The French Papers are chiefly filled by the
proceedings in the " Will" case, which naturally
excite very great interest in Paris, but it will be
sometime yet before the decision is come to.

In the Chamber of Deputies, the Budget
and the Civil List occupy attention. The
report on the Budget has been brought forward,
and the amount demanded, exclusive of the
extraordinary Budget of 141,728,0001., is for the
ordinary expenditure of the year, 955,980,012 f.;
total 1,097,708,0121. ; in English money,
nearly 44,000,0001. The reductions proposed
by the Committee, in the salaries of the Ambas-
sadors, among whom that in London is lessened
from 12,0001. to 10,0001. per annum, and in
several other departments of the Government,
will produce a saving of about 400,0001. On
the subject of the Civil List there were two opi-
nions in the Committee—onc for granting
12,500,000 f. (500,0000 ; another 14,000,000 f.
(nearly 560,0001.) The Ministerial Papers ar-
gue the utility of granting the latter sum, which
is, however, opposed violently. LOUIS PHILIP
is said to have declared his willingness to accept
the sum.which may be given, but at the same
time to limit the expenses of his Court within
the grant.

With respect to foreign relations the French
seem to be as much puzzled as ourselves. The
question of Belgium, so fraught with delay and
perplexities, appears yet destined to embroil
Europe in war whenever it shall answer the pur-
poses of Russia to speak out. When that pe-
riod arrives, it will be seen that Holland has
not been refractory in vain. But we have
no fear for the result, so long as France and
England maintain a good understanding—and
that we are happy to say is at present on the
best footing. It is only the harmony subsisting
between France and England that keeps Russia
in check,—for the march of liberal opinions is
now more dreaded by the Autocrat of the
north, than the re-assertion of Polish inde-
pendence.

We understand that Earl GREY has gone
down to Brighton to have an audience of his
MAJESTY. We hope this audience has re-
ference to a new creation of Peers, which the
country so ardently desires to see, if only as a
pledge that its public interests are superintended
by a Government which possesses within itself
the materials of durability. That the Minis-
ters are efficient, that they are, to a man, sin-
cere, zealous, of incorruptible integrity, and re-
solved at all hazards to carry the Reform
Bill through Parliament, we have not, we never
had,Swe never could have, the slightest doubt ;

' but then it should be borne in mind, that other
qualities, besides those of zeal and integrity, are
necessary to those who undertake to conduct the
affairs of Great Britain at a stormy period like
the present. Promptitude, unity of sentiment,
and above all, a stern, unswerving energy of
purpose, these are the qualities that must mainly
contribute to ensure victory. Honesty without
energy, and zeal without promptitude, are like
faith without works, or theory compared with
practice. They will carry a man a certain
length, but not conduct him triumphantly,
or at the fitting season, to his journey's
end. Speed and decision are what Go•
vernment must now rely on if they ex-
pect to carry their Reform Bill. As for " con-
ciliation" they have tried it long enough, God
knows ! And what a pretty business they have
made of it. I So completely has it failed, that
the country has positively become heart-sick of
the word. We repeat, therefore, that new Peers
must he manufactured. The Lords may wince
and wine, and say a thousand fine things touch-
ing the degradation of their Order, but there is
no help for them ; they must succumb. The
prejudices of a few bigotted aristocrats are
not to be put into comparison with the inte-
rests of a whole kingdom, whose trade is declin-
ing, whose productive energies are failing, hour
by hour, day by day, week by week, month by
month, because no efficient security is offered to
the outlay of capital; because the continuance of
public tranquillity is, to say the least of it, pro.
blematical, and more especially because the
nature of things is reversed, and those are
weak who should be strong, those strong who
should be weak. But it is idle to enlarge
further on this ungracious topic. Ministers,
we have every reason to believe, are re-
solved to create the requisite number of Peers,
and are now only making the question—
one of time. We say then boldly,—and in
so saying we have the voice of the whole country
with us,—there is no time like the present.
Strike while the iron is hot. While you deli-
berate, the golden opportunity flies by. As for
the Ultras, you may go on parleying and par-
leying, conceding and conceding, till even par-
ley and concession lose their force, and you
are left precisely in the same position where you
stood, when you commenced such injurious
policy.

