FFLENCII PAPERS. EThe Moniisur of Monday the 10th, with the -Supplement, is entirely filled with the Debates of the Chamber of Deputies.] [From the Pitote of Monday.] BAYONNE, JULY 13.—A letter from Seville, .dated June 24, says, the King of Portugal con tinues to act with moderation, but it is thought he must display more energy. The Queen gave a grand ball, where more than 300 of her own and her son's friends were assembled ; it is said this fête was given to brave the authority of Go vernment; but what is certain is, that the day following, all those who were present were tem porarily exiled from Lisbon. The Portuguese l';ovesoment has sent a Circular to all its Con !ils and Ministers at the different Courts of announcing to them the King's resolu tion to give, as he promised, a Constitution. ST, CLOUD, JULY 18....Th0 King heard Mass in his chapel.

Before her departure Rear-Admiral Rotours gave a sumptuous dinner to the French Ambassador, the Nuncio, and most per. sons of distinction in Lisbon. Thy Emperor of Russia went on the «Ist of this month to visit his marine at Cronstadt, and went on board the frigate A rethusa. Ills Majesty was received with all the honours due to his high station. Arnim, JULY B.—Our letters from Cadiz ft re of the 2d instant ; they do not mention any Preparations in that port for an expedition for South America. _ _ (From the Journal des Debate of lifonday.) The Count Deja (Infant Don Miguel) paid a visit to the King. After Mass the King received the Ministers, M. Talleyrand, and several Mar shah of France. '.ANTE, JUNE 14.—( Extract of a Private Let• ter. )—The death ot Lord Byron has caused ROM delay relative to the delivery of the funds derived from the loan made In Eng land. It was necessary to write to London, and the Hellenic Government having ratified the clauses of thti treaty, a first pay. mint of 24,0001: has been made by Mr. Blaquicre into the hands of' CoMmissionera.• A part of this sum has been sent to whereMavrocordato, Botzaris, and the Souliots are. Another part of it has been sent to Idra. In consequence of the dissensions occasioned by Colocotroni, the Turkish squa dron of the Captain Pacha has succeeded in throwing a rein . forcenaent of 2,000 men into Negropont. After this operation it returned in the direction of Mitylene. Letters from Cerigo an- trounce, that hnmediately after the arrival of the Turkish fleet at Porto 01Ivor°, its arnarchical chiournies revolted, and asses. limited the Captain Paella. This appears probable, for the crews of the Tnrkish ships were never worse composed than at present, being a collection of the lowest rabble from Constar'. tinople and Smyrna. Omar Drionia, convinced of the inutility of his exertions, and of the dangers to which he was exposed kora his own 06vertnent, in conjunction with the Mucha of Scodra, bas proposed a treaty of alliance, offensive and tlefen .sve, to the Hellenic Government. In consequinee Qt' this treaty 'lto will cede Arta, Prevesa, and the jtve teent;. to the Greeks, and retreat to Berm, where he will establish the teat of tiOrernment. This project is about to be carried into exc.. Cutlet), and thin first dismemberment of Turkey will he followed by the deration of the Inhabitants of Bosnia and other places, who are now consulting with the Montenegrins to form Mite ' pendent leagues. bottasA,Jurq 28.