The French Papers of Wednesday are almost silent
on the affairs of Spain ; it being merely stated that
an extraordinary courier hats arrived from Madrid
with the news of.the appointment of a fresh Ministry,
entirely in accordance with public opinion, and that
the Extraordinary Cortes had been summoned.
The King of PRUSSIA is expected shortly at Paris,
but whether for the purpose of a political or love
intrigue does not appear: the French seem to think
the former; and there is a very confident report that
a negociation is on foot for the purpose of allowing
the Austrians and Prussians to enter France, for the
two-fold object of acting against Spain and securing
the obedience of the French army. General For
evidently alluded to this design in his speech in the
Chamber of Deputies on "Tueoclay.
The law of Finances is not yet disposed Of, and the
vote of 7,354,000 francs, proposed for " Temporary
Expenses," gave rise to an animated disCussion.

M. Churn de Coosaxacuas observed, that in all the Budgets
since 1814, provision had been made for Spanish, Portuguese,
and Egyptian refugees. Up to 1820, this prdvision made a yearly
item of 1,200,000 f. At that time a Revolution broke out in
Spain, and the enemies of the legitimate King returned to it.
But very soon other refugees, driven by the Revolution, offered
themselves upon the frontier of France ; and it was to her shame
that, up to this time, no proiision was made for these faithful
adherents of the descendant of Louis the Fourteenth. Mina,
flying from legitimate Government, received six thousand francs
of French money. The new tumults of his own country reached
the place of his exile, and he returned to Spain. Revolution
followed ip his footsteps. The faithful subjects of the Kittb, per-
secuted it home, sought an asylum in France—the People che-
rished them, but the Government neglected them. Wss it
the policy of Government that none should be favoured re-
fugees but revolted subjects? Waslhis the moment, when new
misfortunes threatened-6e faithful Spaniards (Murmurs on the
left), to close against them all aid on the part of Government?
There already existed an execrable sympathy amongst the con-
spirators of all countries against legitimate Government. Was
it the part of France to resolve that those subject, who displayed
their fidelity to their lawful Prince should be denied that assist-
ance which was once given to the partizans of Bonaparte, and
which was still given to the Egyptians? But the declarations of
Ministers held out a pledge of opposite conduct. Every asser-
tion made by the Minister of Justice from the Tribunal, and the
memorable discourse of the Minister of War, which had been
read yesterday, guaranteed the rigour of the principles of Go-
vernment with regard to the Interior; and the no less memo-
rable discourse of the Minister for Foreign Affairs held out the
assurance, that in its political conduct with regard to other
Powers, France would conform herself to the noble and preserv-
ing principles of the Holy Alliance.—( Laughter on the left. A
Member on the right, in a low tone of voice, called' Bravo.')

COLMAR, JULY 26.

~~~

The orator concluded by moving, as an amend-
ment, that the vote of 296,000 f. which was intended
for the Egyptian refugees alone, should be extended
to all strangers, refugees in France.

General For said, he hoped the Constitutional order which
was established in Spain, would reunite all Spaniards; and that,
at length, there would not be in that country either the unfor-
tunate or the exiled—(Approbation from the right).—They
were prosecuted in France, but France was always ready to
assist them, without the example of the Chamber. They were
ready to grant the funds which should be demanded for their
assistance; but if it were the recognition of a political principle
which it was intended to make them adopt, it was their duty to
reject it. The situation now was no longer the same with that
which followed the re-estabilshment of King Ferdinand in Spain,
at the latter period. France had drawn to its side a crowd of
Spaniards, whom the restoration forced to quit their country ; it
was, then, its duty to console them in their misery ; It has done
it, and it has done well. It is not the same now. Spaniards, influ-
enced by motives which I have no disposition to examine, have
put themselves in opposition to the established Government. They
are unfortunate; let us assist, but give no opinion on their conduct.
