FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Ciambres.) PARIS, AUG. 18.—The Duke de Chartres arrived here yesterday morning from London. INDEMNITY TO THE CLERGY. We yesterday copied an article from the Courier des Electeurs relative to a project for indemnifying the clergy. Though the information given by that paper is in substance correct, the mode in which it will be carried into execution is wholly inaccurate. The substance of the statement is as follows :—" It is certain—and the short-robed Jesuits no longer make a mystery of it—that one of the preparatory measures which the faction expect from the new Ministry is an indemnity for the property of the clergy which was confiscated in virtue of the revolu tionary laws." The Gazette, delighted at the idea of being able, for once at least, to give a contradiction founded upon an appearance of reason, hastened to reply to the statement in these terms : " Where is the person who is not aware that the abandonment of church property in France was con sented to by the Pope and the Bishops, and conse quently Is consummated, and that the 35,000,000 carried to the state budget for the clergy, form, in fact,an indemnity for the property which they lost The Gazette is right. The idea of retrieving old endowments by the aid of a thousand millions of francs is no longer the order of the day, or at least it is postponed till better times; for mortmain is equally applicable in respect to the priesthood ; it is an in alienable possession, which is transmitted to poste rity, like the fisherman's ring : the church postpones but never abandons. But the words of the ministe rial Journal ought not, like the thunderbolt in its fall to the ground, to be lost in the soil; and there fore let us re-peruse the last part of the sentence, for it portends much for the future. Yes, the 35,000,000 carried to the state budget do, indeed, form an indemnity for the property which they lost, and it is this sum which must be rendered immovable, at whatever price. Happily, we do not live in those calamitous times, when religion itself was menaced, and we shall never again have occasion to witness them. Let the clergy form an integral part of the people whom they are called upon to console; but let them not exalt themselves over every thing and every body. This, however, is what those who now hold the reigns of monarchy desire. The Gazette in a few lines predicts what the future will bring forth. Yes, it is in contemplation to make the expence of maintaining the Catholic faith figure perpetually in the budget, and to found a civil list for the clergy. And—repeat all the echoes of the party—is it not shameful to see the church annually holding out its hand to the nation ? Is it not frightful to think that the caprice of a majority of Jews or Dissenters, and even Atheists, may, by some trick or scrutiny, destroy the free exercise of religion in France ? Do you dare each year, in the face of day, to bring God before an earthly tribunal ? No, gentlemen, do not be uneasy; banish those fears, which are so loudly proclaimed only to frighten the weak-minded. Do not any longer lend your support to that divine Christianity, which certainly does not stand in need of it ; and do not be uneasy about the interests of the faithful people and your own. As to principles, the majorities may now make grave attacks upon them, it is true ; but they would be powerless when made upon the wants of masses. The majorities would stand no more chance of destroying the church than the army the tribunals, and the admi nistration itself. If it was possible to read your hearts, another fear would be discovered there. It would be seen that your fear of majorities is, that they would distinguish wants from prodigality, and establish an equal distribution of the just tribute to the state. Thus let us endeavour to avert this future while fortune favours us, and let us begin by making sure of a clear and unincumbered revenue of 35,000,000, without imposts or rents, but do not let us ask for it in the funds. This would be wise, for they may fall or rise according to the degree of public confi dence; and, besides, in whose name could we in scribe diem in the Treasury ? Thanks to the antiquated s; stem that every thing comes home and nothing goes out, we good contri butors may hope in our old days to see again esta blished those old monasteries with their little sur rounding kingdoms; and that day, if the measure were adopted, may not be so far off as may be ima gined. We have before said, the endowments mul tiply in an enormous progression ; and, master of so many millions of which they would give no account, the clergy might have used that economy in their expenses against which they cry out so much when we desire it. Gradually their immense capital would bring to them all property; one by one the fields would re vert to them. The woods would