LATEST FROM FRANCE.


By the packet ship Erie, Capt. Funk, from
IIavre we have our files of Paris papers to the
24th of August, inclusive, but they add very
little to our previous intelligence from the con-
tinent.
The advices from Spain are Of painfully
interesting character. The constitution of
1912 has indeed been proclaimed, but its
proclamation seems to be every where atten-
ded with violence. tumult anarchy and blood
shed. The Queen acts under the influence
of terror, and all against whom the soldlery
and excited people bear animosty, are obliged
to tly for their lives. The members of the late
cabinet have sll sought safety in precipitate
departure, or in close concealment. General
Qucsada, the commandant of Madrid, has
been assassinated by some of the National
Guards.
The quarrel between France and Switzer-
land. or rather the canton of Basle, seems to
be growing serious.
The cholera was still making progress in
Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia, but its rava-
ges are much less dreadful than In 1881. In
Lombardy it seems to have subsided.
The French King had gone to Versailles,
where his Ministers had daily interviews with
him.
The following intelligence from Madrid of
August 10Th, supplies us with details which
show that the capital was far from being IN the
tranquil state which the telegraph represented
It.
"Our communications with La Grana are
so slow in coming, and so wrapped up in mys-
terv, that this capital, terrified by the numer-
Gus excuses which have been committed with
in the last two days, is almost led to believe
that, at this moment there is no longerin Spain
any royal authority.
"The domineering sway is that Of terrorism,
supportcd bv military insIrrection. We are
certain, at anv rate, that the Queen, terrified
bv the cries of death issued from soldiery in
famed by the most brutal drunkenness, has
been obliged, for the present, virtually to abdl-
cate her sovereign power. Some soldiers, the
blind instruments of secret societies, have torn
with their swords the constitutional or, rather,
the social compact
THE Constitution of 1872, just consented
to by a royal decree, extorted from rather than
consented to, by our sovereign, is to be to day
the object of kind of worship. An oath to
this Constitution is to be taken; and to-mor-
row the Queen, brought from La Granja by the
troops who domineer over her, Will enter her
capital where hideous system of terrorism is
about to be established. Already persons be-
longing to the Isturitz ministry, or known by
the moderation of their opinions, have been OBJ
liged, to escape outrageous, or perhaps the
knives ofhired assassins, either toquit Madrid
or to conceal themselves.
"There is nolonger safety for peaceable citi-
Zens. Quesada was murdered yesterday two
leagues offfrom the capital, by National Guards
who have thus cruelty taken vengeance for
his severe order of the day. He was coward
ly shot by assassins in the uniform of the Urlan
militia, and Isturitz and his colleagues would
hare shared the same fate, if some of their
friends had not provided them with suitable
retreat. All the other State functionuries be-
longing to the former Government have left
Madrid, and it is feared that they willnot find
successors; for what Ministry would venture
in the midst of this popular effervesence, this
sanguinary reaction, totake charge of the pub
lie safety!

GALVESTON, ISLAND, Sept. Sd, 1886.
1t will be gratifying to you, l am well salts
fed, to learn that all schisms between the Ar
nv, the people and the Cabinet, have been al
laved.-all have become Of one way of think
ing, and nothing but harmony and good
feeling exists. We hear no hostile foe
approaching us, and that the Mexican Ar
INV has dwindled down to 1000 men, still
at Matamonas, decreasing daily by deser-
tions: that much discord and disunion pre-
walls, and all that have ever been in Texas
among them, never wish to visit it again. Our
Commissioners, Teal and Cairns, who went
there to effect an exchange of prisoners, &c.
&C., are still retained and the last accounts
receivedfrom them, stated they were In close
confinement! So much for Mexican treachery.
We have nothing to expect from this great and
znaonaninaouS nation but treachery and butch
ery: and the sooner we end the war at their
own gat1s, the better it will be for Texas.
An attempt was lately made to aid Santa
Anna to escape, by Spaniard, who goes by
the name of Botholomew Pages, a native of
Catalonia, who is now in irons and will be
hung soon, expect. The particulars you will
find in the accompanying extract from our
newspaper.
Sants Anna and Almonte are now in irons
and will be kept so until congress disposes of
them. Santa Annals Private Secretary gave
information that led to the discovery of the
conspiracy. Yours, &c.
