NEW YORK PAPERS.

" VERY LATE FROM VERA CRUZ.—We are
indebted to Captain Kingsbury, of the ship Con-
gress, for Vera Cruz papers to December 17, in-
clusive.

" The paper of the latest date contains a de-
spatch from the military commandant of Tlapan,
dated December 2, in which he states, that on the
30th or-November, 600 men, under command of
the rebel Don Thomas Moreno, made an attack
upon the Government troops posted for the defence
of the town, and kept up a brisk fire from half-past
ten o'clock in the morning until six at night, when
they retired from the intrenchments, leaving behind
them a number of men kille(1, and among the rest
Don Rafael Espinosa. So it appears there are some
insurgents yet unsubdued.
" A company in Tampico are taking measures
to procure steam-boats for the purpose of towing
vessels over the bar at the mouth of the river. Ves-
sels are often delayed for weeks in consequerce of
being unable to get over the bar.
" The number of deaths in Vera Cruz during the
third quarter of 1833, was 580, of which, by Asi-
atic cholera, 437.

" THE FALLING STARS.'—It appears from the
annexed paragraph that the phenomenon of the
Falling Stars' was seen also in Mexico, and if we
can credit the accounts, exhibited appearances even
more extraordinary than were noticed here.
MEXICO, DEC. I.—By letters from Monterey
(New Leon), we learn that on the 13th ult., there
was much excitement in that town, in consequence
of stars having been seen like so many suns, and a
torrent of fire having been discharged from the ex-
tremities of the atmosphere, taking a northerly di-
rection. The papers have announced the occur-
rence of other igneous phenomena in other parts of
the republic. In Monterey the ignorant part of
the population attributed the phenomenon to the
indignation of Heaven, on account of the decrees
abolishing civil obligation for the fulfilment of mo-
nastic vows and fur the payment of tithes.
OAJACA, DEC. s.—They write from Jamiltepec,
under date of the 25th ult., that General Victoria
had arrived there with the troops which he marched
from this city. General Montezuma, the day be-
fore, being on his way to Omotepec, had an engage-
ment with and destroyed 300 men, under the com-
mand of the gachupin Rea, who had come the as-
sistance of the already defeated Canalizo. On the
same 25th of November Colonel Castillo, two
troopers, and two other soldiers, who had been
found dead on the mountain, were interred. Besides
the distresses of a cruel warfare, the settlements
along the coast are suffering greatly from the ra-
vages of the cholera morbus. In the village of San
Cristobal de Pinotepa, which contained 400 inhabi-
tants, it is said that not more than five persons sur-
vive.—Journal of Commerce.
VIRGINIA.—The Committee of the House of
Delegates of Virginia, on the subject of the relations
of the State Banks to the Treasury of the United
States, have agreed, by a vote of 11 to 2, to a dis-
approving of the removal of the money of the gene-
ral Government from deposit in the Bank of the
United States, and recommended that it be restored
to the depository.

discovered.

