of a royal order published in the Madrid Gazette, de-
claring that foreign vessels discharging at one port in
Spain, and trading at the same or at another Spanish

THE AUTHOR OF THE " MISER'S SECRET." —A new
and higli'y-gifted novelist—of the Scott school—has come
forth in the arena of fiction, and one who bids fair to main-
tain bis ground against all competitors. We allude to the
author of the historical romance, under the title of "The
Mi,er's Secret; or, the Days of James the First," which has
deservedly become so great a favourite with all classes of
readers. The critics have with one accord assigned to the
author a place in the very first rank of living novelists, and
the public favour has fully confirmed their judgment. The
name of the writer of the " Miser's Secret" still continues
"a secret." On this point the Morning Post rays--!'We
know not who the author may be, but sure we are that if not
already celebrated, his name must shortly become so, on ac-
count of the rare excellences the present production dis-
plays ;" while the Standard affirms it to be work of
genius which will be read a mud and a third time."

The National has the following-on the financial re-
port presented to the Assembly by M. Govlti :
" Now look at the movement of the floating debt since
the election of the 10:h Deccmber. On the 15th Ja-
nuary, 1849. this debt was 321,0;33 200 f. Ca the Ist
Jlnuary, 1850, it rose to 598,4.10,7001., from which a
sum of seventy millions being deducted as having hferi
only talcfm temporarily, the amount of money du' to
third parties amounts at this moment 0 528,540,900 f. It
weu'd appear that the Government of Louis N. Bona-
parte has borrowed within seventeen months a sum of:,
207,507,500 f., which, with sales of stock derived frorn
the old savings banks, 38,000,000 f., and with the pre-
posed sale of forest trees to the extent of 59,000,000 L,
show that an addition has been made to the natior,al
debt, by the present Government, of 295,507,500 f. Let
us acknowledge that the prosperity of M. Louis Bona-
parte's Government resembles very much that which led
the dynasty of July to its ruin."
The following propositions have been made by the
Minister of Public Works to the Committee of the
Assembly on the subject of the Paris and Avignon
Railway. The Minister proposes to grant the line
as far as Lyons to one company, and that eie sec-
tion from Lyons to Avignon should he completed by
the State. The concession of the line from Paris to
Lyons is to be made on the following conditions :
ninety-nine years of possession; four par cent. in-
terest guaranteed on the capital expended, which is
not to exceed 190 millions ; share in returns above
eight per cent.; reimbursement to the state of sixty-
five millions, fifteen being in ready money, and fifty
in five annuities with interest. For the completion
of the section from Lyons to A'vignon the Govern-
mentiejjW demand a credit of 18 millions upon the
budgets-n(1850 and I RAI ;JD begin immediately the ,
works on the section from Avignon to Valence.
Accounts have been received from the River Plate
to the 20th May. Up to that date Roses had refused
to accede to the modifications proposed by France to
the Lepredour treaty.
