PORTLAND, DGoNDA1, December, 9, 1906.

Tho we have received no later European
dates than those mentioned in our last, yet
several articles will be found under our for
eign head not unworthy perusal.
Letters from Cadiz mention that the most
violent animosity subsists between the French
and Spanish sallors.-not a night passes but
assasslnations take place. The cause of those
disturbances is said to be owing to a rnisun-
derstanding between the French Admiral Vii
hneuve, and Gravina /; and the inhabitants
have taken part IN the dispute, under plea
that they shall be made. to suffer in conse-
quence OF the provisions being withheld for
the use of the French navy.
In Madrid very alarming disturbances have
taken place, which have bid defiance to GOV
ernment.-A decree by which a currcncv
calledPope' Money was made to circulate, ano
wlAch soon experienced depreciation, excl
TED violent dlscontonts amongt the citizens, who
demonstrated to the Prime Minister, but who
treated their complaints in an insulting man.
ner- The troops were ordered out, but instead
Of opposing Joined the nhabitants-Govern-
meht then call'din regiment ofSwiss Guards,
consisting ot2ooo men, who fired upon the peo-
pie, and between 4 and 500 persons were killed
OF wounded. "A few Of the leaders have been
eXlled to the country, government being
fearful OF proceeding to hasher meafures
-e D
Economy of Nh. Jefcrson.-We learn the
Executive OF the United States have hired
Steele's elegant Hotel, in Washington, for the
accommodation of the Tunisian Ambassador
and whose table, &c. is to be supported at the
public expence. What could prompt Mr.. JET
terson to be thus profuse with the bread taken
from the "nlouth ofLa6cr" we cannot conceive
unless \ IS owing 10 his attachment for the
color.
But our economical democrats tell Us, a. !
cover for this misuse Of the public none
that It IS custom for Christian States 70 re-
celve the agents of Bar6ary in this manner
tails IS not true and such conduct as il respects
our government, is a disgFacehl, hurniIiatino
thing. If the Regency of Tunis wished to
have minister reside III this country WHY not
support ham at their own expence !-Colonel
Lear, on his appointment as American Minis
ter oTunis, received ar outfit of four thous md
dollars, and q salary OF $4,000 year not from
the government OF that country, but from the
pockets OF the people of the United States
1t further appears that. the DISTINGUISHED
honor Of conveying His Excellence Sidi Solv-
man Melimei, to tbs country il one Of
on trigates, is, 10 demand restitution for
the capture Of a Tunisiar vessel, while atte-nD-
ing 70 enter the port Of Tripoi, contrary to
the law OF nations, when blockaded by our
SfuadTon.-It viii be fortunate for the DeoDle
Of the United States If this visit Of His Excel
lency Sldi Solyman MeiimeIi, does not prove
~ the end anocher Berreau business.
