THIS DAY'S NEWS.

CIVIL WAR IN SWITZERLAND.
SPAIN AND MOROCCO.
We have received by extraordinary express from Paris the
journals of yesterday, with a letter from our correspondent.
The latter conveys the following
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES :
" BESANCON, MAY 21.
"A supplement of the Nouvelliste Vaudois of the 19th of
May, at noon, announces that civil war has broken out in
the canton of Valois. The inhabitants of the Upper Valois
have seized on Sion ; those of the Lower Valois have risen
en masse. Each party have some pieces of cannon, and a
battle was imminent on the 18th."

" TANGIERS, MAY 9.

" There is reason to apprehend the arrival of the Kabyles
here from, the interior. The Consular body have written to
the Pacha to protest beforehand against this infraction of the
general orders of the Emperor. The British agent has called
for the naval forces from Malta. I (the French Consul)
have re-called the Cygene. A reply in the negative is ex-
pected to the Spanish ultimatum. In that case the Consul-
General of Spain will strike his flag and embark, if he can
succeed in doing so."
The Journal des Debats devotes a long article to the bro-
chure of the Priiice de Joinville, for which, however, we have
not room to-day.
The Three per Cents. were done at Tortoni's at 84-70.

Our letters from Leghorn received also by this express
concur with our previous correspondence in regarding the
tranquillity of Italy as assured for, at least, some time. The
arrest of Signor Galetti, Director-General of the Casinval
Bologna, and that of his successor (Signor Mallioli), and that
of Signor Orsini, master of the post-house, and their removal
in custody to Rome, remained unaccounted for.

We have received letters from our Madrid correspondent,
dated the 16th inst., but they bring no news. The Bourse
was shut on that day on account of the fete (the Ascension)
—Times.

HOUSE__OF_LORDSI-7(THIS DAY.)

THE DUKEDOM OF SUSSEX.

This day having been specially appointed for their Lord-
ships sitting in a Committee of Privileges, on the claim of
Sir Augustus Frederick D'Este to the Dukedom of Sussex.
long before the hour of their Lordships meeting (ten o'clock)
the lobbies and avenues to the House were crowded by per-
sons anxious to hear the arguments in the case.
Shortly after ten o'clock their Lordships formed themselves
into a Committee. Among the Peers present we noticed the
Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Brougham,
Lord Cottenham, Lord Campbell, Lord Langdale, Lord
Dinorben, Lord Auckland, Lord Redesdale, Lord Camovs,
Lord Beaumont, Lord Strangford, Lord Sudeley, Dird
Sondes, the Marquis of Normanby, and Lord Cloncurry.
The Judges were also in attendance, and among them we
noticed Lord Denman, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court
of Common Pleas, ie Lord Chief Baron of the Court of
Exchequer, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Coltritan, Mr.
Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice
Cresswell.

Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Erle, and Mr. James Wilde ap-
peared as Counsel on behalf of the claimant, and the Attorney
and,Solicitor-Generalsf together with Mr. Waddington, were
for the Crown.
Sir TH03119 lirtt,DE then proceeded to open the case
on the part of the claimant, Sir Augustus D'Este. As
their Lordships must be well aware, from the notoriety
of the proceedings, the claimant was the only
male issue of a marriage celebrated at Rome in 1793,
between his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex
and Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of the Earl of Dun-
more. This marriage took place without previous com-
munication to his late Majesty King George the Third, and
the whole transaction was conducted with the strictest se-
crecy, the Prince being desirous that it should not become
known to his Royal parent until be himself should communi-
cate the information in the manner which he should deem to
be the most likely to assuage the King's anticipated dis-
pleasure. Notwithstanding the endeavours which were
used to secure concealment, yet, from some tin.
known means, an impression very generally prevailed
in Rome of the fact almost immediately after it
occurred, and it became the subject of much conversation
among the fashionable residents there. The Prince returned
to England in the month of September in the same year, and
whilst he hesitated to make his intended communication to
the King the marriage became known to his Majesty.
The King was displeased at the event, and from the time it
came to his knowledge every endeavour was made to cause a
separationltpm:
