U a • r FRENCH PAPERS. • Paoli TUC JOURNAL DES IMAM CONSTANTINOPLE, Jute. ILL The Treaty concluded at. London the 6th of Jay, between the Courts of London, Paris, and St. Peters. burgh, for the pacification of Greece, is at present per fectly known to the Porte ; bot it does not, in Conse quence, appear a bit the more to recogitifie its princi ples; and it is even asserted, that as soon as it shall begin to be •put in execution the. Divan will send the Ministers of the three Courts their passport. It is known that the recall of the Ambassadors by their respective Courts was, according to the terms of the protocol of St. Petersburgh, to have taken place on the 4th April, 1826, but England and France had that clause sup-1 pressed. At Smyrna, the Treaty has even caused a greater sensation, and given much uneasiness to the Englibh merchants. M. de Ribeaupierre had asked a conference of the Reis Effendi, relative to the article of the Convention , of Akerm inn, concerning Servia ; but the Reis Effendi intimated his desire that the negotiation should be con ducted through the medium of Dragomans only, pro. bably because M. de Ribeaupierre solemnly protested against the assertion of that Minister, that Russia pro mised at Akermann not to intermesldle in the affairs of Greece. It does not appear that there has been any conference since that time. It is remarked, that a train of artillery has been sent towards the Danube, to put the fortresses in that fron tier in'a better state of defence. The dissolution of .he topchis (artillerymen) wbo, notwithstanding the services they did in the reform, had yet, in their organization, many of the ancient forms and institutions of the cor porations, has cleated a great sensation in the capital.— They are all to be distributed among the other regular troops. An event of another sort does not attract less, attention. The Sultan wished, under pretext of dilapi dations and waste, to take possession of the income of the religious es. ablishments. Bu t t h e Ul emas h av i ng , prevailed upon the Softas loudly to express their dis-, content if the measure, the Sultan has, for the present, left thingt upon their old tooting. It is known, however, that it will not be the less carried into effect at a fa. vourable opportunity. PROM THE QuoTIDIENNE. BARCELONA, Asa. 17. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. According to the lasc dispatches which our Captain General has just received fram the Government, it.ap pears that in a few days several regiments from the in. terior of the kingdom will arrive in this province. ,It is probable that the first that will arrive will be the 6th of the line, which, having some time since left the city of Granada, cannot now be far from Catalonia. The troops lately arrived from the island of Majorca are still at Mauro. General Manso has just arrived at Barcelona. This General, who enjoys great popularity in the coun try, and who is perfectly acquainted with this his native province, will probably be placed at the head of the army of Catalonia, and it is not doubted that he will soon succeed in every where reestablishing order. Ge• neral Carratala, who has under his orders a column of troops, is cantoned at Mataro. It appears that the plan of the Marquis de Campo Sagrado is to wait till all the troops have arrived, in order for them to act simultaneously against the rebels. A detachment of infantry and cavalry, of about forty men, lately had an engagement with the band of Cara. gol, on the road to Yid); some men were killed on both sides. The rebels having committed some excesses in a few villages, many families have abandoned their homes and retired to the strong places. The following were the points occupied by the rebel bands according to the latest intelligence. Gep des Estangs, at Caxde. vanol ; Tilella, at Olot; Caragol, in the environs of Tarrasa ; and Ballaster, in the environs of Blauer. The French General Reject has acquired at Barcelona the esteem and consideration of all honest men. It is to the admirable discipline he has maintained, and to the justice and moderation of his character, that Catalonia owes all that at present remains to it of peace and hap. piness. FROM THE UONITIUR 01 SATURDAY, AUGUST 25. MADRID, Mom t 3. !SWATS CORIMPORDENCE. The state of Catalonia becomes every day more alarming. The insurrection extends its the districts of Gironna, Vich, Olot, Manresa, and part of that of Urgel. When the rebels enter a village or town, some of the Royalist volunteers- join them, and they carry off the arms of those who refuse to become their auxiliaries. Though at present they act only in small detachments, a kind of connexion is observed in their operations. The Gap des Ltangs, otherwise Lieutenant-Colonel Bosom, calls himself Consmandant-ueneral