de-camp was mortally wounded. The object of this 
attempt was to excite a counter-revolution by the death of 
Narvaez, and thus prevent the declaration of the Queen’s 
majority.—From Italy, the accounts received through the 
French and German papers are extremely contradictory. 
It appears that no political disturbance of any moment has 
taken place during the past month, and that the official 
inquiry into the late events is stillin progress, preparatory 
to the appointment of a Military Commission. It is said 
also that the Catholic Powers are about to hold a Con- 
ference at Rome, to consult on the best modes of remedy- 
ing the evils with which the Papal States are now afflicted. 
—From the United States we learn that the Texan and 
Oregon questions are assuming additional importance, and 
that their discussion will produce a stormy session in 
December. In Canada, the removal of the seat of 
Government still excites great animosity on the part of 
the British colonists. Advices from Mexico had reached 
New York, from which we learn that no reconciliation had 
been effected between the President Santa Anna and the 
British Minister. i

Manor, and the Queen Dowager at Witley.—The Duchess 
of Gl ter has been indisposed, and is attended by 
Sir H. Halford.—A report has been current this week, 
that the health of the Prince of Wales requires a removal 
to Brighton, for the benefit of the sea air ; but the state- 
ment has been contradicted on authority by the Ministe- 
rial papers, which announce the gratifymg fact that His 
Royal Highness is in the enjoyment of perfect health. 
The visitors to Her Majesty this week have been the 
Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Aberdeen and Dela- 
warr, the French Ambassador, and the Countess de St. 
Aulaire, Sir R. Peel, the Dukes of Sutherland and Devon- 
shire, Major-Gen. Sir George Scovell, and Admiral Casy,

private chapel of Alton Towers. Monday, the 6th, being 
the anniversary of the death of Charles X., a mass of 
requiem and a dirge were celebrated, at the request of his 
Royal Highness, by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman. On 
Tuesday the Prince, accompanied by the Countess of 
Shrewsbury, and a number of the distinguished guests, 
drove to Chatsworth, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire. 
His Royal Highness expressed great admiration of the 
sculpture gallery, the conservatory, end other splendid 
objects for which Chatsworth is so celebrated. On Wed- 
nesday morning his Royal Highness, at the request of the 
Earl of Shrewsbury, attended by the whole of the guests, 
and a concourse of respectable persons, planted five young 
Oaks on different parts of the lawn in front of the mansion ; 
at the planting of each a cannon was fired from the terrace 
battery, over which floats the ancient banner of the House 
of Talbot. After this ceremony his Royal Highness drove 
to Cheadle to see the catholic church now erecting 
by the Earl of Shrewsbury, and afterwards visited Trent- 
ham, the seat of the Duke of Sutherland, On Thursday

manufactures, drove to the Potteries, accompanied by the 
Countess of Shrewsbury and a large“party, and inspected 
the establishment of Messrs. Minton and Co. On Friday 
his Royal Highness went to Manchester to visit some of 
the principal manufactories in that district. His Royal 
Highness and suite dined and slept at Sir T. De Trafford’s 
of Trafford Park, and on Saturday returned to Alton 
Towers. The village of Farley, near Alton, through which 
the Prince had to pass on his return from Manchester, 
was illumi d by the inhabitants, and every honour was 
shown to his Royal Highness at the different stages 
of his route. On Sunday his Royal Highness attended 
divine service in the chapel of the mansion, where high 
mass was celebrated by the Reverend Doctor Winter. 
At the conclusion of dinner in the evening Lord 
Shrewsbury in a short speech in French gave the health 
of his illustrious guest, the band playing ‘‘ Vive Henri 
Quatre.’ His Royal Highness then rose, and in most 
feeling terms thanked the Earl and Countess for the 
splendid manner jin which they had received him, and for 
the magnificent hospitality with which they continued to 
entertain him, assuring them that their kindness would 
never fbe erased from his memory: he concluded by 
drinking their healths, the band playing ‘‘ God save the 
Queen.’’? When the Earl of Shrewsbury was about to 
rise to propose his health, the Countess, turning to his 
Royal Highness, said ‘‘ Nous allons boire a la santé de 
Monseigneur avec du vin de Bordeaus ; to which he im- 
mediately replied, in the most touching and naive manner, 
«Bt moi, milady, je boirai aux yétres avec du vin de Con- 
stance.’’ On Monday his Royal Highness left Alton 
Towers for Sheffield, where he visited the manufactories 
of that town, and proceeded from thence to Leeds and 
the other great manufacturing districts of the North, on 
his way to Burton Constable, the seat of Sir Clifford Con- 
stable, where he arrived yesterday. From Burton Con- 
stable his Royal Highness proceeds to Hornby Castle, 
the seat of the Duke of Leeds, and from thence on a 
visit to the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle.

Francr.—The Council of State has decided that in the 
letter of the Bishop of Chalons, respecting the system © 
education in the Universities, there was ‘‘ abuse,” within 
the meaning of the law, and a royal ordinance appears in 
the Moniteur of Thursday, declaring the judgment of the 
Council of State in that respect. The ordinance declares 
the following to have been the grounds of this judgment: 
—‘* 1, That the Bishop of Chalons, acting in that cap@- 
city, had thought proper to make allegations injurious to 
the University of France and the members of the educa- 
tional body.—2. That the said bishop threatens, event- 
ually, to refuse the holy sacraments to children educated 
at the establishments connected with and under the con- 
trol of the University.—3. That these facts constitute 10 
themselves an injury and an attack upon the honour © 
the University and the whole body of instructors, and ar@ 
of a nature unnecessarily to alarm the consciences of the 
children brought up in the establishments, and their fam) 
lies.’ Itis therenpon found that these facts come within 
the meaning of the law, as respects cases of abuse ; and 
his Majesty, with the advice of his Council of State, finds 
that there is “abuse” in the declarations issued by thé 
bishop. The Minister of Justice and Public Worship 3s 
then ordered to put the ordinance into execution. It will 
be observed that no mode of punishment is pointed out 19 
this ordinance, and it is understood, in fact, that no 
further step is to be taken in the matter. A judgment 
thus given by the Council of State, and published to all 
Europe in a state document from the Sovereign, is © 
itself no small punishment, and is feltas a severe censurer 
not only on the Bishop of Chalons, but on all those mem 
bers of the clerical body who used such threats to obtain 
an extension of their power. Another bishop has come 
forward as a champion for the cause of the clergy agains 
the University. The Bishop of Perpignan has addressed 
a letter on the question of education, and, in imitation © 
his brethren of Lyons, Chalons, and Langres, has choset 
to publish it in the newspapers. The bishop, withov 
abating any of the pretensions put forth by his brother 
bishops, expresses himself with so much mildness 2 
absence of asperity, that he has in a great measure dis- 
armed his opponents, They still hope that the declaratios
