FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messager des Chambres, dated Jan. 4.)

Extracts from the Semaphore:—" 'We are in-
formed by letters from Algiers, that the greater part
of the army of occupation has been suddenly re-
called to France. General Clausel himself, and the
Chief Intendant, are going to quit the colony, where
there will remain only a garrison of 4,000 or 5,000
men, composed of the remains of the 15th, 20th,
28th, and 30th regiments of the line. These few
troops are to be concentrated in Algiers, and to with-
drew, for the second time, the garrison sent to Oran,
and that left at Medeah.

" The order for the recall was brought by an Aide-
de-camp of the Minister of War, who came on board
the Dassas brig.
" This news has spread consternation in the co-
lony. Reasons of the greatest importance are as-
signed for a measure which is in a manner the pre-
sage of an entire evacuation. It is impossible,
besides, to think without real sorrow of the immense
advantages which France will lose, and which it
would have obtained by the colonization of this vast
and rich country. Commercial affairs will expe-
rience the most fatal consequences from it. The
French merchants settled at Algiers, knowing the
difficulties of approaching these coasts at this season
of the year, have already laid in for the whole win-
ter supplies calculated for the consumption of
16,000 or 18,000 men.

" The reduction of the garrison to 5,000 men
will leave three-quarters of these supplies useless,
and will cause a diminution in their value, which will
be the greater, as these goods, having already paid
the duties, upon which there is no drawback, can-
not well be re-exported to another place.
" We learn that the Bey of Titery arrived at
Marseilles on the 29th of December, on board the
Armida. We are assured that this Ex-Sovereign
intends to come to Paris.

" PARIS, JAN. 3.—lt is affirmed that the King of
Spain is going to, invoke the Cortes (estamentos,)
which are composed of the chief personages of the
church, the nobility, and tile municipal councils.
This determination of Ferdinand VII. if it is really
true, may have been caused by the news of the
Polish insurrection, and especially by the liberal ten-
dency of the new policy of England."

(From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday.)

"FRANKFORT, DEC. 27.—Some journals annonnce
that disturbances having broken out in the environs
of Nuremburg, and that the peasantry have driven
away the country magistrates, but that the squadron
of cavalry which was ordered to the spot had suc-
ceeded in restoring order.
" The accounts from Vienna of the 22d of this
month are extremely curious. Austria is arming on
all sides. The troops which have long been in
Italy, and those which have lately been sent thither,
will remain as a corps of observation; but all the
other forces of the empire, and those of Hungary
which can be spared, are going to assemble in Gal-
licia and the other provinces on the frontiers of
Poland. By this means it is intended, at the same
time, to awe the Poles, and to repress the fermen-
tation which has manifested itself at Lemberg, and
in other provinces formerly Polish. The Prince of
Lobkowitz, Governor of Gallicia, has received from
Prince Metternich unlimited powers. He will com-
bine in his person the civil and the military autho-
rities.'

(From the Times.)
We have just received by express from Paris all
the journals, morning and evening, of Tuesday, and
the Gazette de France, and the Massager de:
Chantbres, of Wednesday, with important commu-
nications from our private correspondent.
General Diebitsch had given orders for the ad_
vance of the Russian corps stationed at Wilna.
They were forthwith to commence offensive opera-
tions on the line of march upon Warsaw.

On the 17th of December the whole of the Rus-
sian Royal Guards were ordered to prepare for
active service forthwith; all their camp equipage
was put in marching order during the same day.
The Emperor Nicholas has announced that he would
leave his capital to join the army on the 14th of
January at latest ; his own field-equipage was to be
conveyed with that of the guards.
Private letters received on Tuesday morning in
Paris also state, that the Emperor means on the pre-
sent occasion to strip his brother Constantine alto-
gether of the Crown of Poland, as a punishment,
not for any sins against Polish freedom, but for his
refusal during the late Turkish war, to assist in the
campaign with the required contingent of his troops.
The following proclamation of the Emperor of
Russia, which has not the slightest reference to a
redress of grievances, or a compromise with the in-
surgents, is thought by the writers of these private
letters to put an end to any hope of mediation, to
prevent the clash of arms between the belligerents.
Meanwhile Poland is everywhere calling her patriots
into the field :
