FRENCH PAPERS. From the .4"lfess . ager des Chambres of Tueeddy.) PARIS, APRIL 27.—We quote from the German Journals the few passages which are not repetitions of what they have already stated. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCII 26.—1 n the midst of the formidable preparations for war, the Ambassador for the Netherlands does not lose sight of the noble mission which the confidence of the Allied Cabinets has intrusted to him' and continues to cxert.himself .svith the Ottoman Porte for the pacification of Greece. His F.xcelkncy, who enjoys the esteem of the Reis Effendi, does not despair of success in his negociA tions. He has been assured that the Sultan would accede to every thing consistent with the Mussel man name, to restore the good understanding with France and England. The last news from Greece, by no means favourable to the Porte, are supposed to have contributed to make it assume a more mo derate language. While some of the frontier pro vinces of Turkey take advantage of the present cri sis, if not to rebel, at least to form pretensions of in dependence, the most powerful vassal of the Porte, the Viceroy of Egypt, has signified to the Sultan his extreme regret at not being able more effectually to assist him. The check which the Turkish arms have received in Livadia will probably hinder the iatended reinforcements to Hussein Pacha.. The new Grand Vizier is still expected from Albania; Litt many persons think that he has already waited on the Sultan incognito, and received his instructions. The forced emigration of the Jews still continues. This banishment of so many Greeks, Jews, and Armenians has been called for in the present critical circumstances by the most important considerations. They will make so many mouths less in a moment of scarcity, and it cannot be de nied that they are so many enemies sent away. The Divan knows very well that the Reyes desire the triumph of the Russians, and that many of them are paid to prepare a revolution, and stimulate the discontented. All the letters agree in the unshaken firmness of the Sultan, whose courage and presence of mind keep up the spirits of his subjects, and awe the seditious.

The Ocean, late Major, from Sierra Leone, for this port, put into Port Praya 22d March, having fur feet water in her hold and pumps in a bad state. She arrived at Terceira April 5, with loss of two anchors and cables. By letters from Brest, dated 15th inst., it appears that during a tremethious gale on the preceding night, the Russian barque Delphine, Hall, which •ailed hence with Portuguese refugees, was struck by a heavy sea, which broke her bowsprit, damaged her fore-topmast, fore-yard, &c. The Susan, Nichol son, of this port, also sustained some damage at the same time. .....

