~,,~„ 1 • r-~-- FRENCH PAPERS. . From the Journal des Debols of Monday. What a singular campaign is that of this year of Lord Welling ton ; and how paltry dues his diplomatic science (strategic) appear in the face of the prodigious events which display themselves in the Fast ! Whilst Russia enfolds with her two arms European Turkey al Asia Minor, and its two armies, marching towards each other, draw close the net which is to fall upon Constantinople, Lord Wel lington has put in motion a detachment of five men, including the I•rench Ambassador, who hive by surprise taken possession of the French Ministry, in a moment of Court intrigue and Parliamen tary inactivity. Well, behold them established ; they have made their entry, and hissing. and public ridicule have not been wanting to mark t , eir triumphal march. What will they be able to do in the principal object which has caused them to be chosen ? Will they stop General Diebit.cb, who travels more rapidly than their couriers? Will they send, under English orders, a French fleet to the Bosphorus to protect Constantinople, whilst still :Muss • :Oman, or to bombard it when it is become Christian ? Alas ! • he.e are poor creatures for such efforts. The accession of these nest was the tardy signal of a sterile hatred towards Russia. In :t is respect, however, was there ever seen greater want of political ,Idress? The last Ministry, the incomplete but natural result of Representative Government, had adopted the Muscovite alliance. It kit that France ought to ally itself to Russia, as England does to Austria. It was not terrified at seeing Resole turn from our West, and incline towards Ada. It judged correctly that this tendency of he people of the North towards the South would end in a Russian invasion of Turkey, without producing any danger to the freedom of Europe. In the probable overthrow of the Ottoman Power, it foresaw for France other interests than those of England ; and with a Lille more strength, it could put itself in the way of claiming just advantages at die decisive moment. At the solicitation of Russia, and barely tolerated with anger by England, it sent an expedition to the Mores. During the indecision and the partial successes of the first campaign on the Danube it continued to adhere to the lt•tssian policy, although it was attacked daily by the organs of the English Ministry. The retreat of M. de la Ferronays had in this respect weakened our Cabinet without changing its direce • ion. In the meantime, a second campaign commenced in the Past ; the Turkish empire, wh eh had resisted at first, is now at he last gasp of its energy. The conquerors have nothing to do ant to march forward; the rich plains of Adrianople are open to their army. The empire is about to be dissolved by revolt and conquest. Greece gave the signal—Russia will complete the work. Such is the moment chosen by the French Cabinet to secede from the Russian cause, for which France had prepared success, end to associate itself with the useless discontent of England. The time of diplomatic notes is now past. We must have more now— lsrge Beets and armies; and all this without being able to restore .oche Turkish empire the force which it had in the days of Soli man the Second—that which England, notwithstanding an impe rious necessity of policy and honour, dare not attempt, and which we are still less able than she to undertake, whilst it is also opposed to our interest, would be necessary—a terrible and bloody war against Russia. From the Gazette de France of Thursday. " The present Ministry, says the Journal des Debuts of this morning, must contend against public opinion, and it must also contend against the Chamber, for it will not dare to dissolve it." This is what all the hopes of those who say that a Royalist Mi nistry will not last are founded upon; but we must reduce these hopes and bravadoes to their just value. The Ministry 11.14 slot to contend against opinion, but against journalism, which has succeeded in creating a fictitious opinion in France, but which is not itself the opinion of France. We must balieve that France will not condemn a Ministry without trial ; the waits kir its acts, and its acts will be the condemnation of its turbulent accusers. An opinion pronounced against Ministers, for the sole reason that they were chosen by the King without the con sent of the journalists, would be a faction, and the contest which would arise between it and the Ministry would not last lung in a country which does not desire a revolution. It is equally incorrect to say that the Ministry will have to con tend against the Chamber. No doubt it will find violent adversaries there ; for, unfortunately, it contains men who write in the Jour r als the extravagancks which they repeat in the tribune. A Royalist Ministry must expect to find enemies wherever the Republic has partizans, and wherever there are conspirators against the mo narchy; but from this we must not imagine that the Ministers named by the King would not be in their proper places when sit ting in the Chamber ; on the contrary, the republicans, the conspira tors, and the anarchist tribunes, are out of their element when sit ting in a French assembly. It these Ministers have adversaries, they will also have sincere friends and defenders. All those who desire the maintenance of