ton relative TO the fortifcation Of Pa
ris. Reports are rife throughout Paris
that it was the intention of the Govern
ment TO proceed with the armament,
without reference to the question Of ne
cessity, and which ii is supposed meant,

court of Spain, Senior Olozaga will hold
a similar post in the French capitol, be-
ing provided with letters Of credence as
ambassador from Queen Isabella to Lou
is Philippe.

son of Don Carlos, and that he, in order
to preserve the legitimacy, shall assume
the title Of King Of Spain.

reported, contemplates the re-establish-
mcnt Of good Understanding with the
court of Rome. The Primate CT Spsin
is to take the initiative measures.

writing from Madrid on the 21st, say
