NJ. B. Constant was elected, as was ex-
pected, Deputy Of the sarthe, with M. De.
sormeaux. The first is too well known
10 require any mention of his qualities, the
latter is much less known at Paris: ne IS
only known as rich landed proprietor, who
has tor several years been mayor OF the
small commune Of Parime.
M. the Count de St. Afghan, who has
left the mayorality of Nantz to be perfect
OF the Cotes du Nord, has been nominated
deputy to the Lower Loire; anu this IS
the just recompense OF the services which
he has rendered during his gratuItous ad'
minIstratiou.
M. Daunou, one of the most celebrated
members of the Institute, and one OF our a
blest writers, has been nominated deputy
of Finisterre, and at Lyons, M. de Cour-
celle, formerly commandant of the national
guard of that city, and enjoying from So
600, to &C, 900 francs of rentes, has been e.
lected for that place.
You will remark, that among the five de-
puties, there are three OF old noble families
and that thus the complaint OF the exclu-
sion of the nobility by the law of elections
has not been realized.
London, April 9.
A rumour has been spread that the Com
mons Report of the Bank committee has
been drawn up. and will be laid before the
House before the Easter holidays. Wehave
reason to think that this rumour is wholly
void of foundation-that the Committee SO
far from having prepared their report, have
scarcely completed the examination of evil
dence-and that it will not be till after
the holidays, that any Report will be pre-
sented.
At the same time the public may be sure
that perfectly aware of the great anxiety,
felt by every class of commercial men, and
OF the stagnation of mercantile enterprise
and speculation consequent upon the I'M
certainty that must of course exist until the
eport is presented, every effort will be
made by his Majesty's Government to &C
CELEBRATE it as much as possible. But it will
easily occur that the immense importance
of the subject demands the most deliberate
and mature consideration.
We have received this morning the Paris
Papers of Tuesday last. They confirm the
account of the fact of the as>assi aion of
M. Kotzebue. The wretched homicide
appears to have been influenced merely by
political animosity.
The following are eytracts:-

"Our town was yesterday the theatre OF
a horrid scene of tanatici$m. nj. Augustus
de Kotzebue, whose literary celebrity had
even penetrated TO Japan, has been assassi-
mated in his bed chamber A student, or
at least an individual who had Inscribed
himself as such, on the register Of Strangers
al the Weinberg Inn, entered The apart
ment OF NJ. de Kotzehue, attacked him re-
lati,e to his opinions and conduct. and at
ter short delay, and proposals for duel,
which II. de Kotzebue probably refused,
stabbed him 4 times with poniard. NJ.
de Kot1.bue fell dead in the arms of his
eldest daughter. who ran into the room on
hearing the cries of her father. The as
ssssin quietly walked out ofthe house, kneIt
down in the street, and raised his clasPed
hands TO heaven, exclaimed, Wyatt Teuto-
MIA. Afterwards rising, he stabbed him
self on the spot. The assistance which
was administered to the assassin leaves e.
ven 10 day, some signs of lite, but 1t IS not
thought that he can recover.
The University diploma found upon him
states hisname to be Sand; his shirt is mark
ed S; but he had inscribed himself at the
inn under the name Of Heinrich. A billet
was also found upon him, with another po-
nard, containing the following words; The
