LONDON. TUESDAY, JANUAILT 90, 1824.

Saturday's French Papers ars very barren of intelli-
gates. The Jeered des Debala has an article contradict-
ing the intention to attack Brazil, and treating the Col/-
vie/a tale of the Brest Reparations as mere romance. In
Vie statement the Frenchk paper is, we believe, sincere:
the Brost fleet was a mere " vision of the brain;' and
Brazil will not be attacked by any French force. France
cannot and will not war with this country and America;
it would be the ruin of her commerce, and paralyse all her
reeeorese : it is as much her interest as that of Great Britain
so remain at peace, and she could net make hostile tlemon-
stnitiwne against South America without a rupture with this
constr.". Count Palmella's mission to England was a fiction of
-the Nubs description—one of the hundred-tongued rumours
of the day. What Don Pedro's decided objects have been
in the dissolution of the Brazilian Congress, and the arbi-
trary deportation of its Members, is yet to be known. But
enfeebled Portugal can do nothing against these distant
shores; since the departure of Madeira, her cause in Atne-
ries is utterly hopeless. The marine of Portugal is
something better than that of Spain, but not strong
enough to meet the energy and efforts of Lord
Cbcbrane, who fights for Brazil. The sceptre of both
Spain and Portugal in the New World is broken for ever;
their deputed supremacy can never be recalled.—The
Ottoman, it appears, has determined to niake another
desperate effort far dominion in Greece. After three weeks
deliberations in the Divan, it has been resolved that the
Grand Vizier should lead the forces of that empire against
the Mores, and try to crush Greek liberty by a last onset
of its barbarous hordes. The Capitan Pacha, whose late
campaign• has been so disastrous, will fill, it is said, the
Turkish Vizier's place while absent. If the Greeks are
united, and act with their past courage and resolution, this
attempt will have the same result as those they have
already defeated. The Vizier can do nothing; his sail-
goluary rabble will be dangerous only to the unartncil
around them. Greece already is beyond the power of het
barbarous oppressor ; she btu struck with too determined
an arm for her freedom, and nude her league too strong.
to be now crushed by any Jew efforts of her implacable
enemy.

The Session of Parliament for 1524 is now on the ev:..
of openingi; and though the most important domestic con-
cerns await its discussion, as far as regards the foreign m-
istime of the country, all is likely to be pacific. The
elements of hostility against this country, throughout the
Continent, have long been collecting, but they are not yet
matured. The late decided declaration of America has
come like a clap of thunder on the confederated despots,
and broke up all their plans. No combination they could
make could stand against the overwhelming power of Great
Britain and America united : such a league would sweep
every sea, and shake to its base the throne of every tyrant
in Europe. There is a mass of discontent throughout the
Continent, that needs but a propelling power to rase it
into instant and dangerous activity. If Great Britain,
with her mighty influeac?, exerted herself for this pur-
pose, the oldest dynasties would soon tumble. With such
a marine as that of England and America united, every
port of Europe would be closed up, and net a Fre:ich
ur Russian ship would sail that would not be captured.
All the foreign colonies of France would fall to this
country or America, and all the resources of Russia wou'.d
ie.: annihilated at once. Italy would soon he encouraged to
rtse against the hated Bohemian, and a rlagper be rais rl top
the throat of every foreigner within the Appenints. Spain
and Portugal, assisted from abroad, would fling off the I
detested yoke, and the tottering fabric of tyranny and
superstition would fall together at a single blow. The .
league of England and America would, in its tremendous
affects, sweep the Continent like a whirlwind, carrying all
before it like the wind of the desert. The menace is
already sufficient: it has struck terror to the Continental
Cabinets, and we shall bare no foreign war. The attempts
on South America will be limited to lucre intrigue: France
will gradually cover that vast continent with her agents,
and spend immense sums to raise plots and discontent ;
but no expedition under her flag will sail fruit her
parts, or from those of Spain. Thus, 113 for.
tlity is likely to agitre this country soon, or oectipy :
z'ae attention of the British Parliament; but a ituntbr:r of
domestic subjects of the utmost importance will press!
upon its attention at once. The situation of Ireland will I
be one of the fotemost ; it will be early brought in
review before the House, and followed by the: th,die
Question. The state of the West Imlia islands, and the!
• •
negro population, will rank next in itnpartance : bus u
subject requiring the calmest consideration and oust illl-
- judgment. If the wild views of the ahol tionists were
to be attended to, these interesting colonies ti,V,!t be lust ier
ever; but of this we have little apprehension; nsiiher the
ciovernment nor Legislature can he so misled. Tae arbi-
trary powers of the magistracy in this country will
also come in review before Parliament on a motion
for the repeal of the Vagrant Act : they have latterly
keen mast extravagant and oppressive, epposct! alike
to the feelings and the liberty of the subject. Thus,
though Great Britain remain at peace--a eonsununatien in
bury way most ardently to be wished— a number of:
questions of vital concern will occupy the attention of
Parliament, and render the approaching r*,,,ion in every
way moat interesting. The Foreign Minister, of course, will
lead on the Monte:aid Bambara, supported principally by
