The French Papers, received this day, con-
tain nothing of any political importance. We
have, however, selected a few paragraphs, which
will be found subjoined :

ZANTE, DEC. 14.

The last letters from Trieste inform us, that Livadia is
become the new theatre of war, after having enjoyed for some
time the happiness of tranquillity. According to the new plan
of the campaign, the Turkish troops which remained in Thee-
saly, and were for some time past concentrated at Zei-
tonui, have marched towards Salona, in order to effect a junc-
ture with the Albanian troops stationed there.
General Gouraliastened to Attica, in Livadia, where he was
joined by the District Militia, he marched into the mountains
where he surprised the Turks advanced: guard who were pro.
eeeding with full confidence and not expecting an attack.' This
advanced guard was coMPleatly destroYecl. (Jourra threw
himself immediately on the main body, and put them to
flight. The Turkish column, which was advancing from
Padradhik, hearing- of this battle, and expecting they
should be attacked in the evening, retreated to the place
they had left, under the cannon of which they thought them.
selves in safety. After having terminated this glorious ex,
Gourra 'at the head of his Bomeliotes and Livadians
"Paired to Saloon, leaving a small corps of observation In
the north of Livadia, to watch the Turks in Thessaly.

Ibrahim Pacha has summoned Missolonghi to surrender, on
Pain, in case of refusal, that the garrison and inhabitants should
be delivered over to Military execution.

LITCEENE, DEC. 15.
I IThe Federal Director of Lucerne, to the Marquis de Moustier,
in reply to that addressed to him by the Marquis, has written

s letter on occasion of his recal from the poet of Ambagaador
to the Swiss C mfederatione

PAIII3, JAS. r.

His Royal Highness the Pfnee of Orange set off un the is
January from the Hague, to go to St. Petersburgh, to compli
went his Brother-in-law upon his accession to the throne.

The Austrian Observer, under date of the 15th December,
has the following article :
" We ought to attribute the irreparable loss we have just
sustained to the journey into the Crimea, where the Emperor
Alexander seduced by the beauty of the weather, made excur
alone from 6 to 8 o'clock, without taking any precautions againa
the coolness of the evening., particularly on the occasion
of his visit to the scite of the Temple of Iphigenia, in
Taurica. The Monarch returned to Taganrog in a state of fever.
but would not take any care of himself, until the attacks be.
came more and more violent. At last, on the Ist of December,
at 50 minutes past 10 o'clock, Alexander expired.
" The new Representation from the Diet at Presburg has
arrived at Vienna. It is said t 3 be very :no lerate in its ex-
pressions, and very respectful in its tone, but nevertheless re-
verts to certain points which his Majesty did not think proper
to concede.

`• It is said that the Greek Committee at Paris have had an
interview with Lord Cochrane.
" Monsieur Cantor has been declared a defaulter on the
French Stock Exchange for 800,000 francs."

We have received Frankfort Papers to the 31st
December, but they contain nothing of import-
ance. The following are extracts :

EI.IIEIIYELD, DEC. 23.

M. Becher, Sub-Director of the Rhenish West India Com-
pany, has been commissioned by M. Gorostiza, Mexican Con-
sul General at Brussels, to make out certificates of origin for
the Prussian merchandize intended fbr Mexico, in the provinces
of the kingdom of Prussia, from the Weser to the Western
Frontier, and also to do any other business connected with Vie
trade with Mexico that may occur in these same prov:nces. 11 is
Excellency the Minister of the Interior and Commerce has au-
thorised M. Becher to accept this commission.
We have had the pleasure of receiving ace.mnts from M.
Steinchief, of the second division of labourers of the German
American Mining Company, stating that the A rethusa, on board
which they sailed from Antwerp, had happily arrived at Antigua.
The whole Company, having got over the sea sickness, was
well, and in high spirits, and they were to leave Antigua the
3d November for Alvarado ; so that the ship would probably
reach its destination before the end of November, so that they
arrived on the coast of Mexico in the most favourable season of
the year.

We feel the more pleasure at being able to give the public
this agreeable news, because some time ago very melanchol►
reports of the fate of this expedition had been circulated,
which are thus refuted in the most satisfactory manner.

BREMEN, DEC. 23.

The Commissioners assembled here for the revision or the
Act for the navigation of the Weser having terminated their
labours, the final result was signed on the 21st by the Pleni-
potentiaries from all the States concerned, who have since left
this city.

SWITZERLAND, DEC. 27.

The interrogatories of the thieves in Zurich are continued
without intermission. Before naming the two members of the
Government, the Commissioners desire to discover, as far as
possible, the truth or falsehood of the statements hitherto made
by the bands.

Extract of a letter, dated Gnanaxuato, Nov.
17, 1825 :—" The arrival of Mr. Alaman, late Minister for
Foreign Affairs, has occasioned some bustle and fe,tivines here,
that
.gentleman being the principal Manager of the United
Mexican Mining Company, and being a native of this town, the
Marquis de Reyes, as owner of one of the principal mines
worked by that Company, defrayed the expences and conducted
the ceremonies of the day. Early on Monday morning the party
set out from hence, and as soon as they were in sight of the
Mine of Reyes, the ringing of bells and firing of rockets began.
The great draught pit, the shaft of Santa Rosa, and other parts
of the-mine, were decorated with festoons of flowers, and strew-
ed with odoriferous herbs ;.immediately the man whose business
it is to perform the blasting in the mine tired a great number of
prepared charges, and as they went off nearly simultaneously,
the explosion was tremendous. The same Mall ascended from
the mine, and having attired himself in aky.blue velvet, with
lagold lace, the full dress of a miner, he join-al the party in a col-
tion provided by the Marchioness. They then descended into
the shaft by a new road lately made, in the middle of which a
monument has been erected with the inscription....‘ In honour of
the United Mexican Alining Company by the Marquis of San

The late panic in the City has very materially
affected the public Sales at GAIL AWAY'S and the
Auction -Mart, there having been only three
estate sales 'at the above places during the last
fortnight. Several sales, announced, have been
postponed to the ensuing week, the auctioneers
finding they could not obtain any real bidders.
At the corresponding period last year, property
to a very large amount was disposed of—say
30,0001., whereas those of this did not amount
to b,OOOl.

In Consols there has not been much business.
This is the first day for private transfers, which,
however, have not been numerous.

Money is quite easy in the market, and from
the bcarcity of Consols, bargains Lave been done
at the same price fortime, and for money.
Money out of doors is still extremely scarce,
and the difficulty is increased by the Bankers now
