manded by Admiral Lazarieff, had left Odessa for Circas-
sift, in order to bring.back to their winter quarters the
r(ops employed against the Circassian: during the summer
icampaign. Armaments are sell carried on in Southern
Russia, where 100,000 men are already assembled. A
still larger force will era long be concentrated in that

quarter.
WARSAW, OM 2.—" The British Consul in our city,
Colonel Barnett, has left for Cracow, to obtain information
on the late political murder committed in that republic.
We are astonished that an English Consul should have been
furnished with a passport for such an ohject, 'as it appears
positive that the three Powers have protested against the
presence of an English agent in the country. Mr. Barnett
evades, by this visit the measures taken against hint. No
one can account for such a contradiction."
A letter from Odessa, of the sth instant, mentions the
arrival at Sebastopol, on the 14th ultimo, of Baron Barante,
the Ambassador. of France in Russia.
According to the Frankfort Gazelle of the 20th instant,
the young Galician student, charged with the murder of the
Russian secret agent at Cracow, had died of the flogging
inflicted on him in order to extort a confession.
. the intelligence from St. Domingo received
in Paris comes down to the latter end of August. A seri-
ous conflict had arisen between the two Legislative Cham-
bers of that Republic on a question of supplies. The
Chamber of Representatives vindicated, in virtue of the
57th article of the Constitution, which vets in it the right
of initiative in all matters connected with taxes, the exclu-
sive privilege of framing the customs laws. The Senate,
on the other hand, claimed that right for the Executive, in
vi•tue of another article of the Constitution, which confers
on the President the power of making comm, rcial as well as
political treaties. The question was the more important,
as almost the entire revenues of Hayti accrue from customs
duties. The conflict was still pending at the departure of
the last packet from Port-au-Prince.
FRENCH AFRICA.—A letter of the 12th instant, from
Algiers, makes mention of the violation of the French ter-
ritory by upwards of '2OO Hadjoutes, who had made an
unsuccessful attempt to carry off several inhabitants from
their farms at.Beni Mouca. The commattidant of the camp
at Bouffarik had ordered out a part of his garrison, consist-
ing of the African Chasseurs, who dispersed and killed se-
veral of the assiiilants.

Prince Talleyrand in or about the year 1815 established
a majorat of 30,000 f. per annum in the public funds, with
the reversion after his death to his brother, Count
Archambaud de Perigord. The Count having died in the
life-time of the Prince, the reversion descended to the Duke
de Dino, son and heir of Count Archambaud. The
Duke's creditors, however, gave notice to the depositary of
the letters patent founding the majorat not to pay over the
income to the Duke until they should be satisfied of their
claims. Upon this the Duke commenced proceedings at
law, maintaining that majorats are not liable to seizure.
The case, which has been pleaded at several sittings before
the Tribunal de Premiere Instance, came to its final hear-
ing on Saturday, when it was decided that, according to
the terms of Article 31 of the decree of Ist March, 1808,
majorats are not liable to the claims of creditors, and, there-
fore, that the proceedings of the creditors of the Duke de
Dino were illegal. They were consequently condemned in
costs.—Galignani's ilfessenfter.
" We have great pleasure," says the Siecle, " in stating
that, according to the accounts from the departments
surrounding Paris, the price of corn is falling, and that
the price of the 41b. loaf, first quality, will in all proba-
bility not exceed its present rate, fifteen sous, this winter,
but will be reduced to fourteen or fourteen and a-half
sous. The harvest has been rather under the general
average, but, at the same time, is sufficient for the demand.
It has been a month later than usual, which has caused
a temporary scarcity ; and, as the first portions of the corn
thrashed out have been wanted for seed, the farmers have
had so little corn to spare for grinding that most of the
mills within twenty•five leagues of Paris have been unem-
ployed for a week. Speculators have taken advantage
of these circumstances, and raised the price of flour beyond
its legitimate rate, compared with that of corn."
ODESSA OCT. s.—On the 20th ult., a fleet composed
of three ships of the line, five frigates, and nine smaller
vessels, sailed from Sebastopol, under the command of
Admiral Lazar-ff. Some say that the force is bound for
Trebizonde, where the Russians are about to form an esta-
blishment ; others, that some English merchants having
made numerous shipments of warlike stores for the coast of
Circassia, the fleet is to counteract this operation. The
fact is, that the fleet has steered for the Circas•isn toast
for the purpose of bringing back into winter quarters the
troops which have been in active service during the stam-
mer. No new expedition against Circassia will be under-
taken before the spring. The armaments in the south of
Russia are still continued ; upwards of 100,000 men are
ready to march at the first signal, and a much more
considerable force will shortly be prepared for service.
The accounts in the foreign journals of the resignation
of the Governor Generalship of Bessarabia, by Count
Woronzow are erroneous ; he still remains in possession of
his high office.

The Madrid Papers of the 15th instant announce
the return of Sir GEORGE VILLIERS, the British
Ambassador to the Spanish Court. The new Minis-
try has commenced its career by the appointment of a
Commission of Inquiry into the present state of the
national finances.

The German papers, received this morning, speak
but indifferently of the extent of purchases at the great
annual fair of Leipsic. The purchasers from Walla-
chia, Moldavia, and Poland, were numerous, but very
few merchants attended from Prussia, Posen, Pome-
rania, Silesia, or Hungary. Fancy articles and silks
were in most demand. Merinos and fine woollen
stuffs were principally bought for the Ameri-
can market. As the coronation at Milan had
lightened the stock of silks, the quantity in the mar-
ket was not disproportioned to the demand, which
greatly contributed to keep up the price. The de-
mand for plain French silk ribbons was very brisk.
The first of the following extracts from these Jour-
nals confirms the account which we published yester-
day, relative to the cessation of all official intercourse
between the Courts of Berlin and Rome :
BERLIN, Ocr. 12.—1 t is now decided that the part of
the establishment of the Prussian Legation still at Rome
shall also quit that c.;pital ; and thus all diplomatic inter-
course with the Holy See will be broken off. A Roman
Abbe will probably be commissioned to carry on the eccle-
siastical correspondence, unless a member of another Lega-
tion should undertake this business. The Munich Political
Gazette lately published a letter, which thirty Roman
Catholic clergymen in Silesia were said to have addressed
to the Prince-Bishop of Breslau. Immediately alter the
publication of this letter by the Munich Political Gazette,
an investigation was instituted by the police, which, as we
hear, has only shown that the letter in question does not
exist, or at least that it has not been signed by 30 Roman
Catholic clergymen. There is rather cause to conjecture
that such a letter was drawn up by a well-known lawyer,
but that nothing came of it. The Rotnish Clergy in Si-
lesia, as well as the Roman Catholic inhabitants, are too
good Germans, and too loyal for a document like the one
in question to find 30 Ministers of the Church to sign it.
Memar, OCT. 16.—The 19th October is the day on
which the return of the Queen from Trieste is still expected.
His Majesty is expected this evening. Duke Max of
Leuchtenberg, with his attendants, set out this morning
on his journey. He goes by way of Warsaw, where he
will be received by the Emperor's Aid-de-Camp, Colonel
Prince Wrede. The last accounts of the health of Field-
Marshal Prince Wrede are more satisfactory.--Allgenzeine