the Constitutional Monarchy will know how to answer the noble appeal which will be made to them; and we are glad to be able to tell the Journal des Debats, that the men who, its the secret scrutiny, voted hi a manner opposed to their open de clarations, will see in the Ministers liberators, who, so far from trembling before the mountain of the left, will know how to oppose its enterprizes, and to watch over its plots. Already several of those honourable Deputies who do not themselves belong to the Journalist party, have openly said that they are ready to support the Ministry, If they see it realize the monarchical and constitu tional intentions of which our paper has been the interpreter. As to the threat held out to the Ministry about the dissolu tion of the Chamber. it proves that the faction believes it has conaununated the slavery of the electoral colleges, and that it has succeeded in depriving Royalty of the exercise of one of its most important prerogatives. This threat alone would suffice to show us how much the Constitution was menaced by the con cessions which have been suede, and the encroachments of a secret poirer. We see, also, in this belief of the Liberals the secret of the arrogance and fury which burst from the liurnala when the King took the liberty of disappointing them. They think them selves masters of the last resource of power—the nomination of the Deputies, and consequently of the vote of the taxes. But this is one of those blind presumptions which the general interest will disappoint. It will teach the factions that they cannot juggle with monarchy—that all petty intrigues and all political fictions may produce disorder if they have to do with Ministers who are weak and have no foresight, but the conquests obtained by cunning, and posts surprised by hypocrisy and deceit, cannot be preserved when France and her king have recognised their real enemies. The Memorial des Pyrenees of the 20th of August, says that M. de Chateaubriand arrived the day previous at Pau. He visited a part of the town, and viewed the chateau of Henry the Fourth. At nine o'clock the Noble Peer was surrounded by the musicians at the town. M. de Chateaubriand appeared at one of the windows to return an answer, and was received with the greatest oedema tioos ; be then addressed the following words to them : '• Gentlemen—l am extremely sensible of the honour you have d,.ne me. I only acknowledge the merit of loving my country.— It is natural that the town where Henry the Fourth was born should be good enough to remember niy devotion to the descendants of that illustrious King." The Noble Peer conversed with several persons in the most affable manner ; and having occasion to speak of one of our com panion', hi. de Belloc, Secretary to the Legation at Rome, said he was a very distinguished person. l'he Indicate:kr de Dordeaur, of the £2d of' August, says—" It ap. pears that some important news was sent by the telegraph yester day, but the Pi esident was in the country, and the greatest auziety was manifested to inform him of the subject. We are ignorant tat the contents." By an Ordonnance, dated August £3, the Viscount de Curzay, Prefect of the Department of Ille-et- Vilaine, is appointed Prefect of the Department of 1.3 Gironde, in the room of the Baron d' Hausser, appointed to execute other functions. By another Ordonnance, of the 24th, M. Jordan, Prefect of the Department of the Dam Ithia, is appointed Prefect ot the Depart ment of Vilaine, in the Room of the Viscount de Curzay. M. Baron Locard, turrnerly Pretect, Master of Requests in our Council of State, is appointed Pretect of the Department of Haut lihin, in the room of M. Jordan. Yesterday the Minister of Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs received the Members of the various Establishments for Public Instruction of the Academy of Paris, and his Excellency assured the Functionaries and Professors of the liniveraity of the lively interest he felt toward: them. He also expressed the wish Le felt to contribute to the pros:tax of their studies, to the good instruction of youth, and the welfare of the l'rofessors. From the Message,. des Chumbres of Wednesday. M. Deval, our Consul at Algiers, in whose person France was insulted by the Dcy, has just died very suddenly. He was struck with a violent attack of apoplexy, just as he was about to enter has carriage at Villiers le Bel to return to Paris, and all the efforts of art were unavailing. He hash been dining at the country-house of M. Martel, the Judge of the Tribunal of First Instance, and had just left it. M. Deval was seventy-two years old. 111. dllaussts wrote to 31. Roy just before be was appointed Miuister of Marine, " that he congratulated himself at not form ing part of the new Ministry, whose unpopularity appeared to him so great that be doubted its duration." Al. Roy showed the letter to several persons when the report of the sominatiou of bl. d' Haussez was circulated. We this morning received the Gazette tt Etat de Prune of the 20th, and that of Augsburg of the 22d, but they contain no news lions Constantinople or from the Russian army. The new Cabinet regards the re-establishment of the Illinhts7 of General Pollee as necessary, and this place is promised to 31. de Vitrollts, but the measure will net be carried into execution immediately.

