FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JAN. 18.—A commercial letter from New York,
of 24th December, received at Havre by the Rhone, says :
—" Public opinion has totally changed with respect to the
menaces of the President against France. He is now openly
blamed. Nobody wishes for war, or thinks the national
honour affected. It is to be hoped that this change will
have its weight in the Congress."
Letters from Washington, which have been comrnuni-
cated to us, and which are to the 12th of December, repre-
sent as unanimous and decided the good spirit of the Com-
mittee of Foreign Affairs, to which the message of the Pre-
sident has been referred ; that is, all those parts of it which
properly come under the consideration of the committee.
There is but one. opinion among prudent and clear-sighted
men, and the most ardent partizans of the President do
not know how to defend him, except by denying that his
words bear the meaning which everybody else ascribes to
them. He himself now says that he had no hostile inten-
tions in holding the language for which he is reproached ;
which seems rather absurd to those who heard him before
the sittinr, of 9th December.

The Duke de_ Broglie has read his report to the com-
mittee of the project of the 360,000 francs. This report
will be presented on Monday _to the Chamber of Peers. It
proposes to adopt, without any modification, the project
amended by the Chamber of Deputies.
The Count de St. Aulaire arrived from Vienna a few
• days ago ; he had an audience of the King yesterday. On
his way home from Vienna, M. de St. Aulaire stopped two
days at Manheim. It was generally reported in that city
that he was commissioned to ask for the Duke of Orleans
the hand of the Princess Mary, eldest daughter of Princess
Stephanie Beauharnois, daughter of the Empress Jose-
phine, who married the Grand Duke of Baden, predecessor
of the reigning Grand Duke. Princess Mary is 17 years
of age.

Yesterday morning Count Pozzo di Borgo had a very
long conference with M. de Talleyrand.
The Renovateur affirms that the discussions between the
Cabinet of the Palais Royal and that of St. Petersburgh,
respecting the sums due to Poland, are of a very serious
nature.

We do not find anything worth quoting in the scanty
news from Spain, which the Southern journals bring us to-
day.—Messager, Jan. 18.

GERMAN PAPERS.

POLAND.—The Warsaw Journals begin the newyear v
the following official article :

" The insurrection in the year 1820, and the events
which occurred in consequence, plunged the Kingdom of
Poland into the greatest misery. A devastating war laid
waste whole provinces, the useful establishments were
ruined, the faithful subjects, the servants attached to their
legitimate Sovereign, suffered insult, persecution and pillage,
and the most industrious classes of the people, the farmer,
the manufacturer, fell as the innocent victims of evils which
they had neither caused nor favoured. In consideration of
this the actual state of things, as well as of care for the
real interests of the country, which rests on a secure repro-
duction, without which the sources of revenue dry up, the
Government exerted itself, as soon as legal order was re-
stored in the country, to find out means to support those '
who were the most in need of assistance. Animated by
paternal solicitude, his Majesty the Emperor and King was
Pleased to approve of every kind of assistance that could
'possibly be given. The following list gives a clear view of
all the benefits whic'h the country has received during the
last three years.

Besides the above sum, pensions to the amount of a mil-
lion and a half have been granted to the victims of the re-
bellion, and a new fund of five millions has been assigned
for the relief of those whose just claims have not hitherto
been attended to. So many benefits lead the people to
bless their august Sovereign ; and the Government has the
consolation that notwithstanding . the disasters which the
country has suffered, all the taxes are regularly paid, and
that the public revenue not only does not diminish, but in-
creases, from year to year.

VIENNA, JAN. B.—A part of the suite of the new Turkish
Ambasssdor to London, Lavlekien Pasha, has already ar-
rived here. The Ambassador himself is expected in a few
days.

