justice. Of the latter 22 were whipped ; 18 others having
undergone the punishment of the knout have been sent
into Siberia ; others are still in prison.
The Imperial Order was put in force. Six hundred
young women, torn from their country and their families,
were conveyed under military escort to the camp of Woz-
nesensk.

On their arrival at the camp they underwent an indecent
examination, after the manner of military recruits, in order
to ascertain whether they laboured under any bodily in-
firmity. The best looking amongst them, in different cos-
tumes, dressed after the manner of the Tyrolese, the
Spaniards, and the English, were distributed in the various
farms of the military colony. This was no doubt done in
order to present to the German Princes and illustrious
strangers who were expected a scene picturesque and pas-
toral, to relieve the ennui of the military spectacles. As
to the young women, the least distinguished by their per-
sonal appearance, these were retained to wash the linen of
the soldiers.

The country people have presented a petition to the Em-
peror, supplicating for the return of these unfortunate
females, and which has been warmly supported by the Mar-
shals of their districts. It is not yet known what the re-
sult will be, but the general opinion is that the women will
be obliged to marry the soldiers of the colonies.
It was thus under the reign of Catherine 11. that Po-
tenskin, after the devastation of the Crimea, transported
thither numerous detachments from different Russian regi-
ments ; and in order to complete the project of colonization,
ordered a levy of young females, who were drawn from the
different provinces, and given as wives to the new colonists.
Such are the facts that have just taken place. I give
them to you without reflection or without comment.

We have learned, with pleasure, that ESPARrEno
ordered the release of Mr. GRUNIESON, the cor-
respondent of the Morning Post at the head-quarters
of Don CARLOS, recently taken prisoner by the Chris-
tinos, and confined in Logrono. Among Mr. GRU-
NIESON'S papers, forwarded for the inspection of the
Christino Commander-in-Chief, were—according to
the current rumour at Bayonne, on the 14th instant—
certain letters addressed to partisans of the Pretender
in England. Mr. GRUNIESON appears to have acted
as a partisan himself, and most probably would have
lost his life, but for the timely intereference of the
distinguished objects of his constant vituperation—Sir
GEORGE VILLIERS and Lord PALMERSTON.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have
all reached us. Their contents, though not politically
important, are not devoid of interest. The Moniteur
of Saturday contains the following official intelligence
from Spain : _ _

" TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
" PERPIGNAN, Nov. 15.
" NARBONNE, NOT. 16, 7 O'CLOCK, A.M.
" Cabrera was on the 7th at Torrente, within a league of
Valencia, with 10,000 infantry, 500 cavalry, and five field-
pieces. His troops were plunderinr, the villages of the
Huerta. The garrison, consisting of.' 1,200 men, and the
armed inhabitants, had made no sortie.

" On the 11th five battalions of National Guards, of
1,000 men each, were already organized in Barcelona. New
import duties have been established in that capital. A
corps of 4,000 insurgents, who had appeared near Ingualda,
retired into the mountains on the approach of the Queen's
troops."
On the 6th, General ORA A left Teruel at the head
of his division, to cover Valencia, and, if possible,
bring CABRERA to a battle. Buil, was matching in
in the same direction. No fears were entertained in
Paris for the safety of Valencia.
Letters from Thurgau state, that the remains of the
Duchess of ST. LEu have left Switzerland for France,
attended by Count Louis TA SCIIER and his son.

The advices from Africa are numerous, but not im-
portant. Marshal VALLEE had declined the appoint-
ment of Governor-General of Algiers, and persists in
h:s request to be re-called. On the Ist inst. he pub-
lished an Order of the Day, congratulating the French
Army in Africa on the accomplishment of the arduous
campaign against Constantine, which had just cost it
a month's toil. The remains of General DA MREMONT
have arrived at Marseilles. Colonel BUNELLE, with
four thousand troops, including 'one thousand engi-
neers, will remain in possession of Constantine.
Rumours of an increasing amity between France
and Russia were in circulation in Paris on Saturday.
The influence of Russia at the Court of Berlin de-
creases in a still greater proportion.

Letters from Athens, of the 27th ult., announce the
safe arrival of a French steamer with a million of
francs—being the third instalment of the French por-
tion of the loan. The French, English, and Prussian
Ambassadors had then signed protests against the
financial operations of the Greek Government—the
two former insisting that the public accounts should be
audited by Commissioners. The Greek Government
was consequently in a state of great perplexity.
The following extract from the Journal des Debats
will show the state of public feeling in Hungary. We
anticipate an early liberal movement in that kingdom
which shall both astonish and delight the Constitu-
tutional Governments of Western Europe :

Advices from Pest, of the 28th ult., state that Hungary
presented at that time an interesting political aspect. Dis-
trict Diets were holding at Buda, Presburg, Pest, and
other places, at which the nobility everywhere made it a
point to attend. The Parliamentary spirit of England and
France seems to have invaded that country. The partisans
of Count Setchini, who constitute the Radical party in
Hungary, have joined those of M. Polot;.,haj, who, though
strenuously opposed to the Government, have, nevertheless,
acted under the monarchical and constitutional banner. This
union was considered highly advantageous to the real in-
terests of the country. Two orators figure in the Assem-
bly of Presburg—Messrs. Bartsaj and Drayetski, who lately
threw up their commissions as officers of Hussars, to be-
come mere citizens. Both are indebted for their talent to
the study they have made of the speeches of the best
Parliamentary orators of England and France. Prince Met-
ternich was expected in Pest in the beginning of November,
to take a part in the labours of the district Diets, as an Hun-
garian nobleman.

to be delivered at Valcarlos on the 16th of this month, to be
thence conveyed to Pampeluna.

