Paris Nov. 13 —It is said this morning that Marshal Gerard retires and General Clansel is generally spoken of as his successor. Some persons, however, think he will be succeeded by Geu. Lumarque, who had a private audi ence of bis Majesty. The retirement of the Marshal was not from any political cause, it is well known that Marshal Gerard has suffered from a wound in his right eye, and that in con sequence of that wound the Marshal was dan gerously ill last year It seems that the labo rious duties which he has to perform have caused a return of the disorder, and it is to -remedy it that he has resolved to quit the post in which the King’s confidence had placed him —La Nouvelle France Toulon Nov. 13—The Bey of Tunis has sent an Ambassador to France, who has arrived at Marseilles.

A passenger in the former vessel declare? himself to have seen a strip from the office of the London Courier of tbe former date containing a declaration of war against France on the part of Russia. This intelligence is supported by the context of circumstances: all indicating tbe approach, if not actual existence, of war between these gigantic powers Tiie German papets state.that a Russian army to the number of 200,000 men, divided into sevpn corps, with 400 pieces of cannon, is assembling on the frontier. The French are not .idle; a large army will soon be ready for the field, and the. first hostile demonstra lion aga ust Belgium will be the signal for p uring masses of enthusiastic Frenchmen in to Italy ami over-running Austria. The com mand of the Russian army is entrusted to Count Diebitscb, an officer who displayed gr-?*t judgement in the war with the Turk?, but w; o would he overmatched by any one oi buttd’ eds of the old French army. Private letters of tho£Slb from Farit an-, It does not in the least appear to ds impossible that commercial treaties might be Qijple be- tweeti tbe two countries, and favorable to both. When once France shall have renoun ced the too violent democratical tendency of her first revolution, and shall have abandoned all idea of the unlimited and mad conquest ot her imperial eagles, then the course ot events would point out such an alliance as the most natural and the most politic proceeding. In the meantime our Government is displaying the most laudable ac'ivity to be in complete readiness for any movement from the Cossack quarter. Marshal Soutt labors day and night. We expect in January. 1831, independently of thq great force of National Guards, every where armed and equipped, to have a regular army of300,000 men on our frontiers. But ij is impossible to torste what numbers ao ap peal from the Crown would muster in an in stant. Our internal state is pretty quiet now The trial of Ministers is almost forgotten in preparation for national defence. The Hirberma bring:- papers, containing the following passages from the French Journal,-, of latest date They support the favor of the intelligence already given above. The Soit/fleur steamboat is gone suddenly to Algiers, it is said to carry important des patches to General ClauseL Madame Clause! is • xpected here, going to join the General a Algiers. Yesterday there was a loog discussion in the Council on the subject winch engages all mind 'd present—war If our information be cor reel, Marshal Souh ilem. ruled with much earn- estn»*ss, that the means should t»e given loin of putting the army and all fortified places on a respectable footing; and toe tnswer which he Constantly received was, that money »* wanting—that the treasury is exhausted- and cannot undertake extraordinary expenses. I is -aid that one Minister, who is a general, ui - jderipok to prove, with the map in his hand, and all the Northern frontier of France, ap-[by political and military reasons, that Europe has neither the power nor the wdi to make war, and his assertions obtained general ap probation. In fact, when there i?> no will to French Government in preparations lor war.— How far tbe apprehension of such a step on the part of Russia and her Allies is justified by authentic information is not stated. In tbe de partment of war, particularly the greatest ac tivity prevailed. Marshal Soult was at his of fice as early as 4 o’clock every morning. Tbe Paris Times of the 27th states, as a re port, that Marshal Gerard was about to setooi on a tour of the Northern frontiers, to inspect the fortresses; and that Gen. Harispe is chart ged with a similar mill'ary inspection along the Southern frontiers. Iu addition to these facts, going to support the inferences already drawn of a great rupture at hand, we find that large levies have been made in Russia for extra purposes. Marshal Count Diebitsch, so distinguished in the late war with Turkey, is about to review the troops on the frontiers of Russia, and to regulate their destination in the interior. He will then return to Berlin, where he has been appointed to an extraordinary mission The number of troops to be collected on the frontiers will a mount to 200 000, with 400 pieces of cannon. There will be seven divisions of the army, in eluding the Polonaise. The organization of «o large a force is a circumstance of a serious description. The entire of the Russian army is in motion in the interior, and occupies the cantonments and garrisons which have been evacuated by the troops sent to the frontiers. It this army should enter into a campaign, if will be placed under his command The opi nion entertained is, that (he movement on the part of Russia, taken m connection, with the active attitude of both nations, is the conse quence of a concerted arrangement between the Cabinets of St. Potersburgh and Berlin. We make extracts on this sut ject to the ex tent of the intcdligence afforded us by these papers. Parts, Nov. 27 —The news from Belgium f I pear to have at length roused the French Go- vernment.

However in several of our best informed political circles there is still a doubt that a ge neral war will take place; those who frequent them humbly conceive that even in the deli cate affair of Belgium, there does not appeal the slightest ground for a foreign interference. Russia has from the first manifested very little spmpathy, to say the least, for the new order 01 things in France.
