The French Papers of Thursday and Friday are extremely uninteresting, being principally filled with the-verification of the Election Returns in the preli minary proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies.— They contain nothing decisive relative to Russia and Turkey. The Journal des Debats says, " Letters have been received from St. Petersburgh of the 16th of May, all more and more pacific, and accounting for the delay of a public decision by the necessity of waiting for diplomatic answers from distant Cabinets." Accounts from Vienna to the Ist instant, received through another channel, go a little further, and state that M. dik TATISCUtir, whose former mission to Vienna excited so much attention, has returned to that capital, with unqualified assurances of the dispo ition of the EMPerOTAINZZA4iDIR to preserve pe s e s , and his consent to attend in person the approaching Congress at Florence, for which M. de TATISCHUI i, empowered to make the arrangements. Holding a Congress to settle a dispute and settling it are, how ever, somewhat different, and, notwithstanding the pn,itive declaration we received from Maris late on Saturday,we are still very sceptical as to the differences between Russia and Turkey being easily reconciled. Colonel Durnr, who has acquired an unfortunate celebrity, has been arrested for insulting a gendarme who prevented one of his friends from bathing in the Seine. Both the Colonel and his friend were con &acted to the Prefezture of Police. During the ex amination of DUFATp it was discovered that he wore a poignard from 12 to 13 inches long, richly mounted. A fiacre, which had been waiting since the morning, brought to the Prefecture two swords, a hat, and a tiding coat, which they bad left in it. The coach man declared that in the morning he had conveyed to the Bois de Boulogne three individuals, and that he had brought back but two. Thirty young men, arrested in consequence of the disturbances on Monday, were set at liberty on Tues day and yesterday. Others are still at the Prefec ture of the Police. The last letters from Vienna bring some modifica tion of the intelligence published by the Austrian Ob server and other Journals respecting the entire eva cuatiun by the Turks of Moldavia and Wallachia. are extracts: SAV.ITZERLAND, MAY so. It is stated that the Porte will maintain in these two Principalities a number of troops equal to these, coasiating of Arnauts, which the 1-lospodars bad in their pay before the disturbances which broke out in the spring of 1821. Only the Asiatic hordes will be compelled to pass the Danube to proceed to an ulte tenor destination. Factica FUNDS, JUNE 7.—Five per Cent.

The plan was approved. •In'the Sitting of the following day, reference %cos made to the First Committee of Finance, of a con-• monication from the Minister of the Interior, which stated that the KING, taking into consideration the necessity of administering relief to the industrious classes, more particularly as the misery now-prevail ing in some Provinces induces many persons to . join the factious bands, hai been pleased to propose to the Cortes the augmentation of 10,000,000 of teals to the Estimate foi the Ministry of the Interior, to be applied to public works, in order to give employ ment to the labouring poor. Hamburgh Papers to the 6th inst. Dutch Papers to the 6th, and Brussels Papers to the Bth, have reached us, but they are very uninteresting. The greatest honours continue to be paid to the Crown Prince of SWEDEN at Copenhagen, and preparations are making for giving due solemnity to the ceremony of Sir GEORGE NavLatt's investing the Kam with the Order of the Garter. An article from Vienna, dated May 27th, says— " The Austrian Observer, after mentioning the retreat of the Turkish troops from the principalities, has not again touched on the subject, or in general the ques tion of peace or war, so that we do not know what effect this step of the Turkish Government has had, nor %vhether the principalities, supposing them to be really evacuated, will remain unoccupied, or whether other troops will replace the Turkish." The little town of Tans:, in Bohemia, was destroyed by fire the 4th of May : 150 very pretty houses, the Church, and Town-hall, were destroyed, and two persons lost their lives. German Papers arrived this day. The following Among the subjects to be discussed by the next Diet, is a proposal for a commercial intercourse, which N.

