FRENCH PAPERS. 'ROM TBS MONITSUIt. M. 4. PARIS, Ammar 3. The news of the arrival of the English ships, the Lyra, Minerva, and the Susanna, at Brest, on the 30th of January, is correct. They have on board 630 Pot =guess refugees, under the orders of - Count Saldanha. These infortunate persons were conveyed by two Eng lish frigates as far as Cape Finisterre, whence they pro ceeded to Brest. Tke Government has ordered the Miritime Prefects to give speedy assistance to the vessels and to the Por tuogese. These orders, which were immediately trans mitted, have been executed with the humanity and zeal which, distinguish our nation. /40S1 TIM JOURNA6 DU COMMESCri M. 4. FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, UL U. Letters frdm Adrianople, which are worthy of credit, give a frightful picture of the miseries which prevail among the new recruits of the Turkish army in the environs of Schumla. A great number of these poor man die daily, and the ravages which death causes in the hospitals, thin the ranks of the Ottoman army. A great number of sick arrive at Sophia, Salonichi, Setts, and Adrianople. The Asiatic Turks, who wear no stockings, have had their feet frozen in crossing the B.slkan.

The Syblle, Commander Collier, arrived here about a fortnight ago (on her return to the Bights of Benin and Bar a), from a cruise to St. Helena, where she remained a month, for the purpose of recruiting the health of her officers and men. Oa her passage here she called at the Island of Ascension; the garrison there all sell; Nicholls superseded, and waiting anxiously for a passage to England. Sybile and her tender Black Joke sailed in company on Tuesday (2d Dec.) on a cruise to tbe Bights, after slaves, both vessels healthy. Sybille has been par ticularly fortunate since she came out, having only lost tern man from fever, and those were taken ill in pi ites. The slave trade has increased very much within the last twelve months, owing, it is supposed, to the Treaty with the Brazils drawing to a close, March, 1830, beng the prescribed period. Within the last week wren vessels have arrived here with slaves, and many of them in a very dreadful state, suffering ender most loathsome diseases, contracted from their crowded and filthy state in these small vessels, some of which have been eight and ten weeks performing a passage which only occupies twenty days. Number of vessels at rivei—A schooner, prize to Black Joke and Primrose, 299 slave.; schunues, prize to Mediea, 200 slaves; brig, prise to M dine, 418 slaves ; schooner, prize to North Star, 448 ;laves ; schooner, 381. So crowded was one of the tar) last mentioned vessels, that a number of the slaves were obliged to be taken out, and put on board another vessel lay passage to Sierra Leone, a. others i.e the loss of hfe must have been dread ful. Alio. her vessel, prize to North Star, with upwards of 100 slaves, has not yet strived. The cokny is at pre,ent very heal.lry ; would that I could say ti•e same fit t c sister one of Fern rod* Po!

