EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SATURDAY, 4 O'CLOCK P.M.
Late on Thursday evening a telegraphic despatch
from Bayonne communicated to the Government
the news of the death of the King of Spain. A
special messenger, despatched by the French Am-
bassador from Madrid, had brought the information
to Bayonne. It is expected he will reach Paris in
the course of the afternoon, but probably too late to
allow of any particulars being forwarded by this
day's estafette. Soon after the arrival of the intel-
ligence, General Sebastiani communicated it to the
principal members of the corps diplomatique, most
of whom assembled at his residence at an early hour
yesterday morning, for the purpose of learning all
that the Minister knew upon the subject. M.
Offalia, the Spanish Ambassador, had a long inter-
view with Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambas-
sador, after receiving the important information from
General Sebastiani. Up to the present moment, I
do not hear of any other telegraphic despatch hay-
iug been received from the same quarter. It may,
therefore, be inferred that a few days have been
suffered to elapse at Madrid before Don Carlos made
it known whether it was in the character of the le-
gitimate successor to the Crown, or in the capa-
city of Regent during the minority of his
rum., that he would place himself at the
head of the State. Here there is much doubt, con-
jecture, and a variety of opinion as to the course that
Don Carlos will pursue. There is reason to believe,
howe er, that even if it be his intention to annul
his brother's decision on the invalidity of the &die
law, he will find it advisable, in the first instance,
to assume the reins of the Government as Regent.
By that means he may have it in his power to set
aside every difficulty which might stand in his way
to the throne, and reach it with less risk of raising a
civil war than by a premature proclamation of his
pretensions. You will perceive by the Cours Au-
thentique, that the Spanish rente underwent a con-
siderable decline on the news of Ferdinand's death
becoming known, and that the Cortes bonds rose to
the extent of nearly 3 per cent. The holders of the
last-mentioned stock seem to expect that the Cortes
will be ultimately called upon to settle the order cf
succession, and they hope that amidst the conten-
tions which may arise, the liberal party will acquire
sufficient influence to give permanency to the power
of the Cortes. In some of the private letters re-
ceived from Madrid, it is mentioned as a rumour
current in that city, that the Queen of Spain was in
the third month of pregnancy. Should this prove
to be the case, none of the expected contentions will
of course take place for the present, as in the event

tled at once.

A further decline has also occurred in the prices
of the French funds, but it is not owing to the af-
fairs of Spain. Those of Belgium and Holland
have a much greater influence over the transactions
of our money market. No doubt is any longer en-
tertained that coercive measures will be resorted to
by this Government to compel the King of Holland
to subscribe to the treaty with Belgium. In reply
to the last pressing communication on die subji ct
from the French to the British Government, the
latter has declared that no objection will be made
to any steps which the former may adopt to enforce
the resolutions of the Conference. The French
army in the north has, therefore, received orders to
hold itself in readiness to march at the bidding of
King Leopold. A corps of 25,000 men is ready to
cross the frontiers; and a similar force is to follow
if found necessary. There is also reason to believe
that a squadron will sail from Cherbourg for the
Scheldt : and it is said that it will be joined there by
an English fleet. E'en armed interference, however,
does really take place, it is expected that the operations
by land will settle matters in a much shorter time than
any by sea, espec'ally at this time of the year. No sort
of doubt or uneasiness is entertained here as to the
result of a war between Belgium and Holland, if
the former is assisted by France. But the specula-
tors at the Bourse are not at all satisfied that
Prussia would not take a part, and that, too, in fa-
vour of Holland. One of the Ministerial Papers
has endeavoured to dissipate their fears on that
head, by publishing a letter of the 15th instant, from
Cologne, according to which there was a general re-
trograde movement among the Prussian troops sta-
tioned near the Rhine. Some corps were falling
back on Erfurt and Magdeburg, and the whole of the
artillery, under the orders of General Muffling, was
retiring towards Munster. According to the same
authority, the intentions of the Prussian Govern-
merit are of the most pacific kind, arid there is no
reason at present to apprehend any change. These
efforts of the Ministerial Paper do not seem to have
produced any very favourable impression at the
Bourse to-day, and prices have remained to-day
nearly as low as they were yesterday. Very little
business was done.

It is reported in our best-informed political circles,
that the proposition of an armistice between Don
Pedro and Don Miguel has recently been trans-
mitted to Oporto and Lisbon. This proposition is
said to have come originally from Vienna, but nothing
has yet transpired as to the terms on which it seems
to be anticipated by the Austrian Government that
a pacification between the two brothers can be
effected. It is, of course, understood, that the Go-
vernments of England and France have been con-
sulted, and that it is with their consent that the
proposition has been transmitted to Portugal. There
is reason to believe that the Count Andreossy, whose
arrival in England some of the English papers have
lately mentioned, had full powers to settle the point
with Lord Palmerston. Z.

