ETON.
PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO TIM REV. DR. KEATE.
A most gratifying scene took place in the College on Sunday,
a scene as honourable to the character of Dr. Keate, who has
for nearly five-and-twenty years presided over that great school,
as it was worthy of the Etonians themselves. Shortly after
twelve o'clock the whole body of the sixth form waited on the
Doctor with a magnificent silver vase and two wine-coolers—
the former a copy of the celebrated Warwick vase, the latter
from two beautiful antiques, the work of Storr and Mortimer.
The Captain of the School, Mr. Phinn, then addressed Dr.

Keate in a very feeling and eloquent speech expressive of their
deep regret at his loss, and concluding with an earnest prayer
for his future happiness. Of Dr. Keate's reply we are unable
to make any proper statement. He was much overcome by
.he whole scene, and expressed his gratitude to the boys,
shaking hands with each of them. The whole of the boys
then assembled in the upper school, vhen Dr. Keate took
an affectionate leave of them ; and in the course of his ad-
dress he stated that the prosperity of Eton had been as much
supported by the uniformly gentlemanly bearing of the boys,
and the aid he had received from his assistants as from any
merits of his own.

INSCRIPTION ON TIIE VASE.
" Presented by the existing members of Eton School to the
Rev. John Keate, D.D., on his retirement from the Head Master-
ship, July 30, 1834, as a testimony of the high sense which they
entertain of his exquisite taste and accurate scholarship, so long
and so successfully devoted to their impromment, and of the firm,
yet parental, exercise of his authority, which has conciliated the
affection, while it has commanded the respect of his scholars."

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Journal de Commel ce.)

The Tory and legitimist journals have succeeded in singu-
larly perverting in France and England the public opinion on
the present state of Spain. It is generally believed at Lon-
don and Paris, and above all in the southern departments, that
the insurrection in the north of Spain is formidable, and that
Don Carlos, in declaring himself the head of it, places in dan-
ger, along with the Government of the Queen Regent, all the
hopes founded upon it by those who wish for the progress of
enlightenment and civilization. We may, however, easily
convince ourselves that the case is otherwise.

If we consult the recent statistics of Spain by M. Moreau
de Jonnes, we find that the provinces, which, to preserve their
ancient privileges, oppose the new order of things, have the
following extent and population :
Square Number of Per square
Leagues. Inhabitants. Leagues.
Biscay
Navarre
Alava
Guissuscoa 65 • 135,83$

636,477

1,000

We see that these countries, of which so much is said, have
hardly the extent of one of our smallest departments, and that
their population, which, every morning is represented as so
formidable, hardly exceeds the number of inhabitants in the
Puy-de-Mine, or in Finisterre. But not one-half of these
provinces has taken part in the insurrection. The towns have
remained strangers to it ; and it is only in the mountainous
districts, which are peopled with smugglers, that the revolt
has found declared partizans. In examining the movements
of Zumalacarraguy, we see, in fact, that the excursions of that
chief are confined within a territory of which the extreme
points are hardly 20 leagues from each other ; which limits
the insurrection to a territory of about 300 square leagues,
and only leaves to support it a population of 300,000 inhabi-
tants of all ages and sexes.
It is evident, from these figures, that the young Queen Isa-
bella, her patriotic Government, and the destinies of the rege-
neration of Spain, are no more exposed, by the arms of the
Biscayan mountaineers, than France would be if the depart-
ment of the Correze, or of the Creuse, were to declare war
against the rest of the kingdom, and show an intention of
marching upon Paris.
It must be evident that the Biscayan insurrection is a kind
of chouannerie, withour power to produce any political event,
or to prevent Spain from following the course of her destinies.
We believe that Don Carlos, who has allowed himself to be
abused fora moment by the exaggerations and promises of the
Tories, bitterly regrets the dangerous game he is now playing ;
and it cannot be doubted that he immediately saw among the
insurgents, how much their situation differed from that of which
he had received such a brillian description in England. The
measures which have been ordered augur the approaching ter-
mination of the drama. Their object is to arrest, by sufficient
force, the insurgents, who, driven by the troops of Rodil to
the extremity of the Spanish territory, will speedily enter ours,
and might become turbulent and dangerous guests. It is to be
hoped that nothing in the execution of those measures will risk
their success ; and that the duty of granting an asylum to these
fugitives will not become injurious to the public safety.

(From the Quotidienne.)

We have received from Prague, under date 16th July, the
following intelligence :
" A touching and patriotic solemnity, the festival of Saint
Henri, collected yesterday together, in the ancient Palace of
the Kings of Bohemia, a few faithful Frenchmen around the
young Prince, who was, by an unexampled catastrophe, doomed
the same day to Ro) alty and exile, and who, by a simultaneous
effect of right, which is imprescriptible, and of violence, which
lasts but for a time, has, at one and the same time, received
the inheritance and lost it.

