" France.— A telegraphic despatch from the Governor- 

 General of Algeria reached Paris on Sunday, announc- 

 ing the renewal of hostilities with the troops of Mo- 

 rocco. The despatch is dated from Lalla Magrina, June 

 16, and is to the following effect :— " Yesterday, during 

 m conference with the commander of the Morocco army, 

 his troops, to the number of 5000 cavalry, fired upon 

 ours, and wounded au officer and two soldiers, without 

 our returning the fire. The conference was broken up, 

 and Generals Lamoriciere and Bedeau were attacked by 

 the troops of the Emperor of Morocco. I arrived, and 

 assumed the defensive, and killed of the enemy from 300 

 to 400, who remained on the field. I captured some 

 horses, and from 300 to 400 stand of arms. Never was 

 any chastisement better merited. We had 6 killed and 

 20 wounded." This despatch is conspicuously noticed 

 by all the Journals. Several of the Opposition prints 

 comment upon it, and consider it a very important com- 

 munication, accusing the French Ministry of having 

 concealed the real state of the quarrel with Morocco, and 

 of having again temporised, out of deference to the coun- 

 sels of the English Government, to the detriment of the 

 honour and interests of France. The Commerce calls 

 upon the Cabinet to put an end to its tergiversation, 

 when a war with Morocco has become inevitable, and 

 prompt and decisive action can alone shelter the French 

 possessions in Africa from the perils that threaten them. 

 The National is more violent still. After deriding the 

 professed security of Marshal Soult and M. Guizot, and 

 indignantly telling them that they have been wanting in 

 energy and promptitude, it calls upon the Chambers not 

 to remain silent amidst these events, but to understand 

 that war is upon their territory, while M. Guizot is ask- 

 ing the advice of Lord Cowley. The Prince de Join- 

 ville sailed from Toulon on the 23d, in .the line- 

 ' of-battle ship Le Suffren, in which he has hoisted 

 his flasr. His Royal Highness proceeded, not to 



Bordeaux.- r ~ . 



and the bar is by no means arranged. The Judges met 

 on Wednesday to consult as to what was to be done with 

 regard to the letter addressed by the Council of the 

 Order of Advocates to the President, and after five hours' 

 deliberation decided that the 21 members of the Council 

 of Discipline who signed the letter should be summoned 

 to appear before the Court on the 1st of July. The 

 affair excites great interest among professionals and poli- 

 ticians in Paris.— The Paris papers state that among the 

 objects deposited at the bank of M. Caccia, whose failure 

 was declared at Paris last month, was a box containing 

 Lord Byron's manuscripts. This box, belonging to the 

 Countess Guiccioli, to whom the poet bequeathed his 

 most precious souvenirs, was withdrawn last week from 

 the office of the bankruptcy syndic and delivered to 

 M. Micard, the Countess's agent. Besides the manu- 

 scripts of all the published works, the box contains some 

 unpublished poetical pieces, and critical notes written 

 by Lord Byron himself upon his own work. 



Spain. — We have accounts from Madrid to the 19th 

 inst. The recent conversations in the British Parlia- 

 ment on the subject of the communication addressed by 

 Don Carlos to the English Government, and transmitted 

 by Lord Aberdeen to the Spanish Ministry, is the sub- 

 ject of comment in several of the Madrid papers. The 

 Ministerial papers are unanimous in disapproving of the 

 marriage of the Prince of Asturias with Queen Isabella. 

 The Minister of Finance and the state creditors had 

 come to an understanding respecting the price at which 

 the new Three per Cent. Stock should be issued. The 

 latter it appears had consented to accept it at 35, and 

 agreed to deliver up the bills, coupons, and other securi- 

 ties which they had received as guarantees from the 



Government A Barcelona paper says that the Count de 



Trapani, the brother of the King of Naples, is daily ex- 

 pected at Barcelona, and thit il ii believed the marriage 

 question is at length decided in his favour. The Queen's 

 health however seems to be in a very unsatisfactory 

 state, and her illness is said to be of a nature which 

 gives no hope of amendment. It was rumoured at Bar- 

 celona that a new citadel was about to be erected on the 

 ground lying between Sarria and Gracia, so as com- 

 pletely to hem in the city by a circle of forts. 