We understand that the Scotch banking-
house of JOHN MABERLY and Co. has sus•
pended its payments, but that the linen works,
in which the head of the house is engaged, will
go on as usual, it being in no way affected by
the suspension of the banking concern; an'l
with regard to the final settlement of the latter,
it is more a matter of time with the creditors than
of loss.

The following are extracts from German Papers
received this morning:—

CONbTANTINOrLE, Nov. 25.—The news of the sub-
mission of I%lu,tapha Pacha has at length been received,
seeing that farther resistance was vain, and being con-
vinced of the generous intentions of the Sultan if he
submitted voluntarily, he sent the keys of the citadel of
Scutari to the Grand Vizier on the 10th of November,
and having received from the latter the assurance of his
pardon, embarked on board a 'Turkish man-of war for
Constantinople before he received the news from the
capital that the Sultan had really pardoned him and as-
signed him Constantinople as his place of abode. The
Moniteur Ottoman of the 19th says upon this subject :
" The pardon granted by the Sultan to the Paella of
Scutari has filled the great men of the empire with
the liveliest gratitude. The Sovereign authority which
thus exercises its noblest prerogatives, the right of pardon,
speaks in the hearts of the subjects, and animates them
to generous actions. The great Officers of State, to express
their gratitude to the Sultan for this act of clemency, re-
quested an audience, which was granted them. Accordingly
on the 15th Nov. the Caimacan Pacha, the Seraskier, the
Captain Pacha, the Ministers of the Interior of Finance
and of Foreign Affairs repaired to the Kiosk, in the Ok-
meidan, where the Sultan gave them the desired audience,
in which they expressed to the Sultan their gratitude in
words which are easily found when noble sentiments and
true magnanimity are to be celebrated."
The rebellion of Tamar, Pacha of Van, has been already
completely suppressed by the energy of the Seraskier of
Erzroum, and Emir Pacha, of Minch. Mehmed Selim
Pacha, lately appointed Governor of Damascus, wko is
said to have caused an insurrection by his too great rigour,
is stated in the Illoniteur Ottoman of the 19th inst. to
have been succeeded by Hadschi Ali Pacha, of Konich,
Other accounts say that Selim Paella fell a sacrifice to the
fury of the people. That the Porte is uncertain whether
the appointment of the new Governor will be followed by
the restoration of tranquillity is evident, from the sending
of numerous troops and a quantity of artillery to that
country, which may have another important object.
Among the refractory vassals of the Porte, is Abdallah,
Pacha of Syria, whom the Porte has not hitherto been
able to think of chastising. The armaments of the Vice-
roy of Egypt, of whose fidelity Sultan Mahmoud has some
doubts, are a subject of serious uneasiness to the Porte,
and are the cause of great military preparations by sea as
well as by land. The expedition of the Viceroy is in
fact involved in much obscurity, which it must be left to
time to dispel.

VIENNA, DEC. 20.—T0-day there have been two new
cases of cholera in the suburbs, and two recoveries; the
number remaining is therefore still 31. _
Poulin FRONTIER'S, DEC. 17. —The death of the
Princess of Lowicz has caused the more regret among
us, because it is affirmed that her health, which had long
been precarious, was much improved. In the kingdom
of Poland arrests are more frequent, persons who
are objects of suspicion to the present Government,
being usually taken away from their families by night.
Thus the President Rembowski, Radowsinski, and others
have been seen to Russia. It is now known that Peter
W)zocki died in prison on the 28th of November, which
anticipated his intended execution. The Polish Generals
ordered to Moscow, including Krukowiecki, who was sub-
sequently confined to that capital, ate said to have been
sent farther into the interior of the empire, because they
did not give a satisfactory answer to the questions pro-
posed to them. Fisrt—Why, contrary to the convention
of Warsaw, they went with the Polish Government to
Modlin, instead of going to Ploak ; and, second, whether
it was known to them that the breaking out of the revo-
lution in Warsaw had been formed by the French Govern-
ment, and in what manner ?

The confiscations of property continue. A mother
lately complaining that the estates which were registered
as the property of the children, were confiscated because
the father was accused of having taken part in the revolu-
lution, was answered there was no ground of complaint,
as it was proper the children should suffer for the faults of
their parents.

