e FRENCH PAPERS. ,se,eger of Saturday.) The President of tic Ci,: , ::,t;er of Deputies has issued the folowing n. , tice The standing orders of the Chamber requiring that tier s: ould be held every Satur day a sitting devoted to the consideration of petitions, a regulation which the President is not authorized to dispense with, he firds himself under the necessity of holding the sitting thus fixed. It has, however, been eppeinted at two o clock, in order to give all the latitude possible to such of the Deputies as wish to perform the painful duty of at•ending the funeral of their bon. colleague, M. Dulong. Even at two o'clock, if the Deputies have not returned, the sitting will not proceed farther than the reading of the minutes." The Ministerial Evening Journal says—" hlost of the papers to-day speak of the funeral of M. Dulong in proper and measured terms. We hope that the factious will contptehend this language. It is our duty to add to this prudent counsel, that if any turbulent persons should be tempted not to follow it, the authorities have taken the measures necessary to prevent and instantly put down every attempt at disorder. All well-disposed citizena may rely upcn their vigilance." M. Legendre, Deputy of the EurO, and M. Poubelle, Secretary of M. Dupont de l'Eure when be was Minis ter of Justice, set out on Thursday night for the residence of M. Dupont, to express to him how deeply the Depu ties, assembled in the morning at the house of General Lafayette, participated in his grief for the loss of Al. Dulong. _ . . As early as nine o'clock this morning an immense con course of persons surrounded the residence of the late M. Dulong, the front of which was hung with black drapery, bearing the rather unu'ual exhibition of the name of the deceased deputy in large letters. At eleven o'clock pre cisely the melancholy cortege began its march. The hearse, drawn by four horses, was preceded by a com pany of cuirassiers, and surrounded, as well as the Depu ties who followed it in great numbers, by a very strong force of infantry of the line. The procession was closed by another company of cuirassiers, and followed by a very considerable crowd, many of them of respectable nopearance, but the greater number apparently of the working classes. The litter were formed in ranks ex tending to the breadth of tie Boulevards, and linked arm in arm. Up to the hour of going to press not the slightest symptom was manifested that might lead to fear a disturbance of the public tranquillity. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of Bayonne, of the 28th ult., gives the following extract of a letter, of the 18th, from Madrid M. Burgcs and M. Zarco del Valle will retain their offices as Ministers of the Interior arid of War. It is, however, stated as certain that M. Burgos will he superseded by M. Marcoso, who, as well as the . .. . new Pritn;slinister; was in the Cabinet during the Con- stiwtional Government. It is also asserted that M. Fon % tagu , l Girgollo, Director of the Sinking Fund, is to be appointed Minister of the Finances, which at present is on:y filled ad interim. This last personage is decidedly o i lpo al to a foreign loan, and will not accept the appoint ment unless this idea be abandoned, and unless he is allowed to seek within Spain herself the means of cover ing the enormous deficit in her finances. Mina, it is said, is about to be made Captain-General of the Basque pro vinces. The Count de Colombi, Spanish Ambassador at Paris, is superseded by the Count de Torrene, who was lately exiled. General Saarsfield, who has just recovered from a very severe illness, remains at Madrid." The Memorial Bordthis, of the 29th ult., Las the fonowing from Bayonne, dated the 28th :—" General Quesada, just appointed Commandant-General of the Forces of Biscay, Navarre, and Guipuscoa, is expected at Pampeluna with a rein'orcement of 10,000 men, a force more than sufficient to pacify the insurgent provinces. We learn from Aldudes, under the date of the 24th ult. that the insurgents evocuted Alie,coa last Monday, bearing with them ccnsidera' le booty, obtained by plundering the villages of that valley, and a great quantity of arms arid tnilitary equipments which the Government had distributed to the Aliescoans. The insurgents captured and led away with them the only two constitutional canons of Ronce- vaux." Tee Augsburg Gazette of the 28th ult. states, after a letter from Nauplia, that on the 26th of December Dr. Zuccharini, chief surgeon of the Greek army, visited Furt lterkale, in company with other surgeons of the staff. It became a question among them whether it was practicable to climb the rocks towards the sea. Zuccharini said he had already done so during a former stay at Nauplia, and instantly began the ascent; but he had not made much progress before a piece of rock gave way, when he was precipitated headlong into the sea, and met with instant death. His loss is much lamented. He was a man of considerable skill in his profession, and bad acquired some literary celebrity. This paper announces that the Hanau Gazette has been prohibited throughout the State of Hesse Darmstadt. It quotes the Funds at Vienna on the 23d ult., Metallique', Five per Cents., 95 21 32; ditto, Four per Cents., 851; Bank Actions, 1,2231. The Berlin Stale Gazette of the 26th ult. quotes Prussian 4 per Ceuts. 