" PALM, Dtcc. 2.—Yesterday before mass the
Ambassadors and izoreigo Ministers paid their re-

. ,
named Guillaumette Vincent, the widow. of Der-
nar Boulesquc, aged 104 ; she preserved to the

good sight.
" One of the wheels of the Duke of Wel-
lington's carriage, on his Grace coming to
Paris, was broken, on the Boulevard Mont-
tnartre. llis Grace, in consequence, pro-
ceeded on foot to his Hotel Rue des Champs
Elysees, accompanied by his first Aid-de-Camp,

Richelieu went to visit the Noble Duke yester-
day, but his Grace was gone out.

" FRANKFORT, Nov. 25.—The Baron d'An-
stett, Russian Minister Plenipotentiary, pro-
ceedetl this morning to Homburg, with compli-
ments of condolence in• the name of the Emperor
to her Royal Highness the Hereditary Princess
of Hesse Homburg, on the death of the Queen of
England, her mother. His Excellency at the same
time delivered to the Prince the insignia of the
order of Saint Andrew. '

" COLOGNE, Nov. 21.—The reports several
times contradicted, have been revived here, re-
specting an alleged negociation for exchange of
territory between Prussia and the Netherlands,
but it is said the latter Power will not consent to
the proposed exchange. Prussia, it is stated, bad
another project in contemplation for obtaining
cessions , from the Elector of Hesse and
the Duke of Nassau, in order the better to
connect the old Prussian Provinces on the
Elbe, with her new acquisitions on the Rhine,
and in SVcsphalia, but it is said England
will not consent to this, because it would interfere
with her commercial route from Hamburgh and
Bremen, through Hanover and Cassel, to
Southern Germany, as the English merchants
would then be subject to a tariff of Prus-
sian Customs Duties. It is only, therefore,
a small district on the road from Hesse Cassel to
Frankfort that will be added to the Prussian do-
minions.

" RASTADT, Nov. 26.—The Emperor of Russia
entered Carlsruhe yesterday evening, amidst the
acclamations of the inhabitants. His Imperial
Majesty is expected here this evening or to-mor-
row morning.

" FRANKFORT,,NOV. 27.—The Empress Dow-
ager of Russia, set out from hence this morning,
with the Grand Dukes."

We heartily subscribe to the beautiful panegyric
of our immortal Bard on MERCY, but Mercy to
Individuals is sometimes injustice and cruelty to a
nation. Such appears to us to be the case
with the present King of FRANCE. He has
suffered too many Revolutionists to remain in
hie Country, and he sanctions the return of
others. He is within the treasonable lines
of circnmvallation, and he is drawing them
still nearer. We have inserted the letter from
our Correspondent at Paris this day, hut we view
the aspect of affairs in France with very different
eyes, and foresee events of alarming import ap-
proaching.

Private letters received this morning from
Havre, dated Ist Dec. state, " We ate appre-
hensive that some unpleasant occurrence will
take place the latter end of the present month.
Business still remains dull, and although money
still continues scarce, confidence increases."

THE FUNDS.--A considerable advance again
took place in the Funds this morning. Consols.
for the Account were done at 801, and a further
rise is considered inevitable from the immense
number of powers for purchasing stock received
from the country. Consols. having shut at SO,
bets to a large amount were decided. At the
commencement of the Account large odds were
laid that they would not close at that price, but
the scarcity of stock, and the caution ob-
served in discounting Foreign Bills, is assigned as
the reason for the advance.

Three houses of great respectability, in the
Manchester line, stopped payment yestcrdily. The
total sum they have failed for is said to be to a
very large amount.

of the forces in Ireland. Other reports mention
