FRANCE

PARIS, Atari. 14.—The affair of the Tribune, which is to
come on before the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, occupies
the attention of the Paris public much mote than the proceed-
ings of the northern and southern barbarians in the east; in
fact, the belief that the French will do nothing
.but talk in this
business, and leave the acting part to the Russians and Egyp-
tians, seems so prevalent in the best informed circles in Paris,
that the interest at first taken in the fate of the Porte has given
place- to the feelings excited by the prospect of an &mettle on
Tuesday next. The government is employed in great prepara-
tions for the occasion, and if one quarter of the force to be
mustered on Tuesday for battle array against the republic were
despatched to the Bosphorus, Admiral Roussin might swagger
with some reason. Fifty thousand troops of the line, forty
thousand national guards, and artillery in great force, will be
in readiness to act at a moment's warning. But I understand
that the republican leaders have taken every precaution to ren-
der abortive the good intentions of the jests milieu, and tran-
quillity will be maintained in spite of every attempt of evil dis-
posed persons to excite disturbance.
It is stated that the task of M. Marrost in defending the Tri-
bune will be to prok e that the Chamber is really a prostituted
Chamber, and for that purpose he has collected, it is said, am-
ple materials. But when he comes to prove that one deputy
has sold himself for 2000 francs a session, another for five, and
so forth—when he states that M. Viennet is particularly fa-
voured by the secret treasury of the government, is it proba-
ble that the Chamber will listen to him with patience, or suf-
fer him to proceed at all?
M. Carrignac, I hear, is to be charged with the duty of sta-
ting the political feelings of the republican party. He will en-
deavour to show that the republicans wish for nothing inconsis-
tent with the good government or with the welfare of France.
This will certainly be an extraordinary spectacle, but al-
though the proceedings may excite a storm within the Cham-
ber, nothing but some unforeseen accident can trouble tran-
quillity without.

SPAIN

CONVOCATION OF THE SPANISH CORTES, AND SUCCESSION OF

THE DAUGHTER OF FF;RDINAND,

The enclosed extraordinary supplement to the Official Ga-
zette of this government, will explain to you the motive for the
express which I forward to you. The supplement which has
just appeared contains the following decrees, which are of great
importance:—
" MADRID, April B.—The immemorial custom of the regular
and direct succession to the throne of Spain is notorious. It
was acknowledged and confirmed by the law 2, title 15, of the
Partida 2, constantly followed without any example to the con-
trary—re-established by the pragmatic sanction of the 29th of
March, 1830, which was demanded, and of which a duplicate
was ordained in the Cortes of 1789, against the pretended inno-
vation by the decree of 1713 which was never carried into effect.
It is also not less notorious that the kingdoms of Spain have
always observed the custom of swearing fidelity to the heredi-
tary 'Prince or to the eldest son, or, in default Uri male heir, to
the eldest daughter of their king.
"In consequence, then, of this law and immemorial custom
and of this ancient practice, I do ordain by the present decree,
that my kingdoms shall swear fidelity to the most Serene In-
fanta Donna Maria Elizabeth Louisa, my very dear and very
much loved eldest daughter, as their hereditary princess, in de-
fault of a male prince • and I ordain that this solemn act of oath
and of homage shall place ou the 20th June next, in the
church of the royal monastery of St. Jerome, of this court, with
the assistance of the prelates, grandees, titles, and deputies of
cities ( cinades) and towns, who shall be convoked to this effect:
and that the rest of the classes designed, who shall not be pre-
sent at this solemnity, shall take the oath in their respective
places of residence, the said oath and homage being taken be-
fore and in the presence of the persons to be by us designated
for that purpose.
" You will understand that this decree, decided on in my
chamber of council, is to be carried into full effect."

Signed with the King's royal mark, at the Chateau, the 4th
of April, 1833.
"To the President of the Council and Chamber."

Immediately after this decree succeeds the following, which
is the one which convokes the Cortes for the 20th of June :

"The 20th June of this year, being fixed on in order that my
kingdoms and vessels may take the oath of fidelity to the Infanta
Donna Maria Elizabeth Louisa, my very dear and very much
loved eldest daughter, as hereditary Princess of these kingdoms,
in default of male issue, in the church of the royal convent of
St. Jerome, of this court. I ordain that by the consent of the
Chamber, letters of convocation shall be issued according to
usage to all cities and ton us having the right of voting in Cor-
tes, in order that they may send to Madrid deputies at the epoch
fixed on, furnished with full powers and authority which ought
to he acknowledged by the Junta of assistants to the Cortes,
.which I will appoint.
"Signed with. the Royal hand at the Chateau, the 4th April,
1833.
"To the President of the Council and the Chamber."
