"It is quite positive (says the Revue de Paris) that the
King will return to Eu on Monday next. M. Guizot will
spend the following day at that Royal residence, and then
come back to Paris."
"A service of steamers (says the Courier Francais)
has been organised between Brighton and Treport in
order to convey twice a day to the Queen tidings of
Louis Philippe, and to the King tidings of the Queen.
M. Guizot is to write by the same channel to his col-
leagues, and to learn from them, in return, twice a day,
what is passing in France. Two couriers are to start
every day from Treport for Paris, and from Paris for
Treport. These precautions are to be taken during the
King's whole stay in England."
The Journal des Debuts publishea a letter from a pri-
♦ate correspondent at Madrid, of the 3d inst., which
states, that a strong and dangerous excitement exists
amongst the superior classes of society, and amongst the
members of the new Cortes, which had already assem-
bled in considerable numbers in that capital. The Mi-
nistry which convoked the Cortes, which made the elec-
tions, and re-established order and tranquillity, is at
present menaced in its existence by its friends and by
its own partisans.
" We learn," says the Constitutionnel," that the Com-
mission charged with the re-organisation of the Poly-
technic School, after long discussions, has decided that
it was incompetent to touch on the subject of scientific
instruction."
A Berlin letter of the 2d informs us that Lord Pal.
merston had dined with the King, and had received the
visit of all the Ministers and the diplomatic corps.
The P, esse gives the following from its torresnondent
in Mexico A protest has been signed by all the mer-
chants of Mazatlan, English, German, Spanish, French,
&c., on the occasion of an atrocious outrage by an officer
of the garrison upon a French sailor. It appears that
the wretch had the sailor tied to a post, and inflicted
upon him 200 blows of a cane, after which he caused
him to be threli:u into a dungeon, where a nameless out-
rage was perpetrated upon him. It is doubtful whether
the French Legation has been able to send an account of
this affair to the Government, as it arrived only at the
moment when the mail wasleaving.".

The Übservateur du Rhin contains a letter from
Vienna of the 30th ult., which states that the offer made
by Baron de Rothschild, to give 40,000 florins (120,000 E)
fir the establishment of a polytechnic school at Brunn,
the capital of Moravia, has been rejected by the States
of that country by 22 votes to 16. The letter mentions
that this rejection has caused a considerable sensation.
A man named Clergeaud, who was condemned to death
by the Court of Assize of the Dordogne, for poisoning a
farmer named Reynaud, by arsenic, was executed at
Perigueux on the 3d inst. lie had a few hours before
attempted to avoid a public death by stabbing himself
in several places with a pair of scissors, whic he had
secreted. He suffered so much from his wounds that he
could scarcely ascend the scaffold. The wife of Reynaud,
who was the accomplice of Clergeaud, was tried with
him, and sentenced to imprisonment for life, with hard
labour. _ _ _ _