—General Guilleminot had arrived at Constantinople, with it suite of 33 per sons, among whom was M. Speracopola, a Mai. ;mote, and M:de Sparta', a Swede. His arrival bad created .some stir at Vera, and seine' diplo %statists complain of his limiting his attentions to 0,0411 to iett‘itig his card. Though the Ottornan territory is not very favourable to the negocia liens of the European Ministers, General Guille .minot will have a great advantage front knowing personally the Grand Vizir Cthalis-Pacha, with whom he became acquainted in 1817, on account of the armistice of Sloboje. It will be curious to see if France can re-acquire the influence in the gast she possessed before hi 1815. Front thif of Ttieoy. PAttiS, u (20. The Liberal J mllllll4, which pretend to know every thintiand iopenetrate the secret of the most mysterious negociatiens', have , been for some time trying their skill on those which they presume have been opened with emissaries sent .frorn St. Domingo by President Royer. All that the Courier and Conslitutionnel have said on tbiiiitlbject are gUOSSNS, and may be taken as de- Void of foundation. It is not with them that the contracting parties Will seek advocates and con fidants. What is certain is, that. two Hayden Commis sioners, are in Paris ; one of them, a man of colour, has' received his education in France. What is also positive is, that among the persons charged with receiving the proposals, and sego. dating °lent, i 'tl ; functionary who has already filled a similar mission, whose name is dear to all the Colonists, and and who, by his honourable chit racier, cand ou and local knowlege, is calcu lateri to inspire an equal confidence in the French Government, and in those interested in this nego. elation.. All that could be added to these facts, notresting on any foundation, deserves no credit. The right of Sovereignty of France over St. and if any other proof '9°Mingo is incontestable ; than those which exist were necessary, it would be found in . the step taken by the Government of that country. 'France has for her the possession of right, to which only that of fact can be op ressession do fircio is lost in more ways than nut' possession iie jure, which constitutes 6nvere ;glaY, can only be alienated by the conduct .ef liins to wisinn it negotiations belongs termeli at Joh ann i t ib erg w ill hi y an important "11" j"Y 13.--The stay of Prince Met- Ppotit, atcotmt :0- lath y. that have 1 141 „ 494, 11 H70ir '''' - ;'tint: of the Land ,Inert glorious nd ,most th , wrelitt,ill; f or. that.Pr' indouhted ly .that which 'is confid e d oust monster, the subject of which is, the sending of a :cOrPs of Hanoverian VOopti to Portngai, i tr order to main tain tranquillity in that country till the organiza tion of the Portuguese army. By these steps, the English Government does homage to the'conservatory principles of the holy Alliance, and implicitly recognizes the right of in tervention which it. , so openly disregarded at the time of the war in Spain. This negociation is going to be laid before the Diet; but as the mea , sure has already receivod the approbation of all the Great Powers, and as it is extremely advan tageous to the country that will furnish these troops, and to the volunteers of these corps, there is no doubt but it will be approved of also by that Assembly. Sr. CLOUD, JULY 19.—After mass the King transacted business with the Ministers of the Marine and the Finances. At half-past two his Majesty took an airing towards Marly. Tnasre, JUNE 27.—Letters from Znnte, of the 19th say that part of the Greek loan which, after the death of Lord Byron, was detained at Zante, for instructions from London, was deli vered on the 9th to Prince Mavrocordato, at M issolonghi. Letters from Germany state that some persons of distinction were to assemble at Coblentz between the - 10th and the 18th of this month. Among those mentioned are Prince Metternich, the Prince of Iteus, Prince Paul Esterhazy, the Prince'df Schonberg, the Russian Councillor Tatischef, the Marquis of Caraman, and Count Woronzofr. Count Munster, whose ar rival on the Continent has been announced by several journals, will without doubt also proceed to Coblentz. It seems to us impossible that this able diplomatist, who has figured at all the European Congresses, can fall to be present ,at so important a meetmg.—( Quotidicisqe.)

