conspiracy , or the distorted account of some more creditable plan , we have as yet no means of certifyin % Iadrid has lost its soldier master General Narvaez : worn out with the ceaseless harassment of his office , he backed the oft-rejected tender of hi « resignation with the announcement ttHtt , unless it were accepted , he would shoot himself , tnd , on obtaintinff his wish , he instantly left Sbain . The conjecture that he did so in the fear Of being sent to the Philippines by his successor , shows the state of the country , where he only is free who has his foot on his b rother ' s Heck . It is probable , however that the rough Kamon fled more in the fear of being " sent for" again .
Bern has been buried at Aleppo with all the honours of a Mussulman-soldier-saint . He died firm in the faith of the Crescent and the Sabre , despising civilian theories of politics , hating Russia .

THE FRENCH MINISTERIAL CRISIS . The debate in the National Assembly , which began on Wednesday week , lasted till Saturday , when Ministers were defeated by a large majority . This unexpected result was owing to the amendment of M . St . Beiive , which , instead of complimenting General Changainier , as M . Lanjuinais proposed , without expressly blaming the Cabinet , threw the general overboard , and distinctly declared a want of confidence in Ministers . M . Thiers spoke at great length on Friday against Ministers . They were in a grave situation , he said , and it was necessary that the truth should be spoken . He charged the Government with disturbing the harmony which had so long
existed . For his own part he had cordially assisted Louis Napoleon in every measure calculated to strengthen his authority until the message of the 3 l 8 t October , which he disliked on account of the pretension it put forward to a sort of omnipo « - potency . The doctrine then broached was that nothing could save France but a strong Government , and the Assembly was represented as the cause © fall disturbive or dangerous agitation . The Socialist elections in Paris , however , opened people ' s eyes , and the President , having consulted him as to what ought to be done , he and his friends recommended the modification of the Electoral Law , which was
soon afterwards carried with the most satisfactory results . M . Thiers , after condemning the Dotation Bill , because it tended to introduce habits to the Elysee not conformable with the simplicity of a liepublican magistracy , proceeded to examine the proces-vcrbaux of the Permanent Committee , and expressed indignation at the cries of " Vive l'Emper ,-ur , " uttered in the plain of Satory . Whether they Were encouraged by the Government or not , it was certain that General Neumayer had been superseded in his command because he prohibited those cries .
General Cnvaignac was one of the speakers on Saturday . He blamed severely in the name of all sincere Republicans , the law of public instruction and the electoral luw of the 31 st of May , those great misdeeds of the majority . The constitution might he revised . But it was not the constitution which invented the national sovereignty , nor could this fundamental principle be destroyed by any party . There could be onlv two parties , for the Monarchy or the
Itepublic . Those who ill-guided the Monarchy pt » ved the way for the Republic . At present the Republic was ill-guided , and it was to be feared that if it continued to be so it would lmve to make way Jor a n storation of the Monarchy . In conclusion , he declared that he adhered to the amendment of M . de St . Beuve , which consisted in a simple vote of want of confidence Hgain . st Ministers , and wan the only one which ought to be adopted by the Republican
party . Ah there were several umendmenta before the chair a violent Htrugglc took place a « to which should be first put to thti vote . That of M . St . Beuvc — "The Assembly declnreH ihut it luin not confidence in the Miimtiy , and passes to the . order ol the day , " was at lust declared to have , the priority , and wiip carried by 417 voles against 278 ; a majority of I'M against Ministers . "It is impossible , ' snys a person who wuk in tho gullerv , " to describe the scene of noise , interruption , laughter , and agitation which the Aapcmbly presented throughout the . latter part of the Hitting . At the ulo-e , the members all ru » hcd to hear the retailt . of the bciutiiiy . The motion of no many feet raised u dust which , presented the appearance of a thick foir .
While the debute was going on tho . President appears to have been determined to show that he felt very much ftt ease whatever the Assembly might choose to deeidn . The ball which he gave at the Ulysee , on Thui ' hdny , if * described as one of the most brilliant given in u . e place . The corre « i > ondent ot the l'imeu , writing on Fiidny , says : — " I am unable to say whether there wan any intention of rn « kiiig a demonstration lust night in fa \ our of the Prtaideiit of the lt < 'i > ul > lio , uft « r what had passed in the Asse mbly , «» r whether it wan from ouriouity , but it in a Jact that never h « n «*<> crowded mi aMui'iiibfage met
together as last night in the saloona of the Ely 6 e " e , which were literally crowded to uffocation . The line of carriages began at the Boulevard and Madeleine on one side , and far down In the Faubonrg St . Honore on the other . The Rue ftoj-ale was actually covered with vehicles , and the utmost efforts of the police and gendarmeri * W « re scarcely sufficient to keep the psSfiaces clear . lftoM vtho reside mnurcely * quarter of an . hour ' s walk from the Ely&e spent an hou * Wore they could get to the door . WitHin , the crowd was so dense , even at the early hotu of nine o ' clock , that all movement was impossible , and the Princess Mathili * , who does th * honours of the President ' s house , wa * Obliged to receive the ladies m the clock
vestibule and the cloak-room . Before eleven o 2800 persons were present , and not less than 5000 m all presented their respects to the President . All that Pans contains of rank and fashion were there . On no such occasion were so many general officers assembled at the Elysee . It was a perfect Babel of language , and on every side you heard English , French , Spanish , Italian , German , Turkish , and Arabic spoken . " The President was dressed in plain , clothes , lie walked about the saloons with his cousin , the Princess Mathilde , and chatted familiarly with all he knew . The Prince and Princess of Capua were present , several of the late and most of the new Ministers . M . Lamartme and Horace Vernet were not the least remarked . Dancing
was kept up to a late hour . , " I have been this moment assured that many of the small traders of Paris—le petit commerce—actually intend to propose a general subscription for the President of the Republic , in the event of his allowance being refused by the Assembly . This subscription would , it is supposed , be national . I know of one woollen manufacturer in Paris who declared the day before yesterday that his name should appear at the head of his 600 workmen , who were ready and eager to subscribe , " After the vote passed by the Assembly there was only one course . left for Ministers . They went at once and tendered their resignation to the President , which , after a day's deliberation , was accepted . They still continued to retain office , however , till the appointment of their successors .
The ministerial crisis had not ceased up till Wednesday , nor did any great progress appear to have been made in the composition of a new Cabinet . M . Odilon Barrot writes to the Dtbats to contradict the report of his having been charged to form a Cabinet , and to say that he has only been consulted on the state of things by the President of the Republic . The Patrie says that all that can be reasonably supposed is , that Louis Napoleon will take his Cabinet from the 286 .
Some Bensation was created on Tuesday by the arrest of nearly sixty persons belonging to a secret society of Red Republicans and Socialists . Amonest the papers seized are the programme of the association , and a proclamation to the people , telling them to prepare for the extermination of the Monarchists of all kinds . The . principles of the programme are the same as those proclaimed by Barber and his partisans , viz . Abolition of the public funds , free schools for the people , and protection of the working classes , with emancipation from masters , a graduated property-tax , organization of labour by the State .

