerical, were such as any person might
accidentally have fallen into in the hurry of business,
without being subject to any heavy blame. Mr. Selby,
the Clerk of the Peace, the Report stated, was 84 years
old, and resided in Cumberland ; but his deputy resided in
Carlis'e-street, Soho. Mr. Stirling held the office of Clerk
to the Visiting Justices of the Prisons, and was spoken of
as aged and infirm ; and Mr. Richards, the crier of the
Court, was declared to be ineffici,nt from the same cause.

Sir J. GluoN moved that the Report be printed and
circulated, and taken into consideration on the next Court
day.

Mr. MlViwabs, as an amendment, moved that it be
referred hick to the Committee for further consideration.
Mr. HALSWELL seconded the amendment.
Mr. BROUGHTON spoke in high terms of the ablity
with which Mr. Scaff:rd had always discharged his ar-
c:mu+ duties, and spoke of the ohseivation. in toe reparc
as to the age and infirmities of certain officers of the
Court as ungenerous and uncalled for. If the Court
wished to oe well served they must mle allowance for
any little mistakes which the infirmities of age might
occasion.

Mr. BALLANTINE followed, and also high)), extolled
the attainments of Mr. Staff rd as a special pleader. He
also bore testimony to the integrity of the character of
Mr. Richards, the crier of the Court, who had for fifty
years discharged the dutits of his office without blot and
without blemish.

After much desultory conversation, it was resolved that
nothing further should be done in respect of the report,
which was disposed of by the carrying of the usual techni-
cJl motion in such cases, that it do lie on the table.
Mr. FLOOD, agreeably to notice, brought forward his
motion for the erection of an additional Court for the trial
of prisoners.

Sir CHARLES FORBES, for the purpose of giving an
opportunity of diseus.,ing the merits of the question, se-
cond,d the motion.

No gentleman thought proper to rise and formally op.
pose the motion, but cries of " Question, question,"
were beard from all parts of the Court ; and the motion
being put, no hands were raised in its favour but those
of the mover and seconder : it was of course declared
to he lost.
The Court then adjourned.

PEOPLE OF IMPORTANCE.—Nobody likes
to be nobody, but every body is pleased to think himself
to be somebody, and every body is somebody ; but the worst
of the matter is, that when any body thinks himself to be
somebody, he is too much inclined to think every body else
to be nobody,

RUSSIAN MILITARY FORCE.—The mili-
tary force of Russia consists of about 379,978 men ; but
this large army is more numerous than available, as
would appear from the fact that it took more than two
years to assemble together 120,000 men to lead against
the Turks, and 80,000 as a corps of observation from
Poland and Lithuania. In the first year of the Polish
war two ntonths elapsed before an army of 118,000 men
could be brought into operation, and in the second year,
by redoubled efforts, an army of not more than 126,000
men was mustered, with a reserve corps of 50,000, and
10,000 Cossacks; in all, 186,000. From these state-
ments, it would appear that, in the event of Russia taking
an offensive position on the frontier of Prussia, and bring-
ing her troops to the banks„pf the Oder, she could not
raise an army of more than 180,000 to 200,000 men, is
addition to a necessary reserve of 100,000. In case of a
war taking place in Austria, she could not engage more
than 120,000 to 150,000 troops, as she would then leave
on her flanks a people impatient of her yoke. From these
statements, we may conclude that, supposing Russia were
to declare war against France, being obliged to leave an
army of 80,000 men in Poland, she could not bring more
than 100,000 to the banks of the Rhine. Another con-
sideration is, that, although the Russian armies dm% very
little upon the treasury when at home, being almost
wholly supported at the expense of the population, they
become very expensive when once out of their own terri-
tory : and the great number of horses, with the immense
quantity of materiel which they take out, soon exhausts
the country through which they pass : in consequence of
which they can never make more than five or six days*
march from their magazines.—Tableau Statistique du

