The Paris Papers, of Saturday arrived this morn-
ing, but present nothing that can possefs the least
interest to an English reader.
The Moniteur of Friday contains a Royal Ordi-
nance tending to relieve the soldiery from a part of
their labour. It declares that, considering the coati-'
nual care required to preserve the white uniform of
the Regiments of the Infantry of the Line, the colour
of the ground of their uniform shall in future be
Royal blue.
It is now said, upon authority, that the Journals
were erroneous in stating that the King's Proclama-
tion, addressed to the Electors, and printed infac
simile, has been distributed all over the kingdom.—
They were only lithographic copies which were sent
into the departments, as is customary when they wish
to spread anything promptly, and in great numbers.
The French per Cents. left off on Friday at
76 fr. 12 c.

A private letter from Calais, dated November 3,
says—" Rastelli, the courier, charged with dispatchesl
from the British Government, landed at this port on
the 15th of September, he was the bearer of a pats-'
port from Lord Castlereagh, dated the 14th ; lodged
at the Silver Lion, and exhibited his passpoits to the
Mayor of the town. On his landing from the packet
boat, he appeared to be in goad health and spirits.
I have just been informed by a respectable friend of
mine now residing in London, that, in a conversation
which he had with M. Degacher, the Keeper of the
Hotel de l'Ancienne Poste at St. Omer's, (the iden-
tical inn where her Majesty lodged some months back
on her way to England) two Englishmen, who had
put up at this house, made a proposition to Mrs. Dega-
cher for her to make a declaration against the Queen.
The woman told the strangers that she had none to
make, as she knew nothing amiss of her Majesty.
Foiled in this quarter, the gentlemen next applied to
her husband, to whom they made a similar proposi-
tion, and received a similar answer. They still urged
him, and, as an inducemeut, assured him, if he would
accompany them to London, to swear against the
Queen, he should be handsomely rewarded. g On lui
accorderoit autant voudrat. M. Degacher re-
peated that he had nothing to allege against the
Queen ; on which the strangers rejoined—' It is not
necessary for him to know what to say, since on his
arrival in London he would be instructed as to what
he should say.'—' Ces Messieurs lui dirent, qu'il n'etait
pas necessaire, ont quoi dire, puisque A Londres
on l'instruiroit de ce qu'il auroit A dire. Only a fort-
night ago, two travellers passed through St. Omer's,
for the purpose of beating up for witnesses. Finding
no recruits, they proceeded to Paris."

We have received Frankfort Papers to the 20th of
October. The following are extracts :

VIZ/41NA, OCTOBER 25.

According to the latest accounts of Ali Pacha, this
rebel, with about 600 of his adherents, were still in
possession of the Citadel, built on an island in the
Lake of Joannina. His fate cannot, however, be
doubtful,, his adherents will soon become weary of
their situation, and be ready to purchase an amnesty
from the Porte, on condition of delivering up the
rebel. All the calculations which Ali had built on
the support of the Greeks have proved fallacious, and
the singular circumstance has occurred here, that the
Ottoman Generals led at once the Turkish inhabitants
of the Pachalick in the name of Mahomet, and the
Christians, preceded by the Cross, against the rebel.

We can guarantee the authenticity of the following
anecdote :—When Ali Pacha perceived the determi-
nation of the Porte to employ arms against him, he
hoped to save himself by the help of liberal ideas.
He resolved, therefore, to give the Pachalick a. Con-
stitution. But as he found it difficult from want of
knowledge of a thing of which he had lately heard
so much, to compose such a document from his own
resources, he sent one of his confidants to the lonian
Republic, with a commission "to look about there
for some Constitution-maker, who should bring him
one according to the latest fashion r It should seem
that either a Constitution-maker was not found, which
would prove the incapacity of the agent, or else that
he must\ have arrived too late.—Austrian Observer.