The Holy Alliance has been spoken ef. The Holy Alliance
We know it not, but by the tributes which it has imposed, and the
evils which it has entailed upon us—(Murmurs from the right).
I But if its soldiers appeared once more on the territory of the na-
tion—if an enemy, for the third time, should menace us, every
Frenchman, military or otherwise—(all the left side rising—
" Yes, all ! all !")--all France united would rise and march to ex-
terminate them—(A great number of voices from the left—
• Bravo ! bravo !")
M. CABLIIIIS, PIRIMIIIs and BILNJAULN CONSTANT exclaimed—
" Yes, yes, we would all arm !"
M. La FAversz the elder—Yes, yes, we would all fight—
(Continued cries of " Bravo !" from the left side).
A voice from the right—" On horseback and on foot, Is it
not?—(A laugh).

The Chamber unanimously ordered the printing of
this speech, which was frequently interrupted by cries
of " Bravo 1" from the left side, sometimes re-
ceived with approbation by *the right centre, and
heard all through with attention by the right side.
The original vote was agreed to. .
The trial of the Belfort conspirators at Colmar, still
continues; and is calculated Co exhibit a French
Court ofJustice in the most contemptible light. In-
stead of eliciting facts, witnesses are asked their opi-
nions ; and this not by the Counsel for the proseett-

We have this day witnessed an event which has thrown the
whole town into consternation. This morning, at half-past eleven,
three dreadful explosions were heard immediately following each
other. A dense cloud of smoke enveloped the horizon, and frag-
ments of the roofs of houses fell in all directions through the
town. It was soon anertained that the powder manufactory, and
the powder-mill. attached to it had been blown up, and that the
house of M. Pelissier, the director of this establishment, situated
half a mile from Colmar, had become a prey to the games.—
Tbe damage occasioned by this terrible catastrophe is incalcula-
ble, sixteen persons have perished. M. Pelissier evinced the
greatest courage in the midst of this calamity. His eldest daugh-
ter was taken dead from the ruins, and another bad her arm
carried away by the explosion.

The following are extracts from the French Papers :
PAM, JULY 31.
The Act of Accusation preferred by the Procureur-
General of the Court of Poictiers, against General
Berton and his accomplices, has been received at
Paris. The accused appear to have used the names
of several Members of the Chamber of Deputies, in
order to deceive those whom they wished to seduce.
Grandmenil, one of them, is stated to have asserted'
that he lade repeated journeys to Paris, in order
to t ommunicate with some of the leading Members
belonging to the Chamber; that he was intro-
duced to Lafitte, Benjamin Constant, Foy, and La
Fayette, and that he absolutely concerted with them
the future operations which were to take place upon
Saumur. The Marquis- de la Fayette, he said, was
the paymaster of his expenses upon all these occa-
sions ;. and it was arranged, that if the first a:-
tempt succeeded, a similar one was to be mace
in the capital, where everything was prepared.—
The avowed object of the conspiracy was to dethrone
the King, and to -Obtain possession of the Royal
Family. Grandmenil added, that in May last he
presented to the Marquis one of the most it'll °Mutt
agents in the conspiracy, and that upon taking lease
La Fayett-esaid, Let us proceed with courage, my
dear Grandmenil.' The document concludes by
stating that it was upon the faith of such enccu-
ragement that Grandmenil had the hardihood to lead
Berton into the neighbourhood of Saumur, where he
was arrested.

This forenoon we received New York Papers to
the Ilth July, containing a variety of interesting in-
telligence relating to South America. It is stated in
a Curacoa Paper of the 16th June; that the Royalists
still maintain themselves in Puerto Cabello, although
Ithe Colombian forces continued to pour a heavy fi:e
into the city horn the heights, where they hod
planted four pieces of cannon. The Spanish squadron
still maintained the ascendancy.
At Vera Cruz the Royalists still keep possession of
the Castle of St. Juan. Trade is represented as very
dull, both at Vera Cruz and Lima. The following
are extracts :
