FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Rtoik dated Thursday.'
Pasta, OCT. 27.
Ala Excellency the Minister of the Interior haft communicated to
the Prefects the intention of the King not to have his fete
Charles • Ihiyi celebrated this year. All French hearts will easily
eel what motives have dictated this royal revolve.
In all the cities of the Peninsula the inhabitants do not Want in-
viting to render their pious homage to the memory of the august
Chief of the Royal llobse. Among the capitals of the Pn,vinces
which have celebrated services for Louis XVIII. Seville, Palencia,
Grenada, and ,Malaga, have distinguished themselves by tilt pomp
and the majesty which have marked these imposing ceremenies.
The following is from the A Ng:hares Ga.:ettc of (Jet. 22:
The Cannon Paella has returned to Mitykne for the third time,
after continual battles. It is said the Greek flee: has lamely lost
thirty vessels captured and sunk. Hut Weyer; this news should lie
confirmed, it is at least certain that the Along, and the islands of
Hydra and of Spetzia, have not been attacked, and that the island
of Samna repelled an attack. The results, then, of the present
campaign are still more insignificant than those of the preceding
one. As to the battles of Sumchin, on the 10th of Sepiendar, we
learn that the united Meet of the !tlu-sulmans lost a frigate of 44
guns, two brigs, and forty small vessels. The Greeks lost six fire-
ships and a brig. According to some accounts, they have re.taken
the brig. The Sultan has just named I Puha of halonica.
A vessel arrived at Tchesme, in thirteen days, saw the 1 human
fleet in the waters of Samoa. The Greeks followed at a di-tonce.
It is announced from Smyrna, under date of Septeniber 22, that a
brig going from Alexandria in Constantinople, laden with *LIM
quintals of Moths coffee, and 22 chests of pare (amell Turkish
coins) which the Paella sent to the Sultan, has been taken by the
Greeks, end carried into Hydra.
The Snettrurou, a Turkish jimrnal, has ceased to appear. It will
be replaced by the Oriental Spectator.

AIMIEIII4, SEPT. 10.

The last expedition of the 1;11041 not having been accurately
detailed by the English journals, we give a circumstantial account
of the affair. The English arrived before Algiers cm the 10th of
July ; their fleet consisted of 22 vessels : one ship of Pil guns. five
frigates, four bomb-vessels, carrying rears, four cutters, two VW.
vettes, two briga;two transports, and one steam-vessel. Upon the
lath, the .tdmind moored, with four frigates, almost within cannons
shot ; a cutter having approached the road rather too close, when a
calm arose, all the Junin ships of the Aigerinea, to the number of
35, fired upon her : the forts of the city alvs opened their fire, but
a ithnut reaching the English. A light breeze having sprung up,
the cutter sheered tiff, and the battle, which commenced at six to
the evening, ceased at seven. I'he ship of the English Admiral,
and the frigate, fired upon the enemy during this trifling affair.
Upon the following day the weighed anchor and sheered
off. Nothing can give an idea of the enthusiasm of the A Igerines
after this affair. The courage of the multitude was iiillained by •
thousand ridiculous tales, and the l)cr sent considerable sums of
money to be distributed among those who had distinguished them-
'selves.

—.—
The English did not make their appearance again until the 24th
of July. I..pun this day they entered the mad in oohs of battle,
and everything seemed to announce a serious and general attack.
The Algerines were the first to commence the tire ; but scarcely
were the tint shies discharged, when. to the astonishment of all,
the English Admiral hoisted a flog to demand a parley. A
'frigate hoisted the same signal : but, not wilistanding these pacific
demonstrations, the Algerian contimied to lire hum their bat-
teries. Then a small vend was detached from the Admiral,
and the lire of the batteries having ceased, by the order of
the Hey, the Captain of the port sent a small boat to the
English fleet, which carried to the shore an English officer of rank,
charged with propositions to the Iley, on the part of the Admiral.
The Hey gave instant audience to the (Officer, who informed him
that Admiral Neal would make the same propositions as before,
and that if he did not sende to them in twit hours, he would attack
the city. Tell your Admiral, replied the Hey. that I have sworn
by the true God, and by Religion, that as long as I live your Con-
sul shall not put a fait in my States. Tell hive besides, that I have
my sword in my hand, and that if in two hones he do not com-
mence the tire, I will. Notwithstanding this arrogance the nego-
tiations were continued, and ,he English were contented to substi-
tute another Consul :or hint the Algerinea would not seceive. Peace
was signed on the 26,1 i July, and at 10 o'clock the forts saluted
the squadron, and the salute was returned by the Admiral's ship.
There are dift'erent reasonings upon the conduct of the English on
the occasion, and the opinion rat the greater number of Europeans
is, that they wish rather to raise than to depots the spirit of thin
barbarous horde. If this was their object, they may be said to have
perfectly sueceedtd; fur the Regency already threatens Sardinia
and Holland, and arms its corsairs against the Spaniards.

