LITERARY STATE OF FRANCE. Through the kindness of a friend, we had in our hands, a few days ago, the Altnanach du Commerce for 18t9, which is analogous to our Generil British Directories; and though Its literary pretensions are • fly of the very humblest class, we found some facts in it which are not without literary interest. Of this description we consider the detailed catalogue it presents of the Journals of all kinds published in Paris. These are vastly more numerous than any one in this country could have anticipated.— There are actually 178 Journals published In the French Capital ; and if we add the fourteen annual publications, the whole numbe is 182. There is something as Interesting in the details as in the gross numerical amount. London has, we believe, 14 daily news papers, and about 35 weekly, semi-weekly, or tri-weekly. Paris has only nine daily Journals dealing in political news, one tri weekly, and no weekly wee ; but besides its newspapers, it has ten Journals, some daily, some weekly, hikd with advertisements, ju dicial notice., and commercial announcements; and ten Journals, all daily, devoted to literature, the-stage, &c. Of the uthet parts of the classified list below, it strikes us as remarkable, that there are twenty Journals devoted to jotisprudence, of which a very few are mere reports of decisions—eight to education, which does not form the staple of one periodical in Critain, so far as we know —twenty-one to science, which forms the material only isf four or five in London—and twenty-two to medicine, which numbers only six or seven in its service in the British Metropolis. Ex clusive of the ten Daily lAterary Journals, there are eighteen pub lished at intervals, varying from thrice a week to once a quarter, a great proportion of which bear the title of Reviews. The eight Musical Journals are, we imagine, a greater proportion than fall to the share of London. The per Monthly Mainline, for November, contains a short article, copied from a French Paper, in which the number of Jour nals in Paris is said to be 169. Our statement, of course, refers to the end of December last, and since that time some changes may have taken place : but it has, from the nature of the document, all the authenticity which any account nen have: We believe one or two Weekly Newspapen have started since that time ; and it is possible that some of the literary ones may have disappeared under the political excitation produced by the recent changes. The entire number of Newspapers in France, we know on good authority, is nearly SOO. In Engl.:tido Scotland, and Ireland, there are about 350; but we must remember that political Jour nals, in the.proper sense of the term, are a novelty in France, while the population of liritain have been familiar with them for half a century. A comparison between the two countries may be more fairly drawn twenty years hence, than at this moment; but jud,ing from what we have witnessed within the last fifteen years, we anticipate that after the lapse of a quarter of a century; newspapers will be more cotnmon, awl political information more abundant in France than in England. In France, the price of a daily newspaper is only one-third of the price in England, but a French paper does not contain one fourth part of the quantity of letter-press contained in some of the London Papers. The duty in France is two centimes, or onss penny; bet fora paper as large as the Monikur it is five cents, or twopence halfpenny. We must recollect, on the other band, that the French daily Journals publish on Sundays, and give of course fifty-two numbers mote in the year than the English Look ing at the French periodical press as a whole, our impression is, fitst, that science and literature occupy a greater space in it, in pro portion to politics, than they do in the press of this kingdom; and, secondly, that the press of the capital has a greater preponderance over that of the country in France than in England.

There are about 1,500 sellers of wine in retail in Paris; and about 1.400 post towns in France. FRENCH PAPERS. From the Gazette de France of Saturday. lICOWD tOrllolll. PARIS, Nov. 29. We find the following passage in a letter from Constantinople, dated the sth of October :—" Every thing h-re goes on so slowly, that the Turks have taken 'is days en write Lill a I, the King of Kings, ratify.'" This is what makes people talk of dili gence in the execution of the Treaty of Adrianople. As for the Packs of Scutari, it is true that he has thought to render himself independent; but General Diebitsch having threatened to march against him with his whole force, klustapha 101 certainly be quiet. From the Messager. des Chambres of Saturday, Second Edition. it is said that the Emperor has given orders to Count Diebitsth to deliver passports to Rani Pacha. From this determination, however, it must not be concluded that his Majesty consents to a reduction of the stipulated indemnities for the expenses of the war, though that is the alleged object of this extraordinary embassy. Orders have been sent for the removal of the regiments of the guard cantoned near Talezza ; but It is believed that they will be replaced by other corps from the interior. The fallowing appears in one of the Morning Papers : " Yesterday evening, the Ministers dined with the Minister of War This was, doubtless, the farewell dinner, for it is said that orders for removal have been given at the oMcial residence, in the Rue St. Dominique. The retirement of hf, Niangin is certain.— We know positively that the Prefecture of Pollee has been offered to hi. Agin, who refused it." ' A relative of hi.

