commenced operations, two young girls were de-
tached from the group, and entered the house in
which were the princes, for the purpose of asking
their gracious permission to proceed in their
dance. This permission was Of course granted
and then, says the Debafs, while the dancers com
menced the prelude OF their dance by a march
more stately than animated, the choir of musi-
clans gave vent to their feelings in the following
ditty:-

The mob of Tolosa then, for the sake of the
fireworks, deserted the square, where for

ed to the bridge. When the fireworks had all
exploded, the crowd inundated the square again,
and dancing recommended with renewed aTdor.
a. telegraphic despatch announces that the
wedding was duly accomplished On the 10th inst.
Ii is now, therefore, what, in diplomatic jargon,
is called un fat dccompti. This is grave fact,
considering that the British Government has not
only demonstrated, but protested against it. The
circumstances were addressed both to the French
and Spanish Governments; the protest to the lat
ter exclusively. A copy of the protest was, how
ever, left with M GuiZot The Journal DIES De-
bats, speaking, no doubt, in the name of the Co
vernment, expresses confident belief that :" the
communications of Great Britain are not OF ma
tue to alter permanently the relations between
the two countries, to the maintenance Of which
the French Government attaches the highest
price" People, however, are not quite SO san
guine as the Dfbdfs, and on the Bourse, veri-
table panic prevails, every day bringing lower
the funds and railway shares That England
is injured by the marriage is probable; that she
is offended IS certain. Now in this part of the
world, England has the reputation of not allow
ing herself to be injured with impunlty, and even
tor simple offence ii is believed that she ge-
morally finds means 10 take ample vengeance
The newspapers, therefore, say that France will
be obliged to make great sacrifices to appease
England, for she cannotdo without the English ali-
ancethat alliance being the base OF the policy of
her goversment-the anchor which has enabled
her vessel to ride the storms and brave the tenn
pests of sixteen long years. Events will prove
whether this prediction will, or will not, be real
ised Realised or not, il is certain that for some
time TO come the entente cordiaie must be consi-
dered as existing no more; and until 1t be re-es-
tablished the relations OF the two governments
will be OF such very delicate nature, that CIR
cumstances of no great intrinsic importance may
be able to light up war
To supply the blank left by the rupture of the
entente c0rdiaie, the French government is paying
most diligent court to Russia and Austria. In its
impetuous zeal TO oblge the former, it has caused
TO be put into operation the new treaty OF COM
merce before submitting 1t to the Chambers,
which is n scandalous violation OF the constitu-
tion and fer which it will be forced to demand a
ball of indemnify. TO obtain the good will OF the
latter, it calculates the encouragement II threw
upon the Poles on the occasion OF the late out
break, and on its determination to follow, in re-
ference 10 the revolution in Switzerland, the poll
cy most agreeable to Prince Metternich, even if,
IN SO doing, it sacrifices in some degree its own
real interests But, Notwithstanding all its con-
cessions and batteries, nobody, who knows any
thing of European politics, believes that a real
hearty cordial understanding and alliance is pos
sble between France and AUSTRIA or Russia.
The Duo de Montpensier, il appears, will short
Iy return to Paris with his bride. Whatever may
be the political consequences OF his wedding, his
royal highness has got young and beautiful
wife, with nice little fortune IN money, jewels,
and land Of 35 900 900 francs, 81 600 ster
ling. AS regards HIM personally, 1t is a pity that
his wedding has not found more favor IN the eyes
OF Spanards, for he is fine, frank, good-hearted
young fellow.
Whatever may be the opinion of your Ameri.
readers with respect to free trade, certain
that they have reason to pray for its adoption IN
this country for it is believed that the abolition OF
the duty or the importation OF American cotton,
whichat present produces between IL. 100000 and
- 100000 francs, would cause vast increase in
the consumption.
Some little surprise has been caused by the sud-
den return of the Prince de Joinvile's squadron

A letter from Constantnople, published in one
of the newspapers, states that the American mis-
sionaries have had great success IN converting the
people They have already effected 5000 cenver-
sions, 5000 being of Armenians, and the rest OF
Turks, Jews and Greeks. Another letter says
that the Americans have no success ut all, and
very unpopular.

An American tradesman named Homer, car
rying on business in this city, having failed, his
creditors made attempt to deprive him of the
benefit of the bankrupt laws, on the ground OF |

severely than natives, the Court IN this instance
decided in favor OF M. Homer
Bread has become dear, and is likely to adj
vance still further in price. Vegetables also are
ner in which the winter will be got through by
the poor and working classes. In Paris there
has been some rioting of a somewhat alarming
character, occasioned by the DEAFNESS OF bread.
The people of the Faubourg st. Antoine (the
g amable faubourg') showed that they had not
forgotten their ancient skill in riotng, for they
barricaded the streets, and gave the soldiers and

The new treaty of commerce with Russia has
afforded general satisfaction, though, IN TACT, II
does little more than remove the extraordinary
restrictions upon French commerce, imposed by
the Russian Government some months ago, IN
revenge for fancied injury done by an amend
ment In the French tariff
A recent letter from China says that the COM
petition between the Americans and the British
is great, that the former are selling their cot
tons at dead loss in the hope OF driving the lat
ter of the market but il is said there is little
chance of that, the British have the advantage
of drawing their cotton from India, the nearest
market.
