FOR: FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Feb. 1.) PARIS, JAN. 31.—The German Journals received this morning bring no news from the East. The Augshurgh Gazette has a let ter from Berlin, in which a hope is held out that the Russians will not under take at second campaign. This hope is founded on the moderation of the Emperor, and the necessity in which the Sultan is to yield to the expressed will of all Europe. A Journal of the Netherlands affirms that M. Van Gobbleschroy has offered his resit na tion to the King, and that he persisted in it till it was at length accepted. The foPowing is an extract from a letter from Patraq, dived Dec. 3U :—" The plague at Calavrita has eansed great uneusine-7 in the army. It ha.! been imported by a young Albanian woman. After her death her hrothers hastened to open an enormous chest full of Allies. All died the next day. The inhabitants immediately burnt the house, aed placed that part of the tO - wn under quarantine. The fiost succeeded, and the disorder has disappeared." M. Paul Barras, formally President of the Exe cutive Directory, died yesterday, at his house in the Rue de Chaillot, he ace of 72. It is known that he has left Memoirs which will soma be published. (From the Quotidienne.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) FRANKFORT, JAN. 27.—We yesterday received letters from Lemberg, in Gallicia, which announce, that sine* the arrival at Warsaw of several couriers from St. Petersburgh, the Grand Duke Constantine displays the greatest activity in the immediate organization of the Polish army, of which the per sonal equipments and the materiel are perfectly ready. The destination of this army is doubtful, and gives room to a thousand conjectures. Will it make the approaching campaign on the Danube ? or will it -confine itself to the observation of Gallicia, where there is, it is known, a very considerable corps of Austrian troops ? It will not be long ere the decision be known. We learn from Vienna, that a.report is prevalent there, that the Government has received despatches from Constantinople, relative to the note lately pre sented to the Reis Effendi, by Baron de Ottenfels, the Imperial Ambassador, in which it is stated that the Porte has at length determined to listen to the propositions made by Austria, France, and England, to put an end to the war with Russia. The interven tion of the three Powers has given rise to a supposi tion, to ivhich some credit is attached, that the Rus sian Cabinet will give up some of the pretensions which it advanced at the beginning of the campaign of 1827, and which it will be difficult to get the Ottoman Porte to assent to, especially since the raisin , ' ' the siege of Silistria. The Marquis of Dreux-Breese, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies, was buried in Paris with great pomp on Friday. M. Gravier, one of the Secretaries of the French Embassy at Vienna, has gone to Semlin, to receive and to expedite the couriers bringing despatches from M. Jaubert at Constantinople.

LISBON, JAN. 20.—The official part of the Gazelle iontains A notice, to the effect that his Majesty, hav ing been informed of the active exertions which some persons are making to k►uy up horses and mules in all parts of the kingdom in order to be exported, as well by land as by sea, for the wicked purpose of anni hilating and diminishing the internal force of the kingdom, his Majesty, in order to check such per nicious and wicked purchases, is pleasA to order that every person, without regard to his condition, who shall he found implicated in this scandalous crime, shall be immediately arrested, tried, and fined in three times the value of the cattle taken from him, and sentenced to ten years' banishment to one of the fortreses in Africa, and the informers shall receive the reward which the laws prescribe in such cases. (The Lisbon Gazettes to the 25th of January are chiefly filled with military promotions and appoint ments.) LISBON, JAN. 24.---For some days past, a change of the Minist►y has been much talked of, and the following have been mentioned as some of the in tended alterations:— FINANCE.—Joze Accursio Neves, in the room of Count LOUZR. \VAR.—Count de San Loureno, vice Count de Rio Pardo. MARINE.—Joze Joaquim da Rosa Caelito, rice Lcite. AGRICULTURAL REPORT for JANUARY. Wheat, besides tieing a most extensive crop, Almost univereaPy a strong and good plant upon the best lands fully tittered and stoolad, no material image having yet occurred ; the same may le said of winter tares, clover, and seeds of every des cription ; but the last year's seeds were a defective crop, with the exception of hop-clover or trefoil, Clover and sainfoin, though considerable in bulk, are yet poorly in seed, whether as to quantity or quality. The lands are generally in great forward ness and ready for the seed furrow. Fine malting Barley is very scarce, and must be dearer; the crop having been large, it may be supposed the inferior surplus will be used to some extent in the country as horse-feeds, which will have considerable effect in moderating the excessive import of oats, hay and fodder a all kinds declining in price. It is remarked that Wheat and Barley only are dearer at the pre sent than at the same period in 1827 ; all other farm produce cheaper.