On the 14th of this month our city was the theatre of an event
which has Calined • great sensation anintig the inhabitauts. Tie
Government had reeeived front the Cabit.ct of Berlin letters de-
manding that the Governor of the PO4lllOl the late :llar,ihal lArtniies,
fluke of Montebello, who tins resided at Itresden sonic time, should
he arrest's% and conveyed to Berlin. These Ictiont canal that he
was not only accused of uNittg demagogical language, but of being
the author of a calumnious work against a Sovereign.
Our Government acceding to the requisition of the Cabint t of
Bolin, police agents acre sent to the resolence of the individual in
question, in order to arms him, but it appears that the young
Dukes de lllontehello opposed the execution or this ine.tsure. In
the meantime the circumstance became known, weal a great minihtr
of persons ass: Oiled hetore the woe of the hotel occupied by they
foreigners. The I 'onitnarolant of the place, informed of what had
happe, ed, and feoring that serious tumults would result, marAted
of trams, and dilICTSed the crowd, took possession of
the hotel, and carriod of the accused palll,ll, who, in the evening,
was plae.d in a voiture, and sent under escort to Berlin.

This journal, after estimtiting the irtlen•aity of the migrants at
30 millions of renter, at is per cent, iv we stated yesterday, ob-
serves:(
This valuation Is consideral.ly beneath the faithful calculations
which it has pleased some persons to detail, and according to which
they endeavostred to slum the intpossihility of liquidating this
debt. which may be justly callednational. Whiny millions upon
a builgvt of nine hundred do not present a difficult question, and
the less: financial head will experience but little embarrassment in
providing the means of disc:la...ging it. The sinking fund first
presents itself. Endowed in a great proportion with especial reve-
nues, it would not be impossible to reduce its revenues; and we do
not think the result of this operation could sensibly diminish our
credit. It is to he presumed, besides. 11151 in the opinion of specu-
lators, Me areomplishuent of a transaction, the object of which
Is to augment the elements of our security and prosperity, would
mole than mplare and compensate what would be taken from the
sinktag fund. Even if it should not he permitted to take entirely
from this Mid the amount of the indentiaty, it might, at least, be
ennui upon to furnish its contingent in this act of jumiee, whirls
could be completed by economy in various (Am ; and, lastly, by
a loan, wltleh is coil,: as necessary. in our eyes, es those contracted
to par the debts of the Revolution sad of the empire. Resides,
the difficulty is has in our times in the means of finding the thirty
millions, than in certain demilsof execution, much more coolish-
rated than an operation which is merely a plodding afrair for our
financial companies—we allude to the establishment .1 the rights
of the heirs and executors of the condemned and banished anti.
graLts. Its. what laws are they to be recognised and judged ?
Shall we refer to the civil code, or to the rerrieries of our ancient
commie? It scents to us that the date of the law of indemnity
should fix that of jurisprudence. Fur the establishment of these
rights, mut her those of the creditors, ought the indemnity to be
ronsisirred as freehold (huseohiaerw)? How shalt we explain wills
in which nothing has been said of eventual inheritance? Thus,
for example. a simple and general executor, who is not a relation
of the emigrant under whose hut art he inherits, shoats reeetee
compensation to the prejudice of the natural heirs ?
Vi a will presume that all these difficulties will be resolved by
the law whieh will be presented to the Chambers; but in foretelling
that the tribunals must necessarily Interfere in a variety of cases,
we express our hopes that nothing may delay the compensetion to
the direct original proprietors. who exist in great numbers. and
who ought to Le made a separate class. These persons hare wetted
II long time, and arc for the greater part so old that there would be
avelty in submitting their fate to the (onus of law."
