FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, AUG. 13.—The conjectures which we hazarded respecting the determination of the Freneh Government, relative to the expedition to the Morea, appear now realised. We well imagined that secret repugnance would be felt on this subject both ~at London and Vienna, but we had sufficient confidence in the- Ministry' to hoPe, that that would have no no weight at Paris; This idea, patriotic and entirely French as it is, has been confirmed by, the following fact, the authen ticity of which we have strong reasons to believe in. We are assured that the day before yesterday (Mondav),.the Austrian. Charge d'Affaires (acting.] during the absence of the Count d'Appony) and thc . English Ambassador went together t o M . de itav- neva], Secretary ad inter i m for Foreign Atfeir s . They appear to ° have required with !MIA' ear: ne , (t i t „ that the French should renounce the ^ K r . ,Alti o „ to as Ibrahim consents t o the Morea, ..-etirt: from it. It is also asserted that M. sae Rayneval this diplomatic• opposed communication and that the three high persona. es did not separate until after a long and vvarlP Discussion.. The.sal:neO.4y there was a Council of Ministers h eld upon subject, and immediately after a tele graphic di s p atc h %vas sent to Toulon, directing our tleet lb sail at once. This fact needs no comMentary. — ( From the Journal des Debars of 'ttairmlay.)' GREECE. M. Eynard !nu addressed the following letfetto the benefactors of Greece "BAINS D'EVIAIS " I have the honour to inform the benefactors of the Greeks, that I have received setters from 'the President to the 7th of July. The ,Count is per= fectly satisfied with the attachment which the Greeks testify for him, and he contradicts the whelk of the ridiculous reports. that have - appeared itt - the Journals, in respect to him. The following is ail extract of his letter:--' In spite of the fatiguing' life that I. here, my health continues good. Certain letters have taken the trouble to poison me, and others have sent me as a fugitive on board the vessels stationed here—others exhibit the as sur rounded by daily insurrectiens--in truth, the writers, who take pleasure in fabricating these and similar ooleries, are altogether destitute of the gift of inven tion. I can state to you, without vanity, that, the confidence which all, without any exception, testify towards tae, and especially the people, makes me bear, witli feelings of heartfelt satisfaction, the im mense labour that every day awaits me; and as sureiiy my capability of sustaining it arises tu t; rely out of the strength which that feeling artkl the protection of God betows.'

'CuNTANTINOPLE, JULY 14.—The indifference with which the Government appears to behold. the events on the Danube, is shared by a great propor tion of the people, and especially of the inerchauts, who look with pleasure on the progress of the Rits• sinus, because they ar e of opinion that the evils're suiting from the same would hasten the pacification. The arming of the capital, which is divided into 150 districts, gives th e mast convincing proof of the averseness of the people to this war. The prescrib ed enrolments • could hitherto only he made in 15 districts, and these show the greatest indifference. Nor are the accounts from the provinces more satis factory. The troops coining from 'Asia desert in gtings of from• 2 to 300 men; the Paehas . are unable ha of Sa to furnish their contingenc ies. The Pae lonica, who had undertaken to organize 30,000 men, has scarce. been able to furnish .5,000,. and the 'same is every where the case.

The camp of Saturnia e ven , NvhithsT the Paella of Adrianople marched \en' h a' reinforeemement of 12,000 men, is mares/10y dis contented, and sutlers much from want of provisions. Hussein Bey, the commander, sends couriers after couriers to Constantinople, but nothing is suffered to transpire respecting the contents of his communica cations. Still there is no apprehension yet of . !pr crisis likely to threaten the existence of the Ottoman Empire. It is even supposed that the Turkish Em pire is so indispensably necessary to t h e equilibrium of Europe, that fresh guarantees of its existence will ise.the consequence of the ,pfelkeiit events. Every one is full of .these ides, to which' the reli gious faith. of rnikeygives cOnsiderable force, which tells then' that thi% trupire ''diePelhls. The Franks participate in' these ideas on a-ctiount of poli tical inotives; as. well as Of their own personal interests. • • FRENCH OCCUPATION OF CADIZ. , .