Great lapfirehension had been expressed by some of the Petitioners, lest large quantities of that grain should be surreptitiously taken out, and brought into the supply of the home market, contrary to law. It was also stated by some of the Petitioners, that a consi derable portion had been so use& The Committee, Aiowever, after receiving evidence on the subject, de clare the laws already in force quite sufficient, and that they have nothing to offer either in the way of precaution or remedy. The distillery laws have also occupied their attention, with a view to making such alterations as may afford a probable extension of the consumption of barley ; but, after considering the subject, the only decision they come to is, that it is a question which• does not strictly belong to them. Among the Parliamentary Papers just printed. there are some relating to the lonian Islands, which, although they do not plate our Government there in moan) , new light, they confirm the general character which has been ascribed to it, and call loudly for a Parliamentary inquiry into the subject. It appears that in March, 1821, a Petition to his MAJESTY was privately circulated in the island of Zante for signa ture. Sir PATRICK Ross, the representative of the LORD Ilion .Coxtutssrowas there, being informed of the circumstance, immediately seized the Petition on the person of AI. de Rossi, the Judge of the Island, and this step was followed by dismissing M. de Rossi from his 'situation, as well as Count FLAII• lIVRIARI, the Advocate Fiscal of the island of Zante, who had also signed it. From the adoption of mea sures of such severity it will no doubt be concluded that the Petition must have been what Sir THOMAS MAITLAND in his dispatch calls it, " extremely li bellous and seditious." How far this is the case our. Readers shall judge. It is is follows: Stan—lf your great mind, on which depends the fate of many, will condescend to take into consideration common things, the undersigned citizens of Zante, entreat you to listen to a few words, in the expressing which they feel the same confident hopes which animated them when the treaty of 1815 committed them to the care of your Majesty. " To that care they now anxiously apply, since the power of one person has rendered vain those expectations which had been raised by the magnanimous intentions of the high Powers who evade that treaty. gi That the intentions of those who fixed the destiny of these islands, in placing them under the exclusive protection of your Majesty, were that they should enjoys liberal Government, there can be no doubt ; and that under it their prosperity, which their lfl fortune had destroyed, should return; but it is not to be pre stuntithat a Consdtution which places every power in the abso lute wino( a single person can be the fitting means of bringing about those august intentions. m Nevertheless, such is the nature of the Constitution which the Lord High Cenuniutorier caused to be signed by the Pri .nary depos, sisa y a Constituent Assembly created by him self abbe. . ▪ Is is pebitill, Sire; to think on the vile conduct of those wbo lent their heads to mcb e work, and on the univerml sorrow peemiled m thie country en the occasion. • It was hoped, * however, that as soon as the bad effects to • the nation arising ftoin this circumstance should be known, some alterations would take pla i ce, which the benevolence of your Ma jesty, always well disposed to the protected people, would not fail to &ppm, and from this we expected safety ; but the too fatal preponderance which vested every power in one single per m*, costumed to fetter everything, and left no read open for oberades. " Bet while persons were found who, preferring their pirate interests to those of their country, violated the sanctity of their feactions, the greater /tad the asunder part of their fellow-dd. nee ti sleeted with aushattiosens disdain, and were excited to pada regret. This murmurs, Am without tenths, preilLicti Within the walls of the house of private imllvlduah, sine. met: ten were so contrived that the voice of the citizens could zct spread further than was permitted by the will of him who ear-- *landed everything. Those fruitful murmurs now open for them selves a way to be heard by your Majesty, to whom they 1 0 ,,k ,up for relief. " Thasindersigned address your Majesty in the name of their country. If they appear few to represent that country, consider 0 Sitel that but few are the penis= who dare to declare their frank opinions upon matters which are patsing, and who rni vais hat free mind which neither hopes nor fears can force front its resolves. " If many have been Induced, on some other occasion, to sign Addresses expressive of the content of the people under the pe e . sent system of Government, it is easy to believe this to he th e effect of the Power of hlm who rules to bend to his will the weak-minded and we are certain that, in the face of those 4 6 ... i dresses, the major paif of the inhabitants would be found heze