SUMMARY OF NEWS

Accounts from Madrid of the 16th of September
have been received. The Gazette of that day pub-
fish:3s the royal decree appointing M. MARTINEZ DE
LA ROSA Minister of Foreign Affairs. The appoint-
ment is dated the 21st of August. This antedating
the appointment naves M. MARTIN= DE LA ROSA
from the necessity of again presenting himself before
his constituents for re-election. The Castellano is of
opinion that the Cabinet, thus constituted, would open
the Cortes, but that the moment the wish of the
majority became known, S new Administration would
be formed under the auspices of M. MARTINEZ DE LA
ROSA. According to the Globo, General NARVAEZ
had repeatedly offered to him the P,'esidency of the
Council, which he had obstinately declined accepting.
The same official organ contains the noc_tination
of General PAYIA to the post of Captain-Genera.l of
Navarre.

A long circular letter to the political chiefs is also
published in the journals, whereby the Home Minis-
ter expresses the Government's determination to chas-
tise such as shall manifest, in the elections, any princi•
pies hostile to the QUEEN'S Government.

The Gazette further announces an economical re-
form in the War Department, General NAEYAEZ
having resolved that in future there should be kept up
only eighteen regiments of cavalry, consisting each of
562 men and 422 horses, the total being 10,116 men
and 7,596 horses, with 108 individuals of the staff.
A letter from Gibraltar, on the subject of the nego-
tiations between France anti Morocco appears in the
Heraldo. From it we learn, that in the course of
the negotiations, some difficulties appeared, but they
were overcome by the co-operation of the worthy
British Minister Plenipotentiary, Mr. BuLWEE.
The Duke de GLUCKSBERG was shortly expected at
Madrid, where Mr. Bui.wEtt was to arrive on the
evening of the 16th. On the 11th the latter was at
Tariffa with Mr. PEEL. All the accounts received
from that place, Cadiz, Algesiras, and Gibraltar,
concur in stating that the conclusion of peace between
France and Morocco was principally due to Mr.
B LWER'S exertions.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
All the Opposition papers continue to animadvert on
the treaty with Morocco, which, says the Constitu-
-1:owlet, M. GUIZOT will have difficulty in defending
even in the opinion of his friends. The Constitu-
tionnel and the National also comment upon the nar-
rative extracted from the Sidney Morning Herald, anti
entitled " Tyranny of the. French at Otaheite," whicl
appeared in the London papers of Thursday. On this
other occasion the French authorities at Otaheite are
proclaimed quite infallible. There is some truth in
the following observations of the Constitutionnel, on
the subject of the French occupation of Otaheite :
" What is certain is, that Otaheite—that conquest
which M. Guizot wished to make, but which he has not
:fared to complete—is, become, thanks to the skilfulness
.if our own statesmen, a source of embarrassment and
miafortune for us, of danger for our soldiers, and of diffi•
culty and disgrace fur our officers."
In the course of a long article on the subject of
Ireland the Journal des Debate has the following
observations on -what will probably be the ultimate
result of the acquittal of OTONZIELL:—" The acquittal
of the Irish prisoners is no doubt a grave event,
which may produce great clmiges in the relative
situation of parties, but we do not believe that it has
weakened the union between England and Ireland.
We think quite the contrary. it has been a serious
check for the Tory Ministry, but at the same time it
has a reconciliation and an approach to union between
the Irish and a great political party in England
itself." With regard to the report that a coalition
was about to take place between the Whigs and
Repealers, one of the conditions of which was the
granting a federal union, the Journal des Debats
says :—" We do not believe it—the Whigs would
take good care not to announce ally such intention.
We are tempted to believe that it is their adversaries
who have originated the report, knowing well that it
will be an infallible means of preventing them from
obtaining power, or of immediately ousting them, it
by chance they should regain it."
The Journal du Cher publishes the following
speech, purporting to have been addressed by the
KING to M. LAROCIIEFOUCAULD LIANCOURT, who
presented to him, as President of the Society of
Christian Morality, various addresses forwarded to
him by the English and American Societies for the
Preservation of Peace :
" I am happy to receive these addresses, and feel par-
ticularly gratified to find that our American friends
should do justice to the pains I have taken to maintain
the general peace of Europe. Thero is no advantage in
making war, even when a nation has attained the object
for which it has fought, because ultimately the losses are
alwaj's greater than the gains. I have ever professed
that principle : when I was in America, 40 years ago,
I was often asked to propose toasts at public dinners, and
I almost invariably expressed the wish that universal and
permanent peace should exist among all nations. I was
then exiled from my country, and my anxious desire
was that it should enjoy peace and happiness. This is
what caused me to adopt that salutary precept. I could
not then forsee that I should ba called upon one day to
exert my intim nce and act myself in favour of that
great cause. May the Almighty accord me the mainte-
nance of peace ! War appears to me a makdiction ; and
war in Europe, between civilised nations, I regard as an
absurdity ; if the smaller states desired it we should
prevent them, and as peace between the great powers
becomes daily more consolidated, I hope, if I live a few
years longer, that a general war in Europe will have be-
come impossible."
The Siecle comments, in severe terms, on this
speech. " A Sovereign," says that paper, " should
not be made to speak the language of the Abbe de
St. Pierre, for there are circumstances in which the
most generous sentiments are unseasonable."
The Presse has an article strongly urging the Go.
vernment to prepare for a war with England, by
lessening the cost of the army and increasing the
efficiency of the navy. This, diminution of the army
seems recommended for the purpose of preventing the
thrmation of any European alliance against France.
The article concludes in these words
" There is nothing more aimph: than to maintain an
army which would cost less, and to prepare a navy which
would protect us hetter,to diminish one without
weakening it, and to increase the other without raising

The arrivals in the Thames continue exceedingly
numerous, and the river pre. ents a very annimated ap-
pearance from the crowded hoes of vessels and the num-
ber of shi ‘m still coming in. This is a time of year when
usually the number of ships coming home is greater than
at any other season, and the steamers experience some
difficalty in navigating at ar.y speed from the Tower up
to Rackwall. It might have been supposed under
such circumstances that the railway would have
offered far greater inducements and facilities for the
transmission of goods than would really appear to be
the case. Among other complaints we have heard ii
very general one of the extreme shallowness of the

numbers, and attacked the houses of some of the
principal citizens. Tranquillity was, however, re-
stored, on its being announced that the authorities
had revoked the offensive decision, and by the last
account all was again quiet.

from the date of the latter. It was stated that differ-
ences had arisen between MM Metaxa and Coletti,
which were not likely to be appeased.
