The Paris Papers of Saturday add nothing worthy of
credit to the accounts we have already received from
Russia. The private correspondence of the Conettadiennei
abounds in prownostications of future dissensions in that
empire, but we pay little attention to the speculations in
Oat gn•rter, which usually accord more with the wishes
tLian the expectations of the writers. The succession is, to
all appearance, as firmly settled as could be desired. We
know, besides, that the authorities, civil and military, at
Moscow have unanimously taken the oath of allegiance to
e'e Emperor NICHOLAS, and no information could have
reached Brussels from the Pruth, as to the disposition of
the army stationed in Bessarabia.
No public business was transacted on Saturday in Paris,
it being the anniversary of the death of Louts XVI.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATZ LITTER"

Several commercial letters coming from Germany (for very few
are received from Russia, and those which do come speak with
ir•ich circumspection of the affairs of that country, • precaution
without which they would be stopped at the frontiers) announce,
without our thinking ourselves entitled to give credit to the report,
but in such a manner that the news is generally spread, that the
insurgents at St. Petersbutgfs, far from being reduced, are more
me-acing than ever ; that great movements, like those that took
place in Russia long after the occupation of the throne by
Catherine (but much more serious) have manifested themselves
ie venous parts of the vast Russian empire, the nearest to the place
of Alexander's death ; that while Constantine kept himself ►hut
up at Warsaw, the army on the Pruth loudly declared for him;
that the same unanimity of opinion prevails at Moscow ; that the
feeling in favour of the Greeks, long suppressed by the Autocrat
wt.o has just descended into the tomb, every where shows itself
with violence, and forebodes a long seriess of agitations, unless the
Government resolves to change its polig accordingly ; that though
Constantine seems to persist in his projects of abdication, the
powerful partisans or the old Russian policy, who want a Chief,
will make us: of hi. name, in spite of himself, to.oppose a power.

Ti:e accaunts from the Hague state that the Princess is con-
windy plJnyed in the most profound ofifietion. It seems that in-
deperdent of the loss of her brother, to whom she was tenderly at-
toct.ed, that Princess, who his so &lei deplored the fate of her Wi-
llson]. fellnw•christians the Greeks, and who must be well informed
of the spirit of opposition which showed itself in all ports of the
Rowan Etopsre to the Emperor Alexander, in filled w:th the most
serious alarms for the fate of her own fam;ly.

Etnperur of Braid, has arrived nt l'ar•s.

It appeirs by the Official Report ham the Covernor of
the Ruiti7an NilLary Colonies that many circumstances
have concurred to rend...r the vast project of iniiitary
colonization abortive ; and it is probable therefore
that it will be formally abandoned. Among the
causes oatensiEly enumerated as leading to thie re-
..ult are the enormous.expenses of the establishments,
the extraordinary mortally of the children of the soldiery.
anti the general (lige:intent excited both with the
nobility and the peasantry. The former sufFcretl iu their
revenue; the latter were disturbed in their economy. we
rrgard the appearance of this report at this juncture as a
further evidence of the pacific intentions of the new Ey-
e: Post. The military colonies were perhaps the most sus-
picious and dangerous of the measures adopted during the
late reign. Europe will feel more assurel of the tranquil
pclicy of the Russian Cabinet, when this singular and ex-
tensive erten' of military colonisation shall be wholly
abandoned.

We have hid the perusal of wine letters lately received
from Calcutta, which authorise the most favourable expec-
tationsregarding the Burmese war. These letters are from
a quarter possessing the best information. The statements
contained in them are, we know, entitled to perfect cre-
dence. Sir AROMA LEECAM Pt ELL, we are glad to learn,
