FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France.) FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA. "JULY 28.—Mr.Pisani, formerly Russianageut Jassy, and whom Count Pahlen has placed at Bucha rest as sanitary agent, has commenced his functions in the latter city by expelling all the Jews, who fly in crowds to Transylvania. " Count Pahlen is said to have declared, that if the plague did not cease he would set fire to all four quarters of Bucharest. The Boyards, terrified by this threat, which probably was not made very seriously, took all possible care, and from the 14th to the 2lst of July no case of plague occurred in the city. "The Turks at Kulafat have made a vigorous sally against Generals Geismar and Gorkzakow, which was repulsed with great loss of blood. The second sally against General Geismar, is said to have induced him to ask for reinforcements. Every thing is still tranquil in Servia, but in Bosnia the ci-de vent Janissaries are in open revolt against the Porte. PoRT-ar-PaINcE, JUNE 15.—0 n the 10th of this month the President of Hayti opened the Ses sion of the Chamber of Representatives with a speech, of which the following is the'substance. Speaking of the attempts to disturb the public tran quillity, he declared his satisfaction at the public spirit which had every where manifested the greatest zeal to defend the established order of things. " In making all the exertions which probity com mands to pay the debt contracted with France, we have never ceased to defend the honour and rights of Hayti. We had constantly acted on the principle that a really independent people could not be bound rentrary to its interest to recognize in perpetuity ex elusive privileges in favour of the commerce of a foreign power. " On this important point it is understood, that unless further stipulations, necessarily advantageous, shall be made, the trade of all nations shall be placed here, after 1830, on the footing of perfect equality. " The President, speaking of the extraordinary contribution, says that experience has pointed out .c.)rne objections and abuses which will be remedied. "The reception given to the paper-curency has an swered his expectations. " Notwithstanding theidepreciation in the value of our produce, the deplorable effects of the great drought and the hurricane which }nave successively desolated the country, good order and security have bp.en maintained both in the towns and in the country. The population has remarkably increased, and public instruction has made great progress." The Moniteur and other morning papers contain A) news.

AGAINST THE USURPATION WHICH HAS RECINTLY BEEN MADE Or HIS CROWN AND 'KINGDOM OF PORTUGAL. W'hen we addressed our solemn protest to the Portuguese nation on the 24th of last May,- Ist. Against all violation of the hereditary rights of his Imperial Majesty and those of his august daughter ; .2d. Against the abolition of institutions liberally granted by that Monarch, and legally established in Portugal ; 3d. Against the illegal and insidious convocation of the ancient States of that kingdom, which had been abolished by virtue of a long prescription, and by effect of the institutions above alluded to, — We then flattered ourselves that the horrible at tempt, of which the arts referred .to were the sad prelude, would not have been carried into effect. We had indeed been led to believe, that ,the me nacing attitude assumed by the Ministers of Foreign Courts accredited at Lisbon, together with the efforts made by a part of the brave Portuguese Troops, would have arrested the machinations of a perjured and rebellious faction, and prevented the accomplishment of an usurpation pregnant with mis chief, and subversive of the principle of legitimacy, held sacred by all the Powers of Europe. Every noble spirit, to which treason and perjury are obnoxious, conceived the same hopes ; but nei ther the remonstrances of the Governments most deeply interested in the prosperity of Portugal, nor the praisewerthy resistance made by the friends of legitimacy, and by all those who reverence reli g ion and respect the s a nctit y of an oath, could ebeclatlie fury of that faction, which had resolved, at all ha zards, to seal their iniquity by a completion of the usurpation which they had premeditated. By mean; of popular tumult, of violent desti tutions, of innumerable imprisonments, and of re volting proscriptions; --by the arts of seduction and undermining;—and, indeed, by the employment of every kind of means, however odious or reprehensi ble, they rendered access easy to the criminal object they had in view : and their progress was so rupid, the work of usurpation was speedily effeeted, in de spite of, and to the great injury of all