971, 97 ; ditto, 5 per Cents. (1822), English Loan, 103, 103. The same paper statee, after a letter frcrn Berlin, dated the 21st ult., that among the rumours prevalent in that city was that of a visit from the Duke of Orleans, who is said to have expressed a wish to become acquainted with the Prussian army and its institutions. The Frankfort Gazette of the 29th ult. announces that his Britannic Majesty has been pleased to confer the Grand Cross of the Royal Guelphic Order on Thomas Cartwright,Esq., Ambassador to the Germanic Diet. We learn from the Jura, under date of the 23d ult., that " the resolution lately come to by the Grand Council of Berne, as to a revision of the Federal Compact, has Hot made so strong a sensation as was expected. The in difference of the greater part of the cantons as to any change in the existing constitution, and the repugnance manifested by the whole of Switzerland to the system of unity, must convince every impartial man that the period when the partisans of centralization will meet with success is still very far distant."

PARIS, FEB. 1.-The delays and difficulties relative to the commercial treaty, of which I spoke in my last, appear to have been duly appreciated on your side of the water, and steps have been taken to bring the negotiations as speedily as possible to an issue of some kind. Dr. Bow ling, one of the Commissioners who have been negotiating the commercial treaty for the last two years, has just been sent over here by your Ministers, with instructions to that effect. His exertions have already brought matters into a s'a'e of forwardness, from which it may be hoped that uncertainty will not continue much longer to hang over the subject. A project of law for the proposed alterations in the tariff has been discussed in a Cabinet Council, and agreed upon; it has already received the King's signature, and is to be bra light into the Chamber of Deputies on Monday or Tuesday next by the Minister of Commerce. Its ultimate fate in the Camber can hardly be decided before the end of February ; but in whichever way that fate will have to settle the negotiations between the two Governments, it is fortunate tha t the project is to be brought into the Chamber before the budget, otherwise it would have had hardly any chance of hieing considered this session. The public mind in the capital has been lately thrown into an unusual state of eicitement by the circumstances attending a duel fought between General Bugeaud and M. Dulong, in consequence of the epithet of geolier applied by the latter to the former, during a recent discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the duty of military officers to disobey orders which may be contrary to law. General Bugeaud had acquired in France a notoriety pretty nearly similar to that of Sir Hudson Lowe else - where. Since his return from Biaye, he bis been doing all he could to make himself still more remarkable, by a zealous advocacy of the interests of the juste-milieu party, of which he bas long been a member. It was the same sapient per sonage who, in reply to some remarks by Messrs. Odillon Barrett and Mauguin on the culpable abandonment by the French Government of the cause of Poland, observed that be was at least as competent as any avocets to speak of military matter., and therefore that he could take upon himself to inform those two gentlemen, that an army of not less than 500,000 men would_ have been required to aff,ml any effective assistance to the Poles. Geuetal Bugeaud has, then, contrived to make himself a remarkable adversary to the opposite party in the Cham ber, if not a very formidable one. M. Dulong was nearly equally remarkable on account of his abilities and the active part he has taken in the proceedings of the Chamber ever since he has sat in it. A duel between two such persons could net have failed to engage public attention here, even if it had not been attended with extraordinary circum stances. M. Dulong, as you will see by the journals, re ceived his adversary's ball in the head, and died twenty hours afterwards. This would certainly not have happened, and the duel would have been avoided, if a ministerial evening paper had not taken upon itself to declare that M. Dulong had apologized to General Bugeaud for the offen sive expression, in a letter which was to appear in the Journal des Debate on the following morning. There ap peared to be a great deal of manoeuvring in all the business, in which higher personages than those who figured were made to seem as if taking a part with the view of rendering the duel unavoidable ; and the King's name having subsequently been mixed up, with the occurrence both the Opposition papers and the personal enemies of the Government have been endeavouring fur the last two or three days to affix upon it the highest political importance. The death of M. Dulong has certainly produced a painful impression in the Chamber of Deputies, and