FRENCH PAPERS.

A correspondent of the Lboutitsitioneelgives an account of a con-
test between the Duke of Wellington and a great personage in high
favour with. hit Majesty King George the Fourth (the Duke of
(himberland, we suppose,) in which the King interfered. His
Majesty is made to speak quite oracularly on this occasion—" If
I make use of my preroptiverl may displease the nation ; let Par-
liament pronounce, and then I shall see what is to be dune." If
ttiiq satisfy the party to whom It was addtessed, it is all well.
According to the Cbarrirr Francais, couriers have brought to the
French Government and the Russian Embassy dispatches respect-
tog the propositions made by the Ministers of England and France
in favour of Prince Leopold. The answers of the Russian Go-
vernment are described as evasive. Russia does not conceive that
the establishment of a Monarchy is at present what is most ur-
gently wanted for the tranquillizing Greece. Our Parisian con-
temporaries are never at a loss for a story. If the Sovereigns of
'Kamp* differ, It is not very likely that they should underrate the
mportance of Monarchy, in making the people supremely happy

PARIS, Jaw. 12.—(Noow).

Two plans had been discussed to subdue Algiers; the one was
to land 25,000 men, with the necessary osakvieli the other, to per-11
made the Viceroy of Egypt to place at our disposal a body of
troops sufficient to besiege Algiers. In this case we should furnish
the necessary magerid, but we should avoid risking the health of
our soldiers in a climate to which they ate not accustomed. It Is
said that the last plan has been preferred, and that It was the sole
object of the mission of kl. Hodder to Alexandria. That officer
h just landed at Toulon. After having received the instructions
of the Government, be will return to Gen. Guilleminot, at Con-
.tantinople, going by way of Alexandria, where he wilt have ano-
ther conference with the Viceroy.

An express from Paris this morning, bears the
ai:'.iously expected tidings, that N. M. de ROTHYCHILD
has been declared the Contractor for the French Loan of
eighty millions, francs. The price at which the Loan has
been taken is not, we believe, exactly known ; but re-
port states it at 1051 for the new French Four per Cents.
At three o'clock it was stated on 'Change that the rate

F.vidences of the dissolving Ministry—less and less to
I.le mistaken in their character—are thickening fast upon

us, even through the columns of the Noble Du K E.B known
satellites and retainers. An evening contemporary yes-
terday, whose insincerity to the principles on which he
once pretended to pride himself, and whose devotion to
the Duke of WELLINOTON has long superseded all
nobler actuations, prepares us very strongly for an imme-
diate break up of the Military Directory. Mr. Vest r
1.1 INGERALN.-..he says—is to be succeeded at the Board
of Trade by Mr. HEKRI Es, if his health should compel
hint eventually to resign. The fact is, that Mr. FlTZ-
r.r.a L D is going out, for causes much more compulsory
than the one here assigned : the successor of Mr. HER-
IttES at the Mint is not even speculatively alluded to—
probably, it will be Mr. TIERNEY. A rather elaborate
eulogium upon the " plain good sense" and commercial
knowledge of Mr. HERRIES, follows this announcement
of his probable change of office : after which, the Globe
thus remarkably continues :
" Mr. HsaRIES does not stand well, with a large
party in the country, and even with many of the friends
of the present Ministry, on account of the events which
preceded and occasioned the breaking up of Lord CODE-
iqcft's Administration. Those occurrences, we confess,
we ds trot yet understand, notwithstanding all the expla-
nations given of them ; but this we think is very plain—
that the Ministers of that Cabinet did not understand oue

'"...°A .04; +N

another—that their jealousies and fears made them fre-
quently entertain unjust suspicions of one another."
When it is considered that—a very few sentences above
this last paragraph—Mr. HERRIES is announced by
our contemporary, as the new President of the Board
of Trade ; an office, not inferior in importance to
any in the KIN o's Cabinet : when, moreover, it is
considered that in the paragraph just quoted, Mr.
HanitlES is thrown overboard without mercy, re-
serve, or qualification, as the Jonas of that very Ca-
binet—any person, capable of putting this and that
together, may form to himself some notion of the storm
on which the Ministry is tossing. Here is the Globe,
who has been protesting with all his might—and still
protests—that the Noble DUKE'S administration is firm
and stable, acknowledging in the same breath that one of

the principal pillars of that administration is rotten in
public opinion; nay, more--is rotten in his, the Globe's!

This, this is the unkindest eut of all.