PARIS, SATURDAY, 4 O'CLOCK, P.M.—The French
courier, hearer of the intelligence relative to the
change of the Spanish Ministty, the substance of
which was anticipated by means of a telegraphic
communication from Bayonne, teaelied Paris on
Thursday. The contents of his despatches have
not, it would seem, been deemed such as to render
necessary any step on the part of this Government
in reference to what has taken place in Madrid. M.
de Z-a's administration had unquestionably the good
wishes of the Ministers of France, hut the friendly
feeling towards the Spanish Government itself has
not diminished on account of his dismissal, or the
choice made to fill his place and the places of the
other members of the Cabinet who went nut with
him. If, therefore, M. de Rayneval were to quit
Madrid in consequence of the change of Ministry,
as I said in my last that he had threatened be
would do, it would be on his own responsibility"
and his proceeding would, according to present
appearance, be wholly disavowed by the Fecal-eh'
Government. It is expected here that the changeY
in the Spanish Cabinet will not be confined
to those which were announced if) the Madrid Ga-
zette of the 16th instant, and that M. Burgos wilt.
have to be superseded by some one who has., not
against him the objectionable denomination of et!
Afrancesados. Meanwhile it is he who, as the oldest
member of the Cabinet, nominally fills the statima
of Prime Minister, and not M. Martinez de la Rosa,
as was erroneously understood from the telegraphic
communication from Bayonne. As M. de la Ron
had superseded AI. de Zea in the Foreign Depaata
ment, it was supposed that he had also assumed the
functions of Premier, exercised by M. de Zea.
The . rumours of an approaching change of the
French Ministry, which have been occasionally put
in circulation within the last two months, have lately
been revived, and many persons who formerly paid
no attention to them now think that they are trot:
quite destitute of foundation. At present, as pre-:
viously, they rest on the supposition that the Cab-
set is divided into two parties, which two parties
differ on a variety of points. If a change or modi-
fication of tits Ministry were, however, to take
place so soon as predicted, it would most
likely be brought about by a cause much more
decisive and urgent in its nature than a mere disa-
greement among the members of the present Cabinet
relative to points which are not of first-rate impor-
tance. The Journal des Debats, with the view of
silencing the rumours on the subject, very proper.y
observes, that in these times a change of Ministry is
only brought about by a vote of the Chambers ex-
pressive of the loss of confidence in the responsible
men who are at the head of the Executive. Hitherto
no such vote having been passed, the Ministerial.
organ arrives at the conclusion that no changes of
Ministry is likely to take place. It is unquestionable
that on all matters of general policy the Chambers
show themselves well disposed towards the present
Ministers. But it is notorious also that on fittaticial
points the majority in the Chamber of Deputies is
not to be always relied on. Now the budget of
the Minister of War is known to have given rises to
more than one difference between that Minister
and the Minister of Finance, and it remains to
pitarstvilol

ties. Marshal Soult will certainly have a great num-
ber of very excellent reasons whereby to vindicate his
exorbitant budget. The armed attitude of the
principal Powers of the continent, their equivocal
friendship towards France, the state of Germany and
of Turkey, form altogether motives sufficiently
powerful to induce the Minister of War to put the
army in such a state as to be ready for any service
that circumstances may call for. A military force of
400,000 regular troops, with an irregular force of
1,000,000 national guards for internal service, form
an amount of defensive means which it will be easy
for the Minister to show in the tribune not to be
too great in the present state of Europe. But the
Ministerial deputies, so invariably tractab'e with
regard. to all other matters, often take odd whims
about economy, and are not unfrequently apt to
vote against some of the most necessary items of the
expenditure. It is, therefore, not quite sure that
the whole budget of the War Department wall
pass; and as the Marshal at the head of that depart-
ment seems resolved to resign in the event of any
of his items being disallowed, the possibility of a
change of Ministry ought to rest, for the present,
on that contingency alone.
We have no foreign news to-day besides that
which you will find in the papers. Z.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-SITTING OF JAN. 21.

At half-past one o'clock the President took the
chair, and proceeded to draw by lot the names of
members for the monthly renewal of the bureaux.
A letter was read from M. Lestapes, re&gning
his seat, in consequence of ill health.
M. Vatoul read a proposition relative to the im-
provement of the cross-roads throughout France,
the principal object of which was the formation in
each department of a commission to be charged with
collecting and transmitting to Government all the
necessary information on the subject.
M. Laffitte presented his proposition relative to
the draining of the marshes in France, and intimated
his intention to enter upon its development on
Tuesday next. The Chamber will take into con-
sideration on the same day the proposition of M.
Bavoux relative to the revival of the law of divorce.

M. Vatoul, reporter of the commission charged
with examining the project of law relative to the
grant of a pension to the widow of Marshal Jourdan,
stated that it was the unanimous opinion of the
commission that the pension should be granted.
With regard to the pensions proposed to be granted
to the widows of Generals de Caen, Daumesnil,and
Gerard, M. Vatoul added, that in the opinion of the
commission these pensions should not be granted.
This opinion, the Hon. Reporter continued, was
founded on the conviction that to entitle the widom
of a military man to a special pension, he should not
only have fought valiantly, but rendered some
eminent and extraordinary service to the country ;
otherwise his widow can only be entitled to the
ordinary allowance fixed by the law. On Monday
the report relative to these four pensions will be
discussed by the Chamber.
The Keeper of the Seals presented a project of
law relative to the publication and sale of the printed
papers cried about and sold in the streets. The
principal dispositions of this project, the Minister
stated, were to make it imperative on the criers,
venders, and distributors of such writings to obtain
a previous authorization from the municipal autho-
rities; and, in the second place, to render such
publications liable to a stamp duty. The penalty
for the publication of such writings without a pre-
vious authorization to be an imprisonment from six
days to two months.
The Keeper of the Seals then applied to the
Chamber to authorise the Procureur-General of the
Cour Royale of Paris to prosecute M. Caber, a
deputy, director of the Populace, for the publica-
tion of two articles in that journal, which the Mi-
nister described as being derogatory to the Royal
dignity, and offensive to the King's person. The
Minister then proceeded to read the articles enu-
merated. At the passage where it is said " that
Louis Philip is ready, if it be necessary, to cause
the people of Paris to be fired on with grape-shot,"
the most violent murmurs arose from the centre
benches.