the potentates of Europe, who had, in a formal manner, fulminated a general anathema against it. On the 23d of June last the assembling of the 3oi-distznE " Three Estates of the Kingdom" was witnessed at Lisbon; but which, in fact, was no thing more than a meeting of the accomplices of an execrable faction ; and when every thing for this scandalous proceeding was ready, having been for a long time previously arranged, it was opened, by the proposition of the following question, to ascertain " If the Crown of Portugal ought, on the demise of Don John VI., to have descended to the eldest ~ on, the Emperor of Brazils and Prince Royal of Portugal, or to the youngest son, the Infante Don 3liguel." submitted, a mi sera bl e On this proposit ion bein g and insidious discourse was delivered in favour of his Highness's rights to the succession, and against those of the Emperor, our august Sovereign, whom it was endeavoured to represent as a foreign prince, and de prived of his rights of primogeniture front the cir cumstance of his having ascended the throne of Brazils in the life-time .of his father. In this tribunal of injustice and hall of usurpation, no one dared lift up his voice in favour of legit i il ma an c d y, with which the cau se of the Emperor of B rers King of Portugal is identif3ed. din The honourable duty of defeng those rights to the Attorney belonged, as a matter of course, General of the Crown ; but he Ives not called upon to fulfil it, which proves that he ought not to be in cluded in the number of their accomplices. Unanimity was consequently so complete amongst the conspirators, who assumed to themeelves the unbecoming title of " The Three Estates," that they could have decided the question at once without any adjournment ; but the better to impose on the Portuguese Ration, and as well on the people of the two hemispheres, they deemed it expedient to defer it ; and on the 28th of June, after a few days of mock deliberation, they prented to the head of the illegitimate Governmen se t established at Lisbon, the result of their contemptible machinations, con sisting of their unanimous and criminal votes in fa vour of that -usurpation they had been called toge ther for the purpose of sanctionin g , and which was unfortunately con summated in that city on' the Ist of July last—a day, the memory of which will ever be execrated in the annals of Portugal, on account of the disastrous consequences which cannot fail to flow from such a deplorable event. Disappointed in our expectations, we n rioous Re.w find ourselves under the disagree 4 ble, but impe cessity, of unfolding to the eyes of the whole world, all the perfidy of the acts above mentioned, as well as the fallacies contained in the arguments brought forward against the incontestable and acknowledged right, of Qnf august islet thK Ernperoi . Ql Frain, and Prince Royal of Portugal, to the Crown of that - kingdom on the death of the Kin' , his father.

Ann. respective pretenSiOns may he doubtfnl, it belongs gla tu li ads ll3pln. to the superior tribunals or authorities of the State to decide so important a national question ; and the history of Portugal itself affords two examples—the one on the death of the King Don Ferdinand, and the other at the period when the Portuguese na tion, throwing off the intolerable yoke of Spain, exalted the august 1-louse of Braganza on the throne. Bet as that question cannot be raised where the succession to a crown is regulated by the right of primogeniture (and such is the case with respect to that of Portugal, as it regards his Majesty the Em peror of Brazils, the eldest son of his Majesty Dun John VI., who has beaides been recognised, as well by his own father, as by all the other Powers of Europe, in his quality of Prince Royal of Portugal, both before and since the Partition which was made of the Crown of Portugal, by a solemn treaty exe cuted between the two Sovereigns), the hereditary rights of our august master could net be rendered doubtful on the demise of the King, his father—nor were they. Before even this unfortunate event which occa sioned the important succession was known at Rio de Janeiro, his Imperial Majesty had been pro claimed King in Portugal, and immediately recog nisedaS such by all the Sovereigns and Governments of Europe. Such, proclamation, and such recognition, as spontaneous as precise, are of themselves proof so irrefragable and solemn of the legitimacy of the here ditary rights of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazils to the Crown of Portugal, that we shall be justified in limiting thereto our opposition to the usurping faction, which has dared to impugn at the same time the unanimous opinion of all the Courts of Eu rope, and that of the majority of the Portuguese na tion itself. But we will not confine ourselves to this allega tion, we will go further, and combat the arguments with which this perfidious faction have attempted to attack rights so incontestable. And Ist. That of an ancient law made ky the Cortes of Lamego, of which we transcribe the pre cise words, viz.