FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Worn the Moniteur of Saturday, April 25. ) The official part of the Moniteur contains two 'Royal Ordinances : " Charles, &c. " I. Our Cousin, the Duke de Laval Montrno? rency, Peer of France, Minister of State, and Member of our Privy Council, is appointed Minister Secret tary of State for the Department of Foreign Affairi; in the room of the Comte de la Ferronays, ♦whose re s'gnation Ive have accepted." " Charles, &c. _ " 2. The Comte de la Ferrottays, Peer of France; is appointed Minister of State and Member of our Privy Council." These Ordinances are both dated April 24, and: addressed in the usual form to the Keeper of the Seals. [The Messager des Chanibres of Saturday, and the Gazette de France, dated Sunday, contain no foreign news.] (From the Courier Francais of Saturday.) PARIS, APRIL 24.—N0 one can suppose that the elevation of the Due de Laval to the department of Foreign Affairs can be intended as definitive. The most that can be supposed is, that his continuance in office will be of the same duration as that of the present Minister, which, perhaps, is not foretelling a long teign. Many of those who are willing to do justice to the private qualities of the Due de Laval think that he would have refused the office, but for a singlar complication of interests. They make this presump tion on the ground of his incapacity of speaking in the Chamber, and of giving any explanation with respect to the office which he has accepted. After every thing that has transpired as to the previous intentions of M. de Chateaubriand, it is asked what will he think of this new Leader, who was his predecessor at Rome ? Aad what will he decide as to his own position ? They also ask whether at the expiration of the leave of absence, which he has obtained, he will consent to return to that city, or have some compensation in its stead ? As to the rest, if the Due de Laval accepts the office of M. de la Ferronays, he will be of no sort of strength to the present Ministry ; he has taken no part in our assemblies, nor in any way distinguished himself in public. His three Embassies were only given to him on account of his name, and merely afforded three ordinary occasions, without any po litical consequences. He will leave things and parties, both at home and abroad, in that slatu quo of which he took some lessons from Prince Metter nich, while at Vienna. This is not what France expects. Who would have imagined that a Minister, who wants so much moral and auxiliary power to supply his own defi ciency, would have confided the direction of our foreign affairs to such public hands, in the midst of the fresh storms which are making their appearance in the Mediterranean and in the East ? (From the Journal des Debats of Szturday.) PARIS, APRIL 24.—The Due de Laval is named the successor of M. de la Ferronays. After all the doubts and all the rumours that have agitated the public, the name of M. de Laval has at length been chosen. Great is the surprise of France at this election, and still greater, we believe, will be that of our Am bassador, when the news shall reach Vienna. M. de Laval is a man of great moderation and modesty; he has identified himself with no party or coteries; for this reason we think that he will find his office too laborious in these dangerous times, and under a Minister already old. The position of the Minister has become very embarrassing. Certain hostility on one side or the other of the Chamber at home, and the imminent approach of events which .may derange the whole equilibrium of Europe abroad, serve to render it so; and it requires more than ordinary courage and zeal to accept a responsible part in the Government of France: Will not these considerations press themselves upon a de Laval ? And if to these are added the scruples to which his modesty will give rise, and the fear of not being sufficiently strong for such a re. sponsibility, may it not be presumed that he will not risk the changing his title of Ambassador to a great Power for the uncertain office of Minister in a Ca binet which has not the power to do as it pleases ? If, however, contrary to our surmises, he should accept the office, he cannot be here before the 15th May, so that we should have another prolonged in terim of some weeks. If M. de Laval should refuse, it will give rise to fresh embarrassments, and this Portfolio must revert to Nl.Portalis, who will then have the responsibility of two weighty offices. This state of things must give rise to disquiet. Russia organising in silence immense armaments, and England freeing herself from the enormous weight of religious slavery in Ireland, are circum stances sufficient to disturb our foreign relations, while without a Minister to represent and carry into effect our future policy. We do not wish to be prophets of evil, but the appro::ching epoch is full of uncertainty, and it needs no great wisdom to foresee that the face of Europe may change at a stroke. If such an event should take us by surprise in the middle of the interim of which we just spoke, what shall we do ? This question is sufficient to explain our surprise, and even our inquietude, at seeing the choice fall on a man— honourable, but whose election still leaves open the eternal question of an interim. The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of the 24th of April, agreed to the " Projet de Loi," con cerning the Peerage Pensions.