FRENCH PAPERS. Front the .Caurrier Francais. PARIS, Dec. 14. A Meeting at Court is a curious thing when a change of Ministry is anticipated. Nothing is more easy than the business of a gcurtier when the wind blows steadily in one direction, and nothing more difficult when it is unsettled. 'she to turn towards the rising or setting sun? Towards MM. Polignse and Menthe', or MM. Pannier and 31anignac? There are, moreover, divisions in the Council, and the poor courtier knows not what to dot How must he model his face in presence of a quarrelling Ministry? To %mile on M. de Courvoisier may lose him the favour of M. de Pr. lignite, and the Insignificant and machine-like smile of M. de Cha fuel might make hint be suspected by M. de Bournsmat. There is only M. Guernon de Ranville, for whom nobody cares, or rather , to whom every body attends, for he is the laughing stock of the' Court, which visits ridiculousness with laughter wherever it is die covered. The portrait of Hampden has been placed under the care of the Preventive Police, and is seizable if exhibited without per mission. From the Constitutionnel. PARIS, Dsc.l4. The appearance of the Court yesterday was melancholy and se- Tinos, and the resolution of the Council was looked for with impa tience. The Ministers said little, and their thoughts were sought rather in their countenances than in their words. His Majesty appeared somewhat recovered from his accident : be presided at the Council. Among certain persons coup 47444 were spin men tioned ; others remarked that, in a few days, -this ridiculous farce would be at an end. There was so much uncertainty that it was impossible to tell whether smiles were to be reserved for the old Ministers or bestowed on the new ones. Skilful Courtiers smiled on both. These who spoke of coups d'etat have forgotten the legal resist ance which has sprung up spontaneously in all places, and they suppose that the citizens will allow themselves to be led away by a few maniacs, who cry out that the Revolution is come, because a conscientious and national Chamber wishes to introduce economy and order into its finances, prevent sinecures, and restore to the country what the Charter has given to it. We do not fear coup d'etat for ourselves. France is young and vigorous; but bas the faction of Absolutists and Sacristans the same prospects? Dare they engage in contest with a country that desires to remain tranquil, but which will re-assume all her activity at the first sign of a counter-revolution? It has been remarked, that it was at M. de Gannon Renville's who was last week declared incapable by the unanimous voice of the Council, and whose retirement seemed necessary to conciliate public opinion, that the destinies of France were decided. It seems, however, that the negotiations with M. Roy are broken of, for the Quoits of yesterday evening attacked MM. Roy, Napier, and Martignse, who were to form, it is said, a new Administra tion. From what party, then. will the Ministry obtain a majority, l which, according to our informatiort, decreases every day, through a desire of getting rid of them? It is demonstrated by contemporary annals, that the coalitions of Monarchs against France were for them the sources of ignominy, and the abyss of misfortune, unless when provoked by the despair, and by the spontaneous rust log to arms of their subjects. It was the people, not the Cabinets, who obtained success for the two coalitions which are remembered with regret by France, notwith standing her numerous victories. What would now happen to Spain, should a handful of our troops rekindle in that country the flame of liberty? Our soldiers would hardly reach Pam- Friona or Bourgos, ere the report of their march would pene trate to Lisbon, and the throne of Miguel would tumble into dust. Who dare also arm Italy against us--her former liberators, whose glory and fortune she shared, and the toes of whose alliance she regrets more than ever, since her fetters were riveted by the Hely Alliance ? Over that country the dominion is no more than •is that of the Sultan over that part of Europe which is temporarily kept under his authority. The first gun fired on the other side of the Alps would arouse at Pavia, Milan, and Mantua, 20,000 vete rans, who have followed our armies with honour, and would stir up all Italtfrom one end to the other. Italy, instead of ersollytoi arms to 11. de Metternich, enchains the political enemy olds* Cabinet of Vienna. Before engaging in hostilities against Franco, it must be labouring under the same disease as Ferdinand VII. and Don Miguel. We may say as much of Sardinia and Sicily. The most dangerous volcano which threatens the Court of Naples is not that of Mount Vesuvius. BUENOS AYRES, Sept. 19 INSTALLATION OF THE SENADO CONSULTIVO. At half past 12 o'clock, on the 16th inst. the Governor, ac companied by the Ministers, and by the greater part of the mem bers of the Senate, who have accepted their appointments, pro ceeded to the sale destined for their sessions. Each senator made oath to fulfil faithfully the duties confided in him. The Governor then addressed the Senate, noticing the deplorable state of the province, and that the first wish of the Government was to see it again possessed of its legal institutions, and doubted not that the honourable Senate would lend its patriotic aid to this