The secounts from Madrid confirm the extraor- dinary success obtained by the goverament in the tlections. None of the chiefs of the progresista patty, and net more than twelve of the opposition deputies, hed been re-elected. One of the Roman journals gives currency to a creport that Lord Palmerston has addressed to the aourt of the Vativan an energetic note, in which he eautions it against adopting violea: measures to- wards Sardinia, and persevering io the system luitherto parsued by the Pope with regard to the goveroment. A Customs’ League, it is stated, bas been ¢on- cluded between Austria and the duchies of Modena and Parma. Tuscany docs not at present form part of the league, but negotiations on the subject are pending. The Minister of Finance at Rome hes published @ notineation of the isave of Treasury Bonds to the ameuat of 6,000,000 of scudi, for the purpose of withdrawing from circulation the greater part of paper currency. The accounts from Schleswig announce that nartial law has been proclaimed in Husum against all pereons coucealing arms or hoidiag communi- cation with the Davish camp. A grand naval review took place at Cherbourg on Saturday, the 7th inet, wa the presence of the ‘President of the French Republic.

The Council-General of Clermont Ferrand has demanded, by a large majority, the revision of the constitution by the preseat Assembly, should it be deemed necessary, The Couneil-General of the Charente Iuférieure has adopted # resolution expressive of regret at the death of Louis Philppe. A funeral service was performed on Saturd the church of St. Dominic of Bordeaux, for Louis Philippe. Accounts from Toulon state that letters received from the province of Coustantine, announce the decline of cholera in thet place. The Jimpartial,of Kouen,mentions that a seaman, who had been sentenced by court-martial to the boulet, attempted to assassinate Admiral Dabour- dieu at Cherbourg. The arm of the assassin was cole as he was about to strike the Admiral in the breast with # poniard. Accounts from Lyons, dated Saturday morning, at 9 o’olock, stute that some disiurbanees too! place on the Ith in the town of Gliouselet, canton of Loriol, and department of the Drome, in conse- quence of some urrests having been made at Mir- mande. The rappel was beaten by the National Guards in the canton, with the object of rescuing the prisoners who were in astody ofthe gendarmes. The National Guard of the neighbouring canton in the Ardeche having manifested a disposition to co- operate for the reseue of the prisoners, General Lepere, who communds the district, sent for orders to General Castelleoe, the superior officer. Gen- eral Custellene instaatiy sent orders to disarm the National Guards of the five cantons, and, more- over, instructed his subordinate to act with rigour in the repression of the riot and the restoration of tranquillity. ‘The trade of Paris is more brisk at this moment than it usually is at this season of the yaar. ‘The Paris manufacturers continue to be fully employed in the execution of orders from Italy, Spain, Rus- sia, and Turkey, &c. If there be any operatives unemployed it erives from their own fault, as the cturers complain of the difficulty of finding suflicient ds. The accounts from the agricui- tural districts are more favorable than those re- ported last week. The northern departments, which suffered most from the late rains, will, ne- vertheless, produce pear an average crop of wheat, although the quality will be inferior, and the coneequent loss to the farmer considerable. Paris is abundantiy supplied with wheat ; the price hus fallen three francs the hectolitre during the woek. The potato disease unfortunately is making farther progress, even in deperuments which had hitherto esceped. Sull the corn markets through- out France show a dowaward tendency, tae fail in prices vaying from 50c. to lif. the hee- tolitre. Letters fiom the southern departments state that the markets were mere abundantly sup- plied with raw clk during the lest week than for some weeks past, acd that a further decline ia price haa taken pince At Aubenas the average price of silk is from 62 to 64 franes the kiiogramme, end at Joyeuse fom 57 to 60 france. Very supe- rior quality, however, is searee, and is eagerly ard after. The wine market at Bercy has well attended this week, and wines of superior quality were in good demand. Great feareare en- tertained that the quality of the present vintage will be very inferior, a d thet ia many districts the grapes will ret. White frost has already been ob- served in the Cote a’Or, which has occasioned In champagne the grapes are so backward that the vintage is not expecied to com- mence before October.

In fact it was, as Monsieur Jullien would it, wn spectacle monstre; to Frenchmen a proud na- tional Wweat--an epoch in the naval history of France. by | invitation of the President, the gentle- men of the British yacht clubs had, for the greater part, assembled in the port with ir bewutifil vee tele, and anchored under the batteries on Wednes- day, ineisding the Kart of Wilton (who saluted with 15 gune the Admiral of the fleet, who complimented aden beens bay asalute vA — The ake of Murlborongh,the Marquess ayogham, the Ear! of Cardigan, the Marquess of Ormond, the Eerl of Mountehories, and other distinguished amateurs had arrived on Tuesday.

