FRENCH PAPERS.

(From Le Reforniateur of Wednesday.)
The Prince of Salerno, uncle of the King of Naples and
brother to the Queen of the French, is expected, every minute,
to arrive at Paris. Some persons wish to ascribe a political
object to this journey. The Prince of Salerno was in Paris
in 1829 with the late King and Queen of Naples ; he is a fat
man, with an apoplectic aspect, short and red-haired : a phy-
siognomy, it will be admitted, not of a very Neapolitan cast.
During his last journey he led a jovial life, and even some of
his habits were very disagreeable to his relatives of the Palais-
Royal. For this reason we are but little disposed to believe
that the wisdom of the Prince of Salerno—who besides is no
longer a very young man—has been put in requisition for a
diplomatic mission, in which, at one and the same time, the
matters in question are a double family marriage, and an in-
tervention on the part of the Court of the Two Sicilies in the
affairs of the Peninsula. However, all is credible in diplomacy.
The Augsburyh Gazette of the 15th inst. has the following
from Belgrade of the 2d Accounts from Constantinople
of the 19th ult. state that an extensively ramified conspiracy
has been discovered. Several domiciliary searches had been
made, and a considerable quantity of combustible matter had
been taken possion of. It appears that the conspirators had in
contemplation to set fire to the whole city, and purposed, du-
ring the confusion resulting from that event, to assassinate the
heads of the Government. A great number of suspected per-
sons have been arrested. We have also news from Alexandria
of the 3d ult., via Constantinople, which confirm the ac-
counts of the almost entire disappearance of the plague.
One or two deaths only took place daily. It is still, however,
possible for it to revive on the breaking up of winter. Letters from
Bitoglia state that Taffil Bussi does not meditate any further
extension of his rebellious enterprise, but seems desirous of
limiting his efforts to obtaining a certain degree of independ-
ence from the Porte as to the part of Albania now in his pos-
session. He has entered upon negotiations to this effect with
the Pasha of Janina, and requires the guarantee of certain
rights and liberties, such as internal independence, and the
free administration of justice without the interference of the
Porte, exception from the new recruiting system, and unli-
mited amnesty for the past. On these concessions being
made, he promises immediately to lay down his arms, and to
pay a yearly tribute instead of taxes." The same journal has
the following from Vienna of the 10th inst. :—" On the Bth
Princess Leontine de Metternich was married to Count Lan-
dor. The Pope's Nuncio performed the marriage ceremony
in his own chapel. Our funds are quoted—Metalliques, 5 per
Cent., 1011 ; Ditto, 4 per Cent., 94+ ; Bank Actions, 1,312."
• The Prussian State Gazette quotes the funds at Berlin on
the 12th inst.,—Four per Cents., cash, 1001, paper, 100 t.
The port of Brake, upon the Weser, has been just declared
a free port by the Government of the Grand Duchy of
Oldenburg.
Captain Riollay, of the Marne, just arrived at Havre from
Fayal, one of the Azores, states that the inhabitants, on re-
ceiving the news of the death of Don Pedro, universally agreed
to wear mourning for a twelvemonth, in honour of the memory
of the man who had delivered theM from the Nero of Portugal,
as they call Don Miguel. He adds, that the English have
conveyed a number of the inhabitants of the Azores to Trinity