sentiment. The Senate then proceeded to elect its President, and Doe Manuel H. Aguirre bad the majority of votes. General leant Azeuenga was elected Vice-President, and occupied providosolly the president's chair, the latter being absent Roos indisposidon. The Minister of Government then spoke, stating that the object in creating the Senado Consultivo was not only that the Govero meat might have the assistance of those citizens the most en lightened upon public matters, but also that the opinions and terms of all parties might be represented; and reiterated the desire of the Government for the speedy restitution of the institutions of the province ; that it was left to the discretion of the honourable Senate whether their sittings should be public: in that case they could assemble in the House of Representatives. A resolution of the Senate, dated Buenos Ayree, the 16th inst. and signed Miguel Azcnenaga, V. P. Eduardo Labitte, Sec. states that the sittings are to be private. We have given a detail of the official documents, decrees, Ste. which have been issued during the week. The state of the mousy. market looks serious. If not alarming. It was rumoured that Onsets had been done at NO dollars; but from inquiry we could not Sod that any thing had been transacted in them at prices beyond our quotation, except perhaps in small sums, but not suSelent to make a price ; 100 no doubt has been asked. Upon the London Stock Eschatrge, a price is not allowed to be quoted unkss 1,0001. stout has been bought or sold ; at the same time many suss enaniase done at prices very different from the actual quotation' Various causes have been assigned for the panic in our inseheta The refusal of several of the newly appointed senators to mar, thus conveying an idea that the peace may be disturbed,—ommer ous exports of gold and silver, &c.,—all these causes may hot* great effects. It should likewise be recollected that gold and silver have now become a scarce commodity in Buenos Ayres; selkts are scarce, and the least demand causes a gees! and sudden rise. It bas bee n always an axiom amongst knowing jobbers, that it is preci.ely the time to buy when things seem at the worst ; but probably such doctrine will not hold good in this market,—it is too private, too confined ; therefore the simile falls. Some important measure have been adopted, with a view to the increase of the revenue. An impost of one dollar per head is laid upon all cattle introduced for the consumption of the city, sod 19 l reels upon that fur the use of Saladeros. Hides of all dew* tions to pay one dollar duty each ; tobacco and yerba of Parignap t Corrientes, and Midtown,. 10 per cent ; snare, 20 per cent ;Ws el l foreign manufacture, 9 dollars each ; and foreign salt S dollars per fanega. These measures are to go into operation on the Ist of October next. Don Ramon Lures. in a note to the Minister, dated Buena. Aires, sth kW. states that the salary allowed to him as Paslime of the National Bank, viz. 6, 000 dollars per annum, he shall disul-1 butt monthly, in equal parts to the Schools of headlands, and to the Female Orphans' College. 1 be Minister, Don Tomas Guido, in reply to the above, states that the Government highly appreciates the pogroms the of Seabor Laura, in conferring so great a benefit upon establishments so Important and interesting. General Manuel G. Pinto has addressed a letter, dated the 4th inst. to the Minister of War and the Maxine, mating, due during the limited period for which be accepted the dim of.

A notice has been given from the Treasury Department, el its intention to suspend the payment of several bills of exchange, Is the hands of various individuals, drawn by soot of the Goverearaiiiiiiil the kneeler provinces, until it receives the authorizedeo Of the ensuing Legislature. The bills mentioned art as follow 10,000 dollars each, and one of 5,000 dollars, in favour of Aaron Castellanos; one of 9,105 dollars, and soother of 11.19114611w6 reels, in favour of Robert Mae:Aster ; one of 6,000 and mem at 4,561 dollars 4 real., in favour of Chiming, brothers; one of 1,246 dollars 6 reek, in favour of Antonio Tsboada. A letter from the Post-Master General, Juan Manuel de Luca, to the Minister Don Tomas Guido, states, that owing to the dis turbsices which have existed in the interior, the mails for Peru, Chili, Santa Fe Ike. have been detained in the post-olice foe the last ten mont hs, and hints that it would be advisable beocefor ward to dupe& the mails only twice a month to the above places ; that this prometlins will make a considerable saving In the expenses of that digsillwice, which under the present regulation is enormous, without probsclng any beneficial result. If the Gov ern er ment should agree to this measure, Se Luco proposes mail for Chill should be made up on the Ist and 16th of every mouth, for Peru the 30th sod 26th, and for the north the Sib and 19th. Tarawa.—On the 15th instant was performed a sentimental comedy, to a very fell house. Sentries were placed in the pit, and In the lobbies of the pit and boxes, in consequence of the re cent political squabbles ill and about the theatre. It is the first time, since the year 1821, that the military have been on duty in the interior of the theatre. THE EVENING STAR. / )1( . wve n ib /Cites PI OATIS LONDON. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17.