among his friends and ac quaintance, a great number of whom announced their intention of attending his funeral, which took place to-day. The whole Republican party bas been in motion for the purpose of making this funeral procession an cccasion for their expression of political feeling, and it was very speedily rumoured throughout Paris that ao emeute Was contemplated. Measures have therefore been taken by the Government to prevent any disturbance of the public peace, and I am happy to say, that up to the moment at which lam writing, no symptom whatever has appeared of any disposition to that effect. General Bugeaud meanwhile appears in public in the same way as if he had no man's life to answer for, and will, as is always the case in this country, escape prose• cution. In France the widow of a man killed in a duel is the only person who may prosecute ; and where there is no widow no prosecution takes place. The survivor's friends and acquaintance, unless he become a professed duellist, and succeeds in killing some half dozen people, treat him as if nothing wbatevef bad happened. The reports rela'ing to a probable change of Ministry here have not been renewed of late, anti circumstances have transpired by which it is made to appear that no cause will be given for any change. Marshal Soult and some of the other Polinisters have held several consultations with the Members of the Commission appointed by the Chamber of Deputies to examine the budget, and the re sult seems to have been that the Marshal has given tip his claim to credits supplementaires for 60,000 men,—that is, he consents to reduce the army to 310,000 men. He has, however, declared that he cannot make any further reduction, and that if the Chamber will not vote the sup plies for exactly that amount of the regular force, he and all the Ministers will resign. The Chamber will, according to all present appearance, pass the remaining part of the war budget without any attempt to modify it, so that there is no great risk that the Marshal's threat will have to be carried into effect. It begins to be very generally believed here that M. de Rayneval, the French Ambassador in Madrid, is to be recalled, but nit on account of the dismissal of M. de Zea, as it was said some time ago that he would be, if M. de Zea went out of office. The French Government is, it is said, disewisfied with the view that M. de R tyneval has latterly taken of the state of Spain, horn which it had been led to consider M. de Zea's system as the most judicious, and likely to be attended with great benefit to Spain. No one has yet been fixed upon as M. de Rayne vat's successor. It was said a day or two ago that Duke De Cazts bad been I ffel ed that embassy, and had accepted it. Ido not believe that the Duke De Cszes has been for a moment thought of about this embassy. Besides, it is well known that his views of office are much nearer home. He still entertains a hope of getting into the Ministry, should a new one be called for by any circumstance, and he continues to think that the Pt eidency of the Council could not fail, in such an event, to devolve on him. Since writing what precede., I have seen several per sons who have attended, and have returned from M. Dulong's funeral. They report that it was atended by a crowd nearly as great as that of General Lamarque, hut unlike the•day of that General's burial, things passed off in the most peaceall. manner. There were troops in the procession and stationed along the whole of the Boulevards through which it had to pass, and the whole body of Sergens de Ville and Municipal Guards (the gendarmes under former governments) were in requisition to over awe the eviLdisposed. Several legions of the National Guard had -also received notice that their services might be required. You see from all this that no small im portance was attached to the occurrence of the day.— Times.—Z. GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, JAN. Congress is busily occupied, but nothing transpires as to what is going on. The Fes veral Members despatch snd receive couriers in succession which leads one to attach some importance to the suljecr now under debate. A calm prevails in the political world. The Funds have suffered come variation, but there is no doubt of their rising considerably as soon as any of the acts are made known. We have no nen a from the East ; all is quiet in Italy. The King of Strdinia is about to reduce his army. The Duke of Lucca, who is expected here, will first go to Rome. A courier has arrived here with despatches from the Russian Mission in Italy, probably relative to the affairs of Spain. In the course of a year a Chamber is to be held in Siebenbergen. M. Ancillon is expected from Berlin, to take a part in the proceedings of the Congress. An English courier has been sent from Constantinople to London, with the news of the submission of the Egyp tian Admiral, Osman Pacha. The truth of this event was ecarcely credited even in the Ottoman capital. In Pera many inferences were drawn from it ; indeed Osman's example may act strongly on the Egyptians, and be even tually of great service to the Porte.