" Adversity, which reduces the Pe of our Kings to a mere
family meeting, gives it, on the other hand, an indescribably
magical effect, unknown even in the days of their splendour
and prosperity, and the power of which is without limit over
high and meditating minds.
" In the eyes of those Frenchmen called upon yesterday, in
the land of exile, to express sorrows and wishes which will be
echoed in the forty thousand communes of France, what gua-
rantees and revelations did we not discover in that noble and
intelligent physiognomy—in that animated gesture—in that
expressive and short word—in that look full of mind and pro-
mise I What a fortunate and consoling comparison there is
between this adolescence which scarcely begins—between this
life, at its opening bestrewed with promises and expectations,
and those systems of falsehood and of usurpation, so old and so
degraded, though they are but of so recent a date.
" Madame came from Brandis to Prague for the fete of her
son, no doubt to bring him the good wishes of a strong mind
and of an intelligent affection—those good wishes with which
every one is acquainted beforehand, because they are those of
every body. And when, in the evening, at the dinner which
brought together all the Royal Family, his august grandfather
gave the health of the young King, it was easy to see that the
old monarch, in drinking to the continuance 'of his race, drank
at the same time to the better fate of France, to the reconcili-
ation of the parties which distract her, to her happiness and
glory, placed afresh under the safeguard of the principle
which has done so much for her, and which alone can bring
her, and Europe with her, to safety and happiness."

PARIS.

THE FETES OF JULY.-FIRST DAY.

It is a remarkable circumstance that by the programme the
fetes of July have this year been confined to two days, the 28th
and the 29th. The only sign of Sunday being the 27th was,
the placing of new tri-coloured flags, according to annual cus-
tom, over the burial places of the victims who fell in 1830.
It was not till yesterday that even the masts raised upon the
Pont Neuf were dressed with their pennons, bearing the in-
scription, " 27e, 28e, et 29e, Juillet." The different churches
in which solemn services were performed yesterday, were
hung with black cloth, extending to without the portals,
and some of them bore inscriptions similar to the above.
The attendance in general was very thin, as, from some
want of understanding among the authorities charged with
the arrangement of the ceremonies, the funeral services
were fixed for eight o'clock, and the review for nine,
and, in consequence, few persons resorted to the churches,
except the relations and friends of the deceased. At
six in the morning, at noon, and at six in the even-
ing, the guns on the platform of the Hotel des Invalides,
and others stationed in front of the Hotel de Ville, were
fired in honour of the day. At an early hour the drums were
beating in all quarters at Paris to call together the National
Guards and the garrison troops to the grand military spectacle
that formed the principal feature of the day. By eight o'clock
some of the legions and regiments began to take the stations
assigned them, but the lines were not completed till between
nine and ten, and consequently the King did not come to the
ground till an hour later than announced in the programme.
The troops were drawn up in the Rues de Rivoli and de Cas-
tiglione, the place Vendome, the rue de la Paix, the Boule-
vards, and the Champs-Elysees, in double lines on both
sides. The National Guards consisted of the four le-
gions of the Banlieue, the twelve legions of Paris, and the
Cavalry Legion. The troops of the line were composed of the
sth and 11th light regiments ; the 31st, 32d, 36th, 37th, 43d,
76th, 54th, and 61st regiments of the line ; the 2d, 6th, and
7th Cuirassiers • the 2d and 4th Lancers, and Bth of Chas-
sours, the Ist of Hussars, the Ist of Artillery, and the battalion
of the Sapeurs and Pompiers. The review commenced ex-
actly at ten. The King, accompanied by the Duke of Orleans,
the Prince de Joinville, Marshal Gerard, Minister of War,

the Minister of the Interior, Marshals the Duke de Treviso,
Count Molitor, and Count Lobau, and a numerous and bril-
liant staff, was preceded and followed by detachments
of the Horse National Guards and the 2d Regiment of
Lancers. His Majesty passed along the double front
of lines, which extended as far as the Bastille, and was
every where received by shouts of Vive le Roil the ac-
clamations of the immense crowds that had assembled to wit-
ness the review being almost deafening. At one o'clock the
troops began to file off before the King, who took bis station
on horseback in the Place Vendome, opposite the Hotel of the
Minister of Justice. The troops were in excellent order, and
presented an ensemble that was truly magnificent. The num-
ber of the National Guards present on this occasion it is diffi-
cult to calculate. The numbers given by the different evening
papers vary from 18,000 to 40,000. We are inclined to think
that the latter is nearest the truth, as the ground assigned
them, and which was calculated with great exactness upon
some former reviews, was not sufficient, and at different
points whole battalions were compelled to fall in the rear.
The King, having perceived this, returned to pass them
iii review in their turn, and as the space between the
two lines could not admit the escort, his Majesty, accom-
panied only by the Duke of Orleans and Marshal Lobau,
passed along the narrow interval that separated the two fronts.
By reiterated shouts of Vive le Roi the National Guards
testified how highly they appreciated this mark of attention.
The weather was remarkably favourable for the review, as the
sun was veiled with clouds during nearly the whole time it
lasted, and yet no rain fell. In the course of the day, a great
number of persons visited the different spots where the victims
of the three days of July were interred. In the evening, the
gardens of the Tuilleries were filled by well-dressed company.
Military bands, placed under the windows of the chateau, alter-
nately performed various national airs, which were received
with shouts of Vive le Roi His Majesty returned this com-
pliment by coming to-the window, where his appearance was
hailed with repeated acclamations by the assembled crowds.
The King, it was generally remarked, looked in better health
than he has done for a length of time.
