FEANCE.—Political news of import now comes at rare intervals from France. More attention has been been paid lately to the dispute on ec- clesiastical matters than to anything else. Last week a special envoy returned from Rome, and it was presumed he brought an unfavourable answer from the Pope respecting the coronation ; which, it is currently reported, has been postponed till August. The Moniteur shortly after- wards announced, that certain reports respecting an intention to abolish the civil marriage were without foundation. The crown was put upon the whole of these rumours, when an ordinance from the Archbishop of Paris appeared, in obedience to an encyclical letter from the Pope, " spon- taneously " removing the prohibition he had placed on the circulation of the Univers within his diocese. This is regarded as a great victory by the Ultramontane party. In his encyclical letter, the Pope congratulates the clergy on the especial devotion to the Catholic Church of "our very dear son in Jesus Christ, Napoleon, Emperor of the French ; by the care of whose Government, the Catholic Church, tranquil and protected, en- joys with you entire peace." And his Holiness, so far as his power lies, puts an end to the controversy respecting the use of the Classics, by permitting students to study either the so excellent works of the lfoly Fathers, or the writings of the most celebrated Pagan writers, when sub- jected to a most careful expurgation ; but still more to acquire the perfect and solid knowledge of theological doctrines, of ecclesiastical history, and the sacred canons, as shown forth in the authors approved by the Holy Bee."

By a circular from the Minister of Police, refugees are ordered not to take up their abode within a hundred miles of the frontier of the coun- tries from which they fled. No political refugee is to reside in the dc- pertinent of the Seine, at Lyons, or Marseilles, without an express au- thorization.

The Emperor has been confined to his bed for some days ; but he has not been so ill as to prevent the transaction of business.

SPAIN.—For some time the debates in the Cortes have been hot and violent; and the Opposition has daily increased in daring. One of the allegations against the Government has been corrupt concessions of rail- ways; but the gravest attacks have been directed on every occasion against the unconstitutional proceedings of the Ministry and their pre- decessors. Queen Christina and her husband have not been spared. One of the Conches boldly asserted that the Queen was no party to the attempts to govern without the concurrence of the Cortes. In the Chamber of De- puties, General Prim violently declaimed against the present state of things. He boldly asserted that Spain was not dead, whatever Ministers in their blindness might suppose ; there was still blood and heart in the nation. Spaniards had not fought to maintain one Bourbon prince against another, but to seat the constitutional Isabella II. on the throne to the exclusion of Absolutism and the Inquisition. These debates took place on the 7th ; on the 8th the Cortes was closed by decree. Next day the Ministers resigned, and the Queen received their resignation. Accounts received yesterday state that General Lersundi had been ordered to form a Cabinet ; and that the Cortes had been reopened.

Bzuntar.—The Duke of Brabant has lately attained the age of eighteen, at which he becomes eligible for taking his scat in the Senate: accord- ingly, on the 8th instant, he was formally introduced into that body. The Prince de Ligne President of the Senate, in concluding the speech calling on him to take the oath, spoke impressively of King Leopold as "the faithful ehseTvet* of *went faith." The allusion was obvious.

GERMANT.—The sturdy citizens of Hesse Cassel have shown that the repressive measures of the Duke and his Minister Hassenpflug have not destroyed public spirit. The new-modelled Diet met on the 6th instant; and by a very large majority it was declared, that the Germanic Diet, although entitled to call for the modification of special points, had not the right to abolish the old constitution of Hesse Cassel, and that this was still the fundamental law of the state. The decision took the Government by surprise. According to the Vienna correspondent of the Frankfort Post Gazette, the English Police do not confine the sphere of their operations to their native land.

"It is now confirmed that the Prussian Police were most efficiently as- sisted in the late ,political arrests at Berlin and elsewhere by repeated com- munications from the Police of London, without which many of their dis- coveries might not have been made. In this we see a proof of the good faith of the British Government, when, through Lord Westmoreland, it assured the Cabinet of Vienna that it would watch over the conduct of the refugees. We learn from other sources that the London Police has for some time kept lists of all the fugitives residing there, and watches over their communica- tions with the Continent."

TCRKEY.—Still nothing certain from Constantinople. The latest ac- counts respecting the demands of Prince Menschikoff are mere guesses, but they indicate excessive encroachment on the part of Russia—a right to enter the Dardanelles included.

The warlike accessories of the Prince were to leave Constantinople on the 28th March. It is obvious that nothing can be settled until the French, Austrian, and British Ambassadors arrive.

INDIA. —Tho overland mail arrived in London yesterday morning. The dates are—Bombay, March 14 ; Rangoon, February 23.