GERMAN AFFAIRS . The great question between Austria and Prussia now is the settlement of the Zollverein . Prussia will not consent to the equalization of tariffs by which Austria wishes to bring about a zoll union , but is ready to conclude b treaty of commerce for six years , by which raw materials may have free transit through countries separated by different tariffs . M . Mnnteuffel wishes the North Sea States to enter likewise into this convention . As it is the Free Trade
party which supports Mnnteuffel , he will not be able to play into the bunds of Austria ou that point , even if he were so disposed . Of Saxony and Bavaria the Austrian Government is secure ; the memorials which have been presented to the third comminsiim by them show this . Wirteunberg is equally t » afe . From Berlin , IIai : ovcr , and tho lion so Towns alonecan Austria expect opposition . The Hamburg Free-Trade Union has organized a connection with about thirty commercial town * , and nssumed the title of " Central German Free-Trade
Committee . " The party Hcema to be developing groat activity . The Austrian project hiiH put the norf . li of Germany quite on the alert , and raised that degree of interest for tho question which was hitherto wanting . At Marienwerder a free-tra . de meeting « t the landed proprietors of Wont Prussia wna to be held on the ' 20 th instant , for the purpose of signing au energetic n < emorial against the evils of Protection ubuso , in which all the towns corporations of tho province would be invited to join . t A general coiigrcBtt for the middle of next month at Klbing will be proposed .

PROTESTANTISM AND POPERY . The most notable eveut of the week in this department has been the presentation , of an address to the Queen by the whole of the Irish prelates , in reference partly to the Papal aggression , but more especially to the question recently mooted in the correspondence between their lordships and the Archbishop of Canterbury . They express great anxiety on ; account of the silence maintained refarding the invasion of the royal supretrtacy in reland , " where the prerogative of the Crown is , by law , one and the same as in England , " and where 11 the Bishops of Rome have long ago pursued a
course not dissimilar to that now attempted in England . " They express a fear lest " some ill considered compromise" should he contemplated •' for the distinct and special defence ; of what has been called , by a . title unknown to the law , ' the Church of England . ** ' If" the present excitement should lead to the adoption of any measure calculated "to impair the integrity of the united church , " they hold that it Would do more damage " to the whole church and to the co ' tihtry than any acts of the Bishop of Rome or any encroachments from without could possibly effect . " Whatever may be done , they dsk that Ireland may have its share of protection against Papal aggression .
The Reverend H . L . Jenner , son of Sir Herbert Jenner Fust , who was said to have " received an intimation that he had better resign bis curacy in consequence of his taste for Romanizing practices , " has given that statement an unqualified contradiction . A statement somewhat similar in character , respecting the Reverend W . J . Woodward , of St . James ' s , Bristol , is also contradicted . Robert Biddulph Phillipps , Esq ., of Longworth-house , was received into the Latin communion of St . Francis Xavier ' s Church , Hereford on the feast of tha Epiphany , Monday , the 6 th instant , by tne Reverend i . B- Morris , of Prior-park , formerly Fellow of Jixeter College , Oxford . — Hereford Times . . ,
With reference to a statement in one of the morning papers , that Cardinal Wiseman has had notice of an intended prosecution for misdemeanor , we we at liberty to state that no euoh notice has been given on th « par' ° * the Government . We believe that a document has . been sent to his Eminence at the instance of a ( gentleman legally connected , with the City , containing some ad-, mifiasloiis which the Cardinal is requested to make , in order to raiun the question of tho legality , or otherwise , of his archicpiscopal assumptions . . -The , step has been taken in the exercise of the right which bqlqiigsto every subject , to institute a prosecution in any case in which he may consider the criminal law of the country violated , and without the cognizance of her Majeety'w law officers . — Globe .
