London, July 17.—In the House of Commons this evening Rt. Hon. Lord Otho Fitzgerald, member from Kildare county, produced and had read the Queen's reply to the address of Commons on the subject of international arbitration, as follows: "I have received the address of my faithful Commons, praying that I would be graciously pleased to instruct my principal secretary to enter into communication with foreign powers, with a view to further improve the international law, and establish a general and permanent system of arbitration. I am sensible of the force of the philanthropic motives dictating the address. I have at all times desired to extend the practice of ceasing international controversies by their submission to impartial friends, and to encourage the establishment of rules intended for the equal benefit of all. I shall continue to pursue a similar course with due regard to time and opportunity, whenever it is likely to be attended with advantage." The House received the document with hearty cheers.
AN ORDER.—Bayonne, July 17.—Don Carlos has issued an order that the Curé of Santa Cruz be treated as a rebel.
ISABELLA.—Brussels, July 17.—The ex-Queen of Spain is about to arrive in this city.
