For some days past it is observed that there is a con siderable degree of activity in the Department of Fo reign Affairs. Cabinet messengers are frequently dis patched to London and St. Petraurgh, and others arrive from those two capitals with dispatches from the Ambassadors of England and Russia. It is cost lectured that the affairs of Turkey are undergoing a serious discussion, and that plans are in contemplation which Will greatly embarrass the Turkish Government, if it persists in disregarding its true interests by finally 4:4ejecting the proposals of England and Russia with regard to the affairs of the Pcloponnesuu Letters from the banks of the Bug, scie‘k . of a report which has been circulated, ',lan expected . Moiernent of the Russian troops in Bessarabia; and on the right bank of the Danube. PROM Mg JOURNAL Das DEBAT. Or SUNDAY. While M. Dams announces from the Tribune that . France is acting in the East a part which corresponds with her dignity—although this action consists only in the conferences of our Ambassador with the Austrian Internuncio—two Powers, the Ministers of which speak less and do more, press the Divan to accept a mediation, the result of which would be to pacify Greece, which has been desolated by a struggle of five years' duration against its oppressors. The Divan resists, talks of legi .tinsacy, invokes sovereignty de facto, and declares th.t it will not acknowledge in any Power the right of in *terventi-n in its own affairs. There is no oppress r who does not seek to give the shew of principle to his argu , meat at the very moment when he is attempting to sub e'en it. It is an homage paid to principle, but it is that of hypocrisy to virtue. Let us not overlook the fact, that preparations for war are made at Constantinople, and that regiments manseovre there with a standard, to die,under which is to be esteemed a martyr. Allow the Divan to continue to believe that the demands of Chris tian Powers are formalities which may be eluded with address, or repulsed in case of need by force; let it con fine an Ambassador in the Seven Towers; and, in 20 years hence, it will be difficult to say which will be pre ' dominant—barbarism or civilization; Doubtless this is not the only consideration which has determined Russia and England to speak to the Divan io strong language. Powerful as this consideration ought to be with Statesmen, it is not the only one which has had an influence on this occasion. The commerce of the Ar- chipelago and the Mediterranean—a secret sympathy for persons of the same religion—a numerous army upon the frontiers, surprised at having to wait so long for the object for which it was assembled—these may explain the recent attitude of the two Cabinets, who imagine that, even in politics, there is a limit for patience. But who will undertake to justil the in dolence of our Cabinet? What "are we to be come i r Europe? 1. France less powerful than she was when confided to our Ministers? Have they rendered her voice impotent with other Governments?•• We all remember having heard that voice, but it is true it was not they who were then its organ. Ail the eloquence of M. de Damas must fail in convincing us that the part which we act in the negotiations at Constantinople corresponds with the dignity of a great nation. There is a public voice which does not deceive, and which is quite equivalent to official declarations. Is the question that of saving a people, whose cause has made as many hearts palpitate in France as in other Christian countries? Ye.. England and Russia threaten. It is not sufficient for France to advise. It is in vain to talk to us of di plomatic reasonings, which, according to our statesmen, ought to moderate the ardour of out philanthropy. It is in vain to justify our uneasy reserve towards Austria, .end our tergiversation with the Divan. In all this there is nothing but weakness. Let us await the conclusion, and we shall find that Austria will not forgive our . councils—that England and Russia will consider them timid; the Porte will think them officious; and eman cipated Greece will not reckon tie amongst the number of its saviours. DRESDEN, May !6. Since the secession of our new King, there has been ao change in the Ministry, and it is understood that the system pursued by his late Majesty will not be at all modified. It is asserted that, oa the evening of his death, Frederick Augustus called his brothers and nephews to his bel, and recommended to them toleration and im partiality in all the relations between Catholic and Pro teitant subjects. Her Majesty the Queen, who is sister of the Emperor of Austria, has appointed two Protestant , Ladies to be her maids of honour. This it without pre . cedent in Dresden. _ . . . _ The Journal de Lyons mentions that a young girl, • whose head had been turned by the Missionaries, has destroyed herself by burning herself upon a funeral pile of her own erection. B. fore she died, which was not until some days afterwards (having been snatched frcm the pile by htr mistress), she declared that she had re cefved an'order from Heaven to burn herself ; and the . night before sbe died she got up and sang her canticles of remissiqn. PROM TRZ CObIIITITUTIORNILL OP ZUNDILY. The Journal de la Belgique of May 51st contains the, following note It is rumoured at Brussels, that • Russia, wearied with the eternal tergiversations of the Divan, and justly irritated at its refusal to listen to the . propo>als which the English and Russian Ambassadors I Ave repeatedly made to the Turkish Government for •• the pacification of Greece, have resolved to have re course to arms as the only means of deciding a question which interests all the civilized . werld." TRIBUNAL OF CORRECTIONAL POLICE. ♦r7ATL Of TIM CRNSTITOTIONNIM. ♦ND Copan". FRANCAIS. COMPLAINT .0/ DEFAMATION AIDA/NST K. COPUMNON, INSTICTOR OF !WC& Al ter the usual formalities, and the customary ques tions pot to Messrs. Pauchet and Guise, the responsible editors of the above, Papers, DIXACALMB, the King's ♦dvocate, stated that errs: persons were cited for defamation of the public ' Authorities and Administration. M. Cophignon, thr agent of the police, had been pointed out as having flayed the part of an inciting agent in certain dis• turbances on the 17th of lay, and as having been found