FELNeII PAPERS. PAnts, Nov. 19.—The Casette de France, con tridie;ing its previous strement regarding the time when the previous statement regarding the time when the Chaniber:4 will meet, says, that 4' it is confidently stated they will not be convoked till the l3th of December, instead of the 3rd."_ The palace of Elysee Bourbon is undergoing a thorough repair, as is to be made the residence of his Royal llighness the Duke of Bordeaux. On the 11th instant two young men of Bordeaux quarrelled ever a game of dice, when one of them stabbed companion with a knife, which caused almost instant death. The mother of the deceased when intimmed of the catastrophe, threw herself in:o the river, and was drowned. We learn, by a courier extraordinary, that the Spanish Cortes terminated their sittings on the 9th of November. The King being at the Escurial, the President fulfilled, in his name, the functions which the law assigns to his Majesty. The most perfect tranquillity pervaded the whole city. A ham of four millions of ducats is now negotia ting with ihe house of Guittard, for the use or the Neapolitan government. STHALsVND, Nov. 4.—The Portuguese Andras sailor at the Court of Prussia, having acquainted the Minister of the events at Lisbon and Oporto, proposed that all the Prussian pons should be shut, to prevent the sailing of vessels for Portugal. He received an answer, that though the government did not recognise the new order of things in Portu gal, yet it could not undertake any hostile measure against that country; and that an interdiction of that sort would be productive of great embarrass ment. The interest of commerce require that this measure will never be adopted, unless the Minister of Portugal give an assurance beforehand to the Prussian subjects that, a compensation equal to the estimated loss shall be made. GENLTA, Nov. 4.—A double assassination, the details of which seem to furnish the counterpart to that of the untOrtunate Fualdes, was committed on the Ist instant, in the suburbs of this city, on the person of M. Corboz and his servant. Those two victims were found horribly mutilated in the house which they occupied at Plain Palais. It would ap pear that a long and hard struggle had preceded the perpetration of the crime; but the murderers have nut left behind them the least truce that can lead to a discovery. It happeiusl, however, that the same night the murder was committed, two young men, who were returning from shooting, alarmed a man who was carrying a porter's hod, and as he saw them he threw the contents into a ditch. A little farther off they met another man similarly burdened. On the following day they learnt that five men had crossed the lake, currying with them a quantity of effects, and leaving behind a trunk at a public-house. The police immediately searched the ditch, and found several things belonging to M. Corbox, and among them some bloody linen. The trunk, also, was filled with things stolen after the murder. Sonic days afterwards, a well-dressed man, who was tra velling with a dealer in wine, ordered the coach man who drove them to cull for the trunk at the house where it had been left. The wine merchant, ho had previously noticed that the hands and face of the prisoner were much scratched, now suspected hint of being one of the murderers, and had him arrested. This was not done without great diffi culty. The assassin, who is named Muchon, is a powerful man, and it was not until after a long personal conflict between him and a French gen darme that he was secured, and lodged in prison at Gm Since that time, Nladam 8., who belongs to a family of rank in the neighbourhood, has been arrested as an accomplice, and she has promised to reveal every thing, upon condition of her lite being spared. A professor LA Italian, who is also suspected, has fled. Six men and two women, besides Ma chun and Madam 8., have been arrested. .'Vachon is the captain of a banditti tailed '• the Black Band." The gendarme who secured him was carried in triumph upon the sho:4lders of the populace to the town-hall at Geneva, where he was publicly thanked by the maiOst rates, and rewarded with 30 Napoleons (411. f9s. 4c1.) Nov. 7.—Our polke, and that of the contiguous districts of France, Savoy, and of the Pays de Vaud, are cone:thug incaas for tlk discovery of the per petrators of the murder committed nit the lA, inst. in the environs of this town, and also of a baud of rubbers who have been committing depredations on our territory 14 several mouths. 'flue French gen darmerie of Gex have arrested an individual under strung suspicions of guilt, and other arrests induce a belief that they are on the right tra.l. The Sar dinian authorities have adopted active measures to prevent any suspicious diameter taking refuge in Savoy. Another band of vagrants and deserters, partly front Milan and panty from Genoa, have c Ilected in the tvest of Ntvitatriuml, whence they make predatory incursions into the departamts of A 4: ise , ! 4,f..!••ra. A THE NATIONAL REGISTER A report is in circulation, and litis obtained a considerable degree of credit, that the Grand Seig nor has ordered the assemblage td an areiy in the vicinity of Belgrade. ILIMBURGII PAPERS. -41.-- HAMDURGII, Nov. 1 5.—An account from Naples of the t Ist Oct. states that, the Palermitans required the English Consul-General (M. Lindemann) to have the English flag hoisted on all the forts, and to declare the whole island under the protection of England. They importuned him so much, that be thought it adviseable to leave the city and retire to the country. STOCKHOLM, Nov. 3.—A few days ago 40 mer chants and bankers of this city were sent for by the Secretary of State of Finances and Commerce, in order to explain how the unexpected rise of our course of exchanges on foreign countries (upon Hamburgh from 123 to la in one week) could have been caused, and to hear what the Government was disposedito do, in case they could not, or would not guarantee that the operations should be more steady durir"r the winter.

ODESSA, Oct. 17.—Our journal contains an offi cial notice from our Ambassador in Constantinople to the Governor of this city. Count Langeron, that the Turkish Admiral of the squadron employed in the Mediterranean against Ali Paella has declared all the Turkish ports of that part in a state of block ade, except the port of Lepanto. Vessels arrived here in fimr days from Constanti nople bring intelligence, that in a popular tumult, which broke out on the 11th in that city, many fu reii,rners of rank and members of the diplomatic body were threatened. and great apprehensions were ex cited among the vessels then in lading. Our e.ern-prices are still very low, in spite of the large consignments to Marseilles, London, and Con stantinople, and notwithstanding the great number of vessels which have arrived within this fortnight to fetch cargoes.

We have received files of American Papers to the 24,d ult. including- Halifax to the 2d inst. The accounts received in the Unites], States from Buenos Ayres, to a late date, state that city to have been iu a great commotion, in consequence of an army of 2 to 3,000 men, men, under the command of Generals Lopez, Alvcar, and Carrera, being in the vicinity for some time, and harassing the inhabitants, cutting oil' their supplies, &c. These troops, it appears, wished to place Alvear at the head of their govern ment, which was evaded and strongly opposed. During the last live mouths no lest than fourteen difibrent governments or factions have been is power, which had occasioned a complete stagnation in trade, and many &milks had left the city. Ac counts were received at Buenos Ayres, that Artigaii had destroyed the army of Gen. Ramirez, at Entre Rios. The Portuguese, it is said, hole to the eastern side. His Catholic Majesty's ship Ceres, from 'loran. nah, had arrived ut Carthagena with flour. Three G►iucamc►t had arrived ut St. Jago de Cuba front Africa. The Gen.