of the Royalist divi sion. He has appointed one Gonzales intendant of his troops; Ire creates Colonels and other Officers; and it is said that he has himself taken the insignia of Captain. General. The insurgents have shewn much resolution in one of the actions that have taken place. In one of their expeditions they made prisoner a Postmaster, whom they at first thought of retaining as a hostage, but they afterwards released him in consideration of his great age. It is reported that the Viscountess de Reiset, returning to France with an escort of 16 gendarmes, met one of these bands, which suffered her to pass un molested. The Government has ordered the Captain General of the Balearic Isles to send to Catalonia a battalion which 'is in garrison in Majorca. Some troops have also marched from Granada, but it is thought they will stop' at Valencia. The Colombian privateers have made some more prizes. A singular scene occurred three days ago. The widows of officers and others had been summoned to the Trea sury to receive a part of the arrears of their pensions,— Jest as the money was going to be paid to them, tte Treasurer received a Royal order, enjoining him to de liver to the bearer all the funds he might have in his bands. He was therefore obliged to dismiss the un fortunate women; and his explanations and promises could not check the tumultuous expressions of the most violent discontent. Awns? 18.—The Gazette of to-day publishes the Royal Decree addressed to the Minister of Grace and Justice, which suppresses the office of Superintendent of the Police._ The decree states, that the police being the most expensive of all the branches of the AdMinis tration, his Majesty thinks fit to incorporate it with the department of Grace and Justice. A second decree of the 14th. published in the Gaelic, regulates the new form of the police. The progress of the insurrection in Catalonia has at length induced the Government to adopt more vigorous measures. Orders base been given to assemble an army of 8,000 men in that province, consisting of militia and troops of the line; in consequence, all the regiments that can be spared have been drawn from the different garrisons and sent to that province. The greatest difficulty is to find funds to meet the expense. of this armament. It is resolved that the army on the Tagus shall remain entire, ip the positions whkfrit nom occupies. LISBON, AUGUST 8. Awful* having formally expressed to nor Govern ment the intention to place Don Miguel at the head of the Regency, the Ministers and Punctionaries met seve ral times to consider what it would be pioper to do. We learn to-day that the project of the Cabinet of Vienna has received their approbation. It has been decided that that Prince should have the right to claim the reins of Government when he has attained his 25th year.

The ci•detnnt King of Sweden, Colonel Gustayson, who has declared that he does not wish to live except under the dominion of the Sultan of Constantinople, has at length received his passports for Turkey, bath from Austria and the Porte. He has not, however, yet quitted his residence, where he lives in a state of extreme seclusion, because he wishes to travel by the way of Vienna and Semlin, whilst his Austrian pass. port prescribes the route of Trieste. PROM TR Z CONSTITUTIONNZU PARIS, Avant 14. The mortal remains of Al. Manuel were this day.de posited in the cernetry de l'Est. The hearse left Mai sons at eight o'clock in the morning, and arrived at noon at the barrier de: Martyns, where it was met by the friends of the deceased. A great number of persons on foot and a great number of private carriages, mingled with mourning carriages, were waiting at the spot. The young people present wished to remove the corpse from the hearse and carry it on their shoulders, which they did for a short time, under the idea that the late Ordinance of the Police was only applicable within the walls; but the civil authority having speedily convinced them Was they' were in error, and the body could,• on no pretest, be carried, they contended that the Ordi nance did not apply to prevent them from dragging the hearse. The horses were unharnessed, and, for about an hour and a half, they dragged it along with the greatest order, and without the slightest accident occurring to impede the progress of the procession. But when they had arrived at the barrier of Belleville, they found another hearse, with four horses, which had been sent there by the Authorities; and a superior Offi cer of Gendarmes made them acquainted with a formal order he had received, to cause the body to be placed in this hearse. MM. Lafitte, Lafayette, and Schonen pronounced discourses over the grave, which were heard with the most profound attention. VIENNA, Amon 14. The last letters