Lows& Etas, JAN. 18.--We are informed, upon credible authority, that the Governments belonging to the German Diet, who have joined in the Prussian system of Customs, have agreed among themselves to fix a peremp tory and short period, within which other States may he admitted into the association ; and after which all other Governments will remain excluded for the rest of the terms of the Convention—that is to say, for eight years. Intimation of this resolution has been sent to all the Northern States of Germany which have not joined the system, inviting them to come to a decision as to their accession to the Convention.—Frankfort Papers. Faoat AUSTRIA, JAN. 18. —Our paternal Government appears to pay the greatest attention to the preservation of pubic tranquillity in Hungary. It is particularly vigilant that, in that country where the existence of much inflammable matter cannot be denied, an explosion may not be caused by foreign emissaries, and inflammatory writings. Thus the traveller of a great hookselling firm in the south of Germany, who had been permitted to travel without obstacle through Bohemia and the German provinces of the empire, could not obtain permission from the passport-office at Vienna to go to Ofen and Preshurg, as he requested. On his inquiring the cause of the refusal, he was plainly told that orders from high authority bad been given on this subject, which were, doubtless, founded on the present state of Hungary. Pitussra, JAN. B.—Should the Congress of Ministers at Vienna be of longer duration than was at first expected, it is likely that M. Ancillon may still attend, as his health is much improved. We ate very anxious about the results of the Vienna Conferences. It is believed that with respect to the representative constitutions of Germany, and their functions, only such regulations will be made as will prevent, as far as possible, any collision with the sovereign rights of theseveral Powers, as well as with the organic laws of the Confederation. It is evident that the grea'est prudence will lie required. An English courier from London has passed through here on his way to St. Petersburgb. He was said to be the bearer of further communications respecting the affairs of the East. These are as good as settled. The French Government seems to have greatly contri buted to this result. That Government is now particu larly anxious to act a conciliatory part, and is now taking pains to put an end to the differences with Sweden. Experiments are to he made here with a new kind of musket, whit',, if they succeed, will make a great change in milit try matters, and render the ramrod nearly useless. It is well known what care is devoted to our army, and it may therefore be expected, that if the new muskets should be introduced among us the use of the old ones must cease in Europe. Mursuctx, JAN. 23.—The numerous deputations and addresses that continue to come to his Majesty from many towns to express their gratitude for the conclusion of the commercial convention, prove the satisfactio❑ with which 1 it WAS universally received, end the confident hopes that are founded on the new proposals that it opens to the trade of German•. Our intercourse with Gr. ece has become more regular since the establishment of packet-boats, and is very bri.k. The accounts from that country continue to state that tranquillity prevails there. Isolated bands of robbers are captured or pursued by the gendarmes. Prince Cinadja has just left us to go to Vienna, and then to Berlin. It is hoped he will return to Munich in two months. The official journals of the Greek Regency of the 4th and 9th December, announce that the Government has corrr icted for two more picket-boats to ply between Greece and Leghorn, Patras and Trieste. A decree of the Government fixes the number of ecc'esiastical dioceses at 10, the same as that of the Circle. The chief town of the Circle is the See of the Bishop; where the Mon well resides a Commissioner of the Circle is also to reside. The number of Bishops is still 40, but when one of the present Sees bec:mes vacant it is not to he filled up but incorporated with the future Diocese.—Frankfort Papers, 28th Jan. BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JAN. 29.—Some surprise may have been excited by the delay in the pultlication of the nomination of M. Goblet, as Minister at Berlin, and M. Serruys, as Charge d'Affaires at Lisbon. The two nominations have, in fact, been long since announced, but they still depend on the state of the Senate. We learn that both these gen tlemen will depart soon afterwards. Baron de Vrintz, Chamberlain to the Emperor of Anstri t, and Director-General of the Post_office of his Highness the Prince of Tour and Taxis, arrived at Brus sels yesterday. The Countess of Westmoreland arrived here yesterday from England. Yesterday afternoon, at about half_past six o'clock, a storm, accompanied with hail and claps of thunder, burst over the city of Brussels ; it lasted only a few minutes, but it was..terrible. The Contigrade thermometer was at 12 deg. 3., it afterwards fell considerably, and this morn ing at day-break, was only 3 deg. 3. The barometer, on the contrary, was. at its minimum ; it then rose rapidly from 744 84. mill. to 759. 80. milimeters, at which it remained this morning, the 29 , h. BRUSSELS, JAN. 30.—The Chamber of Representa tives, in its sitting yetrerday, adopted, by a majority of 72 to 1, the Proj-ct of Law respecting the importation of machinery into Belgium. Three Members declined voting, alleging that they had 'not been able to examine the law with due attention. The Chamber then commenced the general discussion of the Department of the Minister of Finance. In the Sittings of the 30th and 31st, the discussion of the Articles of the Budget was began and continued, the necessity of introducing retrenchments was much dwelt ,upon. ANTwEnr, JAN. 29.—The tide yesterday was as high as that in February, 1824. The ships in the road kept their stations well ; two in the basins broke from their moorings, but no great damage was done, 1W have no news from the mouth of the river ; but fears are enter tained for the sixty ships which have been waiting at Rammekins a favourable wind. OSTEND, JAN. 29.—The tempest last night exceeded in violence even that of the Ist of September. Our fishermen, several of whom came in at high water this afternoon, nay thit the storm of wind, accompanied with hail, snow, and lightning, was violent beyond anything they ever expe rienced.

