FOREIGN.
An Extraordinary Express from Paris, dated yester-
day (Monday) states that a Commercial. Treaty is al-
most ready for signature between the French and Belgian
Governments. The Belgians reduce the duties on French
wines, silks, and salt.. The French admit Belgian thread
and linen. The Belgians still hold out for so►ne conces-
sions on iron ; but the Treaty will probably be signed
this week.

M. Tillers has completely lost caste in France. Never
was a man more fallen. Ile is despised by the extreme
Liberals, feared by the moderate ones, and hated by the
Conservatives. He has not gone, as was reported, to
take the waters at Vechy. He has left Paris for Aix,
w here his re-election is seriously menaced by a coalition
of the Royalists and Ministerialists. It has been consi-
rered strange that M. Thiers has published no mani-
festo ; but it is now thought he must take the course he
wished to avoid—speak out at Aix..
M. Odilon Barrot presents himself in some half dozen
colleges, including one in Paris, in opposition to General
Jacqueminot. M. Barrot's first circulars having been
found flat and unprofitable, he prepared another, but
this was too spicy, and it has been withdrawn. The
Left party, to which he belongs, and the Left Centre or
M. Theirs, will suffer much during the elections, but
the Extreme Left (Republicans and Philosophical Rad-
icals) and the Extreme Right (Royalists) are expected

to gain.
The Paris correspondent of the Gazette of Upper
Germany states, that the King of the French lately ex-
pressed himself in the following terms, when speaking
of M. de Lainartine :—" I thank God for having pre-
served for the conclusion of my life, which has been so
agitated, so noble and so pure a character as M. de La-
martine, for he is not only a Minister, but a Minister
calculated to promote the prosperity of France." These
words were repeated by a Minister in a political saloon.
Telegraphic despatches from Bayonne of the 2d inst.
bring advices from Madrid of the 27th ult., on which day
the Spanish Ministry had withdrawn the project of law
relat►ve to the provincial deputations. A second despatch,
of the 28th, announces that the Congress had voted the
Bill fixing the effective of the Spanish army at 130,000
(90,000 effective and 40,000 reserve) by a majority of 60
against 22.
The Madrid Gazette publishes a circular of the Mi-
nister of Marine to his subordinates, in which he promises
to place the military navy of Spain on a respectable foot-
ing, which would enable it to afford an efficacious protec-
tion to her transatlantic possessions.
The Barcelona Constitucional of the 27th ult. states;
that five Carlo-Christino bandits having been captured
by the National Guard of Escala, three who had been
taken with arms in their hands, were immediately shot,
and the two others were transferred to the competent
authorities.
The Frankfort Journal states that the King of Prussia
arrived at Posen on the. 24th ult. The following great

. .
personages are expected to assist at the markeUvres
which are to take place in the Rhenish provinces on the
King's return from St. Petersburgh ;—The Kings of
Bavaria, Hanover, Belgium, Holland, Wurtemberg, and
Saxony, two reigning Dukes, two French Princes, and a
Prince of Sweden.
The Leipsic Gazette publishes a private letter from
the frontiers of Italy, stating that arrests had been made
lately at Pisa, in the kingdom of Naples. arid in the Pon•
tifical States. Although numerous bodies of troops are
quartered throughout the peninsula, symptoms of serious
disturbances manifest themselves on all points. The
Swiss troops at Naples inspire no fear.
Our accounts from Beyrout are of the 10th ult. An
apprehension was entertained that a general rising would
shortly take place in the mountain. On the Bth Emir
Abdalla, with his two sons, sought refuge on board an
English frigate. On the 9th the Seraskier Mustapha
and Izzet, Pasha waited in person on Colonel Rose, to
demand the surrender of the Emir. The Colonel re-
turned a formal refusal. The Pacha said that they
would carry him off by force. The Colonel replied,
pointing at the frigate, "He is there ; take him if you
eau." On the 10th, twelve Sheiks retired on board the
same frigate, having been informed that they would be
arrested in the course of the day. Several others who
did not avail themselves of the caution were actually
apprehended. The Turks had arranged a plot for seiz-
ing by a coup de main the Catholic patriarCh of Lebanon.
