The Regency-law is the great topic of the French
Journals of Monday. According to the Commerce,
two amendments only will be introduced in the Bill.
The Regent will be required to take the oath previous
to his entering on the discharge of his functions, and
to renew the oath afterwards before the Chambers,
which are to be convoked, not in the three months,
but in a delay of 40 days, after the demise of the King.
Another steam-frigate of 450 horse power, the
Ulloa, was launched at Cherbourg,on the 10th inst.
A letter from Boulogne-of the 14th instant says :
—" The Estafette, French mail-packet, arrived•here
the day before yesterday from Dover, with despatches
for the French Government. It is presumed that-they
were very important, as the vessel was ordered to
Boulogne instead of Calais, that the despatches might
reach Paris two or three hours sooner."

AI. de Cambis, a Conservative, has been elected
Deputy for Avignon, in the room of M. de Mont-
faucon, deceased.

Monday was kept a close holiday at Paris. Most
of the newspapers contain notices that, on account of
the holiday, they would not be published on Tuesday.
A letter from Paris mentions, that among, the inci-
dents of that day was a procession of the wrecks of
the old Imperial Guard to the Invalids, and to the
column in the Place Vendome.

Madrid letters of the Bth state that a commission of
Senators, Deputies, and capitalists, met to examine
two plans of loans. One was that of M. Misley, the
other anonymous. These plans were to raise money
on the 120,000,000 of reals remaining of the 160,000,000
of royal bonds. These two plans or offers were con-
sidered too severe. One proposed tonsive only
80,000,000 for the 120,000,000; the Othei•—dffered
but 60,000,000, or one-half, the remainder to be paid
in protested bills of the Government.
On the Bth eight bargains for 672,000 reals were
done in the Threes at 211 for cash, and 211 15-16
22 for sixty and forty days. In the Fives thirty
bargains for 18,500,000 reals, at 29 for cash, 284 29-i-
-30 301 for sixty days, with the eleven Coupons ;
and 201 II with the three Coupons. Debt with•
out interest 8,609,589 reals, at 54 for fifty-four days.
Exchange on London, ninety days, 374.
All was tranquil at Barcelona on the 9th inst. The
Constitutional of that day publishes a memorial signed
by the Colonel, the three Lieutenant-Cokalels, and all
the officers of the regiment of Guadalajara, in which
they reprove the sentiments lately expressed by some
of their comrades, in favour of the rights of Christina
to the Regency, and declare that the liberties and in-
stitutions of the country, the Constitutional Throne
of Isabella 11., and the Regency of the Duke of Vic-
tory, have not more loyal and strenuous defenders
than the officers of that corps.
The quarrel between the Pope and the Russian
Government is likely to become more serious. The
Bishop of Podlachialnas been taken from his diocese
and shut up in a cloister. The late public address of
the Pope against the Emperor is known. Rut the
Emperor persists in his order that no Catholic dig-
nitary shall correspond with Rome.
New recruiting orders appear in Western Russia,
according to the Augsburg Gazette. The defeat of
the Russians in South•Daghestan is, according to it,
true, but their loss did not exceed 40. officers and 600
soldiers. General Grabbe retains his command. Prince
Dolgoroucki has been reduced to the rank of common
soldier for killing Prince Jaschwill in a duel.
Private letters from Alexandria of the 26th ult.
state that the Egyptian fleet was preparing to quit
the harbour, for the purpose of exercising its crews
at sea. Said Pacha, the new Admiral, had arrived
from Zavia at Alexandria, and all the seamen who
had been employed in the Chiftliks of the Pacha, were
to be on board in the course of five or six days. The
Pacha was negotiating a loan of 1,500,000 talaris with
some Armenian sarrafs in Constantinople, the pro-
ceeds of which were to be applied to the payment of
the arrears due to the Government officers. The ca-
ravan from Sennaar had reached Siut, in Upper
Egypt, bringing 1,000 slaves of both sexes, and 3,000
camels, laden with tamarinds, elephants' teeth, gold
dust, gum, &c., from the interior of Africa. Another
caravan, ,coming directly from Darfour, had arrived
within eighteen days' march of Siut, with 3000 slaves
and 6,000 camels, laden with various goods: The
former had stopped at Siut until .the customs officers
should 'repair thither from Cairo, to levy the usual
duties, before it could proceed on its journey.
