FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated August 25.) Pants, AUG. 24.—Thoislands of Sapienza, near Modon, are designated as the place of rendezvous for -the vessels belonging to the expedition the Mores, in case they should be dispersed by any ac cident. It is calculated that, with a favourable wind, the expedition may reach the Morea by.the.end .of this month. We cannot, therefore, hope to receive the news of its arrival earlier than between the 10th and 15th of September, assuming all the chances to be in its favour. hay just lost Dr. Gall, Science and Philosophy That illustrious physician died on Friday eVening, after a long and severe illness, at his country house at Mon trouge. , (From the Message) . des. Chambres, AUG. 2.4.) PARIS, AuG. 23.--,We are able to affirm, that at the moment of our going to press, no information has arrived directly at Parts, which can give us rea son to believe the news that has been circulated this morning, of a defeat of the Russian army before Chourtda. We repeat it, every measure has been taken that such bulletins as are of a paramount importance, shall come direct to Paris; and the public may be assured that they will. be immediately published, whatever may be their contents. We have no need again to wain our readers against the news in the bulletins which the German, fourrials published upon the present war, even though they should bear the title of official. We have not yet forgotten the famous bulletin reported to have been extract from a German Journal, in which it never appOed. A Journal expresses sur prise that the Russian army has not attaked clounda, from which it infers that it must have suf fered great lasses. It seems to us that the attack of so formidable a position must have required a consi derable development of force, and consequently the concentration of the several corps of the Russian army in one point, which cannot be expected in a few days. The Moulton' contains a Royal Ordonnatice, re lative to the proceedings in.attnual causes in French Guiana. (From the Constitntionnel.) PARIS, AUG. 21.---A new Commission has been formed to inquire into the means of restoring the reads throughout France : this is an object of the very highest importance. For a long time the de terioration of our roads had been a subject of com plaint; between villages there is no communication; but M. de Villele, in shutting his ears to the com plaints, thought at the same time to shut the eyes of all France. He accused public opinion of injus tice, and maintained that our roads were the best possible. The present Minister declares that it is tie cesary to check the progress of destruction, and to guarantee against complete ruin these powerful means of augmenting wealth and prosperity. The report of M. de Martignac is the most severe, epi gram which has yet been made on M. de Corbiere. (From the Courier Francais.) PAHIS, AUG. 24.—The German Journals which arrived yesterday brought no news of importance from the theatre of war. The last . bulletins an nounce that the Russian army was concentrating itself before Choumla, and that this important post would be speedily attacked. These bulletins are dated July 16, and we might now have news from there of August 1. That none has arrived excites surprise, and has occasioned rumours that the Rus sians had sustained a defeat on attacking Choumla. These rumours rest at present on no authority what ever ; they are plainly an induction from the proba bility of a battle, and from the fact that the Rus sians would have hastened to make known theis success had they been successful. Without ad mitting the correctness of this conclusion, we must say that hitherto their operations have not been so decisive arid rapid as might have been expected from the number of their. troops end their immense preparations. Their Gene rals appear not to.• have profited by thes in structions of Napoleon. The i/iirtpaign began briskly, but the resistance met with at Braila seems to have brought back the Russian Generals to the system of c ircumspection followed in the campaigns of 1810 and 1811. At that time the system was explained by the numerical weakness of the Russians and by the hesitation of the Generals whom defeat might subject to disgrace. Now the Russian army is as formidable from its numbers as from itsbravery, discipline, and. skill. The Emperor is present s and the General cannot fear being misrepresented at Court. What, then, delays the Russians ? Are the Turks more numerous and resolute- than was expected ? The news from the East has, represented army as weak, and the population of the coun try as indifferent to what was :going on. Are the difficulties of the country great ? . The want of re sources, the heat, of'the climate, and the ill health of the army, perhaps renders the opetat:ons slow. Hither to the Russian bulletins have told us chiefly of ad vantages obtained, and of the probabilities of success; but if these probabilities are not realized, we must soon be told of the difficulties which could not be over come. It is certain that the success of the Russians has not equalled the expectations of Europe. Their principal forces are stopped by Varna and Choumla ; the fortresses on the Danube resist, and the garri sons act on the offensive against the troops be sieging them. If the campaign continues to pro ceed so slowly, and if the Russian bulletins are not strongly marked by exaggeration, the army of ksia will have accomplished: its task before that com manded by the Emperor. .. Letters from Vienna, arrived to-day, say, " That the Russian armyshas given up the idea of carry ing Choumla by assault,:and is to blockade it.