The Constitutionnel notices a rumour relative to the
treaty for the suppression of the Slave Trade, M. Guizot,
it is said, immediately after the discussion in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, applied to Lord Aberdeen for a pro-
longation of the period of delay granted for the exchange
of ratifications of the treaty, and for the opening of new
negotiations, having for their principal objects the modi-
fications of the zones, and the limitation of the' number
of warrants to be granted to cruisers. Lord Aberdeen is
reported to have replied that the British Government
was ready to grant to France all the delay that the re-
cent discussion in the Chamber of Deputies rendered
necessary, but that it could not consent to the slightest
modification of the treaty.
The National states that several petitions for electoral
reform have been deposited in the Secretary's Office of
the Chamber of Deputies. That from the department of
the Rhone, it says, is signed by 10,454 persons ; that
from the Isere by 9,635 persons ; and altogethor the
number of signatures to the petition in question were
113,406.

The Commerce, in noticing the conversation in the
House of Commons about Cabrera, mentions a report
that General Rodil has espoused the cause of Queen
Christina against Espartero, and that Cabrera has con-
sented to take part in a new movement in her favour,
General Villereal having refused.
The Bayonne papers mention that a Spanish Govern-
ment steamer and two brigs of war are in the harbour of
Passages. General Goni had arrived in the Bastan, on
a tour of inspection of the military post of the frontiers.
At St. Sebastian some steps had recently been taken for
completing the armament of that place.
A Paris correspondent writes—" General Ramon Nar-
vaez, who was implicated in the late conspiracy in Spain,
left the French capital (where he had been sojourning
for some time) on Thursday, for London, where he will
embark for Portugal, in order to assume the command
of a division of the Portuguese arm, which has declared
itself for the Charter. General Narvaez was in Paris
Frith the full knowledge and concurrence of the French
Government. This intelligence may be implicitly relied
upon."

The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 15th instant says:—
" Important events are preparing in' the Peninsula for
the ensuing spring. A vast conspiracy against the free-
dom of Spain is in formation. The Carlists and Chris-
tinos have compacted an alliance. Don Carlos, weary
of exile, has written to his Seides, calling upon them to
raise his standard again, And has appointed Villareal
commandant of the Basque Provinces, with orders to
rouse them in defence of their fueros. The moderados,
on the other hand, assume the republican mask, and are
exciting Catalonia, Valencia, and Andalusia, to insur-
rection. The refugees of October declare that they are
assured of the support of the French Government—in-
direct at first, but afterwards direct, as soon as it can
be warranted by events. We must acknowledge that
several facts passing before our eyes seem to warrant
their hopes. Why have General Jaureguy (El Pastor),
and M. Ribed, of Pampeluna, returned within our walls?
What is the notorious Aviranetta doing
.here ? For
whom, and for what purpose, are 11,000,000 of car-
tridges being made in the arsenal of Bayonne ? Why
is the army contractor secretly buying up large stores of
flour, beans, and oats?"

Ailvices from Turin state, that great preparations are
making in that capital for the marriage of the Duke of
Savoy with the Archduchess Adelaide of Austria. After
passing three days at the Chateau of Stupinis, the illus-
trious bride and bridegroom are to make their solemn
entry
.into the capital ; and a series of fetes and public
rejoicings will ensue. The Municipality of Turin has
voted 1,000,000 francs for the expellees of the joyous
occasion, of which 200,000 francs are for wedding pre-
sents to be offered to the young Princess. It is said that
the King will grant a political amnesty in commemora-
tion of the event, and will also concede a diminution of
duty on salt, for the benefit of the agriculturists. A grand
tournament on the Place of San Carlo is talked of.
