FAENCII PAPERS. (From the Monitcur of Sunday, Dec. 18.—Official Part.) 'PARIS, DEC. 17.—Dispatch transmitted from Strasburg, Dec. 17, in the afternoon : THE MINISTER or I'ftANCE AT BERLIN TO THE PRE- SIDENT OF TIIE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS. " The Emperor of Russia has died at Taganrog, after a few days' illness. " The exp Tess which brought this news set out for Warsaw on the Bth of this month. " The Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael had not set :out from that capital for St. Petersburgh." (Front the Journal des Debuts of Sunday.) PARIS, DEC. 17.—We stop the press to insert the following •note, which we received at ten o'clock in the evening. The ,event which it announces cannot fail to have the most serious -consequences in the present circumstances of Europe. " The news of the death of the Emperor of Russia having been received at Court to-day, the soiree which her Royal High ness tha Duchess of Berri was to have to-morrow evening will not take place, in consequence of this event.--Saturday, Dec. 17." N. B.—When we received this note, the following article was in the press : we think it proper to give it without changing a word. A German literary Journal, the Feuille de Converse tzon contains the following observation:— " The Rcryal Prussian Calendar, as it is every where sold, gives in a single line a piece of news which interests more than one part ofthe world. In the list of Sovereigns we find as usual, under No. 3, the Emperor Alexander of Russia, but the follow ing line is added Heir to the Throne, the Grand Duke Nicolas, brother to the Emperor, born the 25th of June (6th 7 1 4), 1796." This notice is important, heCause the source from which it comes does not permit its correctness tube doubted. We do no more than faithfully translate the Germaa article, but the political journals of Germany will doubtless inform us what weare to: hink of this Lille, which is very important, if true. We have long since known that the Grand Duke Con atantine;had no children by his first marriage, and that the children-he may have by his second marriage cannot inherit the throne of Russia ; but no public act is known by virtue of which the - Grand Duke Constantine is. personally excluded from the succession to the throne.' This Prince is sufficiently young,. and so long as he is not formally excluded from the throne to which he is called by the order of succession ests blished by Paul 1., the Grand Duke Nicolas is only the even. tual heir. Let us wait for what will be said and published at St. Petersburg, for it is difficult to preserve silence. We have just received, by an extraordinary channel, news from Lisbon of the 4th of December; and we can confidently afErm, that the state of the King of Portugal's health is not at all alarming. His Majesty bad nearly recovered from the dis order in his leg, and was expected at Lisbon, from Marra, the 6th inst. The Leahlade man of war sailed on the 23d for Rio de Janeiro, having on board Senhor Mathias de Pereira, Charge-d'Affaires of Portugal at the Court of Brazil. He car ries the ratification of the treaty concluded us the 29th August between his Most Faiththl Majesty and the Emperor of Brasil. (Front the eontiitutionnel.) FaarrarmtT, DEC. l3.—(Extract of a Private Letter.) — According to letters from St. Petersburgh, the opening of the conferences relative to the affairs of Greece, notwithstanding the arrival of Lord Strangford, has been deferred till the return of the Emperor, who was expected the first fortnight in De cember. Nevertheless, preparatory and confidential conversa tions frequently take place between Count Nesselrode and the new British Ambassador, though the latter has not yet been presented at Court, and ias not paid the usual visits to the other members of the diplomatic body, except to the Ministers of France and Austria, with whom lie has had several private interviews. The inclination of the Emperor Alexander to maintain the peace of the world being sufficiently known, it is thought that in case of a difference of opinion, this monarch will rather yield to the views of England than oppose them, at the risk of seeing- that peace disturbed. The Russian nation :continues to testify , the greatest interest in the fate of its unfortunate fellow Christians. A war undertaken with con trar,yviews would be disapproved by public opinion.

