VERY LATE FROM FRANCE.
We we're last evening politely favored
with Paris papers to The 7th November,
brought by the ship Brandt, ia 40 days
from Rochelle. We do not discover, on
a hasty perusal of them, any news Of
msch public interest. The latest paper
contains the French king, speech at the
opening Of the Chambers but it presents
to eur view nothing Of novelty. The
same paper announces that Mr.. Pinkney
was about to return to the United State,
the climate Of Russia not agreeing with
his healtlI, and that Mr.. Gal'atin had re-
quested to be recalletby our government
as minister to the court Of France.
These papers contain London dates to
the lst of November, inclusive; but not
an article of the least importance is al
fprded Us. 8 per cent. conSols were at
that date, in London, 81 SIS; 4 do 9Si;