Letters and papers from Madrid of the 11th instant
have been received. Brigadier-General NA R VAEZ
had been appointed to the command of the Army of
Reserve, and was about to proceed to Andalusia.
The proceedings of ESPARTERO in Navarre, and
especially his appointment of A LAIX to the Viceroy-
alty, before his acquittal on the charge of treason so
recently preferred against him, had given great um-
brage to the Liberal party. The opening of the new
Cortes stood fixed for the 19th inst., previous to which,
s'ttings for the discharge of the necessary preliminary
business were to take place. A change in the Cabinet
was daily expected, though the prevailing opinion was,
that the QUEEN would not hazard such a step until
she had tried the temper of the new Chamber of De-
puties. The accounts from the northern provinces
were rather unfavourable. It was believed that Don
CARLOs had received from the Great Northern
Powers a timely supply of ready money, by means of
which he would be able to keep partisan bands on foot
in Valencia and Aragon through the winter. This
will entirely depend upon the degree of patriotic zeal
and wisdom manifested by the new Cortes.

The discussion in these assemblies will turn principally on
three points. The Hungarians are determined on demanding
of the Emperor Ferdinand—let, That their language be de-
clared the official language of the country for all civil acts,
and substituted for the Latin in the Courts of Justice; 2, That
the Jesuits be removed from the direction of public instruction,
a great number of Hungarians and Transylvanians professing
the Catholic Greek rite; 3, That the national Hungarian
troops be quartered in their native country, and not sent to
other States of the empire. The other objects considered in
these Diet. will refer to changes in the Customs' regulations,
the mode of levying taxes, the opening of roads and canals,
&c. The rich banking-house of Sina, in Vienna, has offered
to undertake at its cost the construction of several roads and
canals through Hungary, and the Austrian Government is said
to have partly acceded to the conditions.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

There is nothing else of any moment in the French
Journals of Friday and Saturday, save what will be
found in the annexed extracts :

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have the arrival of three packet ships from New York
this morning. The England and Garrick'-arrived at Liver-
p 00l ; the packet Philadelphia at Portsmouth—all :three of
the same date, the Ist inst. They do not bring any news of
importance. Affairs were upon much the same footing as in
the previous account. The Exchange on London was 15f ;
Stocks were flat ; United States Bank Shares closed at 1181.
There was little change in the Money Market for the past
week, but it is in an improving state, and there was a fair
business done in Bills on Europe.
The Montreal Papers to 28th. Oct. state that on the night
of Thursday, and the morning of Friday, Lake Ontario was
visited by one of the most violent gales of wind that has been
remembered for many years past. No accounts have reached
us of any lives lost, but the loss of property in the neighbour-
hood of Kingston has been very considerable.
We extract the following from the Jamaica Papers to the
14th October :

" Letters from Gottingen," says the Courrier Francaise,
" state that seven Professors in the University in that city
refuse to take the oath of fidelity to the now King, and that
should the University send a deputy to the States, it will be
merely to protest. This courageous determination is likely to
exercise considerable influence on the public feeling. The
Universities of Germany are not only institutions for study,
but are also political centres which give an impulse to the rest
of the country. On the other side of the Rhine Professors
are regarded, in some sort, as popular magistrates, commis-
sioned to defend the rights of the people as well as the princi-
ples of reason."
We have received the following of the 2d from Oran :
" News has just arrived that Chef de Bataillon Menonville, of
the 47th who was sent to Mascara, has committed suicide, af-
ter having killed his interpreter, M. Zacca. This act of un-
questionable insanity took place in the evening of the 24th
inst. M. de Menonville was remarkable for his mild and even
temper; but the persons of his household lately observed in
him a degree of abberration of mind, which increased on the
death of the son of Abd-el-Kader, who was attended by a
French physician. During nearly the whole.of the 24th he was
in a state of great agony ; and, under some delusion, he kept M.
Zacca, against whom he bad conceived some inexplicable preju-
dice, constantly in sight directing his pistols at his breast. At
night he made the interpreter lay down by his side, resting
his head on the same pillow. M. Zacca, overcome by fatigue,
having with the rest of the establishment been kept without
rest for six days, fell into a sound sleep. While in this state
M. de Menonville took up both his pistols, placed the muzzle
of one close to the right eye of M. Zacca, and that of the
other in his own mouth. 'I Both went off at the same moment,
and the next, on the attendants rushing in at the reports, they
found two lifeless bodies. The news was sent to General
Bugeaud, at Mostaganem, who immediately dispatched M. de
Maussion, a chief officer of the staff, to Mascara, and who has
nut yet returned. The body of M. de Menonville has been
brought to than, and was buried on the 27th ult., with all the
honours due to his rank.
A contract has been made between the Spanish Minister of
Finance and some Spanish and French merchants, who are to
furnish a million of rations for the troops in Navarre, which are

" We are happy to state the dullness that was prevalent
throughout the country is fast disappearing. A shock of an
earthquake was felt at Barbaboes on the 22d ult., which has
injured some buildings. The shock continued from ten to
fifteen seconds. A slight shock was experienced at St.
Vincent's, onTuesday, 29th ult., at six o'clock in the morning ;
its duration was considerable : no injury appears to have been
done by this convulsion of nature. Rumour states that his
Excellency the General has sent home his resignation, and
there are those who expect we will soon have another ruler.
Whether it be that Sir Lionel Smith wishes to be relieved
from the cares of office, or finds his situation so surrounded
with difficulties as to be induced to desire to resign, we pre-
tend not so say, because of ourselves we know nothing of the
circumstances."

We extract the subjoined from the Singapore Papers re-
ceived to July 2 :

" The trade of Penang for the year 1936 and 1837, accor-
ding to an official record, exhibits an increase in value of the
trade of that island, of about sixty-five-fold during the last
official year to that of the preceding_
