London. No official act has yet taken place, but an official
correspondence has just informed our Cabinet that, in case
of the Northern Powers insisting on the complete and en
tire maintenance of the Treaty of the Twenty-four Arti-
cles, the British Cabinet will not oppose them. This de
claration has thrown the Ministry into a state of the mos
lively anxiety."
On the 20th of March, 181.5, 8,000,000 oft francs were
due to the Emperor Napoleon for his Civil List, and
four more to his family. The wants of the army being
pressing at the time, Napoleon and his brothers left the
specie in the Exchequer, and took checks to the
amount, which were to be paid them out of the pro.
ceeds of the sale of the woods of the State. Subs®.
quently to the disastrous campain of Waterloo, Louis
XVIII. issued an ordinance, four days after his arrival
in Paris, declaring the checks null and void, so that the
12,000,000 remained in the Treasury, and are still due to
the house of Napoleon and his brothers. The family of
Napoleon has impeached, as illegal and unconstitutional,
the ordinance in question. The Council of State will have
to decide on the merits of the case at the sitting on the 23d
instant, which is to be presided over by the Keeper of the
Seals. Messrs. Moreau, Galisset, and Ledra Rollin, are
to advocate the claim of the Princes.—Commeree.
The number of pupils from all parts of France registered
between the Ist and 15th of November at the schools of
medicine and law of Paris, amounted to 3,ls4.—Commeree.
Among the articles sold yesterday, in consequence of the
demise of the aeronaut Robertson, was the tain-tam, the
melancholy sounds of which produced so universal an effect
at the funeral of Mirabeau. This instrument, then almost
unknown in France, and which on that memorable occa-
sion drew tears from the eyes of 200,000 persons, was
knocked down fur 650 francs.--Commerce.
The Courrier Francais perceives a manifest contradiction
in the assertion of the Ministerial press that the King go-
verns the country, and vet that Ministers are not servile.
" If the King governs," says this journal, " if he has the
will to decide and the firmness to execute, what" remains for
his Ministers ? If they are neither the head nor the heart
of the Government, but mere instruments in the hands of
Royalty, in what consists their independence ? A King
who governs must necessarily throw his Ministers into
shade, and render them mere passive agents. Ministers,
' in their turn, can govern only by resisting the personal in-
fluence and action of Royalty." The members of the pre-
sent administration, this journal contends, are indebted for
office to the will of the Sovereign, not to the free election
of the Parliamentary majority, and therefore cannot be ex-
pected to display any independence.
The Tou/onnais contains the annexed return of the Eu-
ropean population in the possession of the French in
Northern Africa on the 30th of September last, viz.:—At
Algiers, 11,059 ; at Oran, 4,395 ; at Bona, 3,031 ; at
Bnugeia, 336 ; at Mostaganem, 157 ; in all 18,978 inha-
bitants, of whom 9,945 were men, 3,958 women, and 5,075
e'lildren. In this number were 7,319 French, 2,155 Eng-
l'sh, 6,259 Spaniards, 2,070 Italians, 846 Germans, and 29
Grecians, Russians, or Portuguese. The population had
increased by 500 or 600 individuals since the 30th of Sept.
The Quotidienne considers it highly impolitic in its Mi-
nisterial Contemporary, the Debats, to allude to the ser-
vility of a Ministry uncles an absolute Government, or to
assert that a despot's will is flattered by his counsellors ;
" for, in that case," says the Ligitimist organ, " Napoleon
must have met with servile adulation from M. Mole, the
head of the present Cabinet, and from M. de Montalivet,
the father of his most influential colleague ; and if so,
how can it be thought that M. Mole has suddenly con-
tracted habits of pride and independence at an age at
which energy generally becomes enfeebled? Again, how
can it be supposed that M. Nlontalivet has deviated from
the paternal traditions on the very day after he attributed
to Louis Philippe the direction of the present epoch ?"
After repelling the charge of servility urged against the
Ministers of the old Monarchy in general, the Quotidienne
inquires where are the proofs of the independence of the pre-
sent Cabinet, or where the acts which redound to its
credit? "Da they consist," asks the journal, "in having
created a rallying name for the Bonapartists, or hosing re-
stored a degree of popularity to the Doctrinaires ?"
The National dwells with exultation on the progress
made through France by the petition in favour cc an elec-
toral reform—a manifestation of opinion which this Journal
considers the more important, as it has been produced by
a perfect consciousness of the discredit into which the
public powers in France have fallen, " The country," says
the National, " has been deeply affected by the scandalous
proceedings which have tainted the names of eminent per-
sonages, and by the rapid progress of corruption that has
deprived it of all confidence in an administration which
too closely resembles that of Sir Robert Walpole
in England. Fatal experience has proved that amidst
the venality which is going on in the Electoral Colleges
and in the Chambers, it is impossible to find in the
machinery of Government, as at present constituted, suf-
ficient power to check the corruption with which public
morals have been pollUted ; and as in the representative
system the Government, properly speaking, rests not so much
with the executive power and the legislative chambers as
with the citizens on whom the constitution confers the right
of election, it is natural to ascribe the evil to the electoral
law, and to demand its reform."
In the Consiitutionnel we find a letter of the 19th inst.
fom Bayonne, which states that the Marquis de C
who had accompanied the Princess de Beira, and who had
been mistaken for the Pope's Legate, had returned from
the Court of Don Carlos, and that notwithstanding his le-
gitimist principles, he made no secret of Isis disgust at the
manners of the Prince and his partisar.s, and their politico-
religious mummeries.