COURT 'OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was held yester. day at Guildhall pursuant to a requisition received by the LORD MAYOR, to take into consideration the report of the General Purposes Committee on-the petition of the Ward of Cripplegate Without, relating to the state of their representation in this Court, 'And on other special affairs. EQUITABLE. LOAN BANK COMPANY. Kr. Alderman WAITHMAN said that, haying been prevented by indisposition from attending the Court during the last six months, he wished to obtain some information from the Re membrancer as to what had been done relative to the Charter of the Equitable Loan Bank Company. Although the pre sent distress did not solely originate with that Company, yet the present spirit of gambling originated with them. Among the names of the persons who applied for the Charter, he found thoseof Sir William Cotgreve and Mr. Thomas Clarke, per- SODA who were principally concerned in getting up another scheme, the subscribers to which held a meeting recently, and which they kept as private as possible ; but, notwith standing all their secresy, certain facts . had come before the public not very creditable to the parties concerned. It appeared that the Directors of a certain Company bad appro priated 15,0001. to their own use. The predictions he had made some time since, as to the result of the late mania for specula tion had been completely verified. After the Equitable Loan Blink Company started, a thousand other equally delusive schemes followed. Although engaging in such speculations had been by some people called madness, yet it appeared to him there was "a method in their madness." The Directors well knew what they were about when they appropriated a certain n.uritber of shares to their own use ; and the only persons who could be considered mad were those who had been duped by their promises and the inducements held out to them.' He thought it was worth the while of the Court to consider whether some Measure of a general nature ought not to be adopted, and a petition presented to Parliament to inquire into all the delu sire schemes recently agitated. He would not • pledge himself to bring forward any motion upon the subject at present,tut he certainly would on sonic. future occasion. The REMEMBRAIiCEIt then read the minutes of the pro ceedings of the Court relative to the above Company, withwhich the Worthy Alderman expressed himself satisfied. CItIPPLEGATE WAItD. SAVAGE rose to bring forward his promised motion upon the subject of the Representation of the above Ward in the Court of Common Council. He regretted be had not an oppo' rttynity of doing so at the last Court, in consequence of the multiplicity of business on that day. The object of the petitiOrters was to equalize the representation of the Wards of ()Applegate Within and Cripplegate Without, and to make such increase to the number of their representatives as the Court might think proper. Mr. S. then asked the Town Clerk to read the Resolution of the Court, when a smilar Vetition was presented to the Court from the inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without, in the year 1736, which being done, _ _ Tie LORD MAYOR said, that as the question could not he decided in sufficient time to be of any advantage to the Ward during the present year, he would suggest to the Worthy Gentleman the propriety of adjourning the debate until the next Coint. Mr. SAVAGE, however, moved that the petition be read, which was seconded by Mr. Stevens. Mr: Or.ristear said, he hoped the Worthy Member would Withdraw his motion. Ile had no objection to go into a full con sideration of the state of representation in the Common Coun cil, but he looked to the matter generally, and not to one case particular. He had an objection to make •in amine, which ,was, that the precepts had already been issued by the Alder men for the election, and the number of persons to be chosen cduld,,not be increased without a new precept, which could not be obtained until the next Court of Aldermen. The RECORDER said, that so material an alteration could not he made without the sanction of the Corporate Body. The CITY SOLICITOR was of the same opinion. Mr. Alderman WAITIIKArr said, there could be no doubt nut. did the Ward was independently represented, and he would recommend the Court to come to some resolutions upon the subject first, and afterwards proceed in the manner pointed .out by the City 'law Officers. Mr : , OLDnragt then moved, that the consideration of the question be adjourned until the next Court ; which was, after a short iliscussiost between Mr. Galloway and Mr. Favell, AMA " THE LITE EIIPMIOII. OF RUSSIA. We ye,sterday hrielly announced the death of this great Potentate. The dispatches