FRENCH PAPERS.

(From` the Etoile qf Monday, Dec. 19.)

PARIS, DEC. great Prince is dead ; ge-
nerous and magnanithous, the Emperor Alexander will leave
a long remembrance of his reign and of his noble qualities.
The elevation of his character, the disinterestedness of his po-
licy, arc universally known. His loss will be deeply felt.
The Emperor Alexander had long had a disorder in one leg,
and it is supposed that the humours may have ascended, and
caused his death.

The present Emperor, the Grand Duke Constantine, was
born May 8, 1771). This Prince is plunged into the most pro-
found affliction. 'lle was warmly attached to his brother. The
Emperor Alexander had just named his brother Viceroy of
Poland, and he was at Warsaw when he learned that he was
going to ascend the Throne.
The last act of the Emperor Alexander, published at:St.
Petersburg!), was an Ukase to manifest his particular favour to k
the town of Taganrog, and to give it all possible means to im-
prove its poet. In this Ukase, slated the 31st October, the
Emperor ordered that a tenth part of the duties of Customs
taken there should be employed in the amelioration of its port,
and in the construction of the buildings necessary for its com-
merce, and proportioned to its importance.
The Emperor had just appointed a Committee, of which the
Senator Dutlenski teas President, for the improvement of the
situation of the cities of the Empire.
We yesterday quoted from a German Journal, what is said
in a Prussian Almanack of the Grand Duke Nicholas, whom
it callwiteir to the Throne. A Journal keying endeavoured to
give importance to this article of an Almanack, we think it
proper to say that the Grand Duke Constantine having no
children by his first marriage, anti those of the second mar-
riage not being entitled to inherit the throne of Russia, it is
very natural that the Prussian Almanack should call the
Grand Duke Nicholas heir to the throne to which he will be
called after his brother the Emperor Constantine.—( Note of
the Etoik.)
BERLIN, DEC. 4--:The panic which has been felt on the
Exchange of Paris and that of London, has spread among the
speculators in Berlin. Every body was seeking to exchange
his paper for silver, which it is very difficult:go procure. The
expresses from Paris are impatiently expected.