—' Sit pea in sempiturnam, quod prima filia Regis recipiat maritum de Portugale, at non veniat regnum ad extraneos : et si cubaverit cum prineipe extraneo, non sit Regina, gain nunquanz vo lumus nostrum Regnant ire fore Portugalibus, qui reges feeerunt sine adjutorio alieno, per straw forti tudinem." By altering the sense of this law (the existence of which, by the bye, is very doubtful, but which we will not now dispute), the usurping faction pretend, that by his. accession to the throne of Brazils, his Imperial Majesty has foregone his quality of a Prince of Portugal, and has become in consequence inca pacitated from succeeding to the Crown of his fore fathers on the death of John VI. The misapplication of this law is very evident.— This law prohibits, it is true, Queens of Portugal to marry foreigners by birth, but it does not prevent Portuguese Princes from acquiring other Crowns, nor from succeeding to that of Portugal, after having acquired any other sovereignty, and the Portu guese history abounds With proofs thereof. Don Alphonsus 111. was a Portuguese Prince, and although at the same time in possession of the county of Bologna, he succeeded his brother Sancho IL and preserved the sovereignty of Bologna, notwith standing Alphonsus V. enjoyed the Crown of Por tugal together with that of Castile and Leon ; and Don Emanuel united on his head the crowns of Por tugal, of Castile, of Leon, and of Arragon. Consequently, if that law did not exclude the Count of Bologna, Don Alphonsus, from the suc cession to the throne of Portugal, it cannot now exclude his Majesty the Emperor of Brazils and Prince Royal of Portugal from the like succession. 2d. That of another law, made afterwards on the 12th of September, 1612, by. King John IV. by desire of the Three Estates, and therefore a ratifica tion of that of the Cortes of Lamego. It is declared by this second law, " that the suc cessor to the Crown ought to be a Prince born in Portugal, and that no foreign prince by birth, how ever nearly related to the King, could succeed hint." Now, as this applies solely to princes born in a foreign country, it is clear that it cannot be made to apply to his Imperial Majt,.;ty Don Pedro IV. who was born in Portugal, Moreover, as neither the one nor the other of these laws have provided against the possible partition of the Portuguese Crown, by a solemn agreement between the reigning Prince and his immediate heir and successor (but which has taken place, for the first time, between his Majesty King John VI. and his eldest son, the Prince Royal, Don Pedro), these laws, we repeat, cannot be applicable to the case now under consideration. On ratifying the treaty of the 29th August, 1825, by which the partition above alluded to was made, his Majesty John VI. promulgated a law, or per petual edict, dated the 15th November, 1825, by which he recognizes his eldest son the Emperor of Brazils, in his capacity of Prince Royal of Portu gal, and expressly revoked all the laws, customs, rules, and decrees of the Cortes, which might be contrary to the intent and meaning of such law. For a new and unforeseen case, it became necessary to enact a new law. And as the authority of his Majesty John VI. was as competent and unlimited as that of his au gust predecessor, John IV., the law of the 15th of November, 1825 (published "in consequence of a treaty, which is a sacred and inviolable compact, and a supreme law amongst all civilized nations) is become a fundamental law of Brazils and Portugal, and is in fact the only one that ought to regulate, as it actually did, the succession to the crown of Por tugal, at the moment when it became vacant. Having thus folly proved the illegality of the de cision of the ,soi disant " Three Estates of the realm," as well as the futility of the arguments ad vanced by them in favour of the usurpation, there .only remains for us to fulfil a painful but honourable duty—that of protesting, and we do hereby protest most loudly, and before all the world, against the usurpation recently made of the Crown of Portu gal, on behalf of his Majesty the Emperor: of Brazils, and King of that kingdom, as also on be half of his well-beloved daughter, Donna Maria da Gloria. And we confide this our solemn protest to the almighty power of the Supreme Arbiter of empires, and to the justice of all the Sovereign Princes of Europe. Dated London, this Bth of Aug. 1828.

