FRENCH PAPERS. TROM THE serene Di 6 Fawkes, DATILD NOY. 17. PARIS, NOVEMER 16. A telegraphic dispatch from Toulon announces than m ;be 14th the Provence was in sight, and doubtle:s meted the hasbour on that day. It brings the reports of Admiral de Rigny on the details of the brilliant affair at Navarin, in which the French squadron bore so glo rious* part, the Admiral's first letter having given only the priwcipal results. • :Au THE MONITIWIt OF FATtlittiAlr, NOV. 17. TRIESTE, Nov. s. By destroying the Turkish and Egyptian fleet, the Allied Squadrons of the three Powers have made a great step towards the pacification of Greece, and this event will excite a lively sensation in Europe. • The Divan must now' perceive that it can no longer reckon on tee divisions of the Allies, and• that the only means it has to preserve, the hope of continuing to vegetate in Europe, if it will not have recourse to heroic measures, is to ratify the couvention of the 6th of July. The motives which may have induced France and England to act with so much precipitation, require to be cleared op. Explanations respecting this event are impatiently expected. All eh es are now turned towards Constanti nople, to learn the effects of a dreadful combat which deprives the Ottoman E•npire, the Mussulman•, and their Sultan, of a most.powerful meths of defence. It is to be presumed that a division of the combined squadron will appear before the Dardanelles. It is unfortunate that the Pacha of Egypt did not profit by the advice given him by the English agents, not to risk his fleet. After spending, within these five years, some hundred millions of piastres on distant expeditions, Lis eyes must now be opened, especially when he finds tint he does not enjoy the independence which had been promised him, but which superior political considera tini.s hinder from being given to him. YROM THEZONSTITUTIONNEL. PARIS, N0v.16. • The circumstances of that remarkable day (the bat- Ile of Navarin) are trot exactly known—the report of the Russian Admiral is not yet published. The Eng lilt Go►ernment inserted in the Uozette the dispatch of Admiral CODRINGTGN. The account printed in the Moniteur, by order of the Erench Government, is not signed by Admiral limey, and there is so much the tame reason for believing that it has undergone some rnotlifieation, that the immortal battle of Navarin is there represented as accidental. To say that such ai rangetz.ents were not at all hostile, that they could be, carted into effect without effusion of blood, requires all the assurance of a diplomatist; military bravery 11 171 s at no such credit. Admiral CODRINGTON avows, Kith a sailor's frankness, that the measures which led to battle were absolutely necessary to obtain the ilts contemplated by the treaty; and that he felt a )1e desire to ponill the Ottoman faithlessness. But distinction between the French and English reports lies less in tie differences which we re just noticed, than in the circumstances which crompanied their publication. At London the dispatches of Admiral Codrington were inserted in the fraordixarg Gazette of Nov. 10, and the next day : one the Papers announced, that his Britannic NI i• ty, with a promptitude which demonstrated hi, just )rec:ation of the bravery and ability of his officers, nominated Sir Edward Codringtoo a Grand Cross the Order of the Bath, and all the Captains and •uarmauders Companions of the same Order; and that every officer who had taken any share in theiction should he promoted. Since the 10 hof November, the share which our sailors have had in the destruction of the Turco-Egyptian fleet, although well knowr, has been decreed no tecompence: and it is from the hands of strangers that they. receive the first marks of their glory ! We know not if M. de Riguy will be ritade Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, but we have at least the assurance that he is Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. M. de Villele knows how to create half a dozen of Pe.qs,but he knows nothing of the composi tion of a Vice-Admiral. He knows how to compen sate sete:ces rendered to him personally; his ideas are not so well defined, or his feelings are less acute, on the sot ject of services rendered to the stave and to Christendom. Glory is less familiar. than finarce to him; it embarrasses and-teases him. He knows cot what to make of it, andis fain to send it to the East, and to make his excuses, on account of is, to his friend the P. cha of Egypt. ir ROM THE SOUR A L IMMAT.4. I*ii It t ?toe. le. Words fail us to express the indignation we feel on le tilting that obr brave sailors are already recompensed in London for the affais of Navarin, and that our Mi. nisiets intsre not even thought of publishing the grati• tude of the country. Can it be that they date not make the , nvelves the ihterpreteis of 'public opinion? Sach humility would suit them; but no, what the Opposition cry is true. Negneations have been carried on—battles have beers oined—triumphs have been won...in spite of them. The name of M. de Rigny is pethapsalready ia I lenryVlL's Chapel inWestminster Abbey. by the side of Nel , .on and Cedrington; and the' ench.tlifortitersr has as yet given to it no place but at the foot of a of killed and wounded at Navaria.