After the debates on the budget were closed, the
Nlinirer of the Interior and of iusice, and the Director
General of the affairs rela.ive to the Catholic worship,
spoke itt answer to the of jectinns that had been made
by different speakers. The latter said, " I do not rise
to renew the debate, but merely to say, that I am aF•
thorised to announce, that if there are still any persoos
who retain the. least doubts respecting the legality' and
the propriety of the decrees of his Majesty, of 14th June
last, a document will shortly appear, which, it is hoped,{
will quiet their alarms, not only on this point,-but also
on others ; and which will afford proof of the constant
solicitude of tour august Sovereign to protect the precious.
deposit of our religious liberties, transmitted to us by
our ancestors."

The French Papers of Tuesday, and the Emile of
yesterday, have reached us. The death of the Emperor
of RUSSIA is of course a prominent feature in them,
but they contain no additional information on the sub-
ject. TI :e Etoile states, the the Emperor was on his
return to Petersburgh, to he present at the Christmas
fetes, and that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count
NESSELRODIC, had received letters from his Imperial
Majesty, relative to the conferences between his Excel-
lency and the British and French Ambassadors.
The Eteile cant:airs a copy of the treaty of commerce
and navigation, entered into between Great Britain and
the Hanseatic towns, the ratifications of which were
exchanged in London on the 2,1 instant. It is a treaty
of pure reciprocity, by which the vessels of Great Bd.
ta'n are admitted to the ports of the Hanseatic towns
on the same conditions as their own vessels, which po..
se s a similar privilege in our own ports.
Accounts from Vienna state, the diplomatic negocia-1
tioas between the Austrian Cabinet and the foreign
Ambassadors continue, and no doubt is entertained that
.she affairs cf Greece is the subject which occupies their
attention, though nothing transpires as to the result.

An article from blidrid states, that a Colonel, an
Adjutant, and a Captain of the French garrison in Bt.
Sebastian, had been put under arrest by order of the
General commanding the subdivision at Bayonne.

The Quotidienne, in a letter from Madrid, treats ns
to softie. curious information respecting the state of
affairs in South America. It woold appear that General
OLANITA, who was killed by the PAltiots some sik
or eight months ago, is revived in the Madrid Gazette,
and maintains the Royal cause in Upper Peru. Mean-
while all the Insurgent Generals are making insurrec-
tions against each other, so that the Royalists will have
noshing else to do but to occupy the field which their
mutual,sleughter. shall have left vacant. There will
thus he.: die necessity for an expedition from
,Spain, as
the , Prftr;Tot General LAMAR Will fight BOLIVAR;
LANZ* will overthrow &YORK; and the other Generals,
Captains, and soldier:, will all; like the offspring of
the dragon's teeth, destroy each other.
The Journal des 'Debos contains a long article on
the character of the deceased EhIItZROR, in which some
partiCulars respecting !um are, we believe, stated fur
the first time. It seems the French are indebted to
ALXXANDRR for the integrity of the kingdom. The
Rhenish Mercury, a journal which was the organ of
the Liberals of Germany at the close of the war, con-
tended for the separation of Alsace from France, as
being not only. German in race and language, but
forming pan of the valley of a German river. We
have now an explanation of the manner in which the
design of detaching Alsace was frustrated. "We have
had occasion to see (says the Journal des Debats), the
Memoires in which one of the most able of the Prus-
sian Generals (Gketszkistr, we suppose) demonstrated
to the German Minces, that it would be both shameful
and dangerous for -the Germanic Federation not to
recover Alsace; it was Russia which turned aside
this blow, by maintaining that this province ought to
revert to Austria, which gave rise to a contest between
the Conquerors."
The following extract is from the Moils of yesterday:
PARTS, Dae. 20.

Some Journals, in announcing the death of the
Emperor Alexander, incorrectly call him the descend•
ant of Peter the Great. Peter I. was of the House of
Itomanoff, %% Mat mounted the Throne of Russia in
/613, in the person of the Czar Michel Fedorowitz.
The Empress Elia4heth. daughter of Peter the Great,
dying childless in 1762, it passed to the Prince Parr
of Holstein Gottorp, the son of another daughter of
Peter the Great. He took the name of Peter 111. the
Emperor Paul was his son, and the Emperor Alexander,
consequently, was his grandson.
The house of Holstein Gottorp, which reigns in Rus-
siA, is a branch of the ancient house of Oldt-nburgh,
which reigns in Denmark, and reigned in Sweden until
it was succeeded in the latter kingdom by the family
of Beraadotte.

The conditions of the marriage of the Grand Duke
Constantine with the Princess de Lowimare the same as
those of the union of the King of Prussia with the Prin-
cess de Leignits. Neither of the females are to share
the titles or the hononrs of Sovereignty ; nor are their
children to have any claim as heirs to the crown.

An absurd story appeared in a Morning Paper of
yesterday, which would, as the Americans say. have
been 41 important if true." It attributed the death of
the Emperor of Ituasta to the hand of ar. assassin. and
brands a Prince with the worst of crimes on grounds
'so slier; (or rather 11,1 grounJs all), that we are
astonished at the hardihood with which it is put forth,
and its accuracy main dined.
