TUE SUN, L'ON'DON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 11444

Spain, under the vigorous dominion of FERDINAND
and ISABELLA, could meet the expulsion of her
Moresco and Jewish subjects ; or France, under the
most selfish and stony of her many tyrants, Louis
XIV., could bear up against the losses and disasters
she " realised" by his infatuated revocation of the
Edict of Nantes.

On all sides, then, we see many threatening aspects,
without considering those which meet us at home,
that cloud the first dawning of the new year. We
trust that the wisdom of the Legislature will sedu-
lously apply itself to such adjustments of the diffi-
culties that beset our foreign and domestic policy
and status, as may be calculated— if they cannot avert
the storm that may impend in any quarter—to protect
us at least from the more disastrous effects of its fury.

Paris papers of Sunday, and Madrid papers of the
25th ult., were received at a late hour, having been
retarded by the badness of the roads and the boisterous
weather in the Channel. The Paris intelligence:they
bring is not important. The Spanish Commissioners
deputed by the Government to invite Queen Gums-
TINA to Madrid having accomplished their mission,
took leave of her MAJESTY on Saturday. The answer
is all that can be desired by the party who ap-
plied. It expresses the pleasure she felt on
receiving the invitation sent by Queen ISA..
BELLA and her Ministers to return to Madrid
and to accept of the guardianship of the second
daughter of the Infanta LOUISA, and her anxiety and
readiness to accept the charge. She is to leave Paris
for Madrid as soon as the preparati9ns for her journey
are arranged. This, however, cannot be before the
commencement of the month of February, at the very
soonest. This is the answer which the Com-
missioners are to carry back to Madrid. They were
to leave Paris on Monday. Another Legitimist
Paris paper had been seized, making the fifth within
five days. The Courrier Francais says the King of
the NETHERLANDS has sent the Duke of BORDEAUX
a pressing invitation to visit him at the Hague, and
the Duke is to leave England on the 12th of next
month. The King of HANOVER, the Emperor of
RUSSIA, and the King of SARDINIA have also sent
him invitations. The Courrier Francais asks if, see-
ing these matters, and also remembering the " Royal
Reception" given to the Duke, it can any longer be
be said that foreign Power's have amicable relations
with France. We are mueh inclined to disbelieve
these statements.

On Sunday, at Tortoni's, the French funds, which
on Saturday had fallen to 81f. 90c., opened at 82f.,
and afterwards rose to 82f. 10c., and finally closed at
82f. sc. buyers.

The only intelligence from Madrid of the slightest
interest is, that the Council of Ministeri had come to
a definitive resolution to dissolve the Cortes, and
were only waiting till they had received the neces-
sary authority from the Chambers to collect the taxes
before putting the resolve into execution.

There must be some mistake in the accounts from
Southampton, that the China and India Maid had
left that place on the Ist. The Post-office gives notice
that it is not to leave for two days.
We have had another heavy fall of snow in the
night, and it now lies in niany4pl aces severatinctes 'deep.
Both the -barometer and thermometer are -very low,
and there is-every appearance of severe weather;