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 2.5.—0ur situation has become much worse during the last three weeks. The dearness and scarcity of bread increase so much, in consequence of the ruinous blockade, that the people, in their despair, begin to murmur loudly. The Ulemas and Military Chiefs seem to be very much dissatisfied. A Erman, containing new regu lations for dress, by which many thousands are thrown out of employment, has increased the dis content to the highest degree. Only the Sultan, whose departure is delayed in consequence of this state of things, continues to forward all his military preparations and other measures of security with his wonted energy, He appears every where laeognito, and neglects nothing to preserve the pub lic tranquillity during this terrible crisis. But should an explosion take place, the most frightful excesses may be expected; for it is not to be for gotten that the great mass of the Mussulmen, in their present distress, believe that there is a general combination against Mahometanism. At one of the late masquerades, in the hotel of Bards Ottenfels. the Austrian Internuncio, at Pera, there were two Arab masks. Nobody imagined that they were, as afterwards proved to be the case, the Sultan himself, accompanied by his favourite Berber Baschi. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26.—The Sultan has not left the capital, but the preparations for his de parture continue. The increasing alarms probably have had some influence. It is known that the Russians have landed at Incada, twenty-seven leagues from the capital. A great nut,iber of fugitive Turks have arrived from that place, and communicated their fears to the inhabitants. The capital, it is true, has nothing . to fear from such attacks on dif ferent parts of thee t; bat they are evidently de. signed to excitetzlarms in the already tineantented minds of the people, and will, most probably, not miss their object. The scarcity of bread become; more serious ; the caravan from Smyrna does not arrive, and prices rise daily. For thirty-two months the people have borne all with great patience, but there is no prospect of a termination of their dis tress. The Sultan does his utmost to meet the dangers from without ; and, as new taxes were out of the question, has applied to the Ulemas for a loan from the large possessions of the Mosques, but they have not yet complied with his wish. For these three weeks past the Divan has met almost daily. A firman forbids the inhabitants to carry arms, though only six weeks since they were expressly ordered to do so. Another firman pre scribes to all Mussulmen regulations for their dress, which are too contrary to their manners and customs not to excite the greatest dissatisfaction. The fleet lies at anchor off Bujukdere ; whether it will sail to the Black Sea or the Archipelago, is not known. The first is the more probable. Twelve fine ships and a corvette returned from the Darda nelles on the 17th, to join the squadron. The village of Farraraki, inhabited by Greeks, ;at the entrance of the Bosphorus, was occupied a few days ago by 3,000 Turkish troops. The unfortunate inhabitants were all expelled, and some, accused of an understanding with the Russians who landed at I eads, a►e arrested. Tl►e village has since been strongly entrenched. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 14.—The solemn obsequies of the Princess Sophia Albertina are fixed for the 29th instant. The expense is estimated at 50,000 rix-dollars Banco. Preparations are making for the coronation of the Queen, which is expected to take place in the beginning of June. Dr. Rosinstein (the Archbishop) visits her Majesty several times in the week, to instruct her in the Lutheran religion.— Hamburgh Papers, April 25. HAMBURGII, APRIL. 24.—Borsen-Halle, Four o'clock.—The arrivals of wheat from the interior during this week have again been considerable, but have nevertheless been readily taken by the specu lators for the French and English markets, and that at tolerably firm prices. The arrivals of this week amounted to 1,038 lasts, the exportation to 916. Rye continues also in demand, and more parcels have even been bought for exportation. Barley dull ; and though the arrivals have not been large, the greater part remains unsold. From 9th to 16th April inclusive, fourteen cargoes of corn passed the Sound—nine to British, one to French, and one to Dutch ports.

