LONDON, SATURDAY, Novsmasa 19, Mi.

We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday. The
Ministerial Journals boast, and we hope and believe that
they boast justly, of the progress made by France In in-
ternal improvements and general prosperity since the peace.
It is the interest of every nation, and especially of Great
Britain, as the wealthiest and most commercial of nations,
that the whole world, and every part of it, in particular,
should thrive and flourish. The richer all other people may
be, the more they will contribute to the growth of ourcapital.
We read, therefore, without repining, the declaration, that
" industry has for several years in France been receiving an
extension which becomes daily more and more important.
Roads are opened in all parts of the kingdom ; canals are
dug, bridges built, manufactories erected, mines of coal and
metals are opened ; and France is covered with more
commodious and more elegant dwellings; the number
of which built annually for five and six years is ten-
fold that of any period for more than a century before."
It is by results such as these that the blessings of peace
become palpable to all countries, and that in these days the
longer it continues the more powerful are the interests con-
cerned in prolonging it. The genuine principles of com-
mercial intercourse between nations begin to be understood
and admitted by all. By the subjoined extracts from the
Quotielienne, it appears that the absurd and mischievous
custom-house war between France and Sweden is at end,
and that the two kingdoms are about to adjust their com-
mercial relations on sound principles.

The Echo du Midi annOunces that the Session of the
Chambers will open between the 15th and 25th of February.
The private correspondence of the French papers from
Spain would dispose us to expect after all that the Duke
del INFANTevo will prove the devoted instrument of the
apostolic party.
There is a great masa of pretended news from Greece in
these papers, but it supplies us with few additional facts
worthy of credit. REDSCH ID PAC it A still remained before
Missolonghi, but there was no reason to apprehend that he
could be successful at this season of the year. The Alba-
nians have deserted him, and famine and fatigue daily
increased the general discontent of his army. IBRAHIM
PACHA is stated to have summoned the Greek Government
to evacuate Napoli di Romania before the arrival of his
reinforcements from Egypt. If they do not capitulate
before that period, he threatens to storm the town and put
all the inhabitants to the sword. In consequence of this
menace, it was supposed the Greek Government had re-
solved to withdraw to the islands of Salimino or Egina.
We must not forget, however, that all this intelligence
comes to us through those German papers which are
avowedly hostile to the Greek cause.

The French Funds are improving as well as our own•
The Five per Cents. advanced on Wednesday 40c., and
the Three per Cents. SOc. During the late panic on the
Paris Exchange, it is said the sellers were principally small
holders, whose lesecr have consequently been felt very se-
verely. The alarm was at one time quite as great as any
thing that has lately been witnessed in Capel-court.

PARIS, Nov. 15.

. -
It appears that the kind of custom-house war which has arisen
since the peace between France and Sweden, is on the point of being
terminated. It is said that from the lot January next the Swedish
Government will moderate the heavy duties, amounting to a pro.
hibition, which it had laid on the French productions, particularly
the wines of Bordeaux. The French Government will, on the
other hand, adopt a more moderate tariff on goods coming from
Sweden and Norway. All parties will gain by this reduction, espe-
cially the public Exchequer, it being notorious that in taxation 2
and 2 do not always make four.
Plessis, who was condemned to death yesterday by the Court of
Assizes of Paris, as guilty of an attempt to poison, has this morn-
ing appealed to the Court of Cana:ion.
We borrow the following article from the Echo du Midi, pub.
Fished at Toulouse :

" Though we are not yet acquainted with any official art of the
new Spanish Ministry, we may easily conjecture, from the letters of
our correspondents in the Peninsula, the new direction which will
soon he given to the affairs of that kingdom. Several private let-
ten which have mentioned the arrival of M. Zea, and the pension
granted the widow of the unfortunate Bessieres, have likewise an-
nounced the intended rehabilitation of the memory of that General,
and the prosecution of several eminent persons, who had more or
leas favoured the violent measures adopted by the late Minister
against the unfortunate Bessierea and his adherents. It is still be-
lieved that the whole of the Spanish Ministry will be changed,
with the exception of M. Colatitude."