The last gives a programme of the ceremonies with which the Commissioner-General was to be received on his return from the west coast of Sumatra, which was daily expected. These papers say nothing of the war in Sumatra, but they state thlt a ship, which had Dutch troops on board, and sailed from Bencoolen the 26th September, had arrived at Ilitavia on the 10th of October. The arrival of this ship, and the expected return of the Commissioner• General, seem to indicate that the insur rection in Sumatra is quelled, and that affairs bad taken a favourable turn.

On the Ist (13th) New Year's Day, there was the usual masquerade in the magnificent apartments of the Winter Palace; 30,000 tickets of admission were issued for this fete, which is unique in its kind. The Imperial Family, with the Princes of Orange and adenberg, and the Foreign Ministers and the Court, appeared as usual among the company, consisting of per eons of all ranks, eve■ to the common people, and did nut retire till long after midnight. Much surprise is felt here at the strange accounts which have appeared for some time past in the English journals respecting the pretended armaments of Russia. The ready correspondents of the Times and other London journals, affirm that an expedition to the East is preparing. All the old ships, say they, are under repair. Great exertions were making in the dockyards of Sebastopol, Necobizeff, and other ports of the Black Sea, as well as the Turkish porte in the governments of Odessa (!) and Oczakoff ! !). Considerable bodies of troops and artillery, &c &e. Of all these statements the only thing that can be affirmed with truth is that they have been inserted in the English papers to be laughed at and forgotten. They may be classed with the pretended in corporation of six Wallachian regiments into the Russian, and the approaching expedition to India by the Russians, respecting which the Moscow Gazette is said to have spoken in no measured terms, though nothing of the kind has been heard of here, or anywhere in Russia. The arrival of the Turkish Ambassador has given most foreign journals an opportunity to indulge in conjectures respecting the object of his mission; but in the best in formed circles of the capital we heard the repeated assu rance that Achmed Paella is simply commissioned to give the thanks of the Sultan to our Emperor for the assist ance afforded him in his distress, and to request the Rus sian Government to make some changes in the time of payment, and in the amount of the arrears due to Russia since the last war with the Porte. .