PRINCE Ati,..-USTUS OF PORTUGAL, DUKE OF
LEUMITENBERG. Sir t:. Barnard, Clerk Marshal of the
Household, and the Portuguese-
Minister are expected to re-
turn from escorting his Royal Highnes: to Falmouth by Fri-
day next. The Chevalier d'Almeida Darrell, Charge
d'Affaires at Brussels, went out to Lisbon by Ult.'. Falmouth
packet last week to announce the approaching arrival of the
Prince, and will arrive there some days before the Monarch
steam-packet with his Highness on board. The Count
Mejem, who accompanies the Prince to Lisbon, was his Go-
vernor, and the Baron Billing will probably remain with him
as his private secretary. The King took a most affectionate
leave of the Prince at Brighton, and presented him with two
of the finest horses in the Royal stud, and also with a superb
gold snuff-box. His Highness expressed his thanks to Mr.
Chaplin, of the Clarendon, for the superior accommodat ion
afforded to him and his suite while he remained at the Hotel.
DEATH OF LADY SUSAN LYGON.—We deeply
lament to record the decease of this amiable Lady, which took
place on Thursday, at Port Elliot, in Cornwall. Her Lady-
ship had long been in a declining state of health, but no serious
apprehension of danger was entertained. The first intelli-
gence that Colonel Lygon received of the dangerous state of
his Lady was conveyed in a letter, which was awaiting him on
Friday at the Hop-pole Inn, on his return from the hustings.
So alarming was the intelligence conveyed in the letter that
the Honourable Gentleman instantly quitted the city, in the
hope, which we lament has proved a vain hope, of yet seeing
his amiable Lady alive.— Worcestershire Guardian.
DEATH OF AN INDIAN PRINCESS.—Died on
Sunday night, the favourite squaw of the Michegan Chief
Makoonse, Chief of the Chippawa tribe, who has lately been
exhibiting his skill in the use of the rifle at the Strand and
Victoria Theatres. Consumption was the cause of her death,
at the age of twenty-eight. - She was, for an Indian, a beau-
ful creature, possessed of a fine attractive figure, and a:fine
Grecian face, and was the daughter of a French general
officer, by an Indian princess. The purpose of the Chief,
and his warriors, who accompany him, in coming to England,
was to obtain a sum of money due from the British Govern-
ment, for a tract of land sold by the grandfather of the pre-
sent Chief ; he comes in right of his wife and self, as the land
partly belonged to the tribe of which she was Queen. She
was attended, on Sunday, by Sir Anthony Carlisle, who gave
some hopes of her recovery, but the disease had taken too
firm a root. She is to he temporarily buried (this day) at St.
John's church, in the Waterloo-road, until her remains can
be conveyed to her own country. The Chief Makoonse is in
a state of distraction at his loss, prostrating himself upon the
floor, and knocking his head with the greatest violence against
the boards; and it is with the greatest difficulty that he can be
prevented from laying violent hands upon himself:
DREADFUL ACCIDENTS BY FIVE.—Two LIVES
LOST.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fine-grown
young woman, named Ann Cooper, aged 18, died at the West-
Minster-hospital in consequence of the severe and extensive
injuries she sustained by her clothes accidentally catching fire
on Thursday last. It appears that the deceased was house-
maid in the family of Mr. Gould, of No. 5, Stockbridge-ter-
race, Kensington, and on Thursday afternoon last was in the
act of making some toast before the kitchen fire, when a
blazing coal flew out of the grate into her lap and instantly set
her clothes in flames, and before they could be extinguished
the poor girl was so shockingly burnt that she was removed to
to the hospital, where she lingered in extreme agony until
death terminated her sufferings, the injured parts having mor-
tified. An inquest will be held on the body to-morrow.—Be-
tween six and seven o'clock on 'Sunday evening, a boy between
five and six years of age, the son of a tradesman named Glaun,
living in Peter-street, Westminster, was playing with a piece
of lighted paper during the temporary absence of his parents
from the room, and set fire to his dress ; he was most shock-
ingly burnt, and died soon after being carried to the hospital.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

