GENERAL LPHINSTONE.
The following is.an extract from a letter written by Colonel
Cureton, of the 16th Lancers, and dated Meerut, March 18
" Through the kindness of a friend I have seen a confidential
letter containing an extract of a dispatch from the late Envoy,
Major Pottinger, dated January 30, and which says, ' You will
be glad to learn, that so far from blaming Elphinstone for what
has occurred, he
altogether exonerates him, and wishes this
fact to be made known to Government ; for the noble courage
g
and resignation with which the General bears himself under
such a load of rnist,xtune and physical suffering (an attack of
rheumatic gout in the jeints of each hand, and shot through the
buttock) make. a.Man's heart bleed far him that he should have
been•fited to hold such a comma,nd-.w.lien so incompetent from
disease, and wounded so badly.'

SUMMARY OF NEINSI

'public eptitton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The Paris Moniteur publishes a Royal ordinance, instituting
a special Committee to examine the claims of the Postmasters,
whose profession was likely to be destroyed by the establish-
ment of railroads.

Thursday being the anniversary of Napoleon's death, a
funeral service, for the repose of his soul, was celebrated in all
the churches of Paris.

The Presse, the Constitutionnel, and the Siecle, alluding to
the article of the Debuts of Wednesday, on the right of search,
recommence their attacks on the treaties of 1831, 1833, and
1841, and are not sparing of invectives against the Ministerial
paper; but in their remarks we find neither interest nor novelty.
Thursday, being Ascension day, was observed in Paris as a
public holiday. The Bourse remained closed, and little busi-
ness was transacted at the Cafe Anglais.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 28th ult. The
Chamber of Deputies resumed on that day the discussion on
the 160,000,000 Loan Bill. M. Burriel having demanded of
Ministers if, besides the articles of the capitalisation contract,
which were read to the Congress a few days before, there was
not a secret article authorising the contractors to issue titulos
in England. M. Surra y Hull replied, that there was an addi-
tional article, but that the contractors were not empowered
thereby to issue titulos in England, or elsewhere.
Madrid Bourse of the 2dth :—Five per Cents. with eleven
coupons, 261,4 for cash, 27 at 60 days.
Ihe Wurtzburgh Gcezette of the 3d, states that the King of
Prnssia intends going to St. Petersburgh on the 26th of June.
His Majesty's absence from his dominions will be about a
month, at the end of which time he will return, and visit the
provinces of the Rhine, to be present at the grand reviews of
his army, which are to take place early in August. The Prus-
sian Court will then reside alternately at Cologne, Coblentz,
Dusseldorf, Munster, and at the Royal Castle of Stobzenfels.
The Kings of Bavaria, of Wirtembe g, of Hanover, of the
Belgians, the Emperor of Russia, several Archdukes, his Royal
Highness Pi ince Albert, and some German and French Princes,
have, it is said, received invitations to join his Majesty of
Prussia on this occasion.