THE GREEKS AND TURKS. MARSEILLES, Jura: 26.—We yesterday re ceived news from Alexandria, in Egypt, which come down to the 22d May, and affirm positively that people continued still to speak of the embarkation of the Viceroy's troops ; but that nothing certain was known on the subject, no troops having yet arrived in the neighbourhood of Alexandria. The corps which it was said was to be commanded by Ibrahim Paella, was encamped some leagues from Cairo, and at that time at least was not making any preparations to break up. Ibrahim was with his father at a country house near Cairo. It was affirmed besides that the troops to be embarked were not to be conveyed to the Morea or placed at the disposal of the Turkish Government, bits that they will go to Candia, where there is already is strong corps of Egyptian troops, to which all the ad vantages are to be ascribed that the Turks have hitherto gained in that island.L-Farther, it is stated in these letters, that the corps intended for embarkation does not exceed 6008 men, and that there could be no idea of projects against Greece till Candia is wholly subdued, in which these trooops are to assist. life have no certain information respecting the Turkish fleet under the Capital' Pacha. However, it had not yet appeared near the Peloponnesus, or at the entrance of the Egean Sea ; it still loitered about Negropont, where it is said to have lost some vessels:' Accounts brought by vessels speak of a new and suc cessful attempt to land near Volo. In the Peloponnesus there was still great confusion. Colocotroni has again renewed hos tile measures against the Central Government ; but it was not believed that he acted in 'concert with the Turks. The unhappy differences that exist might, however, be very fatal to time Greeks, if the Turkish operations were conducted with judg ment and energy, which seems , to be by no means the case.— M. l)rouot has now taken the command of the French naval force in the Levant, instead of M. tie Ifigny, who has returned to Toulon.—(Allgeniaine Zeitnng, July 11.) INUNDATION IN BOHEMIA. Pnactuit,Jutv thirty.six hours ruin,l commencing on.the With of .leoe, the waters of the iStoldau near our town rose to a prodigious height. They were only two feet and a half short of the height to which they rose at the time of the breaking up of the frost in 1784; but, as at that period, they were only increased to that extent by an enormous mass of ice, the swelling of the river now must be considered greater than the one at that period. The Maldau as not only impe tuously broken over its own banks, hut it has penetrated into, the heart of the town, many of the streets of which it has in undated. An immense quantity of timber has been torn along by the violence of the waters from the principalities of Schwar zenhurgh and Furtsenburgh. The rivers of Berm), Micas Sa tawa, &c. have made equal havoc, and their surface was so co vered w lth wood thatthewater could scarcely be son W hole rafts, more than fifty boats laden with timber, an immense quantity of various kinds of goods , even some roofs o f h ouses covere d with men, besides carts drawn by oxen and horses, floated under the bridge of this town. A small portion of these were stopped between the arches, but the remainder was borne along further, and either broke or thrown over the beaks into the fields and roads. Near the Hotel of the Invalids, and ,the villages of Lichen and the Holzehowitz, several boats were stopped, and a great quantity of wood was taken out of the water. Among the rest, ut Lichen, near a tbrge, before which ' an arm of the Moldan passes, the wood accumulated to such a height that the water could not force it further. An empty boat was even carried by the violence of the torrent over the roof of a house, which it completely drove in. An account of similar disasters are at this moment received front all 'parts of Bohemia. The Elbe, the Adler • the Eger, &c., have every where overflowed their banks, and drowned a number of men and anituala. There have been likewise great inundations at Dresden; also in all the countries ( F each Paper.) washed by the Elbe.— WAR IN INDIA. (ExTRACT or A LEII'P.II,) tt CAT.Ce'I:TA, M.-kitelll6.---Government brunt at last issued a proclamation, d ec l ar ing us at war with the Bur mese ; and the 1:Ith Light Infantry is once noire ordered to be ready for service, together. with the 31ith, the Loth Native In fantry, two companies of artillery, and a train of sixteen guns. These, it is said, are to be joined by a much larger force from I,Judras, so as to amount to • about ten or twelve thousand men, and to attack liangooo, or some iMportant point on the roast, where they are to go into cantonments till the season for active operation commences. Troops are also gradually assem bling on our eastern frontier, and a regiiiient . Of cavalry Ism-tiered to Kisaergunge to be at hand. A depot of artillery is forming at Dacca, and half the rocket troop is on its way to take its share in the campaign. Already, however, the ill effects of draining tke upper provinces of troops has begun to appear in a pretend ed insurrection of .• one of Scintlia's Sinters, which, no doubt, has Occurred with the privity of the Alah.raj himself. Gen. Knox has marched against these people, but we have not heard with what success. The Russians are quietly but constantly approaching us. Some men who have been at our north-western stations, and as far within our limits as Delhi, made no secret that an establishment was being organized at Ilalk, which, you know, is not very far front the limit of Mr. Elphin. ston's excursion ; so that the talk of their finding the route difficult is all nonsense. The extraordinary, and in many cases minute knowledge which some Russian officers were found to possess With respect to the sitnatitm of our cantonments, and the disposition of the regular troops, attracted a good deal of attention, when some of our overland travellers fell in with their advanced posts; and lately we arc told the question hes been so far entered into by Russian' military men, that the ad vantages of marching boldly into our territory and taking up cantonments amongst the Itlahratta States, during the hot sea son, have been weighed against the more prudan plan of pass ing the first year Lahreo, and organizing the Scik army.' Calcutta Papers to the 14th of March, have been received, from which we learn little in addition to what has already transpired. The accounts from the Sylhet frontier are dated '2oth Febninry, on the rivet-under Tailin, in Casher. Our loss in the att►►ck by the Burmese on the stockade was severe. Lieutenant Armstrong, of the 10th, was killed; Lieutenant• Colonel liciwen was slightly wounded with a spent ball, and Lieutenant Graves slightly ►n the arm. Enstirliarbane was dangerously hurt in the leg ; amputation has since become necessary. About 120 men et' the 10th were killed and wounded; Captain Johnston Was sere - rely wounded through the knee; and about 40 then of th 4 28d Rungpore were killed and votindekl. The camp hospital was tolerably full.' THE REV. C. COLTON. An American Paper makes the following state• men t respecting this singular character : During the residence, of Mr. Colton in Charleston he occa sionally amused himself by giving his, thoughts to the public in a Newspaper column. The following, from The Charleston Courier, may be considered as an American Appendix to Lacon, by the author : " Have you such a thing, Sam, as tenpence about you ?