A meeting with pistols took place in the Bois de Boulogne on Wednesday morning, between General Bugeaud and M. Dulong, both Members of the Chamber of Deputies, which proved fatal to the latter. The seconds of General Bugeaud were Gen. de Rumigny and Colonel Lamy, and those of his adversary M. Georges Lafayette and Colonel Cesar Bacot. The parties were placed at forty paces. They were advancing and taking aim at each other, but had scarcely moved two paces when General Bugeaud fired, and M. Dulong fell. The ball, which struck him in the forehead, a little above the left eye brow, entered, and remained in the head. He was imme diately bled on the ground, and afterwards conveyed home in the carriage of M. Georges Lafayette. At two o'clock he was again bled very copiously, but since he was wounded his senses never returned for a single moment. He was still living at midnight, but from the nature of his wound, no hope of re covery could be entertained. All his friends and colleagues who had been informed of the deplorable event assembled round his bed, and an express was sent off to 31. Dupont de l'Eure, his relation and most intimate friend, with the lament able news, and with a letter which M. Dulong had previously written in anticipation of the disaster. The following are the circumstances out of which the fatal dispute first arose :—A short time ago Marshal Soult, in viola tion of the military code, appointed a naval officer of artillery to a similar department in the army. The officers of the artil lery regiment respectfully remonstrated at this direct breach of justice and of military law. Of course Soult paid no attention to their petitioning, which they repeated, and also refused to hold intercourse with the intruding protege of the War Minis ter; that is, they sent him to Coventry. This roused the cha racteristic choler of the nick-named " hero of Toulouse," who raved, and menaced, and employed other cogent means to bring back the refractory officers to obedience, notwithstanding which a very considerable portion of them still adhered to their justifiable and legal remonstrance. Soult sent them to prison: " There let them learn obedience," growled out the old soldier of all the dynasties. He then wrote the following ministerial circu lar, which was officially read to the officers in durance vile :—" I require (exige) that each of the prisoners shall individually ac knowledge in writing the illegality of their collective proceed ings. I require that they therein express their regret and repentance for what they have done. I insist that they recog nise the rights of M. Greban, and that they renounce the right of any kind of reclamation, even if legal. It will be a thousand times better that the services of these officers should be lost to the army, than to let it be supposed that I should yield in such an occurrence. Let those who remain refractory be instantly given up to a council of war." The illustrious disciplinarian lately made an harangue on a public occasion, in one of the provinces, in which he dwelt on the necessity of unlimited, unconditional, unthinking, military obedience, making use of the following words :—" If a superior officer orders a lower in rank, even when off duty, to go to his quarters, and go to bed in the middle of the day, or at any time, the inferior is bound to obey. If a superior officer stops one below when walking, orders him not to proceed in such a direction, and commands him precisely in what direction he is to proceed, the inferior in rank is bound to obey, in default of which, in all such cases, he is amenable to military punishment." During a debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday last, when the Ministerial party did all they could to exasperate the Opposition, M. Larabit called upon the War Minister to explain in regard to the circular letter attributed to him. After a good deal of jesuitical equivocation, Marshal Soult at length hardily denied that he had written any such a letter, at the same time pronouncing these words—" The soldier is bound to obey ;" soon after which Gen. Bugeaud exclaimed, " On obeit d'abord." M. Dulong, unable to restrain his indignation, cried, " What I must a soldier, then, obey, even to the degradation of becoming a gaoler ?" M. de Rumigny, Louis Philip's favourite aide-de-camp, on dit, repeated more than the hasty expression of his colleague to General Bugeaud, who, it would seem, had not heard it, as it was merely an unpre meditated ebullition of feeling, and not delivered in a sena torial speech. The General approached M. Dulong, and in quired of him whether he had not made use of the word infame, and whether the tenor of what he had said was meant to be of an insulting and personal nature. M. Dulong denied having pronounced the word infame; but for the rest, he had a right to allude to a notorious public fact, without having the intention of provoking M. Bugeaud attributed to him. Matters remained thus, when the ultra-ministerial paper, the Journal des Debats, related the incident in the following exaggerated manner :—Marshal Soult : " A military man is bound to obey."—M. Larabit : " The President of the Council ob serves that they are bound to obey. I admit it; but when they have right on their side, and an attempt is made to force them to draw back, then, Gentlemen, they may renounce obedience."—(Numerous Members: "Never! never!") General Bugeaud : " They ought in the first instance to obey I"—M. Dulong, in the midst of the noise : " Must they obey so far as to become a gaoler ?