Nv. from Havre, we have, says the New Cou
rler, our files of Paris papers to the afternoon q
the 31st December. We find but little interes
ting in them which has already been published il
the English papers in our possession. In the de
bate in the Chamber of Deputies, on the S0th
! the Minister of Foreign Affairs observed, in re
laton To the affairs Of Belgium, ''Some Difficult
ties have arisen relative to the opening of Oh
Sche.dt France will never abandon question
of this nature. The freedom of the navigation
of rivers is one of the principles she processes
These principles she will take care to make re
spected." Two commissioners had been appoint
/ ed on the part Of Brabant, to attend the confer
ences in London, where, however, the indepen
pence OF Belgium has already been definitely
settled, aud the negotiations still pending proba
bv relate to points of minor Importance, aud t.
the nomination OF future sovereign.
Some skirmishes had taken place on the from
tiers Of Dutch Flanders. between the Dutcl
troops and those of Brabant, but they appear o.
little consequence, except as showing the bal
feeling which exist between the two nations.
The events in Poland were made known BY
the Emperor Nicholas to his guards at a review
in st. Petersburg. and the accounts say, excited
amongst them general cry Of indignation and a
call to be led OIL against the rebels On the other
hand every thing evnces determination on the
part Of the Poles to meet with desperate courage
the storm that threatens to oyerwheim them
The best wishes of the good and liberal minded
in every country will attend them duriug the un-
equal contest.
The present French Ministry seem, at all
events, determined to4void war. The decla-
ration Of the President of the Council, NJ Lafitte
in the Chamber OF Deputies, on the S0th Dec.
t.,
(he says euterans no idea of conquest. but.de-
votes her attention to her internal tranquility and
prosperity. II this were not the opinion of France,
she ould not be worthy Of good Govern
ment." (Cheers.)
Wehave already published an account of some
revolutionary movements in the Papa territories,
which the following seem to confirm. The chan
mel through which it comes, is however rather cir
cuitOus.
=. The following is extracted from Marseiles
letters which nave just reached us
from Leghorn state that the commolion which has
broken out at Rome is a real revolution. The
people have taken possession Of fort St. Angelo,
proclaimed the liberty & indepeudece of all Italy,
and have hOisted the three colours Of the Italian
Republic.-A letter from Genoa announces, that
at the demand of the people, the prisoners for
political offences, who were confined IN great
numbers in that town, have been set at liberty"

A fellow BY the name of Brown, but few days
released from the Psnitenltiary in New.Orleans,
committed two murders during the last week in
January, the more attrocious because in one case
wanton and unprovoked: and in the other, he
was entirely the asgressor. Ii seems that In pass
ing a sailor, who was quietly eating his dinner,
Brown stole his handkerchief. The sailor whose
name was Boaden, pursued nina scufile ensu-
ed--and the sailor was stabbed to the heart. In
the other case. there appears to have been not
even the apology OF a scutfle for the deed.
CO,0,ferfeiters Idken.-We learn from New
Orleans paper Of the Slst ult. that four persons
have been arrested in that city on whom Sal 900,
counterfeit notes on the Bank of the United States
were found. 1t is understood that the gang con-
sisted Of seven, and that the three who were still
at large had $4,000 with them, making fraud
total of 10000.
Since the above was written we have received
an evening paper of the 51st, from which we
copy the following article:
Co.mferfeiters.-David and James Brown
were taken into custody on Saturday, having in
their possession between thirty and forty thous-
and dollars counterfeit bills on the United States
Bank at Philadelphia. and the branch at New
York, aud considerable amount of genuine
bills. Three other persons suspected of being
connected with them, are also in custody; bat
as they have not been examined. and as no spurl-
Gus money was found upon them, their names
are withheld. They will be examined before
the mayor tomorrow morning.
