time, it appears by reports from every county, that the Poor
Rates, Pauperism, and various assessments, are pressing in
a ruinous manner on all Industrt._
We have received by extraordinary express the Gazette
de France of yesterday's date, and the other Paris papers
of Thursday.
(From Galitosanrs Messenger )
An aid-de-camp of the Emperor Nicholas arrived at Paris
xesterday, from St. Petersburgb, with dispatches for Count
Pozzo de Borges. The Journal du Commerce says, the
aid-de-camp of the Emperor of Russia, who has arrived at
Paris, was at first reported to have brought the credentials of
the Russian Ambassador. We have since learnt that he
had a conference of above two hours with an eminent Paris
Banker, who has always been disposed to assist absolute
Governments. From hence it would appear that the first
requisite of war is rather scarce in Russia.

It is expected that the new Constitutional King of Bel-
gium will he known at Paris to-morrow. If we are rightly
informed, the votes are divided between a Belgian citizen,
and the second son of the King of Bavaria.

The Augsburgh Gazette contains the following extract
of a letter from Cassel, dated 26th December :
" The draft of our Constitution is at last happily com-
pleted, and it is expected it will be presented to us, as a
New Year's gift. Every preparation is making to have it
printed by that time, by the Electoral Clritnber. Two
copies are now drawing up on parchment, of which one is
to be deposited among the archives of the Elector, and the
other among those of the States. The publication of this
document will be attended with great solemnity. The
Elector will receive the whole body of the States in a so-
lemn audience at his Palace, and the town will be illumi-
nated."

The same Gazette has the following, under date of Naples,
Dec. 16:—
" All the Royal family returned here on the 11th inst.
from Portici. The fetes and rejoicings on account of the
accession to the throne, will not take place till January 11
or 12. The diplomatic body, of which many members were
absent, especially of the ministers of the Great Powers,
have all returned, except the Prussian Envoy, Count
Lottum, who is expected tomorrow. It is reported that the
marriage of our young Sovereign will be postponed for a few
years, from considerations connected with the happiness of
the country. Mount Vesuvius has been tranquil for some
days past, and the slight irruption passed off without causing'
any mischief, although it afforded to strangers an incom-
parable spectacle.

The Nuremberg Correspondent states, that although per-
fect tranquillity prevails in tho Grand Duchy of Posen, yet
many young men are emigrating from that province, with
the avowed intention of assisting their countrymen in the'
expected struggle. It states that the Prussian Government
has not thrown any obstacles in the way of this emigration.

Extract of a private letter from Warsaw, dated Dec. 22 :-
" We this moment learn that the Emperor refuses listen to
the proposals of the Polish deputation, and is already on his
match against us. This news, instead of exciting alarm, has
created joy. No country ever presented a finer scene than that
of Poland at this moment. Twelve or fifteen persons at the
utmost are subject to universal execration, while all the
various shades of opinion that existed previous to the revo-
lution, have entirely disappeared. The magical words—
" our country," absorb every other idea, and predominates
over every other sentiment. The women, according to an-
cient custom before a battle, are preparing lint and other
dressings, singing the while the songs of Beranger. We
have not received the Paris Journals till within these few
days, as they were previously strictly prohibited. It.
would, perhaps, be desirable that the deople should
be made acquainted with the full extent of their danger, so
that they might not give themselves up to pespair, in case,
at the commencement of the struggle, fortune should not be
favourable to Poland. But it is difficult to make our fellow-
countrymen listen to reason, for the most reflecting will not
admit a moment's doubt of our success. The number of
killed, on the night of the 29th November, has been stated
by the German journals to amount to 6,000, but it has been
ascertained that it did not exceed 300."

( From (lie Courier de L'Ass.)
Several villages of Savoy, on the extreme frontier of
Piedmont, have displayed the tri-colored flag, and the police
have been very cautious in the measures they have taken to
repress this feeling. The Government evinces great uneasi-
ness; the garrison of Chambery has been augmented to
4,500 men, and a Guard Mobil* is forming. The mountain
called Le Chat is mounted with numerous cannon, and the
old fort of Rumelly is under repair.

The following are accounts from Algiers up to the 24th
Dec.—Medrah has elected a new Bey from among the
Moors. Beleda has also its Bey ; and the inhabitants wbo
fled from the theatre of war have returned. The town will
become a shelter for our troops in time of need, and a safe
and strong place for travellers. This will intimidate those
who might otherwise have been disposed to distrust the
tranquillity of the country, which, however, at present is
so complete, that the road between Algiers and Medrah is
thronged with travellers; among whom the European costume
is as frequent as those of the Bedouins and Moors. Many
Frenchmen have gone alone to meet the Moors of Mount
Atlas, and have been hospitably received by the natives.
Our condition is, in consequence, much improved—corn,
cattle, and provisions arrive from all points. A National
Guard is forming at A*iers : Moors and Jews apply to join
the French and other Europeans, and the Commander-in-
Chief will probably accede to their wishes, as a means of
facilitating the union of the different nations. The Wm,a
of the experimental farmers have not been suspended. Ili.
veral hundred acres have already been ploughed and sown ;
and all the corn that has sprung up is healthy, and promises
abundant crops. The son of the ex-Bey of Titteri, it appears
will remain here with his family, and that of his father, who
is gone to France. The relations between the General-in-
Chief Clause', and the Bey of Tunis, are most amicable.
The Bey of Oran has been asked for French troops, and
they have been sent him. The fort of Bona is also about
to be occupied.

Free the Menge). des Charcbreo.
It SEAM certain, according to accounts from Bordeaux
and Marseilles, that the plot which miscarried in Paris at
-the latter part of December, was to have been carried into
execution about the same time at both those towns. At the
former place, proceedings have been commenccd against
the conspirators ; and, at Marseilles, an order of the
day bas been published, which expresses the thanks
of the Mayor to -tbe National Guards, for their *S-
eies services in thwarting the criminal projects which the
enemies of the public tranquillity intended to have executed,
at Marseilles, as wail as in the capital, on the night of Dec.
"A. A subject of visual conversation at Marseilles at this
moment, is the sermon of -a priest, named Cambalot, who,l
after speaking with vehemence of the outrages offered to
religion, added, thaao,ooo Ministers of the 10031 ID wens
ready to fitha Chard against the persecutions of the
Liberals. )...•