The neighbourhood of 6 ibraltar,thetx•esent state of Portugal, and the eventl.whieb tray be caused iu that couutry by English polity, seems to require that - France ghould have a considerable force at the entrance of the 1 1 1editerranean i to become the tutTeus of a second army. The Tight of Fraffc'e to be reim bursed is undoubted. The Custom-house duties of Cadiz, were they leviel dry French officers, would hasten this rcimtursement. Smuggling is so well organised in Spain that of a 100,0001. worth of hoot introduc e d i n t o C a di z , 60,0004 are smuggled ' tn. The English favour smuggling, which is very easy, because the Bpatiish revenue officers receive no pay, and therefutt pay themselves by assisting the smugglers, If the customs of that port were fle-. livered tip to France, it Would be favourable to trade, and to the Spanitti treasure. • The inhabitants of Cadiz would s'ee this with satisfaction. ' The town, • which fatlnerly had 60,000 inhabitants, has at pre . sent hardly 40,000. . Any thing which might revive the commercial prosperity would be agreeable to them; and that which France Pluses to perform, to secure the payment of her debts, another nation may do to favour her countercial interests." The artiele'olf the llfessager des C'h,ambres, endea vouring to skew that France and England were act-- tag in tOncert, with regard to the Morea, . was not not-copied into' the Ilioniteur. , The Journal de la Medilerranec of August 8 says the following article is extracted from the Mes sager de Mafteille :—" We hear from Puymasson, of August 2, that two companies of Piedmontese troops have descended to within two leagues of Entrevaux. The General commanding in the de partment of the Lower Alps sent confirmation of this to the General of the division, and four regi ments were ordered into the neighbourhood.. Va. -Haus reports are in circulation, but nothing is certain. (From the Courier Francais.) PAnis l AUG. 1 3.—At present the attention of our 'Ministers is directed towards Rome, to put an end to the resistance of the Bishops, and M. Chateau briand is to set out for that city in a few days. We • think the Ministry has no need of any other assist ante than public op pion, and it Will put an end to the clamours and protestations. In reading the English Journals, and observing the readiness with which they assent to whatever we may undertake, we are reminded of Lord Liverpool, who persuaded his countrymen not to be alarmed at our expedition to Spain, as it would plunge us in ex pence, and lead to dininution rather than an int:lease of power. PRUSSIAN PAPERS. BERUN, AUG. 10.--The Prussian State Ga zette giyes ,the feliOning more detailed bulletin of the preeeedings of the army under his Majesty the 'Emperor, from the 14th to the 2lst of July "BULLY-TIN FROM Tur ACTIVE ARMY OF THE 2D (14.ru) AND 9'u (21 ST ).1 ULY. ‘" On the 3d (15th) the head-quarters of his Ma jesty, together with the second division, quitted the rani") near Basardjik, reached U•zenil on the 3d, Kosludge on the 4.th, Turk-Arnantler on the and jenibazar on the 6th (18th).

A detach ment of this corps, under General Count Benken dorlf, occupied Parawadi on the 6th (18th). " About 100 men 'of the enemy, who were in the place, fled to the mountains on the approach of our light troops. On the following day ,General Ben kendorff's Aide-de-Camp, CountiDellinghausen, fell in with a .convoy of the enemy, about 20 worsts on the_ road to. Andusi. The enemy was routed, and the convoy itself, as it could rot be got through the hollow way, was destroyed. " After the corps of General Count &ratelen, which reached the neighbourhood of 'Varney on the 2d (1 Ith) of July, had driven in the enemy, who made a vigorous resistance, the gardens and heights around tiv: place were occupied. In order to divide the .atention of,the superior forces of the enemy, redoubts and intrerichments were thrown up, to co ver the centre of the left wing. These works were speedily finished, and placed in a state of defence.— They proved a very prudent measure of defence, as on the following day the auxiliary troops of the enemy, which had crossed the Liman from Bulges, entered Varna without our being able to prevent them. They consisted of several thousand men of regular infantry, and a division of cavalry. During the whole of this day the enemy,.. probably with ex pectation of •the arrival of. reinforcements, endea voured to keep our troops occupied .by continual sorties. On the same day also a considerable quart , tity of full sacks were sent away from the fortress on •the road to .Burger. • The:enemy has suffered severely by these sorties; we -have lost, in killed and wounded, four officers and eighty-five men.— Major• General Rupiganow, who drove the en em y back, and took possession of the gardens, was alSo twice slightly wounded.

