LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, 1830.

The French Papers of Tuesday have been
received, but they contain no political news of
interest, and we have no room for extracts. The
e )1d is very in'e Ise on the Continent :

PARIS, DEC. 28.

The English Journals have not arrived for these two
days. The German mails are also in arrear. The letters
from the departments uniformly announce a delay of 12,
24, and 48 hours in the arrival of the mails and diligences,
caused by the snow with which the roads are covered.
FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, DEC. 29.—Five per Cents.
108 f. 15c. 10c. ; Three per Cents. SSE '7oc. 55c. ; Bank
Stock, 1.887 f. 50e. ; Naples Stock, 91f. 20c. ; Royal
Spanish Loan, SOf. ; Rente Perpetuelles d'Espagne,Js9.
Exchange on London,—one month, 25f. 60c. ; three

The following are extracts from German
Papers, received this morning :

BERLIN.

It is known here that the health of the Emperor
Nicholas daily improves, though private letters say
that he had not yet quitted his chamber, which is,
however, conformable to the natural course of his
convalescence. It is said that General Von Muffling,
before he assumes the command of the fortress of
Mayence, will take a journey to St. Petersburgh,
in attendance on one of our Princes. It is affirmed
in some of the circles here, in contradiction to other
accounts, that it is the Prince of Coburg who is to
ascend the throne of Greece. The inconceivable
attack on our former Minister, the Baron Von
Stein, which is contained in the memoirs of Bou-
rienne, and was .not known to the public in general
till Von Stein himself replied to it, has excited the
indignation of every honest mind.
On the 7th of this month it was fifty years since
his Majesty the King, then nine years of age,
entered the Guards, in the reign of Frederick the
Great. In conformity with the unaffected senti-
ments of our beloved Monarch, this jubilee was
kept without any ostentation, but with the more
cordiality in the bosom of the Royal Family.
M. C. A. G. Pleschel, a merchant, who died
in London, in 1821, induced by attachment to his
native city, Magdeburg, left a legacy of 35,0001.
sterling, to found a school there for poor children of
both sexes, and to maintain it by the interest : all
the formalities in England being complied with, the
sum for the foundation ready from the accumulation
of the interest, and the Royal permission obtained,
this charitable institution will be founded at Burg,
near Magdeburg ; eighty children will be received
into it, and brought up as artisans or domestics, and
thus the memory of the generous founder be remem-
bered with gratitude by the latest posterity.
BUCHAREST, DEC. 4.

General Kisseleff, the new President of the Prin-
cipalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, has arrived
here. The day after his arrival he assembled the
Executive Divan, and addresed it in a speech, of
which the following is the substance :—" The Em-
peror has confided to me the administration of these
provinces; I am sensible of the importance of the
duties imposed on me, and shall be happy to justify
the choice of my Sovereign, your powerful protector,
who has strengthened the protection which his an-
cestors granted to you. It is for you;gentlemen, to
complete the work. When the war commenced it
was his Majesty's intention to make it as little bur-
densome as possible to the principalities, and its
burdens would certainly have been light if the
authorities of the country had been penetrated with
the idea that difficulties thrown in the way would be
injurious to the general interest. A new organiza-
tion is preparing by a committee, whose members
chosen from among yourselves, are distinguished by
their perfect knowledge of the laws and customs of
the country. I inform you, gentlemen, that the
present mode of administration will be wholly
retained till it shall be satisfactorily proved that
changes are necessary or useful. Lastly, I ven-
ture to hope that we, guarded by the wisdom of the
brave commander of the army, shall fulfil the gene-
rous intention of your august protector, and that the
memory of this time will be transmitted by a happy
people to the remotest posterity." Manuel Argiro
Paulos, one of the members of the Divan, made a
suitable reply to this speech.
EXCHANGE ON LONDON.
FRANKFORT. Dzc. 24.—Two months, 1514.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
We have only ship letters from Smyrna, and a
French mail. By the latter we have accounts that
four contractors have appeared as bidders for the
French Loan of 80,000,000 francs, which bidding
takes place on the 12th inst., as follows :—M.
Aguado has made the first offer, the Receiver-
General the second, M. Delessert the third, and a
Company the fourth. The offer of the Receiver-
General is said to be 106 f. for the Four per Cents.
It was reported on the 'Change at Paris that in
the Syndical Chamber the Exchange Brokers de-
cided, after a spirited discussion, that the measures
previously adopted, of giving a deposit of 15 per
cent. on the purchase of the Royal Spanish Rentes,
is to be postponed for a month.
Accounts from Tiflis state that part of the Russian
army has passed the above town to go into winter
quarters.
Private letters have been received from Berlin of
the 24th December, which are silent in regard to
the relapse of the Emperor of Russia.
