The Hamburgh Papers bring advice. from St.Peters-
burgh to the 15th ult. which speak of great prepara-
tions on the part of the Russian Government to prose-,
cute the war against the Persians. Divisions of troops
ate marching from the interior of the Empires and all
Offiens are ordered to j ,in the army in Georgia.
From these rigorous demonstrations, it is expected
that the neat campaign will be highly favourable.

The Paris Papers, which leached us last night, are
as barren of news as their immediate predecessors.
The Emile contains no intelligence either from Lisbon
or Madrid, and has but one " retort courteous," on which
joccasion it merely repels a "charge—accusing the
French Cabinet or attempting to browbeat that ofl
Madrid. But it takes no notice of the confident assort.,
ances which are given, with a single exception, by all
the Opposition Journals, both ultra and liberal, that
j the Spanish Government is preparing for hostilities
with increased alacrity, and that it scarcely deigns to
disguise its intentions any longer. Whilst the Moils
passes these statements over in profound silence, it is
content with an allusion to a paragraph in the Quotidi-
cue, in which the latter pretends to renounce q its
former opinions, with respect tosithe hostile designs of
the Spanish Court, merely because the firm of Borns.
CHILD is about to form an establishment at Lisbon.
The organ cf the Apostolicals is not so pliant a convert
as it pretends ; and from the suddeness of its conversion,
we suspect it is assumed to conceal some fraud.
However, if the Spanish Government has any design
of striking a blow in Portugal, it must do so quickly ;
for, according to all accounts, worthy of credit, the
British troops will no longer remain idle spectators of
the [roubles in that country.

Singapore Chrostieles have re.ached us this morning,
through the North and S uth American Coffee-house,
to the 27th October. Ti,e follst ing are extracts :

" The Francis Warden had arrived at Singapore,
for China, which she left on the 2J October. The
commercial accounts from Canton are rasher unfavour-
able, particularly as regards opium, the price of which
had declined to 1,100 dollars per chest for Patna, and
930 for Malwa. The demand was very languid, and
the stock in the market so great, that any rapid im•
provement in price could not be expected. In WI
descriptions of Straits' produce, a fall in price had
been experienced ; and from the numerous cargoes
which have lately gone on the market, is 1 kely to be
overstocked. The opium receiving ships still continue
to lay at Lintio, and to conduct their illegal traffic
without molestation, the Chinese being either unwilling
or afraid to proceed to extremities in compelling them."

The proceedings last night in the House of Com-
mons, when Sir FRANCIS BURDETT brought forward
his motion on the Catholic Question, occupy to-day a

taking into Its Immediate consideration the present state of the
