FRENCH PAPERS. A correspondent of the Lboutitsitioneelgives an account of a con test between the Duke of Wellington and a great personage in high favour with. hit Majesty King George the Fourth (the Duke of (himberland, we suppose,) in which the King interfered. His Majesty is made to speak quite oracularly on this occasion—" If I make use of my preroptive r l may displease the nation ; let Par liament pronounce, and then I shall see what is to be dune." If ttiiq satisfy the party to whom It was addtessed, it is all well. According to the Cbarrirr Francais, couriers have brought to the French Government and the Russian Embassy dispatches respect tog the propositions made by the Ministers of England and France in favour of Prince Leopold. The answers of the Russian Go vernment are described as evasive. Russia does not conceive that the establishment of a Monarchy is at present what is most ur gently wanted for the tranquillizing Greece. Our Parisian con temporaries are never at a loss for a story. If the Sovereigns of 'Kamp* differ, It is not very likely that they should underrate the mportance of Monarchy, in making the people supremely happy From the Messayer des Chambres of Tuesday.

Two plans had been discussed to subdue Algiers; the one was to land 25,000 men, with the necessary osakvieli the other, to per- 1 1 made the Viceroy of Egypt to place at our disposal a body of troops sufficient to besiege Algiers. In this case we should furnish the necessary magerid, but we should avoid risking the health of our soldiers in a climate to which they ate not accustomed.

M. de ROTHYCHILD has been declared the Contractor for the French Loan of eighty millions, francs. The price at which the Loan has been taken is not, we believe, exactly known ; but re port states it at 1051 for the new French Four per Cents. At three o'clock it was stated on 'Change that the rate V.. 43 1021. F.vidences of the dissolving Ministry—less and less to I.le mistaken in their character—are thickening fast upon us, even through the columns of the Noble Du K E . B known satellites and retainers. An evening contemporary yes terday, whose insincerity to the principles on which he once pretended to pride himself, and whose devotion to the Duke of WELLINOTON has long superseded all nobler actuations, prepares us very strongly for an imme diate break up of the Military Directory. Mr. Vest r 1 . 1 INGERALN.-..he says—is to be succeeded at the Board of Trade by Mr. HEKRI Es, if his health should compel hint eventually to resign. The fact is, that Mr. FlTZ r.r.a L D is going out, for causes much more compulsory than the one here assigned : the successor of Mr. HER- IttES at the Mint is not even speculatively alluded to— probably, it will be Mr. TIERNEY. A rather elaborate eulogium upon the " plain good sense" and commercial knowledge of Mr. HERRIES, follows this announcement of his probable change of office : after which, the Globe thus remarkably continues : " Mr. HsaRIES does not stand well, with a large party in the country, and even with many of the friends of the present Ministry, on account of the events which preceded and occasioned the breaking up of Lord CODE iqcft's Administration. Those occurrences, we confess, we ds trot yet understand, notwithstanding all the expla nations given of them ; but this we think is very plain— that the Ministers of that Cabinet did not understand oue ' "...° A .0 4 ; +N another—that their jealousies and fears made them fre quently entertain unjust suspicions of one another." When it is considered that—a very few sentences above this last paragraph—Mr. HERRIES is announced by our contemporary, as the new President of the Board of Trade ; an office, not inferior in importance to any in the KIN o's Cabinet : when, moreover, it is considered that in the paragraph just quoted, Mr. HanitlES is thrown overboard without mercy, re serve, or qualification, as the Jonas of that very Ca binet—any person, capable of putting this and that together, may form to himself some notion of the storm on which the Ministry is tossing. Here is the Globe, who has been protesting with all his might—and still protests—that the Noble DUKE'S administration is firm and stable, acknowledging in the same breath that one of the principal pillars of that administration is rotten in public opinion; nay, more--is rotten in his, the Globe's! This, this is the unkindest eut of all. Mr. HERIUES—says the Ministerial writer—does not stand well with a large party in the country, and even with many of the friends of the present Ministry : and yet,Mr.H Eau tEs—it appears—is the best selection which the Noble DUKE could make to fill one of its most im portant posts! The reason alleged by the Globe for Mr. HEILKIES'i unpopularity is--if possible. T—even an aggravation of malice : for he states it to be, " on account of the events which preceded and occasioned the break ing-up of Lord GODYRICII'II Administration." In spite of all the explanations given, our Contemporary states, that he does not yet understand those occurrences : mean ing thereby, that the moral taint which they have left upon certain characters has not—in his eyes—•ever been wiped away. Neither has it in our's; but this opening up, by the Globe, of those old wounds in the reputation of his quondam patrons does not augur any expectation on his part, that the star of patronage will continue to rise and set in the same quarter of the political sky, as latterly it has been wont to do. The same paper, while it contradicts—but only upon its own unsupported assertion -the alleged misunderstanding between his MAJESTY and the Prime Minister, admits that the ICING has expressed himself with great indignation on that subject, which is stated to have been the ground of difference between them. These are straws, but they show the direction of the wind. The Morning Chronicle of to-day pertinaciously denies all rumours of any approaching changes in the Government. He waits —we apprehend—for the corroboration of the Gazette. CITY, Twatvx o'CLocx. Up to the present hour the mountain has not brought forth its labour—The French Papers and rims of Tuesday having been received, but, to the great surprise of our City speculators and jobbers, the above has not brought the account who has been the Contractor of the French Loan ; bat it is suspected that private advice has been received this morning with the result, and which is kept a profound secret as yet. Report says that &dog and his party have got it ; but this cannot be relied on. The grand secret, to doubt, will come out In a few hours. Consols. which left off yesterday at 95j sellers, opened at 954 buyers ; since which they have taken a start, owing to a good deal of money Stock being purchased by some of the leading Brokers, and Consols may be quoted at present at 953 I for the Account, and for omit time 95i, 96. Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro of the 15th No vember. We do not hear any political Dews by the above con veyance ; but the Stock there has got up two and a ball per cent. and the Exchange has fallen a half per cent. This is a demonstra tion that no Loan has been contracted for. In the Foreign Market Brazil Bonds have improved, owing to the above information from Rio. We have no arrivals this morning : the French Mail is yet due. HALF-PAST ONE. The Consol Market remains steady at 9g for the Account. and 951 96 for next time. This day is the settling in the Foreign Market. We have not yet beard of any failures, although it Is a heavy settling account in Brazil Stocks. The French Mail has arrived. The Emperor of AUSTRIA'S physician, who had been sent to Parma to attend on the Archduchess MARIA Loy isA, has returned to Vienna. Mademoiselle J EN N Y VERPHRE, who acted last season with so much success in the French Plays at the English Opera-house, is now performing at the Gymmnase, in Paris. THE PRICE or A SOUL.—There is at Madrid an establishment called the Monte-de-Pieded (Mount of Piety), the business of which is the purchase of souls from Purgatory. According to the last official Report of its proceedings, from the Ist of November, 1826, to the Ist November, 1827, 356,900 francs were laid ont for the deliverance of 11,402 souls. The number of Muses said to obtain their deliverance and their par don was 548,921, which is at the rate of 42 francs 90 centimes for the redemption of each soul-42 f. 90 c. is thus neither more nor less the exact market price of a soul in purgatory.--Figaro.