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES._SITTING or JAN. 25.
At two o'clock the President took the chair.
The order of the day was receiving the report of
the Committee of Petitions.
M. Keratry gave an account to the Chamber of
several petitions relative to 158 Poles who bad
landed at Havre, the object of which petitions was
to obtain permission for these Poles to remain in
France. The Hon. Member said, that though the
commission felt admiration for the courage and
sympathy for the misfortunes of these refugees, yet,
considering the heavy burdens imposed upon the
conntry,still they were of opinion that the Govern-
ment should not allow to be wrested from them by
a kind of violence that which reason and justice
forbade them to grant. The commission, therefore
(concluded the reporter), proposes to pass to the
order of the day.
General Layfaette(general marks of attention.)—
It is not long since (said the Hon. General), that
this Chamber, in its address to the King, seized
the opportunity of protesting, in an especial man.
ner, against all that has been done in Poland. It
must be isy the recollection of every one ttat. th.e
Chamber said that the nationality of Poland should
not perish. At present, we have to take into con-
sideration the fate of a number of Poles, victims of
their national fidelity, who have disembarked at
Havre. They formed a part of that body of Polish
troops who were obliged to take refuge in the
Prussian territory, where they were subjected to the
most brutal and perfidious measures, to force them
back into the power of the Russians. You may
have heard that numbers of these unfortunate men
were, on their refusing to take an oath of allegiance
to the destroyer of their country, made to run the
gauntlet between a double file of Prussians armed
with cudgels, anti several died from the effects of
the blows inflicted upon them. Six hundred of
these Poles, who survived this brutal treatment,
eagerly accepted an offer made by the Prussian Go-
vernment to send them to America. It is a por-
tion of these, forced by contrary winds to enter
the port of Havre, where they have been ge-
nerously welcomed by the inhabitants, who now
claim the rights of hospitality from this Cham-
ber. It would surely be unworthy of the ge-
nerosity and good faith of the Chamber, which so
nobly expressed itself on the address in favour of
Poland, to yield to the proposal of the commission,
and by passing to the order of the day reject the
prayer of the petitioners. The Hon. General con-
cluded by moving that the petitions be referred to
the President of the Council and to the King's
Council.—(Hear.)
The Minister of the Interior—Gentlemen, the
Hon. General, in moving that these petitions be
referred to the Council of Ministers, was actuated
by motives of sympathy and gratitude, which the
Government shares with him. But even under
that point of view, the course he proposes appears
to me uncalled for. The Government has fulfilled,
with regard to the refugees, all the duties imposed
upon it. The Government has been frequently re-
proached with harsh and barbarous conduct towards
.he foreign refugees now in France, in transporting

