From France we learn that the Government/ after 

 several months* deliberation, have determined to effect 

 two-thirds of the loan authorised by the Chambers 

 during the last session. In accordance with this resolu- 

 tion, the Minister of Finance has given notice that he 

 will proceed on the 9th Dec. to the public sale and ad- 

 judication of 200 millions of francs in Three per Cent. 

 Stock in the usual form for competition. It is said 

 that only two-thirds of the sum originally contemplated 

 will be required for Aie exigencies of the State, and this 

 fact, taken in conjunction with the rumour that the 

 reserved price will be high, has created a favourable im- 

 pression of the present prosperity of France. The Due 

 d'Aum.'-le left Paris en the 12th inst. for Naples, where 

 his marriage with the Princess of Salerno will be 

 solemnised on the 16th inst. The treaty between 

 France and Morocco has been ratified by the Emperor ;

doubtful tidings of Abd-el-Kader, who has taken refuge 

 in a portion of the country where the Emperor's juris- 

 diction is little respected. — From Spain we have the 

 details of the Court-Martial on General Prim, which is 

 naturally the chief topic of interest in Madrid. The 

 public have at length been roused from their indifference 

 by the startling doctrine advanced by the Crown Prose- 

 cutor, that mere suspicion, unsupported by absolute proof, 

 was sufficient to warrant the Court-Martial to put the ac- 

 cused to death in cases of high treason. This doctrine, 

 worthy of the times of Judge Jeffreys, had created a deep 

 sensation among all classes ; and the skill of Gen. Prim's 

 advocate, in appealing against the competency of the tri- 

 bunal, had caused an unexpected delay in the proceed- 

 ings, which probably saved him from instant execution. 

 The defence was intrusted to Gen. Schelley, an officer of' 

 Irish extraction, and was so ably conducted, that the 

 Court, though avowedly hostile, were compelled to admit 

 that they had not sufficient evidence, and the trial was 

 consequently adjourned for further inquiry. It had been 

 rumoured in Madrid that the British Government had 

 officially informed the Ministry of the sudden departure 

 of Gen. Espartero from London ; and great precautions 

 had been adopted by the Government to defeat any at- 

 tempt at invasion which might be made by the ex- 

 Regent. It appears, however, that the story has no foun- 

 dation, and that Gen. Espartero is not only now in Lon- 

 don, but has never left it for 24 hours since his first 

 arrival in this country. — The long-continued discussion

Her Majesty's Visit to Buulei . — h'er 

 Majesty and Prince Albert left Buckingham Palace on 

 Tuesday morning for Burleigh, the seat of the Mai 

 Exeter. Her Majesty proceeded to the Eviston-square 

 terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway, and 

 travelled by a special t 1 to the Weedon station. The 

 ro\al suite consisted of Lady Portman, the Hon. Miss 

 Liddell, Col. Arbuthnot, Col. Wilde, Lord Delawarr, 

 and Mr. G. E. Anson. Lord Jersey, who had arrived 

 in town the preceding day from Brigh , pre led to 

 Syston by the 9 o'clock train, from whenc Lordship 



posted to Burleigh, in order to make the necessary pre- 

 parations for the receptiou of Her Majesty. On arriving 

 at the Euston-square terminus, Her Majesty was received 

 by Mr. Glynn, the chairman of the Con ny. and several 

 of the Directors, and immediately took her departure in 

 the state carnage. The fine weather which has hitherto 

 been the constant attendant of the Queen in her 

 progresses unfortunately deserted Her Majesty during 

 the early part of the morning, as the r .in continued 

 to pour in torrents until 11 o'clock, when the 



sun at intervals mule its way through the drizzling 

 mist. The train, which consisted of men I r car- 

 riages, with the engine and tender, left Eu.-ton-square at 

 20 minutes after 9, and proce' led at a n<pid pace to the 

 Tring station, a distance of 312 miles, which was accom- 

 plished in 53 minutes ; but on arriving at this station 

 Col. Arbuthnot requested that the eed might be slack- 

 ened, as it was inexpedient for Her Majesty to arrive at 

 Weedon before i to 12. A delay of 5 minutes occurred 

 at Tring, during which period Her .Majesty was 1 udly 

 cheered by the country people, who had assembled in 

 great numbers to get a glance at the Queen as she passed. 

 From Tring the train proceeded slowly onwards to its 

 destination, and did not arrive at the Leighton station 

 before 21 minutes to 11 ; and at the Wolverton statiun, 

 which is distant •') 2$ miles from London, within a few 

 seconds of 11. Here there was a considerable assem- 

 blage of people from the surrounding neighbourhood, 

 who cheered Her Majesty loudly as the royal carriage 

 was whirled through the crowds which thronged the sides 

 of the railway. The train proceeded, without any further 

 stoppage, through the Roade station, distant 60 miles 

 from London, where it arrived at 18 minutes past 11 ; 

 and finally arrived at Weedon precisely at 20 minutes 

 to 12, where, of course, the concourse was greater 

 than at any other station on the road. On alight- 

 ing from the carriage, the Marquess of Exeter, who 

 had galloped over from Burleigh in the morning, 

 advanced along the platform, and rec ived the Queen, 

 who expressed herself much gratified with the prepara- 

 tions made for her reception. Her Majesty was forth- 

 with conducted to the waiting-room, and while the 

 carriages were preparing, en f erpd into conversation with 

 Sir Henry Dryden, the High Sheriff lor the county, and 

 Colonel Thome, Military Commandant ot this district, 

 and renewed to Mr. Glynn her expressions of gratifi- 

 cation at the arrangements of the railway. Sir Charles 

 nightley, M.P., Mr. Knightley, and several county 

 magistrates were among the gentlemen assembled in the 

 royal apartments to receive Her Majesty. Soon after 12 

 Her Majesty catered her travelling chariot, the troops
