intolerance which now narrows to one sect, and spoils
and desecrates the large munificence of olden time." Let
us hope and pray that that day is fast approaching, and
that when such vast sums are yearly expended in edu-
cating one sect of religionists, and grants out of the
public Treasury are paid to others, the persecuted
Catholics, who founded these magnificent establishments
are not to beg in vain for the crumbs that fall from the
rich man's table. The uncharitable bigotry which so
long persecuted that class of Christians is rapidly dying
away ; the best men of all parties have manfully set
their faces against the oppressors, and we confidently
trust that Sir ROBERT PEEL will persevere in his Chris-
tian scheme, and by rendering justice to a brave and
loyal people, secure against all foreign enemies the power
and integrity of the United Empire.

Madrid journals of the 3d have been received, but they
bring no news, though some rumours. According to
the Heraldo, ABD El. KADER had made an appeal to the
faithful of Morocco, and placed himself at the head of
party for the purpose of dethroning the EMPEROR, who,
it was said, was about to send a large body of troops
against this enterprising chief.
The Three per Cents. left off at 351 at 60 days; and
the Five per Cents. at 25 9-16 at 60 days.

The domestic intelligence in the Paris papers is not
of much importance. In the Chamber of Peers, the
general discussion on the Colonial Bill, relative to
slavery, had closed, and on Wednesday the separate
clauses came under consideration. In the Chamber of
Deputies, several grants were voted for completing the
royal roads throughout the kingdom ; among others, a
grant of 36,500,000 f. (1,470,000) for cutting through
or levelling hills on the public roads. The .Minister of
Public Works stated that the whole amount that would
be required, according to the estimates, for the comple-
tion of the works would be 182,000,000 f. (7,250,0001.).
This is a large sum, but it is for an important purpose,
and does high honour to the Government of Louts
PHILIPPE. By a royal ordonnance of the 6th, the
following persons are created Peers of France, viz. :
Vice-Admiral GRIVEL, M. PEDRE LACAZE, formerly
Member of the Chamber of Deputies ; Lieut.-General
MAREOT, and the Duke DE CHOISEUL PRASLIN.
We find no intelligence from Switzerland in these
papers later than that published in The Sun of yes-
terday. The Extraordinary Diet, it appears, met again
at Zurich on the sth. when long speeches were made
on the disturbances which prevail, but no decision was
come to. In fact, the Diet seems utterly helpless. It
wants both courage and power, and is so hampered by
the contending elements of the different cantons, that
nothing like unity prevails. All we hope is, that the
Swiss will speedily settle their own affairs, without fur-
nishing any pretence for the interference of the despotic
authorities with which they are almost entirely sur-
rounded. The Legitimatist journal, the Quctidienne,
rejoices at the victory gained by the Jesuits. This is
in keeping with the character of the party which it re-
presents, and calls forth the following remarks from the
Ministerial Globe:—

"The Quotidienne has clapped its hands at the news from
Lucerne, and it cannot sufficiently congratulate itself on the
triumph of order and religion. It says that all who respect
the rights of property, who fear God, and appreciate social
order, must be delighted to see anarchy put down, and its
soldiers destroyed or dispersed. How is it, then, that the
Quotidienne, and the journals of the same colour, every day
solicit the aid of the Radicals of France ? The French Ra-
dicals have only the same object as those of Switzerland—
viA., equality and the division of property. When people
ask for universal suffrage, they demand popular supremacy
in the most absurd, sanguinary, and disorganised way, and
they are quite as radical as the enemies of religion who raise
the cry of a bas lee .Isuites as a rallying. point. When we
see the triumph of order over disorder, the Qiiotidienne only
sees the triumph of the Jesuits, and it would like to have the
free corps in France to demolish the fortifications of the sys-
t?me, and of the dynasty against its antis les ennends, or
merely to embarrass a Government, which nevertheless pro-
txts property, religion, or social order."
