^iimrisay ta ffioittMi/g Uosts. LONDON, MAY 6. THE Paris papers of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Tliursdnv last have been received since our last. The Moniteur of the former day contains an ordonnance confirming some recent legal appointments; and the official journal also prints the birth-day addresses of the diplomatic and legislative bodies to Louis Philip, as well as the Roval reply to those effusions. The speech of Count Mole in the Chamber of Deputies, in support of the Secret Service Money Bill, is calculated to msyire France with a hope that the King in future will adopt a more conciliatory line of policy. The President of the Council stated that the masses which opposed the Revolutionary Government sustained by the events of 1830 were overcome; and that it only remained to crush the designs of a few desperate but isolated wretches, whose notions were abhorrent to the Principles and feelings of the rest of the community. The Government would take the most effectual mea- sures to destroy these enemies of the personification of order; after which it would be the study and delight of the Cabinet to remove whatever could excite the Patriotic jealousy of the people. He denounced as nonsense the demand of some members of the Chamber, calling upon Ministers to state with what particular past Cabinet they could identify their policy. The past never sufficed for the present. Each epoch was composed of men and circumstances, incapable of exact re-production, so as to admit of identification. Count Jaubert, who followed the President of the Council, protested that the great object of Ministers was to re- gain in office as long as they could. Had they been j influenced by higher views they would not have con- sented to the withdrawal of dIe Appanage Bill. He would make no sacrifice to public opinion. As to the Bill before the Chamber, he would vote for it, or for any demand to protect the person of the King but at the same time be had no confidence in Ministers. M. Montalivet, Ministers of the Interior, defended the conduct of the Government with respect to the Appa- nage Bill. It is quite true that the withdrawal of it Was a sacrifice made to public opinion. A Cabinet whose policy was quite as retricted as that of the existing Administration had withdrawn the Peerage Bill under similar circumstances, and was not in con- sequence charged with betraying weakness. He thought it would be very wrong in any Government to adopt either restrictions or conciliation as its sole and ex- clusive motto. M. de Sade complained that the secret service fund was increased instead of being altogether suppressed, as an unworthy means, which ought only to be adopted under extraordinary circumstances. It I .was not from a numerous and well-paid police, but from good government, that perfect tranquillity was to be expected. He had no confidence in Ministers, and Would oppose the Bill. The flon. Deputy was sue- ceeded in the Tribune by M. Guizot, who made a long speech explaining the causes of his retirement from office, and asserting that his convictions and interests were bound up with the prosperity of the middle classes. As his speech contained no new revelation it was listened to with indifference. Thus remained the question, on Wednesday, the Chamber not having decided upon it before its adjournment. If the Bill be decided upon it before its adjournment. If the Bill be lost the Cabinet must go out —no matter what may be I its system. This event we care not to see accelerated. In the present state of Royal and public feeling, better nien than the present Ministers would not be called upon to succeed them. I Official accounts have been received from the north of Spain to the 30th ult., stating that the force to be assembled at St. Sebastian will amount to thirty thou- sand men, which are to be commanded by General Es- partero in person, aided by General Evans, Gurrea, and Escalara. The operations were to be commenced as soon as the last reinforcements had landed. The line of the Ebro was entirely secured by General Iri- barren's forces. The provisioning and every necessary for the whole army was secured to the end of May, and would be extended within a few days to the end of Jllzle, the Government having provided the Spanish Consul at Bayonne with the necessary funds. Letters from Bayonne of the 29th ult., enclose a Proclamation of Don Carlos, dated the 2oth, from Estella, to his army, in which he tells the soldiers that • in "One month they shall victoriously scale the walls of his capital." Several Navarese battalions, with their officers at their head, have refused to carry the war out of the Biscayan provinces, alleging that they only took t, up arms in defence of their fueros. The latest accounts from Lisbon, which are to the 28th ult., state that the Government and the Court were still much embarrassed by the want of money. Indeed so pressing was the necessity at the palace, that her Majesty was obliged to send a message to the congress threatening to pawn her jewels, certainly most valuable, as every body knows, if they did not send her an im- mediate supply. The answer however was no funds." The Ministers are about to attempt the raising a loan.
