FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Friday, Dec. 23.) PARts, 2`.2.—Couriers who set out from t. Petersburgh on_ the 10th and 11th of this month have -brought the following accounts .—The death of the Emperor Alexander was known in this capital on the 9th. The Grand Duke Nicholas, after having announced it to the Empress Mother, called together the guard of the Palace, and took be_ .fore it the oath of allegiance to the Emperor Constantine the First. The guard took the same oath immediately afterwards ; all the commanders of corps, together with the general staff, took the oath and signed it, and then proceeded to receive the oath of the treops of the garrison. The grief of the people, and of the soldiers, has shown how --Inuch the Emperor Alexander was beloved and appreciated. It is known by letters from Warsaw of the 12th, that the Emperor Constantine had not FA quitted that city. (From the Etoile, datrd Saturday, Dec. 24.) PARIS DEC. 23.—Private letters from St. Petersburghan nounce, ;hat the Emperor Alexander, who had refused the aid of the physicians till the 2tith, confessed himself on that day, and from that moment received the aid of the physicians.— it would be in vain to attempt to describe the painful sensa tion caused at St. Petersburgh by the news of his death.— There is a cruel mixture of affliction and hope, with which nothing can be compared. The population of Moscow were in consternation as if they had witnessed a new disaster ; and the grief of the Empress Mother.exceeds that of any other person. She has lost a son, and the Russians a father. The Emperor Constantine remained shut up in his palace for thirty-six hours, blunged in the most profound grief, and refusing to see every ody, except the Princess of hocwitz, his wife. 'I he English Journals distinguish themselves by the decency with which they speak of the death of the Emperor Alexander, and of the principal events of his memorable reign.

Perm:mot:Tit, DEC. 24.—0 n Sunday last his Majesty's --ship Tees, Captain:Frederick Marryat, arrived from the East India station, having-,been in service upwards of four years and a half. Captain Alarryat has latterly been very actively em ployed in co-operation with the army at Rangoon. We learn that when the Tees sailed the rainy season had set in. The ad vanced part of the army was still at Prome, and had apparently . no intention of proceeding -up to Unimerapoora until December, when the rains would have abated. The Burmese had stockaded themselves within a few miles. There was no appearance of . any specific overtures taking place. Our army was by no means in a desirable condition. The difficulties to the transport of -- provisions were very great—the south-west monsoon was blow ing against a strong current, creating such a heavy sea in the Irrawaddy, that it was impossible for loaded boats to proceed, and the land carriage was daily becoming more difficult, from .heavy rains and loss of cattle. Donahue and Pamlay were held aS ports, but Bassein had been totally evacuated. Some hard fighting had taken place between the Burmahs, at Bassein, in consequence of some of them having assisted the English; the ..former had sent a deputation to Rangoon, for a supply of arms _and ammunition. The evacuation of Bassein, it was expected, would prolong the war, as the only supply of grain which - could be obtained at Ummerapoora had been thereby cut off. The troops belonging to Bundoolah (the Burmah Chief), at Donabue, and of several other Chiefs, were in that direc ...tion—mostly at Lamina, where the Bassein and Irrawaddy • . rivers form a junction. The disposition of his Majesty's ships, . consequent upon the necessary cessation of hostilies, was as follows :—The Alligator and Arachne were at Rangoon, thatched- over for the rainy season ; Captain Alexander was ... at Prome, Captain Chads at Rangoon. The Sophie, Captain liyves, on her return from Rangoon, was obliged to.throw her guns overboard, and being found leaky and unfit for further active service, she was sold to merchants. The crew were to . be conveyed to Trincomalee in the Tamar, to be sent home thence in the Liffey, whtth was refitting there for her passage ;homeward. The Larne had sailed for Penang and New South Wales. Commodore Sir James Brisbane had left Madras in the Boadicea, for Calcutta, in consequence of a very unplea sant altercation which had arisen between Sir Archibald Camp . bell and the Navy, the former having persuaded the Governor- Gezeral to put all the Company's naval force under his com mand. This had been previously attempted,• and successfully • resisteck by the naval officer formerly in command. When the ..order was issued, Captain Gordon Bremer was dispatched to _Calcutta to remonstrate ; and the Governor-General requested to have a personal interview with the Commodore upon the _subje.ct. A freight- of twelve lacks of rupees was put on board 'the Boadicea at Madras, to take up to Calcutta. It appears that our able and determined foe, Bundoolah, was formerly a pirate in the Irrawaddy ; his address and courage . were such that he defied the Burmah Government; and his force was increased to such an extent as to render the river im _passable, and cut off the communic a tion. with the capital. The _passable, Government, not being able to reduce him, offered Lim high honours and the command of the army, on condition of his coming over to them, which terms he accepted. He is .described as a very ill.looking old man, with one eye. Bun eloolah had posted himself at Donahue very much against his Prome w,as the post which he wished to defend, being *place of immense - natural strength ; but the jealousy of Prince Seirrawaddy, of whose dominions - Prome is the capital, would not allow of such an arrangement. The Tees spoke an American brig from Batavia, the master of which stated that the Javanese had .gained great advantages over the Dutch, and were ready to give up Java to the English if they would accept it, adding, " Send out Sir Stamford Raf fles, and all will be yours." His Majesty's ship Ariadne arrived at St. Helena, from the Cape of Good Hope, on the iith Nov. This morning the Shipley transport, Lieutenant J. W. Pritchard, Agent, arrived from South America, whither she took provisions for the squadron, and has returned with Govern ment stores and invalided seamen. She left Valparaiso on the 6th September, and Rio on the 4th ult. At.theformer place his Majesty's-Chips Cambridge, Briton, Tartar, and Mersey, were lying ; the Tartar expected to sail for England. in a few days. At the latter place she left the Wellesley (flag-ship), Diamond, and Jasseur, all well. Rear-Admiral Gage will hoist his flag on Tuesday, in the Warspite, 74, Capt. W. F. Carroll, C.B. f or the E as t I n di a command. On Tuesday the. Dotterel, 18, Captain Edwards, sailed for the North American station ; Wednesday, the Harlequin, 18, Captain James Scott, for the West India station ; Thursday, the Convalescent ship Magnificent, Lieut. Mundell, for Ply mouth (where. Commissioner Shortland and family will em- - bark) and Jamaica. On Wednesday, the Mastiff; Capt. Copeland, went out of intrbour,litted for surveying in the Mediterranean. On Wednesday the Clio, 18, Captain Strangeways, arrived from the River, with Marine Society boys, for the West Indies (they were put on board the Magnificent), and she returned thither the next day.. On Thursday the Bittern, Lieut. Dwyer, sailed for Plymouth. This day the Tees,.Capt. Marryat, sailed fOr Chatham, to be paid of}': the Magnificent, put back with foul winds; and the Royal Oak (fitted for a Convalescent Ship at Bermuda) went -out of harbour' and will sail in a few days with the Governor of that island, and many other officers, going out passengers. tternain—Glasgow, Tweed, Mastiff, Royal Oak, Magnificent, and Dromedary..