In consequence of this alarming aggression. committed on the shame of the dominions Ohio Most Faithful Majesty Donna Maria 11. the Suesnook and the other pratnports (Misted (roe coming to anchor, and Captain Walpole sent an Mee on beard the Susannah with a letter. is which he demanded from the Portuguese for what object they had come titbit; island and the Azores. The Canine Sablanba, *how duty as Commander it was to answer this letter, declared, that be had orders from his legitimate Soverago the Queen Donal hfuia 11. to conduct to the island of Terceira, governed in km 'wrist name, and occupied by bet stoops, a part of the Pumpers who bad voluntarily gone to England—tellers with which be would comply at all risks. To this declaration Captain W &VW replied, that he had likewise posh ire orders from his Goverment not to consent to their disembarking on any of the islands of the Azores, aad that he would employ against us the forces under bin, command, if we should endeavour to land on any of them, insist ing that we should depart. The Conde de Saldanba replica, that notwithstanding these determinations he was, as be ought to be. resolved to comply with the orders which be had waived, and that he would only desist from landing at the port, into which he had entered Without encountering any impediment on the high sea, when Capt.. Walpole should declare him a prisonof of tear, or should take possession of the neutral and unarmed transports of * whitish, bad the charge; appealing us the right of nations, casting Tieuks, and the relations of peace and amity subsisting between her Most Faithful Majesty and his ihitannic Majesty. The English Meer, who was the boated semod intimatioa from the Commodore, thought,proper not to wait for a reply in writing, but communicating told. Coinmender some reflections on the condiait of the Cootie ele Sadanka, be (the Commodore) ordered Captain Bradford on hoard the !foamiest, with e third intimation, which was in substance that if the Susanoalt, and the other vessels accompanying her, did mat leave the pert of Praia before three o'clock in the afternoon, he would employ force in securing obedience to his orders. The Conde de Saldanha maintained in another note his first declaration, and added, that heathy; the verbal indention! of Captain Bradford. and the hostile expression of the dhpattbes sent by the Console dote, he could only consider the Portuguese in the transports as prisoners of war, and that he would folow the BMWs force wherever it might conduct him—declaring at the same time that ,the provisions and water of the transports did not permit a long voyage. In the mean time the Conde de Saidahha wrote to Com ' maws Walpole, defending the rights of his Sovereign, whine Iu enters he was executing, and expressed his regret that the monde had noc thought proper to reply to him in writing, 'am* circumstances so arduous, so new, so extraordinary. and so Illigreeedented in the history of civilised nations. hleanwhile the Ranger approached the Susannah, and the Commodore intimated iset only to the Conde do Saldanha but to the Captain of the Su sannah. that they must immediately comply. Notwithstanding .this, and the lamentable and sanguinary aggression which the dlitemsah had 'offered a few hours before while about to clot onelmor, the Conde de Saldanba ordered Captain Praia to go on Word the Ranger with another dispatch, stating various reasons' for his conduct, and adding, that the precipitancy of the threate ins intimations deprived him of the passibility of personally to the Commodore the protest which he was drawing up against the um heard of aggression which the Portuguese had suffered in their own ports and waters. To this message Commodore Walpole replied in writing that it was may to save tine that he bad re. trained from writing before ; that to the intimations which be bad given, spathe reflection on the Conde de Saldanha, he had only to add, that es Conde de Saldanba might sail to France or to Ragland, or to any other place be chew, provided be know. diately left the Ideas of the . Azores. In this, as well as in his other messages, the COnstitodore omitted to state whether or not be considered the Conde de Saldanba a prisoner of war.— This minion obliged the Conde de Saldanha to ask for rust*, esplanatiees ; but at the moment in which be was writing, the shot of the Ranger, a frigate of his Britannic Majesty, passed again between the mastsof•the Swamis, in the waters of a port of which bet Most•Peithful Ilajesty Donna Marla 11—perbaps the oldest ally of the King of Great Ihitiln—is Queen. The Conde do &Woke then ordered the boat to be lowered down, descended into it, and put al for the Ranger, which lay.to to receive Isins. He deliFered the d ls patch which be bad just written. but only elhedord (beside-the-civil attentions or Commodore Walpole, who ^aglaberad- to regret the WOO service be was obliged to execute, and the blood width hit bad shed on board the Susannah) a reply in writing, renewing the intimations and threats previously given, and reitarkibi his Arne resolaticia to employ the force snider his command to drive to from the port of Praia. With this reply •thwCondede &Mad& returned on board the Susannah, and saw Attlee frigates had already taken up a posidon which enabled than to sink the uantports on the first fire. The Conde de Saldanba then, observing thaaiongar delay imbt port at Praia could only have datelleetofiacrilldngotbellses of tbrupormed Portuguese whom the gotta Ind confided to him, and to expose to greater insults the nation to• which he belittled, declared himself a prisoner of , war in teir meat of the' frigates* of his Ibitadnic Majesty, mob ordered the dampens to prated in whatever direction the felines should point out.
