Of the French Emperor more estmable than that
strong feeling Of self reliance which induced him TO
proclaim himself pa'vsnus and marry whom no
would.
In return for this visit, the Queen and Prince
Albert il il anticipated, will be here to open the
grand Exposition Universelle.
Az the hour approaches for the assembling OF the
Cortes the tide Of attention sensbly turns towards
Spain. The language OF the Minister OF Marine,
N. SaIszar, and his constituents Of tho Basque
Province, has created vast sensation; and though
the Queen, 10 said declares that she has no more
right to be offended with it than with thousand
other things OF mu Sd graver character which she
has passed over In silence, she u made to say that
she highly disapproves OF thai Standardization Of
Mr. 6alazars expressions. II does read rather easy,
certainly.
"what matters to you? 2" says the Minister, sd-
dressing the Basques respecting their ancient laws
and usages and In ausion to the manifesto OF Count
Montemolin-"w what matter to you what mon
arch reigns over Castillo? or what government
the ilustrious warrior who gave peace to Spain by
signing the treaty of Vergara, may establish?
Remain tranquil, and whatever be the banner, what!
ever the principle which makes an appeal to your
bravery, do not take arms. Respect whatever ema-
mates from the government constituted in Spain,
provided that in its turn 1t respects your ancient
privileges and customs. The Bscay provinces ought
to be completely Indifferent to the dynastic question,
which was settisd in the fields Of vergara never,
for any monarch whatever, should their children
shed o single drop of blood but they should she'd

their veins In any should dare to disregard
the Basque rights and privileges. The day on viii h

The Civil Governor of Madrid has issued decree
requiring all persons residing out Of the capital not
belonging to the national guard or army, to give up
any arms they may be possessed OF directing that
persons not belonging to Madrid, or not having
special permission to resi- lie there, shall be arrested;
and fosbidding inDkeepers to lodge without
passports. A number Of persons Of bal character,
1t seems, had been already seized at Chamberri,
village near Madrid. This arrest, which was ef.
fected by the Civil Governor in person, had created
great sensation, and 1t was said that quantity of
aims had been taken.
The Emperor of the French, owing to the present
price Of grain has forbidden its use for distilation
till further notice. A decree has been signed to
that effect an published in the Monitemr, but the
complaints of disters were both loud and deep at
measure SO fatal to their commercial interests.

and come forth with such an asthmac labor that it
is painful to witness her exertions Her lsdylike
carriage aud graceful person are, however, large

the meantime, all lovers of the dance are looking
out for Rosatis appearance at the Grand Opera.