We are glad to announce that the Meeting of the Merchants interested in the South American Trade, alluded to some days ago in our Paper, has this day taken place ; that an Association has been formed, and'a Committee appointed to . frame the regulations for its future guidance. There WAS an article in the Courier of Tuesday, written in a spirit of disingenuousness and detraction, with re ference to the abolition of slavery in Mexico, which ' ought not to go uncontradicted. The writer says : " were there any considerable number of labourers held in pro perty in Mexico, it would have been incumbent on the Government, before passing such an Act, to have pro vided for the indemnity of the owners." If the Courier were really as ignorant of this fact—as he affects to be— we could inform him that there are large slave estates in Mexico, notwithstanding the pre-disposition from climate to a life of ease, on which theoretical refinement he bases his denial of their existence. As to the indemnity of which he speaks, our uncandid contemporary knows that such " indemnity" s made a condition in the DECRAZ of the Executive, but . contingent on the finances of the Go vernment. Such misrepresentations are as despicable as they are mischievous. As we fully anticipated, the negotiation with MM ROT and CHABIOL to patch up the POLIGNAC Mi nistry, has been broken off : for it seems that the whole of those to whom overtures were made, have been attacked by the Gazette de France. The Constitutionnet of Monday, contains an article on the state of the Ministry, which will be found in another column, and deserves particular attention. The concluding paragraph touches with great force on a subject which we treated at some length a few days age,—namely, the probable, or rather inevitable effects of foreign intervention. From what we have already said on this subject, it is needless to add how entirely we coincide with all the sentiments of the writer. Having so frequently warned CHARLES X., and those by whom he is now surrounded, of the fatal consquences which must result from a perseverance in their present course, we are highly gratified to per ceive the moderate tone and temper with which all the points at issue are discussed by the liberal Press. Nothing could be better calculated to furnish at once a reply to the detractors of rational freedom, end attain the great objects in view. Whatever its results may be, the pending contest in France is detiply interest ing to every country in Europe. It would, indeed, be a very confined view of the matter, not to feel that the friends of freedom in Franco are eon- tending for the triumph of the only principles which can secure the future happiness and well-being of civilised so ciety. It would appear by an article in the Cosarier Francais, that the Portrait of Ha st ensw has been seized by the Police at Paris, and that its exhibition, without leave, renders the offender liable to punishment ! Paris Papers of Tuesday are received this morning. The Coestitutionnel has an article from St. Petersburgh which is highly important. It sets forth that, the greatest activity reigns in the chanceries of Foreign Affairs, and at the War Office. Couriers arrive daily, or set off in all' directions, either for different parts of the empire, or for other countries. It was stated confidently that, at the be ginning of the present month, Maillhalll PARKE WITSCII and Di Earrsc it, as well as other distinguished Generals of the army, had been summoned to the capital, in order to be present at a grand Council, where several questions of momentous import—and especially relative to a new or ganisation of the army—are to be discussed. The Grand Duke Cowsvaxvi N a was also expected in the capital before the end of the year. Except the regi ments of the Imperial guard, which are on their way to Petersburgh, no measures seem to be yet taken to recall the troops which are to take up their quarters for the winter. It is further determined that all the corps belong ing to the active army, are to take up their winter quar ters in the Turkish provinces ; and that they shall continue to receive, from time to time, such reinforcements as may be necessary to complete and strengthen them. Comment on these mighty preparations is quite unneces sary. The threatening attitude of the AUTOCRAT—his ambition, and his power, must ere long demand more se rious reflection than seems yet to be bestowed upon them by the European Cabinets, and particularly by that of England. It is said, that the Duke of WELLINGTON proposes to remodel the Liturgy of the established Church: it can not, however, surely, bk affirmed with any seriousness, that the Noble Duke is himself to be the re-modeller ? This were, indeed, preposterous. Nevertheless, now that the public attention is directed to these matters, we could not excuse ourselves if we remained altogether silent on a proposition of so Much importance to the community.