It is said that Mr. PEEL came to town on Thursday for the purpose of finishing his labours at the Home Office. Should that Right Hon. Gentleman leave the Ministry, it will not have a leg to stand on. The Gazette de France dated Thursday, and the other Paris Papers of Wednesday, have been received. The Morning Papers contain no news, nor indeed does the Gazette, but a few extracts from it will be found in another co lumn. Count PAHLEN is said to have adopted vigorous measures with respect to the plague in Bucharest, which he threatened to set on fire. The consequence was, that no case of plague appeared for seven days. The Jews have been expelled from Bucharest, but the reason is not stated. Probably they created suspicion—and it is well known that the Russians have no kindly predilection for that unhappy class of persecuted beings. The Turks besieged in Kalafat are on the alert, and the exiled Janissaries in Bosnia are in open revolt against the PORTE. Every thing is quiet in Servia. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9th inst. has been received. It merely contains some geo graphical description of Bazardjik and the other fortresses on the present line of operations by the Russian army FRONTINRS or TRANsyLvANIA, JULY 28. Bazardjik, otherwise called Hadschi-Oglu Bazar, is next to Shounda and Varna, the most considerable place in the Turkish district of Dobrudsha ; it lies at the first defiles of the Balkan, and is distant about SO geographical miles (15 to a degree) from the place where the Russian army passed the Danube, reckoning from the south side of the pontoon bridge at Issaktchi ; it is about half way to Edrenchs or Adrianople, 12 geographical miles from Silistria, and five from Varna, which last town is in a straight line about half way to Constantinople. The Russian head quarters are now in sight of the Balkan chain, that is at Bazardjik, in which, almost in a line, and between the rivers Varna and Kamtehi, are the fortresses of Old Shootola, Shourola, Jenibazar, Pravadi, Aladin, and Varna. The Austrian Obseruer of the 4th of August seems to disbelieve in the French Expedition to Greece, as will be seen by the following corn- ments VIENNA, AUG. 3. The Courier Francais, of 26th July, gives some de tails of the intended expedition to Greece, which it says " is designed for the execution of the treaty of Gth July, to expel Ibrahim Pacha and to put an end to the rage which this Arab Chief, who is less warlike than tierocious, exercises on the remnants of the unhappy Greeks." On this passage the Austrian Observer makes the fol lowing observations : " The latest accounts from Greece say nothing of this; on the contrary, a letter from !ante, of July 3, says accounts coming from good authority, which have been received here from the opposite coast of the Mores, namely from Clarenza and Katakolo, say that the•treops of Ibrahim Paella conduct themselves in the most peaceable manner, and detachments of them frequently come to the above-mentioned towns, and others to purchase provisions, which they receive and punctually pay for, and in ge neral behave as if they were old friends of the Greeks : in consequence of this, a considerable number of Greeks from the illofea, who had taken refuge here, have already returned thither, and are daily followed by others of their countrymen.'"