(From the Journal des Debats.)
The hope of an accommodation, or rather of $
new compromise, between Belgium and Holland, bf
way of negotiation, seems vanished.

King cf the Belgians to refuse his assent to tbew;

new project, which conciliated as much as possible
the considerations due to the sacrifices of Holland,
and the rights of Belgiuin, was proposed to the
Dutch Government. It is rejected.
After these last and useless efforts the Conference
of London has only to enforce the execution of till
stipulations to which are attached the signatures c"
all the Plenipotentiaries of Europe, and the ratifiel
tions of their Sovereigns.
Coercive means were foreseen in the course of the
negotiation. The moment for employing them Pi
arrived.

The combined fleets of France and England ate
about to blockade the ports of Holland.

of
Europe cannot but render justice to the spirit -
candour, moderation, and patience which has 113 t
two years directed the policy of the French Govern'
merit. Europe cannot be alarmed at a situation,
which, though new, was foreseen. The genet
peace now reposes on bases too solid to be disturue
by an event the limits of which are prescribed bet;
forehand, by the certainty of a prompt decision, 3`,,),,
by the good faith of the two Powers who underttni

The change of Ministry which has taken place at
Brussels has lost a great deal of its importance 1,
consequence of the peremptory refusal of the ICI
of Holland to accede to the last project preseotet.
by the Conference. The determination caused o_ll.
the part of France and England by this refusal was

not known at Brussels at the date of M. de Mule-
naere's resignation. General G appointment
Was made in a spirit of conciliation. The King of the
Belgians wished to place at the head of his Cabinet
a man not bound by any personal pledge to the
Chambers.

The rupture of the negotiations and the coercive
Measures of France and England have changed tile
aspect of affairs. There is no longer a peace or a
war ministry at Brussels—there is a ministry there
which expects the execution of the stipulations
adopted and ratified by the five great Powers of
Europe.

rirHE ELECTORS of the BOROUGH
iv, of LAMBETH are respectfully invited to attend a
i4FETING to be held at the HORNS TAVERN, KEN-

To THE ELECTORS OF THE METROPOLITAN
BOROUGH OF LAMBETH.
GENTLEMEN',
THE most flattering success has attended
the exertions of my friends to secure my return as
one of your representatives in Parliament. lam deeply
grateful to them and to you.
I lament that the state of my health continues such that
a would be imprudent for me to attempt a personal can-
Vas,s;.--but having no recommendation except such as my
Public conduct and public professions may give me in your
Pink; I doubt whether my private solicitations might
ipt he misplaced and unacceptable. I should, however,
""Ply regret that any elector could ascribe to me disre-
spect or indifference. Nothing could be more at variance
Kith my estimate of the distinction which will attach to
those who will be selected by you to assist in perfecting our
national institutions, and, fur the first time, to legislate on
Your behalf. I fear indeed that such an honour may far
exceed my thserts, but it will stimulate me to further
_ef-
forts in the cause of public liberty, and thus I may here-
after acquire a better title to your favour.
It list particularly gratified me that gentlemen who are
Promoting the interests of other candidates have expressed
goodwill towards me. This kindness has, however,
brought upon me, at different periods, the conflicting im-
putations that I had coalesced with each of them.
Called forward by a generous demonstration on my be-
half, it would be peculiarly unbecoming if I should, by any
coalition, acquire support not spontaneously afforded me,
and attempt to transfer, in exchange for it, the votes of
others which neither are, nor ought to be, at my disposi-
tion. I feel, moreover, that not being an elector myself,
any arrangements on my part, which could affect the
choice of my colleague, would be quite unwarrantable. I
stand, therefore, singly before you—dependent altogether,
upon your opinion of my fi ness for your service, and I
doubt nut that the other candidates equally rest their hope
on the free and unbiassed operation of your elective rights.
In the course of a few days I shall revisit the metropolis
and seek some opportunities of meeting you in the different
districts of your borough. I shall then be anxious further
to expound the principles which guide my public conduct.
You are entitled to the most unreserved explanations be-
fore you confide your dearest interests to my charge. I
can scarcely hope that all will concur in my views upon
every public question, but I am as incapable of misleading
Y man to gain his present favour, as I should be here-
after of betraying the trust which you may repose in tne.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and faithful Servant,
CHARLES TENNYSON.