Portugal.— We have advices from Lisbon to the 



The dispute between the President Seguier I high treason in belonging to the party of •« You

was depressed beyond all previous experience within 



the coast of Morocco, but to Oran. Two ships of his living memory. So frightful was this depression, that

squadron took their departure on the preceding day, and 

 the other ships that are to be under his command will 

 join his Royal Highness without delay. His squadron 

 will be composed of 3 ships of the line, the Belle Poule, 

 60-gun frigate, and 3 steamers. — The late debate in the 

 House of Commons on the Sugar Duties, has excited 

 great attention in Paris, and the papers concur in con- 

 demning the House for rescinding their votes at the 

 dictation of the Minister. It is curious, however, that 

 while the journals were speculating on these events, a 

 similar occurrence took place in the Chamber of Deputies. 

 In Saturday's sitting, in the discussion on the Paris and 

 Lyons Railway Bill, M. Gaultier de Rumilly moved an 

 amendment that a sum of 62,000,000f. be voted to the 

 formation of a railroad throughout the whole distance 

 between Paris and Lyons ; and supported it by arguing 

 that there were pecuniary advantages to be gained by 

 railroads which belonged properly to the state, and which 

 ought not to be given up to private companies. The 

 Chamber divided upon the question, and after two 

 doubtful attempts a scrutiny was called for, when the 

 amendment was carried by 138 to 137. As this result 

 would affect all railways in France, and be a serious 

 blow to the Ministry, the announcement created an 

 immense sensation in the Chamber, and the sitting was 

 for a considerable time suspended. On Monday the 

 Chamber resumed the adjourned discussion on the Bill, 

 the Cabinet in the mean time having held several coun- 

 cils on the subject. The Minister of Finance observed, 

 with respect to the amendment adopted on Saturday, 

 that it would substitute quite a new system to that laid 

 down in the law, and that the Chamberfcould not think 

 of imposing on the state additional sacrifices to those 

 o already imposed by the Bill of 1842. The Ministers of 

 Public Works and of the Interior spoke nearly to the 

 same effect, and concluded by moving that the consider- 

 ation of the question whether the Government should, or 

 not, lay down the rails, be postponed until next session. 

 After some further debate the President put th^ adjourn- 

 ment, when, after two trials declared doubtful by the 

 beard, a ballot was opened, which finally gave Ministers 

 a majority of 28 votes. The vote of Saturday was 

 thus rendered a dead letter, and on Tuesday the Chamber 

 -passed the Bill by a majority of 191 to 51, leaving out 

 such parts as were, by the vote of the day before, post- 

 P onedto ^xt session. The Rouen and Nantes Rail-

day morning, « 81X o'clock, the police invaded the man- 

 sion of the Prince de Montmorency, during his absence. 

 The police broke open the locks, and were eight 

 hours in making a minute search, after which they 

 carried away to the Prefecture de Police, in addition to 

 papers, a large number of busts and engravings, repre- 

 senting the elder branch of the Bourbons. On Monday 

 a similar search was made in the house of the Due 

 d'Escars, and it is said that M. de Lespinois has been 

 arrested. The cause of these proceedings is said to be the 

 discovery of an attempt to corrupt the troops at Issy, by 

 distributing among them letters and medals of the Due de 



good wine was unsaleable at 5/. per pipe ; and though 

 the Portuguese Government had attempted by decree a 

 violation of our commercial treaty with regard to their 

 colonial trade, the tariff convention was evidently com- 

 ing. — Lord Howard de Walden, our Minister at Lisbon, 

 has written a letter to the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, 

 on the subject of the recent sentence of death passed on 

 a Portuguese woman at Madeira, for the sole offence of 

 having embraced the Protestant faith. His Lordship 

 states that "The Portuguese government have yet no 

 knowledge whatever of this circumstance. The subject, 

 however, on my bringing it forward unofficially, met 

 with immediate attention ; and I have received from the 

 Minister of Foreign Affairs not only an explanation of 

 the laws telling upon the case (from which it would 

 appear that practically such a sentence is a mere matter 

 of form), but also the positive and direct assurance, for 

 my better satisfaction, that no member of the govern- 

 ment could contemplate for an instant recommending 

 the Queen to confirm such a sentence. Your lordship 

 may be satisfied that the case of the woman has met 

 with attention from their Majesties and the government, 

 and that there is no question whatever either of the ex- 

 treme penalty of the law, or any extraordinary severity 

 being put into force against her." — Our countryman, 

 Mr. Tozer, is still in prison at Lisbon, without any in- 

 dication of an approaching trial, although he has been 

 incarcerated for 67 days. 



