Inc Paris correspondent of the London Times,
writing on the 30th of March, saws The state of
the relations between the French and Swiss govern
ments Is beginning to be viewed with some uneasi-
ness in Paris. The fatality that was near bringing
about arupture with England seems to be present on
this occasion. From Berne, the following dispatch
of this days date has been received:-The French
Minister has again insisted that the federal
ment shall establish consuls at Chaudefonds and
Basle on the grounds that those consulates are in
dispensabe for facilitating the rise of passports for
French subjects well for foreigners in Swtzer-
land.
1t is stated that owing to the state of the finance
the Committee on the Budget has earnestly recon-
mended to the government further reductions in
the army, and especially in the Imperial Guard
be carried out.
The Municipality of Paris was about to commence
series of public works which will cost nearly one
hundred and sixty millions of francs. OF this the
government is to contribute sixty millions
The Paris Patrie urges that opposition must be
made to the usurpaton of Perrin by England un-
less Europe be willing to abandon the exclusive
navigation of the Red Sea to England; and unless
| the integrity of Turkey be mere fiction, it is
indispensable without delay to treat the occupation
OF Perm as amongst the most important of existing
! political questions

LITICAL REGENERATION.
private letter from Madrid, of the 25th March,
| states follows
The interest excited by the question put by the
| Deputy Mazo about the brother of the Nun Patro-
cinio has thrown into the shade another incident
which occurred in the Senate, and which merits at
! tenton.
| NJ. Vasquez Queipo demanded that the budget of
the Island of Cuba should be presented and exam
ined by the Senate Hitherto the Minister for For
eign Affairs, who is charged with the government
| of the Spanish colonies has governed without any
| control The Senator wished that this absolute
authority of the Minister should be put an end to-
With respect to it he made some disclosures rela-
tive to the government of the Island of Cuba which
is the richest of the Spanish colonies. NJ. Vasuuez
Queipo said that after having increased the expenses
in the Peninsula 40 per cent. during the last four
years. in order to provide for the deficiency caused
by the changes which are so frequent in the Island
of Cuba where every thing is quiet 54 900 900 had
been borrowed from the budget since Gen. Concha
| had commanded there.
In 1853 and 1854 it was II 900 900 dollars in 1857
and 1858 it is 900 900 dollars and that when the
Island of Cuba is no longer meHaced, as 1t in
1853 By the fuibsers and with that increased securi-
ty in the interior is more in danger now that an
enormous is expended for the police At the
Havana alone the police of the town COSTS he said,
more than 600 900 reals, whilst under Gen. Tacons
administration not more than 240 900 reals were ex-
pended The other expenses have increased in sim
liar proportion. But the most serious fact denounced
| by the Senator was that the government is exer-
| cised almost independently of the mother country
| by the Governor General of the island. Special
ministries have been created, of which the persons
| employed act much like those of the mother coun-
| try. They affect the forms and adopt the style of
| the Queens government. The signature alone
differs. 1t is the Queens in Spain; in Cuba it is
the Governor Generals. In point of fact, species
of royalty is established in Cuba absolute than
| that in the mother country, where at least the
| Chambers exist and with the increase in the num-
| Der of its servants the government has become
worse. The duties levied in the year 1852 were on
an average Sl2 the ton; they amount now but to
To this exposure of the administration of the is
land of Cuba, which proves the inconvenience of an
absolute irresponsible administration, the Presi-
dent of the Council briefly replied that it would be
dangerous TO discuss the budget of Cuba-that it
would be dangerous to call in question the capacity
of the Governor General which is equivalent to say
ing that he is nfalible; and that consequently he
| the President of the Council, was of opinion that
the Cuban budget would not be discussed. The is
land of Cuba has no right to murmur, for the same
course is pursued with respect to Spain.
THE REPORTED ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN
| THE SPANISH COLONIES.
Translated from the Journal des Debats Of March 81 for
| the NeW York Herald
| The Nord has received dispatch from Madrid,
on March %, announcing that the Spanish govern
has presented to the Cortes law for the abo-
tion of slavery in her colonies. Should this meas
be adopted it is probable that the prosperity of
Cuba would suffer from it for a certain time, but
the colony would be less exposed to the flibuster-
ism of the Southern States of America, which de-
sire eagerly the annexation of another Slave State
and would be less tempted by the conquest of free
State On the other side, it may be that the
fear to see their slaves emancpaed may lessen the
reluctance of the Cuban planters for annexation ia