Lord Falkland had suspended Mr. Grant and Mr, Le Geyt, two of the Judges of the Sudden Adawlut. This act of authority had excited great indignation in Bombay, owing to an opinion that the causes of sus- pension were insufficient. It appears that a Mr. Luard, Judge of Surat, tried a ease in 1843-45, and his decision was reversed by the Sudder Court. He was dismissed for intemperate conduct on the bench, and appointed to an office in the revenue department. From that time through the Bombay Gazette, he has constantly attacked the Judges. Proof was obtained that he wrote the articles ; one of the Judges de- manded that he should be prosecuted, and the scandals investigated. The Government declined. Latterly, specific charges were made in the Gazette, but not nearly so grave or specific as many which had passed unnoticed. The allegations of the Gazette were, that Mr. Grant kept a mistress and played high at his club; that Mr. Le Geyt had made a fictitious transfer of his liabilities previously to deciding a suit in which one of his creditors was concerned ; and that both were notoriously in debt. The Government called on the Judges for a denial of these charges on oath.

"Both the Judges admitted the fact of being in debt ; but stated, that it was notorious to Government and to the public that they had been so long before they were appointed to the bench, and that it was well known that their liabilities had been honourably ineurred,—Mr. Grant's in becoming answerable for the debts of a brother, whose health required his immediate departure from the country, and who died soon after he left ; and Mr. In Geyt's in assisting his father : moreover, that their debts were well secured and in course of liquidation, that their creditors had always been satisfied, and that their debts had in nowise interfered with their judicial duties. Mr. Le Geyt emphatically denied that the transfer of his liabilities had been fictitious ; and it appeared that though the decision of the Court had been in favour of the Native gentleman who had been his creditor, Mr. Le Geyt's individual judgment had been recorded against him. Mr. Grant admitted that he kept a mistress, and occasionally., though very rarely, played for money at the club, but submitted that these were private matters, which could in nowise affect the discharge of his public duties."

These answers were submitted to the Advocate-General, and he stated that there was no ground "for granting a criminal information" : where- upon Lord Falkland suspended the Judges. It is significantly remarked that both Judges, especially Mr. Grant, were friends of Colonel Outran; and promoters of the Baroda inquiries. The Burmese news differs in little from the usual monthly accounts. It is pretty nearly all summed up in the phrase "General Godwin still remains inactive at Prome."

Mee Toon the redoubtable robber whose force drove back Captain Loch's expedition, has sued for terms. A reward of 1000 rupees has been offered for his head; which, it is remarked, "if it could only be placed on the shoulders of the British commander, would be cheap at the money." General Steele had occupied Shoygyn—"the largest and hand- somest town the troops have yet seen in Burmah." Muskets have been sent from Calcutta for the purpose of arming local levies on the footing of the Punjaub irregular regiments. It appears that the loss of Captain Loch's force at Donabew was not less than 100 in killed, wounded, and missing. The expedition was to be the subject "of an early official inquiry." Major Hawes, commanding in Bassein' has committed suicide. He declined to aid Captain Fytche, who with the assistance of Captain Rennie cleared the province by a dashing movement, under the impression that Captain F e would fail, and that General Godwin would reprimand him for detae • g a portion of his garrison. The Major put an end to his own life, in fear of severe censure from Lord Dalhousie for refusing Captain Fytche's requisition ! UNITED STATES.—The Baltic arrived at Liverpool on Thursday, with adviees from New York to the 2d April.

The internal political news is still without importance ; but we have stirring intelligence from Greytown. For some time there has been a quarrel pending between the Government and the Accessory Transit Company of Nicaragua, which the citizens are disposed to regard as a monopoly. The Government had resolved to take possession of some of the Company's buildings, the lease of which, it is alleged, had expired ; and they were proceeding to carry out their resolution, on the 12th March, when the United States ship of war Cyane arrived. Her com- mander, Captain Hollins, immediately landed a party of marines; and the authorities, "unable to repel force by force," surrendered their power under protest. Captain Hollins, it is said, stated that he had full author- ity from the Government of the Lilted States for the course he had pur- sued. A message was sent off by the Mosquitian Government to the British Admiral in the West Indies.

Joaquim, the Mexican robber, who with his band has committed such atrocities in California, has been run to earth, but not captured. Large rewards for his head had drawn together a mixed company of Americans and Indians, who hunted the bandit and his followers into a thick wood of chaparral near Jackson but they dared not follow him. Several of the band had been captured and hanged.

MEXIC0.—Santa Anna had definitively consented to return to Mexico, as Dictator, on the 1st April. He had a long interview with Escobar, and the sentiments he expressed have been published. They are not i

favourable to the United States. Santa Anna's watchword s "Inde- pendence or Death." He severely reproaches the Mexicans with ingrati- tude to him ; declares he loves retirement, and only accepts power on patriotic grounds.
