Papers antl letters from Paris of Saturday evening, communicate intelligence of very considerable importance. The state of Spain, and the conduct of the French Go- vernment respecting that unhappy country, are still the chief points of political interest. The Prime Mlinister of PEXIETRAND, CASA-IRU.JO, whose late accession to the Spanish Cabinet excited hopes which his very brief ad- ministration has not in one instance realized, is stated in Madaid letters of the 15th to be dead. lVhat. was the immedate cause of his death, or how far he had been able to proceed with any of the great labours which his acceptance of cffice at so critical a moment imposed, we are not informed; but if' we can believe reports, resting oi _ _lieveA ** 1 -~~~':, Mze tflat wvas ivise or liberal in his system is not likely to be abandoned O- counter- acted by his successor. HEREDIA, the IMinister of Grace ard Justice, who shared his opinions, is promoted to his vacait post; and M.- CALOMANDA, Secretary of the Council of Castile, is appoilited to succeed AT. HEREDIA. This latter individual wVas like CASA-.IRUUO employed by the Cortes, and is generally considered a man of honest intentions and moderate-views. As he is known to be at- tred to a constituional form of Government, and as Baron IYE&OLES, who has evinced much talent and gained can-iderable reputation in Catalonia, by the sagacity and modernewn of his conduct, has. along with some of the other Minist declared in favour of the same system, hopes are still entertained that some Charter or plan of Constitui- tutionial Government will be proposed and a&optea1, if the present Ministry remain in' office. At any rate, a decree of amnesty, however qualified or restridted, cannot much longer be delaytd. What would seem to favour one or botlh of these projects is the course nowv pur- sued by the French Cabinet, Seeing that the fanatical advisers of FERDINAND were doing nothing towards the pacification of the country, and that the Ambassador of France was rather the agent of-the Ulttas at Paris, than the representative of his own Cabinet, they have recalled TALARU, and appointed a more consistent and active diplo- matist to supply his place. M. de MARCELLUS, who has al- ready executed several missions of considerable importance, andl who resided in London as Clharge d'AfiLires dutr- ing the critical period that intervenedl between the depar- ture of M. (le CHATEAUBRIAND and the arrival of Prinice POLIGNAC, set out for Madrid on Saturday, with what is caUed the French -ultimaftumr on the subject of the amnesty. The terms of this ultimatum were agreed upon in an extia- ordinary council held on the precedling day, and obtained the KiXGo's consent immediately afterwards. lVe shall see in the course of a wee], or two the effect of this new change in the Spanish Cabinet, and this new effort of interferenee on the part of France. In addition to the above facts, private letters state that MI. HYDE DE NEuvrLL.E, the French ultra-Ambassador at Lisbon, is about so give up his mission, for tie purpose of returning to secure his re-election into the Septennial Chaynbzr; and that a part o'tlie French Cabinet are anxious to seii( BLAC&S to enjoy the place at Vienna, which BEL- LU\O so reluctantly accepted, anI las so long delayed to occupy.
