The palace of Elysee Bourbon is undergoing a thorough repair, as is to be made the residence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Bordeaux. On the t Ith instant two young men of Bordeaux quarrelled over a game of dice, when one of them stabbed his companion with a knife, which caused a, most instant death. The mother of the deceased w.l informed of the catastrophe, threw herself in.( tr.:. river, r.nd was drowned. . .....e. u courier extraordinary, that the Spanish Curt,. ter linate.l. their sittings on the f)th of J.\tr ,uttnr. the King !Icing at the Esc'.rial, the President iu his name, the functions which the law assigns to his Majesty. The most periect tranquillity perveded the whole city, A ;oan of lova million: of ducats is now negotia ting with the h •usa of Guitturd, for the use of the Neapolitan government. STRALSUND, Nov. 4.—The Portuguese Ambas sador at the Gout: of Prussia, having acquainted the Alini.ter of the events at Lisbon and Oporto, proposed th..t all the Prussian ports shout.' be shut, to prevent the s.:"'ag of vessels for Portugal. He received an answer, 'Oat thc.gh 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 `ltertlicticn of that sort would be productive of great embarrass ment. The interest of commerce require that this measure will never he adopted, unless the Minister of Portugal give an assurance beforehand to the Prussian subjects that, a compensation equal to the estimated loss sha" made. GENEVA, Nov. 4.—A double assassination, the ! details of which seem to furnish the counterpart to that of the unfortonate Fualdes, was committed on the Ist instant, in the suburbs of this city, on the person of M. Corbox 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 not left behind them the least trace that can lead to a discovery. It happened, however, that the same night the murder was committed, twa young men, who were returning from shooting, alarmed a man who was carrying a porter's hod, and as he saw them be 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, carrying with them a quantity of effects, and leaving behind a trunk at a public-haute. The police immediately searched the ditch, and found several things belonging to M. Corbor, and among them some bloody 'knell. The trunk, also, was filled with things stolen after the murder. Some days afterwards, a well-dressed man, who was tra velling with a dealer in wine, ordered the coach man who drove them to call for the trunk at the house where it had been left. The wine merchant, nho had previously noticed that the hands and face of the prisoner were mlich scratched, now suspected him of being one of the murderers, and had him arrested. This was not done without great diffi culty. The assassin, who is named Machon, 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 ut Gex. Since that time, Madam 8., who belongs to a Emily of rank in the neighbourhood, has been arrested as an accomplice, and she has promised to reveal evety thing, upon condition of ber life being spared. A professor of Italian, who is also suspected, has fled. Six men and two women, besides Ma. chon and Madam 11., have been arrested. Machon is the captain of a banditti called " the Black Band." The gendarme who secured him was carried in triumph upon the shotiltlers of the populace to the town-hall at Genera, where he was publicly thanked by the magistrates, and rewarded with 50 Napoleons (4tl. 3s. 41.) Nov. 7.—Our police, and that of the contiguous districts of FraPt ilVoy, and of th e Pays de V au d, ars concerting means fur the discovery of the per petrators of th. • ,order committed on the IA inst. in the environs o this town, snit also of a band of robbers who !:.t% been committing depredations on our territory fie several months. The French gen &ramie of Gex have wrested an indiviecal under strong .uspieimis of guilt, and other arrests induce a belief that they are on the right tract. '1 he Stir. . . . dinian authoriti e s have active measures to prevent any suspicious character taking refuge in Savoy. Another bind of vitirants and deserters, partly Irma Milan and paint; from Ccnua, have coilecttil in the west of Switzerland, whence they make pl. - -datory ineuisions into the departments of Ain and ut Jura.

HAMDUROH, Nov. 15.—An account from Neiles of the 21st 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 he 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 zise or our course of exchanges on foreign countries (upon Hamburgh front 123 to 128 in one week) could have been caused,-and to hear what the Government was disposed'to do, in case they could not, or would not gueunntee . that the operati.ms should be more st.r.dy during the winter. M. Schwan, of the house of Schen and Co. in the name of all the merchants pre.ent. answered the remarks anil representations of the Secretary of State, point IT point.

Vessels arrived here in four days from Constanti nople bring intelligence, that in a popular tumult, which broke out on the 11th in that city, many fo reigners of rank and members of the diplomatic hotly were threatened. and great apprehens►ons were ex cited among the vessels then in lading. Our corn-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.