iem from one place to another, exiling them to A

giers, &c. Gentlemen, 'I gladly seize the opportte
nity to explain the conduct of the Government upon
these points ; awl, first, I shall apply to certain as-
sertions that have been bruited, that the French
Government was guided in its treatment of the re-
fugees by- the secret nego=iations of foreign powers.
No, Gentlemen, such has not been the case. We
have followed alone the dictates of our conscience
and the interests of the nation, totally unbiassed by
any foreign influence. The Minister went on to
say, that complaints being made from various
places where the Polish refugees were located ie
great numbers, that they had been the cause of pub-
lic tumult and disorder, it becime necessary to change
their place of residence, and disseminate them in
smaller numbers. But (continued the Minister) to
refute the insinuations of injustice and cruelty of
which the Government has been the object, it sill
only be necessary to lay before you the amount of
the allowances made to the refugees. The Generals,
Lieutenant-General, and ether high functionsries
receive from 2,500 f. to 3,000 f, a-year, the same pay,
in fact, as a French Lieutenant-General. Even, by a
particular exception in her favour, the widow of
G,.neral Torrijos enjoys a pension of 3,0001., a pert.
sion similar to which you have recently refused to
the widows of French Generals. Those amongst
the refugees of the same rank as a Brigadier-Gene-
ral receive an allowance of from 1,500 f., to 2,0401.
For those of a subaltern rank the allowance is .547 f,
and in some cases 600 f., which is equal to the
half-pay of a French captain. The privates amongst
the refugees receive 275 f. 75c., whilst the French
private soldier is given only a sum of 240 f. The
4,000,000 f., which you voted last session for aiding
foreign refugees will be entirely exhausted ; and
even supposing that you refuse to listen to any new
claims on these funds, I shall still be obliged to ask
of the Chamber a supplementary grant of 1,500,0001.
for 1834.—(Murmurs from the centres.) The Minis-
ter proceeded to state that the late events in Spain
had driven into this country a great number of Spa-
nish Carlist refugees, who were in such distress
that they begged to be admitted into the prisons
for the sake of shelter and nourishment; whilst, at
the same time, numbers of those of a contrary
political opinion, who might, in consequence of the
amnesty, return to Spain, preferred, under various
pretexts, remaining in France, and enjoying the
allowances made to them. The Minister in conti-
nuation said, that the Polish refugees showed but
little eagerness either to enter the French army or
the levies made for Portugal, and they were actually
unwilling to be employed in the manufactories, or
work for their livelihood. The Minister, after
mentioning several instances of gross misconduct on
the part of some of the refugees, added, I hesitate
not to say, if my conscience reproaches me with
anything, it is for having been too indulgent. For
what, in truth, are the severities that we have been
accused of exercising towards the refugees ? M.
Gamier Pages has taked of the persecution expe-
rienced by a yeoman named Wolfrum, but he knew
not what kind of a man this was. I shall beg leave
to inform him he was an agent of the German
Jesuits.—(Bursts of laughter from the centre.)
Here the Minister, in proof of his assertion, read a
paper, beginning " The person named Wolfrum is to
make his appearance in the first Confessional of the
Church of St. Peter, at Munich," and concluding in
the following terms:—" The watchword is Ignatius
Loyola and Caper. Signed r Father Anselme.' "
( General laughter, and cries of " What has M.
Cabet to do with that ?")
The Minister of the Interior—l said Capet, and
not Cabet.—(lncreased laughter.) You now know,
continued the Minister, M. Wolfrum, and the peace-
able kind of industry which we have been accused
of disturbing—(Laughter and murmurs.)
The President—Do not interrupt the Midster.
In bringing on this discussion you 110 doubt wished
to come to the knowledge of facts, and you have
been furnished with them.—(Bursts of laughter
from the Ministers' benches.)
The Minister of the Interior then proceeded to
state, that the Polish refugees at Marseilles had
twice broken the promises made by them to the
municipal authorities. After having, at their own
desire, been incorporated in the foreign legion de,-
tined for Algiers, they then protested against the
execution of the measure; and after being embarked,

M. Leereps observed that France had already to
pay an annual pension list of 55,000,000 of francs
and he adjured the Chamber not to augment this
enormous burden. The Hon. Member added, that
the Chamber ought to be the less eager to pension
the widow of Marshal Jourdan, inasmuch as it
could be shown by authentic documents that the
Marshal had already received from the public Trea-
sury no less than 4,000,000 f.
M. Charles Dupin spoke in favour of the grants,
and sought particularly to impress upon the Cham-
ber the necessity there existed for granting an ex-
traordinary pension to the widow of General de
Caen, who was so far from possessing the goods of
fortune that it was not till 1831 that he was quali-
fied to be an elector; his personal and house taxes
before that period amounting. only to 6f. 98c.
General Leydel declared himself opposed to the
grants, and remarked, that if the nation was to be
charged with new burdens, it should be with a view•
to alleviate the distress of the widows of officers (II
inferior rank, rather than to render more opulent
those of the higher ranks.
M. Boyer de Peyrelean retraced the military ca-
reer of General de Caen, and eulogized his eminent
services in India and the I-le of Fiance. Geniis,
men, added the Hon. Member, the widow of Ge-
neral de Caen, sinking under age and infiirrities,
asks of you to enable her to place a monuments
stone over the remains of her husband ; to ethical,
her eon in the sentiments of his father; and, in fin,.
to leave them a little pittance to support existence
for, continued the Hon. Member, this unfortunate
lady has nothing, absolutely nothing; at the dead:
of General de Caen, he 1,-fr nor even as much a-
sufficed to pay his burial expenses.
General Delort expressed his surprise that the
commission, after passing a high eulogium upon th.
Generals de Caen, Diu meAni I, and Gerard, should
have proposed to the Chamber the rejection of tit(
intended grants in favour of their widows. T;,•
Hon. Member particula•ly insisted upon the dais).
that the widow of General de Caen had upon the
consideration of the Chamber.