resist longer, per haps, but they would at last cede to the attraction of this immense body. Then vassalage would again rise up of right upon the soil; for, being no longer able to purchase an humble field for his family, the labourer would be force to sell his labour to his un removable proprietor, and wotdd become l'honinte liege de son Abbe". Thus, by this single measure, the clergy would Thus, be raised to the rank of kings, for they would divide an immense prerogative, that of a perpetual endow ment, and, master of the half of France, which they could feudalize as they pleased; they would continue to make the rest of the inhabitants pay a tithe of 35,000,000, without reckoning another sum of 30,000,000 which the clergy receives from vari ous sources, independent of the budget. It will then be for the Chamber of Peers to consider if it is worth while to purchase by such sacrifices the ad vantage of hearing it said that the misfortunes of the revolution have been slightly alleviated. Accounts from Naples, dated Aug. 2, give reason to hope that the unfortunate Galotti will be sent back to Corsica ; but it seems that a decree of per petual proscription will be issued against him. In the absence of the King, it is said, the functions of the Lieutenant of the Kingdom will be exercised by the Prince of Salerno. A great deal of gold coin has beet: struck to supply the expences of the jour ney of the Xing and Queen, who, it is known, are. about to accompany their daughter to Spain. M. Courvoisier has not arrived at Paris; as was thought ; and the courier who was appointed to be the bearer of his nomination, found him at Luxeuil. It is said that M. Courvoiser was very dilatory in giving his answer to the despatches, and that it was undcr.stood he had some private business to transact at Lyons before lie set out for Paris. The same courier wag charged with another despatch for M. Guernon de Ranville, Procureur-General at Gre noble, who would have been appointed Keeper of the Seals in the event of the refusal of M. Courveisier. (From the Journal des Debate of Wednesday.) It is said that, alarmed at the noble refusal of Admiral de Rigny, the Ministry of Bourdonnaye- Polignac is already (hiving M. de Chribrol from the hotel Rivoli to the Marine, and opening negocia tions with M. de Berbis, for the purpose of induc ing him to accept the portfolio - of the Finances, A man so justly esteemed by the Chamber as M. de Berbis will not, without doubt, hesitate in rejecting solicitations - Which have been unsuccessfully made to men of worth, honour, and capacity. It would be an ill-understood sentiment of devotedness which would induce him to confide in the guarantee of a Ministry which is shunned by the unanimous cry of France. This would be to ruin oneself without saving the Ministry. (From the ConstitutionneL) MIRACLE OF PROVIDENCE. The following passages are extracted from the official paper of the counter-revolutionary faction, the chiefs of which have been just called to govern France. This paper is called " The Apostolical, a religious and ecclesiastical Journal." “ R e ligion, disconsolate and . persecuted for the last forty years, demanded with loud cries a new or der of things. For forty years all the Govern- meets anl Ministries which have existed in France, instead of protecting, have persecuted religion. The last Ministry, in particular, committed grave faults, and retired with the malediction of God. It is no use to mince the matter : the source of the evil is to be found in an impious and atheistical charter, arid in the thousands of laws conceived and drawn up, either by men w:lhou! faith and religion, or by revo lutionists. _ Justice, reason, and God himself, command the extinction of these infamous codes, prodigies of im piety, whi .11 hell has vomited on France. The King of Piedmont and Sardinia, the King Don ive furnished an example of the beautiful and excellent in Government. Happy the Kings ! happy the Governments, that shall follow their example! " The change that has just taken place covers with joy the friends of religion and Me Monarchy. Let us implore God that he may finish what has been begun." Here is a Ministerial Journal, which does not . play the hypocrite, like the Quotidienne; there is no evil over its thoughts; it frankly announces what the faction aims at, and what it flatters itself it will be able to obtain, with the aid of God, and that of Messrs. Bourmont, La Bourdonnaye, and Mangin. It is a miracle of Providence which has created the new Ministry, in order to dry tip the source of the evils which flow from /In impious and Atheistical Charter. The times are not yet ripe to finish the miracle ; but, patience ! the miracle-workers are going to begin, and when it will be least expected, the prodigy will make its appearance quite perfect. STATISTICS OF THE CHAMBERS. The Chamber of Peers, as constituted