Imperial Ditto Natiunal Phenix LANDING AND BATTLE AT TERCEIRA, AND TOTAL DEFEAT or DON MIGUEL'S EXPEDITION. This day, at one o'clock, an express reached the North and South American Coffee-house, bringing the following most important intelligence : •' EXETER, Amiss 28. " The Chevalier Don ANTONIO DE MELLO, Aide-de camp to General VILLA FLott, Governor of Terceira, arrived in this city early this morning, from whence he proceeded immediately to Portsmouth with dis patches for the Marquis de PALst ELLA, announcing the complete defeat of the army of Don MIGUEL, who landed at Terceira on the 11th instant. The invading army lost TWELVE HUNDRED MEN in killed, wounded, and prisoners ; amongst the killed, is the General second in command of the Miguelite army." In addition to the above, we have it in our power to communicate the following authentic details of this in teresting and glorious event : Ou the morning of the 11th instant, the first division of the Miguelite expedition—fourteen hundred strong— effected its landing at Villa de Praya. It was opposed, at the first moment, by the Volunteers ; the Condo Vf LLA FLo R coming up almost immediately afterwards, with the sth Cavadores, and the Provisional Battalion. The whole division was destroyed; five hundred and seventy men laying down their arms as prisoners of war, and . the remainder covering the field of battle. The loss on the part of the loyal troops was three officers, nine rank and file, killed ; and twenty-five, wounded. It appears that this ill-fated division was com . posed of many of the troops that served in the Oporto army : they have joined already the standard of the QUEEN, and have received arms. The number of killed and wounded on board the fleet must be considerable, as the fire front the batteries was constantly kept up, • and the vessels—after having sustained great damage —were obliged to cut their cables. Twelve hun dred muskets, two twenty-four pounders, and two gun boats remain in possession of the Conde do VILLA FLOR. Among the killed in the Miguelite army, are Colonels Az Do, and Don GIL AN NEs DA COSTA, brother of the Conde DE MEsQUIToLLO, and Don ANTONIO DA v E I RA, a Nobleman of high consideration. These Officers harangued their soldiers before landing, and in speeches of great violence forbade them to give any quarter to the brave defenders of Terceira. The Miguelite Celonel, commanding the Ist Cacadores, was wounded, and re ceived most kind assistance from VILLA FLUit. Colonel Do rTEI. is likewise among the prisoners. A remarkable feature in this transaction is the confidence entertained by Don MIG uEL of an easy victory, and the use he intended to make of his successes: for he sent over a commission of Judges, picked from the most sanguinary spirits in Portugal, with strict orders to try VILLA FLoR for high treason, and execute hint on the field of battle, and every soldier with him, who might survive the honourable struggle. The intelligence of the events at Terceira was brought to England by Captain TIIORNTON, and the Chevalier ANTONIO DE M tum—attached to her Most Faithful Majesty's Embassy in London—who sailed from Angry on the 17th instant, and have arrived in this coun try just time enough to convey to Donna MARIA —before she sails—the news of this glorious victory achieved by her Ain JEsTY's arms. It is the best answer which the brave Conde de VILLA FLOP. could give to the heartless articles which have appeared lately in the Courier, and a Morning Paper once the advocate of better things. PROCLAMATION of the Count of VILLA FLOR, AFTER THE DEFEAT OF MIGUEL'S EXPEDITION. When the Usurper's squadron, breathing blood and vengeance, appeared to threaten your island, I recom mended to you to preserve order and have confidence in me, and in the loyal garrison that defends you ; and I promised the chastisement of the enemies of the legitimate Throne and the liberty of the country, if they dared to attack this glorious bulwark of fidelity.—Loyal inhabitants of this island, you have seen that I have faithfully fulfilled my promise, through the means of the unshaken valour of the troops that I have the honour to command. The enemy, who wished to inundate your country with your blood, have left the beach covered with their dead —tho sanguinary orders that they brought against your' garrison and the faithful people of this island—Pao- InExcs, (which has defeated, and will continue to defeat the efforts of criminality,) has in this in stance made to recoil on their authors. More than half their troops have perished by our fire, been drowned in the surf, or have received from their conquerors that treatment which humanity and religion dictate, but . which the orders of the Tyrant had prohibited them from giving to the defenders of this island, or to you, in habitants of it, if we had been conquered. If, after this destructive experiment, they shall dare to return to these shores, I promise you anew, and experi ence has shown you the value of my promises, that their ruin shall be complete. People of Terceira, Inhabitants of this illustrious bul wark of fidelity, honour, and constancy !—Continue to live in the fullest tranquillity, co-operate with the heroes that defend you, in order to put these shores in a state to render abortive every effort of our adversaries, and your island will have the glory of restoring the Throne of our beloved QUEEN, and of re-establishing the Portu guese name, and prove the centre from which shall spread liberty and Prosperity to the Portuguese Nation.

