FRENCH PAPERS.

JAN. 12.—A dispatch from Bayonne arrived at Paris to-day
announces that M. Man't, Commander of the Hirondelle, sta-
tioned off Bilboa, was assassinated on the Ist of January, at
nine in the evening, on his retuan from the Carnival, to go on
board his vessel. His dead body was found on the road by an
English officer. It is thought that the crime was committed
by five Carlists. An inquiry was immediately set on foot.
llfoniteur.
We have no very positive details of the victory announced
by General Caratala. A convoy which left Elisondo on the
6th, returned to that place in the evening, on being informed
that a party of Carlists was lying in wait for it at Balatte.
To understand how the Constitutionalists were at Elisondo
with a convoy, we must remember that Colonel Ocana, going
on the 2d to Urdach to receive the four millions of reals, the
oxen, horses, &c. sent from Bayonne, finding his rear attacked
by Sagastibelza, stopped at Elisondo ; he probably stopped
there again on his return, and acted prudently in going back,
for we read in the Sentinelle de Pyrenees :—" All the force of
Navarre is united in the environs of Balatte ; it consists of ten
Navarrese battalions, a battalion of guides, and two battalions
of Castile."
The Memorial des Pyrenees rightly foresaw that this rich
convoy would tempt the Carlist General-in-Chief, but it must
li be mistaken in supposing the battle spoken of by General
' Caratala was fought for the possession of it ; that battle
was fought on the 22(1; the money, &c., did not leave the
French territory till the 4th.
Don Ignacio Lurraga, who made the famous sermon in the
church of Elisondo on the appearance of Don Carlos, has
been arrested in a convent of nuns. Probably the Car-
lists have already shot him.
The Duke of Orleans yesterday visited Marshal Gerard,
whose indisposition we have mentioned.—Messager, Jan. 12.

THE PREMIER.—Sir Robert and Lady Peel are
expected to return to their residence in Privy Gardens to-
morrow from Drayton Manor, they having intended to extend
their stay at Tamworth to a week when they left town. Sir
Robert reached Tamworth in time on Friday night to be pre-
sent at the annual ball at the Town Hall, at which all the rank
and fashion of the neighbourhood were present. Mr. Yates
Peel and Lady Jane are also gone to Tamworth. Sir Robert,
it is understood, will continue for the present to use the offi-
cial residence of the Premier in Downing-street as an office

only.
It is said that the letter of M. de Talleyrand, in-
serted yesterday in the Moniteur, was published against the
desire of Louis Philippe. This may appear strange enough,
but still it is said to be the case. It is even added that in an
interview which M. de Talleyrand had with Louis Philippe, or
rather an energetic nature, the former observed, " The ques-
tion is not whether my letter is to be printed, but whether it
is to be printed by your printer or mine !"—Quotidienne.
The letter of Prince Talleyrand has become the
general topic of conversation. This letter, however, does not
form the whole of the correspondence on the subject of the
resignation of the valuable diplomatist. There are said to
have been about forty letters from the King, the Queen, and
Madame Adelaide, which will not be the least curious docu-
ments found hereafter amongst the papers of the ex-Bishop of
Autun.—Rfforniateur.

SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION...--.The
annual meeting of the members of this Literary Society was
held at the Institution, Bridge House-place, Newington, for
the purpose of electing a President for the year ensuing. This
Society was established in 1832, and under the active exer-
tions of the founder, J. P. Thomas, Esq., the President, it
has gradually increased its members, the number of which now
amounts to four hundred and eighty, having also a library of
about three thousand volumes, a museum, and extensive pre-
mises, in which lectures are weekly delivered. An attempt
has been, however, made to eject Mr. Thomas, a few of the
members proposing Mr. E. L. Bulwer, M.P., for President.
The election took place the evening before last, and created
considerable interest. The result was that Mr. J. P. Thomas
was re-elected President by a very large majority.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—At the Marlbo-
rough-street Police office Tuesday, Jcseph Holland, a middle-
aged man, formerly clerk and manager to Mr. Smith, the
proprietor of the Pantechnicon Carriage Repository, Belgrave-
square, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with em-
bezzling the sums of 63/. and 50/., the monies of his
master. Evidence having been heard as to the facts, the pri-
soner, by consent of the prosecutor, was admitted to bail.
LOCUSTS.—The United States Gazette says :
" A friend brought to us on Yesterday a branch from an apple-
tree, which he took from the orchard of Mr W. Stokes, at
Germantown, where the locusts early last summer swarmed in
great abundance. The branch is completely perforated from
one end to the other, on both sides, where the locusts deposited
their eggs—and we learn that the young trees throughout the
orchard were nearly all killed by the process. About sa weeks
since the eggs hatched, and the young, in the form of a small
worm, fell to the ground. We believe few persons are aware
of the amount of injury which these locusts are clpable of
doing, and which they have done since last spring."