He then burnt one of his fingers, but this operation did not produce any signs of life, which had evidently been extin guished in the most horrible manner. It appears beyond doubt. that if the police regulations had been fulfilled, the sufferer would not have bat his life ; because, at the end of two or three hours, which sufficed for the performance of the funeral obsequies. the lethargy would perhaps have ceased. The reason for this supposition is,. that if an accidental cause were sufficient to terminate . the lethargy. it was most likely the shock which the sufferer received, or the noise he heard during the transport of the coffin from the residence to the church, and from the church to the burying-ground, would have had that effect. Be this as it may, the agents of authority were certainly greatly in fault ; and if they had taken the necessary precautions, they would have saved the life of a fellow-creature. It Is to be hoped, how ever, that the occurrence will teach them to take such measures as will prevent the recurrence of so dreadful a calamity." SYItA, OCT. 16 Since the raising of the blockade of the Dardanelles, the Archi pelago offers a remarkable scene—on every side merchantmen of various nations directing their course towards the Black Sea. The commerce of our town is extremely active; more than 20 ships arrive in our port or sail from it every day. After receiving the Treaty of Adrianople, the Pesident arrived here on board a brig belonging to the Government, and after hav ing stopped six hours, set out for Egina. We are entirly ignorant of the object of this short visit. Finnan. having been sent from Constantinople to the Turkish Governments of Athens and FAsbota to evacuate those places. A part of the garrison of the latter had already been conveyed to Salonichi. The inhabitants, who are not soldiers, are to choose a Turkish town to which they will be re moved, unless they prefer to remain under the Greek Government. In Candle, the Turks now possess only the fortress and the ter ritories surrounding them within cannon shot. The late victories gained by the troops of Ypsilanti, in Continental Greece, are due, in a great measure, to the disciplined troops. The residence of the French troops has greatly contributed t• form ours. FRENCH FUNDS—Puts. Nov. 21. Five per Cents. 1081. 60c. 75c. 80c. 78e. Four and a Half per Cents. 1041.18 c.

In the extract from the Conslilutienutel, for " they would still have a majority to report the New Laws true to that declaration," read " they would still have a majority to support the New Laws. True to that declaration, nu sooner bad the renewal," ate. In the " GASTIE Parses," for " a generous and compecticg nature too readily insposes," read "reposes." We are credibly informed, that the Countess de VILLA FLOR has left the shores of France, under auspices which will prove as honourable to a Continental Cabi net, as they are calculated to furnish a new proof of the deplorable policy of our own. The destination of the Countess is Terceira. We understand that Mr. GALLY KNIGHT'S pam phlet, on the Foreign Policy of England, has been trans lated, and printed for circulation in Portugal. Surely, ' we must be already so fallen in the estimation of that unhappy and injured people, that the statements of the author can hardly tend to lower us in its eyes! We know not what more can be said by us, to shame the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl : all that we know is, that if they have the face to meet Parliament with unabashed presences, still persevering in their ungener ous policy, they must be shame-proof—and we almost fear that they are. It is, however, worth while for the noble Duke, if he value the prolongation of his power, to show some deference—even at this late period of the Portuguese episode—to the storm of popu lar disapprobation which is rising round him. Recogni tion—unless it be that of Donna MARIA—he will not dare to attempt before the re-assembling of the Legisla ture. Arbitrary as his Grace's nature is, and well inclined his disposition towards the representative of absolute systems in Portugal4we.believe that that itretch of audacity is beyond his venture. . Besides, at this moment—when the tie which connects ultra principles in this country with illiberalism in France, is about to be snapt by the precipitation of his confederate PoLtox ec from power—the experiment would be most ill timed. We know it was the Noble Duke's idea, to make France lead the way in this unnatural acknowledgment, and then, to come down to the House, and shew the necessity of following such a powerful example. There would be scope for much constitutional declamation, and specious profession of regret, that a country se attached to free forms—by the way, her free substances are all evaporated—as England is, should find itself compelled to bend to such uncongenial State necessities : but still, the example of France wouldbe urged, and a recognition from her would be made a pretext to justify one by us. But this contingency—however imminent its realisation might have seemed lately—is removed now into thecircle of extreme possibilities. To compass such a recognition M. DR POLIGNACMUSI be able not only to keep Misplace against the tempest, before which he is inevitably doomed to fall ; but he must also convert into kindly feelings .thi raging hatred which the French people bear to Min um., and their passion for chartered rights into sympathy for abjured oppressions. Let those, who watch the barometer of public opinion among our regenerated neighbours, judge whether they will do these things for POLIGNAC: or whether, if the Prime Minister should dare to do them in defiance of the people, he would be likely to survive the storm ? Such being the discouraging aspect, under which the question of Don Alm u nes recognition now presents it self in France, it is clear that the Duke of WELL' so Tow must abandon whatever hope he had indulged, of its proceeding first from that country. The enquiry then suggests itself—Will the Noble Duke set the example, which his cunning but baffled policy from the beginning only laid its calculations to follow ? Is his reliance upon himself so outrageously extravagant, as to believe that he can so dishonour the country which he governs, and continue to administer its government after he has so dishonoured it ? We can scarcely believe it. The Noble Duke is aware—as we stated in a former article—that a motion to bring the affairs of Portugal under the con sideration of Parliament, and enquire into the conduct of Ministers, is at this moment among the standing notices : will he, then, have the indecency to