DECE,JIBER 25, isis. :Paris Papers of the 20th and 21st - have arrived since our last. - The Chamber of Peers, by'a ma jority of 91 to 44, has rejected the resolutions sent up from the Deputies relative to the. movability of the Judges. The rumours of au approaching war between Russia and Turkey are grea;.ly weaiicneil in credibility by the last ac counts ;—indeed no good grOund for hostilities: has ever yet been mentioned. The - French ninti continue to advance. At a late hour last night an express arrived Irmo Brighton with a report, which is at least so far credible that there- is nothing impossible or im probable about it. We. are informed that two Gentlemen. arrived yesterday at one o'clock, at Brighton, who left Paris on Friday morning' they relate that it was a current rumour in that capital, and had been published in the 'Blurs — Evening 'Papers, that LAVALETTE bA 4 - -:6caped from the prison of the Conc,iergerie- The account states, that the wife of LA VALLRTTE 1, n4, on Tnrsdav, through the lute" 1;•!I admitted rest cit thc Diic sq; N :21.) of tLe w;zl, :true: re !,.dance and grief, found himself compereci to reject her prayer for mercy. She obtained, bow-* ever, the permission to see her husband unre servedly, and without witnesses. She went ill co•lsequence on Tuesday and Wednesday sever al times to visit him, and each time, in a difreren r dress. On the last occasion of her going she 'e duced LAVALETTE to escape in a female dress, s na herself remained behind in the prison. About na hour afterwards the scheme was discovered , but . though the strictest search was instituted , " the passports of all persons leaving, Paris wer e minutely examined, it is said that LAVALETTE wa s not round. wc 4edare that we earag , pledge ourselves to this account, to - nn We observe from all the provincial Papers be- longi►►g to the northern part of our` Island, the winter has set in with great severity.

They are chiefly filled with Specula tions as to the policy or in►policy of establishing a chartered Bank, - under the title of " The - Unit' -cd States Bank." It -- appears certain, that M Madison intends to propose' such a measure t° the new Congress. Duane, of The Aurora, abaft' dons the defence of his old patrons upon this sub' jest. lle says, that it is meant to serve as tb e . " basis of a most stupendous pecuniary specu lation." The Baltimore and Charleston Papers are the 20th ult. The Treaty concluded between the American 'and Algerinc Governments, under the tenor of the Republican navy, are extremely fa" vourtble to the former. In addition to the enai cessions before stated, of money, shippinr. , other property, the Dev has agreed—" To all °. the Americans to send into their ports, and ala s pose of them, all prizes which they should c a r s , ture from any Power which the United Sttlibter should in future be ,e war with : and they f ur ;:r agree, that in case 'any Power should be a t 0 with the United - States, that Power shall.