A good deal of stress has been laid by certain news"
papers upon what they thought proper to represent-.
as a true version of Sir James Graham's speech at
Carlisle, and sundry chuckles and other demonstra,
tions of joy were indulged thereat, because of the sup-
posed proof which it afforded of the design of the
Right Hon. Baronet to oppose Sir R. Peel's Cabinet
through thick and thin, without the least reference to
its measures. The chuckle was uncalled for. A copy
of the speech, which we have reason to believe au-
thentic, appeared in the Carlisle Journal of last Sa,
turday ; and we would recommend it to the perusal of
such of our contemporaries as can derive a generous
pleasure from seeing the rectification of their own
mistakes. In the speech thus reported, which is of
great length, Sir J. Graham takes occasion to de-
scribe the measures on which Lord Grey's Govern-
ment were agreed, as well as that relative to the Irish
Church property whereon they agreed to differ, and on
which Sir James Graham, with Lord Stanley, after-
wards resigned. The Right Hon. Baronet then pro-
ceeds to state his reasons for declining to join Sir Ro-
bert Peel's Administration, and to explain the course
of action which he means to adopt towards the Right.
Hon. Baronet and his colleagues. We should he
glad to learn in what part of the following passages
our candid brethren have found the materials of their
prediction, that the speaker was at all hazards, and
under all circumstances, to oppose the Conservative
Ministry :
" Well, then, it had been asked, bad he any confidence
in Sir Robert Peel's Ministry? The best answer he could
give to that question was his refusal to join it.—(Cheer-
ing.) And he must add this—that in his opinion its com-
position was as bad as it could possibly be, for it was en-
tirely composed of men to whom and to whose principles
he had all his life been opposed.—(lmmense cheering.)
Having said this, it was natural he should be asked, was he
prepared to oppose that Ministry He would answer the
question frankly. Not having unlimited confidence in the
Ministry of Lord Melbourne, and not seeing his way very
clearly after the breaking up of the present Ministry to the*
formation of a better, he should not be inclined at once to
agree to any motion for removing them. Although under
ordinary circumstances, it was right to look to men as well
as to measures, at the present moment it was right, and he
should conceive it to be his duty, to look mainly to princi-
ples.—(Hear,) Those who said the present Government
either would or could not bring forwald good measures,
vastly underrated the value of the Reform Bill. Under
that bill be would say that no Government could carry on
its measures in defiance of public opinion.—(Cheers.)
Whatever changes the sober and discreet part of his fellow
countrymen deemed necessary, and should insist upon, must
be made. For his own part, he thought that the present-.
Government would be compelled to bring forward • good
measures, and such measures should have his support. But
if they did not, if they attempted measures of another de-
scription, then he would oppose the Ministry at all riski
and at all hazards."—(Cheers.)
We find, on the contrary, a full and precise confir-
mation of all that we have ourselves affirmed as to the
necessity under which the new Cabinet would find
itself of bringing forward good measures. As to the
stigma which was affixed upon the Reform Bill by
those who doubted its efficacy in forcing popular mea-
sures upon any Government—as to the propriety of
looking mainly to good measures, and the duty of
supporting such—Sir James Graham also says, that
not having placed much confidence in Lord Mel-
bourne's Ministry, and not seeing his way very clear:v
as to what was to follow the breaking up of the present
one, " he should not be inclined at once to agree to
any motion for its removal. Throughout the whole of
these observations, embracing as well his want of con-
fidence in particular men, as the importance he at-
taches to "measures, whatever quarter they proceed
from, we entirely concur with Sir James .Graham, and
with Lord Stanley, and with every other reasonable
being who is not bound by the trammels of party.--
Times.
The Tories rejoice in the returns which are daily
made to the Commons' House of ParlOament—and let
them rejoice as much as they can during the brief pe-
riod of their existence. It will be short enough. The
returns recorded in this day's paper give an average of
