ItU§SIA. FROM Tilt FRENCH PAPERS. After deploring the loss of an Emperor so generally beloved, all hearts naturally feel for the Empress Elizav , eth—an angel of virtue, of henrvt►lence,`whn adored her husband, and who received 'his list sigh. . lit herself, overwhelmed with grief, she has displayed • in these awlnhaioments super-human firmness 1) ring five days she did not quit for ene moment the pillow of the Emperor, and when the fat..l hour arrived, des pairing, but resigned, ►be drank from the hitter chalice. She ' washed the form and the hands of him whom sae had loved so well: she closed his eyes, and crossed his hands on his boscim. Then it was that she fainted. I think I shall gratify you by sending copies of two let ers which this Princess wrote to the Empress-mother. They have been copied and circulated at Court, and I pltdge myself for their authenticity. They present the sim:•le espression of profound grief and Christian resignation: 4. TAGANROG, Nnv. 18, (0.5.) 1825. " DEAR MOTHER—I was not in a state to write to you by the courier of yesterday. To-day, a thousand and a thousand thanks to the SVPREMB Britco, there is clecidedly a very great improvement in the health of the Emperor—a Ithat angel of benevolence in the midst of his sufferings. For whom should GOD manifest his infinite mercy, if not for him ? Oh, my Goo! what moments of affliction have I passed ; and you, dear mother, I fan picture to myself your uneasiness. You receive the bulletins. You have, therefore, seen to what a state we %vete yesterday reduced, and still more last nicht; but Wylie (an English physician) to-day, says himself, that the state of our deaf patient is satisfactory. He is exceedingly weak. Dear Mother, I confess to you that lam nut myst If, and that I can say no more. Pray with us—with Afty milliGns of men, that Goa may deign to complete the cure of our well-beloved patient. " ELIZA BETH." " Novelties 19. " Our angel is gone to Heaven, and I—l linger still en earth. Who would have thought that 1. in my steak bum of health, could have survived him ? Do not you abandon me, mother, for I am absolutely alone in this world of case. Our dear deceased has resumed his air of benevolence: his smile proves to me that he k happy, and that he gazes on blighter objects than ezkt here below. 'My only consolation under this irreparable loss is, •hat I shall nut long survive him ; I hope to be soon re-united to him. " ELIZABETH." This interesting Princess declared that she wished to accompany the body to this place. Refl.ltt what dread ful angu'sh she must sustain in a journey which must occupy two months (1875 vents, at SO in each day). Every day the body will be depsi ed in the Churches. it is impossible that she can sustain it. Yesterday the courier brought nothirg from her—her weakness is extreme. '1 . 1114. EVENING LONVON.

The facts are— . Ist. That on the whole year the total diminution of Revenue is only £238,910, or about £487 in every £lOO,OOO. This is too trifling to n. 'ice. ea. That on the first three Quarters of the year, there ' was an increase of R. v. nue. as compa-ed with the yeat preceding, of 051,026, notwithstanding the remission of Taxis to an immense amount. Sd. That even in the last eventful Quarter, the ,Jte. senue in all other branchei, except the Excise and Customs, exceeds by a small sum, the Revenue col lected in the corresponding Quarter of 1825. 4.11. That the whole deficiency, exclusively arises on the two branches of Excise and Customs, and on them, only *in the last Quarter. There cart be no question, then, that this deficiency is attributable to the single circumstance, that during the scarcity of money, the great dealers in warehoused goods, under bond for duties, postroned, from necessity, their customary advances of Revenue, and deferred adding to their stock on hand, until commercial credit should so far revive as to enable them to obtain from their Bankers the usual accommodation to pay the duties. On this view of the subject, there can be no room for the slightest despondency. The demand for mei chandize must increase with the exhaustion of the stock on hand, and that in its turn will create an accelerated payment of the Revenue in the course of the current Quarter. The official documents will be found in our succeed ing columns. We have received the Etoi'c of yesterday, hut it con tains little intelligence of interest no notice w•h.ttcver is taken of the letter which appeared the preceding day on the subject of the succession to the Russian Throne. The Charge d'Affaires of Russia at Ham burgh, has called on all the Russians in that city to take the oath of allegiance to the Emperor CossraN TINE. The Ltoile says, the indecent and reenitiog manner in which the death of the Emperor ALEX ANDER is said, in a London Paper to have oc curred, excites general indignation in Germany. The death of the EMPEROR IS attributed to his not taking sufficient precautions against the cold; he is said to have made excursions from six to eight o'clock in the even'ng, thinking his constitution sufficiently strong to bear the cold. The Prise of ORANGE set out for St. Peterslrurgh, on Sunday last, to compli ment his brother-in-law CONSTANTINE, OR his accession to the Throne. The Ftoik notices the failure of about a dozen speculators on 'Change, in Paris. One of them, M. CAUTOR, has failed for the sum of 800,000 francs. An article from Zante of 14th December states, that Livadia, which has enjoyed comparative tranquillity during the greatest part of this campaign, has again become the theatre of war. According to the new plan of the campaign, the Turkish troops in Thessaly, which have been for some time concentrated at Zeitouni, in endeavouring to effect a junction with the Albanian troops. The Greek General Goo!' As gaining intelli gence of this movement, marched rapidly from Attica to Livadia, where he was reinforced by the militia of several districts. He marched to the mountains, and surprised the advanced guard of the Turks, which he almost entirely destroyed. He then attacked the main bcly, which he is also said to have routed. Another Turkish corps which was advancing, hearing of these en gagements turned back, and resumed its former station. After having terminated this glorious expedition, GOURAS, at the head of the Romeliotes and Livadians, marched on Salona, leaving a small corps of