There appears to be some trouble between
France and England relative to the marriage of
the Queen of Spain. 1t is said that The marriage
has been broken off, tits this will lead
to a serious rupture in the ent.a. -ordials.
The potatoe crop has turned OIL "a complete
failure.
The wheat crop is full average.
Tho government of England and the people
OF Spain have manifested so much hostility
to the marriage of the Queen of Spain's sister
to Louis PhillpPe's youngest son, that the cele-
bration OF the nuptias has been postponed for the
present, If rot forever. Tho immediate conse.
quence Is a tremendous war of words between
England, France and Spain. The remote conse-
quence will probably be the destruction of the
e"te"t< cordial which has so long existed between
tina courts Of st. James and st. Cloud 1t is hoped
shat the sudden extingui.hment of the fires on the
affairs of two young hearts, will not prove the
means Of exciting general confagration among
the crowned heads and kingdoms of Europe.
The total failure of the potato crop appears to
be sad reality. Every where in Ireland, and in
the greater part Of the Brit sh Island, the potato
fields arc shrouded with the dark nantes of the
plague. The vegetable has turned into putrid

From the continent of Europe, including Russia,
we have dismal accounts of the progress of the
blight. The future use of the potato, as an ar
ticle OF food, is now almost abandoned.

announce that dispatch had been received con-
veying the intelligence that Don Carlos, the Spa
nish pretender, had made his escape, and will

In the affairs oil Spain the escape of Don Car
los from his imprisonment is likely Just now to
have important influence.

and Portuguese, owing to the unsettled state of
