* " Now were the eyes of all the parish upon these our
weekly councils. In a short space the minister came among
us. He spake concerning us and our councils to a multitude
of other ministers at the Visitation; and they spake thereof
unto the ministers of London ; so that even the Bishops heard
and marvelled thereat thus did our counsels enter
into the hearts of our generals and our lawgivers ; and from
henceforth, even as we devised, thus did they."—Miscellanies
(Pope, Swift, &c.), 1719.

Madrid papers of the 12th have been received, from
which we learn that a number of arrests had been made
at Malaga, in consequence of the late affray between the
military and the inhabitants. Among others the editor
of the Opinion Publica, a journal of that place, had
been not only arrested but transported, without trial, to
some distant part of Spain. It appears that the editors
of the two Madrid journals, who had been subjected to
the same treatment, are allowed to reside at Seville, and
communicate with their friends. The Eco del Comercio
announces the arrival at Madrid, from Paris, of specie to
the amount of 48,000,000 reals (480,0001.), advanced by
foreign capitalists, and deposited in the bank of San
Fernando, for the purpo,e of supporting the public funds.
The Gazette publishes returns of the foreign trade with
Spain in 1843, from which it appears that the imports
amounted to 4,234,2661., and the exports to 3,047,3501.
The Customs duties produced only 858,9341. Queen
CHRISTINA appears to be in in bad favour with the
people of Barcelona, and, it is said, will soon return to
Paris.

Most of the Paris papers advert to the discussion
which took place in the House of Commons relative to
the weak points of the English coast, and comment
chiefly on the speeches of Sir C. NAPIER and Lord PAL-
MERSTON. The National concurring in the statements
made by the Noble Lord, says England is no longer
isolated from the continent—she has frontiers, steam has
made her a continental power, and calls upon France to
take advantage of the circumstance and increase her
naval power. The Ministerial Globe praises both the
present and former Cabinets for what they have already
done in that respect. After alluding to the statements
made in the Commons it adds :—" The English compre-
hend the importance of the great works executed within
the last few years in our seaports. In the sitting of June
13, Sir C. NAPIER called the attention of the House of
Commons to the extension given to our steam navy, and
to the works going on in our seaports, particularly Dun-
kirk. Whatever may be said by the Opposition, who,
like the Jews in the time of ATRALIE, seem to have
eyes in order not to see, the Government has not ceased
since the Revolution of July to labour ac.
tively for the maritime advancement of France,
by improving our harbours as much in a commercial as
military point of view." The army estimates were still
under discussion in the Chamber of Deputies. when
General SUBERVIE complained of the constant changes
made in the uniform of the troops, and more especially
of abolishing certain emblems which France recog-
nised with pride. The Gallic cock, for instance, adopted
after the Revolution of July, had been removed from the
caps of the infantry—a crown had been substituted in its
place, and it was Said that the vacant space on the brass
plate was to be filled up with a flew- delis. Marshal
SOULT said the latter statement was entirely without
foundation. With regard to the other points, he said
the cap had been altered because it was too heavy, and
as there was not sufficient room for the cock, the crown
had been substituted, but the cock still re-
mained on the poles to which the colours were
attached. Colonel ALLARD also disapproved of
the change, for which no sufficient reason
had been given, and M. DUPIN justly remarked that
these emblems, though trifling of themselves, had na-
tional recollections, with which it was dangerous to in
terfere, and nothing could be more iw,politic than chang-
ing the national uniform, which might be regarded as a
bond of alliance—as a contract between the KING and
the people. On the estimates for Algeria being pro.
posed, M. LASTEYRIE spoke in strong terms against
the system adopted for that colony, and found fault
especially with the vast expense annually incurred. One
hundred thousand men would soon be required to occupy
the territory, and even that number would not be suffi-
cient. Marshal SOULT vindicated the present policy, and
stated that, according to the latest dispatches from the
Governor, there would be no vestiges of the present
disturbances.