Whether the moderns are not wise by the ignorance, no less than by the wisdom of their forefathers ; and whether their errors have not been unto us as a beacon, anti their discoveries as a light-house ; and whether the march of knowledge, like the march of time, doth not progress in the darkness no less than In the light. IVhother there are not three insurmountable inequalities among men—inequalities of physical strength, wealth, and talent; and whether talent be not the highest of the three, inas. much as it can command the one, and acquire the other. Whether wealth does not begin to be the most dangerous of all powers the moment it eases to be the lowest; and whether man, if placed in a society where money can do every thing, is not too often tempted to do every thing for money. What will be the result of the great tragi-comedy about to be enacted on the stage of the world, and will the march of the bayonet be strong enough to put down the'march of opinion. It is impossible to build a marble temble of brick materials ; and are there not many that could defend their liberty but who do not deserve it—while there are some that do deserve their liber►y, but who can hardly defend it. Whether Universal Suffrage be the best node of accom. plishing the highest object of all Governments, namely, that the men of principle may be the principal men. Whether an Englishman who comes to America a Whig, has not to thank his philosophy rather than his feelings if he does not return a Tory. Is not he that prefers the submissive society of slaves to the rough raciness of freemen, more to be pitied than he who pre. fors a pumpkin to a pine-apple, because the one has a smooth coat, and the other a rugged one. Whether a half enlightened population, with the fullest scope allowed than of thought, speech, and publication, be not pre. cisely the materials moat liable to be made the dupes of the de magogue, the property of the ambitious, and the prey of the hypocritital. Whether America cannot offer this dilemma to all her aggres sors—" Attack me with few, and I will overwhelm you —attack me with many, and you shall overwhelm yourselves." Whether an union of truth in the bond of reason be not as as great a good as an union of error in the bond of faith. Whether ignorance be not all that certain popular Preachers demand froin their congregations, and impudence all that they rely on in themselves. Whether the whole realms of human intellect be not under the abject despotism of that capricious tyrant, doubt—who resigns in the breast of all of us, but gives satisfaction to none. of us; and whether we can define one of those most important things on which all our reasonings depend, life and death, time anti space, matter and mind. Whether prudery of conduct be not an armour resorted to for the defence of that which the fair owner suspects may be en dangered ; and whether freedom of demeanour be not the result of that confidence in the strength of the citadel, that can fear lessly permit an enemy to reconnoitre the outworks. :vvitetitur •• red:lieu/as" be sun,a good proverb, and many have not failed from t4criniethrifxpeettueed by the very tmodness nr their cause ; runt whether he that defends a bad cause is not obliged to do every thing for it, because it can do nothing for itself. Whether it be not. fortunate, that the ancient library which was given as fuel to the public baths, should have kept the good people of Alexandria in hot water for a season, rather than all posterity in tho same predicament for ever ; and whether it be not better that men shotild grow wise by reflecting on their own thoughts, than blindly poring over those of others. Whether Napoleon sincerely meant to have given liberty to France the moment she was capable of enjoying it ; and whe ther the single intention be not the only thing that is required to stamp hint the greatest man of any time and of any place. Would nut Napoleon who succeeded in Franca have failed in America ; and would not Washington who succeeded in America have failed in France ; and do not great men often fol low events, yet fancy that they guide them. Whether the greatest event in modern times did not hinge upon the merest trifle; and whether the French Revolution did not result from the turn of a mutton-chop. Whether the " cid bonoil" or questions so triumphantly asked by the advocates of despotism with regard to the French Revo lution, be not a question as impertinent as it is absurd. Whether all those who were the victims of the French Revo. lotion would not have been where they are now without it and whether the abolition of tithes, and the law of primogeni. titre, be not fully worth the price of their removal ; and if the establishment of trial by Jury, and the Code Napoleon, be not positive and extensive good, as certain of security from their value as stablity front their weight. Whether it be not the particular interest of America to sup. port the general interests of freedom throughout the world ; and whether, at the present crisis, the overwhelming brightness of her example be not her surest and her safest course. Whether he that at every step of his political career makes one friend and one enemy, does not play a losing game; and whether revenge be opt 4 stronger principle of action than gratitude.