at present, is composed of 335 members, of whom 327 can take part in its deliberations. The last Session never offered a higher number than 235 Peers pre sent, but, as the next will be signalised by a violent and decisive struggle, .few Peers will fail to attend to the call of honour and the country. Therefore, in the first important discussion, 280 Members may be confidently expected. Let us now see what pro portion of these the new Ministers can promise themselves. The calculations I am going to offer are as near the truth as possible. Upon the promotions of the 20th October, 1822, 12th February, 9th October, and 23d December, 1823 (in all 41), the Ministers are sure to obtain 24 votes—upon the batch of .sth November, 1827, 59 votes—upon that of 4th January, 1828,3 votes. Moreover, M. de Polignac, always supposing that the Court will vote for him, may make sure, amongst the Peers composing the household of the King and those attached to the establishments of the Princes, 30 votes. ThUs the Ministry can count upon 116 votes at most, out of 280; and in this calculation I have not at all taken into consideration the powerful and unavoidable influence of the Chamber of De puties upon the Upper Chambers. In the next number I shall give the statistics of the Chamber of Deputies, when it will appear more evident that a Ministerial majority is an absolute impossibility. (From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.) PARIS, AUG. 18.—The friends of the new Mi nistry are making post haste to offer them their sup port. The Archbishop of Toulouse is arrived to day, from Dieppe, at Paris. His Eminence evan gelically travelled post in a coach and six. A cou rier who preceded the Prelate had a violent fall near St. Germain ; he broke several ribs, and was con veyed to Paris without any hopes of his i ecovery.

Since the Council of Sunday, the Gazette has received ex press commands to preach union and concord. The Quotidienne must assume a milder tone; and M. INlangin himself is to protest that lie is determined to walk in the footsteps of his predecessors. It is said that the choice of the Minister of Ma rine is agreed upon, unless an Admiral, of high re putation, can be prevailed upon to accept it. It is supposed that M. Chabrol will return to this depart ment ; then the question would be about the choice of a Minister of Finances. THE MINISTERIAL COUNTERSIGN. " Be moderate at first," said the Duke of Wel lington to M. de Polignac ; and the watchword, with respect to circulars, the articles in the Quotidienne and Gazette, is moderation. M. de la Bourdonhaye has opened the march with his banner. M. Mangin has just rallied under it. His entering into posses sion has been signalized by a discourse, which is all sugar and all honey. M. Mangin is no longer the man of Poictiers—the conversion is complete; he is, to hear him, a man inimical to arbitrary proceed ings ! and he quitted the first Court in the kingdom with the intention alone of bringing to the Prefec ture of Police the benefits of legal rule. To pro tect order by means the most regular—to watch over the safety of all the citklins—such is the device of the successor of MJ.de Belleyme, such is the task he has undertaken to accomptsh. Has M. Mangin known an Attorney-General who said to an Advocate, " My Jury !—I am sure of my Jury !—if I were to ask them for as many heads as I pleased, they would let me have them !" In case M. Mangin should know him, we would engage the Police Magistrate to send his paternal address to the Magistrate of the Court. A letter from London announces to us that the press has commenced in Northumberland, Cumber land, Devonshire, &c. It is said that 12 sail of the line, 15 frigates, and 20 smaller vessels, are to be got ready for sea by the middle of September. The greatest bustle prevails at Chatham, Plymouth, and Portsmouth, Every thing announces a maritime ex pedition. FIERAIANSTADT, AUtl. 6,”--The plague always making progress in the Principalities, a fourth sana tory cordon is going to be established. FRANKFORT, AUG. I3.—(Extract of a private letter.)—The news of the Ministerial revolution, which has just taken place in France has produced here a sensation which it is difficult to describe. It is a real consternation; not that we had a very par ticular predilection for the Martignac Administra tion; but that we saw in it a species of guarantee fur our own security, which at present is compro mised by the new order of things. The future is the subject of much speculation ; and our diploma tists are lost in a maze of hypotheses to solve the questions wh; . cli crowd upon the mind. The new Ministry appear to tic, here, as at Paris, an inspira tion of the British Cabinet; and it is precisely in this point of view that it is to us a subject of such lively alarm, because we do not want revolutions amongst our neighbours, nor war at our own door. (From the Gazette de France.) ERRATUM OF TIIE NEWSPAPER• Several Jomnals have stated that M. Vie.or Hugo has refused a pension of 6,000 francs* (250/,' (From the Journal des rebuts.) The Procureur du Roi has caused the proprietor and printer of a Parisian Journal, intitled L' Apos tongue, a Religious rola Ecclesiastical Journal, to be summoned before the Comctional Police of the Seine, at its Sitting on Wednes4ay, the 26th of August, ag being guilty of an attack on the rights guaranteed by tic : sth Article of the Constitutio.ual Charter, respecting religious liberty, published in that paper of the 14th of August, under the title of " Miracles of Providence." PARIS, AUG. 18.