corn"' municating this important event to our Go vernment came from Berlip. Theintelligence was transmit pd by our Ambassador, the Earl of CLANV.ILLIAm. Mr. WILLIAMS, a King's Mes senger, was sent off early yesterday morning, with dispatches to Ths MAJESTY,_ at Windsor, to announce the important event. ' The last accounts received of his Imperial Majesty stated that he was then at Taganrok, or in its vicinity, making pre parations for a grand review of the different corps d'armee stationed in that quarter of his vast dominions. The Em peror and Empress had visited Taganrok chiefly on ac count of the salubrity of its climate, and to benefit the health of the Erripress, who had derived much advan tage from her residence there during the autumn. At that time their Imperial Majesties took airings on foot, or in their carriages, every "day, in the town and its neighbour. hood, and appeared greatly to enjoy their residence. The fortifications of Taganrok have long gone to decay, but its trade had greatly increased, and the population of the town amounted to 1.1,000, chiefly Greeks. On the 23d of October, the Emperor set off on an excursion to Rostow, Nakitschevau, and Novo Tcherkask, which was expected to last about a week. Ile was also expected to make a fort night's tour in the Crimea. Subsequent letteA from Saint Petersburgh mention his visit to Novo Tcherkask, where there is a military establishment of the Don Cossacks, with which. his Imperial Majesty was well pleased. Me after wards proceeded to inspect several posts,. and continued his journey to the Crimea, whence he returned to Taganrok, probably about the 10th or 12th of November, as intelli gence of his arrival had reached Saint Petersburgh on the 24th of that month, and it was then thought that whilst he re mained at Taganrok, he would review the corps forming the Russian Army of the South. It does not appear that this review took place; probably the Monarch's intention was arrested by the illness which terminated in his death : and as the news of that melancholy event appears -to have reached Warsaw about the 7th of December,. -his illness and death may he nearly fixed in the last week of November.-- His Imperial Majesty was born Dec. 23, 1777, succeeded his father, the Emperor Paul, on the 24th of March, 1801, and was declared Czar and King in 1815. He married Oct. 9, 1793, Lonisa Maria Amelia, now called the Empress Elizabeth Alexiowna, daughter of the Hereditary Prince of Baden; she was born June 4, 1779.. The Heir Presumptive to the Throne of Russia is the brother of the late Emperor Alexander, the Grand. Duke Constantine Cesarovitch, who was born May 8, 1779, and married Feb. 20, 1786, Julia, Princess of Saxe Co bourg, sister-to_h_is- Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Co bourg. This marriage was dissolved by an Imperial Ukase, dated April 2, 1820, and the Grand Duke married, secondly, May 24, 1820, Jane, born Countess of Grudzinska, and created Princess of Lowicz. CABINET MEETINGS. Probably there has not been a day since some important event had taken place during the late war as yester day proved to be with his Majesty's Ministers, who are in London, with the exception of the Lord Chancellor, whose necessary engagements in the Court of Chancery prevent his interference but very rarely, except at Privy or Cabinet Coun cils. The important business of finance, and the state of the money-market in general, which now agitates the country at large, combined with the mournful and important event of the sudden death of the Emperor of Russia, engrossed the whale of the attention of the Ministers from an early hour in the morning to a late hour at night. The Secretaries of state's Offices and the Earl of Liverpool's house, in 'Whitehall, were in the greatest state of bustle and agitation during the whole of the day, par ticularly the Noble Earl's house, which was the general resort of Ministers, Mr. llerries, one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, and official gentlemen of various description. At a late hour on Sunday night, said to be between 11 and 12 o'clock, Mr. Raisner, the valet of Lord Clanwilliam, our Minister at Berlin, arrived at the Foreign Office in Downing. street, with dispatches from the Noble Lord to Mr. Secretary Canning, announcing the mournful event of the decease of the Emperor of Russia.. Mr. Raisner did not leave Berlin till two o'clock on Tuesday, the 13th instant, at which time the death of the Emperor was not known in Berlin, with the exception of a confined circle; his Excellency Lord Clanwilliam had only known it about two hours previous to dispatching Mr. Rainner. • - Soon after the arrival of the dispatches at the Foreign Office, Mr. Williams, the King's Messenger, .was sent off with