fos rails great obstacle to enterprise. but that il
will be utterly impossible to obtain the quantity in
France which will be required for the next four
years without the erection OF additional ironworks,
demanding an enormous capital, and which proba-

PARIS, Sept. 30.-Much attention has been paid in
this capital, both by the press and the public to the
recent arrivals from the United States with respect
been discussed; but all journals and all parties
unanimous in thinking that it would be the very
height OF folly for Mexico to attempt hostllitles The
Journal des Debots, the government organ, takes
jotcs ct depopiles but advises themto the words
of an American philosopher" TO grin and bear it;'
because it says, ifthey don't thee will give the Uni
ted States excuse for seizing another tremendous
slice, perhaps all of the Mexican domlnions. The
Debats thinks that grand peupie, as it calls them,
OF the United States, have very ichlngs fingers for
the property Of their neghbors, and it advises them
to be somewhat more scrupulous for the FUTURE lest
Europe should find itself called upon, by regard foi
its own interests and dignity, to prevent further g
gantic increase OF the already gigantic dominlons
they possess.
The tale of the Times, Of London, Of the finding
Of slave shackles in the wreck Of the noble Ameri-
can vessel the Missouri, has been received in this
city with varied feelings OF contempt, disbelief and
Indignation.
The defeat of the united French and English
forces in their attempt to chastise the savages Of
Madagascar, has excited very painful interest.
1t seems quite certain, that, In the next session,
the government will present law for wholesale
reduction of postage and the adoption of modified
uniform rate-twn sous being charged tor letters 60
ing forty mes-fOur for letters going a hundred,
and 80 on The measure will afford great satisfac-
ton to the entire population and especially to the
mercantile classes
In domestic politics nothing is stirring. Some
elections have lately taken place, in which the
didaes of the government were successful; but this
will not add to their majority in the Chamber, as the
places were previously occupied ny their partIsans
il does not appear probable that there will be dis
solution of the parliament this year, though 1t is not
quite certain. spit appears to have taken place
between sections of the opposition, the radical
and republican having set their newspapers to work
to abuse NJ Theirs, with whom they acted cordially
during the last three or four sessions.
The Queen aud her mother returned to Madrid
on the 18th They were delighted wife their visit
to the provinces.
Madrid has not been again disturbed, but the GO
vernment is continually the alert and the troops
we call tranquility, it would, in any other city, be
considered anarchy, the sense of uncertainty and
insecurity Is SO very great Consplrators are al
ways conspring, but, at present, they have to act
ment has adopted very cunning measures to worm
out their secrets and defeat their plans
The eternal question OF the Queens marriage is
again agitated One OF the everlasting Coburgs is
talked off, and, as he is supported by England, Aus
tra Prussia, and consented to by France, it may be
that he will obtain the Queens hand. But the Span
ish people, certainly taken in the mass will not like
him. They wish the Qceen TO marty one Of her
cousins-a Spaniard, and they will be sorely disap-
pointed if she do vot. They would rather she we'd
ded Don Gurlos son than foreigner But their
voice will not be heard by the high and mighty per-
sonages who who meddle in our affairs.
No frou he hat
the new contributions are being paid regularly
Many oi the Madrid shopkeepers who closed their
shops will be prosecuted at law
Italy.
Our Government has commenced, or is about 10
commence negotiations for treaty OF commerce
with the United States The basis Of the treaty
offered by Naples will be very extensive reduction
Of import duties and other commercial facilities
Such treaties have already been made with England
and France, and will be entered into with as many
other countries as possible
Germany.
All talk at present is about the constitution, which
has been promised to us for more than thirty years
The king is said finally to have made up his mind
to carry out the project OF constitution this very
year but We have expec ted 1t so oeg, and been
often disappointed, that tor one will only believe
we shall have II when we have got it. The kings
design is not to give us such Chambers as you have
in America or England, or even IN France; mlniste
rial responsibility TO them, and the right OF making
law, will not be acceded-they may give theropin-
ion on such questions as the government chooses to
submit to them, and that all. 1t is previously lit
tie, you will think, aud It's; but we shall be over
oyed to have it, for you may be assured that it will
be only the precursor Of better and greater things.
1t willbe the narrow point of the wedge, closely
followed by the larger.
The empress of Russia has been visiting her bro.
her, the king OF Prussia, and is to leave to-day en-
route, for Italy. She is not so i'll as was repre-.
sented.
The religious agitation remains pretty much in
the same state. Upon the whole, however, perhaps
Ronge, the apostle of the new faith. has increased
the number oi his adherents Our Government
views his proceedings with great dsapprobation a.
does all the other governments OF Germany; and
they are all determined TO discourage it as much ar
possible. A recent order from all the ministerial
departments of this country declares that any Off.
cial giving il countenance, or any other of the new
religious sects, shall be dismissed
