FROM TR! JOURNAL DU COINIMIRCI, MAY 22.
PARIS, MAT al.
Th! Minister of Commerce has presented to the
Vs ember of Deputies the project of law on the duties
of Customs. We will not venture to give an opinion
on this document, upon a first reading. We intend
carefully to study it, both in the whole aad in its several
parts. We shall have plenty of time for examination
end reflection, for it is not at all probable that the pro-
ject of law can he discussed in the part of the Session
Which remains before the prorogation of the Chambers.
Our readers wilt find, in that passage of the develop-
rnent of the motives on which the project is founded
which treats of the bounties on the exportation of refined
sugars, an explanation of the contradictory reports
which have been in circulation among the merchants,
and which we have mentioned. The Minister appears
to have hesitated a long time between the various pro-
posals that were made, and has at length resolved on
adopting none of them, but to leave things in stain quo.
The Committee appointed to examine the project of
law relative to the eventual credit of 52,000,000, heard
to-day the statement of the Minister of War. After a
pretty long conference, it is'said to have been recoge
nized—ht, that part of the sum was already spent; 2J,
that the occupation of the 31orea, and the relief afforded
to the Greeks, could not yet cease, any more than the
blockade of Algiers ; 3elly and lastly, that the Minister
having, on the faith of the es entusl credit of 80,000,000,
voted lait year, augmented the farce of the army by
51,000 men, without any provision having been made
for this expense by Vie Ordinary votes of credit, it was
impossible entirely to reject the project of the Govern-
ment. Nevertheless, it is affirmed 'that the Committee
will propose to reduce the vote of credit which Is asked
for by 10,000,000 or 12,000,000.
The Queen of Spain died on the 17th of this month.
This news was transmitted yesterday (rims Bayonne by

a courier who was to bring the melancholy news to
Dresden, passed through Bayonne on the 20th.) This
Princess, who was of the House of Saxony, was the,
third wife of Ferdinand VII. She was born on the Bth
of December, 1803, and Married on the Roth of o:to-
ber, 1819. being then not quite /6 years of age. The
King, her husband, was then 35 years Of age.

ANCONA, MAT T.
We learn from various quarters that purchases of
rem, Corn, and other articles requisite for the Supply of
a fleet, are making In the Mediterranean ports, for ac-
count of English houses, from which it is inferred that
the English naval force in the Mediterranean will be
reinforced. The English here are of opinion that, the
blockade of the Dardanelles will be shortly pot an end
to, as the intended object is not attained, as the inter-
courß of all nations with the Levant is much im-
peded by.it, and the interest of England requires that
this state of things shall not continue. They therefore
Aar it probable that the Russian Government will at
hist consent to the
• ,
assase with Constantinople, to prevent the many dis•
pates that may arise from the continuation ofthe block-
ade; and the more so, as the commerce of the Russian
provinces of tbe Black Sea is *hotly suspetided by the
loss of the only Channel for thetzliiiirtation of their pro.
duce. They affirm that proposals have been made from
London to the Celli,* at St. Pctersburgh to induce the
peror to limit the operations of the squadron in' the
same manner as on its first appearance in the Medi-
