• The Paris Papers, dated 111.anday, contain ho news,
fo eign or domestic, of the least importance. The
Legitimise Deputies assembled on Friday to the number
of two hunired, for the purpose of nominating the De-
putation to be preterit at the opening of the Sestion,
which was to take plaice yesterday. The Constitution.
nel, in a posttclipt Jated Saturday night, states, that
ihformation had been received announcing the appoint•
meat of M. de Roux Evar. to the Seals of the Foreign De.
pat meat, vacant by the retirement of M. deFiniumem
He is, says the Comatilutionnel, one who has the merit
of irritating the vanity of none, and the inconvenience

of discouraging the ambition of as few. Nothing is
determined by his appointment ; it is merely temporary,
and agreed to by a sort of conventUal between the two
parties till some more efficient Minister should be se-
lected.

A report was prevalent at Paris that the Portuguese
refugees who lately sailed from Plymouth will attempt
a di,embarkation on the north of Oporto; hot we can
yield ao degree of credence t.s this statement.

The Carrier de &erne contains the foliating article :

Mavrocordato and Trikupi are unquestionably the two most
distinguished men in Greece—the former is a man of greet admi-
nistrative talents and indefatigable activity, the latter 'miffed and
industrious man of business. "Trikupl, when a boy, was taken to'
England by Lord Clifford, in whose times& he was carefully !edu-
cated, and at whose death he came Into possenhao of about 4,04001

Some people say the President is apprehensive that England
will interfere in the form of government about to be Oren to
Greece; and it is positively asserted that Mr. Stratford Canning
has expressed his dissatidactiun with the measures already taken
for the organization of the Civil and Military Deputmenta. The
President's forbearance towards General Church—the reception
given to Lord Cochrane—and the extraordinary respect with
which the English have for some time past been treated by Count
Capo d'lstria, lend an air of probability to the rumuur.—Bous
