FRENCH' PAPERS.

Mom the Maritear of Frieray—Nen-ollicial Part.]
Extract from the Milan Gazette of 21st June:—The party jour-
nals of France, especially the Conslitntionwel and Journal des
Debars, have lately tilled their columns with pretended private let-
ters from Milan. We are ignorant whether there really existed
any correspondents who made game of the Journalists, or whether
tho editors themselves abuse the credulity of their readers. What is
certain is, that we need but cast our et es over their productions to
' be assured that there is a contest between the relators of absurd
tales and the readers, of whom they rt sire to make dupes. These
private kite's from Milan speak of a Congress which no person
her, has been able to discover. Nor are they contented avith only
one Congress ; there arc two, one for she affairs of Europe in ge-
neral, the other for thine of Italy in particular. The editor atw-
itter paper, the ('currier Francais of 10th June. apologises to the
readers for a typographical error in the extract from a letter of his
correspondent at Milan, published the day beffire, in which he had
reckoned the ambassador of England among those who take part in
the conferences, which are at this moment caret ing on in that city.
" England," says the Courrier Francais, "has not thoughts tit to
hive an ambassador at this kind of Congress. Lord Stewart. the
ambasaador at Vienna, has not accompanied the diplomatic body in
its journey to that city." It would in truth have been difficult for
Hord Stewart to follow as British ambassador the court to which lie
has not bent accredited for above these two years, and all Milan
knows that Sir Henry Wellesley is there, and that lie even pree.ded
the Court. If this is the manner in which the factions intend to
write history, we will furnish them with some more genuine data.
We see among us a Monarchs who is come to visit one of she
most beautiful parts of this vast empire, and has visited it as u fa.
thee comes &along his children, to enjoy their prosperity. We
have seen Primes attaches' by the strongest tics of blood and friend_
ship, take advantage of a happy opportunity to came and visit the
Monarch, their relative and friend; we have seen the Emperor
himself go to see the Monarch of a neighbouring country, the pact-
' ticemor of his dominion* and the father of his people. We have
here a numerous diplomatic body, but the same that resides et
Vienna, which has followed the Monarch, to whom it is accredited.
All that the above papers pretend is consequently latae, and cannot
I have been sent from Milan. To what then ran we attribute the
pains which they take to amend errors. under the mask of hypo-
critical coloueing ? We hind the solution without much difficulty.
Peace and the public prosperity, which is the happy fruit of it, are
I rut what suit the parties. Their aim Is of a very different 'aware.
What are the repose and happiness of the world to factions ? They
want agitation, to turn it to their own advantage.
• Deprived of the chances of troubling the actual state of peace,
they seek to agitate people's mind ; for want of war, they invent
Congrissce. Falsehood has nothing repulsive in their eyes, it is
their usual weapon. Whatever chagrin we may excite in some
leaders of the parties and their dupes, we assure them that there has
never been any notion of a Congress or of diplomatic conferences
at Milan, of the establishment of a confederation, or of a central in-
quisition in Italy. The wisdom of the Monatelas will always give
the lie to whatever parties invent, imagine, or hope.

PARIS. JULY 1.

A letter from Trieste of June 19, in the A vitae( Gazette of the
27th. gives the following particulars of the final result of the great
naval victory of the Greeks ;
" A vessel from Charon N in the Morn, near Navarinn, has en-
teral the harbour of Trieste. It has brought letters prom those
parts dated the 4:h June. They say that the greater part of the
town of Motion has been destroyed by the explosion of the rowder
magazines. As soon as the unfortunate inhabitants saw the Egyp-
tian vessels in flames, they hastily left their houses and dispersed
themselves in the country. The Pacha of Moduli and all the prin-
cipal Turks tied also, in the hope of taking refuge at Coron ; but
they were taken in the way by the Olainntes. Since the Bth May,
when Illiattlis made his first attempt to rcl:eve Navarino, the Egy,i.
dans were so panic struck, that the greatest confusion prevail-Al
among them on the decisive day of the 12th May."
According to an expression ofone of the above-mentioned letters,
it ■rnld scim that the Pietlmnntesc General Santa Rosa had pe-
rished on the Hilt May. It is to be observed, however, that Colonel
Rottienr, in his report, putty ascribes to that General the tine de-
fence of Navarino, and says nothir.g at all of his death. Ibrabam
Pacha is at present at Coron ; it is. therefore, extremely probable
that he has taised the siege of Navaritto.