Mr. HERIUES—says the Ministerial writer—does not
stand well with a large party in the country, and even
with many of the friends of the present Ministry : and
yet,Mr.H Eau tEs—it appears—is the best selection which
the Noble DUKE could make to fill one of its most im-
portant posts! The reason alleged by the Globe for
Mr. HEILKIES'i unpopularity is--if possible. T—even an
aggravation of malice : for he states it to be, " on account
of the events which preceded and occasioned the break-
ing-up of Lord GODYRICII'II Administration." In spite
of all the explanations given, our Contemporary states,
that he does not yet understand those occurrences : mean-
ing thereby, that the moral taint which they have left
upon certain characters has not—in his eyes—•ever been
wiped away. Neither has it in our's; but this opening
up, by the Globe, of those old wounds in the reputation
of his quondam patrons does not augur any expectation
on his part, that the star of patronage will continue to
rise and set in the same quarter of the political sky, as
latterly it has been wont to do. The same paper, while
it contradicts—but only upon its own unsupported
assertion -the alleged misunderstanding between his
MAJESTY and the Prime Minister, admits that the
ICING has expressed himself with great indignation
on that subject, which is stated to have been the
ground of difference between them. These are straws,
but they show the direction of the wind. The Morning
Chronicle of to-day pertinaciously denies all rumours of
any approaching changes in the Government. He waits
—we apprehend—for the corroboration of the Gazette.

CITY, Twatvx o'CLocx.

Up to the present hour the mountain has not brought forth its
labour—The French Papers and rims of Tuesday having been
received, but, to the great surprise of our City speculators and
jobbers, the above has not brought the account who has been the
Contractor of the French Loan ; bat it is suspected that private
advice has been received this morning with the result, and which
is kept a profound secret as yet. Report says that &dog and his
party have got it ; but this cannot be relied on. The grand secret,
to doubt, will come out In a few hours.

Consols. which left off yesterday at 95j sellers, opened at 954
buyers ; since which they have taken a start, owing to a good deal
of money Stock being purchased by some of the leading Brokers,
and Consols may be quoted at present at 953 I for the Account,
and for omit time 95i, 96.

Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro of the 15th No-
vember. We do not hear any political Dews by the above con-
veyance ; but the Stock there has got up two and a ball per cent.
and the Exchange has fallen a half per cent. This is a demonstra-
tion that no Loan has been contracted for.

In the Foreign Market Brazil Bonds have improved, owing to
the above information from Rio.

We have no arrivals this morning : the French Mail is yet due.
HALF-PAST ONE.
The Consol Market remains steady at 9g for the Account.
and 951 96 for next time.
This day is the settling in the Foreign Market. We have not
yet beard of any failures, although it Is a heavy settling account in
Brazil Stocks.
The French Mail has arrived.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA'S physician, who had been
sent to Parma to attend on the Archduchess MARIA
Loy isA, has returned to Vienna.
Mademoiselle J EN N Y VERPHRE, who acted last season
with so much success in the French Plays at the English
Opera-house, is now performing at the Gymmnase, in
Paris.

THE PRICE or A SOUL.—There is at Madrid an
establishment called the Monte-de-Pieded (Mount of
Piety), the business of which is the purchase of souls
from Purgatory. According to the last official Report
of its proceedings, from the Ist of November, 1826,
to the Ist November, 1827, 356,900 francs were laid
ont for the deliverance of 11,402 souls. The number
of Muses said to obtain their deliverance and their par-
don was 548,921, which is at the rate of 42 francs 90
centimes for the redemption of each soul-42 f. 90 c. is
thus neither more nor less the exact market price of a
soul in purgatory.--Figaro.
The two Privy Counsellors of M. DE POLIGNAC, who
blow hot and cold for him, are now the Author of the
laws of Love and the Baron DUDDY. This is enough,
M. nz POLIGNAC!—Figaro.
The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has decided a question
of great interest to dramatic authors. It has issued an
ordinance, by which the rights of authors must be con-
sidered by the Directors of Theatres an inviolable depot,
and to be received, notwithstanding any seizure or oppo-
sition on the part of the creditors of Theatres.

A young lady of Bourg (Ain,) rich and handsome,
has been condemned by the Court of Assize to the pu-
nishment for parricide. The crime was committed seven
years ago, and during the time since she was received
into the best society in the city, and bore, a part, with
rare enjoyment, in the most brilliant assemblies, and all
the fetes.

Don MIGUEL does not know to what hero he should
apply to take the Island of Terceira, and repair the dis-
aster of his squadron. We are assured, that be has offered
a considerable sum to Lord COCHRANE, to enter into his
service. Lord COCHRANE will answer him no doubt
—Your servant.—Figaro.
The whole conversation at the Government Oases to-
day is the rumoured resignation of Mr. PEEL and Mr.
Go uts u KW , both of which are said to have been accepted.
Mr. HUSKISSON arrived in London at a very late hour
last night, and has, we understand, been particularly en-
gaged all the morning. It is now
Board
asserted
that Mr. HERMES succeeds to the Board of Trade, va-
cant by the resignation of Mr. VAULT FITZOIIIIALD.....