Ebr tam; MICHAEL ANGELO BUONAROTTI. For three-fourths of the Sixteenth century this extraordinary man presided in the schools, and by his style influenced much longer the principles of modern art. To him, therefore, during the most brilliant period in the annals which we are now feebly endeavouring to trace, is the atten tion chiefly directed. Nor only in one point of view is his genius to be contemplated. He has extended the grasp of a mighty though irregular spirit over our whole subject. Sculptor of the " Moses," painter of the " Last Judgment," architect of the " Cupola," we behold him in the greatest of the works of art. It is this more than any other circumstance which has invested the character of his genius with a species of awful supremacy not to be inquired into. Dis crimination is lost in general admiration ; and to him who thus seems to bear away the palm of universal talent we are inclined to concede the foremost rank in each separate pursuit. His productions, thus dominating among the labours of man, bewilder the judgment both by their real and apparent magnitude. Thus some giant cliff, rising far above minor elevations, while it serves as a landmark to the traveller, misleads his conceptions of its own distance and imme diate relations of site. Here it appears the pro per, or at least simplest, method to present such gradual unfolding of the subject as each branch separately may seem to require, re serving a general view for such place as shall give the reader full command of the joint influences, bearings, and consequences of these details. In sculpture the works of Mi chael Angelo are divided between Rome and Florence. They are not numerous, and few are even finished. Impatience of slowly-progressive labour, united with indomitable activity and un wearied industry—fastidiousness of fancy and exalted perceptions of excellence, joined with a wreckless daring in execution—form singular dis tinctions of intellectual temperament. Hence ha\ e s?rung the characteristic beauties and the besetting errors of his style in sculpture—a styl e discovering much that is derived from liberal and enlightened study of the sublime and graceful in nature, but still more of those qualities which arise from the peculiarities of an individual and erratic, though rich' and powerful, imagination. Rarely do his statues exhibit that simplicity and repose essential to beauty in an art —grave, dig nified, or even austere, and possessing means comparatively limited and uniform. Forced and constrained attitude, proportions exaggerated, expression awful, gloomy, and unearthly, forms of unnatural, of super-human energy,—these constitute the ideal of his composition. In giving visible existence to these ideas his execu tion is most wonderful. A force, a fire, an en thusiasm, elsewhere unfelt, unknown, give to every limb and lineament a vitality, a movement, resembling moie the sudden mandate of inspira tion than a laborious and retarded effort.— Constable's Miscellany. Guy ' s HOSPVTAL.-PRESENTATION OF A PIECE OF PLATE TO BrokNsay COOPER, EsQ.—Yester day afternoon a numerous assemblage of the Pupils of Guy's Hospital, and other gentlemen connected with the profes sion, congregated in the Anatomical Theatre of the above mentioned Infirmary, to witness the presentation of a Vase to 13, COOPER, Esq., which bore the following in scription:— To BiLViSBV COOPER, Esq. The Pupils of Guy's Hospital Present this Vase, To testify their ardent partietpotion of his Triumph over a daring and malicious Libel, 1829. The Vase is of an Le gant description, and worth between 90 and 100 guineas. On its being presented by Mr. GAZELEY to Mr. Coorza, the latter gentleman delivered a very feeling and eloquent speech, i i returning thanks for the honour conferred on him; and afttr alluding to the late pub/leation in the h4ncet, by which a stain was at tempted to be east on his professional character, he retired amidst-the moat enthusiastic applause, The Meeting then separated. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1829. Parliament re-assembles this evening, and it is expected that the English Catholic Peers will take their seats in the House of Lords. The circumstance will naturally create much interest and curiosity. The Duke of NORFOLK, as Hereditary Earl Marshal and Premier Peer of England, will of course take the lead. The business of Parliament will not be much forwarded this week, in consequence ofto-morrow and Thursday being Court-days, but next week matters will go on with spirit. It is confidently rumoured in certain quarters that Ministers intend to propose a Property Tax, and to remit a great portion or the Assessed Taxes and other taxes which more immediately press upon the agricultural and manufacturing