—We compare neither men run. measures, but what could France do now, when, seeing men start into office, who, for air last 15 years past, li4y e had a hand in all its misfortunes, disturbances, and tjoisers? Do you wish that * M. Victor Hugo enjoys alretady a pension of 2,000 francs on the Ilonse Department, and another pension of 2,000 francs on the Intendeucy of the King's Household; Without wishing to detract from the disinterestedness of M. Victor Hugo, we must observe that it is only an aug mentation of 2,000 francs which - he refused. We like wise beg our readers to remark, that with the ifinistry M. Victor Hugo has taken to birozelf the merit of a gene rous Royalisin, w'uilst with the Liberals he has that of a disdainful refusal a course of proceeding not badly planned fur a poet.

France should forget what these men have been, in order to see what they will become as Minister s ? We do not judge the conscience of Ministers; we feel even a generous pleasure in acknowledgi ng that there was honour at Coblentz, since our Princes were there. Yes, without the defection at Waterloo, there might have been fidelity, conscience, and de. votedness in the rigours of 1815. But between Coblentz and France there are 30 years of old and new standing grievan :es ; between Waterloo and France there are fourteen years of painful recollec tions, and between 1815 and France fourteen years of resentments and disquietude. Who is to efface these? Who can change the hearts of the people ? It is in vain that Coblentz exclaims that it has pardoned liberty, that Waterloo says it is proud of our glory, that 1815 boasts of its pacific disposition and clemency ; for who believes them ? (" Cob lentz" stands here probably for Prince Polignac; " Waterloo" for Count Bourmont; and " 1815" for La Bourdonnaye.) And when has this wonder ful conversion taken place ? Was it ten years or five years ago? No, only yesterday, or the day before yesterday at farthest ;—on the threshold of the Ministry, on the floor of the Cabinet—the place of all others where grace acts with the greatest efficacy.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1829• The rapid and masterly movements of Genera', DIEBITSCH give a new character of interest an! importance to the war beyond the Balkan, for i is now clear that if the Turks could not prevent the passage of that " impregnable " barrier, where one man might oppose a hundred, they have no earthly chance on the plains of Adrianople against the well organized legions of Russia, now flushed with conquest, and marching forward with a contemptuous disregard of their fugitive foes. — We had been told for the last six months that there was an army of 60,000 men on the plains of Adrianople, besides the force at Bourgas— and the " immense levies en masse" which were hourly collecting—so immense, indeed, that they have not yet had time or space to make their appearance but upon paper, or in the credulous imagination of the Faithful ! But no sooner have the Russians crossed the Balkan—capturing every fortress and strong hold in their way, a nd securing their communication with the coast — than we are told the Turks are using the most g igantic exertions to recruit their armies, while the SLIpTAN has ordered Adrianople to be for tified—the outworks of Constantino F le to be strengthened, and such like absurd preparations ; all which, be it remembered , were ordered to be done last campaign 1 The truth is that the Turks have been all along resting too secure in the conceit of their own strength—and the weak ness of their enemy. But behold the conse quence. The army of the Danube is almost at the gates of Constantinople—while the army of Asia is moving forward like the sand of the desert—slow, but overwhelming every obstacle in its way. The Turks have now no alternative but submission, and if they continue stubborn against reason, and the advice of their best friends, why then they suffer accordingly, for they will waken from their dreams of fatality too late. By an arrival at Liverpool from Charleston, we learn that the expedition destined against Mexico had actually sailed from the Havannah on - the sth of .Tuly. General BARRADOS has published a ridiculous