observa tion in the north of Livadia. IMIRAHIM PACHA has summoned Missolonghi to sur render. and threatens, in case it does not, to put the inhabitants and garrison to the sword. Frankfort Papers to the Ist instant reached us this forenoon. They contain no additional intelligence from St. Petersburgh or Warsaw. The following are extracts: ELBERFELD, DECKMIRA 28. M. Becher, Sub-Director of the Rhenish West India Company, has been commissioned by M. Gorostiza, Mexican Consul General at Brussels, to make out cer tificates of origin for the Prussian merchandise intended for Mexico, in the provinces of the kingdom of Prussia, Iron the Weser to the western fiontier ; and also to do any other business connected with the trade with Mexico, that may occur in - these same provinces. His Excellency the Minister of the Interior and CoMmerce, has authorised M. Be.:ber to acc2pt this Commission. We have had the pleasure of receiving accounts ft ont M. S'ein, chief of tie second division of labourers of the German American Mining Company, stating that the Arethusa, on board which they sailed freers Antwerp, had happily arrived at Antigua. The whole c mpany having got over the sea sickness, was well, and in high spirits; and they were to leave Antigua the 3d Nov. for Alvarado, so that the ship would probably reach its destination before the end of November; thus they would arrive on the coast of Mexico in the most fa vourable season of the year. We feel the more pleasure at being ab'e to give the public this agreeable news, because, some time ago, very melancholy reports of the fate of this expedition had been circulated, which are thus refuted in the most sa tisfactory manner. BREMEN, DEcnora 25. The Commissioners assembled here for the revision of the Act f r the navigation of the Weser, having termi na.ed their labours, the final result was signed on the gist by t 1 e tentiaries from the States conceit ned, who have si..ce hit this city.

The Lord Chief Baron had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his hou-e in Grosvenor-square. Dowager Lady Neave bad a select evening party yesterday,:at her house in Albemarle-street. The City Correspondent of a Morning Paper, says, " The account of the last year's Revenue is peculiarly remarkable as regarding two items—namely, the Customs and Excise. In the former there is an increase bordering on five millions, in the latter there is a decrease of more than five millions and a half." The writer seems to forget that duties to the amount of more than five millions annually have been transferred from the Excise to the Customs, which easily accounts for the seeming disparity. WESTMINSTER' Ses•roNs.—At the Sitting of the Court this day, Mr. HOLDVI, officiated as the Chairman, in the absence of Mr. Coos?, who is confined through indisposition.— The whole of the prisoners against whom the bills were found for petty larcenies, assaults, &c. having been gone through, a pneral gaol delivery took place, when fifty-one individuals were dis charged by proclamation, namely, thirty-five males, and sixteen females, each of whom received a shilling on being set at liberty. The Sessions then adjourned. The tenantry ni the Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave ai splendid entertainment to his Lordship, at Newton ards, on the 27th tilt. After dinner the Noble Mar- Allis addressed them in a neat speech, the most remark able passige in which was as follows: " As consents Ireland, much has been done for her benefit and amelioration. Mere yet remains to be accomplished. England cannot stand firmly without us. With one of the best of Kings, and tke most popular Administrations, though a great deal has been effected for the advantage of our country, yet more important be nefits will he conferred hereafter. Meanwhile, let all rally round those under whom they live; let the same close and cordial spirit of mutual regard be cultivated between the proprietor of the soil and the tenant ; let them act as you have done this day ; and Protestant+ need no longer view with feelings of hostility their Ito- man Catholic brethren, nor Catholics continue their Associations. One act of justice shall fellow another, until no cause for com plaint shall remain, and Ireland be universally contented. What ever is just and right must ultimately triumph. Such. I believe in my conscience,is the will of the Austousi."—(Loud cheering). A report was circulated this morning in the City, of the death of Mr. LAI4II/ON, M.P. for the County of Durham. On inquiry, however, at the residence of this Gentleman, we learn, with pleasure, that the report is entirely unfounded. The Revenue of Exci e in Scotland has been in• creasing, because the quantity of legally distilled Spirits has greatly increased, and is everywhere increasing, to the exclusion of smug. glad Spirits. The tollowirhz is an extract of a letter received by a repectable family in Sheffield : - - An interVing occurrence has just taken place at St. Ives, In Cornwall. A/French slave ship has been driven in by distress. She was fitted up with all the apparatus for the horrid traffic— chains, thumbscrews, &c. and had on board five slaves—youths, who were kept out of a cargo lately landed in the West Indies, to assist in the navigation of the vessel. The ship has been ll , ting up in France for another voyage to Africa, and was taking back these five slaves, who would probably have been sold with the next cargo. 'fire arrival of the vessel under such circumstances excited considerable interest in the neighbourhood of St. Ives; and some person sent information to Mr. Wri.azaroicz and Mr. &macs. Through them the Chief Justice lirsr has been applied to, and has issued a writ of Habeas Corpus, for bringing the slaves to London." It is among the on dii: of the present day, that Lord STRATHAVKN will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar one of the daughters of the Marquis of Convnunass, with a fortune of 110,0001. Orton Hall is assigned as the residence of the Noble Pair, and it is said that very extensive additions to the new house lately built by the Earl of A SOYNI will he made in the ensuing spring. it is said that Prince NI ETTERNICII, the son, who was at Paris, teceived instruction► from his father to carry the dis patches from the Austrian Cabinet, which were of great import ance, to Loudon himself.-.-French &per.

