Day after clay we read the same announcement in the foreign: articles of our contemporaries—" We have received the Paris papers and letters from our correspondent : they are wholly desti- tote of interest." The truth is, that the polities of Europe are in • such a state, that all governments are afraid to make decisive , movements. Thus the Eastern question remains, to all appear- ance, just where it was three or four months ago. We hear of alliances between England and France, England and Russia, France and Mgnrestrnr 'Li.

But in,rtcad of important events, which such reports might lead us to expect, the succeeding batch of news is of a pacific character ; and new alli- ances, intrigues, and negotiations, are announced. The Paris papers are still occupied with the marriage-settlements of the Duke nr: Numorus, not yet settled ; while the Moderados of Spain were anticipating a triumphant opening of the Cortes on the 16th instant.
The Lisbon mail, expected with some anxiety, has not yet arrived.
