FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, DECEMBER 15.
Yesterday morning our Minister for Foreign Affairs
received an extraordinary courier from Madrid. He
lett that capital on the 6th. At his departure the
greatest tranquillity prevailed. The two last Sittings
of the Landaburian Society had, however, been very
stormy. Martinez San Martin, the Political Chief
of Madrid under the late Ministry, against whom
the Fiscal Paredes issued a writ, on the ground of his
being implicated in the affair of the 7th of July, and'
from the effects of which he was saved by the Supreme
Tribunal of Justice annulling the process of the Fiscal,
presented himself in the last of the two Sittings. He
was, however, so ill received, that be was under the
necessity of withdrawing immediately, to avoid the
imminent danger in which he was placed.—Journal

de Paris.
Several persons attribute the depression of the
funds, which took place yesterday, to the dispatches
received from Madrid; but we are of • opinion that
the fluctuation had its origin in other causes, and we
have some reason to be persuaded, that the news
from Madrid is not of a nature to exercise this un-
favourable influence.—/bid.

The Duke of Wellington came, at two o'clock yes-