General B•ige,,tut Pxpres;d himself in favour of
the proposed pensions.
M. Vatoul, reporter of the commission, entered
into a justifica,ion of the course proposed by the
commission—namely, to grant a pension to the
widow of Marshal Jourdan, and refuse the others.
M. Baude stated his opinion to be that pension,
should be granted to the widows of Marshal Jour-
dan and General de Caen solely.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Monday.)

It is rumoured that the following changes in the
foreign representatives of France are in contempla-
tion :—M. de Rumigny will remove from his em-
bassy in Switzerland to that of Spain, in the room
of M. de Rayneval, who is to return to Vienna,
whence M. de St. Aulaire will proceed to Rome,
and resume the post he so long occupied there,
while M. de Latour Maubourg will quit the Holy
See, and replace M. de Rumigny in Switzerland.
Extract of a private letter of the 15th instant
from Ancona :—" On Monday last 165 French sol-
diers were lauded from the Finisterre, after which
she hoisted the Pontifical flag at her main-top-mast,
ar►d fired a salute of eleven guns, which was an-
swered by an equal number from the citadel. It is
said that she was to have brought 25 artillerymen,
but received a telegraphic order to sail before they
could arrive at Toulon to be embarked. The Finis-
terre is in want of repairs, having sustained consi-
derable damage in the late stormy weather. It is
believed that she will remain a month in this port.
We are assured that the Pope's Government is
highly dissatisfied with the arrival of these fresh
troops."

The Moniteur contains a report of the 18th inst.,
from Lieutenant-General Voirol, Commander of the
Forces in Africa, which announces that the plain
of Metidjeh had been delivered from a formidable
instigator of robbery and disorder by the death of
Hadji Mohammed Ben Reffenda, chief of the tur-
bulent tribe of the Hadjoutes, who was shot out of
revenge by a :Marabout. Peace continues to pre-
vail, robbery is less frequent, and agricultural la-
bours are taking a wider extension in the plain. A
deputation from the tribes contiguous to the Porte
de Fer had come to offer assistance against the Bey
of Constantina. To this is subjoined another report,
dated the 6th inst., from General Desmichels, Corn-
marinder of the Oran division, upon the unfortunate
sortie from the Maison Carree in the beginning of
the month, all the details of which appeared in the
order of the day of that officer which which was
published in the Messenger of Friday.
The Estrella of Madrid has his the following:—
" The King of Denmark has sent a vet), kind and
friendly answer to the letter of the Queen Regeit
communicating to his Majesty the death of Ferdi-
nand VII., and the accession of Donna Isatiella.
He has also continued the Chevalier Borgo di Primo
in his functions as Charge d'Affaires at Madrid ft,'
the Danish Court. The Hanse Towns have sei.t
an answer couched in similar terms."

