We received last night the Paris Papers of Saturday, fromwhich we have given extracts in another column.

The Journal des Debats has copied from the Revue Protes-tante an interesting letter from Humboldt, the celebrated tra-veller, to M. Ch. Coquerel, Pastor, at Amsterdam, on theproportion which the Catholics and Protestants of Americabear to each other, on the different races in America, and thelanguages spoken in that continent. The details are to be givenin the third volume of his Travels to the Equinoctial Regions, which is about to appear.

The following are a few of his statements:—