The decline in the Funds is ascribed partly to two causes—uncertainty as to the plans of Minis ters, and the general depression throughout the country. Nothing will so much relieve trade, agriculture, and manufactures, as a modified Property Tax of four or five per cent., and a re duction of the Assessed and other taxes. The one would infuse vigour into every department of the State, while the other would relieve the country from its most oppressive burdens. The weather having moderated, we have re ceived the French Papers of Monday and Tues day, and the Gazette de France of Wednesday's date. Their contents are divided between stric tures upon the imbecility of the Ministry, whose removal is strongly recommended, and the affairs of the East. The Journal des Debats recommends a dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, either immediately or as soon as the business of the Session is disposed of. Its reason for recom mending the adoption of this plan is—" the fluctuating character of the majority of the Chamber—and the impossibility of foreseeing what will be its decision on any measure sub mitted to its consideration." Now this variable character of the Chamber must either arise from Ministers not possessing its confidence, or from the majority of the Chamber having no cordial bond of union to determine a particular line of conduct. Public opinion must be in a certain state of abeyance or repose, otherwise an impetus would be given to the majority of the Chamber which would have a corresponding influence on the Ministry, and a resignation on the one hand, or a decided plan of operations on the other, would be the natural consequence. The Constitutionnel speaks in round terms of the imbecility of the Ministry, which, it says, pro ceeds at hazard, and without system, neither taking council of its fears, nor the want of confidence which exists in France, while great events are preparing in Europe. " Austria," it says, " is in arms— England is preparing to interfere in the quarrels of the East, as soon as the decisive moment shall arrive. Already she has sent some distiNguisbed Officers, with artillery and stores of all kinds, to the Dardanelles. Tranquil in her domestic affairs, since the emancipation of Ireland, the British Ministry has taken an im posing attitude, and views with perfect calmness the storm which is gathering in the political horizon. What a fine character France was destined to fill in the great drama of the world ! If our Ministers had done their duty, they would have strengthened them selves by the national unanimity which exists ; the occasion was favourable, and of a nature which could scarcely escape the most common understanding. France felt the imperious ne cessity of the departmental and municipal or ganization. But it was not a ministerial fiction, it was the reality which she wanted. Had Ministers exhibited a spirit of conciliation, all obstacles would have vanished ; the nation would have had confidenee in the future, which confi dence would have raised the national strength to a high degree." But Ministers did not act thus wisely—they withdrew the Departmental sod Municipal laws, and thereby " insulted the Chamber while they wounded the national sentiment." Their pre cipitation, we are told, has answered the purpose beyond " all hope of the Cabinets of Vienna and St, James'e; they could not have acted otherwise had they been inspired by Prince METTERNICH. They are at since disarmed, without consistency, without the least influence over the destinies of Europe." The French Minister:, ilave, no doubt, acted very impru dently ; but no party has yet acquired strength enough to displace them. Their present policy seems to partake of that doubtful character which inclines neither to good nor evil ; but they must rouse from their slumbers, and assume more energy , or they will provoke the indignation of the people, without retaining the good will of the Chamber, or the confidence of their Royal Master. Indecision will neither do in love nor in war—and the Ministers have now some experience t hat it will not do in politics. They must— " Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen." German Papers of the 24th April have been received. Their contents present a gloomy pic ture of the privations at Constantinople from the scarcity of provisions. The news from the Turkish fortresses on the Danube is also very unfavourable from the same cause, and the severity of the weather. General Count DIEBITSCII, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army, has moved in advance, having transferred his head-quarters from Jassy to Is saktchi on the 30th March. Hostilities may therefore be expeted to recommence on a large scale, without delay : FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, APRIL S. The scarcity of bread at Constantinople has' become so dreadfully great, that in the distribution only one loaf comes to three persons. In our province, too, and parti cularly in Bucharest, provisions of all kinds are daily growing dearer, and in Little Wallachia is much greater, so that for some time p ist the people have mixed bark of trees with bran. General Geismar has, in consequence, been negoeiating with Austrian contractors to supply his troops with provisions. The garrison of Silistria equally suffers from the extreme scarcity of provisions, and it was lately asserted that part of the troops had left the fortress to seek subsistence elsewhere. The number of the Turkish troops assembled about Widdin is estimated at 5.0,000 men, and great apprehensions are entertained at Crajova of a visit from the dreaded guests. The sudden overflow ing of the Danube is said to have done great damage along the banks, and to have cast the lives of many persons. Chiurgevis in particular is said to have suffered ; but no official reports on this subject have been received. Count Tolluschin, the Governor of the Principalities, returned a few days ago from Jassy to Bucharest, and Count Diebitsch, the Commander-in-Chief, is likewise ex pected there for a few days. A French Paper, received by the Mail this morning, contains an official document on the state of the French Finances, or Budget. The expenditure of 1828, in all the various branches, has exceeded the estimate ; and the 54 millions of francs out of the 80 millions voted last Ses sion as an extraordinary supply, have been ex pended, leaving only 26 millions for the extra ordinary expenditure of 1829, which, it is said, will be equally large as that of 1828. The pro posed expenditure on the Naval Department amounts to as much as that voted for our Navy, and is more than double the cost of the French Marine during the American war. This speaks something. The French circulating medium is to be re coined. Its amount is about 1,200 millions of francs—being nearly 47 millions sterling. It is said in Paris that the English Cabinet gives increasing cause for suspicion to Russia, who has now two Ambassadors here besides a host of Subaltern Agents, watching for all sorts of information, which they transmit to St. Pet e rsb u rgh The Lovers of Music will be glad to know that Mademoiselle SONTAG will make her first appearance to-morrow at Guildhall, in aid of the Benefit for the Distressed Weavers of Spital fields. This being her first appearance this season in London, it is hoped that curiosity, if not charity, will induce thousands to be present, who will enjoy the double satisfaction of hearing Mdlle. SONTAG, while, at the same time, they contribute to the relief of a very distressed, but very deserving body of men. PERFORMANCE ATI GUILDHALL, TO-MORROW MORNING, for the BENEFIT of the DISTRESSED WEAVERS of SPITALFIELDS. The Comtaktee have great pleasure in announcing, that Mademoiselle SONTAG (being her first Public *lot:M ance in London this Season) has, in the kindest Manner possible, consented to give her gratuitous aid upon - this charitable occasion, and will accordingly sing at the end of the first part oe-the Oratorio. Tickets for the Patrons' Seats (entrance at the Door of the Court of King's Bench) can only be ohtsitted through the application of Patrons or Patronesses.

