FOREIGN.
On the subject of Algiers the French Opposition
papers assail M. Guizot with unsparing vindictiveness.
They contend that " it is in vain for him to draw con-
clusions from the similarity of observation' to objec-
tion,' so long as England shall continue to withhold its
recognition of the right of France to her African con-
quests."
The Courrier Francais asserts that, although M. de
Bourqueney and Sir Stratford Canning are on very good
terms together at Constantinople as to Eastern affairs,
the diplomatic relations between the British and French
Cabinets are by no means of an amicable nature, Lord
Aberdeen having declared that he would not enter on any
fresh negotiations with M. Guizot until the Right of
S earth Treaty had been ratified by France.
The Journal des Debats states that the Superior Coun-
cil of Commerce had on Saturday voted the prohibition
of home manufactured sugar by a majority of 13 to 12.
The Debats is of opinion that this is one of the most
fatal measures ever adopted with regard to the general
interests of France.

" We have been informed," says the Constitutionnel,
" that several Christino chiefs have been summoned to
Paris, where they are now holding a sort of council of
war."

The Presse having asserted that General Narvaez, the
Christine General, was in Paris and not at Tangiers, as
stated by the Spanish papers, the Constitutionnel explains,
and this we know to be the fact, that Narvaez had re-
ceived counter-orders at Falmouth to return to Paris
just as he was embarking for Tangiers, via Lisbon and
Gibraltar. Several of the Christine chiefs are now in
Paris, having daily interviews with Queen Christina.
The Commerce states that the hopes which were enter-
tained at Madrid of an amicable arrangement with the
Holy See have vanished, the Pope having published an
Apostolic letter, in which the Sovereign Pontiff, after
enumerating his several causes of complaint against the
Spanish Government, alludes to the law recently pre-
sented to the Cortes, which he terms execrable, and re-
presents it as threatening the Catholic religion with com-
plete destruction.
Madrid papers of the 27th, state that the Cortes did
not sit in consequence of its being the Regent's birth
day. His Highness received the Grand Deputation of
both Chambers, who came to present congratulatory
addresses, to which the Regent replied in the most
gracious manner.
The accounts from Barcelona of the 27th ult. state
that several amnestied cabecillas, who were affiliated to
the Carlo-Christino conspiracy, had been shot. Two
cheifs, named Espaculella and Ramisa, taken prisoners
in the neighbourhood of Vich, had been likewise put to
death.

A Constantinople correspondent, in his letter of the
9th, says that Sir Stratford Canning, who has recovered
from a slight indisposition, is said to be pressing the
Porte to recognise Dr. Alexander as Bishop of Jerusa-
lem. The Porte, however, refuses the demand, on the
ground that there are no Protestants in Syria ; but the
true motive of its refusal is, that Russia, Austria, and
France encourage the resistance of the Sultan.