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LIMN, NOV 5.1827. " The Auti-Constitutionalists, seeing that Don Mi guel is not likely to answer their expectations are now about to proclaim rt . Don Sebastian, a son of the late Infant of Spain by a Portuguese Princess, at present in Madrid, as ra-fit person, being a child, for their purposes. His claim to the Crown of Portugal is, however, very remote ; and, •therefore, if this Mad scheme should by any possibility succeed, they expect is find in him a fit tool as ' Absolute King.' He may find numerous supporters among the lower orders of the Portuguese, for there is a tradition, implicitly relied on by them, that Don Sebastian will one day re turn to them: This Don Sebastian was King of Portugal, and in 1578 led a powerful army into Africa on a rooti.h expedition against the Moors; ile was kil'esi in crossing a :jeer, and his army annhilated. A ship. which arrived on Thursday last from Rio has brought dispatches front the Emperor to the GIN viern went. These dispatches are all addressed to Sa,- tiAlllid, as Minister of War. According to report, they speak highly of his services, and intimate to Don Miguel that he must still be retained in the Ministry ; as a reward for his services, he is invested with the title of Count Saldaitha ; the Count de V. 11.4 Flor is created a Marquis; and the Marquis Pahl-141i is mad_ Prime Minister—but this lait part is not believed by many. By the general tenour of the letters, it would appear that the Emperor expects that Don Migues is already in this country. The quarterly inspection of the English troops is now going on. The ',ulcer, have, for the la,t week, been hard at it at Loos. C I. Wynd ham, Commandant of the Cavalry Brigade, has ex pressed himself greatly pleased with the high state of ,discipline of both Olß•era and men, the former of .whom went through the, pike exercise, it possible 'with greater precision than the men. The Wand 65, Regiments are stated to be on the point of having this for Malta and Gibraltar. One of the reports in circulatiou is, that the army here is to be increased to 7,000 men, and is to remain here, as an army of occu pation, for three years. The steam boat arrived here on Toursday lair, alter a passage of 18 days from London, and after many hair.biead.h ':.capes fr(,m shipwreck, in the dreadful gales which s! e enconnterep on her way. She put into Corunna, where she remained two days, and from whence she arrived at Lisbon in 40 hours. An English sloop of war arrived yesterday, in six d.iy s hem Plymouth, with dispatches."

The people know their rights, they know also that the appearance of the Spanlatd is a curse to the American. Although the country is not now abundant, we shall not fail of assistance from the nations allied to us, and from those by whom we have been recognized. This expectation we can now confidently cherish, when we find England refusing any assistance to Spain in this very Expedi tion ; for a Proclamation has been published in Gibral tar, imposing very severe penaltks. on the Owners or Captains of British vessels, ailing troops or warlike stores. tot thitik our posit could not be more fa- 1 iourable than it is, for it, at the period referred :ill° obtained some advantages, we know that-in the end he was obliged to go back whence he came, after manuring the fields of the Republic with the dead too • ies of his troops, and leaving buried in them his whole Expedition, with the exception of 400 men of ilk regi ment of Leon, which capitulated at this &sit.

We are surprised beyond measure to find, that while Charles X recognised the South American States, his suisisin,,the King of Spain, is levying troops to subjugate us.

BUNItILL FIELDS BURYING GR/UND.--This exten sive burial place is part of the manor of Finsbury, or Fembury, which is of great antiquity, as appeals by its being a prebend of, St. Paul's Calhedral in 1104. In the year 1315, it wai granted I.y Robert de Baldock to the mayor and commonalty of London. Part of it was, in 1498; converted into a large fi:ld for the we of archers and other military citizens to exercise in. This is now called the Artillery Ground. In the year 1665 that part of the ground now called Bunhill (originally Bonhill) Field was set apart as a common cemetery, for the interment of such bodies as could not have room in their parochial burial grounds in that dreadful year of pestilence. However, not being made use of on that occa sion, a Mr. Tindal took a lease thereof, and converted l it into a burial place fur the use of Dissenters. It was long called Tindal's Burial place. Over the we t gate of it was the foliowing inscription:—" This churchyard was inclosed with a brick wall at the sole charges of the city of London, in the mayoralty of Sir John Lawrence., Kot. Anno Domini 1663; and afterwards the gates thereof were built and finished in the mayoralty of S'r Thomas Bloud worth, Knt. Anno Domini 1666." The fel or m-)or (in this neighbourhood), from whence the name Mool6elds, reached from London-wall to Holton ; the southern part of it, denominated Wind mill Hill, began to be raised by above one thousand cart loads of hum-in bones, brought from St. Paul's chat nel-hou-e in 1549, which being soon after covered with street dirt from the city, the ground became so elevated that three windmills were erected on it ; and the ground on the south side being also much raised, it Obtained the name of the Upper Moorfield. iVe have been favoured with a view of the two large stained glass windows now being executed by order of. the Count of Directors of the Hon.

