THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1850.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
if any additional evidence were needed to prove
that the vote of the House of Lords on Monday was
dictated by foreign Powers, to serve foreign as con-
tradistinguished from English objects, and to farce on
a reluctant SOVEREIGN and areluctant country a new
Ministry, nomiLated by the Absolutist Powers of
Europe, and bound to betray English to Absolutist
interests on all occasions, it would be found
in the official announcement of that division
by the French ro-actionary Ministry in their
official journals. The Patrie has the following :
" THE BRIIISII MINISTRY IN A MINORITY.

" The Government has received the following tele-
graphic dispatch, dated London, this day, 18th June,
four o'clock in the morning:—
" THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER

OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" The motion of Lord Stanley, relative to the affairs
of Greece, has just been adopted, after a sitting of
eleven hours' duration, by a majority of 37.
" The mutt surpassed the expectations of the men
the most disposed to believe that the Ministry would
find itself in a minority.'"

The last phrase clearly establishes a solidarito between
the Tory peers and the foreign Cabinets. It would
likewise go far to show that some of the foreign
diplomatic body in all,: country have established in-
timate relations with the Opposition in Parliament.
It will be remembered that the same Tory party
wasted a vast deal of virtuous indignation' some two
years since, on Sir lIENIT BULWER and
,the Pro-
gresistaa of Spain, when it was supposed that som
such relations as those now subsisting between the
Tory Opposition and the Embassies of France and
established between the English
ilniih Othe Deba's and Ordrc, exult
ppositi at adrid.

in this vote " as the commencement of j ustice and re-
paration for France," that is to say, as the inaugura-
tion of a system of policy which shall bind England
to aid the Absolutist Sovereigns of the Continent in
a crusade for the restoration of monarchy in France,
as the recommencement of the coalition of 1793, of
whichT he EnglandConst vir.ioiililn Y all cost, while the Bourbon
family reap all the advantage.
, the organ of the Elpi..., is
much more rational than the Bourbonist journals.
utPea/
It observes merely that Lord PALM casToN must get
a vote of approbation from the House of Commons, or
retire. The French Ministers take to themselves the
entire credit of the success of Lord STANLEY'S motion.
The Palrie has the following on the subject of the
Dotation Bill :

" The report of M. Flendin will probably be read to
the committc,3 tomorrow (this day). If any tirclitica-
dons in it should be considered necessary, the report,
instead of being deposited on Thursday, mill only ic
deposited on Friday, and, in that case, the discussion
will commence on it,l.uctia.r. In the not very probable
event of the report of it. Flandin bring adopted to-
morrow by the conamivee,
" the discussion will commence
on Friday.

The same journal sayr—
" The five members forming the minority of the com-
mittee have resolved to cause to be inserted in the report
a statement of the opinions they expres:icd in the course
of the deliberations. Ono of thLui, M. Lefebvre DurtAS,
will state in the tribune the wiivei which have induced
them to support to the cud the Government Bill, and
will support the amendment against the resolution of the
majority or nine."
M. EmtnE DE GInARDIN has announced that, in
consequence of his
election as representative for the
Bas foil), he has resigned the directorship of La
Presse.

Toe Asiembly on Tuesday rejected the first clause
of the proposition cf.M. NADAUD, the Socialist repre-
sentative, on the sul:ject the Association of Work-
men, by a majority of 296 to 208.
Toe Ordre btates that. in the questicn of the Presi-
dential dotatian, M. DE ELERDREL and M. DE DAL-
MATIE, both members of the Committee, intend to
propose that the whole sum demanded shall be voted,
either for the payment of the expenses of instalhtion,
or for the two years 1849 and 1850: and it adds that
it is very probable that one or other of these propo•
sitions will be voted by the Assembly by way of
compromise.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived.
Large bodies of troops are concentrated round the
capital, to be ready in case of any emergency that
may arise during the QUEEN'S confinement.
The central committee of the creditors of Spain,
formed to negotiate with the directing junta of the
public debt upon the subject of their claims, have
issued a circular to their brother creditors, urging
them to unite in their several localities to consult
upon the best measures to be adopted in the prcsqnt
position of their affairs, and to communicate the re-
sult of their deliberations to them (the central com-
mittee), who wiil be glad to receive their advice in
carrying the object of their institution into effect.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TW O O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton a; Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at nearly 5,000 bales, of which 700 American
were taken fir export and :300 on speculation. The
market closed steadily without alteration iu prices. The
sales comprised 4,000 Arnerican, 150 Egyptian at 74d.
to 81d., 500 Surat at 41d. to 50., and 100 Sea Islands at
Is. )4d. to Is. 7d. per lb.--Railway Shares were quiet
without any material alteration in prices.
The six weeks average price of Wheat is 395. 81 per
quarter for the towns which make official returns.
Accounts of the 18th instant, from Amsterdam, state
that the home Funds had experienced a decided advance,
owing to insportant purchases made. Most Foreign
Securities were likewise in favour, Spanish, Portuguese,
French, Russian, and Austrian being very animated.
Mexican were good. Dutch Two-and-3410f per Cents.

No ship arrivals have been announced, but we have
the remaind.r of the Overland Mail by the steamer.
The most stringent directions havasg been issued by
the Post-office authorities for the ontire suspension of
the delivery of letters on Sunday, great curiosity is ex-
pressed in the City to learn how far the measure will bo
liked by the trading community.
The melancholy details of the loss of the steam-ship
Orion, have excited not alone, grief, but extreme sur-
prise; the allegation that a dangerous and hidden rock
existed in a place so constantly passed by vessels as
Fortpatrick it, and that the locality was, nevertheless,
down in the charts as "deep wabr," appearing to justify
the coneltvion that gross carelessness exists in some
quarter, arid that it is impossiWe w say how soon we may
hear of like di,asters elsewhere; nor can it be otherwise
than a matter for surprise that the gentleman who states
his knonbdge of this rock, acquired during his service
as a nsval-packet commander, should not have communi-
cated it at once to the Admiralty. There can be but
ono consolatory reflection in this case, viz., that it may
lead to inquiry and to the remedy f the evil com-
pleined of.
The last week's Railway returns, as ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under:—

The English Funds have been higher again, but the
transactions have not been extensive. The questions
which Mr. Roebuck this evening intends to ask concern-
ing the intention of Government, after the vots of the
Lords upon the Greek affair, might have been supposed
to have bad ia'her a depressing effect upon prices, be-
caw e uncertainty is always made available by specu-
lators; but such is not the case, since every one is well
aware that L'ird ralm?rAen stands well in the Com-
mons. Consols have ht en quoted 96 to 961- for Account.

The Committee of xican Bondholders have given
notice of a further amount of dollars having been re-
ceived by the Severn for the dividend'', and also of tte
