Tftbes cannot last They will not last through
the next session; and if O'Connell is the instru

FRANCE.
Our French news principally relates to Spanish
affairs, which we shall transfer to its more ap-
propriate head.-The intelligence peeuhar 10
that kingdom is scanty.
A report prevailed, says the Courier FRAN
Gals, that Marshall Gerard, who is the only min
ster that accompanied the King to Fontalne
bleau, has determined to make an amnesty for
political offenders a cabinet question, as II re-
cards the other ministers, and has declared TO MS
friends that he would return from Fontaneblau
with an act of amnesty, or without MINISTERIAL
portfolio. $3.50
The late Mademoiselle Bourgoin, the celebrat-
ed actress has left million of francs to her ma
turaI son. whose father was Marshal Oudinot.-
Count Toreno in his exile, was relieved by Ma
dame B., and has recovered his estate in Spain,
amounting tot or millions, which it is suppos-
ed will also be left to the son OF the above nam
ed actress.
In the Partisan political and commercial cir
Giles, nothing is now talked OF but Spaln-her
wars, debts, deputies, and dishonesty. The i'm
preston is now becoming general, that no con-
fidence can be placed in pledges given oy any
party i'm Spain. The consequences OF this state
of public opinion, for which Spain may thank
herself will soon be found to operate runousiy
on the commerce Of that country.
SPAIN.
The war, or rather the butchery, between the
government and Carlist parties, continues to De
carried on with no de6nitve results in the
northern parts of Spain. 1t is evident that both
parties are feeble in force, but mutually excited
by spirit of exasperated vengeance. In their
frequent conflicts, no quarter is gwen on elmer
side. The weaker party is massacred oy the
stronger, and neither age nor sex Is spreo. IL
assumes every feature of civil war in Its most
ferocious aspect, and is immeasurably worse
than the sanguinary contest that was so long
carried on in Portugal. We cannot but hope
that measures will be resorted to by the neigh
boring powers to put an end to this bloody war
fare.
On the whole, the Queens party seems to
have the advantage. On the 2Sth September,
whilst Ell Pastor and Cordova were driving the
Carlists out of the Bastan, ZumalacarreSuy,
with his four battaons, was engaged with the
division of Oran and part OF the column OF Lo-
renzo. The action commenced at O'Clock IN
the morning and continued until four in the al
ternoon. 1t took place at Salinas de Ora. with
in five leagues Of Pampeluna. The troops OF
the Queen attacked the Carlists, and blood flow
ed during seven hours without Interruption
The latter at last gave way, leaving 400 killed
and wounded on the field.
Accounts from Bayonne state that the health
Of Gen. Nina was but slowly improving so as
to make il matter of some doubt whether ne
would be able to assume the command OF the
army in Navarro before it becomes too late in
the season for active operations. Rodil was at
Zabri on the 3Oth, preparing to return to Pam.
peuna He did not intend 10 withdraw from
the army until the arrival of Gen. Nina
PORTUGAL.
This kingdom is no longer the theatre OF stir
ring events. All is calm and tranquil. The
following remarks by London editor give we
think very just picture of the present posture
of its affairs
on the course of Portuguese affairs. The young
Queen will get married with all convenient
speed. and the son of Eugene Beauharnois,
when seated with her on the throne of Portu-
gal, is likely to beat the very least-qulte as
efficient a protector Of the young liberties OF
Portugal as Don Pedro was or would have been.
Perhaps, on the whole, it may be just as well
for Portugal that at this time, Don Pedro should
have died. Ambition is a catching disorder
the very epidemic Of rOyalty-and it is proba-
BILE enough that had health and strength pemit-
ted, Don Pedro might have made an attempt 10
appropriate to himself the diadem which he re-
covered for his daughter. This might have
caused civil war. The crisis is now over,
and Portugal has breathing time. Very much
is to be done-for the condition of the people
is lamentable. They are poverty -stricken-they
are out Of heart,"-they are burthened with
excessive taxation-and the strictest economy
must be used in the expenditure of the public
revenues. Indeed to effect permanent good in
Portugal, the whole system of finance should be
remodelled, and this without delay.
GREECE.
A letter from Nauplia, dated September Sd,
says-"It is all over with the rebels; single
battalion has entirely destroyed their whole ar
my, 1t is true that this battalion made use of
their bayonets and swords, which is an unusual
mode of fighting in Greece. The Roumeliote
policari attacked the Moreots, killed so, wound
ed 20, and took so prisoners, with three stand
ards, and we have just received positive inte-
gence that one of the Chiefs of these armed
bands has been arrested"