The declaration'signed by Lord de Donstanville and other in. suential Gentlemen of the county of Cornwall, bas had the eff:ct o f quieting the public mind, and of preventing those run on the banks which might have otherwise taken place. Monday last, a meeting of the creditors of the firm or i\lrssr•, Ingelow and Son, of Boston, was held at the Peacock Inn, when it appeared that the hank lodgments amounted to 24,4251. and the notes of the firm in circulation to ;9,425•. making a total of 71,8501. To cover this debt, various items to the amount Of 64,666/. were stated as owing to the firm, leaving a deficiency of 61641. which sum being regularly deducted from the gross amount, left a dividend of Us. 3d. in the pound. The meeting were tins. nimously of opinion that a deed of as , ignment would be preferable to working a Com ' 'on of Bankruptcy, and resolutions eon. bodying that opinion were adopted without opposition. Tbe list of individuals (about 60 in number), with the Right Hon. Lord Sherborne at their head, who have so handsomely offered their own personal security for the notes of Turner and Co.'s Bank, at Gloucester. already presents a guarantee to the amount of 51,500/. and would, no doubt, be further increased, if it were necessary. Messrs. Dean, Clapcott, Quartley, and Co. of the Christchurrli, \Vimhorne, Poole, and Ringwood Batiks, resumed their paymen , , on Saturday last ; but very few per s ons applied to change the note►. The Banks of Mews. Bromage and Snead, at Monmouth and Brecon, have announced that they will resume their payments in two months. It is the intention of the Banker* in Ltecig, folkening the exam. ple of the Bank of England, to advance the rate of intcrest and count from 4 to S per cent. front and after the Ist instant. The inhabitants and tradespeople of Torrington, and the neigh. bourbood, have signed a declaration expressive of their ctmlidence in the stability of the Bank of Loveland, Slade, and Co. _ _ _ At Brighton, many shopkeepers are taking the notes of thrice banks which h ave suspended payment, and a 'copra' persuas.i.l seems to be entertained that they will eventually prove sowerr. The affairs of the Lewes Bank which stopped, are shin in a cttl... factory train; but at Horsham we understand that great diatrr-* has been occasioned by the failure of the Bank at that place, nealy all the farmers of that Neighbourhood having transacted their buNi. ness there, and many of them having deposits in their hands. . . Monday being the day appointed by - Mears. James, lu l l, and Sons, Bankers, of Wisbeack to commence paying off their one pound notes, the Bank was crowded at an early hour, by persona from all parts of the country, anxious to be among the first of the applicants. Their hopes, however, were soon disppointed, by the circulation of a notice, stating that the Bankers, disappointed of making their resources available, and of redeeming the pledge given by them to the public, they were under the necessity of requesting further indulgence, which they nun will be required furs short time only. Monday last, agreeably to notice, the highly respectable Banking house of Messrs. Browne and Co. of Aslabunon,was again opened, for the purpose of paying off their notes. Monday last, Messrs. Hartland issued a notice at Tewkesbury, in which they state that "they are actively engaged in completing rangements, which, they trust, will enable them speedily to hl a day fur resuming their payments. In the meantime they present to the Public a report of the situation of their affairs, by which, it appear., upon an investigation of the accounts,that the Bank Assets are fully equal to answer all demands upon them without taking into calcu. lation a considerable unincurnhered private property belungit.g to the individual members of the Firm. _ _ _ M . llollick, Nash, Searle, and CO. bankers of Cambridge, commenced paying off their one pound notes on Saturdty L,t, and continued paying on Monday morning, but in the afternoon ut Out day the Bank was again closed. and no funky: - payments made.