dis patches to his Majesty at Windsor, announcing the melancholy tidings; and two others of the King's Messenger's, with simi lar dispatches, were senyoff to Earl Bathurst and Count Li e v e n the Russian Ambassador, at Brighton : a messenger was sent to the Earl of Liverpool, at Coombe Wood. Yesterday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, the Earl of Liverpool, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Lord Bexley, arrived in London. These distinguished characters, together with Mr. Peel and Mr. Iluskiison, were in consulation dur ing the day, more so than the rest of the Ministers. Soon after four o'clock there was a general assembly of Ministers ; and in addition to those there were present—Mr, secretary Canning, Viscount Melville, the Duke of Welling ton, Mr. Wynn, &c. At a quar - ter Past three o'clock, the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England arrived at the Noble Earl's house, and were admitted to a consultation for upwards of half an hour. At tour o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived at the Noble Earl's house, and was admitted to a consultation for about twenty minutes. The Cabinet Ministers continued their general deliberation ;ill near six o'clock. LONDON UNIVERSITT.—The leading promoter 4 of this Company met yesterday at the Crown and Anchor TA vern. On behalf of the tribes who people the Grampian Hills, and the other northern parts of the kingdom, we observed pre sent on the occasion, Mr. Brougham, Sir James Mackintosh, Mr. Abercrombie, Mr. Hume, Dr. Gilchrist, Mr. A. T. Thom son, Mr. Thomas Campbell, cunt multi: alit:. For that part of his Majesty's dominions calks! England, Mr. J. C. Hob_ house, and Mr. John Smith, were in attendance. Mr. Baounn.ca being placed in the Chair, answered several questions relative to the - appropriation of the funds already subscribed for the purposes of the Company; but the answer was given in so low a tone of voice, that we were only able to catch the words " all right." The reply to an inquiry why the building in the neighbourhood of Carmarthen-street had not yet been commenced, the Learned Gentleman said it w as not considered they had as yei, a good foundation for their proceeding. Mr. Brougham then stated that the object of this Meeting was to elect a Council of Mana , ement, whose acts should be binding upon the Shareholders. Hitherto ' there had only been a Provisional Committee, whose pro ceedings could possess no other authority than what was de rived from their individual character. The Council, it was required, should consist of 24 members, and a printed List with 24 names on it was distributed about the room for adoption.— Dr. GILCHRIST objected to the printed list, as having the semblance Of dictation, especially as it was fitted up with the exact number of names to which it was proposed the Council should be limited. lie also disapproved of the plan of nbnii nating individuals to leading appointments in schemes of this kind. It would be much better, he thought, that no one should be treated as eligible until he sent a written intimation of his willingness to accept the appointment. They had had too many exampl es of p ersons di sc l a i m i ng all connexion whh Companies, at the head of which their names had long stood before the public, and it beho ve d t hi s C omp a ny to b e caut i ous lest they should fall into the same mistake. Some confUsion followed the Doctor's address, but upon a feeling appeal to the good sense of the assembly, as to the effect which the appear ance of a want of unanimity would have upon the share-list, the ferment was allayed, and a ballot commenced. Th e b a ll ot continued till half-past six, when the names were handed over I . to the secretary, without being made public. The Choral Society of these towns commenced their Concerts for the third season on Dies:lay last. A selec tion from the works of Handel, Beethoven, &c. was perform ed at the Beneficial Society's Hall, and received throughout de cided marks of approbation by a highly respectable and nume rous audience. The members of the Choral Society, and other musical friends, were highly entertained on Thursday evening,at the Beneficial Society's Hall,by Mr. Yatman,ro ho gave a Musical Lecture. The subject chosen was on the different moods used by the Ancients, which Mr. Y. illustrated by examples from eminent Composers. He concluded a very animated and in teresting Lecture by observing,, that as these towns could boast of a Philosophical and Literary Society, and of a 'Mechanics' Institution, he trusted this " fleaireu-born science'' vtonld* he taken up by some person, that the observations he had made might form a prelude to more useful information.—( Hamp ,shire Telegraph, Dec. 17.)

