 Rv inc Havrp, from Havre, the EditOH ot the New-YOrk American have received tnSlF Paris files to ths 2Sd of November inclusive.
 The most important intelligence 'S tnee O' tho creation by the King of France oE thirty cir Peers for life. in order to carry the bill in the House of Peers, for the abolition of hered- itarv Peerage, It is somewhat remarkable that this act, deemed indispensable by the Ministry, in order to carry measure for which the nation had clamored, is condemn ed unsparingly by all that portion of the Pa- ris Press, which claims especially to speak tn behalf of the nation. The Journal des Debats, heretofore the able and vigorous defender Ot the Hereditary Peerage, and La France NO"- relle, are the only two Journals in which we have seen any vindication of the performance creating the new Peers. The censure of the papers is unmeasured, characterising the pro- ceeding as coup d'etat, and assimiating it to the performances which led to the overthI ow of Charles x.
 The King of Holland still held out against the terms prescribed by the Conference.- Meanwhile, they had been formally assented to by the Belgians, and the ratification there. of, between that Government and the Minis ters of the Five Powers. had been exehan- ged. The London Times of the 9th, insists that the British Ambassador should be with drawn from the Hague, asserting its convlc- ton, at the same time, that the Dutch King had no reason to count upon either Prussia or Russia to uphold him in his obstinate Op- position.
 The Cholera in England, still was confined to Sunderland, and there caused little havoc. Its characteristic on the Continent was rap idity of extension, after it had appeared. Of this characteristic at Sunderland, It seems I wholly divested-spreading slowly, and not l very fatally. The Paris COnstitutionnel states that letters had been received from London, containing tho intelligence of the Cholera ha- wing made it's appearance on board of vessels in the Docks. The London papers, which are vigiant observers on such occasions, are quite silent on this piece of news !; it may, therefore, be set down among the unfounded rumors of the day.
 The Reform question aod the meeting of Parliament were still in suspense. A further propagation of Parliament was determined On, but for how long was not ascertalned.- The Times insists that the only alternative for ministers, is a creation of Peers and that to talk of carrying the bill by conversions was all {" babble." Possibly the example of the French Ministers in creating Peers, II the measure shah prove efficacious in France, may impart to the English Cabinet sufficient energy for like step.
 London, Nov. e1.-The news from Sunder- land is unlavorable. A letter from that place, dated the l7th, says, |" arrived at the instant of the meeting of the Commission of health, and am sorry to say there are six sudden deaths, and many bad cases. Every body maintains that the disease is not contagious. because no person attached to the sick has been infected. 1t is said there are also more cases at Stockton and Newcastle. There arc not, after all. more deaths here. than are common at this season, perhaps less." The Hamburgh Correspondent mentions the number of new cases by the cholera on the 14th, at 781, rscoveries 2S7, deaths 4O9. No new case had~3Seurrsd for the last eight days al, ,Altona. The last patients 1.-two chil- dren) had recovered, so that. on the 18th, there was not single individual afflicted with the cholera in that tOwn."
 Cholera on board the United States ship John Adams, in tke MediterraneGn.-A letter from Alicant, in Spain, dated Nov. l2. says: We are officially advised by the Eastern post, of the arrival at Port Mahon. of an American Sloopsof War from the Black Sea. having lost A men on her voyage by the cholera, and II indisposed. Itappears that the com man. der of the sloop had stepped at an uninhabit- ed Island in the Black Sea, landed his crew, clsansed and fumigatcd his vessel. The Board of Health are of opinion that the II infrm have not the cholera notwithstanding which the sloop was not admitted to the LaZaretto. but sent round to cove in the island. under the observation of the Board of Health. The gentlemen to whom we are indebted for this information, supposes that the ship referred to is the John Adams, which conveyed Com- modore Porter to Constantinopls; and that after landing the Commodore, she entered the Black Sea for the purpose of visiting Odessa" We believe the fact is, that she did not go into the Black Sea at all {; and that the island where she stopped was in the Me diterranean.-Eds.

 SiVear not at aH."-On Tuesday, gen. tleman who was impannslled on Jury in the Court of Sessions, asked the Recorder whether he might not be excused from swear ing. The Court replied, that if he had con- scientiOus scruples on the subject of swear ing, he might affirm. The Juror said, he considered that the words Swear not at alI.' should be literally construed !; and he consid- cred the solemn affirmation of any fact sim ply advanced, was cO-equal with swearing.
 COurt-You cannot serve, sir. without ei- ther affirming or swearing.
 Juror-If the Court permit me to retire this day, will think the matter over again tomorrow.
 COurt-You may retire. sir.
