before they are promulgated. The Councillora, to place them out
of the reach of intrigues, and to secure the independence of their
opinions. are declared inamovible : they cannot lose their places or
be exiled from the capital, except for crimes duly proved, and by
Virtue of an express order of the Sovereign. I shall give you, sepa-
rately, information respecting the attributes of the Council, and
other highly interesting details.
Letters from Warsaw of the 27th I/member do not announce
the departure of the Emperor Constantine. No public act had yet
informed Poland that Constantine accepted tht: succession of his
bther. It is probable that he was still at NiThrosw on the 39th,
asro no news of his having left it has reached Paris to-day (6th
January.)
The Count de St. Priest is to go as Envoy Extraordinary to B'.
Petersburgh, to compliment the new Emperor.

ZAN/ E. DEC. 9.
The noire (vessels) for transporting Christian women and chit.
dren into Egypt are much sought alter, and taken at a high price
by the Austrian Captains, as It is they alone that engage in ahis
white slave trade. The squadron of Admiral Al iaulis has just been
reinforced by the naval division of Sachturis. Yesterday the Chris-
tians burnt a Turkish frigate off Patras, and took six large trans-
ports Irons the barbarians.
The apprach of Ibrahim is spoken of ; but it is likely that the
squadron upon whose co-operation he reckons may have been de.
'tilled before it was able to attack Missolonghi. Illiaulis is mix-
ing off the heights of tcrophes, in sight of that town, which is in
free communication with the mountains of Liebe. The Chris-
tians who have ilefent:ed Mitisolonghi for nine months have bid
adieu to the world, and are prepared to die for the cross, to which
they have attached their supreme hope. Should they fall, their
names will go down to posterity, and their memories will be dear to
all the nations who have sympathised with them in the terrible
struggle which has been going forward during the last live years
over the ruins of Greece. The Greeks rely upon him who pro-
tombsir regeneration to the world, to crown their religious
with laurels and cypress. We have received the following
letter from one of them :
FROM THE PORT vasitanrs, DEC. 5, NOOK •
The Turkish squadron is In view cif the promontory of
Aral,. Bid our last farewell :to our friends and to those who
defended the cause of our rights in the west ; above all do not
forget our historian. In a few days the fifth siege, and evenly-
second assault on Alissolonghi, will take place. In one or two
weeks we shall have lived or have triumphed. May the Almighty
God grant us his holy protection.
P.S.—Recommend our children to the Greek Committee at
Paris. The defenders of lilisaolonghi salute their eloquent defen-
der, 31. de Chateaubriand. His address is is every)body's mouth.

Carron is heard ; the Greeks have attacked the Capital Pc:ha ;
our ',rims announce that they have taken sonic more vessels from
the Turks. It is said that Ibrahim Pac;ia has arrived at Pair's.
The death of the Emperor Alexander has been announced to the
garrison of Missolonglii ; a day of fasting and prayer has been or.
dered to implore the divine mercy in favour of the Autocrat Alex-
ander l'aulowitz.
P.S.—We will rot sully our eorrespordence with the infamous
accounts published by the Speriatenr against the Greeks,
whom it accuses of piracy ; he ought rather to have reproached
them for their too long submission to what they have endured.

The German Papers which arrived yesterday leave no
doubt as to the accession of CONSTANTINE to the throne
of the Czars. The advices from St. Petersburgh are dated
the 21st ult. ; at that time the arrival of the new EM!EztoR
was daily expected, as, in reply to the affectionate inquiries
of the Empress Mother, be had signified his intention of
leaving Warsaw immediately. It was reported at Berlin,
that as soon as the Emperor CONSTANTINE had assumed
the reins of Government at St. Petersburgh, he would
issue a manifesto declaratory of his adherence in
every respect to the foreign and domestic policy of
his late brother. Especially, it is said, his Imperial
Majesty will proclaim his " firm resolution to main-
' Min the conservatory principles which form the basis of
the Holy Alliance." If it should, indeed, turn out that
Cor:s-rsNTINe. has been remaining at Warsaw in oruer to
prepare this important declaration, we shall have one of
the mysteries cleared up, which have given rise to so many
sinister conjectures. In this case the peace of. Europe will
certainly not be disturbed, and the Greeks must again look
to their own resources and energies for the achievement
of their independence.

The Times takes occasion to descant in a somewhat
triumphant tone on the deficiency in the Quarter's Revenue
" Here," it is said, "is a basis afforded for estimating the
tremendous violence of those causes, whatever they were
which produced the revulsion of the last three months."
Why, it was but a few days ago that it delivered itself in
thin wise—" Our ferar is that the storm has neither been long
enough nor violent enough ;" and now we are told of its
tremendous violence, and are referred to the falling cif on
the last Quarter's Revenue as a demonstration of the
fact ! Leaving this Journalist to reconcile his own in-
consistencies, we will only remark, that looking at what
he calls, though not very intelligibly, " the revulsion
of the last three months," the surprise of every one,
who reflects at all upon it, must be, not that it has
so far affected the revenue for that period, but that
it has not afi'ected it to a far greater extent. Let us
but for a moment call to mind the disorganized state
of the manufacturing community, produced by the com-
bination of workmen in every branch of trade—and
this crisis—dreadfully mischievous as it was—succeeded
by a panic in every quarter of the kingdom that brought on
a scene of dismay, and embarrassment in the mercantile
world, which in its whole history hail never been equalled.
To find the Revenue not so productive during this trying
period as when it goes on with the current of its
prosperity undisturbed, affords no very rational ground of
lamentation, since the fact could not in the nature of
things have been otherwise. They are, moreover, but
puny politicians who estimate the strength and spirit,
and resources of the country, by the deficit or surplus of
this or that quarter's revenue. Our strength is undimi-
nished—our spirit unbroken—and our resources abundantly
fertile. We have Ministers that enjoy as high a degree of
confidence, and deserve it as well, to the full, as any that
ever filled their stations, and we believe there is no rational
man that will not be content to put these advantages in
the scale against that deficit in the last quarter's income,
which the writers in the Times point at with so much ex-
ultation ashaving not only " confirmed, but exceeded their
anticipations."

It is extremely gratifying to remark the gradual return of
confidence in the commercial world. We say gradual, be-
cause its complete revival must be a work of time. Public
credit has not only been shaken from within, but it is con-
stantly assailed from trithet, by every mode of attack and
by every art of misrepresentation. The most dangerous
language is held as to everything connected with public
credit and banking establishments. All the evils so recently
felt and so justly deplored—and which were aggravated to
the utmost by the constant excitement of alarm kept up by
a considerable portion of the public press—all these evils
were described zis evils arising from paper credit, which has
been everywhere represented as pregnant with populsr ca-
lamity, which is declared to be inseparable from the system.
As paper credit is a subject but little understood by the
people at large, they are easily taught to consider all paper
currency as connected, more or less, with whatever distress
or privation the country may chance, at any time, to suffer.
There is no subject on which misconception can be more
easily spread abroad, nor is there any one upon which mis-
conception can be made to operate more extensively or more
fatally.
If there is.a scarcity of ,peck, the real cause of which
