ppr, .aching E.lrlv,l of !.1:c Eq;lisL 11Let, v.hich Houid pie-
bably contrive to prevent the saving of the Turkish squad,
ron, such an effect was produced that Achmed
following rather the impulse that was given him, than his
own counsel, left the Dardanelles, and proceeded to
Alexandria.

Letters and Papers from Madrid of the 28th
ult. have been received. They bring no news -of
the least importance either from that capital, or
the theatre of war. The belligerents on both sides
were suffering greatly from cold and scarcity of pro-
visions. Carlist desertions were very numerous. On
the Bourse little business was done. The Five
per Cents. Active were at 274, with little demand.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday are
occupied with the New Year's Day addresses to
the KING, which afford the Opposition papers an
abundance of food for sarcastic merriment. It is
really time such a ridiculous ceremony, which can-
not fail greatly to embarass the Government, and
the Chambers should be abolished.

The number of French troops already embarked
for Africa is 10,600 of all arms. About 20,000
more are under orders to be ready to sail at an
hour's notice. A letter from Oran of the 12th
ult. states that war had commenced in that pro-
vince, and the garrison was in expectation of being
speedily attacked.

The Russian expedition against Chiva has ex-
cited the liveliest interest in Paris. " It is towards
India," says the National, " that the ambitious
views of Russia are now turned. The march of
an army of 32,000 men, provided with numerous
artillery, cannot merely have for its object the chas-
tisement of a savage horde; which the tribes of the
Khirgese could easily reduce to order. The navi-
gation of the Oxus ceases only within a few days'
mareh of Cabul. The Russian*, once masters of
that river, and of the towns on its banks, may ad-
vance on the capital of the English feudatory,
Shah SooJAir, with raore perfect ease than would
a corps of army proceeding from Herat."
On learning the death of his revered mother on
Thursday, Lord BROUGHAM immediately` started
for London. His departure was so sudden that he
did not wait to take leave of his niece, who was out
walking.
The Temps publishes a letter from Milan, of
the 27th, which states that Count DE HARTIG,
Governor of Lombardy, had been instructed from
Vienna to form a military cordon on the frontier
of Switzerland immediately on the receipt of a re-
quest to that effect ftom the Count DE BOAIRELLES
the Austrian Minister at Berne.