Germany. — A letter from Berlin of the 15th inst. 

 states, that there was every probability that the com- 

 mercial treaty concluded between Prussia and the United 



States of America would not be ratified According to 



the last census, the population of Bavaria amounts to 

 4,440,327 inhabitants, G.9,746 of which are military. — 

 A serious riot took place at Ingolstadt, in Bavaria, on 

 the 17th. The labourers in great numbers attacked the 

 brewers, bakers, and butchers, and it was with great dif- 

 ficulty the riot was put down. The Auysburg Gazette 

 says, that from four to five thousand persons were engaged 

 in it. The cause of the disorder was the arrest of a work- 

 men by an agent of police. The workman resisted, and 

 the police agent killed him with his sword. This exas- 

 perated the people, and they immediately attacked the 

 breweries.— A Dresden letter of the 8th inst. states, that 

 the son of Weber, the composer, was on the point of 

 setting out for London, to bring back the mortal remains 

 of his father, deposited in the Catholic chapel, in Moor- 

 fields, the clergy of which have generously offered to 

 pay the whole expense of the transport, while a com- 

 mittee has been formed for receiving the body with 

 all solemnity, and for erecting a monument to the 

 memory of the author of Der F r cy s chut z. —Mr. T. 

 Ralphs, courier to the King of Hanover, while on his 

 voyage in the Caledonia last wetk from London to 

 Hamburgh, with despatches, committed suicide on board 

 the steamer. 



Italy.— The Malta papers of June 12 publish a cita- 

 tion issued by the Tribunal of the Austrian Navy against 

 Barons Attilio and Emilio Bandiera, of Venice, the two 

 sons of Admiral Bandiera. They are called on to appear 

 before the tribunal within the space of three months, to 

 justify themselves from accusations of desertion and 



appearance, they would be condemned by default." Th 

 brothers Bandiera replied, in a letter from Corfu' dated 

 May 19, that they had made their choice betwe'en the 

 cause of their country and that of a foreign power which 

 oppressed it, and gloried in their persecution. 



Greece. — We have received Athens papers of the 

 10th inst., which state that perfect tranquillity rei«u 

 through all parts of Greece. The province of Mains was 

 at one time threatened with some disturbance, which hu 

 been avoided by the good sense and moderation of the 

 chiefs, who have themselves shown a praiseworthy readi- 

 ness to submit to the laws, and to induce their followers 

 to imitate their example. 



Russia. — Letters from Stettin dated the 15th inst 

 state that the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia. 

 the Prince Royal of Prussia, the Dowager Grand Duchess 

 of Mecklenburg Schwerin, and her daughter, had arrived 

 in that town, and that the Emperor and the two Prin- 

 cesses had embarked for Swinemunde, where a steamer 

 was in waiting to convey them to St. Petersburgh. The 

 King and Prince of Russia returned to Berlin. The 

 Emperor's sudden return is said to be caused by the 

 serious illness of the Grand Duchess Alexandra, the wife 

 of Prince Frederick of Hesse. — A letter from St. 

 Petersburgh says, that in consequence of a remonstrance 

 made by the English Government respecting the bad 

 quality of the tar sent from Russia, the Emperor has 

 issued an order to the manufacturers of tar, that they 

 shall be subjected to severe penalties in case the quality 

 of the tar should henceforth be found bad. 



Turkey and Egypt. — We have advices from Con- 

 stantinople of the 7th. The journey of the Sultan had 

 commenced, and continued under the most favourable 

 auspices. His Majesty had successively visited Ismith, 

 Moudania, Brousa, and the Dardanelles, and was, by the 

 last accounts, at Mytelene, which he intended to leave 

 on the 8th to return to Constantinople. The revolt in 

 Albania was considered at an end. Harassed in every 

 direction by the Turkish troops, the rebels were unable 

 to defend Uskup, their stronghold, which was entered 

 by the former without any resistance, and Redschid 

 Pasha was waited upon by the principal leaders of the 

 movement, who surrendered at discretion, merely de- 

 manding a general amnesty in favour of their adherents. 

 It was rumoured that, in consequence of the tranquil- 

 lity now reigning in the provinces, the Turkish Govern- 

 ment has determined to take advantage of the opportu- 

 nity to put an end to the divisions still existing betweea 

 the Druses and the Maronites, and that the admiral 

 of the fleet has received instructions to that effect- 

 Letters from Alexandria of the 6th inst. state that Egypt 

 continued to enjoy perfect tranquillity. Mehemet All 

 was living in a country seat on the banks of the Mah- 

 moudich canal, where he received frequent visits from 

 the European Consuls. Sir H. Hardinge ,was shorty 

 expect and would proceed to India ^ ^he Hindost aI1 

 steamer, which was to reach Suez about the 12tb .ins
