HAMBURGH, Nov. 15, 1836.
UR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH,
a'nd to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
'only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
'lO/.' W., or 301,, for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
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.
HEINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1836.

We have received this morning the whole of the
Paris papers of Wednesday and Thursday. The jour-
nals of Wednesday contain disastrous accounts of the
French expedition against Constantine. They state,
on the authority of letters and papers from Toulon,
that Marshal CLAUSEL, after canonading Constantine

for several days, was compelled, owing to the great
scarcity of provisions, and the sallies of the besieged,
to retire from before the city on the 22d ult, The
failure of an expedition which was to have covered the
Duke DE NEMOURS with glory has cast a deep gloom
over the Royal Family. The despatches received by
the Government have not been published, which is a
bad omen. The Ministerial prints, however, are slow
to admit the truth of rumours so inauspicious. They
surmise an abundance of reasons for doubting the cor-
rectness of the intelligence communicated by the arri-
vals from Africa. They profess not to believe that the
Arabs were so well supplied with artillery as to be
able to cope with Marshal CLAUSEL i❑ the field;

though they admit that their knowledge of the
country, and the heavy rains which fell after the 12th,
might have deterred the advance of an army less brave
than the French. Notwithstanding the existence of
so many rumours, the Government continued silent up
to the evening of Thursday. Ministers allowed it to
be stated in their name, that the Government had re-
ceived no despatches of a later date than the 18th ult.,
four days before the reported defeat of Marshal
CLAUSEL before Constantine. Be this as it may, we
see no cause for excessive regret, should the accounts
received prove as correct as the enemies of France
could desire. The Bey of CONSTANTINE cannot
long hold out against France. The conquest of his
territory may be delayed by the valour of the Arabs,
but it cannot .be wholly prevented, 'unless he Obtain
the assistance of other than Numidian allies. The
French cannot fail to make themselves masters of the
country, if they will only allow themselves time.
Ministers are as busy as bees preparing to meet the
Chambers. The idea of a coalition of parties is given
lip, and preparations are on foot for sustaining an open
contest with M. TRIERS and the Opposition. For
this purpose the subject of an intervention in Spain is
again brought on the tapis. This is the point upon
which the Government is most vulnerable, and it is
fr:ared that it is against this point TRIERS will direct
all his most powerful attacks. Should he expose the
hollowness of the KING, all would be lost. This the
KING is well aware of, and, it is said, that the Princess
ADELAIDE, the KING'S sister, is charged to come to
any teems with the Ex-President, if in his visits to
her Royal Highness he betray a design of laying bare
the policy of the Court. This Princess is the soul of
her Royal. Brother's councils. Without appearing to
take an active part in politics, she manages, in concert
with Vac KING, to direct the whole machine of Gn-
verranent. Her suavity of manner, her apparent ti-
m'ality, her irreproachable private life, take from her
the dangerous exterior of a political intriguante.
Calumny never dared to breathe a stain upon
the spotless purity -of her private character, and
the manner in which she has employed her influ-
ence over the mind of the KING must convince all
that she is solely influenced by her fraternal feelings,
without one atom of selfishness. But though wholly
regardless of self, yet where the interests and the glory
of her family are concerned, her ambition is as bound-
less as is that of Louis PHILIPPE. To him she is
a second self, and through her are those appeals made
to the feelings of persons in power, or aspiring to Court
savour, which etiquette permits not to escape the lips
of the SOVEREIGN.—We regret to state that the dis-
tress which prevailed among the workmen of Lyons is
rather on the increase. One hundred thousand poor
families are in want of bread. The Prefect had autho-
rized a collection to be made for the sufferers, but the
result of this appeal to the humanity, of the nation is