On the Bth (20th) they occupied thiS advantageous, position, with a body of 10,000 cavalry, well provided with artillery. The 7th corps, in endeavouring to out-flank the enemy's right wing, fell upon their fore posts, and succeeded - in driving in this right wing, and obliging the enemy to ahandoittheir position. The 3d corps acting in fropt, crossed the Paraiada, and likewise attacked and defeated the enemy.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 23.—The Porte has re ceived within these few days very alarming news from the Paellalies of Erzeroum and Trebisond. General Paskewitch is advancing against Trebisond, where there are magazines •of copper belonging to . the Government, which are said to be worth RO millions 'of piastres. Already in the course of last winter the Porte was in vain warned by some Franks to have this copper removed to a place of security : it was even reported that the house of Rothschild •had made an offer for it. The. Porte, however, de layed, as it seems, to accept the offer till it" was too late. All the accounts from the army at Schumla an nounced that nuSsieti.

J.—The Captain of a ship, who has arrived in twenty-two days from Maina, says that the Albanian corps, of 6,000 men, had left Ibrahim Pacha, and had proceeded, under the com mand of its officers, towards Lacupylx, to return home. Ibrahim Paella is said to have sent 10,000 Arabs in pursuit of them, who, however, could do nothing against them, and lost 200 men in various skirmishes.- Ibrahim's troops continue to receive provisions by means of small barks, though the Greeks -had captured several, and sent them to Egina.

