France.
The Paris journals are daily occupied with dis
cussions on the martial arrangements that have
been concluded in Spain, and seem to watch with
anxiety the articles published on the subject in
the English journals, to ascertain the tendency OF
the feelings of the British government upon that
all.engrossing topic for France and Spain.
According to the latest news received in Paris
by express, the hostility Of the Spanish press to
the Due de Montpensier's marriage appears to
have little subsidized The majority in its favor is
expected to be very large in the Cores.
The PARIS and provincial papers continue to re-
cord fresh incendiary fires. The Chamber Of
Deputies discussed the matter few days ago,
when the Minister of the Interior defended the po
lice from the violent attacks which had been made
upon that body.
Prior to the adjournment of the Chamber of De-
puties the address Of that body, in answer to the
Kings speech, was voted unanimously, in which
they expressed sentiments of unbounded loyalty
towards the French throne, and that such was
the universal feeling of the electors OF France, who
had but recently chosen them as their representa-
tives.
Among the late accounts received we find an
address in the Constituti0Nsel signed in the names
of the two General Opposition Committees sitting
in Paris, by Messrs. Odllon Barrot, Duvergier de
Hauranne, Gustave de Beaumont and Leon de
Maleville, to the electors in the country, urging
upon them the organization OF local committees,

On the application OF the French Cabinet, the
Emperor Nicholas has suspended the regulations

Italy.
Cardinal Gizz has addressed circular, dated
Rome, August "a, to the governors of tae provn-
ces of the Roman states, calling on them to adopt
measures calculated to improve the religious and
temporal condition Of the poorer classes. The do
cument states that the Pope beholds with the ut
most pain the quarrels, thef.s, and other misde-
neanors constantly recurring throughout the Pom
tical States that the chief causes OF this state of
society must be found In the idle life which the
younger portion OF tho population are accustomed
to lead, and in want Of proper instruction TO pre-
pare them for gaining an honest living by their
industry. His Holiness, in consequences, in addi-
ton to his wish to see education and habits of in
dustry generally disseminated throughout his do
minions, proposes founding without delay, an
establishment at Rome fOr the education OF GER
tain number of boys belonging to the working
classes throughout the States, so that they might
be- in the first place, removed from the spot where
they were likely to contract bad habits aud in
the next, might form nucleus OF well-instructed
non commissioned officers, calculated to suffice
for the army required by the State. His Holiness
calls on the governors to apply TO all persons un-
der their jurisdiction, particularly the bishops,
municipal magistrates, and provincial councillors,
for suggestions to forward this scheme, and to in
dicate the best mode OF raising the funds necessa-
ry for carrying it into execution. The circular,
in conclusion, calls on the governors to avoid
more theoretical Recommendations, and to confine
themselves as much as possible to practical mat
ters.
The project submitted to the Pope on the 14th
July last by Prince Cont, in his name, and in
that of the society he represents, Is worthy OF re-
mafk. It il relative to the construction OF rail-
ways in the Roman States, and of the means to
be adopted for procuring the necessary funds with
out having recourse to capitalists According to
his plan the persons interested in the enterprise

ton at the rate of five and a half bajochi day

those five years, shares Of 100 seudi each bearing

In our last publication we announced the deci-
sion of her Majesty the Queen ofSPan respecting
her marriage with her cousin, his koyM high
ness Don Francisco. The Spanish Journals nnce
that time have been nearly filled with articles on
the subject. The decision of her Majesty as re-
CARDS her own marriage has been warmly es-
poused by the Spanish press, but the intention o.
her sister marrying the Due de Montpensier has
been as violently assailed.
Il The approaching marriage OF the DUO de Mont

Some changes have taken place in the Spanish
Cabinet. M lsturitz is to be sent as ambassador
to London, to replace the Duke de Soto Mayor.
The latest accounts from Madrid, state that the
Queen intends TO restore Don Francisco d'Assise
TO the rank of Captain General OF the Army,
which he held under the preceding reign. The
news of her Majesty's marriage was reported to
have given much satisfaction in the provinces.
Portugal.
Our latest advices from this part Of the CONT
nent inform that the north of Portugal is still in
disturbed state, but the capital and Oporto were
tranquil. A royal decree was published in Lis
bon on the 9th ult., announcing various new
financial measures The fact of the existence O
an enormous deficit is stated, and at the same
time it is admitted that the imposition of new
taxes on industry ID impracticable In order to
enable the government 10 keep faith with the ma
tional CREDITOR sum of 2209 contos is necessary.
To raise this, it il proposed to impose new deci-
ma-tax on all salaries paid to servants of the
state, civil and military, for one year. These
salaries are already subject to decima-tax, so
that now they will be subject to an income tax OF
70 per cent. 1t is also proposed to impose an in
come ten of 20 per cent on the interest paid on
the foreign debt and tax oil an additional decima
on the interest of the internal debt, which will be
equivalent to deduction Of 20 per cent on the

civil list The general effect OF these measures
will be to reduce the general expenditure of the
country 20 per cent, by deductng that amount
from all payments made by the treasury. The

abolished. They pressed heavily on the people,
and scarcely paid the expenses Of the collection
