As for France, her day of chivary is over. Yea
terday. in the chamber, General Fabvicr demand
ed that his proposition relative to ADD ell Kader
should be discussed. He was afraid, he said that
the Arab chief would die a captive, and for the
honor OF France ii was necessary that he should he
set at liberty. The word Of France had been
pledged. and it ought not to be forfeited. He de-
manded that his proposition should be brought for

consideration. II the Assembly should resolve on

The new British minister, Lord IIowden, arrived
at Madrid on the 29th ult, and was presented to

of Queen Christana, whilst their organs will
triumphantly announce that the government con