The Courier of yesterday publishes a document, pur porting to be a " Memorial of British subjects holding Portuguese bonds"—now actually in a course of signa ture—and addressed to the King's Government. After giving the history of the origin of these Bonds, by a Por tuguese Loan contracted in London in 1823, and of their transfer by Treaty to Brazil in 1825, the Memorial pro ceeds to develope the circumstances under which—after paying the interest of the said Loan for two years, and otherwise fulfilling the stipulations of the before-men tioned Treaty—payment of these Brazilian dividends was •suddenly suspended in 1828 by Viscount ITs Bs YANA, in consequence of the events at Lisbon. The Memorial here comments, in not very measured language, upon the bad faith of the transaction ; adding that the Bone holders would not have submitted so long, nor so pa tiently, to a' suspension which has already lasted fifteen months, except on the consideration that " so deep a stain on the character and public credit of a nation could not long be suffered to exist :" and the paper concludes, by pniying the immediate intervention of Government in such a manner" as in its wisdom and discretion it may deem fit," for securing effectual redress to the Memorial ists. The case, as it is stated in that document by the Bondholders, is unquestionably one of great hardship to them ; for, as they properly observe, they lent their Mo ney to the Portuguese Nation, and they hac.• no concern with any dispute between it and Brazil. We hope, in a few days, to say something satisfactory on the subject of these Bonds. In the mean time, we beg to guard our readers against any misconception of the. facts, into which they might otherwise be betrayed by the gloss of the Coarkr, whose insinuations against the Marquises DE BARBACENA and PA LMELLA do not rer.l. even upon a shadow of authority. A gentleman on 'Change informs us that the defeat of Mic u El.'s expedition against Terceira, has excited the liveliest feelings of satisfaction among our citizens. We have just seen a short letter brought by the latest arrival from the East, and written by a gentleman ac companying the Embusy. It speaks in very decided terms of the hopelessness of any successful resistance to the victorious Russians ; alludes to the discovery of some plot or intrigue at Constantinople to deliver that city into their hands ; and communicates a piece of intelligence of much more interest--namely, that the Ambassadors of Eng land and France have come to a determination to address themselves directly to the Commander-in-Chief of the invading army, to request at least a temporary suspen sion of his advance, in consideration of the devastation and outrage which must inevitably result from it. The letter adds, that this remonstrance will probably be seconded by all, or at least the great majority, of the Representatives of the Europeah Powers at the Porte. The letter is apparently written in a hurry, and at the moment of closing the dispatches which it accompanied. —Morning Paper, SHORT STAGES TO THE ENVIRO.VS OF LOND011: retain the Russian Embassy, it will be given to Count Gabriae, the nephew of Prince Polignac by his wife, who was born in Russia, and was named Davidoff. VIENNA, AUG. 16. The French Ambassador has received dispatches by an extraor dinary courier, which are thought to be important, as he went to Prince Metteniich's in a few minutes afterward:. A report was immediately circulated that France had suddenly changed its Minis try, and that the choice of the new Cabinet was entirely favourable to the policy of M. de Metternich. Nothing positive is yet known. The English Ambassador receives dispatches every day, and every day also be sends a courier is Constantinople and London. There is certainly some great project on the topic. A curious report, or rather a piece of news, is secretly circu lated in the diplomatic saloons—that there Las been a complete tack-about in the policy of our Cabinet. The Prince de Metter nich, it is said, is discontented with the Duke of Wellington, and at present inclines towards Russia. The late success of the Rus sians is not the only cause of this change. It is said that the Prince has discovered an intrigue, conducted by an English Ambassador, and tending to bring about a double alliance—one, in the case that Austria should consent to declare against Russia, and the other in the event that ibis Power should desire to preserve neutrality, or should show