FRENCH PAPERS.

PAR's, FF.a. 16.—Letters from Palermo, cf the
14th and 23d January, speak in obscuie terms of a
conseiracy, the object of which was to deliver all
persons smidemned for political and other offences
teumlwison, and renew the commotions of lust year.
The military authorities discovered the plot, and a
great many arrests have taken place, amongst them
arc a few men of distinction.
In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Fri-
day, after some additional articles and amendments
had been rejected, the Chamber proceeded to the
discussion of the 4th article of the law of the Jour-
nals, which is stated in the following terms:—" If,
in the interval of the Sessions of the Chambers, cir-
cumstances of a serious nature should render the
established measures of security and repression in-
sufficient for the time, the laws of the 31st March,
1820, and 26th July, 1821, shall be again put in
face, by virtue of an ordinance from the King, coun-
tersigned by three Ministers.'' An amendment was
proposed by Gen. Foy, which produced a warm de-
bate, and the Chamber adjourned without coining to
the vote.
Pants, Fes. 19.—The account of the election
of the Abbe de Pradt, as Deputy for the Depart-
ment of lb is incorrect: 120 votes are re-
quired tor the majority. M. Mondre, the royalist
candidate, had 119 votes, de Pradt, 168.
ArGSBU no, FFB. 15.—Jar letters from Vienna
Ly to-day's post arc an means satisfactory res-
pecting the pacific intentions which have hitherto
been. ascribed in that city to the Russian Cabinet
• It is generally believed that important even's will
take ;lice in March, fur many persons consider war
as inevitable. The-Russians s. em to be quite tens-
quil in llesurabiaessebile the Turks make marches
and counter marches, which arc of no in"; ortance,
but much harass the inhabitants.
They are putting their fortresses on the Danube
i the must respectable state of defence —Many
European engineers (said to be English) have lately
:arrived from Constantinople, and direct ail the
works. There is no appearance of a speedy evacu-
ation of the principalities.
C:.RFU, JAN. 2.—The conduct of our masters
shows more and more their partiality in favour of
the 'lurks. Nut contented with having manifested
it by closing up by their Police all the channels by
which we might receive information of what is pass-
ing in Greece, they make war by anticipation against
Russia. The Ccteall-General of that Power at
Smyrna, being obliged to quit his post to escape
assassination, bud taken refuge at Cmgo, with the
persons belongini, to his office, wheru he lived
strictly watched by the police. He hoped that time
would bring some relaxation of this strictness,
end he had permitted his first. Dragoman to go to
Zante, where his wife and children had tasen refuge
on the burning of Patois. This officer thought the
wished fir moment was at hand when he should
jo u his falsity; but on arriving at the health office,
he received orders to re-emb Irk and to depart within
a cert..in time. In vain he alleged his char ,cter and
the righ:s of outlet's. A deaf ear vas turned to his
remenstrances, and he was obliged to depart. Since
that time the Governor has given notice to the Con-
sul-General of thc Emperor Alexaider, to his Le-
gathin, said all Russian subjects, to quit the lonian
Wanda. It is imagined, that all those expatriated
iadividuaLs, most of whom arc in very unfortunate
circumstances, are going to embark tor Italy.
Cons u, JAN. ;22.—Letters from the Moreaof the
9th of January, say that the Central Government
of the Greeks has sustained itself at Argos. The
Provisional Commission of Government is composed
of six Ecclesiastics and six secular members.—
Prince Kurudba, formerly Hospadar of Wallachia,
who has resided for some years at Pisa, in Italy, is
stained President, and his son-in-law, Prince M.
Suite°, who i. expected frum Russia, Vice-Presi-
dent. A vessel is sent to Leghorn to take them on
beard. Prince Centactizetio is sent to Russia, other
persons to other Courts of Europe to implore their
ur at least their neutrulity. The Senate of Argos
iuteuds to publish a declaration, in which it will
promise to adopt a form of government entirely mo-
narchical, and to 6r:•ept it from the hands of the
Cleistien Revers. The Greeks desire no other