On Monday., the Superb, 78, was paid off, and recommis - sinned by Captain Henry Hill. Sir Thomas Staines gave a sumptuous farewell dinner to his officers (by whom he is sin cerely esteemed), at. the George Inn. During the-two years this ship was actively employed only five of her crew died, out of 730 men, and not one was sent to the hospital on her ar rival from Lisbon. On Thursday the Spartiate was paid off, and recnminssioned by Captain Frederick Warren. A party of iioyal Marines, under Captain Robert Hall, embarked this morning on board this ship. The Dryad, Captain the lion. R. Rodney, Proctis, Captain the Hon. W. Waldegrave, and Brisk, Captain C. Hope, are the only ships fitting at Chatham.

An American ship, the Pactolus, has arrived at Cowes from Batavia, after a passage of 103 days. The papers and letters brought by this vessel were received last might at the North and South American Coffee-house. Their contents are highly important, as regards the Dutch possessions in Java. An insurrection of the natives had broken out in the neighbourhood of Surnarang. Many of the Chinese had been killed, and a number of ► ice and coffee plantations destroyed by the natives. En several actions, the insurgents had been success ful,and the whole European population were called out to perform duty. The following are extracts from private letters received by a mercantile house extensively connected with the Island of Java :-- BATAVIA, AUG. 5. It is said that the New Dutch Company who were alleged to have no exclusive priVileges are to have all the Government Coffee for twelve years to come, at 23 rupees, according to agreement with the Government at home. This, if true, is a heavy blow against _the property of these Colo nies, inasmuch as the means of remittance, already too small, will be reduced in the proportion of two fifths, and our Ooyernment here condemn the measure much, but they are deep in debt with the mother country, and this perhaps has been found the only means of liquidatin7, it, witout duly attending to its consequences. No doubt they will next have a monopoly of the tin of Banca, and the spices of the Molucca, his Majesty being the chief partner of the Company. • By a publication, dated the 29th ult. vessels having gun.. powder and arms on board as part of their cargo, destined for other ports, are no longer liable to be sent away without being permitted to land any cargo, as hitherto been the case ; but they are to be permitted to land, and ship-cargoes, like any other vessel, only taking away with them those contraband articles. BATAVIA, AUG. 80. The insurrection in the Coffee Districts in the centre of the Island being more sesious than was at first apprehended, the insurgents having hitherto received no check. The absence of most of our troops on fruitless expeditions against the Bugges at Macassar and otherwise, excites some uneasiness, so that the Militia are called out and put in training. From this duty foreigners residing here are not exempted.