PLANTATION SUCARS.—The market continues to be very sparingly supplied with the good qualities, which are much in request, and are taken off freely when shown at full prices; but the inferior sorts, of which the show at present chiefly consists, go off very languidly, and prices are barely maintained: this, however, may in a greet mea sure be attributed to the extensive sales of Mauritius Sugar which are brought forward, as they consist principally of those qualities ; upwards of 15,000 bags were offered yesterday, of which the greater part was disposed of ; for to-morrow and next week there are about 16,000 bags more advertised : 150 hhds.

REPINED SUGARS.-Although there is au appearance of excessive flatness in the market, there are buyers parti cularly of low good, but at the present quoted prices, which are a shade below those of last week ; in the middling descriptions also there is business doing, as some sales of Crashed have been made this week ; of fine Hantburgh loaves for shipping the stock has rather accumulated, and purchases could be made on lower terms : the fine grocery goods are also a very heavy sale. COFBES..Two public sales of Plantation were brought forward yesterday, consisting chiefly of the fine ordinary and middling descriptions of new Jamaica, which met with but a limited demand, and prices were again about 2s. lower; to-day, however another sale was brought forward, consisting of the same qualities, when nearly the whole was bought in at 2.. a 3s. above the prices obtained yesterday: fur the few lots of ordinary offered, rather higher prices were given.

FRUIT.—Of new Valentia Raisins a very extensive sale has been made this week, (about 10,000 boxes), at 405., which price being excessively low, has brought on a good demand; in other descriptions there is no alteration to notice; but, upon the whole, there has been rather more inquiry this week. spoßTlNG.—otEcEivEp TIIIS DAY.) t BATH AND BRISTOL RACES.

(From the Court-Newman.) The day appointed for the celebration of his Majesty's birth-day is St. George's-day, as being more in the London season, and affording a more Opportune encouragement to trade and the.'manitfactures of the country than would its celebration on the 12th of August, which is the King's natal-day. This year, however, St. George's-day fell in the Easter week, when the Parliament invariably adjourned for some time, and very many of the higher orders gene rally take this opportunity to retire into the country. His Majesty was in consequence graciously pleased to postpone celebrating the day by not bolding a Court until yesterday. In the morning a brigade guard, consisting of detachments from the three regiments of Foot Guards, mounted on the parade in St. James's-park. The respective bands of the three regiments assembled on this occasion in their full state regimentals ; the number of wind-instruments was about 100. Their peforinance commenced with the na tional anthem, the solo parts by one of the toasters on the clarionet ; this was followed by the overture to Oberon, Napoleon's Coronation March, and the Duke of York's last march. The guard was inspected by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as Colonel of the First Regiment of Foot Guards. The colours were then trooped, and the menmart:bed - off to their different guards—those intended for the King's guard received the state colours, and pro ceeded to St. James's Palace. They 'marched into the Palace-yard, the bands pla)ing the Duke of York's old march. During their halt at the Palace, several beauti ful pieces were performed witk'admirable skill, including the overtures to La Gazza Ladra, II Barbiere di Se viglia, and Tancredi. They continued plii)ing after the King's guard had been relieved. The excellent and judicious arrangements about the Palace for the ingress and egress of the comp%uy, which were observed at the Levee, were renewed. As on former occasions of this kind, the King was pleased to grant a suspension of the order for appearing in Court mourning, and notices were accordingly issued front the Lord Cham berlain's office. A party of Life-Guards arrived at half-past one, and occupied the space opposite Marlborough-house, pre ceded by their band of near 30 performers, dressed in their state regimentals: they played delightfully daring the whole of the day. About half-past one the Palace doors were opened, and for the first hour and a half the company arrived in great numbers.
