You will be happy to learn that our difference with
Venezuela has ended in a satisfactory manner. A just re-
paration has been made to our country for offences perpe-
trated against it, and important guarantees will prevent the
repetition of similar misdeeds.
Disorder and excess have reaohed their height in the un-
fortunate country of Mexico. Treaties having been violated
and rights forgotten, my subjects having been exposed to
serious attacks and continual dangers, it became indispen-
sable at length to make an example of salutary rigour.
With this object my Government had made the neces-
sary preparations, when two great nations found that they
had to complain of acts of violence on the part of the Mexi-
can authorities. Our wrongs were common ; our action
should be joint. My Government desired as much. Proper
steps for this purpose were at first favourable, but the re-
sult did not correspond with the desires of the ether two
nations.

Subsequently France, England, and Spain arranged toge-
ther to obtain that satisfaction which was due to them, and
to prevent the repetition of offences which scandalised the
world and outraged humanity. Thus the design will be ac-
complished, the execution of which has been the constant
object of my government. At the proper time an account
will be rendered to you of the convention which, with this
object, has been signed by the representatives of the three
power.

That Spanish island the first discovery of which immor-
talised the name of Columbus forms once more a part of our
monarchy. The inhabitants of St. Domingo, menaced by
foreign enemies, wearied by internal disorders, invoked in
the midst of its conflicts the august name of the nation to
which it had been indebted for civilisation and life. It
would have been unworthy of us to contemplate its suffer-
ings without emotion, to disown its appeal, inspired by
great recollections and by an inextinguishable love for Spain.
Convinced that this appeal, that these wishes were sponta-
neous and unanimous, I did not hesitate to welcome them,
more attentive to honour than to the convenience of my
people.

The inhabitants of St. Domingo have seen their wishes
realised. The elements of riches which their fertile soil
contains begin to be developed in the bosom of profound
peace, and the zeal as well as the justice of my government
and of the authorities will efface the traces of past discords.
The execution of the stipulations of the peace of Vad -ras
which has terminated a glorious war, has met with serious
difficulties. In order to remove them, the Sultan of
Morocco sent to my court his brother, the Prince Muley
Abbas, in quality of ambassador, and in a few days satis-
tory arrangements were made.

The convention which will be submitted to you effects no
modification of the treaty of peace. All the rights acquired
by that treaty preserve their primitive force. In fixing the
manner of paying the war indemnity, I have consulted the
sentiments of the Spanish nation.
Grave events by their tendency to alarm society have dis-
turbed public order in some parts of the province of Anda-
lusia. In order to establish peace, and to punish the
authors of so criminal an attempt, it has not been necessary
to resort to any extraordinary measure.
My Government has left the repression of these offences
to the tribunals established by law.
The definitive organisation of the public administration
claims a prompt inquiry, and the vote of the projects of law
presented in the previous legislature. The people and the
piovinces will obtain, by means of the law in harmony with
their remarkable progress, that considerable share which
belongs to them in the directi3n of their affairs, and in the
care of their interests, but these measures will not diminish
the means which authority requires to preserve public order
—that prime necessity of states.
My Government desires that the liberty of the press
should be protected by a law which, in leaving the field
open for the_expression of, thought, may repress the excess
of passions.'
To give certain pledges to individual liberty, by conciliat-
ing it with order and with the tutelary principles of society,
this is the grand problem which political laws have to re-
solve, in order not to provoke absurb reactions or fatal dis-
orders.

The reform of the electoral law will soon require your
serious attention. The extension of the suffrage will cause
every legitimate interest to be represented in Congress.
Those measures which experience counsels will prevent
fraud and pressure from impairing the purity of elections.
The law which represses violence and fraud guarantees the
free expression of public opinion.
My Government will present without delay the budget
of the State for the ensuing year. The produce of existing
taxes will suffice to cover our ordinary expenses ; those oc-
casioned by the extension of public works, by the increase
of the navy, and of war materials have been provided for
by funds already voted. It will not, therefore, be necessary
to require new sacrifices from my people.
The prosperity of my colonial provinces is the constant
object of my solicitude. Their administrative organisation
is improved every day by institutions and reforms already
preyed in the Peninsula, and which I have resolved to
establish in conformity with their special requirements.
We must hope that foreign events which have produced so
fearful a disturbance in the industrial and commercial rela-
tions of the world will but momentarily affect the progres-
sive development of the great riches which they contain.
The mission of legislators and of governments in this age
of strange changes is arduous and thorny. Vain would it
be to attempt to fulfil it without the assistance of God, and
the practice of those virtues which render people worthy
of the blessings of freedom. It is by pefirming these with
perseverance, and by devoting all our efforts to the inte-
rests of our country, that we shall advance daily in the
esteem of other powers, and that Spain will march forward
protected from all disturbance, under the a3gis of constitu-
tional laws, to that high destiny which Providence has re..
served to her.

ROYAL COLOSSETMI.—" Paper : its sources, manu-
facture, and various applications," is the title of a lecture
now in course of delivery at the above institution by Dr.
Bachhoffner, the lessee, and for so many years the principal
lecturer at the Polytechnic Institution. It is impossible to
fix upon a subject of more importance, or more apropos to
the present period; as the abolition of the paper duty is
likely to open up a new erea—if not in the trade, at least
in the fibrous materials employed in the manufacture of
paper. Commercially speaking, paper holds an important
position as a branch of the manufactures of the United
Kingdom, and was, until the last budget, a source of con-
siderable revenue; this will be fully apparent when we
quote the doctor's figures, who stated that during the last
year no less than 223 millions of pounds weight of paper
was made in Great Britain and Ireland, and upon which
nearly one million and z 1 half of money passed into the Ex-
chequer as duty. The subject was most ably treated by Dr.
Bachhoffner, whose pleasant conversational style of impart-
ing information will be well remembered by the old fre-
quenters of the Polytechnic Institution. The lecture is to
be given every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and will
be followed, we understand, by one on cotton and its appli-
cations.

LITTLE SWITZERLANDS.—Dotted over the map of
Europe, there are sundry districts more or less known
which, from some picturesque features in their respective
neighbourhoods, are fondly compared by their inhabitants

considering The formerthe extent of t
et these
which
Europe is now intersected by railways, it would be difficult
to mention a corner of the Continent less resorted to by
tourists than that part of Bavaria in which the other is
situated. This is still more singular, since the district
alluded to is coasted on two sides by railways, connecting
the important cities of Frankfort, Leipzig, and Munich.
The absence of English trrvellers is especially remarkable,
since the well-known end interesting cities of Nuremberg
and Augsburg are on the same lines of railway, and Dresden
and Berlin may be reached by them. A trip from Frank-
fort to the east as far as the town of Bamberg, and then
into the Franconian Switzerland, accomplished in a short
time and at no very frightful expense, will introduce the
traveller to more interesting towns and scenery than would
be thought possible. Only one thing is wanting—namely,
a familiarity with the German language. Here and there,
no doubt, in the larger towns, waiters and landlords may be
may be met with who have learnt their art on the Rhine,
and can practise their French and English on the usual
terms, when occasion serves, in ttiese outlying districts
but away from the great high-road such accomplished in-
dividuals are rare ; and as we gradually increase our dis-
tance, and approach the hills and forests, they die out alto-
