FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the French Papers of Saturday.) ,
The Messager says—" A report is in circulation 'that the
Ministry is again on the eve of resigning in a body. The
draught of a speech to be delivered by the King was, it is
said, read in the Council, and met, on the part of his Ma-
jesty, the strongest opposition, not only as to the speech in
question, but to any speech being delivered. The Ministers
persisting in requiring the session to be opened by the King
in person, matters proceeded so far, that if the convocation of
the two Chambers should not appear in the Moniteur for a
Royal sitting, the Cabinet may be considered to be broken up.
We do not guarantee the accuracy of the report."
Lord Brougham arrived yesterday at the Hotel Meurice.
The Court of Peers was yesterday as numerously attended
as on the preceding days. The reading of the report was
resumed, and continued the special facts relating to the
affair of Lyons, the classes of which, on Thursday, went down
to the sth. The 6th was the north of:Lyons, or the quarter
of the Garden of Plants and the Hotel.de-Ville. The number
incriminated in this division is eleven, among whom are
the chief Marigny, and his second in command, Correa, a
Portuguese ; 7th, La Croix-Rousse, comprehending 37 crimi-
nals, including a person named Carrier, who appears to have
acted as chief in this quarter ; Bth, St. Paul, St. Jean, and
St. Georges, or the quarter of Pierre Seize, and the Cathe-
dral. the criminals in which amount to 16, including M. Mu-
rard de St. Romain, against whom it appears only one wo-
man deposed, and whose testimony was contradicted by her
daughter ; 9, St. Juste or the Old Town : the number in-
volved is 19 ; 10th, the quarter of Perrache, there is only one
person in the report ; 11th, Da Guillotiere and les Brotteaux
furnish 37 criminals. The total_ of the persons at Lyons in-
criminated in this day's report is 115, which being added to
the 68 reported on the preceding day. makes in the whole 182.
Among the several rebel chiefs named there is an Englishman
called Wurth.

It is now positively stated that the idea of another speech
from the throne, upon which the Council has been for several
days in discussion, is finally abandoned.
The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 26th instant, says that
the Captain-General of Arragon has published an order of
the day, according to which all persons who enter the volun-
teer corps now forming will be exempted from half the usual
period of service, in case they should be drawn as conscripts.
The rebel Carnicier, who with 1,000 of his partisens had ad-
vanced towards Arragon, has been repulsed, with the loss of
half his men, by the Queen's troops.
The Sentinelle des Pyrene'es of Bayonne of the 25th inst.
has the following :—" A sanguinary battle took place on the
20th, in the environs of Estella, between Zumalacarregui and
Mina, in which the latter is said not to have gained the honours
or the day. A report is current at Lesaca that the Queen's
troops had 2,000 men put hors de combat, and that the field of
battle remained in the possession of the Carlists."
The Augsburg Gazette quotes the funds at Vienna on the
20th inst., Metallies, 5 per Cents., 993 ; ditto 4 per Cents.,
21 ; Bank Actions, 1,275.
The Prussian State Gazette of the 23d inst. has the follow-
ing :—" The Grand Duke of Weimar has arrived at Berlin,
and taken up his abode in the Palace of Prince Charles, as
also the Prince of Orange with his son. Prince Paul Ester-
hazy has arrived from Vienna. Yesterday there was a bril-
liant parade of the troops in garrison at Berlin, at which the
Emperor of Russia was present with the King, and other
members of the Royal Family. The Emperor, headed by the
Curassier regiment, which bears his name, and the Crown
Prince of Russia, took the lead of his Uhlan regiment in fil-
ing off. The Empress and the Princesses of the Royal Family
witnessed the spectacle from the Palace of the Princess de
Leignitz. Our Funds, yesterday, were 4 per Cents. cash,
991; paper, 100."
Arm, Nov. 29.—The Courrier Francais, copying this
morning the latest reports respecting the Ministry, which we
published yesterday evening as report, says—" Without pre-
tending to contradict the article of the Messager. we shall
content ourselves with stating some facts which are known to
us, and which do not agree with those contained in the Mes-
sager ; but without pretending to infer that the Ministry is not
in a state of dissolution, we confess that the news seems to us
to be very doubtful this.evening, though we do not dissemble
that it may be true to-morrow morning. Seeing the rancour
which prevails in the Cabinet, we are obliged to confess that
between this and Monday all may be overturned."
The facts of which the Courrier speaks are, that Messrs.
Thiers and Guizot found the King so averse to opening the
session with a speech, that they were obliged to yield ; but
they still hope to have a kind of opening of the Chambers by a
Royal Commission.