the bearer of a false carte ofeledeur, has cited the re sponsible Editors of the two Journals as gray of defa mation against him. Cophign4m was then examined. He was an old man, and wore the riband of the Legion of Honour. He de scribed himself as employed in the office of Inspector of the Police. He had been beaten, and his papers taken from him by the audents of Medicine, and deprived of his carte crelectear, dated 1822. Two witnesses were called to prove that the com plainant had been occupied on the morning of the 17th, in arresting a M. Carpentier, a bookseller, till two o'clock, and consequentky that it was impossible for him to have taken part in the disturbances which had taken place in the morning. M. DELAPALME, the King's Advocate, then gave a rapid statement of the disturbances caused at the course of M. Recamier, by some turbulent person I he spoke ) of " a venerable old man insulted," of " young men re sisting the severe measures of authority, in the same manner as the advice of their masters, knocking down' and dragging in the mud the persons .invested with authority, and in the name of liberty, rummaging an old soldier coveted with honourasle wounds, and the marks of honour." Ah! Gentlemen (said M. D ), let ns turn from this picture to the scene where air young men, to save the unfortunate old man, and at length, at the hazard of their own lives, placed him in satety. Some days after these disturbances were about to be quieted by those means which the instructors, placed in the situation of fathers, would be able to employ. At that time these two papers Viought proper to represent the transactioh under such colours as those of which the complaint was made." He e he read the objectionable passages, and concluded by requiring that both Editors should be con demned to one month's imprisonment; and the first to a fine of 5.000 f. and the second to 3,0001. M. pontaa-Durcuats was heard uD the part of Co phi grlon. M. %snug w accused the rules Advocate of not reading the Attic* preceding and following the ob jectionable Articles; from which it appeared that the Courier Francais had reczived certain explanations with respect to the young man whose body was exposed at the Morgue. The body had on the left side of the forehead a long oblique wound. It was impossible, under the circumstances attending its mode of exposure, to distinguish whether the wound had been inflicted by a cutting or a bluut instrument. Ti.is was the effect of the Article which appeared in the Etoik, and it was immediately copied by the Courier. So far was it from any bad intention, that it endeavoured to indute the young students not to participate in those tumultuary as emblies. The reasoning on the other side was strange enough. M. COPHIGNON said;:—"You defame me by saying, a spy voted as an elector.; It I am a spy, thave been an elector." The Advocat:, after pointing ot4 the evil effects of forgery at elections, produced some curious statements on the subject of Ministe ial pro cee‘'.ings at Elections. "It is," continued he, "curious to remark, that the elector, Copi:ign..n, whose exist ence, it is said. was quite independent, is indicated by the letter C.—that is to say, es one of that class who have occasion to preset ye the confidence of all parties, which would be quite conformable to the office of a secret agent, silhich was to precede that of Inspector of Police. We have other document's to rroee, that in this second College, into :inch we see the electors classed by power, there sere at least thirteen persons with forged cartes. I see on the list of this College M. Delaquit, Rue Cadet, No. 5, calculated at 1.218. lc. of direct taxes, in.cribed offici .lly by the Prefect of La Seine, among the electors of that D part:nent, al though he had previously exercised his political rights in the Department of Aisne, and no proof was pro duced in his narre either for his age or contributions. M. Delaquit answered to the call of the Prefect : he voted for the nomination of Ministerial scrutineers, and an extraordinary thing, for he had been dead for 14 months. An elector of good memory observed the fact aloud, and his vote is no longer to be found in the pro ceedings of the College. A still more important tact exists, which has been pr ved at the request of Brron Schonea, Counsellor at the Court Royal, in the preces verbal of the College. of the arrondissement of which this Magistrate formed a part: —An Elector appeared on the list as twenty-eight years of age: his certificate of birth was prerented to him, and yet he was allowed to vote by the President appointed by the Government, although unable to produce a contradictory certificate. A. M. Noirot, jun. aged 23 years, a wine merchant, Rue Saint Marc, No.lB, was not mentioned in the list of electors; he had no right to vote ; he did not present himself in any of the sections of the second Arrondisse ment, in spite of the official transmission to him of a calte d'ileaeur. The contest lay between Messrs. La fitte and Sanlot-Bagnenault. M. Noirot received a second carte, accompanied by this letter : " Paris, Feb. 59, 1826. " Sta.—.l have karat that you have not been, either yesterday or to-day, at your College. Undoubtedly, important circumstances can have alone prevented you ; I hope this will not be the case to morrow. The Election may depend upon your vote. You would not, I am sure, refuse it to the general good; and I am quite sure that this appeal to your honourable feelings will be attended to. Ac cept, Sir, the a,surance of my great consideration. (Signed) CHABSOL, " The Prefect of the Seine." In this there is nothing but a very laudable desire, as he would have us believe, for the welfare of the State, but the postscript explains the matter in question. " P.B. You no doubt know; that ht. Bagnenault has only wanted three votes." Thus it was for the success of a candidate, and to prevent the public misfortune of H. Lafitte's nomination, that the good Prefect converted M. Noirot into an elec t:T, who had not required it, and who had no tight to ir, and whose vulgar scruples were to be conquered by an invocation of the general interet. M. Dural then addressed the Tribunal ; and, after the reply of the King's Advocate and M. Metilhon, the decision of the cause was deferred for a week.

