Greece. and the Prince who was to be It's soVer-
eign. 49,.
Leopold is making preparations for his depar-
ture tor Greece. DIR. c. Nome, one of the most
eminent physicians of Frankfort, has received
from his ROYAL Highness a very flatrering auto.
graph letter, inviting him to accompany him on
yery advantageous terms, to Greece, as his do
mestic physician. The very learned DR.. A. Kirch-
ner, Counsellor of the Consistory, and principal
preacher at st. Catherin's Church in Frankfort,
has also received a fattering invitation to accom-
pany his Royal Highness to Greece, to make re-
searches relative to the arts and antiquities in that
country, under the protection of the new Govern
ment, and at the same time to fill the office of
Court Chaplain.
1t appears that Leopold is not to be married
to the eldest daughter of the Duke of Orleans
The Gazette de France gives a.report that the
hand of this princess has been solicited by the
King of Bavaria, for his eldest son. The Ham
burgh correspondent asserts, on the contrary,
that the latter is to marry the Princess Maria
Theresa. eldest daughter Of the Archduke Charles
of Austria.
The books had been opened at the Bank to re-
ceive the names of dissentients to the reduction
of the four per cents; the total sum entered was
we understand, about ESQ, 600, of which $4,000
was set down of one individual.
The Morning Herald Of the Goth says:-We
learn from the Manchester Courier that there is
a general turn out in that town among the cotton
weavers. We trust, however, that no such dis.
turbance is likely to take place as threatened
the peace there about l2 months ago. Delegates
have been appointed on the part of the weavers to
treat with a leading manufacturer (Mr. Parker,
who is disposed to offer terms which we hope
may meet the appreciation Of all parties.
FRANcE.-The French papers generally agree
in regarding the dissolution of the Chambers as
near at hand, and both parties were preparing for
the event.
A report prevailed on the 10th, at Paris, that
the chambers were to be Immediately dissolved,
and that a new one was to be convoked on the
51st of May. The papers Of the 18th mention
the repetition of the report, but add that 1t was
not credited.
1.-The propagation has had the effect that might
have been anticipated-it has enabled the lib
eral Deputies to canvass their respective depart
ments with all the eclat of men who had done
their duty, and thus defeat the pretensions of
Royalist candidHes.
Expectation against .4igiers.-M. de Bour-
mont was to leave Paris on the 21st of April
our dates are of the l8th-to assume the COM
mand of the expedition against Alsiers.
The total amount of troops destined to Join the
expedition, which were to arrive in the e%nvirons
of Toulon between the 25th and 29th April,
were TO- be ST. so men-namely, 3O,O25 of in
fantry; 600 cavalry; 1900 artillery; and 225
engineers. The number of horses and mules
for the cavalry, artillery, and wagon train and
baggage to be embarked, will be 245O. To the
above may be added, so horse and 70 foot gen.
darrnes; 100 deputy commissaries: and 200 men
employed as clerks, secretaries, attendants upon
the Field Hospitals, and other supernumeraries,
divided into two companies.
The ships belonging to the Royal navy. which
are to form a part of the expedition, were all in
harbor, except the Marie Therese, which is now
fitting out. They have already formed their
lines, in order to avoid all kind of disorder and
confusion. They are 81 in number, among
which are five of the line. One Of the French
papers says it is generally believed that the Pa
cha of Egypt will cooperate with France in the
attack upon Algiers. and that should it succeed,
that Regency will be placed under the control
of the Pacha, who will pay a yearly tribute to
France as a species of indemnity. This appears
to us to be more than doubtful.
Two ships, a Tuscan and Sandman, have been
taken in the act of attempting to violate the
.ou'ey suPPiies lhlo AiSiers. Dotn
have been declared good and lawful prizes, not.
outstanding the remonstrances of the Austrian
Ambassador.
Mr.. Hughes has left the Hague for Paris, pre-
to his repairing to his new post at Stock
holm, to which he has lately been appointed by
the American Government.
The Moniteur publishes the amount of the in
direct taxes for the first three months of 1880.
compared with the first three months of the two
preceding years. Compared with 1926, there is
a total elimination Of $4,000 francs. The
augmeDtations amount only to 1,119,O 900 francs.
Compared with 1929, there is a real augmenta-
ton of l,846, 900 francs. But the Budget of
1880 is calculated, not according to the receipt of
1929, but to that of 1928; 80 that, if the three
resemble the first, we shall have this
year a little deficit of % millions.
Spaua.-Bya royal decree, the Salic law has
been abolished in Spain. the King having resolv-
ID to settle the succession on his issue by his pre-
wife, whether male or female. This has
treated much excitement and given occasion for
much reproach, as the crown NAV pass from the
Bourbon line. Advices from Madrid of the 5th
lit. say
"The ROYAL Decree for the abolition, of IN.