The Constitutionnel and the Temps both agree that the
Doctrinaires have sustained a check, and that the speech is
given up. But it seems that they have not yet abandoned the
idea; we find this morning in the Renovateur, a journal which
is printed at 10 o'clock, the following paragraph :
" At the moment of our going to press, we are informed
that the pens& immuable has yielded to the demands of the
Doctrinaires, and that it is resolved that the Ministry shall ap-
pear before the Chamber with a speech calling for the concur-
rence and support of the deputies. It is added that M. Thiers
said yesterday evening to a ministerial member, ' If we do not
have the majority, we have only two resources left—to cashier
the Chamber, or to proclaim a dictatorship.' The Ministry
must have a very mean opinion of the deputies, if it thinks to
intimidate them by such gasconade. 'Will this new triumph of
the .Doctrinaires, if it is real, consolidate their power for any
length of time ?—Messager, Nov. 29.
BOURSE, SATURDAY.—The settling day for the options or
primes has occasioned a great deal of business in the market.
At the opening the price was 77f. 35c. buyers, but it declined
gradually to 77f. 15c. It is confidently reported that the King
will not go to the Chambers on Monday next, thus no speech
will be delivered. There is a strong report that the Ministers
are dissatisfied, and that if they do not at the beginning of the
Session propose the Amnesty Law, the President of the Cham-
ber, M. Dupin, has declared that he would himself lay it on
the table.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

ANTWERP, Nov. 28.—Accounts from Batavia of 10th July
announce that a law had just been promulgated there, by
which all cotton and woollen manufactures, imported either by
national or foreign ships, respecting which proof could not be
given that they are manufactured in countries in amity with
Holland, shall pay a duty of 50 per cent. instead of 25, which
they had hitherto paid, when they were imported by Dutch
ships, and 75 per cent. when imported by foreign ships. It
seems that the goods laden on board the Dutch ship Anjer,
for account of the Society of Cotton Manufacturers, which
arrived immediately after the promulgation of this law, were
obliged to pay 50 per cent. This is the coup de grace for the
society. We regret that respectable manufacturers should
have been the dupes of false hopes. Our prophecies begin
to be fulfilled.—Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, Nov. 29.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 29.—His Majesty yesterday gave audience
to the Chevalier d'Arquin, who delivered an autograph letter
from her Majesty the Queen Regent of Spain.
Yesterday at noon the deputation of the Cotton Manufac-
turers of Belgium had the honour of a private audience of
His Majesty at the Palace of Laeken.
The Courrier Belge says—" Further information, confirm-
ing what we have already received, authorises us to affirm again
that the Dutch troops nearest to our frontiers have received,
and continue to receive, reinforcements. Our Minister of
War must have been informed of it. This fact is at the same
time in accordance with the order given to provision Bois-le-Duc
for six weeks, and to employ increased vigilance with regard
to strangers who desire to enter Holland; an order which the
Dutch Generals themselves published a few days ago. We
do not, however, mean to pretend now that the season is so
far advanced, that there is any thing immediately hostile in
view on the part of the King of Holland ; but these measures
will serve to explain in what sense William I. understands the
change in the Ministry of William IV.—Brussels Papers,
Nov. 30.

Information was given on Saturday morning at the
office of H. Gell, Esq., the Coroner for Westminster, that a
middle aged gentleman had been brought to the workhouse in
Poland-street, he having suddenly dropped down dead in the
street. On his person were found notes and gold to the amount
of upwards of 7001., a valuable watch, and other property, be-
sides papers, which it is thought will afford a clue to his
identity.

" December 1, 1834.

" MY LORD,-It is my painful duty to inform you that
I have just now received the information of the death of
his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, at Bagshot
Park, yesterday evening, at twenty minutes before seven
o'clock, after a severe illness of a fortnight's duration, which
he bore with the greatest fortitude, resignation and piety.
" I have the honour to be,
" Your Lordship's most obedient and humble servant,
(Signed) " WELLINGTON."
" To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."