The intelligence contained in these Papers, as well as that which reaches us by private channels, is highly favourable to the cause of the Greeks. The divisions amongst the Chiefs in the Morea have been, as we antici pated, almost entirely healed, private feelings and interests being nobly suspended or stifled by the patriotic motive of uniting for the defence of the country against the common enemy. One of the fruits of this happy spirit has been the sur render of the important fortress of Napulia to the troops of the Greek Government, by one of COLOCOTRONI'S Lieutenants, who, together with the garrison under his commond, took the oath of fidelity; and Cor.ocoTnoNt himself, who is sur rounded on Mount Melanus, and is incapable of doing any mischief, had made proposals to surrender. From Cerigo it is asserted that a mutiny had broken out in the fleet of the Cap tain Pacha, and that that Turkish Commander had been assassinated by his crew. The Greek Government having ratified the Loan raised in this country, part of the money had been deli vered to Prince MACIROCORDATO at Missolonghi, and part of it had been sent to Hydra. This seasonable supply would invigorate the military operations, and have a most beneficial influence o wthe spirits as well as on the comforts of the Cieek troops. OMER. BIIIONIS, in concert with the Pucka of SconaA, had offered to enter into an' offensive and defensive alliance with the Greek 'Government, proposing at the same time to make to the Greeks the important cessions of Arta, Prevesa, and the Five Wells, whilst 014E11. BatoNts should establish the seat of his own independent power at Beret. Fresh ac counts from Semlin and Belgrade still assert that DERVISCII PACIIA was signally defeated at Thermopylm ; and to crown all these cheering and triumphant indications of the favoural4e progress and result of the campaign, advices from Alexandria assert, that no preparations whatever are making for the embarkation of the threatened Egyptian expedition,---that the corps which could be embarked do not exceed 6000 men,---and that besides it was never really in tended to send this force to the Mores, hat to Candle, which the Pacha of EGYPT is endea vouring to conquer for himself. ' The Done contains an article, dated Mentz, k which great praise is given to Prince MET. TERNICiI, for his dexterity in prevailing on Count MUNSTER to conclude a negociation for sending a Hanoverian force to Portugal. Our Readers are aware that we exclusively announced the arrival of Count MUNSTER, at Johannisbeg, but otfr well-informed Correspondent .gave us reason to believe that the project of sending Hanoverian troops to Portugal was opposed, not recommended, by Prince MEF TERN/ICH and the other German Ministers at the Congress, and that a new and formidable objeC• ; tion to the measure had been started on the ground of its being inconsistent with the system, of the Germanic Confederation. How these sp parently contradictory statements are to be re• conciled, time will probably show. In the mean time we rely on the accuracy of our corre• spondent, and are inclined to believe that the ob• jections of which he spoke was really made at the Congress, and that the objection will not be easily removed. The Prince de METTERNICH, we are assure! by a letter received from our Currespoudent et Mayence, was to leave Johannisberg, on the 15th, and after paying a visit to Frankforts . and passing a day or two with the Prince of HEssE ROMBERG, he would immediately procee d to Itchel, in Upper Austria, to take the beet 4t of the salt baths.
