LATEST FROM FRANCE.

Ne,c- York, Jan. 2.-The packet ship Don
Quixotte, Capt. Clarke, from Havre, brings us
Paris papers TO the 18th, and Havre to the 18th
of November inclusive. We observe that a fall
of IL per cent. had occurred in the Five per
Cent. Consols, within the space OF nine days
The papers attribute this depression 10 the APP
proach of general crisis in Europe, but more
particularly in England, brought about, as they
say, by the imprudence OF capitalists in employ
ing all their means in the new associations that
arc forming, not only in Europe but America.