The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has decided a question of great interest to dramatic authors. It has issued an ordinance, by which the rights of authors must be con sidered by the Directors of Theatres an inviolable depot, and to be received, notwithstanding any seizure or oppo sition on the part of the creditors of Theatres. A young lady of Bourg (Ain,) rich and handsome, has been condemned by the Court of Assize to the pu nishment for parricide.

The whole conversation at the Government Oases to day is the rumoured resignation of Mr. PEEL and Mr. Go uts u KW , both of which are said to have been accepted.

We have to apologise to our Mailers, for a trifling mistake committed in our Paper of yesterday in speaking of the present exorbitant and unreasonable high price of Hemp ; it is stated to bo " 50 to 70 per cwt." above its price in 1793.4 ; it should have been " 50 to 70 per cent." The word average also, should have followed the word Gazette in that part of the article relating to Sugar. We understand that a serious difference of opinion exists between the Premier and an Illustrious Personage on the subject of the affairs of Portugal. The desire of the Noble Duke to recognise the regal authority of MI GUEL is said to be opposed in the highest quarter, in con sequence of a feeling that the conduct of Don Min ti EL has been directly insulting to the Sovereign of this coun try, inasmuch as be has broken engagements which he personally made when hospitably entertained at Wind sor,Brighton Gazette. Some of our readers may recollect a Mr. CLAYTON, who appeared once at the Catholic Association to com plain of tbe persecution he suffered from the Clergy of Galway, in consequence of his having embraced Pro testantism. It was ascertained that his grievances were quite imaginary; and, from his whole demeanour, as well as the character of his observations, it was easy to see that he laboured under considerable estrangement of the mind. He is the same person who has just been killed in the duel with Mr. La m lIRLACIIT, at Battersea. It appears that the quarrel, which has terminated so fatally, grew out of a discussion respection the Relief Bill be tween the parties— Dublin Morning Register. We find, by the Tralee Mercury, that the Listowell Magistrates have come to the determination of excluding Attornies from the Petty Sessions Court of that district. Last week their Worships informed Mr. Richard Fitz gerald and Mr. Leonard, that they could not allow the public the aid of the legal advice of these gentlemen in future ; and they were peremptorily interdicted on that occasion from interfering on behalf of their clients. These gentlemen very discreetly complied, having the fear of the treatment of Counsellor Croke before their eyes. There are .now in Ireland seven regiments of cavalry, 12 brigades of artillery, 19 infantry Regiments, and 25 reserve companies, constituting a force of 24,700, ex clusive of militia staff and yeomanry corps. The severe weather proves, as it Might be expected to do, extremely injurious to the theatres—a bright coal fire possessing much stinger attractions, with the thermome ter at 20, than tragedy, comedy, farce, or pantomime. In the days of its ancient celebrity, at Athens, the funds of the theses* were provided before those of the lest ; 1 and the affairs of the state were dramatised by Aris tophanes as soon as they took place. MEXICO. LETrza V. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. St a—The result of the expedition against Tunipi,,, has been a glorious and most important event for the Mexican nation. It has been proved that Spain cannot count upon having a single partisan in Mexico; that the Mexicans lay aside their little family quarrels, as soon Ili the foreigner, hoping to profit by these, appears amongst them; and the energy and force displayed by the young I Republic on this occasion, certifies that she could easily repulse an expedition quadruple to that which was led by BA RRA DAS. These three results are invaluable, but Spain can no longer be the dupe of vain hopes from internal support, or be able to dupe other Government'', and make them participate in her dream of conquest. She will no longer alarm commerce, should she renew I her aggressions : the Europeans will no longer be frightened at our party disseutions, should they unhappily be revived, nor can we Mexicans, when we are angry with one another, reproach with the odious name of " Bourbonist." This is quite enough, indeed, to justify the friends oft America in hailing the 11 th of Septem ber, 1829. But for all that, Mr. Editor, do not suppose that thus conquest of Tampico terminates our contest with Spais, or that the decisive advantages which we have obtained, are those which were only wanting to cement our na tionality. Far from it—as long as the Spaniards remain at our gates, we cannot store away our arms ; and a, long as we must all remain soldiers on duty, we cannot become peaceable citizens. But perhaps it will be asked, what have you henceforth to fear ? Do you believe that the Spaniards, after havin,..; received such a rude lesson at Tampico, would venture another expedition from Cuba ?