This forenoon we received the French Papers of
Sunday and Monday, with the Doile of Tuesday by
Express. Galignani's Messenger (an English' Paper
published in Paris) contains an important -letter from
St. Petersburgh, stating that the Emperor of RUSSIA
and the Grand Duke Attestant. are both indisposed;
and that the commerce of Odessa is so intertapted by
the Turks, that on the complaints of the merchants
there, the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople is or=
dered to demand redress.
The Journal dultlidi reports that the' King of SPAIN
has issued his Decree of Amnesty, but it is not believed.
The Moniteur of Monday, on the *authority of letters
from Madrid, states that the Decree had not been issued,
but that it might soon be expected. It further states,
that the second article of the Decree,-will exempt front.
the Royal clemency, ‘; all the Chiefs of the revolt' ins,
the Isle of Leon ; and all the Officers of the regiments
sent from Ocana to combat the rebels, and who em:
braced their cause ; and those who, on the 7th ofMarch
forced the KING to swear to' the Constitution all the,
Judges, and all the accomplices in the assassinations of
VENUESA, GOEFFIEU and Etao." The following is the
only extract we have room to.quote at length :
PRIVATE LETTER.
PETERSBURGH, FEBRUARY Y.
A few days ago the EMPEROR was suddenly taken ill,
`and still keeps his room. No danger, however, is AO.
prehended. The Grand Duke MICHAEL is also indis•
posed, and his marriage is postponed. General
ARAOKTSCHAILIIN, Director• General of the Russian Mi-
litary Colonies, after having visited all those establish.;
ments, has presented a Report to the EMPEROR, and
proposed several important changes. The entire body
of Merchants at Odessa, as well ay the Magistrates of
that town, have just addressed to the Government
a Meinorial, in which they set' forth the incessant
vexations which Russian commerce in the Black Sea
experiences from ' the Turks. The increasing com-
merce of Odessa, inspires the Ottomans with peat
jealousy, and the evident object of the measures
pursued for some time by the Porte, is to de-
stroy that commerce. We are assured that such an
impression was made by this memorial, upon the minds
of the EMPEROR and his Council, that very precise in-
structions were sent off by Count NESSELRODE to the
Consul-General, NI. MiNztacny,who is supposed to haye
reached Constantinople; they prescribe him to demand,
as a previous, condition, a sine qua non of all treaty with
the Porte, the redress of the grievances complained of
by his Majesty's subjects dwelling in the town of
Odessa and the other maritime places on the Black Sea.

Intelligence from Constantinople to the 17th ult. repre-
sents the Tutkish affairs as in a most deplorable state,
and derives additional credit and importance, from its
insertion in a Journal avowedly hostile to the Cyreek
cause. The Greeks are stated to have captured the
flotilla of the ferocious AsoutanuT, left by the Captain
Pacha to blockade Missoltinglii, and money was wanted
to enable them to assume the offensive in all quartets,
and complete the establishment of their independence.
11 An article from Genoa announces, that an armed
flotilla had sailed front Algiers, to cruise against the
Spaniards.
Lisbon Papers to the 1(---.;reached us this fore-
noon. They are pi incipally filled with the accounts
from Rio de Janeiro, translated from the English.Pa-
pets up to the 29th of January. Great hopes were en-
tertained in Lisbon from the EMPEROR having dissolved
the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, but the anticipa-
tions of Brazil being again brought in subjection to ,Por-
tugal must be considerably diminished, when the
promptitude with which the EMPEROR has given a new
and liberal Constitution to his subjects ds known.
Letters from Mexico, dated the 23d of December,
have been. received. which state, that the arrival of the
Briti)h. Consuls at the Island of Sacrificios had given
the greatest satisfaction. The Casde of San Juan
d'Ulloa was expected to surrender in a very short time,
the Spaniards being destitute of the. means of defending
it for any length of time.

After considerable preparation,. research for piece.,
dents that does great creJit to his industry, and an
application to every individual who could give the
slightest information :respectiUg " the law's delay,"
Mr. J. WILLIAMS last night brought forw and his pro-
mised motiop on the subject of the Court of Chancery,
and concluded a speech of considerable length; full
of " wise sa xs and modern instances," by moving 'for
44 a Committee to inquire into the delay and expense of
the Court of Chancery, and the causes thereof." The'
Learned Gentleman marshalled a host of cases which
come into Cirancery•in :I.'l a) ogainst time, and excited
