• s r— ebttintotiarlo anti rdittobap,o vooto. LONDON, Nov. 30. TBE Paris Journals received this morning repre- iL sent the existence of general wide-spread distress anions the working classes and small shopkeepers of that metropolis. The French Government, by up- holding systems of monopolies, foolishly intended to benefit this and that class of producers, is fast reducing the biiik of the working classes to a state of the most deplorable destitution. It would appear that the French Government is anxious to prove the sincerity of its pacific professions. Along the whole of the coast of the Channel and the Atlantic tlfe preparations for defence ordered under the Administration of M. Thiers were not only discontinued, but the guns placed in bat- tery were in progress of removal to the arsenals whence they had been taken. —The most important fact in Sa turday's Journals is the departure of ,1. de Salvandy (the nrn 1 v-appointed Minister ot France to the Court of Madrid), which was positively to take place on Sun- day morning. This event," says a private letter, resuits from the near approach to a perfect arrange- ment of the differences between France and Spain. I have reason 10 know that the intercourse of M. Olozaga with NI. Giilzot his assumed a very friendly character -NI. Sancho, the new Ambassador of Spain to England, left Paris for London on Thursday evening. M. Sancho is provided with full powers and means, by his Govern- ment, to settle and pav the claims of the British Auxi- liary Legion. —The Commerce Beige asserts that the project of marriage between the eldest son of Don Carlos and Queen Isabella has received the approba- tion of Don Carlos, and that the negociations have ,;ocl been carried on by a special Envoy from the Court of Naples. This project," it adds, has been sub- mitted to the English Cabinet by the Neapolitan Am- bassador at London, and has been supported by the Duke of Wellington. Lord Aberdeen, with the una- nimous consent of the British Cabinet, has addressed instructions to the British resident Minister at Madrid, and has also addressed a private letter to the Duke de la Vittoria, urging him to come at once to a deci- sion conformable to the intentions which have directed these negoeiations. Great Britain undertakieg to obtain the adhesion of all the other Great Powers We put no credit in the statement —As might be expected, the Syrian Correspondents of the French Journals attri- bute all (he disturbances in that devoted country to British machinations. The Madrid Journals received are of the 21st. inst- On the 26th the return of the Kegent to the capital was expected. The decree for the convocation of the Cortes on t,ke 26th of December appeared in the Madrid Gazette. The capital was tranquil, and the Funds im- proving. All accounts seem to anticipate the return t of order in that ill-fated country, which at least seems to breathe awhile from recent disturbances. El Cor- responsal of the 19th states that the anniversary of the birth of Qiieen Isabella II. was celebnted with the greatest enthusiasm. The different bands of music belonging to the regiments of the Garrison and the National Guard assembled under the balcony of the Palace, .and played different National airs. Salvos of artillery were fired, and preparations were made for a genera! ill ui-,iinatiot).-S pain had established the new Custom house regulations at Irun on the 21st instant. The intelligence greatly irritated the French inhabitants y Ion the frontier, who expected that smuggling would continue till the 1st of December. No persons have less right to complain of Spanish Custom-house re- strictions than the French inhabitants of the towns on the Spanish frontier. The unnecessary and most vexatious rigour of the French Custom-house officers at Behobia and Socoa has been long proverbial, and any individual, Spanish, English, or French, who has passed the frontier, will notforget the severe and odious scrutiny to which not only his baggage, but even his person, has been always submitted. Advices from Lisbon to the 22d inst. arrived yes- lerctav. The Cortes were prorouged by the Queen in person on the 18th. Arrangements were in progress on the part of the Finance Minister for realising the funds necessary for the payment of the foreign divi- deud now nc irly due. The birth of a Prince of Wales bad caused ureat joy among the English residents at Lisbon Lord Howard de Walden was about to give a srrand diplomatic dinner on the occasion, and all the vessels "f war in the Tagus had been dressed out, and fired royal salutes in honour of the birth of an heir apparent 0 the British Throne. The A, Gazette of the 23d inst., under date Vienna, states that the proposed reduction in the army was proceeding with activity. A number of artillery horses had been sold, and leave of absence given on a larl-e scale to the infantry and cavalry. The packet-ship Patrick Henry, Captain Delano, arrived yesterday at Liverpool. She sailed from New York on the 9th inst., and has thns made the passage in nineteen days. The commercial news by this ar- al presents no t1.ØtV foatnro Scott, Commander-in-Chief of the United States army, is a candidate for the Presidency. For our part we should gladly see General Scott President of the United States. His conduct during the rebellion in Canada was upright and impartial, and no effort of his was wanting to maintain the most friendly relalions between England and the United States. The Sym- pathisers met with neither sympathy nor encouragement at his hands. He is also well acquainted with the merits of the Boundary question, and remarkably well disposed to .)romole its speedy and pacific adjustment. In private life we have always heard General Winfield Scott spoken of as an intelligent, amiable, good man whom no traveller encountered without increased lespect for the American character. The world knows hiiu to be a chivalrous, high-minded soldier, and fame, even in Europe, proclaims him a patriot, a gentleman, and a Christian, in the true and exalted sense of that inuch-abused word -The Great Western steam-ship, which left Bristol on the 23d ult., arrived at New York on the niyht of the 8th inst., after a passage of fifteen (Javs.—The iloyal Mail steamer, the Britannia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 21st ult., arrived at Boston on the 7th inst., after a run of fifteen dws-His Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville was in Buffalo on the, 29th ult.