proclamation to the inha bitants of Mexico, which is likely to have as much effect as the force of his arms. If any of the 3,500 men ever escape to the Havannah, we shall be surprised. By the Brazil mail which arrived this morn- ing we have received the Diario Fluminense, from the 18th to 25th June inclusive, which is chiefly filled with the proceedings of the two Chambers, and Ordinances of the Government of a local nature. The Chamber of Senators has before it " a project of law relative to the rights of foreigners residing in the Empire." Some of the articles are stated to have been agreed to, and some amendments proposed, which were to be considered afterwards. The 12th Article was passed in the following terms :---" The foreigner may freely publish his opinion, being answerable for abuses according to law." The tenor of the other Articles is not given. In the sitting of the 12th June, a messenger from the Minister of Foreign Affairs announced that his Majesty the EMPEROR had found him self under the necessity of giving to the Mar quis DE S. JOAO a commission out of the em pire, for the service of the State ; the Marquis DE AIIACATY requested that no time might be lost, as the matter was of immediate import ance, it was:considered on the instant, and leave given to that Senator to go on the intended mission. The Chamber of Deputies has been engaged Ln discussing a project of law relative to the Bank. The report of the Co►nmittee of the Constitu- Lion on the conduct of the Minister of Justice, with respect to the affair at Pernambuco, had given rise to a long debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the 11th and 12th June, on which days Senors MARIA and CLEMENTE PEREIRA spoke at great length in favour of the report. — The conclusion is not given, as the proceedings of the Chamber are not brought down later than the 12th. A correspondent in the Times of yesterday, if his information be correct, throws a very new and important light on the causes which led to the sudden change in the French Ministry. That cause is stated to have no connection with the policy of England, or with the European s3stem of politics. But the motive is singular, and connected with the bigotry of the Tuileries. If so—if we may credit the fact that the King of France, acting under the influence of the High Church Party, has dismissed his Ministers, be cause they resisted the domineering and intolerant spirit of the new POPE—we think his MAJESTY has so far compromised the stability of the House of Bourbon on the throne of France. His Most Christian MAJESTY should recollect—and the voice of adversity has no such soothing balsam for the mind—his M AJESTY should strive to recollect some fragments of his earlier life—what it was that debarred him and his family from the joys of sovereign dominion, and that the folly which had once misled the erring flock, might mislead it again beyond the power of redemption. The ifluence of the Priests first impoverished, and then widowed France. From one extreme her people rushed to another—from slavery, they plunged into barbarism, bloody and as unrelenting as the evil genius of their ghostly confessors. What has been the consequence ?—Let the de molished throne of bigotry—the precarious dy nasty of the Bourbons answer. Surely the Bourbons have paid too dearly—have suffered too keenly already—to listen again to the insidious whispers of implacable confessors —men, whose sole aim it is to obtain dominion, at whatever sacrifice, to their deluded victims. If the new French Ministry has actually crept into power in the manner here described, their continuance in office will be as brief as their accession has been disgraceful C 4 Th e new Pope, on his instalment to the chair of St. Peter, issued a Bull, according to usage, addressed to the Catholic Church, but in his communication with France he accompanied it with a circular (lettre encyclique), sent to the Bishops and Archbishops of France. This Bull and this letter, worthy of the dark ages, repeated the anethemas against every religious sect which the spread of knowledge has established, con demning every liberal institution, and expressing , a hatred of constitution a l and popular govern ment. The French Ministry could not autho rize the publication of this Bull but with the usual reserve of protesting against whatever it contained hostile to the Gallican church, and contrary to the laws of the State. As to the letter, which was more violent than the Bull, they could not permit its publication and circu lation ; and both the Council of State as well as the Ministry condemned it in the strongest French terms. This condu c t on th e p ar t o f the Government excited the anger of the high church party, who, infuriated, sought the King, and represented to him that such conduct was an attack upon religion itself,—an insult to the Pope ;—that the Ministers