-- The blockade will be long, if , we may judge from the obstinacy with which the Turks - defended it in 1811. The cam p which th e Vi z i er b ad so b oldly formed on the' left bank of the Danube—the : prey both of famine and disease, they defended every .itich of a situation that was actually ploughed by the Rus sian bullets.. The blockade of Choumla may last till the rainy season, and then the campaign will be finished.. The Turks will have time to recruit their :courage, and to arm themselves; and Constantinople, saved this year, stands a better chance of being preserved. the next. The adjournment also of the Russian plans may have some influence on the situation of the corps which we are sending to the Mores. The Sultan, secure of his capital for some months, may send troops to Greece to dispute its possession with us. The Duke of Wellington's Ministry. will be delivered of a great source of uneasiners, and, events may marvellously supply the want of ability, but we are not authorised to rejoice. The Emperor of Russia knows that the eyes of Europe are fixed on him ; he knows of what importance it will be to his political reputation and power, that an expedition, begun with so. much parade, should not terminate in an obscure manner. Before, .he gives up such a proceeding, a great efforts taint be made, and an effort made by such an ..asiy as his will overcome many obstacles. At the. very time when it is sup posed that the Russian army is stopped at Choumla, it has perhaps captUred this bulwark of the Balkan. This news, like a clap of th u nd er, m a y destroy the last hopes of the Turks, and of those who put up prayers for the preservation of their political exist ence. The Superior Council of War .Coiitinues to oc cupy itself with the new organization of the army. We are to have, like the Prussians and other Powers, an active army and an army or reserve, the dtiraiitin of the service in the active army to be litnited'io' three years. The different corps of f ,t,lta aro l y or reserve will be divided into various lerritorhd ts c , r s lions, and will be collected once a year, dUring one month, to be exercised. The active army will 're main 200,000 men strong, not including the gendar merie, and the veterans. These alterations, without adding to the expense,. will enable us to employ a number of the officers who now only encumber our Staff. They will give France a more iinposing ant= tude, by creating a national army of the best ele ments. Combined with the National Guard ) the troops will then present a force sufficient td guarantee the security of the country from attempts made either at home or abroad,. A lewd . from Toulon, of the 17th, contains what follows :—" At length the tempest is lulled, and the expedition sailed this morning, at eight o'clock. The 'Wind is light, but contrary, and the ships get slowly out to sea. At this moment (noon) they are, hardly out of the harbour, and no doubt will be seen till night. ,All the people, in order to witness the magnificent spectacle, posted themselves on heights Dear the fort of Lamalgue. Nothing can be more majestic, more imposing, than the sailing of these 60 vessels, among which the four frigates, arid the Ville de Marseilles, of the line, hay in , on board the Commander-in-Chief, are visible. The fleet saluted with music, arid was answered by the acclamations of the people. Cheers resounded both on board the ships and among the spectators. The accents of enthusiasm were mixed with those of grief. Mothers, wives, brothers, friends, eagerly Sought . to recognize the objects of their afrectious, and give them a last adieu. I know not whether 'the scene were more sublime or affecting. Add to it the seri titnent of glory belonging to the mission On 'which our soldiers are going, and it seems that France is re-animated. - - RUSSIAN FINANCE. ST. PETERBURGII, JULY 27, 1,828, 4).3. (AUG. 8.) The Council of the Credit Establishments having assembled on the 18th of this month for the purpose of revising the accounts of those establishments, con formably to the orders contained in the Imperial Manifest of the 7th May, 1827, the Minister of Finance, General de Cancrine, opened the Session by the following speech " Gentlemen,—The moment has arrived for lay ing before you the accounts of the establishments of credit for the year 1827. . . . . " On entering into similar explanations relative to the accounts of 1826, on a former occasion, I had the honour of stating to you at length the results of the system 'of credit adopted by us, and the advan tageous influence they operated in the public mind in regard to those establishments. " Not only the year 1827, the accounts of which are now submitted to you, does not manifest in that re spect any disadvantage, but even during the war with Persia the price of our funds underwent no .considerable