The proposition relative to the authorization is to
he printed and distributed, and the Chambers are
to meet to-morrow in committee to name a commis-
t.ion to express its opinion as to authorization.
M. Larabit ascended the tribune to declare that it
was his intention to-put some questions to the n-
oisier of War relative to some illegal interference
with the promotioit of the officers of the artillery.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Friday.)
The following is the decree of the Clieen 11:-:gent
by which the change was made in the Sodni,i)
Ministry :—" The service of the Stet, requiring

hat Don Francisco de Zea Bermudez should fill f

the duties which are imposed upon him by his
effective charge as Councillor of State, I have
resolved, in the name of my well-beloved daughter,
Queen Isabella 11., to relieve him from the functions
of Minister of State, remaining satisfied with his
talents, his services, and his tried loyalty. In
consideration of the extensive knowledge of Don
Francisco Martinez de la Rosa, and his well-known
attachment to the person and rights of my well-
beloved daughter, Queen Isabella IL, I appoint him,
in her Royal name, Secretary of State and Minister
for Foreign Affairs. Considering the merit of Dor;
Nicolas Gazeli, and the prof of esteem with which
lie was honoured by my well-beloved consort, in
being called to the Council of Regency, I nomi-
nate him Secretary of State and Minister of
Grace and Ju-tice, and grant the title of Councillor
of State to Dun Juan Gualberto Gonzalez, in ac-
knowledgment of the loyal services which he has
rendered to the State, in discharging the functions
of that department. In consequence of the loyalty
and former services of Don Jose Vasquez Figueroa,
I have deigned to appoint him, in the name of my
dear and well-beloved daughter, Queen Isabella 11.,
Secretary of State and Minister of the Marine. Don
Xavier de Burgos having represented to me that
the numerous occupations of the Ministry of the
Interior, at the head of which he is placed, will not
permit him any longer to give, ad interim, his atten-
tion to the Department of the Finances, I have
called provisionally to these functions Don Josef
Aranalde."

We have received by express the Augsburg Ga-
zette of the 20th inst., from which we take the fol-
lowing, dated Vienna, Jan. 12 :—" All the accounts
we receive from Spain are in favour of the cause of
the Queen, and the stability of her Government. It
is also believed here, that the foreign relations of
that country will soon be settled. It was nothing
but the uncertainty as to the strength of the parties,
and the presumed issue of their struggle, that pre-
vented the greater part of the Cabinets of Europe
hitherto from acknowledging the young Queen.
They were apprehensive of taking decisive steps in
favour of either claimant to the Crown, lest such
party should afterwards fall. This apprehension
having, however, now vanished, it is said that the
Cabinets have resolved to re-establish their former
diplomatic relations with the Court of Isabella."
The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 18th has
the following from Berlin, dated the 14th :—" The
certainty that there is no probability of a change in
the present corn laws of England has discouraged
the inhabitants of the Rhenish provinces, whose last
hopes lay therein ; the manufactories are inactive,
and many persons possessing property are about to
emigrate."

