FRENCH PAPERS
(From the Messager des Chumbres of Jar,. 11.)

PAhis, JAc. 13.---Ten transports, fitted up for !'
the conveyance of horses, are to sail on the 10th of
this month for the Morea, under convoy of the Egle
corvette, Capt. Harrriaed. The remainder of the
convoy is to sail on the 15th for the same d•-stina-
tion, escorted by the Maria Therese frigate, which
is to take off board a million of francs for the army„
It is now certain that the body found in the Seine
was not that of M. Auger. Tl.e family and the
friends of that academician ill retain the hope that
he is not lost to them. Madam Auger is still in a
deplorable state of health. We ex-raet the follow-
ing from the Aviso de la Meditereanee :
" The Armide friente sailed the 211 December for
Egina. Baron Hugon, Captain of that friga7c, has
been succeeded in the command of the station at
Patras by Capt. Defrenc, of the "Valuate. Capt.
Huston is going to take the command of the station
of Athens ; will touch at Navarin, and then, as
we learn, explore the eastern coa.t. of Greece, from
At'iens to the bottom of the Gulf of Salooica. The
ale and Dido frigates are s. it at Patras, but the
latter will .^on re•urn to Tonlon."
CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 11.—A forced arrniqice
exi-rs between the two tiroli-s. The cold, which is
much more severe than usual, and the immense quan-
tity of snow which blocks up the defiles of the
Balkan, and fills the valleys, render all communica-
tions impossible. The Grand Vizier has his head-
quarters still at \itlos ; but he orders and directs,
in person, frequent excursions which extend as far
as Choumla, to ascertain the situation of the several
divisions of his army.

PAms, DEC. 11.—The Sinking Fund for Spain,
1-inken of as affording a guarantee for the payment
of the new Stock, has no fixed revenue—no sum
specially appropriated to it. We are informed that
not more than 3,000,000 francs capital Stock have
been converted int.) the New Stock ; and they ought
not to have issued more than 150,000 francs, while
we sac from M. Ugarte's letter _of Decembig
that the enormous sum of 6,500,000 francs has
been brought to market, or a nominal capital of
36,000,000 francs. Why is Guebhart's Loan, which
the Spanish Government says is less safe than this
New Stock, at 7.5 f., while the Rentes are at 44f. ?
The great quantity of the !atter has been cited as the
cause of the depreciation. Spain has also been
obliged to contract other debts, and has lately con-
tracted engagements with England and France, to
pay within a short period 30;000,000 francs, as fol-
lows :

Francs.
To the English, on March 8, and Sept. 8 18,000,000
Interest on Guebbard's Loan, July 1 5,228,000

Repayment of the sth rents 1.,509,000

Enin-gementi conclude,' with France 2,000,000

Tot,l i 9,752,000
How will Spain meet these engagements by remit-
tances ? Not a farthing has yet left the Peninsula,
and the revenues of last year were far from sufficient
for its urgent expenses. She will obtain no loan in
London; and the only means by which she can meet
these engagements is to obtain an increased revenue
by a better Administration.
The money which has thus been obtained amounts
to 645,158, 520 f.
Now, supposing this loan had. been made at only
two-thirds or four-fifths of the value of the nominal
stock, it is still 4,000,000 f., taken, in less than eight
years, from the industrious class, without a succour-
mg voice informing those deceived men of the snares
aid for their credulity; and the division of the loan
proves that it has only been contracted among the
inferior classes ; and there has been to the amount
of three per cent. difference between the small and
large coupures, from the impossibility of di;posini; of
the latter.
