POR.EIGN.
The leading articles of the French journals are
either on subjects respecting which all the interest, as
far a.s the public at large are concerned, has been ex-
hausted, or respecting which they feel no interest at
all. The Constitntionnel has devoted two columns to
remarks on the recent ordonnance of the King of t
Prussia, and it promises to return to the subject.
The Coarrier Francais, arguing upon the old
adage that where there is a great deal of smoke there
must be some fire, observes that there must have been tt
some foundation for the various rumours which haVe
been current of an attempt to assassinate the Emperor
of Russia, and then goes on seriously to account for
the supposed danger in which the life of the Emperor;„.,-
is placed by the despotic manner he exercises his power
over his subjects, and more particularly over Poland. •
The Grand Duke of Baden having sent the Count
de Lassolaye to Strasburgh on the occasion of the',
visit of the Duke de Nemours, to compliment the ,4
Prince in the name of the Grand Duke, General Mar-
quis de Laplace was sent afterwards to Carlsruhe,. by
the Duke de Nemours to express his thanks for this
attention. Before the return of the Marquis de L
place, the Grand Duke conferred on him the Cross of
the Order of the Lion of Zachringen. •
Some of the Madrid Journals state that M. Olozaga
has been charged by the Spanish Government with.a
special mission to Prance and Belgium, and that his
departure was to take place in a short time.
It is stated that negotiations are on the tapir be-
tween the Spanish and Dutch Governments, for the
conclusion of a treaty of commerce for the introduc7
tion into Spain of Dutch linens.
The Charge d'Affaires of Holland, Baron de Gro' „
vestins, has already submitted the provisions of,thi'l
slid Treaty to the Cabinet of Madrid; and as a. Com'
mittee, of which Senor Olozaga is a member, has been
appointed to make a Report thereon, the journey 0,.
the Hon. Deputy is stated to have reference to that'..:
object.

at Pillnitz, the day after with the Austrian MiniSteq:.:;!
and the succeeding day with the Ambassador or:1
Russia. He was received at Court, as Well as by the
corps diplomatique, in the most flattering manner.
PUDLIC OPINION.
The Scotsman comments on the impropriety of ;the.
Non-Intrusion journals attacking the Queen for net
attending worship in the High Church, and says
"Her Majesty comes to Scotland on a pleasure
excursion, and does what the meanest of her
~,
subjects is privileged to do—worships God at •.
cording to the forms of the Church of . which
she is a member; and a set sf intolerant
bigots represent this simple and 'proper act oe
an insult to the people of Sce tland, and the
harbinger of persecution and despof,sm ! These per.
sons, while raving about liberty of_ conscience, walk'
deny their Sovereign the humble privilege which the
Turks grant to their Christian .s laves ! Her Majesty
may be very friendly to the hiu k ; but, in its present
attitude of defiance to the law,l what might be a harm
less act of courtesy in other cll.( annstances, would bee
sacrifice of her regal dignity."
In allusion to the present combination existing
among the bakers, the Cambrian remarks ;--.4,We are
no advocates fel* Government interference in matte° .1
of trade ; hut if tradesmen,, especially bakers, cony
bine in the manner they had don?. It is quite time

price of bread fixed by th.e authorities, e
is done at present in Paris.'

Though the towns 01 Manchester and Salford ,i 0