from Constantinople, dated July 26, bring no intelligence of importance. The organization and instruction of new troops continues uninterrup tedly. The gun-boats belonging to the arsenal ma nesuvre three times a week before the summer residence of the Sultan, and a complete reform of the artillery corps is said to be in contemplation. A part of this corps is already put in a new uniform, the principal ornament of which is a cap of the shape of a melon. Of the barracks which were ordered to be built last year, two are finished—the great barrack of Saud pacha, and the little one for cavalry on the heights of Dolmagdsche. The building of those at Ramis•pacha, Scutari, and Itchengelkoj, is going on with great acti vity. A new barrack is also being erected in the inte rior of the Seraglio. It is destined for the Bostangis, and is to be finished before the Sultan returns to his winter palace. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LISBON, August 6. THB BULL FIGHTS AT LISBON AND IN TUE COUNTBII-- SUBSECRA, &C. The bull-fights at Lisbon continue every Sunday during the summer months, and are attended by such crowds of eager spectators as shew the very popular nature of the exhibition. Persons who have scarcely the means of buying bread to maintain their families will expend the economical savings of a week to enjoy this appendage to their Sunday devotions. As the bulls ate not so fierce, nor the slaughter so great, as in Spain, the proprietors and director of the Salitre are obliged to vary the amusement with a kind of novelties which would be as misplaced as they are unnecessary, where the Interest of the spectator is rivetted by a continued rtragedy. liy these novelties they keep up the attraction of the show with the expenditure of only two bull's lives a day, and almost no casualties of horses or men. Two of . ''the additions to the amusement of yesterday were v e ry curious. One of them was the entry into the ring, of a man on stilts, three feet high ; and the other, the introduc tion of a puppet-figure, or African idol, to the notice of the bulls. The man of stilts aff“rded great entertain ment. He was dressed like one of the Portuguese capitinas (or what are called in Spain the banderilleros). with the exception of having long white trowsers to cover and conceal the manner in which tee upper end of the stilts were attached to his ancles or le4s. In his left band he held the bandarilla or flag, and in his right a barbed dart, surrounded with a kind of garland, to strike into the neck of the bull. Tnus accoutred, after stalking round the ring, and making his obeisance to the judge and spectators, he waited, like the other capinhas, the egress of the enemy. The animal sprang forward with fury through the door of the arena, galloped round it, dispersing his other antagonists, and then trotted into the middle of the ring to survey this strange congrega ,tion of extremities--this striking collection of legs and arms, with just body enough to stick them into—thil novel heron-formed customer, with whom he had now to contend. He - had, moss likely. been already several times ip the ring, and was acquainted with the common shapes of hi% to-mentors, but he had never seen such a gaunt, stork-like specimen of humanity before. j -le therefore seemed uncertain whether to rush upon it or retreat from it. He stood for some moments, apparently regardless of the numerous other distracting nhjects that •urrounded him, with his e) e intently fixed upon ibis alone, teasing up the sand with hi, feet, foaming at the mouth, and uttering a kind of angry suppressed bellow. The Thing advanced towards him in a menacing atd rude, sir eking its blue flag in his lace, ^ anel pointing its bar! ed dart at his neck. This insult was twice or tt rice repeated with impunity. The enraged animal seemed to pre - er the attack of a knoll n antagonist, and therefore seemed pleased when any of the other capinkas cast* up to - provoke a pursuit, which relieved him from the fascination of this monstrous nondescript. As he trotted round the circle, panting and quivering with fury and indignation, the Thing stalked after him with gigantic strides; as he stopped, the Thing cf. vanced and insulted him. The generous brute could endure it no longer--tie - made a desperate onset upon it, overturned it like a nine pin, and began to gore it with fury when oit the ground. It lay quite motion less (which is the policy on such occasions), till the other flag-bearers came up, and attracting the attention of the bull to another quarter, set the Thing on its legs again. It did not' seem at all injured hi the fall, but sta!ked round the arena as nimbly, and with sir des as large as before. The bull having now learnt that he had to steal with an eattfili s foe, seemed no