TR,P LONDON, MARCH 28. k Paris papers of Thursday were received this morning by express The v communicate the im- ri \nte^' £ ence that the Thiers' Ministry had car- ei 1 motion in the Chamber of Deputies for the b a'i of a million of francs (40,0001. sterling), as secret ervice money, by a majority of 86 the numbers beins, r le grant., '246; against it, 160. This was not only j'^n. a very unexpected triumph to the Thiers' i)ortlniS!r^t'0n' ^°r ^ie mos^ sanguine of their sup- mosf1" Th ant'c^Pa':e a greater majority than 25 at staf/r» r c'rcutnstance is regarded as decisive of the ih! ° e new ministry, and produced a favotir- e e ect on the French funds. The Morning Herald represents the decisive triumph of M. Thiers as a vic- <3, T, ?iVei and the court party, while The Times aJs ,a* many of the adherents of the court voted for >e motion of the administration At all events it is a result which cannot fail to be attended by the most im- portant consequences to Europe as well as to France. The papers of the preceding day, which were received in due course, contained the explanation of M. Thiers as to how and under what circumstances his Cabinet was formed. After going through the history of his lormer failures to form an administration, he freely mi ed that the present Cabinet was an intermediary jci lnet, and then stated in general terms the policy he JUrx?^ with regard to Europe He ob- e ne revolution of Jrtly had placed France in a ew and imposing position —principles had arisen at a memorable period, which France would now sup- port with vigour and perseverance. By timidity or Want of confidence in herself she would lose ground, and the respect of sjrrounding nations. He was one siir, m,ost children of that revolution, but he U a.vvays his voice for the maintenance of principles. There was one immense question of reign policy whica attracted the attention of the country-namely, the affairs of the East; but happily that question would be decided without any interrup- tion of the peace of Europe. He was proud to say that no one in the Chambpr would vote for the destruction ° p6 empire, in order to found a rival power in -.gvpt, or any one who would consent to sacrifice the rights acquired by Mahemet Ali. In fact, all were agreed upon these important points, or at least they la an immense majority. After entering into some details as to the line of conduct followed by previous administrations, M. Thiers added that he showed no reluctance to return to office the moment he found that he could act up to his convictions. He knew that the different parties in the Chamber all advocated order, but they differed merely in the mode of carrying out their systems; the principle was the same, and there- fore he saw no reason for a decided separation between men who were actuated by the same object. The vic- tim of such premeditated hostility would be the illus- trious personage who had done him the honour to con- fide in his humble abilities. The sincere friends of the constitution of July would not act upon a system of exclusion, as they must be well aware that it must en- tail the ruin of the country; the members of the pre- sent cabinet, being, determined to do everything in their power for the interests and glory of France, would rely upon the support of all true patriots—A letter from Oran, dated the 10th inst., quoted by the Constitutionnel, says-" A treaty has been concluded between Abd el Kader and the Emperor of Morocco, on the subject of the holy war, for the complete extirpation of the rench. Several conditions of this compact are known, but the negotiations were impeded by a point of etiquette which the Sultan would not yield. They were of ac- cord with regard to the exchange of ammunition and the number of their respective forces, but the Emir insisteu on participating with the Sultan in all the ho- nours and prcrogativesoftiiecommand. The Emperor Abderrahman, on the other hand, refused to enter into open war with France unless Ab del Kader would take the command of the troops as his kalifa. The Emir has succeded, and is placed on an equality with the Sultan. Great preparations are being made at Nedroma, a town on the frontier of Morocco. Abd el Kader is at Tlemcen, remounting his cavalry." The Paris papers repeat the rumour that Cabrera had not been ill, and that the statements respecting li-is alleged indisposition were fabricated to enable him with safety to visit Dort Carlos at Bourges, "which he had done, notwithstanding the boasted vigilance of the French police." The correctness of this storv is denied by the police, while it is evident that some Carlist intrigue is suspected, for it appears that a reinforcement of gendarmes has been ordered forth- with to Bourges.—The Phnre des Py tenees of the L, y 22d inst. state that the head-quarters of General Espartero reached La Mata on the loth, and would there wait until the 17th for the arrival of the heavy artillery which he had left at Andorra. The General- in-Chief intended proceeding, on the last day, to Ejulve, and thence to Castellote. The third division had al- ready reached Ejulve, that of the Royal Guard was at Bourges, and the first at Mas de las Matas, so that the 24 battalions could be concentrated in the course of 24 hours near Castellote, with a considerable ar- tillery. The defence of the place was confided to Llangostera, who had collected a large force in the neighbourhood, with the intention of giving battle to the Christinos. t, Letters from Constantinople announce that the Shah of Persia had commenced war against the Ottoman Porte, and that an army ha^ already marched against Bagdad. It appears that this step has been taken without any formal declaration of war, and it cannot fail to have the effect of very considerably embarrass- ing the settlement of the Eastern question. The strength of the Persian army is not known, but it is said to be sufficient to overcome any resistance which the Turks may be enabled to oppose to its progress. Lisbon papers tc the 16th inst. have arrived, from which we learn that the Miguelites had joined with the Septembristas in an attempt to defeat the Ministry in the new elections, but the general impression was that the scheme would fail, and that the Duke of Palmella's party was in the ascendant. The domestic Stocks maintain their rise in Lisbon, and the country is evidently improving. The receipts at the Custom houses of Lisbon and Oporto for February were nearly equal to 75,0001. sterling, being at the rate of 900,000/. sterling per annum, an increase of upwards of 4000/. on the month preceding, and considerably above the joint revenue of the Lisbon Custom-house and Excise- office and Oporto Custom-house for the year 1838.