— We have long perceived with concern, that the retention of certain passages in our FORK of PRAYER—which do not indeed belong essentially, neither to the doctrines nor practice of Christianity—has been the means of con tinuing in exclusion from the Church a great multitude of conscientious and devout persons, who believe as im plicitly in the mission and divinity of CHRIST, as our- I selves of the establishment. The cancellation, or modifi cation of these passages—in such a manner as to bring within the pale of one worship all those who do not in trinsically differ from it—it must be acknowledged, is a llgrand desideratum : and so far from weakening, would strengthen in a material degree by the unanimity which it would superinduce, the moral power and conse quence of the Protestant Church. In a letter, which has been addressed lately to the PREMIER through the channel of a Morning Contem porary, the alterations, of which we are now endeavour ing to show the desirableness, have been—as it seems to us—insisted on with too much of flippant specification. The four incipient verses of the LITANY, no doubt it would be expedient to modify ; but great care must be taken lest, in so doing, we scandalise many more than we conciliate. To the doxology, which the writer sub stitutes for that now in use, there could—we think— be no reasonable objection, seeing that it is perfectly scriptural; and seeing, also, that the " honour and glory" which are attributed in it to GOD are attributed " through JESUS CHRIST, for ever and ever." But we do not coincide with him, concerning the substitution which he proposes in the Apostles creed : on what prin ciple does he object to the passage—" he descended into hell ?" Why would he needlessly interfere with the scripture expression—which " hell" is—as if it required to be softened for polite ears ? We all know that, in its immediate acceptation there, it is synonimous with 'the grave; but still—he descended into " the grave," would not convey the full meaning : it would be an ex ceptionable variance. For although the SAVIOUR did, in fact, only descend physically into the tomb, it is understood and believed that —by that descent—he took off the curse of original con demnation, and delivered us from the power of hell, in the awfuller sense of the expression. Saint PETER—alluding to the retrospective efficacy of 'Cu RIST'S passion, from the benefit of which no humar. creature is to be excluded—even goes so far as to justify our retaining the word in its moat extensive signification: for he says—talking of CHRIST in the grave—that he went and preached unto the spirits in prison, which I sometime were disobedient, when the long suffering of GOD waited in the days of Noah. By which the apostle means, that he preached redemption to those who were dead in the curse—who had died between ADAM and the advent : and this is, literally, the light of salva tion ix hell. We think this is a strong reason for not meddling with that expression in the creed; and we do not apolo gise for our exposition, since it has been wrung from us by the false argument of others. Concerning the al teration of the LORD'S PRAYER, we confess that we feel an equal tenderness : in fact, that such an al teration would be unjustifiable. But as regards that creed, called ATHANASIAN, we think entirely with the correspondent of the Chronicle ; and heartily ari t air--with Archbishop Tra.t.orsow, and many other Archbishops—that we were well ridof it. It is a libel upon the Spirit of the Gospels, and a blasphemous usur pation over the consciences of our fellow Christians. We recollect souse years ago, after hearing an *impost and ingenious discourse in vindication of this creed, at the Chripel of the British Embassy in Paris, that we had t;:di s advantagf a few days afterwards of discoing he with the preacher; and when we urged, gam& Ike istoastory clause which it contains, thi beadlall re- buke of Jaws—" Who art thou, that judgest another man's servant ? To his own master he standeth, or falkth"—the champion of ATUANASIUS was dumb. We are aware that discussions of this nature are better in any place, than a newspaper: but when we see two of our contemporaries dedicating to such, a large space in their columns—one, opposing himself to liturgical revision in Coto ; the other, advocating even &falsifi cation of scripture—we feel it imperative to interfere. We shall resume this subject at a fitting opportunity : in the mean time, let it be well understood that we are converts to the necessity of revision—though we cannot suffer any interference with the words of Scripture. But mind : it is of the LITURGY, only, that we speak. The Flanders snail this morning brought us the Prussian State Gazette to the 11th, and the Journal de la Belgique to the 16th instant. The former contains an interesting notice of the safe return of the celebrated traveller and naturalist, Baron Hu m aoLDT to St. Peters burgh from Siberia ; and the latter conveys to us from Brussels a just expression of indignation on the subject of the new project of law to fetter the liberties of the press. The Royal Message on this subject is exceedingly foolish. The day is gone by for such restrictions. The following are our selections : BRUSSELS, Dec, 15. The Journal of Astute" contains the following article : In the Sitting of