by Abd-el Kader, Of sending him to Alexandria
or Syria. What will be done in the dilemma
private letter answers the question by saying
that, under easlly-rased pretexts, Abd-elKader
will be detained in France, while active agents
are set at work to excite the fears or jealousies
OF Mehemet Ali, and of the Sultan himself. If
Abd-sl-Kader be refused an asylum at Alexan-
dria, or in Syria, then it will be no fault of his
captors il they find it impossible to keep their
word. The most recent intelligence from Paris
informs US that the French government had bro.
ken faith with Abd-el-Kader. 1t had announced
to him that it cannot consent to his going to st:
Jean d'Acre on any terms, and that, with regard
to Egypt, 1t must first see whether the Pacha
will agree to receive him. On the news of the
Emlr's capture, small rise took place on the
BOurse.
The debates on the address in answer to the
speech from the throne commenced on the 10th
inst. The speeches delivered on the occasion
are rather interesting. Count d. Alton Shee
made furious onslaught on the Guzot Cabinet,
stigmatlzlng the foreign policy of the govern
ment with respect to Switzerland. He was par
ticulary caustic towards Lord PdlmersoD,
against whom he charged ga perseverlng ha-
tired towards the French government" In this
part OF his speech he Is said to have been met
tectlve, but, when he proceeded TO point GU!
the policy of M. Guizot's policy, he obtained
greater attention. The speech of M. Mosnard,
who, though conservative, aud a general sup
portcr of the present cabinet, came out on this
occasion as an advocate, but an unwilling one,
for reform, excited much surprise: His Grafton
is calculated to enbarrass the ministry.
The Chamber of Deputies assembled on the
Sd inst, when the Minister OF Finance presented
the budget for lS49, from which it appeared that
the ordinary expenses OF lS49 will be balanced
by the receipts. Two bills were also presented,
one for. the. diminution of the duty on salt, to
take effect in the beginning OF 1850, and the
other for reducing the postage on letters and
journals. The extraordinary budget for lS49 is
fixed at 93,27O, 000f., of which the railways fl
cure for 59,300,O00.

The advices from several parts of this country

arrived from France. Demonstrations in favor
of the Pope are still taking place. An agree
ment has been entered into between the Roman,
Tuscan, and Sandman governments to proceed
concidentaly in their reforms. The affairs of
Swiss troops have refused to fight against the
people, which has gained for them considerable
popularity and it is said the Duke OF Sierra
Caprcola had refused 10 accept the Office OF
Viceroy of Sicily, except on conditio of being
allowed to make concessions, which 1t Is sup

fore the Christmas holidays; but this order
was subsequently, revoked. Pamphlets, songs,
&c., of an Incendlary character, lind their way
to Sicily, notwithstanding the utmost vigilance
of the government. From Lombardy, we learn
that NJ. Nazarl, a member OF the central congre-
grafton of Milan, had proposed motion in the
congregation for enquiring into the state of the
country, aud the causes OF its discomfort. The
motion was adopted with enthusiasm, submitted
to and approved OF by the Viceroy, and a COM
mittee appointed for the purpose. M. Nazari had
upwards Of 1000 visiting cards lett at his resi-
dence shortly after, as mark of respect. Let
tiers from Milan of the Sd state that considerable
agitation pervaded that city on the previous day.
1t appears that, following the example of the
Americans, VINO refused to purchase the tea sold
by the English, previous to the revolution, the
patriots of Lombardy had resolved to abstain
from smoking, in order to reduce the revenue of
the treasury. The resolution was acted upon by
the greater portion OF the people, and those
found smoking cigars or pipes in the streets were
severely handled. The Milan Gazette OF the 10Th
ult., announces the evacuation OF Ferrara by the
Austrian troops. They were to retain the two
barracks they had at all times possessed in the
city, and to perform duty only in the citadel -

a treaty for the purchase of large quantity of

following reforms:-DimlnutIon in price of salt;
amnesty general deiberative voice granted the
council OF state voluntary CIVIC guard, armed
by government; seven ministers In place OF five;
suppression of Sandman government, or its
identification with that OF terra firma great de-
mocratical reforms IN the municipalities, and
abolition OF the decurion, whom no one itherto
had ventured to modify. The hostile feeling
already existing IN Italy, and more especially in
Parma and Modena, towards the Austrians,
seems to be undlminished, and has received
fresh impetus by their presence at Modena and
Reggie. So intense is the feeling that it is pro-
posed to form body of volunteers as an army
of observation on the frontiers of Modena and
Parma. All hopes entertained of a reforming
policy being adopted by the new sovereign OF
the duchy of Parma are AT an end, the duke hav-