The Advertiser of this morning mentions that the
Duke of WELLINGTON has declared his intention
not to accept any office in the new Cabinet, which, our
cotemporary seems to think, will have Lord STANLEY
or Sir R. PEEL as its head. The News of yesterday,
on the contrary, says—and with considerable show of
justice—that Lord STANLEY will have nothing to do
with the new Administration ; while, with respect to
our contemporary's assertion about the Duke, we can-
not bring ourselves to place the slightest reliance on it.
It is merely one of those thousand and one rumours
which are just now so rife about town. While on this
subject, we may observe that the John Bull says,—
" Sir R. PEEL, before his departure for Italy, not
only privately, but publicly, avowed his readiness to
put himself at the head of the Ministry, whenever his
MAJESTY should see fit to command his services."
If this be true, it tends still further to prove that
intrigue—deep, quiet, persevering intrigue--bas been
at the bottom of all the late movements. Our readers,
however, may be assured that the people are fully
awake to the peculiarity of their position, and that
the Reformers are busily engaged, in all quarters,
in taking steps to secure the return of the popular
candidates.

" Fair play is a jewel the spirit of this maxim
we have to apologize to our readers, and to the Duke
of WELLINGTON in particular, for some very intem-
perate observations, reflecting on the character of his
Grace, which appeared in a leading article in The Sun
of Saturday. The article was written, and went to
press, in the absence of the principal Editor, who
would not have permitted its insertion had he seen it
previous to the publication of the Paper. The Sun
opposes the Noble Duke's return to office solely on
political grounds. In his private capacity, we are
firmly persuaded, in common with our countrymen,
that the Duke of WELLINGTON is an upright man.
With this conviction it would be idle in us to attempt
" To gild refined gold, or paint the lily,"
by any expression of our admiration of the Duke in
his military capacity. The columns of The Sun will
bear ample testimony of our sentiments on this score.
We war not with any man's character, but with his

political prejudices or -errors ; and if at any time our
observations should be calculated to give private pain,
or be misconstrued into intentional offence—
where rone was meant—we hold it infinitely more
honourable, to mai .:e a frank, and instant
retraction, of our own f ree will, of the offensive matter,
than to wait for remonstrance from wounded sensibility.
It is entirely in this spirit that we hasten to make the
present avowal of our regret—not more in justice to
our own feelings, f han in reparation to those of the
Noble Duke.

A certain Person, tge, we are told, and a neat figure
of speech it is, cv mt do no wrong ; because " a
wrong from such a source proceeding" falls ever on the
shoulders of his adi isers. It is clear that the late
Ministers were not the advising party to their own
dismissal—a dismiss al which, for open disgrace and
unqualified degradation, is unsurpassed in the ;Royal
records of any time or country. There are those
who believe that the discharge of the Whigs
from office was :right, but never was a Right
more wrongly done —by somebody. Who is this
somebody, what r. fanner of man or woman it
shall appear to be, th at counselled the Royal kick, is a
matter that as yet lie eh in the parturient womb of time.
The alleged misdemet nor of the late CHANCELLOR
was intrigue and ignoble mountebankism : now, if
juggling and intrigue, :not alleged, but in all the fresh-
ness of reality, and of a die deeper by many a good
fathom, be not brought to light ere many weeks pass,
we shall be sorely disappointed.

How strange it would be, if a certain high Personage
about this time were beginning to question the fiction
that "the KING can do no lvrong I"

Mr. SPANKIE has supplied his constituents with a
dish of skimmed milk, in the form of an address to
the electors of the Borough of Finsbury. The Ser-
geant is a funny fellow. Often have we been amused
with his waggery—often have we laughed at his
jokes. Within the peaceful precincts of the Court
of Common Pleas, we believe no man, with
a black patch on his crown, is a safer guide.
But in politics the case is far otherwise. In
that troubled ocean he is not only unqualified to direct
others, but he seems to have no compass by which to
steer his own course.

