LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 2, Ins.

Last night we received the Paris Papers of Friday, with
the Etoile and Moisiteur of Saturday. The principal
topic of political interest at this momemt in the French
Capital is the election of a Deputy for N'ervins, instead of
General FOY. Neither of the liberal candidates will give
up his pretensions. The Constitutionnel throws all the
weight of its influence into the scale in favour of its elo-
quent defender, M. DeflN. The Cuurrier Froorai, la-
bours with equal zeal to insure the return of M. L
FITT e. The subscription for the family of General For
amounted to 595,009 francs, nearly 24,0001. sterling.
The Emperor CorstreaNTlNE, it appears, had not left
Warsaw on the StStl ult., nor was preparation then made
for his departure. The news of his brother's death, it is
stated, had shocked him to such a degree as to indite= se-
rious indisposition.
By advises from Miss°longhi, in the Moniteur, we learn
that great efforts had been made there since the raising of
the siege, in order that the place may be fit to defend itself
against the fresh attack with which it is menaced. The
troops of REDSCHID PACH♦ were again moving towards
Missolonghi, but the CAPITAN PACIIA would not be able
to co-operate effectually until he had defeated MI AULIS,
who was off Cape Papa, watching his operations.
A Spanish Correspondent of the Etoile has supplied that
paper with an admirable instance of his national absur-
dity. Ile gravely affirms that the privateers " cruising
under the flag of the American Insurgents" are fitted out
at Gibraltar by BERTRAND DE Lis and the other Consti-
tutionalists who have taken refuge there. It would, we
suppose, be too disgraceful to admit that the marine of the
revolted colonies is blockading the ports of the Peninsula.
The Madrid Papers exult in the capture of nine highway-
men as much as if some great military achievement had
been performed. What must we think of a Government
reduced tothic welshed coalition? Yet it is this power
that objects to the recognition of the flourishing states of
Mexico and Colombia!
From the Moil' dated Saturday, Dec. 31.1

Letters from Warsaw. of the Roth announce that the Emperor
Constantine. who was to have set out on the 17th, an still in the
espital of Poland on the 23d. The Emperor was seriously icdis-
Pased on account of the shock which lie felt on the death of his
brother. No preparation had yet been made fur his depirtur.:.
It teemed to be believed at Warsaw, that the will of the Emperor
moold not be made public till the result of the mission of the Grand
Dulep Michael to St. Petersburgh should be known.
A courier from Rome has brought the news of the nomination
of the Papal Nuncio at the Court of Madrid to the See of Imula.
It is remarked that the prelete of the illustrious House of .livtini-
ani, has been appoitoed to the same Bishopric which was lien by
Pius VII, at the time of his elevation to the papal dignity ; and
that the title of Archbishop of Tyre in paNibris, which he has
hitherto borne, belonged in like manner to Pope Leo XII.

Chevalier Jaubert has just received letters stating that Viscount
Ihsbassagns and Itichmont, who is charged with a mission to the
&hah of Persia. had been received by him with the greatest dis-
tinction, end that he hail proceeded on his way to India. The
newt of the beginning of August dispel the apprehensions that we
entertained resporting this interesting traveller.
According to recent letters from Almeira and some other towns
near Strait, Tiermand de his. and a great number of his mastitis,
are still at Oribraltar, where they do not cease to arm privateers,
which, under the flag of American insurgents, daily attack Spanish
vessels. At different points thikeome within cannot-shot, because
they know that tite fortifteafjorrilis the coast have no ariillery. It
is affirmed that the English have fitted out several cruisers.
Nine iii,:hwitynten have just been tod_ied haithe prisons of 3:a.