A letter of the 22d inst from Bordeaux gives ti e
following details of the stoppage of the French Ca-
binet courier by the Carlists, which we have already
mentioned :

" The courier who brought the Madrid Gazelle

'ee-41te42
eontaining the (2 ordinance appointing the new Cab;-
'tete tte:eda scorned tai 1.20 men, •eaa etopped by
Le &eel' re' nr.,= of 7' Leeds at the head of
1,900 men. The use le, timbres it in possible ru
efer any effectual resistance, retreated in good ruder,
leaving the courier and two travellers who were with
him in the hands of the rr hels. One of the tra-
veller: was M. Garelli, an Italian, ,a ho ha- been
appointed one of the managers of the Grand Theata e
of Madrid. Being all three cateltteted into the
mamtains between Bergara and Moneragon, the
•lesparches, including these addressed to the French
Mieiseer for Foreign Affairs, were opened and read.
le this packet were three letters ; t he first was from
Zea to his brother the Ambassador at Paris, incorm-
'll2' him that the Queen had at length yielded to
his representations, and accepted his resignation.
The second was from the Intendant of the Police of.
Madrid to M. Gisquet, thanking him for informa-
tion teat some of the members of the Societe des
Dcoits de l'Homme had gone into Catalonia to
hasten the insurrection of the Republicans. The
third was a report from a French agent placed by
Marshal Soult in the service of M. de Rayne eel, for
the purpose of watching his movements and making
the Marshal acquainted with them. This corres-
pondence greatly amused the chief of the band, who
offered the captives chocolate. Having searched
the baggage of the travellers, one of whom only
passed a Madrid Gazette by having used it is
wrap up a brush, the courier was suffered to con-
tinue on his way."
The Bordeaux papers of the 23d inst. state that
the cannier who brought the news of the change of
the Spanish Ministry had among his despatches an
exposition of General Quesada, composed in much
Stronger terms than that of General Llauder. It is
now known that it was this new manifestation
which effected the downfall of M. Zea. We regret
that the insurgents kept possession of this docu-
ment, as we should have found in the frank asperity
of the General a just description of the irritation,
produced in the public mind from a persistence in a
state of things universally disapproved. The Car-
lists, under the command of Zumalcarreguy, have
gained possession of the iron-works at Orbacieta.
Colonel Bayona, and the small detachment he had
with him, retired upon the frontiers of France, and
passed them above St. Michel. On the night of the
17th he sent to St. Jean Pied-de-Port for provisions
for the Ahescouan women and children who had
followed him.
The Vapor of Barcelona of the 17th inst pub-
lishes a proclamation of General Llauder, on the (le-
sion of a slight attempt at raising an insurrection at
Barcelona on the 13th, when the Subdelegado de
Fomento (Prefect) was installed, in which he 'ex-
horts the people to maintain peace and order.
Letters from Barcelona state that General Llauder
has published a proclamation, in which he renews
his protestations of fidelity to the Qeeen and de-
votedness to her cause, and declares that his views
have been completely realised by the late political
changes made at Madrid. Catalonia is in a state
of perfect tranquillity.
Extract of a letter of the 17th inst. from Ma-
drid :—" The new Ministry is composed in perfect
accordance with the Council of Regency. The
Marquis de las Amarillas and M. Burgos fully under..
stand one another, and M. Martinez de la Rosa has
accepted the Department of Foreign Affairs, without
the Presidency of the Council, which has been sup-
pressed, as incompatible with the prerogatives of the
Council of Regency. M. Gareli, the Minister of
Justice, is an upright man, and perhaps the first
lawyer in the kingdom. This leads us to hope that
a new civil code may be shortly promulgated The
Council of Regency has come to an understanding
_with Messrs. Martinez de la Rosa, Gareli, and Bur-
gos, as to the system of policy to be pursued. The
labours of the Committee of Finances have been
suspended by the fall of the late Knisrry, as the
new Cabinet agree in the necessity of raising a lean
to meet the present exigencies of the state until by
he development of its prosperity, the nation may
he able to provide for its own wants:. A new Direc-
tor of the Treasury wll be immediately appolirted,