interests. We hope they will. Nothing can be more fair than a property tax, because only those who have property can afford to pay. Hitherto, there has been a great evasion of the property tax, by seeking refuge in the Funds, but we have reason to think that the Funds must now pay as well as other property. There should be no especial favour shown in any quarter. The measure of justice should be equal. Gentlemen who possess property in the Funds have an equal interest in the welfare of the country as Landed Proprietors, and should not, therefore, claim any exemption from an equitable impost on their property. We shall, of course, hear a good deal about the " Na tional Faith," " Public Credit," and such fine sounding phrases ; but the national existence surely demands as much respect as words which convey no more meaning than the late cry of "No Popery," and the " Church in danger." We have as much concern for the " National Faith " and " Public Credit " as those alarmists who constantly keep up the " howl " of self interest ; but we cannot see how the one is to be preserved or the other supported, unless the prosperity of the country and the welfare of the people be first consulted. The Taxes at present press heavily—the people feel them to do so— our Agriculture—our Commerce—our Manu factures—all feel the burden—and Government will do wisely before the . present Session ends to look to the matter. The French Papers are chiefly occupied with discussions upon the appointment of the Duke De LAVAL MONTMORENCY to the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs, in place of the Count de la FERRONAYS. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 21st instant, contains the following article from Constanti nople, dated March 26, from which it would ap• pear that the Russians have actually effected several landings on the coast of Roumelia, in all of which their operations have been eminently successful. The account is altogether unfavour able to the Turks : CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26. The news which, at the departure of the last post, were spread here in the form of authentic reports, of several landings effected by the Russian fleet in the Black Sea on the coast of Rumelia, are now confirmed, by information received by the Porte, from which it appears that not only Mesembria and Sizeboli, but other places situated more to the south, have been ravaged, and the batteries as well as all the means of defence and vessels destroyed. How these enterprizes could be executed so near to the head. quarters at Aidos, and without more actual opposition on the part of the Turks, would be difficult to conceive if it were not explained by the well known carelessness of the Turks, and by the entire want of Turkish ships in the Black Sea. Since then, the armaments in the arsenal have been pushed forward with increased activity, and on the 23d, the fleet, consisting of eleven ships of the line, two frigates, three corvettes, three brigs, and eighteen fire-ships and gun-boat, really sailed towards the mouth of the Bosphorus, but con. sidering the want of good seamen, and experienced officers, it will hardly venture to proceed into the Black Sea to meet the Russian fleet, especially as the hope of being joined by the Egyptian fleet is nearly vanished. According to the last re ports received by the Porte from Choumla, the new Grand Vizier, Redschid Pacha, who is on the way from Albania to the Balkan with a considerable force, had not yet arrived ; serious operations, which have been greatly impeded by the rigour of the season, and the bad condition of the roads, are not likely to take place till Redschid Pacha shall have assumed the chief command of the army, when a proper direction will be given to the numerous forces ordered into the field. Meantime the speedy surrender of Tournoul without any defence, and the destruction of the flotilla at Nicopolis, have made a very unfavourable impression, which bas been heightened by the conduct of Ahmed Selim Aga, who went to Bucharest, and placed himself under the pro tection of the Russians to avoid the fate of two officers, " \a t who were beheaded by order of Tebapah 4.oglau iromo: diately on their return to Nicopolis. It is now supposed that the Russians will very soon begin the siege of Guirghevo, but it is expected that the Go vernor, Kutschut Ahmed, who has hitherto conducted himself as a brave commander, will make a vigorous defence. The tranquillity usual during the. Ramadan pre vails in the capital, but expressions of discontent are fre quently heard, and this discontent is increased by the scarcity and dearness of provisions among the poorer classes, and by the new and great reforms in dress and costume among the