London, Mrch 3o.-We have receiv-
ed by express, the Etoile, dated yester-
day, and the Paris papers of Monday.
Their contents are of little importance.
The Journal DIES Dcbats is not yet wea-
ry of attacking M. De Villele. There
is an article in the paper of Monday,
which commences with this oracular
declaration go complete divorce has
been established between NJ. De Viii
lele and public opinion" The blows
OF his assailants, however, seem only
to fix the Minister still more firmly in
his hold upon power, which is not eX-
actly the result that would be antici-
pated from the "divorce" of the Jour-
nal des Debats.

The .4Agemeino Zeitung, received this
morning, to the oath inst. contains the
following paragraphs:
81. Petersburg, March l.-Mr. STRAIT
ford Canning, as is well known, arriv-
ed here some weeks ago from Vienna,
as English Ambassador Extraordina-
~ 10 our Court, and will remain, it is
said, until May. Nothing that can be
depended upon transpires respecting
the frequent conferences between him
and our government. Indeed all the
course of our recent policy is covered
with an impenetrable veil behind which
only few of the initiated are allowed
to see. Our emperor directs himself
all the important diplomatic negocia-
tons with foreign Cabinets, and con-
fdes the execution only to Count Mes
selrode, who is at the head Of the Fo-

ken for granted, that the affairs Of the
Greeks, which have excited such gen

chief subject Of these conferences with
the English Ambassador but at pre-

power, our Emperor in concert with
his Allies, will not consent to this in

poor peasant had been forced to sell
the tiles off the roof Of his house TO pay
his creditors. Upwards Of 100 persons
of distinction, suspected Of being con-

Janissaries, had been strangled; and all