F-rnando is dangerously ill, and has had the sacre-
ment administered to him. General Cruz has been
~tacked with an ieflimmation of the ehe.t."
The Sentinelle des Pyrenees. of Bayonne, of the
23,i ins., coetirms the news of the capture of tl.e
erei works aeed fort of Arbecteta, and gives the 1. de
ea wing details of the movements of the C lists pre.
veers to that event, which are not without ieterest :
" The in-agents of Navarre having met with some
reverse: in the valley of Berunda, where they had
•aken refuge brier the action of eetet a Ctrx, and in
ehteh th-y admit that they had 2
.000 men ons hors
de combat, approached the Frence ;ratifier. Zestra-
,,earregity, the Gimmander-in-C lief, Colonel Bravo,
C timid &vase, and stone membr is of the junta of
Navarre, arrived by forced marches on the 15th at
Burguette, Espinel, and Ronceveaux, three leagues
from Aldudes, with 1,100 or 1,200 infantry and 500
horses, bringing with them 12 prisoner-, and 250
or 300 mules ladeit with their baggage. The
soldiers were armed with English muskets, but were
badly mounted, clothed and paid. They complained
hat they had aot received any pay for twenty
dare They steal whatever falls into their
hands, and several of the inhabitants of Bur-
guette have been forced to lemove their valuable
effects to Eldudes to escape their rapine. Since
he has arrived Zemalacarreguy has made three
incursions into the valley of Ahescua, to
disarm 1,500 of the inhabitants who bad taken
up arms for the Queen, but who gave them up
without resistance." After announcing the capture
of Arbacieta, the Sentinelle continues :—" General
Lorenzo, at the head of 3,000 men, has left Los
Arcos to pursue the rebels, and Valdes is marching
to Navarre with the same number of troops. El
Pastor, ere long, will make a movement on his side.
By means of these combined attacks, the Carlists
will be forced to throw themselves into the Bioga,
or take refuge in France."
The Augsburg Gazette of the 22d inst. has the
following extract of a private letter of the 13th from
Berlin :—" In order to improve the trade of East
and West Prussia, which has suffered considerably
from the exclusion system of Russia, our Govern-
ment has endeavoured to form a commercial treaty
with that Power. Councillor Semmler was sent to
St. Petersburgh to that effect ; everything was
going on favourably, the treaty was nearly termi-
nated, and the Prussian Plenipotentiary was about
to return, when Russia suddenly withdrew from the

negotiation. The French journals have attributed
the removal of the French Ambassador at the Court
of Sweden to the production of a vaudeville at
onB of the Parisian theatres, Le Camarade de Lit;
this is erroneous, as, from what we learn, M. de
St. Simon was recalled from Stockholm on ac-
count of improper conduct towards one of the
ladies of the Court." This journal has also the
following from Constantinople, dated the 31st
ult.--" The Sultan devotes great attention to his
troops; he is expecting instructors from France and
Italy, and levies will then be ordered in the pro-
vinces. It is intended to introduce a sort of coloni-

mutiny has broken out in the Egyptian

contrary, believe all this to be deception on the part
of the crafty Viceroy, who, is the event of his
Admiral being well received by the Sultan, had
already given orders to his Pachn to renew war with
the Porte in the ensuing spring. Tins, however,
appears improbable. The news from Alexandria is
not favourable. The Viceroy oppresses the coon ty

have taken place already but for the immense force

The Nurenzburg Correspondent of the 21st inst.
states, after a private letter from Berlin, that during
the illness of M. Ancillon the Crown Prince visited
him daily, morning and evening, passing hours in
conversing with him. It is generally said that since
his last journey the Prince is more than ever con-
vinced of the necessity of constitutional measures,
and that this opinion of the heir to the Prussian
throne will have some weight at the Congress of
Vienna, as M. Ancillon is to proceed thither as
soon as his heal h will permit.

tion within the next eight years."