MADRID, JUNE 20.
The secret practices of the Apostolic Junta are at present dia.
covered, and it it has missed the otject which it had in view, is has
at least succeeded in strengthening the moderate party, which it
wished to cenah ; hut which has now been joined by a great number
of Rcyalitts, at first reduced by the Ultramentanes. hut now un.
deceived by the following decree, inserted in the Gazette of the day
before yesterday
The malice of some enemies of peace is always ready to dis-
figure facts, with a design to spread inquietude, deceive those who
are not on their guard, and disturb the minds of the pmple. It
sill be ct.deavottred, perhaps, to paint the events of the day before
yesterday in this capital its false and exaggerated colours, v. liPst on
the coatrary, the most evident proof of the love and loyalty of the
faithful inhabitants of this capital towards their August Sovereign
may be drawn from it.
" The circumstances that took place are as follows:—On the
evening of the .16: h of this month the drummers of the volunteers of
Madrid bought some lambs' heads, which the chef de cuisine cooked
for their supper at their quarters. Moat of those who are of them
were seized with the cholic during the night and following morn-
ing; the report that they had been poisoned rapidly spread through
Madrid, and as this rumour gathered ground, as will happen in
similar cases, some inguietuue was felt by the public, and alarm-
ing language Lewin to be heard ; but without hissing a moment the
authorities, having adopted the tnost efficacious and proper mea-
sures to maintain tranquilthy, patrols of infantry, of cavalry, and
royalist volunteers buying made the round of the city, the minds of
the people become calmed, and all returned to order, which since
then has not suffered the slightest interniption, and without any
unfortunate accident having happened. The drummers arc so far
recovered that snore arc perfedy out of danger. The woman who
told the heads and her boy have been taken up, and the researches
into the circumstances of the ease proceed with activity.
Our Lord the King satisfied with the conduct of all the autho.
rides. civil and military, whit the garrison of Madrid, and the
parilic demeanour of its loyal inhabitants, has ordered that his per.
feet appoibation should be signified to the whole, and has besides
thought proper to give the necessary directions to preserve order."
hat follows relative to these events seem to he :act :
" Since the 13th something violent was perceived in the conver-
sation of certain leaders, and of a party of the royalist volunteers,
which made it evident that a Crisis was at !send. On the lath they
spread abroad invective against the Government, and on the 18th,
early in the morning,the volunteers seemed to be in motion; at half.
past ten o'clock of the same day, the report began to be spread cf
a poisoning project. the object of which was the destruction of all
the volunteer Royalists of Madrid, and of a portion of rite garrison.
Soon afterwards, some priests were observed, alto entleivoured to
instil the same idea into groups of volunteers, who havirg quitted
their lsboura were going to their quart' r+ to arm themselves. At
one o'clock, the volunteers were rannitay up and down the streets,
crying out " Religion and the King for ever, death to the Negrres.
Aymerich, and Carvajal for ever.' At tw., o'clock, every thing
was in the state I described to you in my last.
" The Government, who were informed of the plot rather late
gave orders to some troops of the line, cantoned in same village's in
the neighbourhood of .Ihulrid„ to draw up, and at four o'clock nu-
merous patrols of these troops having began to march through the
streets the disorder abated, and seine shops were rc-opened t the
volunteers, however, did not cease to run up and dos n the town.
aabreing those in their way, when not restrained by the presence of
sonic one of the patrols. The number of persons known at present
to have been wounded by them amounts to more than slaty.
" During the 'tight of the 16th all the troops of the line forming
the garrison remained under arms at their quarters, and the patrols
were augmented and continued on the watch till morning. The
17th and 18th passeet very quietly, but on the 19th the insult's were
again renewed ; and this time, the intuited having replied, more
misfortunes happened, not only among the Liberals but also among
tire Royalist Volunteers, one of whom was killed upon the a, ot;
the tranquillity has not, however, been lunch disturbed, and things
have returned at present into their natural order.
" 31. Recacho, on the 16th, sent his Private Secretary to Arun.
juez, in cyder personally to inform the Minister for Foreign Affairs
of what had passel. On his return to Madrid, the Secretary brought
orders to 31. Recacho to hare punished with the utmost rigour of
the laws the instigators of these troubles, without respect to their
rank, and that the most strict researcher should be made for their
'discovery.
I " During the day of the 16th, the following placard had been
stuck up The Constitution for ever; death to the Kiitg and
Religion ;' hut the police has discovered that the man who stuck
it up is a royalist volunteer, and that this placard, as well as some
other+ to the saute effect, although written in different hands, had
yet been formed in the same manufactory.
" Serious apprehensions arc entertained for the provinces is which
the apostolics use their principal efforts, and it is feared that the
Government is not powerful enough to prevent the consequences,
first, because in general the troops of the line are not there in great
numbers, and last, because several of the Captains-General are en.
tirely devoted to the Monks.
" The Court are to return to Mathid the day after to.moerow,
whim it is said the Ministers of Grace and Justice, and of Finance,
will be chanced, who, it is reported, could not be dismissed till the
garrison cf Madrid is reinforced by the troops of the guard who ate
with the King.
" It remaiiis to be known what line of conduct the chief provin.
cial cities a ill take, as in important occasions they ere in the habit
of acting according to the interests and passions which may prevail
there, without too much regarding what may have taken place at
Madrid."

A letter, dated Rome, June 10, states, the: the mur.
derer Jardini has been at length discovered and arrested in
his villa before the Porta Postese. The Pope had already
given permission to take him even from the altar, should
he succeed in taking refuge in a church. The person last
wounded by him is however still alive, and there is some
' prospect of saving his life. Some persons are therefore of.
opinion, that Jardini may this time also escape the punish-
ment
of death. It is however false, that it is contrary to
• custom in Rome to pass sentence of death during the Ammo
Santo. Executions arc, indeed, avoided ; and, if it is not
thewAt lit to defy'. them till the end of the year, the cri-
minals are conveyed to some other town in the papal domi-'
nions, and there suffer their punishment. Nt vcrtheless,
there are instances of executions in Rome itself, when a
great and prompt example has been judged Leccssary.
