Tronchet, aged 69,
M. Dupoty, the liberated ex-editor of a Republican
paper, has very discreetly declined accepting a "fra-
ternal banquet" offered to him by his political friends.
We read in the Revue de Paris—" Letters from Gen.
Lamoriciere, and which are corroborated-by positive
facts, announce that Abd-el-Bader is in a small town of
Morocco, under the smeillance of the troops of the
Emperor, who appears up to the present moment to have
faithfully executed the clauses of his treaty with France.
Ile has several times given an account of the measures
adopted by him to watch the Emir, and lately informed
the French authorities that Abd-el-Kader had sent
emissaries to the environs of Fez, but that
,the people
had remained deaf to his voice."
M. Cortena and M. Cantero, ex-Ministers of Spain,
and M. Pascual Madoz, one of the most influential
speakers in the Cortes last year, have established their
residence in Paris for the winter.
Pierre Monguiere, one of the veterans of the armies
of the Republic and Empire, died at the Hotel des In-
valides of Paris on Monday. Ile had received 23 bullet
wounds, and 15 stabs and cuts inflicted with the bayonet,
lance, or sabre.
The paper manufactory belonging to Messrs. Brice
and Co., situate at La Villette, near Paris, was reduced
to ashes on Monday night. The young woman through
whose imprudence the fire originated.perished in the
flames, and a corporal and a soldier of the 74th Regi-
ment died victims of their zeal whilst endeavouring to
extinguish the fire. They fell in the canal, and were
drowned.
The frost had returned suddenly and with much
intensity in Paris.
Letters from Madrid state that the motive for the sud-
den return of M. Gonzalez Bravo to Lisbon is the re-
ceipt of intelligence from that city, stating that the
Spanish refugees in Portugal are seriously preparing for
an attempt at counter-revolution in Spain. Whilst or-
ders are being sent to the authorities on the frontier to
be on their guard against such an attempt, M. Gonzalez
Bravo is to return to his post, in order that he may be
able to defeat the intrigues of the refugees in Portugal.
It is reported that a serious difference has arisen be-
tween M. Donoso Cortes, Secretary to the Queen of
Spain, and General Narvaez, on the occasion of the peti-
tion of the journalists in favour of Colonel Rengifo.
We are not told exactly how the Queen's Secretary has
offended the President of the Council ; but we are left
to infer that the former, either from motives of humanity
or a desire to popularise the Queen by an act of clemency,
supported the petition of the journalists, and presented it
to the Queen, without first receiving the assent of Gene,
ral Narvaez. Be this as it may, it is certain that Gene-
ral Narvaez has expressed so much anger towards M.
Donoso Curses, that he has placed his resignation in the
hands of her Majesty; but it has not yet been accepted.
