FRENCH PAPERS.

The mortality amongst the Europeans at this ill-fated
colony continued up to the last departure from thence to au alarm-
ing smut. By the ship Marla. arrived at Plymouth last week,
we learn that the number of deaths bad frightfully increased, and
that the season was more than usually unhealthy and unfavourable.
The crew of the vessel were all taken iIL Several were conveyed
on shore by order of the Captain, so that they might receive Letter
comforts and attendance; but, although every assistance was ren-
dered, most of the unfortunate men died in a few days, and were
buried in the Beglish church-yard. It has been found necessary by
the owners and captains of ships in England destined for Sierra
Leone, to increase the number of hands one-third, and in some
vessels one-half, but it is now difficult to procure men even at
doable wages, so great and general is the fear of that pestilential
climate.

A letter from Toulon, of the 9da, says—" We have this moment
received the news that 2,500 men, making part of the expedition to
the Morn, have arrived at Marseilles, where they are under
quarantine. • *
" On the 20th Dec. last, Count Capo d'lsulas published a De-
cree concerning the organization of the Senate, of the Ministry of
State. and of the Chamber of Accounts."
A letter from Mayence, of the 13th Dee. states, that it was re
ported that the Act relative to the navigation of the Rhine, pro-
posed by Russia and Holland, has not obtained the assent of the
French Government.
This morning, at two o'clock, the thermometer of Reamer at
Buis was at 11 deg. below Zero. .

It appears to be certain that the Prince of Saxe-Coburg will ob-
tain the suffrages of the three Powers, parties to the Treaty of
London, for the dignity of King of Greece.
From the Courrier Francais.
PARIS, Dec. 27.
The Ministry is so alive to the Representative System, that the
most extraordinary reports are in circulation. We have already men-
tioned that the French Cabinet had submitted to foreign Cabinets
some questions relative to the internal situation of France. These
communications, so contrary to the national dignity, have of
late been mote frequent; and it is said that the foUowing ques-
tion has been asked :—ln case the French Government should and
it necessary to make an alteration in the fundamental laws, could it
rely on support from Foreign Powers? To this note no answer
has yet been received. The French Ministry relies probably on
the peace in the East to allow the co-operation of the Powers in
the affairs of France; and it thinks that at present a new Holy
Allison may be formed. It is painful to us to mention such rumours.
After so many proofs of humiliation, it is time France was restored
to her place and *her power, and that the counter-revolutionist.
should cease to invoke foreign aid, when at home they meet only
with neglect and contempt.
From the Constitutionnel.
PARIS, Dee. 27.
The acquittal of the 'lomat dies Deists has made the Ministry '
furious, and its Evening Paper published yesterday the two follow-
ing articles
The infallibility of the inferior tribunals is a respectable action.
The arra of the Court the day before yesterday it beyond our com-
. petetcy ; but we can assert, as within our competency, that the
licentiousness of the Press has now no bounds, and that legislation
has left the Government disarmed, exposed to the attacks of fac-
• tiers. It is wisdom not to be vexed at what is past, but to make
• it a guide to improvement in our institutions. Thus the checks
which the cause of order may receive are useful ; for this is for the
general interest, which must prevail."
" No, the penal laws against the Press are not snEcient. This
is proved by the Tribunal et Correctlonel Philce having sentenced
the Editor of the Journal des .Delats toils months' imprisonment,
and to pay a floe of soo francs.nd that the' Procureor de Rol had
appealed quint the minimum. The article of the kW invoked
against the Editor increases the ens to 10,000 francs, and impri-
soomeat to Ave tears,: ',than interdict on all civil rights. We
must 'ea, ander', for another source of the licentiousness of the ,
Pens, and ko' believe that our legislative education is every day
nuking fresh peeress.*
It becomes the anarchical apologists of right divine, the era
breeds et site tricks, to complain of the licentiousness of the
Press, when they haie pushed it to the greatest extreme. It was
net asseegh to maintain that the Menke Chamber could not re-
fit* Its assent to the. Budget—Doir the tribunals must submit
their consciences to the passions of the Ministry; and, for the
satkfact of M. de Pullin; declare an author guilty when they
theoghtliinsinneent. The Magistrates, therefore, are inehe same
Miran as the Deputies. It la not the Legislation that must be
refound, bet the Magistrates who must be changed. What is
Wended by these threats of the Ministerial Journal? Are we to
have Polignac Commission, as we bad formerly Munn Petite-
glens ? Or, will the Chief Minister, condemning himself to be po-
polar, 'teethe Press the Trial by Jury ?

.The Press can never bring a Government into con-
tepays but by giving it credit for virtues which it does not
plssesit, on, the principle that " praise undeserved is se-
.' tire most severe.
At the annual tithe audit held at the White Hart, at
Abridge, on Saturday last, the customary liberal enter•
pinment was given by the Rev. R. Sutleffe, who made
an abatement of ten per cent: on the usual payment on
account of the late unfavourable season, and. the low
price of agricultural produce, the original tithe being
"wally moderate with the neighbouring parishes.