higher classes and the ulemas. The new Ordinance for the official costume of the highest, and the superior military and civil officers of the Empire, as well as of the ulemss, has just been printed and published. On the 21st inst , the 15th of the Ramadan, when the ceremony of visiting the dress of the Prophet Mahomet, which is preserved in the Seraglio, took place, the Sultan repaired incognito to the Assembly, and at the conclusion made a speech to the principal members of it, in which he explained the object of the new sumptuary regula tions, namely, the checking of luxury, the introduction of greater simplicity, and the diminution of the ex penditure, and put the bearers in mind that the first believers had refrained froth ostentation in dress, had avoided effeminacy, and extravagance, but then, on the other hand, they were victorious in Europe, Asia, and Africa ; and that the present critical circumstances, and the season of war, made it the duty of every Muasulman to imitate the temperance, simplicity, and self-denial of their ancestors. The further reforms for the citizens, artisans, &c., as well as for the military, will be successively published. It is reported they will extend to the female sex, but it is thought the women will not be prohibited from wearing East India shawls and Russian furs, which are forbidden to the men. Among the various reports which have been for some time in circulation, one deserves to be mentioned, viz. that the Sultan, contrary to the custom of his ancestors, intends to wear a crown of gold and precious stones, and will appear with it in public for the first time in the fes tival of the Bairam. agYIRNNA, APRIL 16.—Meta11iques 98 i.--Bank glares 1108. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, dated Constantinople, March 26 : " The Turkish fleet, after being completely refitted in the Arsenal, has removed up to Bujuckdere. It consists of six sail-of-the-line, a frigate, and several corvettes and brigs, and the greatest exertion is using to complete their full complement of men. Several small ships of war and fire-ships, which had been at the Dardanelles, have arrived from thence, and are refitting. The latest arrivals from below report to have been strictly examined by the Russian squadron." Extract of a letter from tlie Agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated March 18 : " It is stated that the Russian Admiral Heyden has issued an intimation that he will allow no Egyptian armed vessels to put to sea, to prevent their carrying troops or supplies to Candia, and that he detains an Egyptian cor vette and transport already captured ; but it does not ap pear that he intends interfering with the usual trade from that quarter in grain not destined for Candia, or inside the Dardanelles." The following was posted at Lloyd's this morning : Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, April 27, 1829. My LORD,-.—l am directed by the Lords of the Com mittee of Privy Council for Trade, to acquaint your Lord ship, for the information of the Gentlemen of Lloyd's, that it appears by a communication which has been received by his Majesty's Minister at Stockholm, that British ♦es sels will in future be exempted from the operations of the 'Swedish Diving Company, further than may be agreed upon between the masters of ♦essels in danger of ship wreck and the Agents of the Company, and that this exemption is to take place from the opening of the Navi gation in tho present season.

Towards the close of the market yesterday the English Funds evinced rather more decided symp toms of weakness, and the price of Consols closed at 87i -I, at which rate they opened this morning, with but little business; this quotation was, however, supported but for a very short time, and they kept drooping to 871 and are at present 871 I both for money and time. Exchequer Bills are 59 60 pm.; and India Bonds, 50 2 pm. The Foreign Funds have exhibited but little novelty ; Brazilian Bonds support their advance, being 53i 54; Buenos Ayrean, 23 4; Portuguese, 43.1 44; Mexican, 6 per Cent., 204 i; Russian, 96} 97 ; and Danish, 65f 66. In Shares there are very few transactions, and no important variation in the prices. In the absence of any Foreign intelligence an opinion seems to be gaining ground in the City that we are on the eve of some important financial arrangements, but at present every thing appears in a state of such uncertainty that we do not feel warranted in giving what we have heard. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols remain heavy at 87i, buyers; Three per Cent. Reduced, 86k. One of the causes given for the depression in the English Funds is the report of a deficiency in the Revenue, and present state of the trade of the country.