longer to shun the ccnflict. The Thing advanced with its flag and its dart a dozen of times; and unless it avoided the onset by thrusting the fig in the bull's face, and stepping aside from the range of his horns, was sure to be thrown down to its own great danger, and the ecstatic delight of the spectators. On one occasion the horns of the animal got in between its long legs, and fairly tossed it over his back like a bundle of rags or - a man of straw. After a f w of these somersets the man on stilts retired ; and the bull, having done his duty to the general satis faction. was led off without any further torture than a dart or two stuck in his neck. The other novelty to which I alluded seems to be of A rican origin. Among the mos of the fork Of they are called), or those who, after the hull has been long enough exposed in the combats of the sing. rush in upon him, and master him by main force, are six neg'oes in the peculiar costume of their country. T,:ese artists brought into the Arena the automaton of a girl, dressed in a blue silk gown, with a hideous mask, like that of an American WA, surmounted by a straw bon, et. This little slender American beauty was placed before the door from which the bull was to rusts out. He passed it at a distance, ran round the ring after the capiotios, and then returned to survey it without daring to attack it. The negroes continued to skirmish in the rear of the image, trying to provoke him to pass over it, but he de. elined the invitation, either from respect to the weakness or terror at the hideousness of the infernal damsel. He even kept at a respectful distance, we up the ground with his hoofs, and scattered the sand in the air, panted. foamed, and bellowed, but would not approach. After he had been sufficiently tortured other* ise, he was led out and another bull was admitted, the amphitheatre vociferating a call for the stay of this formidable beauty till her charms were tried upon a second combatant. The latter behaved exactly like the former, refusing to point a horn at the little blue devil, the object of his mercy or of terror. In the course of the evening, the lives of only two bulls were sacrificed with the sword, and both were clumsily dispatched. In one or two instance , amazing boldness and dexterity were shewn by the capinhas and *en of Me fork, one of whom stands before we enraged animal, when bending his neck to make his rush, gets in between his horns, and holding a horn in each hand, or clasping his arms about his neck, clings to the head, while the bull dashes him on the ground or tosses him in the air, as a cruel boy would a rat or a kitten, till his companions come up, surround and master him. A great deal of merriment was ex. cited towards the close of the evening, by one of the bulls leaping over the ring among the .pectators.— This is a rare occurrence, and a en it does happen. always forms an interlude, or hors dceuvre, rni), e amus ing than the rest of the entertainment. Happily, on this occasion, no person was hurt, though, of course, many were alarmed. Tire passionate fondness of the people for this cruel sport is not confined to Lisbon. Many cif the smaller t•wns have the bull-fights on anniversaries and fes. rive occasions. The noted Conde de Subserra, wish. ing lately to render himself popular wi,h the peasantry in the neighbourhood of his quints (near Villa Francs), could think of no means so successful as a gratis bull•fight. lie therefore advertised one, procured bolls, and engaged capinhas, matadors, and other actors. The appointed day, arrived, the peasantry assembled, the bulls were in readiness, but, to the surprise of the Count, and the indignant disappointment of the multitude, none of the biped performers appeared. The Conde de C—, the Count's rival, had heard of the dead-.et which Sub. terra was making at p o p u l ar i ty , an d maliciously bribed the bull fighters to keep away. It must be admitted, however, that bull-fighting isnot now so popular as it once must have been with the upper ranks of society, and with the fair sex. Formerly, as we are told by an old Portuguese writer, " if a foreigner wanted to see the Poi tugueseLadies decked out in all their jewels and finery, he had only to go to a bull-fight." At present, though weirsametimes see an old Lady enjoying the sport through her spectacles, and a young one through her veil, the number of females in the better classes who attend is extremely limited. It was fors , merly the custom for amateur performers among the Nobility to enter the ring —but for several years past I believe no example of this kind has occurred. As the people acquire the means of enjoying more .ratilnal entertainment, the rage. for this sport, like every other relic of barbarism, may be expected to dimin: 4... :4 k
