French Papers to the 17th instant have reached
es. From the frequent conferences which the Duke
de Rica Elmo, the Prussian Ambass&dor, and the
'Akron MOUNIFR, President of the Commission for
liquidating the foreign debts, have with the Duke
of WELLINGTON, it would seem that hit Grace hen
undertaken the accommodation of the differences be.
tween France and the Prussian creditors. The pay
ment of these debts would enable the French Go-
vernment to demand that the Army of Occupation
shall retire in November nest. There is more than
wisdom in taking other means to effect this result than
the, fine sentiments and expressions of reliance on the
liberality of the Allied Sovereigns, which were so
copiously exchanged between the King and the Cham-
bers at the opening of the present Session. Hence
there i• a prospect of the evacuation of France by
the Allied forces in November nest, at which time
three years will have elapsed since the signature of the
last Treaty of Paris. Austria, Spain, and Sardinia,
hare already brought• their negociations to a close.—
Fo'r some reason yet unknown. it is believed that
the Duke of WELLINGTON will prolong his stay at
Park until the beginning of April.
September is again talked of as the period when
the Congress will assemble at Dusseldorf. -But the
departure of the Allied Army is also fixed (by con-
jecture) for the present year; and a letter from the
Emperor ALESANDLIL to Count WOOONEOW has been
sited in support af this allegation.

The death of Cnxitt.Es VIII. of Sweden, and the
succession of CUARLES JOHN was officially notified to
the King of FRANCE on Sunday, by the Swedish Entity
Extraordinary.
The Frankfort intelligence informs es that Consti.
lotions are arranging in Germany, for the purpose •
of introducing a Representative System lute the dif.
fereut States. It is added, that the Diet will decree
the principles which are to be common to all the
Governments, with regard to individual Liberty, the
Libety of else Press, the Equality of Men in the eye
of the Law, and the privilege of not 'being Timed
without their own consent. This is a state of things
very desirable in Germany, and it is to be hoped that
such enlightened views will ultimately prevail ; but
there seems at the present moment a disposition in
certain quarters not very favourable to the idea of
making any concessions to the People.
The Madrid Gouge again refers with exultation
to the captor. of MINA. The triumph displi*yed on
this vaunted defeat over an inconsiderable force.
Worm the-iinpUtaiVee Illiched to this tircumstance.
The Spanish Papers now dwell on the honours grant-
ed to those who were successful in the action against
that enterprising and gallant Chief; but we do not
Warn from them the place of MINA'S pretended trial,
nor the mature of the death to which he has been
doomed. All the troops who assisted at his captors
have been honoured with medals ; the dragoon who
took him prisoner, and who bears the distiugoishing
name of CERVANTES, has had a medal stating the
circumstances has been promoted, and has also re.
ceived the reward of 500 plastics, which had been
pierionaly offered for the assassination of the Chief.
The French 5 per Cents. were at 65 I. 60e.
