GERMAN PAPERS.

[FROM TUN ALTONA MERCURY, NOV. 10.1
BERLPJ, Nov. s.—Letters from 'Vilna, of the
12th of October, mention, that Count Lauriston,
late Ambassador at the Court of Russia, having re-
paired to the head-quarters of the Russian General-
issimo Prince Kutusow, was received at the out-posts
by Prince Wolkonsky, Adjutant-General to his
Imperial Majesty, and conducted in his carriage to
bead-quarters. The greatest myttery hangs over the
occasion and the object of this mission.
ST. PETERSRURGH, Oc r. 13.—During the blast
month 558 ships entered our port, and 443 sailed
out. Among the ships which arrived, there was on-
ly one under Danish colours. Existing circum-
Stan Cos cause a stagnation in the trade in foreign
commodities, but the shipments of Russian produce
are so great, that only a few articles will btleft.--..
Grain is forbidden to be shipped from Archangel, ex-
cept to England, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden.
SMYRNi' San. 2.—The plague has entirely cats.
ed, and trade is again very brisk. There are at pre-
sent 3U English ships lying, mostly taking in dried
fruits. The merchants here are become very wary
in their speculations, because they think that the
peace of the empire depends upon the events of the
wnr in the North of Europe.

Li EGE, Oct. 2.6.—The following circular has been
addressed, by the Prefect, to the Sub-prefects and
Mayors of this department:—.
" G/lITLIMEN,—A few intriguers, such as Malet,
Guide', &c. attempted on the 23d instant, under the
cover of fictitious orders, to place under constraint his
Excellency the Minister of General Police, the Prefect
of Police of Paris, and Count Hulan, Commandant
of the first Military Division. This shameless and
frantic attempt took place at seven in the morning ;
an hour afterwards these wretched agitators were ar-
rested. A fictitious Senatus-Consultum was found
upon them ; they spread the most agitating of all re-
ports, namely, that of the death of the Emperor,while
his Nlajesty, full of glory and health, was carrying
on his great undertakings—while constant and ample
dispatches contained the most tranquillising accounts
with regard to the sacred person of the father of his
country, and his unbounded exertions for the welfare
of his subjects. I have received the above details with
regard to this crime; the Minister of General Police
and of the Interior has informed me of the arrest of
the. guilty. The tranquillity of Paris was not for a
moment disturbed ; that city places full confidence
in the Itrength and wisdom of the Government.—
Tranquillise, Gentlemen, the people under your ju-
risdiction; they may be assured that a Government
founded in victory, and conducted by wisdom and
genius, can never be shaken by insurrection.
I am, &c."
