FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.—The arrests at the Optcra Comique still
excite public curiosity. The plot has been connected
with the attempt at the Hippodrome, and indeed the
chief actors are implicated in both. Four days after the
affair at the Opera men were posted on the road to St.
Cloud with the same object, and were taken into custody.
Arrests have taken place to the number, it is said, of a
hundred, and those last arrested are lodged in the prison
of Mazas. The chief conspirators are mostly Belgians,
and so determined were they in their proceedings, that
they had even provided an ambulance, &c., for the
wounded. Had they succeeded in their attempt on the
Emperor, the cry of Aux armes would have been raised,
barricades thrown up, all public functionaries put to
death, and, in short, a reign of terror and the Red Re-
public thoroughly established.
The Emperor and Empress purpose to leave for the
Pyrenees on the 20th inst.

Queen Christina arrived in Paris on Wednesday. Her
Majesty is accompanied by the Due de Rianzares, as well
as by a portion of her family, and brings a numerous
retinue.

SPAIN.—The Ministry are again in the midst of a
crisis. Gen. Lersundi has, it is said, tendered his resig-
nation.
The Espana of the 7th says that an understanding has
been come to between the Spanish and French authorities
as to the boundary line between the two countries near
Navarre, and consequently the troops which were stationed
on both sides the fro►,tier to defend the respective rights
of both countries, have revel-rod orders to return to their
former quarters.
PORTUGAL.—The parliamentary session at Lisbon
has been prolonged to the 20th inst., and the Deputies are
working double time to get through the Budget.

ITALY.—Letters from Florence state that it was again
rumoured that the Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany in-
tended to abdicate in favour of his son. The marriage of
the latter with a daughter of the King of Naples was con-
sidered to have been a preparatory step towards that re-
solution.
DENMARK.—The Asiatic cholera has re-appeared in
Copenhagen, where cases of it have existed, proving ra-
pidly fatal, ever since the middle of June. From that
period the disease has been slowly but steadily increasing ;
and the official return for the Bth of the present month
states that on that day there were 51 new cases and 18
deaths. From the first appearance of the disease there
have been registered in all 270 attacks and 142 deaths, so
that this formidable pestilence, which for several months
has been lingering in St. Petersburgh, has now approached
to within less than 500 miles of the coast of Norfolk.

AUSTRIA.—The young Emperor is much vexed at
the course taken by Russia. He had written an autograph
note to the Czar, which has been little heeded.
Austria continues to cgncentrate her troops on the
frontier of Bosnia. From Peterwardein, the largest
garrison town in the neighbourhood of the frontier, the
Austriansa are descending the Danube, and going up the
o
ne, in order to take up some position on the frontier
itself.

RUSSIA.—Prince Gortschakoff has issued a proclama-
tion to the people of Moldavia, announcing the occupa-
tion of those territories by Russia, asserting the desire of
the Czar to avoid an aggressive war on Turkey, and call-
ing on the Moldavians to keep to their agricultural labours
and commercial speculations, to be obedient to the laws
under which they live, and to look tranquilly to the future.
A circular despatch from the court of Russia to the
European Powers has been published, dated St. Peters-
burgh, June 20th (July 2nd), 1853.
After recapitulating the contents of the circular of May
30th, and the ultimatum proposed to Turkey, the despatch
proceeds to commcnt on the refusal of it by Turkey, as
well as on the conduct of Prance and England:—
The despatch goes on to protest that the intentions of
Russia are pacific, that she does not wish to seduce the
subjects of the Porte from their allegiance. The terms
on which the occupation is to cease are thus expressed :
" From the moment when Turkey shall have accorded us
the satisfaction which is our due, and when, at the same
time, the pressure which the attitude of the two ma-
ritime Powers produces upon us shall cease, our
troops shall return within the frontiers of Russia."
The despatch next declares that no oppression ehall be ex.'