The Grand Duke has convoked an extraordinary Diet for the 10th of August, in which he will receive the homage of the estates, and at the same time to express his own sentiments, and his determination to honor, maintain, en courage, and protect all the works and institutions of his late father. The Nuremburg Correspondent, of the Bth inst., contains some observations on the Turkish Cavalry and Infantry, as well as the plan of the campaign, which seem to merit attention from their apparent correctness : FROM THE DANUBE, .AUG. 2. According to a letter written by a European Minister at Constantinople, who is a competent judge of military matters, the Turkish cavalry still maintains its high cha racter. It ie well mounted and exercised, and the ►nore able to contend with the best European cavalry, as im provements in the mode of performing its evolutions have unquestionably been introduced with success, at least in those corps which the writer has seen exercised and re viewed at Constantinople. On the other hand the letter gives a very unfavourable account of the Turkish infantry, even of that organised on the new system. The statements of the writer not only throw light on the recent operations, but also afford some data, which may be assumed as basis on which to form an opinion respecting the fur ther progress of the campaign. The Turks, as may be conjectured, will nut risk a general engagement, but con fine themselves to the defence of their fortresses and strong positions, endeavouring at the same time to interrupt as much as possible the communications of the invading army. It is therefore probable that the advance of the Russian army to the Turkish capital will be but slow, and that this object of its operations, if such really be its object, not be so soon attained as many at fret believed. The following is from a Morning Paper, which considers nothing too great for its credulity in all matters touching " Church and State," on the right side of the question. The dismissal of the Duke of CLARENCE has startled even the wor shippers of Baal, and they try to mystify the affair the best way they can, but the thing wont do• Here followsthepexagraph of 44 Yes," and' No," as the weathercock may point its destiny:— "We have authority to state that the as sertions in the Papers of yesterday, relative to the cause of the resignation of the office of Lord High Admiral by the Duke of CLA RENCE, are ntterlll vlAunded. Beyond this positive contradiction we deem it un necessary at present to say anything more, than that as soon as the resignation shall have keen formally accepted by his MAJESTY, we shall have no hesitation in speaking openly and fully upon the subject." The Official Gazette of Martinique, of the 11 th f June, cc,ntains a Royal Ordinance, abolishing the 12 per cent. duty heretofore paid by Foreign vessels trading to that Island. Among the various pamphlets of the day, none has so much attracted our attention as one addressed to Mr. PEEL on the present state of the Catholic Question. It is professedly by "an Irish Catholic," and certainly, from its spirit, is well worthy' the serious attention of all who entertain any doubts as to the pro priety of granting to the Catholic Body at large that Emancipation which they so justly claim, and without granting which the Government of this country can never hope to rule over an united people. The pamphlet before us views this question in a light different from any in which it has been hitherto surveyed. Its object is to prove, that in Catholic times the POPE's temporal authority was as much limited in other Countries as the opponents of Eman cipation could now limit it without totally sup pressing Popery. The laws of pro visors and pra'munire were passed more than one hundred years before the Reformation ; the first prevented any interference on the part of the POPE with Church livings ; the latter deprecated the intro duction of a Foreign Power into these realms, or creating an imperium in imperio. If the fact of these laws having been passed by Catho lics be not a security in itself; it is at least a proof that there is nothing in their religion adverse to any regulation that might be made for the purposes of ensuring such a security. And as Ministers have declared themselves disposed to come to an amicable arrangement, it is their duty to adopt measures to that effect. For this purpose it is suggested that his 1V1.4 .1 ESTY should appoint Commissiouers during the vacation. 'The author says that his great object is to prove that Catholics, previous to the Reforma tion, were friendly to liberty and National Independence. To establish this position ap peared to him of the first importance, as a contrary impression seems to prevail, of which he thinks it incumbent on all Catholics to disa buse their opponents. As a proof that the Ca tholics were friendly to liberty and national inde pendence, the author justly says, that if, while un controlled by a rival religion, they would not suffer those principles to be interfered with by the POPE or any foreign power ; how can it be rationally supposed that they would do so now, while professing the very same doctrines - , and kept to the observance of them by the vigilance—he might say the surveillance of their Protestant countrymen ? Competition or emulation, which are effectual in improv ing all other systems, are not without due ,Iltli 4 effect on the conduct of religiou4napposed com munities. He endeavours to show that while the Catholic religion was the only and national religion of this country, liberty and independence were upheld ; in order to prove, what evidently follows a fortiori —that what a whole Ration was not then—a part of a nation could not he now—hostile to freedom and national indepen dence. 'We have not room for any extracts from this interesting and able publication, but we may safely. recommend it to the attention of those who doubt, as well as to those whose minds are made up, respecting Catholic Emancipation. It will convince the scruples of the oue, and (we trust) the prejudices of the other. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. South Sea Stock Old Annuities S7N New Ditto Ex. Bills. £l,OOO 2d. 71 72 pm.

