From the paucity of reported events abroad, one might almost
suppose that the Continental nations had resulted to do nothing and say little until ur elections bad been decided. Certainly, we do not remember a week in which the papers have been so bare of foreign intelligence of the slightest interest. The little news there is from Fiance is of a cheering and non- political character. Commerce is beginning to revive ; and the accounts from the provinces received in Paris represent the crops of corn and the state of the vineyards to be most promising. An Ovei flowilig harvest is expected. The Queen Regent of Spain has granted an amnesty to all political offenders, and sworn to the new constitution.
The accounts from the seat of war, of the marches and counter- marches of the opposing forces, are confused and contradictory. It could seem that Don CARLOS is marching towards Barce- lona; mud that the Baron DE MEER is moving in the same direc- tion, with a view to intercept the Carlists.
The above is all the foreign intelligence worth laying before our readers this week. We do not wonder that the Peris cor- respondents of the daily papers declare that the Parisians were never so much at a loss for something new.