A Spanish schooner, which was taken and ransomed for 400 dollars, is now here, waiting► an opportunity to get safe to Carthagena. .The following is an extract of a letter, dated Rio de Janeiro, October, 1825 :—" Sir CHARLES STUART has concluded the treaty of commerce with this country; we understand that it differs little from that of 1810. This Go vernment would not enter upon the question of the slave trade, under the plea, that as they had no colonies from whence slaves were exported, they had nothing to treat about. With this, it is said, Sir C. Stuart was satisfied, and consequently sends the packet to Lisbon, so that the negociation may be begun with Portugal. Should this be confirmed, it is evident that the Drazilian Ministers have outdone Sir Charles in diplomacy." Notice, 19th 'amio. MIMI: OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 202 1 3 3 per Vent. Red. 3 per Cent.

The death of the Emperor ALEXANDEIt is likely to produce results in Europe of a nature very much opposed to those which have hitherto been looked for, and we think that Turkey and Greece will in the first instance feel the effects of the decease of this Monarch. Whatever might have been the ultimate wishes of the late EmPracsa with regard to Turkey, it is cer tain he pursued them with caution s and per mitted respect for the Peace of Europe, to restrain him from too ardent a pursuit, and to moderate his desire of adding any portion of the Turkish territories to his already overgrown Empire. lie policy of ALEXANDER was truly pacific, and I his 'influence as a m e mb er o f th e H o ly Alli ance has been often employed to give it effect. In this instance, at all events, the late Russian Em- PIIIOR is entitled to the respect of the world, and we confess ourselves far too well pleased with it, to stop and enquire what motives led to its adoption. Suffice it to say, Peace was his de sire, and Peace lie obtained. The right Heir to the Throne of Russia is the bro ther of the late Emperor, CONSTANTINE CZSARO VITCLI, and who, it seems, it was his brother's wish to pass over in favour of NICOLAS, the third brother, and to compensate CONSTANTINE by the Viceroyship of Poland. This intention, which had been partly manifested, will probably give rise to some intrigues and cabals, but fortunately, in times like the present, the contending for a Crown is regarded with different eyes than for merly, and people are more anxious for the Go vernment of the laws than nice as to the per son of the Sovereign, through whom they are administered. They feel they have no thing to gain by the success of either party, and that, in the strife, their rights, their pri vileges, and their properties, are disregarded, and, be the issue what it may, they only are damnified. It is, therefore, not unlikely that the principle of right by occupation will settle the dis pute, and vest the Crown in him who is so for tunate as to secure it first. CONSTANTINE is represented as restrained by no motives of policy. His whole ambition is to acquire possession of that city after which he has been named, and to reign Emperor of Greece, as well as Emperor of ItussiA. What effect this event is likely to produce upon the struggle in the Morea it is yet too early to anticipate, but with such intentions such an opportunity can scarcely be passed over, furnishing as it does a pretext (no matter how frivolous) in itli the first instance, and' (sh ou ld t 41 Greek fac tion turn th e i r e y es u p on this AS\iknt "to their* aeg o l Honours) givi r t og- him int once 'half of the whole he so ardently desires. Happily for the Sultan, Greece is not the only party to be consulted on this occasion. England, Prance, and, more than ail, Justria mus t be parties consenting to such a partition -- and, moreover, contemned, despised, and spit upon (by ignorance), as the Turks now are , their unbounded pride w•ill teach them to revolt against submission to foreign authority and s uch a division of their country. In such a struggle what may not be expected from a people s° - brave and so devoted to their country and t° nAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Alla It is not to be supposed that the nations of Europe could see in silence such a struggle) or behold without uneasiness the political con sequences which would naturally flow fr °l " it. They would say Russia ►must be restilia ed in the North, and we should hope, that feelings of honour and justice would not b e so cowed and so forgotten as on the occasion of the partition of Poland. But to return to the departed Emperor, if t he Monarchical system has lost a friend by death, the people have also to mourn his loss, fot although a w arm ad vocate for the privileges and pre' rogatives of a King, he was, nevertheless, a staunc h opposer of every attempt to encroach on the righ ts of the people, as by law established.
