instead of being private affair, q waa Vt Npt
intended, the ceremony will be open 10 the
holders Of season tickets, and Il will consequent
~ take plsoe in the presence Of from $4,000 70
10000 people. No doubt was felt from the
first that the wish Of the Queen would be for .
popular plsn Of this sort, aud that the exclusive
system originally concocted was the small work
Of sell suffcient and timid officials.
According to the published programme, the
queen, the royal family, and their foreign guests,
will arrive at Ia O'Clock. 4God awe the Queen"
will be sung by choir, and Prince Albert and
the royal commissioners will then read to Her
Majesty short report Of their proceedings.
Tn0diplomatic corps will also present congrat-
ulations.
In commercial matters there is nothing new.
The bullion in the hank has continued to dim
inish but it has not been thought necessary TO
raise the rate of discount and an expectation pre-
walls that the tide will soon turn. Our funds,
however, have been heavy and consols, which
at the last date were 97B, has been done to-day
at 965, gradual decline in the price Of French
Rentes at Paris, and distrust Of the enforced
stiffness which prevails all over the continent
having exercised on unfavorable influence.
SPECTATOR.
FRANCE.
It il reported that the French government has
addressed note to the cabinet Of London, re-
quring the expulsion Of Ledru-Ro llin and other
French refugees, whose present facilities of
communication with Paris and the departments
are found exceedingly embarrassing to the French
government, and calculated to add dangerous
complications to the present crisis.
SPAIN.
The insurrection in Portugal caused the live
lest sensation at Madrid. The government lost
no time in assuring the Queen OF Portugal OF
| support. A Spanish army Is concentrating on
the frontiers, and couple Of ships of war are
being fitted out for the Tagus.
The Moderate party in Spain seem divided
II is said that NJ. NJ Mon and Pidal have rallied
to the government, leading Sartorius as the sole
avowed opposition.
A letter dated Vienna, April Is, states that
several embarrassing questions tronble the Porte
fjust now. Supported by the public opinion Of
France and England, the Sultan wishes to sci
the Hungarian refugees at liberty in Asia Minor
while the Austrian government sees in this an
act of hostility. Prince Schwartzenberg init
mates that if this measure should be put in exc
cution, the vacant post of the Austrian ambas-
sador at the Porte will not be filed up-where-
upon the Divan has instructed its ambassador ut
the court of Vienna, if circumstances should re-
| quire, it, to demand his passports.
THE CUBAN IHvs sIoN-The warlike prepare
items at Jacksonville, Florida, for the Cuban in
VISION, of which we had descriptions in letters
to the Newark Advertiser, have proved abortive
as we learn by letter from that correspondent
dated the Sd inst. He then mentions the visit
of the steamer Welaka, and says:
1T is thought by some that there may yet be
descent on Cuba, il there has been no inter-
| ference with the plans on the gulf side. The
emigrants" will bide their tilne but there is nc
probability of this scheme being permanently
abandoned"
| The Savannah Ne,os, of Monday last. says:
aOn Saturday considerable number Of men
supposed to be connected with the Cuban expe.
dition, arrived in this city from the South. This
circumstance, together with other indications
has led to the belief here that the expedition
80 far as the organization on our coast is con
cerned, has been abandoned, at least for the
present. The watchfulness and active interior
ence of our own government, together with the
system of espionags that has been instituted By
the Spanish authorities, it would seem, has frus
trated the plans of the expeditionsts, and pre-
vented concentration and organization of theil
forces, leaving them no alternative but to dis
| band.
ave learn from Florida, that the men who
were at jacksonville are dispensing, and that but
| few are in that neighborhood at present Where
| the men are who came down from the nterio,
of this State to join the expedition, is not known
but it is supposed that they have returned te
their homes"
