FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Glebe]
The Paris Papers of Sunday, and private letters of that
date, contain intelligence of importance. On the preceding
afternoon the French Government had been apprized by a
telegraphic communication, of an entire change of Minis-
ters in Portugal. The names of the new Ministers are
given in one of the French Papers, as follows :—M. Souza-
Baradaa, Count Aloizza D. Diego, General Calla, M. S.
Pinheiro-Ferreira, Admiral Quintella, and M. Geraldes.
It is stated that these persons are respected for their great
talents Ind for the attachment which they have shown to
constitutional principles. Some of them were Ministers
under the Cortes. "Itis a singular fact," says a private
letter from Paris, " that these Ministers have b
razil,n a
and
ap-
pointed by a decree of the Emperor, given in B
that Sir Charles Stuart, who brought it to Lisbon, bad autho-
rity to declare that it would be enforced if necessary by
the British Government." The same letter states that Sir
Al sales Stuart was urged by the French and Austrian
Ambassadom, particularly the former, to delay the procla-
mation of the Constitution until they should have received
instructions on the subject from their respective Govern-
ments, but, that he replied that his instructions were pe-
remptory, and would admit of no delay. The Constitu-
tiou was published on the 13th, amid the shouts of the
populsce.
Then is a curious instance in the Ore pea" Banc of the
teetinz of equality which still occasionally manifests itself
in Paris. A woman of the lower orders having enteral the
elegant cafe which has bent named (after General Foy)
Cafe Foy, and called for a bottle of beer—it was refused to
her, with an intimation that the cafe she had chosen was
not exactly the place for such a custo mer. The feelings of
the woman being roused, she b:gan to abuse the people of
the house, and conducted herself so improperly that a
guard was sent for, by whom she was conveyed before the
Commissar; of Police, in the Quartier d'Antin. The
crowd, deciding that his was a violation of the rights of
equality, instantly arrested the proprietor of the cafe,
and conveyed him forcibly to the same place. Thejudgm
eauent
of the " Solomon du Quartier .d'Antin, ' says the Drap
Blanc, had not transpired.

pealed by violent vomiting, without any other cause than a p_artieu-

Lard Gower, an attach/ of the British Embassy at the Court of

A pillow letter Rom Constantinople announces that Mr. Strat-

....tied the new troops offered by the Reis Effendi to replace the
Janissaries in the service of tine British Legation. His Excel-

had been given up to the Waiwede of Galata, they would have
been strangled.
Extract of a private letter of the 17th instant, from
Niadrid :
Nothing is talked of here but tLe affairs of Portugal. Courier
&ler courier strives in rapid succession. and all proceed without de-
lay to the King at Solar de Cabra. The contents of their despatches
are not allowed to transpire. but something always esespes, and the
tullowing may be depended upon :—When Sir Charles Stuart
landed at Lisbon,. he wrote immediately to Count de Porto Santo,
Minister for Foreign Affairs, stating that he was desirous of a pri.
vate interview with him as early as possible. The latter replied
that he had resigned his post. but, as a private individual, he would
be happy to coolers with Sir Charles. Ills Excellency then de-
termand to go directly to the Regent, who was at Celdes. After
the truel compliments. Sir Charles made known to the Princess
exisosive powers wi h which he was invested far the execution
of tile deem,. and designs of the Emperor Dan Pedro. He then
bogged the Regent to appoint a Minister for For. ign Affairs
with whom he could confer. The difficulty of r.onilnating a
suer:eater to 1.1. de Potto Santo, and the importance of Sir
Chatter Stuart's mission, inductd the Princess Regent to return
en the 12th to Lisbon, although her health was not restored.
and such a coon, was contrary to the opinion of her physi-
limo. To these details, which are authentic, others of a less
certain nature an lidded. It is se;,l that lifter the return of Sir Chas.
Stuart from Caldas, a new Cou..eil of Regency, of which the Count
ete Patinella forms part, was nominated; tar this Council his Facet-
:eney communicated his powers and several autograph letters of
"toe Pedro. After these communicatioss the letters of Peerage
.ere sent, and insteuctions were published illtive to the election
the Members of the Cortes, pursusace a
the 5,h anie,e of the
Coostinnion. The proclamation of the Ptinc:ss D tuna 3latia do,
dioris Queen is to take Vacs immediately, as well as the making
oath of allegiance to the Princes.. Our whole court is enraged,
and the Portuguese Prince's's here betray mote diecontent than the
Members of the Spanish Royal Family. The Council of State tea.
targets the same want of decision. Many complaints and decla-
mations arc heard, but no determination is formed. We are assured
that at Orman the servile Royalists rimed to excite a tumult, but
Acre promptly checked by the Governor Salines. Theactivity and
good measures taken by the Government prevented this banditti of
dasan.fied persons being roughly handled by the populace. A ru-
mour reside that the French Government has sent such an answer
to our Cabinet as shows that it Is now convinced of Its error in the
.coo-execution of the decree of Andujat. The reply states that it is
mooselblit for France to waste her ueseures any longer upon Spain,
A.,4 that the legality and legitimacy of the act of the Emperor of
limit are inewrestable. The conduct of our Government proves
that It is convinced of the same thing.