The Duke of WELLINGTON,
we regret to
say, has been seriously ill ; but we trust he is getting better,
though it is feared but slowly. The Noble Duke was born
with a vigorous constitution, and though subject oca•
sionally to attacks of severe cold, has thrown them off with
little delay or effort. Such, however, has not been the case
on this last occasion. Having been affected by a tendency
to inflammation of the chest on his return from Widmer,
be suffered some loss of blood, and feeling relieved, with
his usual confidence in his own strength, he started imme-
diately for Northamptonshire; but being exposed to the
night air, his malady returned. His Grace, in conse-
quence, came up again to town, where, from the necessity
of repeated and copious bleedings, be has been much re-
duced in strength ; and though not so weak or low as he
has been, it is understood that he will not be able for a con-
siderable time to make any great exertion of mind or body--
least of all to encounter the unwholesome air and oppres-
sive business of Parliament.... Times.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

From Brussels they write that _ the Dutch General

Dibbets, Commandant of Maestricht, has forbidden all
communication with Belgium, as well as with the right
bank of the river Meuse; and has caused to be seized all
carts going to Ruremonde and Venlon, placing in the
country gens d'armes disguised, who stop all persons within
half a league of the town. The King of Belgium was
going to Antwerp, but his journey was counter-ordered.
Two persons attached to the Minister of War at Brussels
have disappeared, and are gone to the Hague.
Accounts from Belleisle, received at Paris, state the ar-
rival of two steamers in the roads coming from England,
the Sir Edward Banks and the Superb. They brought
the sailors and equipments for three fine frigates, the
Congress, Junan, and Asia, which were also in the roads.
The expedition of Don Pedro is soon going to sail.
Accounts from Constantinople of the 26th of November,
state that vast movements are going on in the above ca-
pital ; from the last accounts from Cairo numerous coun-
cils had been held by the Ministers, the Viceroy of Egypt
has begun to unfold his new projects, to declare himself
independent of the Porte, and his expedition to Syria was
the signal of a rupture. Consequently, great preparations
were making both by sea and land, which, no doubt, will
be directed against the Viceroy of Egypt.
Accounts from Berlin state, that the King of Holland is
secure from every attack, and it is also certain he has re-
ceived positive assurances that no measures will be taken
against him to enforce his acceptance of the twenty-four
articles of the late treaty.
They write from Frankfort-on-the-Maine on the 26th
December :

6' We have received from Amsterdam and Berlin
letters which announce as certain the refusal of the Em-
peror of Russia to ratify the Conference of Landon, rela-
tive to the affairs of Belgium."
THE FUNDS.

With the exception of the French mail, and the
estafette, we have no other arrivals this morning. The
estafette brings accounts that the Austrians are going
again to enter the Roman States. This, if true, will no
doubt cause some explanations between France and Aus-
tria. The unsettled state of Italy, and the complicated
affairs of Holland, with the know❑ disposition of the
Emperor of Russia, does not give hopes at present that the
Continental Powers will disarm, and till that takes place
great suspicion must he attached to a general peace in
Europe being accomplished. Nevertheless our funds
keep steady, and maintain their prices. This may be
attributed to the great capitalists, whose interests it is to
uphold the funds, owing to the great stagnation in com-
merce; for in the present distressing state of the times, a
small profit is by far better than a large one, with the
great risk of losing their capital in commercial speculation.
Consols opened at the sane price they left off at yester-
day. 84 for the account, with little doing.
We have a current report of a failure this morning to a
very large extent, a Member of Parliament, contractor,
&c. ; this has caused Consols to recede to 834.
In the Foreign Market little doing at present.
Since writing the above the failure is confirmed, and
causes some agitation in. the city.

HALF-PAST ONE.

BUCHAREST, DEC. s.—Letters from Constantinople of
the 26th November state that, by letters from Syra, the
Greek National Congress was convoked, and the island of
Hydra was not blockaded by the Allied Powers.
We hear that the time given to the King of Holland to
ratify the treaty will be extended ; the general topic of con-
versation during the whole of the morning in the city re-
lated to the very great failure which has taken place; the
person in question has an immense concern in Scotland, a
bank and two linen companies ; he also was a contractor
for loans, one of which was Don Pedro's late loan.