The French had only signal flags, with the tri-color at each mast-heed, and also at the peak. Yachts now began to weigh, boats com- menced to ply, steamers, with crowded freighis of all classes, and apparently of all couutiues, steamed out from the harbor, round the fleet and through the yachis, and mulutudes assembled oa the piers, wherts, roofs, and shores. Virst, there ‘was # regatta, commenced at nine o'clock on Saturdey morning. The first race run was open to all gigs, and several of the gigs belonging to the English yacht squadron were entered, und ran for the prize, which, however, was won by the French. boat Maguin, The course was run twice rouad, which isabout a mile and a half ia length. The second race was for pionaces, being boars beh ag- ing to the French fleet, and run also twice round” the same covrse. This was, as well as the formes, stoutly contested, and aflorded much amusement to the immense crowde which had congregated on evely spot ip the towa, oron the fortifications and esplanade, which aflorded a Sood view of the sports, a8 well as to many hundred persons, inelu- ding 8 large portion of the fair sex of Cherbourg and its vieinity. Almost all the towns on the coast within 560 mites of this place, ineluding Dinan, Grenville, and Havre de Graee, contributed much to crowd the town, in which is calculated not lees than thirty thousand ingers were to be found on this occasion. The President and stafl first proceeded to the ar- senal; a royal salute from the betteries welcoming his arrival. Every department of this magnificent establishment, sull incomplete and in its infancy, was visited, aud indusviously inspected; the » the finest work in the world, capable of ing forty sail of the line; the sevea superb building slips, on one of which was a large frigate half finished, the immense range of furnaces, ali of which were ip full work at the time, and the sub- steptial buildings and storehouses, with their in- valuable contents, formed the subject of inquiry, commect, admiration, aud congratulation of the President The Prince was received at the dockyard bi the maritime prefect, who eecompanied him all over the works; but on quitting the establishment, at bal oe twelve, under another salute of the seaward ba tery, the vice admiral commanding the fleet received the president on board the state barge, a very handsome boat, painted white, with scarlet awning and gilt decorations, rowed by 16 oars. The procession of boats then rowed out to- wards the fleg ship, and, on nearing the gnard- ship Bucephole, the first salute was fired from afloat, commenced by this vessel. This was a signel for a deafening roar of urtillery. The yards of each sloop of war had been instantane- ously menned, bet not higher than the topsail yaids, (the English always man therr yards up to royals;) the yachts that had yerds also manned them, and the others maoned their rivging. The most repid firing was mede by the tine of butte thips; every gun was fired, oa both sides, to the number of 10) ened, and with the mort excelleat time. The flag-ahyp Friediend, in particular, fired with snch regularity and celerity, that ber maseive sides appeared in one sheet of lurid flame. The yechts, ulso, thet had gana, fired salutes of 21 gune, and amid the thander of cannon, eud the roaring cheers of the crews, caught up from ship , and tunniag for many miles, from the breakwater to the town bridges, and from the enstern side to the dockyard shores, the President boarded the Friedland. After etoying here for three-quarters of an hour, the Prince proceeded to the breakwater, a mighty and stupendous work (exceeding ia length the breakweter of Plymouth), with a battery of heavy guns in the centre. From the breakwater the Prince visited each line-of battle ship in succession, each ship cheering as he arrived and quitted—a new feature in the French character, and undoubtedly in imitation of the Eoghsh. The Presid’ nt must have minutel inspected every one of the ‘leet, for he did mot quit the veesel, the Minerve, 54 i nearly seven o'clock. Whilst on ible, of 90 gone, the erew were exercised hoisting topsails, topgaliant saile and jib, and dropping courses. They did not, in the estimation of the English, perform thisevolntion go well ag they had been led to expect, sails being furled in three mi- nutes, but no reefs taken in, Whereas the Prince until Regent, 90, would Laat? pages the evolution ia wtem hitherto pursued by the from a minute and a half to two minutes, with two jo the government.” reefs taken in.

The simplest of things, however, when carried out on @ large scale, require often, as in this instance, for the doing of thew, qualities of 8 high order--grent enterprice, great perseverance great executive powers of constraction and divec- tien. |i wasa great thing, assuredty, to uadertake to underlay atca of some thirty miles wide with one continvons live of conmmuaicetion—a siogle break or tlaw in which would be fatul to the whole; there wae a ritk of fuilure to be braved, and tu way event much expenditure of y, time, and trou- ble, to be ndventured on the i; und beyoud all doubt or question, it is a great thing to have suc- ceaefully wecomplished.
