r RENCH LOYALTY.-Charies X., by his frankness and his good natare, seems to have gained great popularity at the commencement of his reign. Thlis popularity appears to be occasioned chiefly by two circumstances.-namely the agreeable disappointment of long anticipated alarms, and the contrast which the abolition of the censorship and some other measurer have created between himself and his presct4t unpopular Ministers. The feelings of the Parisians are generally nmanifested most warmly at. the theatre; anti accordingly we are told that the following verses of Tar. tyfne were, at the last representation, hailed with en thusi- aitiC rapture .- " Nous vivons sous un prince ennerni de tafraude- Un Prince dont les yeux fontJour dans les cceurs Et que ne peut tromper tot t rart deg imnpooetfrs..) MI. Chasseriau, who was sent to Colombia as the Com. missioner of the French Government, has returned to Paris._Con. The ex-Empress of Hayti arrived at Liege on her way from Brussels on the 24th ult., and alighted at the Black Ea i HoteL Shc was accompanied by her two daughters, a lady compa. nion, and Eome servants.

It is noW ascertained that they are mad, and the same ma. Isi vy has shown itself in every animal they have bitten. In several vilfges, p:rticularly at Aremberg, the farmers have been obliged to shoot their cows, the disorder having shown itself anzong them in a terrible manner. In thecDuchy of Nassau, measures nave been tatten to hunt down the foxes, but the inadi ones have not yet reached the left bank of the Rhine. Some apprehension is also entertained that the same disease may be propagated among other wld anitnals, and caution has been recommended In purchasing and eating venison. -French paper. treat preparations are making in Wst.rnorlanI for a re- newal ef the celebrated eontest which took place at the last general election. Both parties have ever since been splitting freeholds and buyng up land-tax, for the purpose of making voters; and each side, as usual, speculates confidently upon the result. Miss PATON.-As manV vague reports are in circulation respecting the narriage of this interesting lady, we take this opportu. nityof satin, ad we vouch for the fact that she was some time ego married to Lord William Lennox. The ceremronial took placne at oxford.-Liverpool Alercur2,71. Miss FOOTE.-The A Tcws oni Suntay ha(d the following, respecting the above-named actress :-"1 It is true that she haI not Gnly been subjected to the insulting treatment stated in the Devi.rst GfezeJUe (w-hich, by the 7y,; is incorrect in some of itc details), buit also that she has been conmpelled to endute sirilar insuilting treat- ment a gecond(t time; and all withlinl the space or a few weels. le are also bound to add. that both these disappoititments hIave been ac. companied by, what at presetit appear, uRnecessaryaffronts. For instance, a day was nanmed tor the wedding, ihe ring was bought, settlenmentst were drawn up and approved, and the expectant briic d ressed and( readv to be conducted to church, when, after waiting for hours, iNstead of'the gentleman, arrives a letter froni hiF-n, im. ploriig the lady to believe nothing she might hear in his disfavour, that he could account for his conduct, and that he would bonourably perform his engagements towards her. His subsequent hehaviour confirmed, in a meamaue, these professions; he was avain received, a se- conddtlay was appointed-a second timie every thing was ready, and a secont time came an excuve insteadof the promised bridegroom.Now, as we do not learn that any concealment took place on the part ef the lady. --or that, to a rman like lir. fIlayne, mixing in the world, any thing remained on her side to be discovered, we must, until *ve hear his statement, expTcrs our surprise at chegentleman's conduct. No- thing can exceed the warmth of the nrofesions contuined in his let- ters to her dluring the whole process of thia aft'alr, down to the hour of the second disappoirntmeit; bitt of these it is probable the public will be enabled to judge. At any rate, it calls for a strong case of detence on the part of a wealthy man, twice to fix the wedditig-day with a poor young womau, and twice to outrage her feelings by dis- appointments. As to tlis f'amily lockinz himn up-that, as fie is of full age,wouild be only' to excuise his heatta h xeieo i head_to m ake himn a fool instead of a k e." at the expetkse of his EvENIXG PARTY AT M.

The Mlinister then stated the progress in usefuil and religious knowledge the three young men had acquired siince their arrival in Etigland. and which it was devoutly to be Wished thley Would make a goad iuse of when, they rettiraed to their tiative counitry. T'he copy of a letter Was read, the original of which lhad been somne time agO transmitted to the, King of Madagascar.
