EUROPE.

The two Chambers have been prorogued to the 4th of July. Their deliberations of late have been marked by their usual acrimony and violence, and the division between the two parties seems to be increasing every day. The left side, as they are called, appear to be at no pains to conceal their disaffection to the existing order of things, and they are answered by violent clamours from the Royalists. How far the great body of the people are interested in these contests does not appear.

On the 15th April, a debate took place on the budget, when M. Lafitte, in the course of his speech on the general question, making some allusions to the affairs of Naples, and the revolt of Piedmont, some one exclaimed, "Do you wish to be the eulogist of rebels ?" "When they shall be victorious," cried General Foy, "they will no longer be regarded as rebels." M. Lafitte proceeding, complained that the alleviation of the land-tax proposed by the budget was intended for no other object but to diminish the number of electors, and to deprive the people of their constitutional rights" of those rights which the Charter had given" Gen. Donadieu interrupted him" Say the King has given." Gen. Foy-"The King is comprised in the Charter. What the Charter says, the King says." Gen. Donadieu (striking his hand on the bench before him)" The King and the Char

ter."

General Foy" France and the King." M. de Lalot was heard in reply. He reprobated, with much animation, the attempts to excite dissension by the introduction of irritating topics, and forcibly urged the indispensable necessity of maintaining inviolate the rights and dignity of the Crown. General Foy follow. ed, and, amongst other remarks of the same kind, said, that it was now time to explode the unmeaning and useless words of legitimacy and usurpation.

A report was made in the Chamber of Deputies on the 16th, on the second petition of Mr Loveday. The report adverted with much harshness to several parts of the petition, and expressed an opinion that Mr Loveday had been merely a tool in the hands of designing enemies of the French Monarchy and the Catholic Faith. After considerable debate, the report, which recommended that the petition be rejected, was agreed to.

The incendiary fires in certain depart. ments of France have caused considerable alarm, as the object of their perpetrators was not known. Two individuals impli cated in the late Saumur conspiracy were tried before a court-martial at Tours, on the 18th April. One of them, named Sirejean, was condemned to death, and the other, Condert, sentenced to imprisonment for five years. A new plot has been discovered at Metz, which was instantly disconcerted, and some military officers engaged in it were arrested.

SPAIN. The Spanish papers state that the King seems to shew some predilec tion for the Liberals, and is not on the best terms with his Ministers. Riego is admitted privately to the royal levee; and Count Montejo, a no less decided Liberal, was appointed Colonel of a regiment by the Sovereign, in opposition to his Ministers, who refused to countersign the appointment. In the provinces tranquillity generally prevailed. Two notices of some importance have been given in the Cortes, by a Deputy named Velascothe one for abolishing a system of exter tion practised upon the Spanish peasantry in different parts of the kingdom, under pretence of obtaining means of defraying the expenses of certain festivals in honor of the saints-the other for expurgating what may, we suppose, be called the Spe nish Book of Common Prayer, in some passages in which the Pope is acknow ledged to be liege lord of all the princes of the earth, and authorised, at his good pleasure, to dispense their subjects from their oaths of allegiance to them. NETHERLANDS.-This kingdom, it appears, is suffering as deep agricultural distress as England. In a report to the Second Chamber of the States Ge neral, on the petitions of several landholders, requesting that measures might be adopted for the relief of agriculture. rents are stated to be for the most part unpaid, and the fortunes of the landlord's are endangered, as well as those of the farmers, by warrants of distress, while. in the midst of a ruinous abundance," foreigners are allowed to overwhelm them with their produce. The remedy prop sed is, of course, a stop to this unlimited competition.
