curious remarks on the speech of the Queen of

SPAIN

" We find ourselves in the singular position of having
to rectify an erratum. We have again examined the
original text of the speech delivered by Queen Isabella
at the opening of the Cortes, and we see there that the
Constitutional Government of Spain expresses a wish
that the field of political discussions should hereafter be
closed. We confess that we feel more regret for this
error on account of the Spanish Government than we
could have for ourselves. If it were simply intended, as
we still believe it was, to express a hope that the prin-
ciple of government should be placed beyond discussion,
it is unfortunate that terms were not used less capable
of a malevolent interpretation. But- if it were true,
which we feel it impossible to imagine, that a Parliamen-
tary Government should entertain the idea of convoking
a deliberative assembly,
~ to impress upon it the necessity
of maintaining silence, in that case we should decline to
make an apology for so strange a manner of compre-
hending free institutions, and we should be compelled to
acknowledge that those who feel themselves scandalised
at it are not entirely in error."

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 10.—His Majesty presided in a
Council of Ministers, and transacted business yester-
day with the Minister of War and the Minister of
the Interior.

A journal of Verviers says :—" The persons who,
on the evenings of the 15th and 16th, manifested such
a violent opposition to the Jesuits, were summoned
this morning before the Justice of Peace. The cause
is adjourned for a week, in order to hear the wit-
nesses and the counsel of the accused."

The Governor of the Province of Hainaut being
informed that the magistrates of several communes
have received applications for information respecting
a pretended unreclaimed estate of Jacques Dubois,
said to have died in the Indies, leaving a considerable
fortune, thinks it his duty to remind them of a notice
which states that repeated inquiries made by the
former India Company, and subsequently, never pro-
cured the least certainty respecting the existence of
this Jacques Dubois in the colonies : and.the fortune
of that individual, said to be deposited in the coffers
of the India Company, is a chimera, no sum payable
on this head existing in the coffers of the Colonial
Department either in Europe or Asia.
M. Delpierre, of the Belgian Legation at London,
has arrived at Brussels. Though he has not brought
the Postal Convention concluded between Belgium
and England, as was expected, we are glad to an-
nounce that it may be considered as having by this
time been invested with all the necessary formalities.