But, as neither the exploit is seecified. nor the time and place are mentioned, the Terri appears to merit very little attenion. Besides, we have had accounts from &lite of nearly as recent a date, which .fiteke no mention of any naval achievement performed by his Lordship, who !sad not in fact thevequisite time to do any thing worthy of his professional reputation, or the expectations of the people, whose cause he has joined. We suspect, Therefore, that the present rumour has some connexion with a former very loose report, in which it was stated that he had desteoyed or captured some Turkish' illippiog in the port of Navarins There are accounts in these Papers from St. Peters burgh to 17th May, suiting, amongst other things, that the EMPIROR would %snout lot Wraacoa, near Smolensk, in a few dap, for the purpose 61 reviewing the large body cf car air y assembled there. We alluded to this subject before, upon which scission we endeavoured 1 draw the attention of our readers to the power of a So. vet eign, who could thus muster in one place a corps of 60,000 cavalry, without subtracting a regiment from the forces, quartered in Old Russia, in Besserabia, Georgia, &c. Fortunately for the tranquillity of the world, and the security of the rest of Europe, money is not so plentiful in Russia as men; and, to make war feed war, is an art, as defective in practice, as it is sounding in name. We cannot conjecture the exact purpose for which the Russian EMPRROR exhibits this grand pageant A the present moment, unless it be to influence the negociations now pending in the Turkish capital, for which purpose, we allow, it is admirably calculated. But, when we hear that Russia is preparing for actual hostilities, we treat the intelligence with deri. sion, for we are persuaded, she will not take a step with respect to the contest between the Greeks and Turks, ex• cept in concert with her allies. If she were to make it a mere Russian question, those Powers, which now. act with her in unison, would be her most decided and on compromising opponents. They may make demonstra strations in common to induce the Porte to come to a seasonable arrangement ; but they never will have re. course to an armed waadiation, mail they find that di- 1 plomatic means fail. In the meantime, the idea of a Russian army passing the Pruth, and occupying the two Provinces provisionally, appears to us pre-emi nently absurd ; and, though we are obliged to allow that things, fully as improbable, have taken place, we must say that no English Statesman at all worthy of the name, would wink at, much less openly sanction, sts dangerous an encroachment on the part of Russia. Indeed the article, upon which we are courmenting, shews that no warlike purpose is connected with the present movements of the EMPEROR; as it distinctly says that he will not be absent more than a fortnight from his capital. We extract from a Brunswick Paper the following peevish remarks upon an individual, who, through the indiscretion (to use the mildest possible term) of the Brunswick Government, has made more noise recently, than he probably contemplated, or wished himself: BRUNSWICK. mar 21.

There may be agitatio n in both countries, but there is no imminent case of danget in her and tranquillity appears to be so comp l etely abb ; shed in Portugal, that the importance attac h e l te a e s it t I to her concerns would have ceased before now, had i t not been revived by the late alarming illness of the INFANTA Rgoasr. Spain too has evidently sunk into a state of comparative calm; and her Government has very wisely determined to refer her differences with a neighbouring Power to foreign arbitration, instead of attempting to cut the knot herself. In these Papers, there are some rumours, respecting Russia, against the sinister tendency of which, se hope, our preceding article will prove a complete antidote. It will be seeniwith pleasure, that the French Govern ment is exerting itself zealously to put down the abo minable Slave Trade.
