LA TEST IN TEL LIGENCE

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

FRANCE.

PARIS, JANUARY 26.

The Constitutionnel of to-day publishes an article,
signed by M. Paulin Limayrac, with reference to
the recently published despatches of Mr. Bigelow.

In this article M. Limayrac shows that M.
Drouyn de L'huys could not give explanations with
regard to acts of internal administration in Mexico,
for which the Mexican Government alone was re-
sponsible. The writer adds:—" The United States
cannot call the resistance offered by a number of
plundering adventurers war, after refuting the title
of belligerents to the Confederates of the South."

SPAIN.
MADRID, JAN. 25.

The draft of an address to the Queen was read
in to-day's sitting of the Senate. It expresses re-
gret-at the breaking out of hostilities between Spain
and Chili, but hopes that after the refusal of the
latter to satisfy the Spanish claims, the Queen's
Government will cause the honour and dignity of
Spain to be respected. The address also expresses
the satisfaction of the Senate at the domestic re-
forms announced by the Government.
MADRID, Jan. 22.

On the evening of the 20th inst., Senor Hurtado
again brought forward his request to the Govern-
ment in the Chamber of Deputies, for information
relative to the capture of the Covadonga.
Senor Posada Herrera, Minister of the Interior,
in reply, confirmed the news of the capture of that
vessel and the suicide of Admiral Pareja. Relative
to the present intentions of the Cabinet he said—
" The Government is resolved to take every measure
necessary to retrieve this misfortune. What these
measures may be, and what form they will take, I
cannot inform the Congress at the present moment.
What I may state to the Congress is, that all that
can be done by a Government determined to main-
tain the honour of the Spanish flag, and to defend
the interests and rights of the nation, the present
Ministry is ready to do."
The official despatch announcing the entry of the
insurgents, under Prim, into Portugal is as follows :
" The Governor of Badajoz to the Minister of War.
Badajoz, Jan. 21, 10 2 a.m.

" At two o'clock yesterday afternoon the insur-
gents reached the frontier and entered Portugal,
delivering up their arms and equipments and
some horses to the Mayor of Ericinasola. They
had no encounter with the Royal troops pursuing
them. The bearer of the despatch lost his way,
thereby delaying the arrival of the intelligence."
The Captain-General of Catalonia reports that
the advanced guard of the royal column operating
in the Priorato saw at Gratallops, towards noon,
on the 20th, a body of about 40 insurgents, who
dispersed upon perceiving them. The Captains-
General of Arragoq; Valencia, Navarre, and Seville
announce undisturbed tranquillity in their respective
districts.

The Madrid journals continue their excitations to
the Spanish Government to take summary and un-
sparing vengeance upon Chili for the disgrace suf-
fered by the Spanish flag in the capture of the
Covadonga. The Espanol demands that the 50 guns
from the Spanish frigate Isabel, deposited in the
military museum of Santiago, should be transferred
on board the Villa de Madrid, and the Spanish
flag, from the Covadonga, now displayed in the
Cathedral of Santiago, should be recovered and
hoisted on board the Esmeralda. It urges, in con-
clusion, that there should be no truce and no quar-
ter, and says, " Wherever may be seen a palace, a
house, or a hut, inhabited by those spurious sons,
by those parricides, upon all these let the Spanish
bombs rain fire." The Pabellon Nacional says the
hour of consideration is past, and treaties cannot
now come until after the triumph of the Spanish
arms.

It is thought very probable that Admiral Pinzon
will be appointed to the command of the Pacific
squadron.

The entire want of support from the Progresists
experienced by General Prim in his insurrectionary
movement is attributed to the suspicion in which
he is held by the mass of that party who do not
recognise him as their genuine leader and represen-
tative. Senor Olizaga is said to be resolutely op-
posed to General Prim at the present moment. He
has also, it is stated, written from his retirement at
Vico energetic letters to the most important men
of his party in Madrid, counselling them to remain
tranquil, and to impress upon their friends that the
seditious movement of Prim was a wild and ill-
judged attempt: It was nothing more than a mili-
tary movement, and General Prim was not the man
whom Providence reserves to assure the destiny
and the future of the Progresist party.

THE BODY FOUND NEAR WATERLOO-BRIDGE.—
Yesterday Mr. W. J. Payne, coroner for the Duchy
of Lancaster, resumed at the Essex Head Tavern, Essex-
street, Strand, the inquiry relative to the discovery of
the body found near the site of the old steamboat-pier at
Waterloo-bridge. It will be recollected the remains were
found sft. below the surface "sanded up" in the bed of the
river, where some excavators were digging for the founda-
tions of the Thames embankment. A gold eyeglass, pencil-
case, the remnant of some articles of clothing of military
make, and other articles were dug up at the same time. A
key which was found was identified by Mr. Chubb, of St.
Paul's-churchyard, as one of a set of 30 which he made in
1839 for one of the officers of the War Department, and the
court was adjourned in order that inquiries might ke in-
stituted at the Government offices with a v:ew to the iden-
tification of the deceased. Upon the reassembling of the
jury, the coroner said that he had communicated with the
Royal Engineers-office at Buckingham-gate, for which
department Mr. Chubb had made the key, and he had re-
ceived an answer stating that a search of the books, tt.c.,
had led to a negative result. He had received a letter from
&person in Leman-street, Whitechapel, whose name was
undecipherable, stating that a person had disappeared about
25 years ago who was in the habit of f equenting gambling
houses. His brother, a man in poor circumstances, was
always of opinion that he had been murdered after a suc-
cessful night's gambling. The writer thought it more
likely that he had committed suicide after an unsuccessful
night. He was on terms of intimacy with people of rank,
and he used to boast of his fashionable associates. The
writer, however, thought that the supposed age (50 or 60
years) of the skeleton was much greater than that of the
person referred to. Mr. Bell, coroner's officer, said that he
had made inquiries and he found that Messrs. Ash, of
Broad-street, Golden-square, had made the teeth found
with the remains, but they did not know who had put
them in the gold case. He proposed that at the next meet-
ing of the Dentists' Society the case of teeth should be ex-
hibited, and as every dentist knew his own work it would
be most probably identified. The coroner adjourned the
inquest to await the result of further inquiries. •
