LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1834.

The Paris papers of Monday, which arrived
this morning, state that the accounts which had
just been received there, were re-assuring, and
the quotations of the funds show that little ap-
prehension is entertained at Paris of a war with
Russia. The Ministerial prints speak with great
confidence on this point, and we know that
Prince TALLEYRAND holds similar language in
London ; but there is reason to believe that they
found their hopes of the continuance of peace
less on any indications of a spirit of concession
on the part of Russia, than on a belief that the
extensive demonstrations of Great Britain and
France will induce the Russian Cabinet to
desist from prosecuting its views on Constanti-
nople. There is no news of importance, in
the French papers, from Spain. It is again
stated that the Curate MERINO has passed over
to Portugal, as a fugit;ve. The statements re-
specting this erratic personage are, however,
rarely to be relied upon. The debate on the
address, in the Chamber of Deputies, was again
postponed. It was expected that the conclusion
of the sitting would be very stormy.
The following are the quotations of the Paris

A Morning Paper contains the following
paragraph :

" The Hamburg Correspondent of the 27th ult. con-
tains an advertisement, occupying nearly three columns,
consisting of a supplementary list of the names of indivi-
duals in Poland whose property is ordered to be confis-
cated, or who are declared incapable of succeeding to the
inheritance of their parents."

We expected something of this sort, and were
not, therefore, like some of our contemporaries,
led away with admiration of the clemency of the
Czar, on reading in the Berlin State Gazette
that he had pardoned, on his Saint's day, fifty
Poles who were implicated in the late revolt. It
appears that there are certain days even in Russia
on which the show of Christian charity is consi-
dered necessary, and the Saint's day of the EM-
PEROR is one of them. Probably, however, that
day would have passed over without even this
show of clemency, if it had not become necessary
to attempt the verification of the old adage,

that " the devil is seldom so black as he is
painted." The name of the Emperor of R us-
SIA was stinking in men's nostrils, and the
Berlin State Gazette, ashamed, for its master's
sake, of the connection with the Autocrat, eagerly
laid hold of this poor endeavour to appear mer-
ciful, to extend the knowledge of the fact, and laud
the clemency of its author. To what, however,
does this amount ? Fifty Poles, who were impli-
cated in the late revolt, have been pardoned. Had
they been proved guilty, this clemency would
not have been much ; but how easy was it
for the EMPEROR to have the names of
fifty persons really
_innocent of revolt returned