almost two to one in favour of the Reform interest ;
and Ireland has yet to be numbered I To use the
language of the Globe—" The returns from England
are 23, of whom 15 are Reformers, and the remaining
eight Tories. From Scotland we have 18 returns, the
Reformers being in a proportion of five to one—
fifteen to three—and from Ireland the returns are 24,
of which only six, one-fourth, are Tories." One-half
of these Reformers will be classed by the Tory papers
as neutrals—that is, as Members who are for mea-
sures," and who will not oppose the " men" who
propose them ; but they will be arrantly mistaken
in their calculation. Those who are in favour of the
most liberal " measures," are not, in consequence, in
favour of the " men." Indeed the disgust which is
universally felt at the determination of the Tory party
to have and to hold power, not only in defiance of pub-
lic opinion, but in defiance of the principles which
they have always professed, and on which they have
always acted—is too much even for the most Conser-
vative Whig to swallow. Upon the Conservative
Whigs the Tories calculate, as their last resource, in
the hour of danger—but—we tell them in time—they
" reckon without their host." There may be shades
of difference—there may be a division of opinion on
great and important questions—but there is no diffe-
rence—there is no division—there is no debate upon
one point—and that is, " Down with the Tories '—
the enemies of the King—the enemies of the country.
—Morning Advertiser.
The election intelligence which we this day bring
under the notice of our readers, is of the most cheerily;
and triumphant description. In \Vest Kent Sir Wil-
liam Geary heads the poll on the first day, and as his
majority is 652 over Mr. Hodges, and 668 over Mr.
R--it,er, we may already congratulate the electors and
the cannery on the accession of another Conservative
of talent, eluteacter, and spirit to the cause of order
and good goverme:ent. From East Surrey our ac-
counts are highly satisfactory, and promise the final
success of Captain Alsage:. His numbers on yester-
day's poll exhibit a majority of 232 over Briscoe,
and 252 over Beauclerk. If the information of a
correspondent be correct, that the Committee of the
coalescing " Liberals" have already voted, there •
cannot remain a doubt of Conservatism being as tri-
umphant in the eastern division of Surrey as it has
already proved in the western portion of the county_
The result of the election in the northern divi-
sion of Warwickshire is highly satisfactory. The
Radical candidate was in a minority of 677 below
the Conservative, whilst in the contest of 1832 the
majority over the Destructive was only 98. This is
indeed a glorious re-action. We observe, by the
way, that Sir Eardley Wilmot, who heads the
poll, is mentioned in a report of the proceedings
• the columns of our excellent contemporary, the Stars-
dard, as a Conservative Whig. The admirable
speech of that gentleman at the nomination, which
appeared in our impression of Saturday, sufficiently
proves that he would take it as an ill compliment
to be identified with the discomfited and rejected
party. The Hon. Baronet spoke with great truth
and force of his disappointment at finding the
Members of the late House of Commons taken
up with " making idle speeches, and indulging
in recrimination of each otheie" Sir E. Wilmot:
further said " that the time of the House was often
occupied, not with sound reasoning and argument,
but with turgid and bombastic declamation." Allud-
ing to the dissolution of the late Ministry, he observed
that " by their own acts they destroyed themselves,
and if a Coroner's Inquest was to be called upon them,
they would return a verdict of Felo de se.' Sir E.
Wilmot concluded by the admission that his Majeste
could take no other step than that of exercising his
prerogative, by dismissing from his Coancils the ad-
visers who were at war among themselves. How maev
Members returned to serve in Parliament, who have
been claimed by the Destructives as belonging to their
skeleton of a party, partake the sentiments so honestly
and ably expressed by Sir E.Wilmot? We must observe
that the patriotism of the Conservative supporters of
Mr.Dugdale in splitting their votes with the Baronet to
keep out Mr. Gregory was highly praiseworthy. When
it is considered that this triumph has been achieved
in time very hotbed of the Political Unions (the
district including Coventry 'and Birmingham) more
than ordinary importance ought to be attached to it.
