NARVAEZ. He saw, or fancied he saw, that he was made the tool of DE FRIAS, himself little better than an idiot—that the plot whiCh he had taken such extraordinary caution to suppress only existed among some creatures of the Cabmet--and worse than all, that he was made the instrument of working his own downfall whenever it might suit Ministers to dispense with his services. He therefore insisted on being suffered to leave the capital, and the REGENT, justly offended with some of the observations which he dared to address to her, was obliged to sign an order to the effect that the bad state of his health made it necessary for him to revisit his paternal estate. In this order, NARVAEZ was directed to yield the command of his division to the officer next in rank to himself. This is the second time since the commencement of the civil war that NARVAEZ has been dashed from the pinnacle of military power to its very base. His acknowledged bravery and general good fortune cannot get a-head of his impetuosity and bad temper. Without a tithe of his ability, his fearlessness, or his high sense of honour, ESPARTERO still contrives, by his imperturbability alone, to thwart every effort of his more generous rival to deliver Spain from the horrors of civil war.  The days of the DE FRIAS Cabinet are numbered. It is impossible that any Ministry can support itself against the load of popular odium incurred by the imbecile DUKE and his colleagues.  Her Most Faithful Majesty the Queen of PORTUGAL has given birth to a Prince, to the great joy of the Court and people of Lisbon. For an account of this happy event, we refer to advices from Portugal, in The Sun of to-day. Her MAJESTY was doing well on the 4th---the date of the last arrivals.  The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have been received. They bring some interesting news from Africa, which will be found in another column.  The Iberia steamer has arrived at Falmouth, from Gibraltar, bringing the Malta mail, with letters and papers from India to the same dates as those received a fortnight ago, via Marseilles. The contents are consequently uninteresting, as far as political news are concerned.  On the 29th of June a scion of the house of TIMOUR was hanged at Delhi, for having brutally murdered his wife because she refused to give up half her jewels to his paramour. The poor woman was young and beautiful, and eight months gone with child. The wounds made by the ruffian's sword cut her up, and the child fell at her feet I A despatch frGyn the Hon. the Court of Directors had been received it, India, removing the restrictions on the system of purchasing out senior officers of the  army. From Ceylon accounts have been received of the voluntary manumission by a Kandian Ch; of of thirtynine slaves, and the acknowledgment mace of his noble conduct by his Excellency the Governor, who ordered a letter of thanks under the public seal to be issued, and a gold medal to be presented as a memorial of it.  The vacancies in the Ceylon Supreme Court, occasioned by the death of Sir W. ROUGH, had been filled up for the present, as follows :—Mr. JEREMIE to act as Chief Justice, Mr. STODDART as senior Puisne Justice, and Mr. CARR, Queen's Council, as second Puisne Justice.  One portion of the Press in this country must feel DO small gratification at the progress they have made in alienating a vast proportion of the Irish nation from Great Britain, and in weakening the intimate alliance which her Liberal Government formed, and has for years maintained with France. The Autocrat of all the Russias, who waits only for the occasion to weaken the power of England, has nowhere such useful allies as the writers who describe the Irish Catholics as demons and brutes, and their clergy as surpliced ruffians, and who lose no opportunity of insulting the French nation, in language the most coarse, by reminding them of defeats, and contemptuously challenging them again to try a contest with England. Even the gentle Post breaks through all its ordinary rules of politeness in attacking a people with whom we have now been at peace for neatly a quarter of a century. "It has been the fate of the British nation, within the present century to drub the French very exceedingly," exclaims this model for the fashionable world, and then, after similar insulting expressions,