the Second Chamber yesterday a very long Royal hielsage was read, with a project of law to repress the abuses of the Press. The Message observes, that in the midst of peace abroad, and the prosperity of the several branches of the national manufactures, 'owe evil disposed persons have abused the last law relative to the Press the most liberal that exists in Europe, to sow discord, dissention, religiose hatred, and party spirit : that it has become an imperative duty to repress these excesses by severe measures. His Majesty recommends this subject to the wisdom of the States GeneraL After entering into long details on the execution of the Coscor dat, the responsibility of Ministers, public instruction, and the attri butes of the Provincial Estates, his Majesty concludes by hoping that his constant care for the happiness of his subjects, will never be overlooked either by his contemporaries or posterity. The project of Law recognises the principle that all the acts oldie Government may be discussed with temper by all the journals and periodical pub ['cations :—lts proposed enactments are, that whoever shall attack the authority of the King, or the Members of the Royal Fa mily, shall be punished with imprisonment front two to Ave years. Sentence of imprisonment from one to three years shall be pronounced against him who shall attack the heads of the Ministerial Departments, and the Members of the States General wish a view to deprecate the existing laws or the such's tigy of the Government : a repetitlun of the aline will be punished by increasing the penalty by one half. Prosecution tor this law must be brought within three months. BRUSSELLS, Dee. IL The Ministers project against the liberty of the press has ex cited a general outcry of disapprobation. The Journals of the provinces are filled with remarks on this unhappy conception. It is reported that the City of Amsterdam has offered the Xlag a loan of 100 millions of Satins to meet the expenses of the Csoveta meat, if the budget should be rejected. A letter from Amsterdam of the 15th, quoted by the Cberier Ustreend, positively states that the merchants of that 'city have offered the above sum. Thus all difficulties are removed; all fears of the bad consequences of the refusal of the budget vanish; thus the treasury overflows with resources far beyonOts demands, since the amount of the annual and decennial budget neither was lee than 78 millions. On the other band, a journal of the northern provinces says the the Government is nearly certain of a majority in favour of the budget.--Jestrosal de fa Belgipe, 16th Dec. ST. PETBRSBURGH, Dec. 2. Accounts from Tiflis of the 13th November say that Field Mar shot Count Paskewitsch bad arrived there on the *hot that month. Oa the sett of last mouth the Imperial Academy of Sciences had an extraordinary meeting in honour of the illustrious traveller Ba ron Alexander Von Humboldt, Go his happy return from his jour ney in Siberia. After the reading of several interesting papers by different members of the Academy, Baron Von Humboldt delighted the company by a most animated account of the result of his scien tific expedition, in which he also took a view of the progress et the study of the physical sciences in Russia, under the protection of the Government. The numerous audience, among whom were the Grand Duchess Helena, Duke Ale:eider of Wortemburg, most of the Foreign Ambassadors, the Ministers of State, and the prin cipal Clergy and Civil and Military Odin, listened with the most profound attention for above an hour to the Instruction and die course of the great naturalist, and paid a just tribute of admiration to his multifarious knowledge, his acute spirit of investigation, and the eloquence of the language that Sowed from his lips.

We have received from the City, an article which pro bably may appear in some of the columns of our evening Contemporaries. It is, in fact, a violent tirade, dated La Guyra, October 22, but evidently manu factured in the same quarter as the preceding libels cir culated with so much industry against the Liberator. Since SANTAN DER'S arrival in Europe, and the offence taken by certain Continental writers at the exclusion of their works from the universities of Colombia, as not being calculated for the ardent youth of that country : several of whom had even justified their intended crime of assasaination upon the doctrines they most unwarrant ably imagined and inaintained, were taught in them. But as the article commences by a manifest falsehood, namely, that General BOLIVAR had succeeded is being made President for life, with the right of choosing a successor, when it is notorious that the constituent Congress, by which he can alone be elected, does not assemble till the Ist of January, 1830, and that, in fact, no such transaction had occurred, we do not think it worthy of further notice. Bausszu, 12th DEc.—Some Journals have again announced, that the diamonds stolen from the Palace of the Princess of Oaccrox have been recovered. Is it the object of this false intelligence to cause the search after the authors of the robbery to be relaxed or discontinued?