The Address is as tiresome a piece of special plead-
ing as we ever recollect to have seen or heard,
and the drift of it is to confound Reform with
Revolution. What cause it is calculated and intended
to serve, may be easily conjectured from the circum-
stance that in the John Bull of yesterday, it is lauded
to the skies, and recommended for circulation in a
cheap form—as an antidote, doubtless, to the speech
of the Earl of DURHAM, of which, we bear, 40,000
copies have already been disposed of. The learned
Sergeant is lost in astonishment at the apparently con-
tradictory phenomena which present themselves to his
view, as he surveys the present state of the political
world. He cannot comprehend how it is that those
who so loudly expressed their dissatisfaction with the
late ministers, should think of blaming the KING for
dismissing them. Now we think there are some
things in heaven and earth" more extraordinary than
this, were it only the spectacle of a man attempting to
play the part of a Whig and a Tory at the same time !
But this mystery, so incomprehensible to the learned
Sergeant, admits of a very easy solution. We grant
that it is very annoying to the Tories, and that it has
overset their rather sanguine calculations; but the fact
is that the people cannot (whatever the learned hair-
splitter may do) separate the dismissal of the late, from
the appointment of the present Ministers. They view
these two acts in conjunction, or rather as one act,
and they have drawn from it the only conclusion
which can approve itself to common sense. They are
as fully persuaded as the learned Gentleman can be,
that after such an act, " it were" (to use his own
words) mere sottish simplicity to be deluded with the
pretence of reform ;" and although " the wolf that
cajoles them" does " deign here to soften the harshness
of his tones," yet as they are convinced that he means
" to devour" them, they are determined not to let him
in. In what political party or class the learned Ser-
geant ought to be ranked we cannot tell. In his vain
endeavour to reconcile the contending claims of
Whiggism and Toryism he becomes neither one thing
nor another—neither fish, flesh, nor good red-herring.
He is in fact a nondescript—a political hermaphrodite.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Saturday have
been received. The KING, it is reported, has resolved
upon declining to be present at the opening of the
Chambers, which was to take place this day. The
Ministry had first agreed that there should be a speech
from the Throne, but this plan was relinquished on
mature reflection, as the present is not, properly speak-
ing, the opening of a new Session.

Arrivals from Madrid of the 20th and 22d ult., both
included, have been received, from which we have given
extracts in another part of The Sun. On the 18th
the QUEEN REGENT gave the Royal Assent to the
Bill for raising the new loan of 400,000,000 reals ;
and such is the confidence in the Government that
fourteen proposals have already been received, in which
67 per cent. was offered for the whole sum. The pri-
vate correspondent of a Morning Paper states that some
proposals were as high as 72 per cent. were made,
which, if true, is astonishing indeed, after the de-
clarations so very recently made by Ministers with
respect to the Cortes and other loans.
The Bayonne Papers of the 25th of November
state that an engagement took place between the
QUEEN'S troops and the Carlists on the 20th, in
which the former were defeated with considerable loss.
This report has been since partially contradicted, so
that nothing certain is yet known. In the telegraphic ,
despatch published in the Moniteur, no notice is taken
of the affair, although it relates to the success of the
Royal arms in a recent conflict with a large body of
the insurgents, under the command of a rebel Chief
named MANCH°, who was taken, and shot dead on
the spot, and his party routed.

The KING and QUEEN arrived at St. James's Pa-
lace at two o'Clock to-day, from Brighton.

EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION of FOXES.

From the Sporting Magazine for December. M. A. Pitt-

man, Warwick-square, London.)
Whilst history tells us that the celebrated founders of the
Roman empire, Romulus and Remus, were fostered by a fero-
cious anima—whether fabulous or not is immaterial—l have
to record a fact of a very opposite nature, an animal suckled
by a human being I—a fact, I repeat, most singular, and till
now unheard-of, but which I can not only verify from my own
knowledge, but it is attested by several Noblemen and Gentle-
men sportsmen of East Kent, a country, which in the olden
time was celebrated—her men for courage, activity, and vigi-
lance : her women for beauty, heroism, and agility.*

A report was brought to Old Will that some malicious vul-
pecide had shot a vixen : he could hardly credit the rumour ;
but, determined to ascertain if the information was correct, he
started for the spot, accompanied by one Richard Bridges, an