—(Great tumult)—even unto ignominy ?" In consequence of explanations which this incorrect report gave rise to, 111. Dulong had written a letter which was to have been inserted in the Journal des Debats on Tuesday, but on Monday evening the Ministerial Evening Journal mentioned the circumstance in the following terms :—" The Journal des Debats of Wednesday reported an outrageous expression ad dressed by M. Dulong to General Bugeaud. It was stated on Thursday in the Chamber, that the Hon. General had demanded satisfaction, and required a letter from M. Dulong, which was to appear on Friday in the Journal des Debats." The manner in which the step taken by M. Dulong was represented in this paragraph induced him to demand of Gen. Bugeaud to give him his letter back again, and place himself at his disposal. This note had thus led to a renewal of the quarrel. On Wednesday, however, General Bugeaud declared that he would accept any explanations that the seconds would consent to, but unfor tunately the affair was not arranged. On the ground, before the combat commenced, Messrs. Georges Lafayette and Colonel Bacot demanded that the letter written by M. Dulong should be given up, as had been agreed upon expressly. The Messager of Wednesday evening states, that M. de Rumigny replied that the letter was at the Tuileries, and promised to deliver it up after the duel, whatever might be the issue of it. At two o'clock Messrs. Lafayette and Bacot went, in consequence, to the Tuileries; but there M. de Rumigny declared that he gave the letter to the King, who burnt it in his presence. A written declaration of the destruction of the letter was signed by M. de Rinnigny.—M. Dulong breathed his last at half-past six o'clock on Thursday morning. The National states that it was Gen. Rumigny who burnt the letter in the presence of the King, and not his Majesty, as stated by the Messager of Wednesday night. Gen. Rumigny states, that M. Dulong observed, respecting this letter being returned, that it would be the same thing to him if it were destroyed. It may be right to mention, that General Rumigny resides at the Palace of the Tuileries, as Aide-de. Camp to the King. At a meeting held on Thursday, of about 200 of the principal proprietors of Bank stock, several questions affecting the prosperity of the establishment were discussed by M. Tripier and M. de Mosbourg. For instance, according to the accounts brought forward, the dividends for the year 1833 amounted to 4.685,100 f. ; but when it is considered that this dividend was composed of 2,604,384 f. interest on Government rents, and of 1,422,465 f. arising from negotiations with the Treasury, making together 4,026,849 f. ; there remained only a profit of 658,251 f. arising from discounts properly so called ; and, as the expenses for the year amounted to 914,505 f. 72c., it resulted that the only operations in which the concurrence and judgment of the Bank Re gency was required cost more than they produced ; fir it could not be pretend,d that the transactions with the Treasury required any great exercise of time or care. The assembly afterwards proceeded to the special object of its meeting, and Messrs. Jacques Lefebvre, Caccia, and Paillot, were re-elected Censors fur the next three years. M. Delemarre Martin Didier was elected Censor in the room of M. Guitton, and M. Bandon, Receiver-General for the Department of the Nord, was elected Regent, in the room of M. Sanity, deceased.—French Paper. _ ALARMING FIRE IN TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD.-Saturday night, about eight o'clock, the above neighbourhood was thrown into the utmost consternation, in consequence of an alarming fire suddenly bursting forth at a large p 'tent mange manufactory, situated in Red Lion-yard, John-street. From the inflammable nature of the materials (there being a great quantity of wood on the premises) the devouring element raged with great fury, and in a short time the premises presented one miss of flames. Great fears were entertained for the safety of the Red Lion public-house, situated at the corner of the yard. The alarm having been extensively sounded, the Globe, Atlas, Sun, and other engines arrived in rapid succession, and the water being turned on promptly, they speedily commenced playing upon tha burning premises, the fire having by this time communicated with an adjoining carpenter's shop. By the activity of the firemen, aided by an abundant supply of water, the progress of the flames was fortunately arrested, and about nine o'clock wholly subdued. The damage done, however, is consi derable, the mangle manufactory above alluded to being reduced to a heap of ruins. We understand the premises were not insured. THE LATE WAR IN POLAND.-OUR EASTERS POSSESSIONS.-The very interesting narrative of the Polish struggle, commenced recently in the Naval and Military Gazette, is continued in Saturday's Number with a spirit which increases as it opens upon the more active occurrences of the scene, on the approach of the Russian force to Warsaw. The writer is an Officer who took an active part in the operations. He has devoted the profits of the narrative to the funrl for the relief of the Polish refugees. The same Number of the Naval and Military Gazette contains a very curious and comprehen sive tabular view of the British Colonies itt Asia, exhibit ing their separate and aggregate amount of commerce, property, revenue, expenditure, population, military s t re ngth, and other statistical features. To all persons who are interested, commercially or otherwise, in our vast oriental possessions, the picture thus presented must be of considerable value. BRIGHTON, PEn. 2.