Fortune seems to favour the operations of our army in Asia, and Turkish Ar menia will shortly be - conquered by it, as not only the report of the taking of Kars by General Paske witsch is confirmed, but the progress of that corps is so rapid, that it is probable that Erzeroum anti its treofies are now in the hands of our army. .The possession of the sources of the Euphrates would be - a,noble indemnity for the - expernievand labours Of the war.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1828. In another column we have given copious ex 3-acts from the French Papers. It will now be seen that we were right respecting the alarm of the English Government, as to the sailing of the French expedition from Toulon. Not only has England remonstrated in vain, but Austria too ; that Swiss in politics has appealed, and both ' have appealed in vain against the sailing of the expedition to the Morea or any where else The consequence of this twofold application.has been the immediate order by the French Government, after a Cabinet Council, for the. sailing of the expedition !, Now all this comes of English generosity. We are too prudent to make a de monstration at once, when that demonstration Would answer the purpose, merely because it give offence; but when our demonstration will be of as little use as our remonstrance, because ou late, we make a stir which only serves to expose us to contempt. So long as England will appear to be qfraid of going to war, be cause of her debt and other matters, so long will she be always provoked to it by the encroach. ment of her rivals, and in the end, she may be dragged into a ruinous contest to prove to her foes that she was amply prepared . for war, though she did not choose to begin at a certain moment. It would be i<lle to say, Or oven to doubt, that this country is not prepared fbr war whenever it may suit her purpose ; but then it must be confessed that she does not hold her head so high as she ought upon particular occasions, and, more than all, at the proper opportunity. That high bearing alone would command the respect of Europe, and maintain our high position in the scale of nations, which is as necessary for States, as honour is to private individuals. We are no advocates fbr war, but rather than be insulted, and duped into the bargain, we say,,always let us be ready to shew that we can go to war at once—in order, to pre serve peace, which is the natural condition of all society_ We know that 12 ships of the line are now ready for sea at a moment's notice. The French have still an eye ,to the retention , of, .Cadiz, as an indemnity, or some such subterfuge. How long shall we be ►magnanimous and silly? The Rio letters mention that the Germans who had been concerned in _the disturbances in that capital were to be sent to the Rio Grande as agriculturists, and the 'lrish: to the Cape of Good Hope. The French Government, backed by their vessels of war, which had arrived from Brest, demand two millions of dollars as an in demuity for their vessels condenmed for breach of blockade and other spoliations on their trade. To this it is said the EMPEROR, finding it use-, l e s s to contend against such reasoning, had of fered the restitution of the slapping. This was refused, and a dem an d ma d e o f t h e two m il l i ons u fdol l ars insist e d upon , an d nothing less would be accepted. The Prussian State Gazette gives a more en larged account of the proceedings of the Rus sian Army from the 14th to the 21st July, than was previously received. It will be found in another column. The Morning Papers sav that Earl GREY is t o be First Lord of the Admiralty—an office which he held during Mr, lox's Administra tion. If this be so, we suppose that his Lordship's singular animosity to Mr. CAN NING is his greatest recommendation next to his manly and consistent .support of Catholic Emancipation. h is said that his Lordship has stipulated for Catholic Emancipation being made a Government question next Session.— If so, we wish L9r . ti GitEt unqualified success; fcr that one act would, in our minds .Cover a — thultitude of sins. Any man who benefits his country, or . endeavours to do so, deserves well of his fellow men, be his politics and theirs as far as the poles asunder. .We call even forgive Lord GREY the full measure of his pride, and of that order " to which he belongs, if he will be instruinental in restoring harmony and good-will among all classes .of the community, no matter what their_ political denomination or religious Creed.' THE BRITISH SQUADRON WITHDRAWN FRO PORTUGAL. Our Portsmouth correspondent of yesterday's date informs us of the arrival at that port of hiS Majesty's ship Harrier, Commander WM. MORIEP, from List)on,,in nine days, having left that place on the Bth instant, in company With his Majesty's Frigates Pyramus, Captain SArt 7 Tontous, and .Galatea, Sir CHARLES SUL LI VA IC,• Bart., bound to• Plymouth, with which ships the Harrier parted company in a gale on the night of the 13th, in the Bay of Biscay.-L They left in the Tagus' the French frigate Them's, and a Fahnouth packet: a French store-ship, bound to South America, sailed - with the British squadron. Don MIGUEL had a squadron of ten sail ready to start for the attack of Madeira, consisting of one 74, one frigate, three corvettes, three brigs, and two troop-ships, but it is supposed they will meet with a very warm reception' should they ever approach it.— The Harrier has not brought any passengers, and the frigates very few. None of the British merchants have left Lisbon, but they complain of almost a total stagnation of trade. Private letters of the 18th of June announce that one of the first acts of the new Ministry of Don PEDRO was to conclude the preliminaries of peace with the Buenos Ayrean Republic, the terms of which are net, however, given, from the difficulties which surrounded the EMPEROR from all quarters : this seems to be the wisest course he could possibly take. All the letters mention the rumour, but do not state the posi tive fact ; it, however has obtained belief in the best-informed quarters, and one letter particularly mentions they do not make their intended re mittances in consequence of this expectation, and the expected rise in the exchange. Jamaica Papers to the 9th July have been received at the North and South .American Coffee-house ; they contain little of importance. The Jamaica Courant of the sth has a cone's poudence between Captain COURTNEY, of his MAJESTY'S ship Ma . gnfficent, and Rear-Ad miral BORG UET, the French Naval Commander in -Chief, relative to an English schooner, the Joseph, fitted out at Kingston, which had been seized by the Dutch Authorities at Aruba, a small Dutch colony, charged with secreting de serters from three French men-of-war, and fitted out by a Mr. FISHER, in that island, in a pirati cal character. It seems that this gentleman, in consequence, has addressed the Editors, in which he mentions the Joseph is well known as a vessel trading under the Colombian flag, and left the port of Kingston in that character. He invites investigation of his books and papers, to show the vessel wet up to St. Thomas's for sale ; that she had on board despatches from Vice-Admiral FLEMING, and on inspection it fully appears the owner is completely exculpated from the imputa tion which might, if true, have been cast on the merchants of that port, as connected . with such nefarious acts. By the Mexican mail private letters have been received to the 4th July from Vera,Cruz, by which, ,learn that an extraordinary Session of Congress had been called to meet Orr the 2d of that month, for the especial purpose. of taking into consideration the state of the finances of the, Republic. The Government had, thrOugh the agency of the house of PENNY (brothers), contracted a loan to a small amount, and a-con ducta had been appointed for the early part of the month, Nvli ich had been subsequently post poned to the end of that period. The loan in question, it was considered, would be appro priated to the expences of the Government, and there was little or no prospect of any remittances fur the- Government account, unless emanating from . . the' Measures- the extraordinary Session of Congress might prodUce. Some of the letters express favourable sentiments on this subject, and give as a reason for these hopes-the deferring the departure of the conducts. , 'We have received Gibrallar Chronicles to the 29tli ult.

Now they have commenced plundering American vessels, there may be some chance of a stop being put to these shameful pi►acies.
