These relations* are destined to' survive the events which gave birth to them. Several French establishments have since the war, been formed in the principal ports of the Black Sea, where they will remain. Such are the advantages which France will derive from the war, and "they may well be placed in'thc scale against the prico which they have cost her." To these maybe added another?and-by no means an unimportant one.

The Madrid journals of the 4th, report that considerable sensation had been caused by the discovery of a conspiracy to assassinate the Queen. The following are some details of the affair given by The Diario: "A man named Rendondo Mornuw nr ganized .1 secret society three montfis ago, and a young carpenter was drawn into it. It having been resolved to kill tho Queen, this young man was designated by lot to do the deed, and lie was told that if he fired on her Majesty, a sum of 2000 piasters should he given to him, and that if he failed to do so ho should be certainly put to death" by ltife fellow conspirators. On the 28th ult., at the moment at which the carriage of tbj^ Princess of Asturins approached the Galh del A renal, a young man named Fuentcs drow a pistol from his pocket, a police agent seized his arm and prevented him frojpi discharging the weapon. On being interrogated, he made known the Piinfc nltnva riilatnil J?tjf ) ?? liendondo Marqticz went to tlic place, on pretext of making revelations representing the conspiracy. No arms have been fo;.tul in uny house of the Calli del Arenal. Marqticz is a native of Almadencios, in (he province of Cuidad Ileal. His political opinions have always been Carlist. He is a bold enterprising man', and has been imprisoned for forgery." The following are some details of the affair given by the Nacion : "The military precautions which were taken 011 the 2Gth ult., 011 the occasion of the visit of the Queen to the Theatre del Principe, and which have given rise to a good deal of conversation, "were,, it appears, caused l>v tlio discovery of a plot to destroy the Queen in the Calli del Arenal, near the Calli de la Duda, as Iter Majesty was returning from tho theatre. The Government received the information on the previous day by means of an anonymous letter sent tlirough the post. Some suggestions were given in it for baffling the conspiracy. The Government afterwards learned that another attempt was to bo made on tho 20th, and it took some new precautions. What is curious is, that, the, auonymous letter was written by the very man who was to have fired on the Queen with a pistol. Tie is a youncr married workman, named Fnenfoa. It results from his declarations, and from those of other persons who have been arrested, and who, like him, belong to the lower class,'that the chief of the conspiracy was an officer of the National Guard, named Rcndoudo Marquez, well known ill the capital. This man has hitherto escnped capture, though it is said that he is secreted at Madrid. Among his papers were found writtern permissions to enter the place and speak to the Queen. He, it appears, obtained them by pretending that ho was in a position to make disclosure^ respecting dark plots against the Queen. ?' j Massachusetts Against Sooth Carolina. Washington, Juiie 21.
