-- FRENCH PAPERS.
(Fromm the Messager des Chambres of Saturday.)
1..?", IS, MARCH 6.—The Augsburgh Gazette says,
that the latest letters received from St. Petersburgh,
at Cracow, confirm that the levy of recruits ordered
by the Imperial Ukase, dated before Varna, is carry-
ing into execution with the greatest activity, and is
soon to be followed by another of two men per
hundred. Since 1806, there have been levied alto-
gether ten per hundred, which renders the effective
force of the Russian army so considerable, that it is
more numerous than that of France ever was in the
time of its greatest splendour.
In Poland they expect an interview of two power-
ful Monarchs to take place at Cracow in the month
of May, and it is thought that the issue will be ex-
the
advantageous to the country, particularly by
tue conclusion of a new treaty of commerce.
It is also thOught that Poland will send an agent.
to Rome to negociate a concordat.

(tied yesterday at three o'clock in the afternoon, in

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF

was passing along the towing-path; his attention
c, as attracted by perceiving a bonnet lying on the bank.
14pecting that. some unfortunate being had destroyed

'l:wee. In her appearance she was obout 1 8 years of a,ge, and
respectably dressed, and was• quite' inanimiite and cold.
The • lock-keeper at once convected her to the Freemamons'
ittrins, where every attention was paid to her by the
.andlord (Mr.- North) and his family. • A medical gen-

The disfianchisement of the Forty Shilling Free-
holders, and the raising of their Elective Franchise
to Ten Pounds, as proposed by Mr. PEEL the other
night in the House of Commons, will, we appre-
hend, occasion some bitter strife in Ireland.
Nevertheless, the. measure must be 'persevered
in ; it is one eminently calculated to elevate the
character of the Irish yeomanry ; to give a sti:
mulus to their ambition, a spur to their industry;
to inspire them with loftier and jester notions than,
owing to unavoidable circumstances, they at present
possess ; and to raise them in the scale of moral and
thinking beings. That Mr. O'CONNELL, however,
notwithstanding these
.manifest advantages, enters
his strongest protest against such a measure,
is to us a matter of not the slightest surprize :
we should be surprized only were it otherwise,
seeing that he is compromised on the subject; hav-
ing bound himself hand and foot by his often re-
peated declarations at the Association, unreservedly
to the cause of the freeholders. Still he cannot

but see that common sense, even common justice,

is in this instance against him. E 7, fish nation
is prepared to give they -can
reasonably expect, to the supplicating Catholics;
are these last in return to concede nothing ?
Arp they to be the sole gainers by Emanci-
pation ? The Protestant Legislature is surely
entitled to some sort of equivalent, and this equiva-
lent it asks, and will undoubtedly obtain, in the
disfranchisement of the Irish Freeholders.

Indeed, view it in whatever light we may, we feel
strongly impressed with thenecessity of this disfran-
chisement. It will give., we think, a clearer, idea of
the representative interests of Irelandthan any other
that could be devised. Moreover, it will serve to
impart a healthy tone to the national pulse, regulate
its beatings, and enable it to circulate through the
proper arterial channels of the country. But Mr.
O'CoNNELL is adverse to all such Legislative
quackery I Good. But if the ablest State phy,i-
clans of the tinie, if the Parliament of the United
Kingdom, in unison with the voice of the Nation,

pronounce disfranchisement to be, not a quackery,
but a panacea for the cure of Irish political disor-
ders ; it is not for O'CoNNELL—hOwever much we
may admire his sagacity and respect his patriotic
fearlessness, and no one appreciates his deserts more
higLly than ourselves,—it is not for him, we repeat,
even thOugh thus variously and richly gifted, to re-
monstrate against suell'an opinion of the Legislature,
but to obey in silence and be grateful.

The French Papers are still barren of intelligence
worthy of remarl. They merely state that the
levy of recruits, ordered by the Imperial Ukase, is
carrying into execution with the greatest activity.
The Russian army, says the ilagsburgh Gazette, is
now more numerous than that of France, even at
the period of its greatest splendour.

The Allgemeine Zeitung to the 4th, and Yurem-
burgh Correspondent to the 3d inst. have been re-
ceived this morning, and principally relate to unim-
portant statements respectinZ Rome and the College
of Cardinals:—

muuterr, FEB. .f).

The King, having happily passed the Brenner, continued
his journey to Rome without obstacle. To avoid the dan-
gerous passage over the Appinnes, which are covered with
snow between Bologna and Florenee, his Majesty went
along the coast to Ancona; he arrived on the 14th at
Crsena, and on the 15th at Rome. The King intended
to stay only a few days in that capital, and then proceed
to Naples.
Rome is quite dull since the death of the Pope ; all
diversions ate interrupted, all the libraries and museums
closed. Great numbers of fi►reigners have left the capital,
to which they were attracted by the amusements of the
Carnival.. They are gone to Naples or Florence.
According to the letters received from different quarters
the reports respecting the election of a new Pope begin to
acquire consistency. The College of Cardinals is doubt-
less independent of these reports and follows its own judg-
ment, but it has often been remarked that it coincided
with public opinion. According to the notions and wishes
of different parties, sometimes Cardinal Somaglia, some-
times Monsig. Testa Ferrata is spoken of, sometimes other
members of the sacred college. The critical situation of
the Pontifical State, and of the Church itself, with respect
to some Governments, requires a man of tried wisdom,
integrity, and moderation, to be at the head of the com-
bined alftirs of the Church and the State which may be
in conflict. In this view the nama most generally
mentioned is that of the venerable Cardinal Gtegori, a
Genoese by birth, who has had great experience in the most
important affairs. lie has travelled through the greatest
part of Europe, ami is as distinguished by his profound
knowledge of European policy as by Lis virtues and piety.

BERLIN, l'Ell. 21.

Twenty owners of estates in the March of Branden-
burgh, five of whom are of the rank of citizens, and all
the others noblemen, chiefly of the oldest and most distin-
guished families of the March, have offered voluntarily to
give
,up to the State tke exercise of the patrimonial juris-
diction, as it is called, on their estates. In their memo-
rial they assign us a reason, "That this patrimonial juris-
diction (or exercise of the judicial power by private per-
sons) is an antiquated institution, incompatible with the pre-
sent times, aid with- the troderit legislation." In a sub.