PROM Tug CLAIIENDON PAPBRS. In the year 1734, I was in company, with Colonel Scott, at B ulogne-sur-filer, in France,w.lien the Colonel called me to him, and said, 4 , Mr. Browdler, you are a young min and I am an old one, I will tell you some. thing worth remembering. When the Duke of Mon mouth was in the Tower, under sentence of death, I had the command of the guard there, and one morning the Duke desired me to let him have pen, ink, and paper, for he wanted to write to the King. He wrote a very long letter, and when he had sealed it, he desired she, to give him my word of honour that I would carry that letter to the King, and deliver it into no hands but his. I told him Lwould most willingly do it if it was in my power, but that my orders sA ere not to stir from him till his execution, and, therefore, dared not leave the . Tower. At ►his he expressed great uneasiness, saying, he could have depended on my honour; but at length ' ked me if there was any officer in that place en whose • fidelity I could rely. I told him ;hat Capt. was one on whom I would willingly confide in any thing on which my life depended, and more I could not say of any man. The Duke desired :'te might be called. When he was come, the Doke told him the affair. He promised on his word and honour that he.would deliver the letter to no person whatever, bu: to the Ki.tg only. Accordingly he went immediately to Court, and being come near the door of the King's closet, tOnk the letter out of his pocket to give it to the King. Just then Lord Sunderland came out of the closet, and teeing him asked him what he had in his hand? 11e said it was a letter from the Duke of Monmouth, ts Web he was going to give to the King. Lord Sunderland said, give it to me, I will carry it to him. No, my LTA, said the Captain, I have pawned my honour to the Duke that I would deliver the letter to no man but the King him self. But, said Lord Sunderland, the King is putting on his shift,-and you cannot be admitted into tbeeloset, but the door shall stand so far open that you shall see me give it to him. After many words, Lord Sunder. land prevailed On the Captain to give him the letter, and his Lordship went into the closet with it. Alter the Revolution, Colonel Scott, IA ho followed the fortunes of King James, going one day to see the King at dinner at Sr. Germains, in France, the King called him to .and said, Colonel Scott, ,l have lately heard a. thing that I want to know from you whether it is true. The King then related the story, and the Colonel a•su red him that what his Majesty had been told was exactly true. Upon which the King then- said, C.. 1 ,nel Scott, as I am a living man, I never saw that Icter, nor did I ever hear of it till within these few day'. OLIVER CROMWELL. The following traditional anecdote of Cromwell is from the relation of an old man, who had heard it re petted many times in his youth by sr•me ancient mem bers of his family. During ilva time, of the Common wealth, there betel a scarcity of corn, in consequence of a short harvest. Thoiigh it was knowo that the pre ceding years had produced plentiful crops, yet the farmers of those days, like forestallers and controllers. of the mar kcts in later times, artificially increased the scarcity by .withholding their grain from the public till a famine seemed to threaten the metropolis. On a mar ket day (I wars told by my nan atot), at Uxbridge, a stout, t uhicond, respectable, gentlemanly man, dressed like a substantial country yeoMan, purcha ed nearly all the suppl• of grain in the market, The farmers, sup posing him to be employed by some merchants, or probably by Government, were well pleased with him, and invited him to dine at one of the inn-, in their com pany, which invitation he accepted. After dinner, whilst regaling themselves over their tankards, Stc. he told them he had a large commission for corn, and was dis posed to give a good price. He likewise offered a pre mium to h.sii who brought the greatest quantity for sale. AccOrdingly, on the next market•day, Uxbridge had never displayed a larger supply of corn. Then, too, appealed our substantial yeoman, with several attend ants, and bags of gold. He purchased and paid ft r nearly all the grain that was brougl t. The compe tition amongst the farmers for the prize had emptied many a groaning granary, and the lucky farmer who had brought the greatest quantity was called for by the gentlemanly purchaser to receive at his hands the promised douceur. Exultingly he received and pocketed the money ; but as he was turnirg away Irom his liberal cust mer, te was asked by thrt gentleman to return him twopence, which the farmer did accordingly. The gentleman, with a commanding and a severe tone, thus addressed him :—Durst thou know what thy twopence is for? He answered, no. Well then. tell thee; I consider thou art the greatest 'ague in the market. This twopence is to purcha e a arid to hang thee withal. Corporal Stubbs (addressing; one of his pretended servants), there lives a cord-twister over the way; with this twopence buy thee a rope, and hang this fellow npon the sign post of this very house, as A warning to all such accursed Achans ; for surely, as saith the Scriptures, " Cursed is he that withholdeth Mead from the poor." The imm•dkate execution of the farmer took place, for it was Cromwell who commanded it; and Uxbridge market, for the future, was well and tegularly supplied with grain.—Lilerary ~C. ,