thereby had placed themselves under the interdict of the Pope, and must be considered as excommunicated ; and that consequently his Majesty could have no further intercourse with them. The King, alarmed and overcome by these menaces which were strength ened by the solicitations and loud complaints of the whole ultra party, was induced to consent to the immediate dismissal of the French Adminis tration, and at once he sent for Prince Polignac to give him his orders for the formation of a new one. The order was instantly obeyed. Without any previous communication Messrs. Portalis and Bourdeau were sent for to St. Cloud. On their arrival, the King announced to the former, that he desired to appoint him First President of the Court of Cassation, and as this charge was incompatible with that of Minister for Foreign Affairs, he expected that he would resign that office. M. Portalis at once assented, with a low reverence ; and M. Bourdeau, as Garde des Sceaux, without any observation being made to him, was ordered to sign the ordinance appoint ing Prince Polignac Minister for Foreign Affairs. These Ministers were thunderstruck at the com mand, and immediately after the signature of M. Bourdeau was given, they were dismissed from the Royal presence. " Monsieur Bourdeaux, on his return to Paris, waited on Monsieur Martignac, and re ported to him this extraordinary and unexpected occurrence, to which Monsieur Martignac at first would give no credence, considering the re lation to be a fiction, and was only convinced by Monsieur Bourdeaux's assurance of his hav ing himself signed the ordinance. " These two personages now wart on Mons. le Roi, whose astonishment was equal to their own, but who soon after received an official note from Prince Polignac, announcing the change of Ministry. " The new Cabinet was so hastily formed, that only three of the Ministers, named Polig nac, Bourmont, and La Bourdonnaye, had any knowledge of the King's intentions ; the others were appointed in total ignorance of the affair, and absent from Paris. Thus was formed an Administration which may lead to the most frightful consequences." We direct attention to a letter copied from the Morning Herald, touching the Margate " hum bug" meeting of Wednesday last, at which every thing was misrepresented, and nothing fairly told, but that the number of visitors had most mate rially fallen off—a loss, for which the good people of Margate have only to thank the extortionate imposition of the Pier-dues. Just think of 78,000 people in one season paying two shillings each for landing, and two shillings more for embarking from that precious pier ! It is amusing to witness the squabblings that are now daily taking place among our Morning and Evening cotemporaries. In the absence of more important matters—his Grace of NEW CASTLE having after a lengthened fall reached his proper level, and Mr. SADLER'S eloquence, like Mr. ex-Sheriff PARKINS'S Exchequer Bills being at a discount—they set-to and worry each other to pieces, after the fashion of the Irish cats, who, blest with memorable appetites, ate each other up with a zeal respectable from its rarity. In the first place, we have the Morning Journal rating the Courier for its venality ; secondly, the Courier accusing the Morning Journal of falsehood ; and thirdly, the Morn ing Post charging both with impudence—a novel accusation, and one singularly inapplicable to the Press. Meantime, while these enter. tainments are going forward, the allies of both parties enter the field, and from the very nature of things, take an active part in the contest. It is impossible for an Englishman to witness a fight, and not feel a strong desire to give his neighbour a black eye. It is an amiable weakness ; and accordingly the Standard, smit with the preva lent pugnacity, hastens to join the belligerents, doubling up the Post, flooring the Courier, and even venturing to square at the Journal, with the most good-humoured indifference possible. To increase the confusion, the very Sunday Papers themselves enter the lists, one of which, discovering that all otheer charges are exhausted, accuses the Editors of the Cou rier of lunching off paving -stones, and washing them down with pots of beer, angled for out of a three pair of stairs window, thereby de ducing, with a logic worthy of St. Luke's, their incompetency to edit the Journal in ques tion ! Of a verity, these literary squabblings redound greatly to the honour of the Press ! They prove its possession of a more than human sagacity, especially as they occur at a period when the most momentous events are on the work throughout Europe—when France has changed its a dministration ; when England, ac cording to our cotemporaries' own accounts, is in embarrassed circumstances ; and when the present aspect of affairs in the East bids fair, at no very distant period, to change the destinies of the world.