N'Ve have received a file of the Moniteur
Egyptien, a journal lately started at Alexandria.
The number of the 19th of October contains a pom-
pous eulogium on the reign of Mehemet Ali, and
addresses the Viceroy in the following terms :
" We must certainly be strangely blind unless these
results are considered sufficiently brilliant to prevent
our despairing of a country which owes you so much
already. For this you teceive that continued ap.
applause which resounds from the banks of the
Nile to the boundaries of Europe. Yes, Prince,
this is grand, it is noble. Still we venture to sav
it, because we are sure you will not be displeased,
something grander and nobler still remains to be
done, to complete the confusion of your enemies;
it is the happiness of the people subject to your
laws. You have already done much for them,—you
have given them more liberal institutions,—you have
emancipated them from humiliating wrongs,—you
have elevated them to the rank of nations; but mi-
sery still hangs over them; the evils of war have
fallen so heavily upon them that it could not be
otherwise. The time has come at last to realize
all your generous intentions in their favour. Ef.
feet their relief from the state into which
they are plunged, and glory will net have sufficient
wreaths wherewith to bind your brow ; our voices
will not have words enough to bless you." The
freedom of this language, in a land of pure despo-
tism, seems to have made a powerful sensation
among the numerous Europeans of Alexandria, and
we find the following in the next number of the
Moniteur Egyptien :—" Much noise is made in
several circles of Alexandria relative to our last ar-
ticle, which several persons, doubtless well inten-
tioned, have considered too bold. These persons
deceive themselves. .Truth can never offend the
eminent man who governs Egypt. His intention is
to be enlightened by the press. If light be in our
possession, we will not put our candle under a
bushel. It is essential that the Government should
listen to our language, as to that of a friend. No
one more than ourselves owes both love and gratitude
to the august Sovereign of Egypt ; but the expres-
sion of these sentiments cannot make us forget the
object for which he called us to the distinguished
honour of being placed near him, with some other
chosen men, capable of understanding him. To us
has been confided the charge of publishing the acts
of his Government ; to us, then, also the care of
throwing into the crucible the precious metal that
he wishes to employ in them. Mehemet Ali, like
all men who possess extreme power, and who dazzle
the multitude by their eminent qualities,is obliged to
endure courtiers who cringe and speak with beaded
knee before him ; but he only esteems those who
speak to him uprightly with truth upon their lips. We '
value his esteem before all things on this account :
the language of slaves does not become us.— t '
P.S. The preceding article was already printed,
when unfavourable reports were spread abroad rela-
tive to the existence of the Moniteur Egyptien,
which within these few days have gained much con-
sis'ency. The appearance of our journal is the most
striking refutation which can be given to these re-
ports, disseminated by error or evil design. His
Excellency Boghos Bey has given the most positive
assurance that our journal will continue to appear."
The number of October 26 bas the following :
" The ex-Dey of Algiers, some time ago, solicited
permission from his Highness to fix his residence in
Egypt ; this has been granted. The Dey, in con-
sequence, arrived last Thursday, from Leghorn,
with this intention, but he proposes first to make a
pilgrimage to Mecca."
The Council of Djedda having reported to his
Highness that Eve's tomb was falling to ruin, and
that it required 15,000 piastres to restore it, his
Highness has sent the Governor of Djedda an order
to furnish the sum, and to make inquiry as to the
legacies bequeathed to this pious monument, in
order that they may be applied to the salaries of
the persons employed there.
The Lyons papers of Monday state That a dis-
turbance was expected in that town on the preced-
ing day, in consequence of its being announced that
the public criers had resolved .to sell in the streets
certain 'publications of the Societe des Dcoits de
l'Homme, in spite of the interference of the police
on the previous Sunday. A crowd assembled in the
Place de la Prefecture, but as the papers sold were
solely such as had obtained the visa of the police,
the criers were not molested, and every thing passed
off quietly.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
The Moniteur announces that the King has re
ceived a letter from the Grand Duke of Hesse, no-
tifying the marriage of the Hereditary Prince, his
son, with the Princess Matilda of Bavaria; and ano-

ther letter from the King of Hanover, announcing
the birth of a Princess, daughter of the Duke of
Cambridge.
The Bordeaux papers of the 22d inst. give de-
tails of the marches and counter-marches of the
Queen of Spain's troops in the northern provinces,
and the increase of the Carlist bands, without any
important result. The following are the only para-
graphs worth extracting :
" The insurrection in Navarre is making rapid
and alarming progress. The Carlist battalions are
daily increasing, and they become more and more
rapacious7l provisions and clothing. Every town,