alteration. " Meanwhile, a remarkable- event was preparing in Europe, which, though properly belongs to the statements of the next year, I ca:n►ot consent to pass over in silence. Peace, which for years was spreading its salutary effects among the - civilized world,' has been broken, in spite of all our efforts to prmrve it; and a war has taken place, which will probably not be of long duration, but which, judging from the past, we might suppose' capable of affecting our financial operations on credit. " But the solidity of our credit has been demon strated by fads themselves. The pike of our funds winch underwent some fluctuations previous to the war, has become consolidated from the moment that uncertainty ceased, and it has moreover sensibly risen. The rate of our exchange, which depends on commercial occurrences, has also undergone no variations of the' least importance. These' results are to he attributed to the confidence placed in the integrity of our intentions, and in the solidity of our finances. The expenses of the war have been defrayed entirely by our own means, and especially by the .reserve capital of the redemption funds, which, far from having been exhausted, was considerably in creased by the sums received from the Persian Go vernment. We may, therefore, look upon the pro traction of the war which has recently commenced without uneasiness; and in no possible case will the payments affected to the national credit be subjected to the smallest doubt. " After having entered into these general obser vations, I lay before you, gentlemen, the detailed expos; of the accounts of our establishments of credit. "COMMISSION OF REDEMPTION. " In the course of 1827 there has been no parti cular occurrence in the commission of redemption. No new debts have been inscribed during that year in the register, and of the old ones, a debt of the Commercial Bank has been converted into perpe tual annuities; it amounted to 19,609,000 roubles in paper. Old credits of the Crown have, more over, been converted into perpetual annuities, and inscribed for the sum of 23,700 roubles in silver, and 813,100 roubles in paper. " After these conversion,, and the payments and repurehases effected during the year 1827, the public debt presented, on the Ist of January, 1828, the following quotas " The Dutch debt consisted in 89,600,000 flo rins, of which 45,600,000 for the account of Russia.

" In 1827, as in the preceding years, the mass of the paper medium has undergone no change, end amounted on •tha lat of January, 11118, to 595,776,310 roubles. LOAN BANK. " Although the loans on security were numerous in 1827, the great increase in the 'deposit of capitals made in the credit ( stablishments has considerably added to the fends of the banks. The cause of this accumulation is to be attributed to the circumstance of its being generally acknowledged that the decline in the prices of all productions having weakened the pecuniary operations, a great number of capitals which necessarily became inactive have sought em ployment in banks. This circumstance induced the Government to borrow, as on preceding occasions, sums destined to the construction of works, and to establishments of general utility, 6,700,000 roubles have, besides, been borrowed for such of the wc pences of the war as required the use of paper cur rency. Private loans, however, have thereby suffered no retardjand, as in former times, they afforded the means of employing capitals which remained with aut other employment, especially in the commercial Bank. " The new disbursements (allegements) in favour of the borrowers, which had been submitted to your deliberation in 1827, have been examined by the Council of the_ Empire, approved by the Emperor, autl.put into .execution In the present year. Pre vious to their introduction, the number of .unpunc tual debtors, especially those ,whese debts are secut , ed on landed property, was not very consider able ; there is reason to hope that it will continue • " In the course of 1827, the Bank has received in deposits, bearing interest, the sum of 8,137 roubles 70 copecs in silver, and 60,326,217 roubles 10i cop. in paper, which, at 51 per cent. interest, 13,000,000 of the Commercial Bank, and 3,000,000 of the Lom bard Bank.

MAIDSTONE, AUG. 25 —During the first two or three days of the last week the Hops were getting on, but towards the latter end they were at a stand still. Some persons. were then very confident that the duty would not much exceed 100,0001., but others were of opinion that it was as likely to be 150,000/. or 200,0001. Friday night was very injurious to the Hops, but since that time the warm weather has caused a very great change in their favour. It is now generally be lieved that if the appearance was as good in Sussex and other parts as in this countp, the duty would certainly reach 200,000/. The accounts from Sussex are not so favourable. On the whole it is thought we shall not grow so many hops as in 1826, hut some two or three parishes in this neighbourhood, such as Farleigh, Chart, &c., will have quite as good a crop as in that year. However, it still all depends upon the weather, should warm weather continue, the hops will increase,• but cold, chilly nights will very much injure them.—Maidstone Journal.