herself favourable to the Russians. This duplicity has irritated Prince Metternich, the more particularly as the Duke of Wellington, having considered that Austria was suf ficiently powerful, the two projects were arranged so as to deceive Austria in its hopes of obtaining an indemnity when the time should arrive for regulating and fixing the new bases of the equi librium of European policy. These revelations were made by a confident of the Cabinet of St James, who is said to he either a Swede or a Prussian. By various insinuations the Duke of Wellington has endeavoured to establish a preponderance in France, to the exclusion of every other Power. It is said also that the Cabinet of St. James was in triguing at the same time at Stockholm, Brussels, Turin, and Naples, and that it was every where making propositions without the knowledge of Austria, as having nothing to do with the present question. The Prince de Metternich, when informed of these pro ceedings, said, " Oh! the pupil wishes to catch his master ; we shall see who will have the last laugh."

It is a fact well known to the Ornithologist, that the male and female of many different species of Birds alternately relieve each other on the nest during the progress of incubation : but we believe an instance similar to the following, with birds of a different species, to be of very rare occurrence, either in the wild or domesticated state t A Lady, in the neighbourhood of Ball's Pond, who retains the antiquated virtue (exploded by all modern fine Ladies) of superintending the breeding and rearing of domestic poultry, about three months ago set a turkey hen and a common ben of the game species in one of the outbuildings, each upon a cer tain number of her own eggs. The nests of the two birds were placed at a considerable distance from each other, and were sepa. rated by a boarding upwards of two feet high : nevertheless, the turkey, by some means, contrived to remove all the eggs from the nest of the common heti, and deposited them in her own. During the whole of the day, after this act of robbery was committed by the turkey, the common hen manifested the greatest impatience and dissatisfaction at so strong a development of the bump of an peepriariseness in the bead of the turkey; and although she ap peared inconsolable at being deprived of all hope of a future progeny, she did not seem disposed to submit calmly to the act of spoliation, but Went repeatedly up to the nest of the plunderer In a threatening attitude, and boldly challenged her to battle. —The turkey, however,' evinced no pugnacious disposition to meet the assailant in the open field, but kept fast to her nest, and evidently manifested an inclination to enter into treaty; and a'though we have nut metaphysical acumen enough to explain the nature of the association of ideas, or the mode of their communi cation between the belligerents, the pacific intentions of the turkey eventually prevailed, and a perfect reconciliation was the conse quence : for next morning the two were found seated in the same nest. with the head of the common hen projecting from under the wing of the turkey, which appeared to be spread Gut with the greatest complacency for its accommodation. In this manner the two went on harmoniously together, evincing the strongest solici tude to promote each other's comfort ; and when the one left the nest for a few minutes to feed, the other remained in its place until it returned, when they invariably resumed the same position. As it is well known that the eggs of the turkey require about nine days longer to complete the process of incubation than those of the common hen, a good deal of curiosity was excited to see the effect produced by the appearance of the young brood of chickens, and if any dispute or disagreement would arise in claiming pro- pinquity. When that event occurred, however, the common hen walked away with her own brood in the usual manner, leaving the turkey on the nest to complete the incubation of her's without the least disturbance, which she afterwards accomplAed ; and they together superintended the education of their respective families, • little mogul/ion of each other as they were unconscious of the nature of the geometrical ratios of dlr. Nlatnics, or the evih of a redundant population. M. In the City it is still believed,---or rather hoped for--- that the English, French, Prussian, and Aust in Ambas sadors will interfere, and prevent the destruction of Con stantinople.