registered, if they were not rendered cautious by the nec:ss:y of acting with secret prudence. " It Is, therefore, the whole country that throws itself io at the foot of your Majesty's throne, imploring you to raise it front the depth of misery into which it has been cast, by giving yoUr powerful orders that a Legislative Assembly, freely chosen 'from the Notables of the Islands, should make those changes and modifications necessary to define, accordfrg to the spirit and letter of the Treaty of Paris, the authority and the pow ri of the Lord High Commissioner, as well as those of the lo..izn Government, so that the first shall net exceed a salutary and benevolent superintendence; and the second enjoy a rational liberty and moderate independence. " This reform, 0 Sire,would not fail to produce the most salu tary effects, and would restore to dignity a nation placed ;index your exclusive protection. " Posterity,while recurring to the misfortunes of our courr7i Lthe tender offspring of an illustrious mother,will inquire to whom she was indebted for becoming brilliant and free, and history will reply, she owed it to George the Fourth. (Signed) "Count FLAMBU RI A RI, Advocate Fiscal of &tits. "Dr. GEORGE DE ROSSI, Judge. " And thirty•two others.' Now we will appeal to our Rea iers if the siffer ings of an oppressed People were ever detailed is more respectful language to a Sovereign, than tliis Petition which Sir THOMAS 'MAITLAND and Sir PA. TRICK Ross declare to be " libellous, sediticm, and treasonable !" The Petitioners, on the behalf of their enslaved fellow countrymen, throw their griefs at the feet of their Sovereign, and ask—what? Why no• thing more than " a Legislative . Assembly, fiee'w chosen from the Notables of the Island, which shall maki such changes and modifications that the tut thority of the Lord High Commissioner shall net ex ceed a salutary and benevolent superin!endence, and that the People shall enjoy a rational liberty and moderate independence." Surely no request could be more reasonable, nor couched in language more temperate and respectful, and yet sach is the per version of human intellect, created by the posse+sion of absolute power, that it brands a wish for rr.t:on.:l liberty and moderate independence, as " seditious, and even trea•onable." But one word as to the individuals,_ and the rna-.- . ner in which this Petition was got up. Both de Rossi, 'and Count FLAMBCRIARI, held offices titi: 7 Government, and unlike most persons in similar situations, were not insensible to the severity with which their fellow-countrymen were ruled. They did not in consequence secretly excite or abet a Peti tion or Remonstrance, but they drew up a Petition, and boldly placing their names the first on the list rt' the signatures, brave every danger in order to mate their Sovereign and avowed Protector acquainted with the system of misgovernment pursued in tiie:e Islands. This is " the head and front of their offen:- ing," and for this they are dismissed from office, tle Count expelled the Legislative Assembly, of wh:i he was a Member, and both branded as libe:lets and traitors ! The reports in circulation respecting some advan tages having been gained by the Grecian over t:,e Turkish fleet, are strengthened by a private letter ft orn Vienna, dated the 25th of May. In that capitA the accounts of a naval action off Scio, on the Ist May, had been received from two distinct qua) tern. On the IGth May a vessel arrived atVienna from Corfu, in Eve days, which brought the information that the Greeks had gained such success over the Turks, that the fleet of the latter had been compelled to retire to the Dal danelks. These news were brought to Corfu, on the 11th May, by an English ship. A letter received at Vienna from Odessa, dated the 10th of May, mention that a ship had arrived in three days from Constar. - tinople, where it was known that their fleet had been beatea on the Ist of May, off Scio, by that of the Greeks, and that the SULTAN had ordered the Sciot hostages to be strangled as soon as the information was received. His MAJESTY has been pleased to have ordered the issuing of cards for a grand Dress Ball on Friday evening next, at his Royal Palace in Pall-Mall. Yesterday the Rev. Dr.W. F. BLOMBERG perfornieJ Divine Service to the King's Household, at the Palace in Pall-Mall. The report (says the Edinburgh Star of Fri.lar\. revived, that his MAJESTY intends to visit Scotia) in the course of the present summer. The month or August is stated as the period. Dalkeith i louse is mentioned as the probable Royal abode in Scotland ; and state apartments, for holding Levees, Ste. to be furnished in Holyrood Palace. The above has been very confidently communicated to us by a Gentle man who seems to " speak with authority.' His MA JESTY, however, is by no means expected by the ge nerality orwell-informecl persons. The SCCOUCheMeltt of the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE is expected to take place the latter end of this itimit! , .
