Two of the most important vacancies occasioned
by the death of the late Sir THOMAS MAITLAND,
acre been filled up. The Marquis of HASTISGS is ap-
rc,in:ed Governor of Malta, and Sir FREDERICK ADAM
1.17 d High Commissioner in the lonian Islands.

We learn, by privateadvices from Paris, that the first
:nd anxiously expected dispatches from M. DE MARCEL-
who was lately sent on an extraordinary mission
to Madrid, had been received at Paris on Saturday
Bight, and became the subject of deliberation at an ex-
traordinary Council of Ministers on Sunday. If the ar-
rival of the new Envoy failed in producing any great
,ensation at Madrid, or any striking change on the
mind of FERDINAND, it is described at least as causing
-In uncommon sensation at the hotel of the French Em.
l, and exciting a host of no very agreeable feelings
la the mind of the Ambassador, M. De TALARU.
After expressing his surprise and indignation at see-
m,/ his services declined, and his person superseded
without notice or apology, at an important juncture,
.ad in an affair that properly belonged to his mission,
rr immediately declared that he had no longer any bu.
"cis at Madrid, and sent in his resignation. The
Ecnch Ministry, however, refused to accept his resig-
"lion, bat allowed him two months' leave of absence to
came to Paris to apish' his conduct. It is supposed

that wen 1 e arrives, he will be offered, and will ac-
cept, the Vienna mission.
The Cabinet, it is said, have resolved to render them-
selves in future independent of M. DE TALARU, or any
other rm./representative, by appointing Gen. Bouastowr,
who commands the Army of Occupation, to be their
Plenipotentiary at the Court of Madrid. Their remon-
strances, it is hoped, will produce greater effect when
enforced by the commander of 50,000 bayonets. This
new arrangement will not take place till the 15th inst.
when M. DE MARCELLCS is expected to return to Paris,
with the amnesty which his mission was mainl) intended
to expedite.

We have received to-day such of the Paris Papers of
Monday as did Lot reach us by yesterday's Express,
and also a copy of the bale of Tuesday.
The Etoile having announced that the Chambers
would open their Sittings on the 7th of April, in com-
memoration of the day on which the Ft each troops
crossed the Bidassoa, the C'onstitutionnel justly remarks,
that the period for opening the new Chamber was fixed
by the Or dounance which dissolved the old, and that it
is the 24th of March, which leaves comparatively but a
short time for accomplishing the great and complicated
%yolk of the elections.
The Journal des Debuts contains accounts from Rome
to the end of the last month, by which it appears that
the mortality which hds lately prevailed amongst the
high authorities of the Catholic Church is not likely
soon to stop. Another distinguished Prelate, Cardinal
SEs-LaoLt, Prodatory to his Holiness, had received the
Sacrament, and was not expected to live. The POPE'S
own sister, Countess MoNcatu, was also at the extre-
mity ; and the aged Pontiff, grieving for the dead,
trembling for the dying, and deeply shattered by his
I late attack, was not expected to survive the objects of
his confidence and his love.

The intelligence from Madrid in these Papers comes
down to the 3d instant. It reiterates the assertion
that the long-promised amnesty was at last to be pro-
claimed, in obedience to "the pressing demands" of the
French Government. The Swiss Guards formed since
the KING'S return seem to have incurred his displeasure.
Trey are, it is said, to be removed, and their place to
be tilled by 12,000 Irishmen, who are expected in Spain
to form regiments of that nation as in former times!!