—Assuredly I believe it, and why not ? They had not, in my opinion, a chance of success before, and yet they hazarded the experiment. Have they not at the Havannah, the same squadron almost the same troops ? the same six hundred leagues of unfortified coast before them ? the same facility to disembark three or four thousand troops on a dis tant point? But they would be sacrificed—Agreed. But what does that signify to a Government so paternal as that of FERDINAND ? But they will obtain no ad vantage ? Pardon !—they will obtain that of doing us an injury ; which is always something in the eyes of an obstinate enemy. What is the penitence shown by the Spaniards? A month had scarcely passed—it was scarcely known that the disarmed soldiers of BARRADAS had re-embarked from the theatre of their humiliation, when letters, and journals from Spain, announced to us new preparations founded upon hopes still more senseless than the former ones. Their cry is treason, on the part of that tame BARRADAS, whom they before had so extravagantly eulogised ; of want of skill, on the part of LABORDI and ofjealousy, on that of \rives. In short, there is a mixture of every thing, except Mexican courage and pa triotism, for some say, the Mexicans conquered without fighting ; others, that they triumphed at the moment they were beaten, subdued in spirit, and almost prisoners of war, to those Spaniards who four times in two days asked to capitulate, on their lives being saved ; and do not believe that all these absurdities are circulated to console mortified pride, and gild the bitter pill of defeat. So, no, it is done as some excuse to other Governments fer the new enterprise that they have in view, and which they will risk, be persuaded, with the same confidence, with► the same fanfaronade, with the same elements of success, as if nothing had occurred, which has occurred. Spanish Obstinacy has not become a proverb for nothing. Suppose, nevertheless, that Spain should to-day ac knowledge her incapacity to attack us, may she not change her mind ? Has she the means of doing it ? Cer tainly. Then it is the same thing to us. We must al ways keep on the qui vire ; that is, remain with our arms folded, whilst our finances are wasting by the mainte nance of an army out of proportion to our population, and our revenue, exposed to all the dangers with which a mi litary preponderance menaces a republic, obliged to ne glect our civil organisation, and rendered unable to econo mise the expenditure, for the payment of our former creditors, and the re-establishment of our credit ! And can we do more, or do otherwise, when every hour may be the hour of invasion ? A tolerable fair wind, assures a passage from the Havannah to Campeachy in eight, and to Vera Cruz in three days. May we then risk a surprise ? How could we know when Spain became pacific ? Do you think she would come to us, her enemies, and graci ously inform us of it? Would she say to those who listened to her, " I detest as much as ever, the re volted Mexicans : I will have no truce, or reconciliation with them, but advise them to go to sleep, and to hold me in contempt, for in future I will have nothing to do with them." Is that possible ? No—Spain will never place herself voluntarily in as humiliating a position, as if she were to recognise our independence, without the advantages she would have a right to expect from that act of justice; she will never gratuitously lower herself before other nations, by a confession of national distress, when she may, if such be her wish, conceal it by a Treaty of Peace, dictated by necessity, but which she will ascribe to motives of humanity and policy. Who would trust her, if she were guilty of such folly What pledge can she give of her veracity ? What gua rantee of stability ? A third party must always intervene ; but will Spain, who has rejected a hundred times the mediation of friendly Powers, now solicit their intervention ' to tie ignominiously her hands ? Then, if this interven tion be necessary, and if it must take place, it is indispen , sable that the previous consent of Spain should not be required. I flatter myself already to hue proved, that t h e poli tical and commercial interests of England are so much prejudiced by the iodeterasinate proloagadba of this war, that her intervention has become imperative. It must also be immediate. -for though Spain may be