SUGAR.—The delivery of Sugar from the West India Docks last week was above 2,400 casks, all for home con sumption, and the stock yesterday wag 12,447 hhds. and 1,011 tree. The arrivals are pretty considerable, and there were landed last week nearly 1,000 hhds. A great number of public sales of Colonial produce take place this afternoon, and business is checked until their result is known. Fine Sugars command steady prices, but inferior descriptions are heavy. The stock of Mauritius is in creased to 53,000 bags, nearly 13,000 bags having been landed last week. SPICES.—The Spice market is not active. The Com pany's sales of Ginger, Nutmegs, Cloves, Cassia Lignea, and Saltpetre are on the 12th of next month. COFFEE.-The East India Company have withdrawn their Mocha Coffee, declared for the 6th of May. The Licensed Coffee sale will be however pretty large. Ruse._Although sales of Rum are diMcultto be made at full prices, the delivery last week was a large one. From the West India Docks 975 puns. and SO hhds. were delivered, of which 600 were for exportation. The stock is in consequence not higher than 13,821 puns. and 1,349 hhds. Proof Leewards barely realise 2s. ld. per gallon. TKE SILK TRADE..—The East India Company have issued their declaration for the June Sale, and it amounts to 2,200 bales of Company's Bengal. This is rather less than was expected. The last sale was 2,400 bales. An opinion is indulged, that the trade will now begin to as sume some activity, and the sale is looked forward to with some anxiety. The arrivals of private trade China Silks have been very large recently. The stock of Company's goods remaining for future sale, including late arrivals, is not large. BALTIC PILODUCE.—The commercial accounts from St. Petersburgh, to the 11th instant, mention that 15,000 poods of Tallow bad been bought there, and that the price ranged from 96 to 97 rubles, a decline having occurred.

A large sale of Surats this afternoon prevents purchases by private contract this morning. Woots.—The stock of fine Wools is comparatively 'mall, and they are in demand. HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Yesterday being the birth-day of his Ma- jesty, it was celebrated here with all the joy and enthusiasm imaginable,—and I have every •reason to believe in every town in this county—nay, in all Ireland, people were equally enthusiastic on this happy and auspicious occasion—the honest and worthy men of Tipperary had refrained on the arrival of the joyful intelligence that the Catholic Bill had received the royal assent from the display of any thing like triumph, from illumination, bonfires, &c., and had come to the wiser determination o f h av i ng public dinners on the King's birth-day,—N enag h, Thurles, Cashel, Tipperary, and Fethard, were to have their public dinners, to testify their allegiance to their beloved Sovereign; and to join heart and hand with their fellow Protestants, with the hope of burying in oblivion all those party distinctions which had been the means of so long distracting this hitherto ill-fated and unhappy country. Ac counts reached us daily within the past week, that the Protestants in the above towns followed the advice of Mr. Peel, and were to attend those dinners. Such gratifying intelligence was calculated on here as being the means of inducing the Protestants to fol low the example so gloriously set them—but " tell it not in Gath," it had not the good effect, for the bigoted set in Clonmel did not think the time had yet arrived, us old Bradley would say, for them to throw off their surtouts; the Catholics of this town used every means possible to induce their fellow Protestants to join them, but all was in vain; they had even sent printed circulars, yet it had net the effect. The dinner went off, and harmony rebounded in every corner of the room. Clonmel, Friday, April 24. 'l'. L. His MAJESTY arrived at his Palace in St. James's, in his travelling carriage and four, escorted by a detachment of Hus ars, at a quarter past ten o'clock last night, from his Palace at Windsor.
