thousand Inclosure Bills been passed, and the only
effect of them had been to give an additional quantity
of land to the squirearchy of the country. He could
assure the Noble Lord that the labouring poor through-
out the country "looked upon his scheme with
great suspicion." For our own part, we shall
watch the progress of Lord Woßsr.Ey's Bill with the
utmost care and jealousy, for, after the late discreditable
course pursued by the Conservative majority of the
House of Commons on the subject of the Factory
question, we have lost all faith in their sense of prin-
ciple and consistency; and most firmly believe that
they would even sanction a measure for transporting
every tenth poor man in the country, provided that it
met with the approbation of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The
very term " Conservative" is hateful to us. It is a
synonytne for political sycophancy, time-serving, and
"trickery of the basest and most bare-faced character.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 29th ult.
The state of the young QUEEN'S health excites some
apprehension. Her MAJESTY is at Barcelona, from
whence an express has been dispatched to Madrid, to
summon Dr. CASTILLO, who has been the medical
attendant of ISABELLA from her infancy.

The publication of a decree, dissolving the Cvrtes,
is daily expected at Madrid.
The new Ministry is about to rescind the Tobacco
Contract. The subject of the official intimation re-
ceived from M. MON, by the Dire Aors of the Tobacco
Company, was that her MAJESTY felt dissatisfied that
the administration of so important a branch of the
revenue should be confided to persons not officially
responsible, and she had, therefore, determined to
resume its control.

The Three per Cents. were done at 28 3-16 3-16
28 for cash, and 28,a at 60 days ; the Five per Cents.
at 201 for 30 days ; the Debt without interest at 6
for cash.

The Paris papers of Tuesday have been received in
the usual course.

In the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the de-
bate on the navy was postponed till the estimates
should come regularly before the Chamber.
The Dcbats gives a long article on the Bank
Charter resolutions of Sir R. PEEL. After giving an
analysis of the measures proposed, the adoption of
which the Debuts regards as inevitable, our Contem •
porary expresses its :approbation of the main features
which characterise them, and particularly remarks
on their tendency to the principle of centralisation—
a principle which has raised many objections, but of
which the Debuts seems to approve highly.
The sentence pronounced on Mr. O'CONNELL fur-
nishes a subject of remark to several of the French
papers. The Opposition journals regard it as at once
unjust and severe, and predict that its results will
not be those anticipated by the Government. The
Globe views with some approbation the firmness
which has been exhibited by those conducting the
prosecution.

The accounts from Algiers are exciting some un-
easiness in Paris. The report that the Emperor of
Moaocco had joined ABD-EL-KADER is confirmed,
and the spirit of fanaticism being aroused, the French
troops may have hard work before them. " Already,"
says the Courrier Francais, " has General LAMORP.
CIERE concentrated his troops on liernecan, in order
to oppose a barrier to the threatened invasion. ABD-
EL-KADER is on his side indefatigable in training the
raw levies, and the preparation of arms, ammunition,
and warlike stores by order of the EstrEnon is in-
cessant. A son of the latter is to have the nominal
command of the troops of his father, but ABD-81,
KADER is to be the real leader of this new hostile
force against the French." The cause of the quarrel
seems rather doubtful, one account stating that it had
its origin in a disputed boundary; another, that the
Emperor of MOROCCO had taken umbrage at the
French because he believed that they had intended to
take a part against him in his dispute with Spain.
M. VICTOR BOUT'ON has written to the National,
stating that six of the principal printers of Paris had
refused to give him the use of their presses for the
publication of a second edition of a popular bio-
graphy of JACQUES LAFFITTE with the two speeches
delivered over his tomb by Messrs. ARAGO and GAR-
NIEA PAGES. " They were afraid," he says, " that
the Government would seize the brochure and prose-
cute them for publishing the speech of M. GARNIER
PAGES." M. BOUION states that he will sue the
printers before the Tribunal of Commerce for this in-
fraction of the liberty of the press.

The first bureau of the Chamber of Deputies,
which had been called upon to examine the election
of M. CHARLES LAEITTE at Louviers, declared on
Monday, against its validity by a majority of sixteen
to five.

and Monte Video, bringing papers to the 23d of March
from the former, and to the 21st from the latter, but, ex-
cept a few Buenos Ayrean accounts of the defeats of
their opponents, nothing of interest had been found in
them. The siege and blockade still continued, but
with little prospect of the city capitulating, and it was
thought at Monte Video that Riveira would succeed in en-
tering and relieving the town. The French admiral had
dernsanded of the French residents, who were armed to
the number of three thousand in defence of the town,
that they should strike their flag and disband, but they
peremptorily refused to do so.

In tiie general trade of New York no cbangQ worthy
of notice had occurred. The exchange on London had
reached 109.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 2.—The King presided to-day in a Coun-
cil of Ministers. A letter from Antwerp, of yesterday, says—
" The inundation of Lillo, which was effected on the 25th of
October, 1830, will cease to-day, as the new dyke will attain
this evening the level of high-water. Then this commune
will have been intu:dated for a period of thirteen years, seven
months, and six days."
A letter from Liege, of the Ist June, gives a distressing
account of a great misfortune in the coal-mine of Horloz,
caused by an explosion of firedamp on the preceding after-
noon. Twenty-six persons were burned under the rubbish,
and four others were wounded or burnt.

BmussEts, Jta,TE 3.—The Chamber of Representatives was
engaged to-day with article 2 of the project of law on dif-
ferential duties. It is decided that the deduction of 10 per
cent. should no longer be granted to Belgian ships for the
importation of manufactured goods, but that those articles
imported by foreign ships should pay 10 per cent. in addition
to the duty to which they are liable.
A letter from Berlin says:—"Our Government has just
purchased a vast extent of land, in the peninsula of Malacca,
which belonged to Dr. lioefer, a Prussian missionary
and naturalist, who were assassinated some years
ago by banditti, in the environs of Calcutta.
This property has been sold to the Government
by the widow of Dr. Iloefer, at a very high price, the amount
of which is not known, but of which 300,000 dollars have al-
ready been paid on account.
The object of the Government in making this purchase is
not known, but the general report (which deserves a high
degree of probability from the character of the persons through
whom the bargain has been concluded), is that those lands in
Malacca are intended to be the seat of the Society of Female
Missionaries, the formation of which was proposed some time
ago by Baroness Eicharn, lady of the Minister of Ecclesiasti-
cal Affairs and Public Instruction, the special object of which
' is to be the conversion of females to the Christian religion.