The illoniterir publishes a Royal ordinance, dated the
'2oth instant, containing 29 articles, whereby the two regi-
ments of Marines created by the ordinance of the 14th of
May, 18:31, arc re-organized, and a third regiment is added.
This force is to be called Regimens d'lnfantrie de Mare,
and are to be distributed at the naval ports and in the co-
lonies of France. The first and second regiments will
amount to 3,649 men each, including the officers, and the
third regiment to 3,675 making a total of 10,973 re.en.
Each regiment is to have in additian a company, hors rang,
including workmen, &c., of 100 men.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.
We received to-day the following letter from Warsaw,
which acquaints us with the measures the Emperor had
thought proper to adopt, after escaping in his capital a pre-
tended or real conspiracy, of which he means to follow the
ramifications in Poland :

" WARSAW' Nov. 4.—A. Government messenger having
arrived here from St. Petersburgh, with despatches for
Field Marshal Paskiewitch, it was immediately reported
that a conspiracy had been discovered in that city, and that
several officers of the Imperial Guard had been arrested.
The courser was said to be the bearer of a list of other
officers who arc to be arrested in Warsaw, and the remain-
der of Poland, as also of an order to the Field Marshal,
in the Emperor's own hand-writing, to repair without delay
to St. Petersburgh. Those reports may not be well founded
for aught I know ;but, immediately after the arrival of the
courier, Lieut.-General Kaisaroff, General Berg, and the
Director of the Police of Warsaw, General Storojenko,
were sent for by the Field-Marshal, and, at this very mo-
ment, the Caucasian cavalry, who for some time have done
duty as a sort of body guard of Prince Paskiewitch, have
been drawn up in all haste on the square in front of the
castle where the Governor-General resides.
" I communicate to you those facts as they now occur,
and commit my letter to the post, not knowing but it may
be kept back and opened. . Nobody, with the only excep-
tion of the authorities, has received his letter from St.
Petersburgh, although the post officershaerecogrerneesrapollnydevnecrey

The contract of marrif-ge between Duke Maximilian of
Lencbtenberg and. the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia,
wits, according to a letter of the 7th inst. from St. Peters-
burgh, completed on Sunday the 4th, at Tsarkoe Seloe, on
I I which occasion the Court were admitted to congratulate
the Duke and her Imperial Highness. The Duke will re-
main in Russia till the celebration of the Emperor's fete
day, December the Gth ; after which he will have at-
tained his majority, and will return to Bavaria, to take
possession of his apanages ;but will again go to St. Peters-
burgh in the spring, when, it is said, the marriage will be
solemnized,