Campbell, who is ,a prisoner in the Fleet for con tempt, has taken very great pains, and used no small degree of exertion, for the purpose of obtaining the discharge of three brothers of the name of Green, who bud been committed for contempt, one to the Fleet, and the other two, one of them being only 14 years of age, to the custody of the Sergeant at Arms, till their fees were - paid, which amounted to nearly one hundred pounds. Mr. Agar, a few days ago, discharged the order, which was made by the Vice-Chancellor for their committal for irregularity. By the 43d. of the New Orders, any person, whether interested in the cause or not, is entitled, on the payment of 3s. 4d., to one of the six Clerks, to have from him a certificate of all the proceedings in the cause. Mr. CAMPBELL, under the authority of this order, applied to Mr. Lewis, one of the six Clerks; for a certificate of all the proceedings in the cause. Mr. Lewis returned a certificate, which Mr. Campbell thought was obviously not a certificate of all the proceedings. On Thursday last, Mr. Bligh applied, on the part of Mr. Campbell, that Mr. Lewis might be directed to make a better return. The Court then thought it could make no order upon the six Clerks without an affidavit. Mr. BIAGI' produced that affidavit this morning, stating that, according to the notes taken by Mr. Fitzgerald, a short-hand writer, many very impor tant proceedings had been omitted. His LORDSHIP desired that it be referred hack to Mr. Lewis, to see if there were any other proceed ings which he had not certified, and if there were any, to certify them. BRUISER V. ROBSON. Mr. WALKER was instructed to apply for an in junction ex-parte to restrain the defendant (Isabella Robson) from drawing any bills, collecting in any debts, or selling any fixtures, the property of the partnership. It appeared that the two plaintiffs and the defend ant, in 1825, entered into partnership together, in the business of cook-shop-keepers, and for that pur pose took a large shop and fixtures in James-street, Covent-garden. The business was carried on very amicably till April last. The defendant having had the whole management of the business, it was then discovered that she had contracted debts in the name of the partnership to a considerable amount. The plaintiff then signed a notice of dissolution, and took no further interest in the business. In May last the landlord put in a distress on the premises, and seized the fixtures, part of which were sold, and the house had been since shut up. In July the plaintiffs were arrested for debts contracted by the defendant subsequent to the notice of dissolution, but upon an application to Mr. Justice Ilolroyd, they were discharged upon common bail. The defendant had since broken open the house at the instigation of a solicitor's clerk, and had taken away many of the fixtures, and threatened she would sell the whole and collect in all the debts. It was also sworn that she was in insolvent circumstances. In junction granted. GRANT V. GRANT. In this case application had been made to his Lordship to discharge the writ of vie exeat regno, granted by Lord Eldon, upon the grounds of certain amendments having been made in the bill. His LORDSHIP did not see any reason whatever for altering Lord Eldon's decision, and ordered the motion to be discharged with costs. BURCHETT V. wooLvAnn. His LORDSHIP ordered the discharge of Messrs. Chitty and Marshall in this case, and said he would look at the bill of costs, which amounted to SU, and would give his opinion as to whom they ought to fall on. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

Charles Thomas Bnchland and John Churchill, the former being copiously adorned with whiskers and mousta• rises, were charged with assaulting Mrs. Phillips and her three sisters, at Cranbourne-street, last evening. Mrs. Phillips had agreed to accept an apology before the cage came on ; and Mr. HALLS observed, that he was sorry tha t it was becoming- fashionable for every puppy, with whiskers and a segar, to insult respectable females whenever lie happened to meet then). He hoped, however, tha t sufficient spirit remained in the British public to serve such puppies as they deserved, by personal chastisement , whenever they misbehaved themselves. They were discharged on paying their fees.
