FELNeII PAPERS.

PAnts, Nov. 19.—The Casette de France, con-
tridie;ing its previous strement regarding the time
when the previous statement regarding the time
when the Chaniber:4 will meet, says, that 4' it is
confidently stated they will not be convoked till the
l3th of December, instead of the 3rd."_

The palace of Elysee Bourbon is undergoing a
thorough repair, as is to be made the residence of
his Royal llighness the Duke of Bordeaux.
On the 11th instant two young men of Bordeaux
quarrelled ever a game of dice, when one of them
stabbed companion with a knife, which caused
almost instant death. The mother of the deceased
when intimmed of the catastrophe, threw herself
in:o the river, and was drowned.
We learn, by a courier extraordinary, that the
Spanish Cortes terminated their sittings on the 9th
of November. The King being at the Escurial,
the President fulfilled, in his name, the functions
which the law assigns to his Majesty. The most
perfect tranquillity pervaded the whole city.
A ham of four millions of ducats is now negotia-
ting with ihe house of Guittard, for the use or the
Neapolitan government.
STHALsVND, Nov. 4.—The Portuguese Andras-
sailor at the Court of Prussia, having acquainted
the Minister of the events at Lisbon and Oporto,
proposed that all the Prussian pons should be shut,
to prevent the sailing of vessels for Portugal. He
received an answer, that though the government
did not recognise the new order of things in Portu-
gal, yet it could not undertake any hostile measure
against that country; and that an interdiction of
that sort would be productive of great embarrass-
ment. The interest of commerce require that this
measure will never be adopted, unless the Minister
of Portugal give an assurance beforehand to the
Prussian subjects that, a compensation equal to the
estimated loss shall be made.

GENLTA, Nov. 4.—A double assassination, the
details of which seem to furnish the counterpart to
that of the untOrtunate Fualdes, was committed on
the Ist instant, in the suburbs of this city, on the
person of M. Corboz and his servant. Those two
victims were found horribly mutilated in the house
which they occupied at Plain Palais. It would ap-
pear that a long and hard struggle had preceded the
perpetration of the crime; but the murderers have
nut left behind them the least truce that can lead to
a discovery. It happeiusl, however, that the same
night the murder was committed, two young men,
who were returning from shooting, alarmed a man
who was carrying a porter's hod, and as he saw them
he threw the contents into a ditch. A little farther
off they met another man similarly burdened. On
the following day they learnt that five men had
crossed the lake, currying with them a quantity of
effects, and leaving behind a trunk at a public-house.
The police immediately searched the ditch, and
found several things belonging to M. Corbox, and
among them some bloody linen. The trunk, also,
was filled with things stolen after the murder. Sonic
days afterwards, a well-dressed man, who was tra-
velling with a dealer in wine, ordered the coach-
man who drove them to cull for the trunk at the
house where it had been left. The wine merchant,
ho had previously noticed that the hands and face
of the prisoner were much scratched, now suspected
hint of being one of the murderers, and had him
arrested. This was not done without great diffi-
culty. The assassin, who is named Muchon, is a
powerful man, and it was not until after a long
personal conflict between him and a French gen-
darme that he was secured, and lodged in prison at
Gm Since that time, Nladam 8., who belongs to
a family of rank in the neighbourhood, has been
arrested as an accomplice, and she has promised to
reveal every thing, upon condition of her lite being
spared. A professor LA Italian, who is also suspected,
has fled. Six men and two women, besides Ma-
chun and Madam 8., have been arrested. .'Vachon
is the captain of a banditti tailed '• the Black Band."
The gendarme who secured him was carried in
triumph upon the sho:4lders of the populace to the
town-hall at Geneva, where he was publicly thanked
by the maiOst rates, and rewarded with 30 Napoleons
(411. f9s. 4c1.)
Nov. 7.—Our polke, and that of the contiguous
districts of France, Savoy, and of the Pays de Vaud,
are cone:thug incaas for tlk discovery of the per-
petrators of the murder committed nit the lA, inst.
in the environs of this town, and also of a baud of
rubbers who have been committing depredations on
our territory 14 several mouths. 'flue French gen-
darmerie of Gex have arrested an individual under
strung suspicions of guilt, and other arrests induce
a belief that they are on the right tra.l. The Sar-
dinian authorities have adopted active measures to
prevent any suspicious diameter taking refuge in
Savoy. Another band of vagrants and deserters,
partly front Milan and panty from Genoa, have
c Ilected in the tvest of Ntvitatriuml, whence they
make predatory incursions into the departamts of
