:Paris Papers of the 20th and 21st -have arrived
since our last. - The Chamber of Peers, by'a ma-
jority of 91 to 44, has rejected the resolutions
sent up from the Deputies relative to the.
movability of the Judges. The rumours of au
approaching war between Russia and Turkey are
grea;.ly weaiicneil in credibility by the last ac-
counts ;—indeed no good grOund for hostilities:
has ever yet been mentioned. The-French ninti
continue to advance.

At a late hour last night an express arrived Irmo
Brighton with a report, which is at least so far
credible that there- is nothing impossible or im
probable about it. We. are informed that two
Gentlemen. arrived yesterday at one o'clock, at
Brighton, who left Paris on Friday morning'
they relate that it was a current rumour in that
capital, and had been published in the 'Blurs—
Evening 'Papers, that LAVALETTE bA4
--:6caped from the prison of the Conc,iergerie-

of tLe w;zl, :true: re-
!,.dance and grief, found himself compereci to
reject her prayer for mercy. She obtained, bow-*
ever, the permission to see her husband unre-
servedly, and without witnesses. She went ill
co•lsequence on Tuesday and Wednesday
severaltimes to visit him, and each time, in a difrerenr
dress. On the last occasion of her going she 'e-
duced LAVALETTE to escape in a female dress, sna
herself remained behind in the prison. About na
hour afterwards the scheme was discovered, but
.
though the strictest search was instituted, "
the passports of all persons leaving, Paris were
minutely examined, it is said that LAVALETTE was
not round. wc 4edare that we earag,

We observe from all the provincial Papers be-
longi►►g to the northern part of our` Island,
the winter has set in with great severity. Tile
snow is in manv.placesseveral feet deep, and bad
been falling, without intermission for three or four
days. Front these circumstances, we may exPect
st'►►se interruption to travelling. The Snov:-
plough, to which we called the public atte►►t►on
last year, ought by this time to have been in
universal use.

Washington and Pkiladelphia Papers arril.ed
Saturday. They are chiefly filled with Specula-
tions as to the policy or in►policy of establishing
a chartered Bank, -under the title of " The -Unit'
-cd States Bank." It--appears certain, that M

Madison intends to propose' such a measure t°
the new Congress. Duane, of The Aurora, abaft'
dons the defence of his old patrons upon this sub'
jest. lle says, that it is meant to serve as tbe.
" basis of a most stupendous pecuniary specu-
lation."
The Baltimore and Charleston Papers are
the 20th ult. The Treaty concluded between the
American 'and Algerinc Governments, under the
tenor of the Republican navy, are extremely fa"
vourtble to the former. In addition to the enai
cessions before stated, of money, shippinr.,
other property, the Dev has agreed—" To all°.
the Americans to send into their ports, and alas
pose of them, all prizes which they should cars,
ture from any Power which the United Sttlibter
should in future be
,e war with : and they fur;:r
agree, that in case 'any Power should be at 0
with the United- States, that Power shall. WI
liberty only to scud in their 7,:rizes for suPPUesi
and to remain only 24 hours to procure them, and
not upon any consideration to be permitted to dig"
pose of the vessels or cargoes. The Dey further,
agrees, that. in case an American citizen sboula
be taken under the flag of any other oa.tion• with
whom they may be at war, he shall be immedi-
ately liberated, and given up to. the Consul. /11,
case of the shipwreck of an American vessel, the
Captain shall have permission to land his carg°.
without paying any duties, and may remain tiler°.
until he has an opportunity of re-shipping it, or
the cargo may be disposed of, on paying the ma"'
totnary duties."---(Baltimore Patriot.)
