Paris Papers to the 10th inst. have come to hand, .and among them is the Journal de Paris, which bad been suspended. This sespension, the cause of which we noticed yesterday, seems to have been for one day only ; and the boasted liberty'of the French prim ►s again evinced in the permission given to the Publisher of the Journal de Paris to exercise his calling, slid in the silence of the other Papers on the *abject of the coup d'iluiorile, which gave such an unfortunate contradlltSlott to the effusions of their self. -complacency regarding the terms on which the Editors and Publishets reported themselves to be with their PROP, Tim STATESMAN; imata;....;:z-. • • MR.

Previous to noticing t h e articles of intelligence which these Papers con onara,tempted to remark on the singular piece la&itlee feeling and affectation of , indignation width the Gautier of last night put forth in mention ing the etfppr.ssion of the Paris Journal. The Cettrieencribe. who could hear of all the Publishers and Bitters of Papers in England, his own worthy se( gapted, being Imprisoned, aye for life, for a ra,,ecess fault than even a casual misrepresentation, witiniut offering a syllable of complaint, or a word: in their behalf, now fumes and now deplores over the idea of a French Journal being suppressed for a single day. Contemptible hypocrisy ! and this unex pected appearance of sensibility in the eyes of the crocodile is called Ina* Icy one of the most pene trating and reel!) , manly Metropolitan Journalists ! But the days of wonder and political combinations of. the most jarring materials are not gone by. 0 ! the Times, when such offensive and defensive leagues take place! The French paws bring accouats from Vienna to the t2Oth ult. I'M articles thus firnisbed, relative to the Congress, ire of importaece, end there will be found some other particulars of interest, regarding the same subject, in the extracts from the German Pt. pars, also come to hand to-day, which we subjoin. The Kiug of Saxerny is to be re-established, hat with the exception of certain cessions; Austria, Russia, and Prussia retain their portion d Poland : stfe never expected better of them ; nor] do we believe they would have consented to the ar- ' tenement announced respecting the Saxon Monarch, if they had not been compelled to it. The Constitu tion of Germany Is completed. It is definitively ar ranged that the States of Gertnany shall form the Germanic Confederation. Prussia, independent, will form no part of it. FREDERICK is to have an Imperial title to console him for the lois of Saxony. The Emperor of AUSTRIA is to be heredi tary Emperor of GERMANY. RUII3IIIII evidestly very ill-pleased at not getting the whole of Poland. Sbe is collecting an immense army, which is to be placed under the command of Count Benwiesetr.— A Russian view of the political projects and ha. lances depending at the great Congress, is given la an extract of a letter from a Russian Officer at Vienna, in another page. The negotiators have had some hsrd•boets. Count Nessecsons, the Russian Mi nister, and Lord CASTLE/MAD/I, it is said, "hare al ternately been threatening to shut the Baltic against ' their respective countries. This is one reason for wishing that the power of doing so should be lessened on the part of Russia. VU rata, Nov. 20.—The political horizon was much tr o ubled on account of Prussia' and Saxony.— Firmness has again made it clear. All the reguia. lions for the entertainment of the Sovereigns are now only settled from one ten days to another, because they think they shall soon be able to depart. It seems that the three great Powers ardently wish for the time when, by publishiug one or two Mani. (tutees, they shalt be able to open the eyes of the world. Ulllll9 new obstacles arise, the results of the Congress will he published on the 7th December, and the Ambassadors depart about the end of that goonth. The laitiated pretend that the affairs of Poland are settled. Austria will not give up the Polish pro vinces, because their commerce too mach affects the interests of Austria. .