Consols are at present 83i 84 for the account; much
agitation prevails in the city owing to the above failure.

Lord FITZROY SOMERSET held a Levee
this forenoon at one o'clock, at the Horse Guards, which
was well attended.

Mr. DowLING, the superintendant of the L
Divisiou of Police, is now in Bristol, making arrange-
ments for the establishment of police in that city.
TIIE THEATRICAL QUESTION.—.A meet-
ing of the managers and actors of the Minor Theatres, and
also authors and the public, was held this day at the
Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of agreeing to a peti-
tion to Parliament for the repeal of the Acts of Parliament
which prevent the introduction of the Drama on the Minor
Stage. CHARLES STURGEON, Esq. a barrister, took the
chair. The proceedings were going on when our Paper
went to press.

THE BARONESS DE FEUCHERES.----ThiS
lady, whose maiden name, as our readers are already aware,
was SOPHIA DAWES, was born at St. Helen's, Isle of
Wight, where her parents resided. On the visit of the
Allied Sovereigns to Portsmouth in 1814, she held the
humble situation of bar or chambermaid at one of the inns
of that town, where the late Duke of BOURBON chanced to
see and became enamoured of her. In 1817, SOPHIA re-
ceived an invitation to Paris, where she became ac-
quain+ed with an Aide-de-cart:lp of the PRINCE, named FEU-
CIIERES, to whom she was married in the following year.
Her husband at the same time received a Colonel's com-
mission, and she herself the title of the Baroness de Fzu-
CIIERES. Owing, however, to her reported intrigues with
the Duke of BOURDON, she separated from her husband
shortly afterwards. Mr. B. DAWES, farther of this for-
tunate lady, was a painstaking pilot and oyster-dredger,
and was reported to be largely engaged in the free
trade system. He was at one time in posses-
sion of a gallon measure full of guineas, but the
vicissitudes of his mode of life soon reduced him to:poverty,
and until within these four or five years he was an inmate
of the house of industry, from whence he was taken by
his (laughter, the Baroness, and placed in corn fortahle
lodgings at Carisbreok, where he died about eighteen
months ago. The Baroness has lately purchased consi-
derable property at St. Helen's, and has taken most of her
relations to reside with her. One of her brothers, who
Wesr formerly apprenticed to Mr. GERMAIN, bookseller,
of Portsea, is now a Peer of France, with the title of
Baron DAWES.

BURIED ALIVE.—At an early hour on Sun-
day morning, JAMES SMITH, the grave-digger in the pa-
rish burial-ground adjoining Paddington-street, Mary_
lebone, was digging a grave of extra depth, when, having
neglected to shore up the sides in the usual and necessary
manner, a ponderous portion of the upper part of the
excavation he was making suddenly fell in upon him,
completely burying him under its excessive weight, and
nearly crushing him to death. The dreadful situation of
the poor fellow was fortunately discovered time enough
to extricate him alive from his premature interment.
The town of Mountsorrel has been in a great
state of excitement during the last few days, owing to the
mysterious way in which a young woman, named Euzw-
nxTti Woon, has met with her death. It seems that the
deceased had quitted her service with Mr. BAGOALEY,
of Cossington, and gone to reside with a person named
SARAH SMITH, of Mountsorrel, whose husband's brother
she was on the point of marrying. On Sunday week she
was taken unwell, and on Thursday she died. Suspicion
that she had come to her death by unfair means having
been awakened, a Coroner's inquest was held on the body
on Monday, when, it appearing necessary that a post
mortem examination of the stomach should take place, the
inquest was adjourned to Wednesday forenoon. At eleven
o'clock, therefore, the inquest was resumed, when, it ap-
pearing that the deceased had met her death by taking
arsenic, and that SARAH SMITH had purchased some
arsenic two or three days before, and was observed by a
little girl to have it in her band while preparing some
broth for the deceased, &c., the Jury, at twelve o'clock
at night, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against
her, and she was brought to the county gaol to take her
trial for the offence. On Tuesday night she endeavoured
to destroy herself by making incisions in her throat and