precipitate, during the recess, a measure which he could net carry—perhaps, even dared not propose—were the Houses met? It will be seen, even by this imperfect and hasty survey, that the state of the question, as to the ac knowledgment of Don Mtn u EL, is materially altered in this country as well as in France. Ministers, here, are not less eager to acknowledge him now, than they have uniformly been ; but the popular prevalences against their corrupt accomplice on the other side are forcing them—in spite of themselves—to restrain and modify their unseasonable eagerness. If a recognition, so contrary to the interests and honour of this country— and so opposed to the principles of an enlightened policy shall ultimately be carried by the Noble Duke and his colleagues, it will add one more to the many instances already placed on record, that the sense of Parliament is not the sense of the people. It will be one more damning proof of the ruinous and demoralising effect of borough traffic : for if the creatures, who are sold to the LONSDALES and HEILTFORDS—to the Cotton Baronets, like PEEL, and Jew Baronets, like MASSEX LOPEZ—could not be driven into the House at the crack of the patron's whip, to do in it the prostitution for which he bought them, a Minister like the Noble Duke could not force the country to degrade itself. But it is in this manner that the corrupt machinery works, and by this machinery alone, that political flagrancies—like that in question—can be achieved behind the mask of our constitutional forms. By this machinery it is that . a grinding fiscal is perpetuated, and half the nation is reduced to beggary and nakedness. Tremen dous fulcrum, for the lever of ministerial corruption to rest on! Where will the Noble PREMIEN be, when Reform shall dash it in indignation from under him ? For, as to gentle and acquiesced purgation:, the fantastic oligarchs betray not a symptom of permitting these. We have shown, thus—in a few words—that if the blood-stained usurper shall be ever acknowledged by this country as King of Portugal, it can be only through the depraving influence of our borough system: and we have shown it strikingly, so that even a child may comprehend us. We are aware that the Noble and Gallant PREMIER feels acutely—without this expo sition of our's—the critical ground which he has taken up : we know that he is much agitated, whenever he con , templates the deepening difficulties of the country, and stern step of approximating reform. It says something for his sagacity : will he turn his prescience to account ? An Augsburg Paper received this day has the fol lowing obeervations on the treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey. It feebly endeavours to combat the opinions of the Allgemeine Zeitung—which has all along maintained what is perfectly true—" that a new or ganisation of Europe is what is chiefly required in our times." Our Augsburg contemporary at last acknow ledges what he strenuously denied for a long time, namely, " that Turkey is undoubtedly reduced to in curable debility, and no regeneration of that country is to be hoped." _ _ AUGSI3URG. The Supplement to the Alkmaar &aunt of the 16th and 17th November contains another lung article on the Treaty of Peace between Russia and Turkey, dated from the Isar,l2th November The writer says, " A new organization of Europe is what Is chiefly required in our times, and it would be more advisable to end to supply this want than to estimate the disease of the age with the notions of a balance of power which is no more, and to apply fake remedies. " We consider this organization as possible, without any neces sity for disturbing the frontiers of the States of Europe. " First of alb it seems indispensable that France should be in harmony with itself; that the Government should be sinterely re conciled with the nation ; that• it should strengthen itself, by taking advantage of the fewness which its energies offer; remove a ruinous contest against than, and appear in Europe as a Power at peace with Itself." If France is once so involved, it will find an opportunity in Spain and Portugal to do service to those unhappy countries, to free them from the burden of Monkish power, and enable them again to take en honourable place In the Councils of Europe. The writer would bare Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, become of more importance in the general sys tem, by judicious commercial alliances with each other, and with Germany and Austria, by paying due attention to the interests of its commerce as connected with the East, might gain such advan tages, and such a manifest increase of strength, as to counter balance all the advantages acquired by Russia. " In general, ne gotiations for the regulation and improvement of the commerce of the East seems to us of the greatest importance to ensure the beneficial results of peace. This we think of more consequence to Europe than endeavours to obtain a diminution of the contri bution to be paid by Turkey. Lastly, it is to be wished that Ragland, in accordance with its own understood interests, would waist in concert and with decision to effect the political separation at Greece. It is ailed upon to do this, bees= the advantage of a new marine in the Mediterranean would be shared by England ; for that this marine would become a forced ally et Ruda, as the Me lately observed—would have to be apprehended only if the Greeks ioond themselves exposed to the cannot malty of Eng land. Austria has Dodds, to foss Irmo the imispeodsecs of Greece, foe what Frene.b papers say of the danger to be appre hended from the vicinity of free Greeks to Italy, are only liberal phrases ; foe Austria has it in Its power. by animating Italian com merce, to reduce Carbone:lsm of every description to Its original insignificance. Francs too, the writer thinks, would. under these drcumstances, derive ample benefits from a Greek State. Turkey is undoubtedly reduced to incurable debility, and no regeneration of that country is to be hoped; but if the But is invigorated by the opening of the commerce of the Danube, and the creation of a new State in Greece—if industry, order, and wealth return to these countries to which satire has been in bountiful, they will afford to every commercial nation gains hitherto unknown, give new guarantees to the peace of Europe, and participate in the re vival of the balance of power. AU the States of this quarter of the globe will share in the new life that will animate the Mediterra nean; and even the Barbary States, Egypt, Syria, and Asia Minor, will be drawn by the greater extension of a safe commerce into the pale of civilisation. =CHANCE ON LONDON.
