The news of the arrival of letters of credence to the
Russian Ambassador appears to have given general satisfac-
tion. It has no doubt been considered as a guarantee for
the peace of Europe, and a proof of the existence of a good
understanding with our Government. If these letters had
arrived before the revolution of Warsaw, we should have
had more confidence in the amicable disposition of the
Cabinet of St. Petersburbh ; but now we are inclined to
imagine that it is rather the result of the existing diffi-
culties, which prevents that Cabinet from thinking of a
crusade of absolute Governments against our revolution of
July. If this be so there will be no more than a post-
ponement of the great struggle which mast sooner or later
take place between the triumph of divine right and the
sovereignty of the people ; and this forced delay ought not
to lead us to neglect the necessary preparations for meeting
the inevitable contest.

(From the Journal des Debuts.)

A report was spread that it was the intention of Go-
vernment to give up Algiers. This is not confirmed, and
every thing leads us to believe that Ministers never enter-
tained such an idea.

(From the Quotidienne.)

It is rumoured that General Clausel received a 'revere
check on his last expedition against Blida, and that de-
spatches received by the Minister of War, although they
attempt to extenuate the consequences, ask for a reinforce-
ment of troops.
(From the Journal du Commerce.)
It appears that the English Cabinet has made great
efforts is favour of the Prince of Saxe Coburg. The
question caused a warm discussion among the Ministers of
the Great Powers. It is said that the French Ambassador
opposed the election of this Prince with so much warmth
and perseverance, as nearly to cause the negociations to be
broken off.

A letter from Switzerland announces that the militia of
that country will only be directed towards Piedmont and
the Austrian frontier as a protection against invasion,
the confidence of the Diet in France rendering every
precaution on that side unnecessary.
Extract of a private letter from Warsaw, dated Dec. 27 :
—" The palatinate of Lublin (Russian Poland) has just
offered the Government 50,000 men. Count Zamousky
is equipping a regiment at his own expence. There are
in the army 12,000 soldiers who served under Napoleon,
and 300 officers decorated with the Legion of Honour.
The 21411 regiment of the line, which acted on the first
day, has set out for the frontiers. Previous to their de-
parture they requested their Colonel to take them to the
fortifications now erecting by the citizens. On their arri-
val there they formed a square. The soldiers then knelt
down, and swore that they would not fire again, but would
attack the Russians with the bayonet only, and be killed
sooner than surrender. The Ist regiment of Lancer•, a
fine troop, has marched. The enthusiasm is at the highest
pitch, and exceeds all imagination."
The St. Petersbursjh Gazette of December 21 contains
the following :—" The Grand Duke Constantine, by a
letter of 13th instant, acquaints the Emperor with his ar-
rival on that day within the Government of Volhynia,
having pa sed the Bug near Wladowa with all the Rus-
sian Guards that came with him from Poland. The
Minister of the 1 nterior announces that the cholera
morbus having ceased in the Governments of Kootroma
and Yarosloff, the cordon which surrounded the last named
town had been withdrawn on the 23d of November, and
the intercourse between the two ports restored. On the
15th of November twelve were attacked with the disease,
at Moscow, two were cured, and ten died; on the 18th in
the morning there were 183 sick, of whom 99 were ex-
pected to recover. In the course of that day eighteen
were attacked, thirty were cured arid eight died ; so that
on the 17th in the morning there remained 163 sick, of
whom ninety were expected to recover.
According to accounts of the 22d from Lisbon, very
heavy storms had prevailed for some days upon the coast
of Portugal, by which serious mischief had been done to
the shippi❑g. A French sloop of war, which sailed on
the 20th, returned on the 22d, having in tow a French
schooner that had lost all her masts. The same day a
Russian armed steamer entered the port with a leak and a
mast gone. A Hamburg merchant brig, the Ilenrietta
Frederica, which arrived on the 20th, brought the crew,
consisting of a master and six men, of a Swedish vessel,
the Bolivar, which was completely dismasted, a❑d ready
to founder. The English vessel Childc Ilarold, from
London, had also lost a mast, and gained the port with
great difficulty. The English steamer Confidence, bound
for Gibraltar, met on the 17th, south-west of Cape de
Roca, a French transport vessel, with all her masts gone.
She had on board 500 men of troops bound to Franee
from Algiers. The streets of Lisbon are thronged with
beggars, there being no workhouses or charitable institu-
tions for the reception of tile indigent. A few days pre-
vious to the date of these accounts, one hundred unhappy
prisoners, condemned to transportation for political offences,
were put on board the barge Uranie, which sailed, not-
withstanding the perils she was exposed to from the tem-
pestuous weather.

Persia is at this moment a prey to a horrible civil war.
The eldest son of the Shah has raised the standard of re-
bellion and marched against his father. Prince Abbas
Mirza hastened to the succour of his father, and is fighting
against his brother. A great part of his army is orga-
nized and trained upon the Eurepean principle. The in-
habitants of the Caucasus, habitually impatient at the yoke
of Russia, have also risen in insurrection in some parts
near the Black and Caspian Seas. A detachment of the
Russian army has been attacked on the road to TifflA,
where it lost two pieces of cannon. Marshal Paschewitz
d' Erivan has orders to employ considerable forces, in or-
der to subdue and punish the rebels.
By an Ordinance of the 20th ult., the Austrian Govern-

ment has prohibited the exportation for Poland of arms,
scythes, pikes, and ammunition.

By the German Papers we learn that the
Emperor of RUSSIA is said to have fixed on the
Bth of January for his army to enter into
Poland. The number is estimated at 150,000