—Monthly Magazine. ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN FOR Btsworso A T WA RD. -Yeliterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the Lord Mayor attended by the Common Ser geant and the City Law Officers, proceeded to the School room, in Sun-street, when his Lordship opened the Ward mote ; and then, as was exrected, Mr. Sheriff Copeland and Mr. J. Flower Deve, the printer, were each put in nomination, and several of the Electors made long speeches. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Dove, when Mr. Copeland demanded a poll. which commenced. Both Candidates expressed themselves confident of success. The Doll will continue for three days, and a scrutiny is already determined upon, whatever be the result ELECTION FOR DARTMOUTH.—Yesterday se'rinight, at twelve o'clock, the Mayor and Burgesses of Dartmouth aaaembled for the purpose of electing a Repre scntative for that Borough, in the room of the late Colonel Cooper. A. 11. Holdsworth, Eq. Was proposed by Henry Holdsworth, Esq., and seconded by John W. Clark, Esq., and there being no other candidate preach", he Wail accordingly duly elected, which was confirmed by three hearty cheers. A similar case of raising and carrying off a body, occurred late at Kildrrniny, this shocking brosiness being now general, even to the remotest parts of the country. It in high time, therefore, that Government, by some strong legislative enactment, effectually pot a stop to snch unhallowed outrages, by which the country is kept in inch a state of alarm and agitation.—Aberdsen Chronicle. PORTRAITS OF THE WEXT-PORT MUR PERERS.—The We•t-part murders still continee to excite n lively interest among all classes of the community. A bookseller's window in - Coltege•street, in which portraits of the murderers and a tew of their victims are exhibited, is surrounded with crowds from morning to night ; and, within this day or two, the portrait of Dr. Knox lout been added to the group—a thing which has increased the num ber of the gasers.—Elgin Courier. A gentleman of the ta,e4iealprofession, on calling to ere a patient at Jaen, in Cheshire, saw a journeyman painter ;eery busy cleatnirq the family pictures, same of which were tv Vandyke and Lely, with soft soap. " I shonld think, said my friend, " you would rub out these pictures with so mach cleaning." "Oh yes, sir," replied the painter, "we often do rob them out, bet we always putt them in again." LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY S, 1829. On Wednesday last we first stated that it was reported in well-informed quarters that the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Ministry had come to a resolution, at the Cabinet Council held the clay before, to settle the Catholic Question. That report has since obtained such general circulation and credence, as to leave little doubt of the wise —the patriotic—and, we may add, the indispen sable resolution come to by Ministers. So much is said upon this subject in another part of our Paper, that we deem it unnecessary to enlarge upon it here. Those who wish well to their country must sincerely rejoice that the Duke of WELLINGTON sees the absolute necessity of composing the agitatio❑ of Ire land, and that he is determined to adopt the only means for ac complishing that purpose. Let the question of Catholic Emancipation be but once settled, and men will wonder that a measure so simple—so easy—, and, withal, so just, should have been so long delayed. National peace— and individual, as well as national, prosperity will be the certain consequence of a measure which embroiled the country for no conceivable purpose, but to answer the designs of the insidious, or to forward the selfish views of the interested. It was a commotion apparently kept up for the peculiar advantage of those ill-omened birds who could only exist in the storm. The timid were fearful of something they knew not what, till their very apprehensions became alarming from the vagueness of the ideal danger. And it was the purpose, because it was the in terest, of the designing to work upon this feverish apprehension. The consequence has been the establishment of Brunswick Clubs. These Clubs, from the absurd manner in which their in stigators frequently conducted themselves, have tended rather to defeat than to promote the object of their institution. Even those most conscientiously opposed to the Catholic Ques tion began to see the necessity of settling it in order to do away with the pretence for establish ing such Clubs ; for what with the Catholic Asso ciation in Ireland, mad Brunswick Clubs in England and Ireland, the Government of the Country was virtually paralysed in its actions, if not set at defiance. And could a Govern ment, who possessed the power to correct so great an evil, simply by doing justice, hesitate to act ? The answer will be found next Thursday in his MAJESTY'S Speech from the Throne—the most auspicious, the most gracious Speech that has rung in the ears 01 Parliament for a century. It is whispered that the conditions on which Catholic Emancipation is to be granted, are the immediate suppression of the Catholic Associa tion, and the Disfranchisement of the Forty Shilling Freeholders. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 27th tilt. contains an article from Berlin, which an nounces, that though the Emperor of RusslA is making the most extensive preparations for continuing the war, yet he is sincerely disposed for peace : BERLIN, JAN. 19. Though the most extensive preparations aro mak ing in the interior of Russia for the vigorous con tinuation of the war, many well•informed persons are of opinion that there will not be a second cam paign, but that the negociations for a peace, which had been commenced, will lead to the result desired. This expectation of peace is founded on the disposi tion of the Emperor of Russia, as well as on the friendly relations of the Christian Powers. A hope is entertained that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!' will be induced, by the representation of the neutral Powers, to relax a little in its demands upon the Porte, and render it more easy for the Sultan to accede to as arrangement of the differences. It is of course Greece, and the last declaration of the Powers will be accepted by the Porte, and that as soon as the Ambassadors of France and England have returned to Constantinople, they will employ their influence with the Porte to restore peace with Russia, and that they will find in the Sultan the same spirit of moderation as the Emperor Nicholas. But should these hopes be disappointed, and the Porte deeeie all these calculations, it is thought that a second campaign may still be avoided, because the Powers, convinced of the truly pacific sentiments of the Emperor Nicholas, would then all declare against the Porte, and throw upon it the responsi bility of continuing the war. The Sultan and Li; Ministers who now look forward with great uneasiness to the renewal of hostilities, especially in Asia, notwithstanding the greatest infatuation, and most unbending national pride, will hardly expose themselves to the danger of provoking a declaration of all the great Powers, announcing their firm re sdutiort to maintain peace, and to require the Porte to give way in certain points. The negotiations re specting the affairs of Greece are continued at Lon don. It is said that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has formally assented to the declaration of the 16th of November in every point, and accedes only in a certain degree to the proposals of France, which were entered in the Protocol at the same time. The exchange of couriers between Paris and St. Peters burgh is very active. It has not been possible to effect an amicable adjustment of the differences between Hanover and Brunswick, as his Highness the Duke would not accede to the proposals of the Courts which have acted as mediators. It is supposed, therefore, that it will now be brought before the VIENNA, JAN. 20. Yesterday evening the mortal remains of the Princess Metternich were conveyed to the parish church of St. Michael, where the obsequies were performed, and immediately conveyed to the Prin ces's family vault at Plass, in Bohemia. The inte rest which all classes of the inhabitants of the capi tal have testified on this event, se afflicting to Prince Metternich, was truly affecting, and afforded a striking proof of the attachment and respect felt for this distinguished Statesman. Yesterday morn ing thousands flocked to the chapel in the Prince's palace, where the remains of the Princess lay in state, who has been so suddenly cut off in the flower of her age, and whose amiable character had ac quired her universal esteem. At the funeral the crowd was so great that there was no room in the church, and an immenhe multitude remained assem bled in the adjoining square and streets till the me lancholy procession set out for Bohemia. VIENNA, JAN. 22.—Metalliques, 97 1-16; Bank Shares, 1,101. We have received Gibraltar Papers, of the 15th ult., being two days later than our former arrivals. They contain little that is interesting. The Lieutenant-Governor had ordered the shops to be closed on the follossing day, and every observance of the thanksgiving day to be ob served as on the Sabbath. The Rev. C. HARDY, chaplain of his Majesty's ship Melville, would celebrate divine aervic®• in the Conventional Chapel. An immense body of the distressed Spital fields Weavers passed our office this morning in procession to Downing -street, with a pe tition to the Duke of WELLINGTON, setting forth the urgent necessities of their situation, and respectfully imploring his Grace to institute some effective measures for their relief. The individuals that composed this procession were orderly and forbearing in their lan guage and conduct, and, we trust, will meet with every rational and fitting assistance. When, however, they represent themselves as victims to the Free Trade System, we cannot but imagine that they are either influenced by some strong feeling of delusion, or else arc the dupes of low, petty, self-interested chicanery. The system of Free Trade—one of the most enlightened and comprehensive that the human mind ever yet projected—has worked well in every other branch of commerce, and has, we are firmly convinced, little or no connection with the present Spitalfields' grievances, which are limited and transitory in their character. For the poor weavers, as distressed individuals, we feel sincerely ; but more sincerely do we sympa thise with the community at large, whose opi nions have sanctioned, and found their account in adopting, or at least encouraging, Free Trade. Honduras Gazettes to the 23d Nov. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, from whose columns we make the following extracts:— CENTRAL AMERICA.—The schooner rencedora arrived in this port (Belize) from Omoa, on the 18th instant, and a small boat came from Ytabel yesterday, which place she left on the 12th instant. The accounts these vessels' bring are confirmatory of our statements in former numbers, respecting the successes of the San Salvador troops. Charles Dashwood, Esq. has been appointed his Majesty's Consul in the city of Guatemala, vice O'Reilly, deceased. The following advertisement is important to the inhabitants, and is of such an extraordinary na ture as to be deemed worthy of particular notice, both to merchants as well as to the Government at home. QUALIFICATION OF INHARITANTS.—Whereas the Bill laying on a tax of . per cent. and passed at the last Session of the Legislature, will materially affect every person not duly qualified according to law to become an inhabitant, Notice is hereby Given.—That every person or persons who may have arrived in this colony since July, 1820, will, before they can be deemed inhabitants, be required to piothice at the Office of Public Records, his or their certificates, under the signature of his Majesty's Superintendant, and there be sworn in as such ; and that not until the expira tion of six months after such qualification, will any person or persons be entitled to the privilege of in habitants of this Colony. By order of the Magistrates, (Signed) GEO. WESTBY, C o urt-House, Nov. 11. - Keeper of Public Records. The Legislative Assembly met on the Bth of November. J. W. Wright, Esq., Chai rman . The ~~..~ ... ..... .........00.,,.. ancient law, imposing a tax upon the imports of non-residents in the colony. The Chairman, in pre senting a bill, which imposes a duty of 5 per cent. on all imports by persons not entitled to be consi dered resident inhabitants, entered into the subject, and observed it was the first principle soul natural right of every country, to make laws for its own preservation, and in a commercial country like ours, the primary object should be to protect legitimate trade, by giving an advantage to the resident mer chant.—This gentleman talks largely, and with much importance says is this just or fair, that after the settlers of Honduras had raised the colony to vast importance, and had established a trade by their own exerthns, I hat it should ha wrested from them by people who had never seen the country, who did not care for its wants. The bill eventually passed but we cannot but doubt the prospect it holds out to the coui, , ry, that the British Government will allow the continuance of such an enactment, which would end in transferring the trade of Belize to other parts, and leave it where it originally was, a mere miserable trading settlement. We are already aware that many other Commission-houses, whose in terests will materially be affected by this law, are al ready making those arrangements which will, and must, end disastrously to the prosperity of the set tlement, for a tax of 5 per cent. is destructiVe to all import trade of the colony. It is only for the benefit of a few individuals, and cannot be 41lowed to stand in the way of the numerous respectable merchants who have for many years devoted their best energies to its present flourishing business.

Delivered last week 661 puncheons, of which 268 were for export. The stock in the West India Docks yester day was 17,526 puncheons, and 1281 libels. Tonacco.—Considerable business is doing in Tobacco, both on speculation and by the trade, but principally by the former. It is now said to be the intention of Government to lay the additional duty on Stemmed Tobacco imported after the sth April next. If such he the case, the revenue will not be immediately limited, as it is calculated in the different ports of England there is sufficient for two years' consumption. The holders of Tobacco are very fi m r o m ne ; l fi af n: stemmed, 7d. to Bd.; middling, 6 id to 6/d.; common and short, sid. to sd. per lb.; com 31d. to 4d.; good do., qd. to 5d.; fine, sid. to 5/tel.

The commercial engOic is proceeding steadily in Paris. The subject, hefere the committee during the last week was not one of flinch interest to the English public. The inquiry related to the production of sugar from beet-root. A Mons. Blangtiet, end others, who have manufactured a great deal of sugar from this root, gave long evidence in its favour. They proved, by certificates from chymists, that the sugar so obtained is fully equal to the refined anger of the colonies ; and they estimate the profits of the manufacture e.t from 17 to 25 per cent., according to the extent of the capital employed and the nature of the soil upon which the beet root is grown.
