The French Papers which arrived last night are of no
political importance. The !:'toile denies the truth of the
reported illness of the Emperor of Ausrat•.
The advice. from Constantinople are dated the 7th ult.
The accession of the Emperor Nicitotas was known in
that capital, but nothing is stated as to the effect the intel-
ligence hail produced.
A letter in the Constitutionne/, from Poland, commu-
nicates some singular statements respecting the late con-
spiracy in Russia. The object of the plotters is said to
have been merely to put an end to the pacific system of the
late Emperor, in eider that they might obtain military
honours and promotion. They all belonged to the army,
and were native Russians. The disguised assassins by
whom General MII.OIADOVITCX fell during the commo-
tion at St. Petersburgh were, it is asserted, officers in dis-
guise. The judicial progess, whenever it may be pub-
lished, will be full of interest:—

No letters from Vienna speak of the pretended journey of the
Emperor of Austria to Italy for the recovery of his health, with
which the Courrter Francais entertained us. Here then is one
cause of uneasiness less, which these sit.cere friends of public
order lose.
Several journals state that Count Ouillem!not returns to Paris on
account of the formation of the Chamber of Peers into a Court of
Peers on the 16th of February. It is easy to judge that Coun'
Ouilleminot cannot yet have learned the decision of the !toys
Tribunal, and that all that the journals say on this subject is with-
out foundation.

Count Apponey, Austrian Ambassador to the Court of France,
has arrived to-day at Paris.
Prince Narischkin, nigh Chamberlain of the Emperor of Russia,
died the day before yesterday of dropsy.
News hos been brought by the Hasidim snail from Constantinople,
which generally leaves that city three days later than the Austrian
courier, and which has brought letters of the 7th of January, that
on the 3d of the month a fire broke out in the suburb of Galata,
which is partly inhabited by Christians. This fire is ascribed to
the Janissaries, and 1,000 shops and 1,500 houses wen reduced to
ashes. Some letters estimate the loss to the Christians at fifteen
millions of piastres.

The news of the renunciation of Constantino, and of the acceuion
of the Emperor Nicholas to the throne, had been received at Cue.
stantinople, by way of Odessa, but it is not said *bat effect it bad
produced.

A letter from Port-au-Prince, of 12th December, brought by the
Albinos, of Bordeaux, which has arrived at Havre, announces, that
when that vessel sailed there were twelve French merchantmen in
that port, whence there was such an abundance of goods, that cer-
tain articles were sold cheaper than in France. Every thing was
tranquil in the island, and the arrangement &included with France
appeared to give general satisfaction.

A COSSUR.O, JAN. M.

A letter from Poland affirms that the Emperor Alexander in his
late tour in the South had discovered in the second army traces of
the conspiracy which broke out 26th Dec. at St. Petersburgh, that
he wrote about it to Count Arakicheielf, enjoining strict secrecy till
hiseeturn, when it would be time to take decisive measures. It is
probable that the secret was communicated to the new Government
after Alexander's death, but that the young Emperor could not
fathom the depth of the evil, or foresee its so speedy explosion.
The principal motive of the conspiracy was ambition. The young
officers of the Southern army, who had been with the Army
of Occupation in France, all wished for war to obtain pro-
motion and honours. A Colonel of a very great family
had with this view composed, printed, and distributed, a
Catechism for the use of the soldiers. All had been long pre-
pared. The conspirators had in the ranks none but Russians,
not a single foreigner. This is proved by the papers found
at Prince Trubetakois, and by his own declamation in an in-
vestigation of tour hours in the Emperor's Cabinet. All the
assassins were officers in disguise. As far as may be con-
jectured from the cries about a Constitution it is pos-
sible that these wretches wished to build their power on the
ruins of the throne. It is notorious that by assembling in the
square of the Senate House they intended to force the senators
to adhere to their plan of a constitution (whatever it was) which
they had really drawn up. It Is to be observed that the conspira-
tors were all military, and that among those arrested in the night
of the 26th there was only one Counsellor of State.

We have received the New York Papers to the 17th
ult. The recent proceedings in Congress were thus
abridged in the Daily Advertiser :—" In the Senate on
Monday, Mr. Va r ileaEN reported a Bill further to
amend the judicial system of the United States, which was
ordered for a second reading. Mr. Lt.ovo, from the Com-
mittee on Commerce, to whom was referred that part of
the President's Message which relates to the expediency of
an entire removal of the discriminating duties on tonnage,antl
of impost, on the entry of foreign vessels and merchandise into
the United States, made a report on the subject, which was
read twice, and made the order of the day for Monday next.
The principal subject in the House of Representatives was
the bill to amend the judicial system of the United States.
After debate, the committee rose, reported progress, and
had leave to sit again. No business of importance was
transacted in either House on Tuesday. The committee
of the House of Representatives, to whom was referred the
memorials of the surviving officers of the revolutionary
army, have made a report in which they recommend "that
Congress should proceed upon the equitable circumstances
°Nile case, and pay such a specific sum rateably among
the officers, according to their rank and the resolves of
Congress, as may appear reasonable and just."
The differences between the General Government and
the State of Georgia had not been adjusted. It was ex-
pected at Washington that a special message would be
transmitted to Congress on the subject. Governor Taw; r
was lying dangerously ill at Milledgeville, in Georgia.
The Senate of the United States had not decided as to
the confirmation of the ministers nominated to attend the
Assembly of Panama.

Some idle an 4 mischievous wag had been prophesying
the destruction of New York, on a certain day, by an
earthquake, and a large portion of the good people of that
city had been frightened out of their wits at the impend-
ing catastrophe. ' By this time, we suppose, they all deep
in peace.

We subjoin the only intelligence we find in these papers
from Nlexico:—

(From the Wew York Daily Advertiser of Jan. 111.1
A story has been circulated for two or three days past, that some
person has predicted the destruction of this city by an earthquake,
in the course of a abort time—the precise day we do not recollect.
We thought this too ridiculous and absurd to produce any effect
