FRENCH PAPERS.

Pants, Nov 29.—The news of a serious check experi-
enced by Mina, which we mentioned with extreme distrust,
is not confirmed. 'inc letter which spoke of it was dated
from Bayonne, the 24th, and letters of the 25th, written by
persons worthy of credit, positively affirm that no serious en-
gazement had taken place. On the other hand, we know
from an authentic source, that important resources, and five
millions of reels, which are perhaps still more necessary, have
been sent to Mina, whose health appears to be better. We
may, therefore, now expect to see him prosecute his opera-
tions with the vigour and promptness of which he has given
such frequent proofs.
The report of the Portuguese intervention is not confirmed.
We arc yet ignorant of the effect which the accession of a
Tory Cabinet has produced in Biscay, and we can still less
know yet what effect it has had at Madrid.
The most perfect tranquillity continues to prevail at Madrid.
A great number of members of the opposition have openly
joined the Ministry, at least on vital questions.
The prospects of the country, which have been so long un-
fortunate, appear every day more and more favourable.—
Constitutionntl, Nov. 30.
PAnis, Nov. 30.—The Bon Sens says—. Mina is at the
head of 15,000 men. The Juntas of Guipuscoa and Navarre
are constantly pursued by the troops, and in their flight have
left papers which are said to implicate some important per-
sonages.
Lord Brougham's arrival at Paris could not fail to produce
some sensation in the political circles. His first visit was to
M. Dupin, and the first invitation to dinner which he ac-
cepted was to the Duke de Broglie's. On the evening of the
28th, he was at the English Ambassador's, when there were
1,500 of the most distinguished persons in Paris, at a party
which it is supposed will be the last, as Lord Granville wifl
probably cease his functions at our Court very shortly. The,
Duke of Orleans and many Ministers and Ambassadors were
present at this brilliant assembly.
Lord I3fougham was heard to express himself very plainly
respecting the Wellington Administration, which he declared
he .'iought must fall before the Parliament. We hear that
he intends to remain here till the sitting of the Academy of
Sciences on the Bth of December. It is supposed be will
leave Paris in a few days afterwards.—Messager, Nov. 30.

SEPT. 13.—The Chamber of Deputies having applied for

under the pretext of pursuing the emigrants, subjects of that
Republic, who have declared in favour of General Lavelleja,
the Minister for Foreign Affairs communicates, by order of
the Regency, to the Chamber of Deputies, the whole of the
correspondence which has taken place with the Imperial Go-
vernment on this important subject. The reading of the strict
orders given by the Imperial Government will show that it has
always been careful to take the necessary seel s, both to main-
tain the tranquillity of the province of San Pedro, by expelling
from it the said emigrants, who abused the hospitality afforded.
