MADRID, MAY 17.

In the sitting of the Senate yesterday, General
Calonge presented an amendment to the address, in
which he attacked the Vicalvarist Generals who
got up ne movement of 1854. Marshal Narvaez,
in opposing the amendment, declared that it was
the firm determination of the Queen that her Go-

vernment should follow a conciliatory system, and
such was also the desire of the members of the

Cabinet.

Iu the same sitting, M. Pidal, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, presented a bill to authorize the ratification
of the treaty fixing the boundaries of Spain and
France. The Government presented in the Con-
gress a bill on the press, increasing the caution-
money to 15,000 douros. Articles are to be signed,
and the jury to decide on press offences is to be
composed of judges of first instance.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

The King of Bavaria arrived at Fontainebleau
last evening, at six o'clock. Ho was received at
the railroad by Marshal Magnan and General
Fleury, the Emperor's Aide-de-camp. The Prefect
of the Seine and Marne and the General com-
manding the district were also in attendance, and
the Emperor's carriages were at hand to convey his
Bavarian Majesty and suite the Palace. A squa-
dron of Chasseurs of the Guard formed the escort.
A double lino of the 4d Regiment of the Grenadiers
of the Guard was drawn up in the courtyard of the
Palace, and a detachment of the Cent Gardes stood
en echelon on the steps of the grand staircase known
as _E'er a Cheval.

As soon as the party appeared in sight the Em-
peror, followed by the officers on duty, advanced
to the foot of the staircase to meet the King and
conduct him to the Empress, who was waiting for
him at the top of the stairs. The Emperor and
King entered the Gallery of Francis 1., where the
persons belonging to the household were presented.
He then, accompanied by his host, retired to the
apartments prepared for him. The King is accom-
panied in his journey to Paris by Generals Delpy
do la Roche, Baron du Thana ; M. Phelersteniche,
Secretary ; M. Grill, Physician ; and M. Cetti,
Orderly Officer. He will spend five days at Fon-
tainebleau, and enter Paris on the 22d, where he
intends remaining till the beginning of June.
The accounts from the agricultural districts con-
cur in describing the appearance of the growing
crops as "magnificent." Wheat and flour are
again looking down in nearly all the French mar-
kets, notwithstanding the efforts of speculators to
maintain prices in order to dispose of their stock in
hand, which they purchased at the commencement
of winter.

It is currently reported in official circles that ne-
gotiations are about to be commenced between
France, Prussia, and the German States for the
conclusion of a commercial convention, to be esta-
blished on new base's.
The propositions for the arrangement of the
affair of Neuchatel have beea purely and simply
accepted. by Prus.,ia. That Power renounces un-
conditionally the payment by Switzerland of
1,000,000 francs.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, MAIr 17.

We have already intimated by telegraph that
the betrothal of Prince Frederick William of
Prussia with the Princess Royal of England has
been published in the Staats Anzeiger of to-day, a
translation of the announcement itself may still
not be unwelcome, as these events do not occur
every day :
" His Majesty the King having been pleased to-day
to inform the Royal Family and the Court that, with
his own approbation and the consent of her Majesty the
Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire-
land, the betrothal of his Royal Ilighnes Prince Frede-
rick William of Prussia with Princess Victoria Adelaide
Marie Louise, Princess Royal of Great Britain and Ire-
land and Duchess of Saxony, has taken place.
A similar announcement has been made on the part
of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland
to her Majesty's Privy Council.
" This joyful event, so gratifying to the Royal House
and to the entire monarchy, is hereby made public by
command of his Majesty the King.
"The High Chamberlain of His Majesty the King,
General Fiell-Nlarshal Count Doinie.
"Berlin, May 16, 1857."