About a month ago we stated that FERDI NAND of Spain had solicited our Government to. recognise the Kingly title of his brother Despot —the usurper NI tGuEL. The affair was disre garded at the time by the Ultra-Tory papers, who railed in good set terms against the murderer of his father's friend, and the perjured violator of his brother's rights, as a thing impossible—totally impossible—for the Government of his Britannic Majesty ever so far to forget what was (Inc to the dignity of the Crown, and the honour of this free country as to acknowledge a monster (we believe that was the term) who had insulted our Ambassador, plundered our merchants, and imprisoned our countrymen. No,:no, the thing was impossible; it . was a libel upon our national character, and an in sult to our anti-national Ministry. But behold the result !—Why, at this very moment..Nve are sending an Ambassador to the Brazils to soften Don PEDRO towards his brother MIGUEL, who, notwithstanding his errors —and youth will have errors is still his brother ! We are sending an Ambassador to prove that Doll MIGuEL's faults are all on the side of youth and ambition—and youth will be a mbitious—ambition is a generous prin ciple, and deserves encouragement—and Don MIGUEL has done no more than other aspiring Princes have done before him. Yes, we are going to recognise the hopeful usurper ; and the Ministerial Papers of the day—those very Papers who were loudest in their praises of Mr. CANNING, because he had saved Portugal from the clutches ofMtGuELand , his Mother—the Sin and Death of Portuguese liberty—those very . papers are now sounding the note of preparation for the WELLINGTON Ministry to put the sign manual to their own eternal disgrace, by the re cognition 'of that very same MIGUEL as King of a country from which his crimes had banished him in order to save his life ! Really this is " too bad." A Morning Paper of yesterday broke the ice—and to-day another Morning Paper, of rather better character, widens the breach by praising the Usurper MIGUEL. When an assassin comes with flowers we always dread his knife ! To praise the man we have abused, i s a bad omen on one side, if not on both. Our c ontemporary, in paving the way for his future lesson, says—". The arrival of every packet from Portugal is immediately followed by the publication in London of letters purporting to be written in Lisbon or Oporto, defaming in the grossest terms, not only Don MIGUEL himself, but 'the character, public and private, of every distinguished Portuguese known to be attached to his cause." Well, well, if this be not the excess.- of servility, ws do not know what is. MIGUEL'S character ! --What, the diaracter of a fellow whom they have denounced as a murderer ? Shame on the servility of the Press of England, if any portion of it, aspiring to the character of honourable feeling, can descend so low ! Really we trust that the Duke of WELLINGTON Will not so far forgot his own fame, the property of his coun try, and the right of posterity, as to prostitute the laureled dignity of England by the recog nition of so flagrant a usurper as Don MIGIJEL. That recognition will neither support his 111 inis try, nor exalt its character. The French Papers contain no news A King's Messenger has arrived from Calais in a n open boat, who came- from Vienna in six days and a half, with despatches, supposed to be of importance, but we have not heard their purport. The army of Austria, and the pro gress of the ambitious NicHotiAs, are fit sub jects for extraordinary despatches. The Nzirenzburg Correspondent of the 19th inst., received this morning, contains some re trospective, as well as prospective, observations from the Banks of the Danube upon the progress of the war. It admits, what it wuuld be idle to deny, that the progress of the Russians had been made without great sacrifices ; but it asserts that the losses sustained have been more than coun terbalanced by the numerous reinforcemet:ts which daily arrive from the interior of -the Empire. It is computed that at present, in cluding those occupying Moldavia and Wal lachia, the Russians have two hundred thousand men in arms beyond the Danube, the base of which force is the sea coast and the lower Danube to its confluence with the Pruth. But other divisions are pressing forward to the scene of operations, amounting, according to late accounts, to 80,000 men—besides 20,000 of the Imperial Guard. It is considered necessary, before moving forward to the presumed object of its operations —Constantinople—to get possession of Chumla and Varna, but especially the latter, as keeping up the communication with the fleet. . So that here we have a side glance at the EMPEROR'S boasted moderation—be is secretly bent upon Constantinople, but does not find it convenient, nor would it, perhapS, be quite prudent, to alarm the jealousy of his amiable allies, whose Inagua- nimity must be very grateful to him at this moment. When he takes possession of the Hellespont, he may repay their generosity by seering their merchantmen to pass into 'the Black Sea, first tiuly paying tribute. This article, after allowing a great deal for casualties, yet makes sure of the success of the campaign. So much for Russian moderation ! FROM