HAMBIIRGH, Nov. 15, 1836.
UR Friends, and all those. who may have to write
® to us, are requested to be panicular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Posialr
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
I°/•' instance, 201., or 301., for if remitted in One Bank of End"
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted '9
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there"
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to lialn;
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, will
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to Englau
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, rouY
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these particulars.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1836•

The French Papers of Thursday contain the conelw
sion of Marshal CLAUSEL'S account of the utter 60
ure of the expedition against Constantina. The senins,s;
tion which it has created in Paris is astounding.
Ministers are in despair. Since the ever-memorgble
retreat from Moscow, the French arms have not e3f-
perienced a repulse more calamitous. The troops e
fered dreadfully during thcir march. In one night thel
number frozen to death is said to have exceeded lie
thousand five hundred men. Hundreds perished in the
rivers, and many wet e unable to proceed in conseque°
of excessive fatigue. All who fell behind were but-
chered by the Arabs without mercy. The folio° :f
letter from an officer of the expedition, descriptive
the sufferings of the men, has been forwarded here e
the Paris correspondent of our Contemporary tii
Morning Post

" Bona Nov. 30. ~
We arrived here this morning. The e'x'pedition iS ;

complete failure. It is not of our success that I l'ave,:c
speak, but
had reason to hope for at first. We have "iicar
deceived, but we found whom to speak to. -",-..
means were too inferior to carry such a place. Weitil3 (;
been three days before Constantina, have thrown "-°„lt
projectiles into the place, and mounted twice to the assreta
in vain. When a retreat became inevitable, our men 4-5
nothing left to eat—horses bad no forage for three cl3/or
past—and we were driven upon the town by 10,0°° 5
12,000 horse of Achmed's, who thought that not one of oe
should escape. We had eight (lays of march to this phic :
and our ammunition was wholly expended. 'We 1)ve!