THE DANUBE, AUG. 14. Indisputable as the success of the Russian arms has hitherto been, it would be a great mistake to suppose that it had been gained without sacrifices. What may have beet) the extent of them it would be idle to pretend to de termine, especially as, with the exception of the siege and conquest of Brailow, we have not heard of any military operations that, according to the official statements, have been attended with any very considerable loss of men'. But whatever we may suppose to be the amount of those losses, they have been much more than repaired by the re inforcements that the army in the field l►es received since the beginning of the campaign, so that we shall net exaggerate its force, if, including the corps em ployed in the occupation of the Principalities, we state it at 200,000 men. The proper base of this army, accord ing to its actual positions, is the sea coast and the Lower Danube, to its conflux With the Pruth ; for the Principalities situated on the left bank of the Danube are the less to be concluded in base as Silistria, Ghiurgevo, and other forties es on the river are in the hands of the Turks, and consequently time communications with the countries beyond it by no means secure. According to the official accounts the Russians had approached Chaund t and Varna: - according to the generally adopted ptincples of tactics, it will not he able to cont►nue its movements against the presumed object of its operations (Constantinople), till it has made itself master at last of these important points, as either of them, while it remains in the possession of the enemy, endangers its communications with their base. But Varna is in this respect even more important than Chountla, because on its poesessiou depends the security of the communication of the army with the fleet, from which it must receive its chief supplies, which will reach it more and more sparingly by land the farther it advances to the booth. From this slight sketch, it is manifest on what fundamental conditions the success of the whole campaign depends. As the superiority of the Russian army and navy is an indisputable fact, we may take it for granted that may stand in the way of the ful filment of the fundamental conditions here assumed, will be overcome, and the success, theretCre, in a purely mili tary point of view, may be considered as certain. And as this is the point of view in which we here regard the question, all reference to politics will indeed take a Deus ex muchina—often step between and disappoint the most scientific calcu:ations of the tactician, which may be, with the more reason, set aside, as every hypothesis on this head would be very gratuitous. The Allgemeine Zeilung of the 19th inst. contains some allusions to the sanguinary mode in which the war is carried on between the Turks and Russians. It says that the Turks give no quarter, but cut off the heads of their prisoners, and the Russians stab their's; but the Emperor NICHOLAS, seoing the evil consequences, as well as inhumanity ofsuch proceedings, has enjoined his soldiers to . moderation. The Russian Guard have received fresh orders to accelerate . their march to Bulgaria, probably to enable the EMPEROR IO push on his operations before the advance of the unfavourable season. The plague had almost wholly disappeared IiEkMANSTADT, AUG. 3. For the last week the accounts from Wallachia respect ing the plague are more favourable ; it was affirmed in that Principality that the accounts from the army stated that the war was assuming a very sanguinary character ; that both sides sght with a fury hitherto unknown, and that no quarter is given. The Turks cut off the heads of their prisoners, the Russians stab their's, and the Emperor Nicholas has been induced to enjuin.his soldiers to act with humanity. General Geismar, who is before Calafat , opp osed to the Pacha of Widdin, is said most urg entl y to have solicited reinforcements, and to have alread y received six thousand men, because he was apprehensive that , the Turks in Widdin, who have been augmented to 30,000 men, might assume the defensive, and invade Wallachia. Many peasants have been required in the sieges of Chumla and Silistria, and several thousand of them have already passed the Danube for this purpose.— Lord Heytesbury had reached Gallaez, and the Prince of Hesse Homburg probably reached the head-quarters on Ayres. the 27th July. M. V. Stourdza, who had removed to a country-house near Bucharest, has returned to that city, as the plague has abated. The Russian Guards have received flesh orders to accelerate their march to Bulgaria as much as possible, and other corps are to come from the interior of the empire; it is therefore believed that the campaign will he a long one. TRIESTE, AUG. 13. Letters limn Ancona say, that Ibrahim Pacha is indeed pr►•paring to evacuate the Morea, but the fortreoses in his possession will be given up to the Turks; and that he posi tively declared this on the interview at Navarin, to the Admirals :mil to Count Capo d'lstria (the latter wished them to be given up to the Greeks). • If Ibrahim and his Egyptians leave the Morea, their places will be taken by the Turks, and the expected French expedition will still be necessary.
