FitEl&'ll PAPERS.

nuns, JULY 29 —Yesterday, after dinner, his
Majesty transacted business with the Duke of Rich-
lieu.
LEGHORN, JULY 9.—We learn from the coasts
of Africa that the Algcrincs and Tunisians are
arming to aid the Porte against the Greeks.
VIENNA, JULY I7.—Great activity reigns in our
cabinet ; despatches arrive and couriers are expected
daily. The principal secretaries are overwhelmed
with increased labours. Although rigorous secrecy
maintained, and nothing transpires, yet it is pre-
sumed, from the routes the ditkrent couriers take,
and the number of estafettes which arrive from, and
depart for, the frontiers of Turkey, that all tires,:
movements arc connected with the affairs of the
Porte.
It appears certain that the representations trans.
mated by the Turkish Cabinet to the Court of St.
Petersburgh, respecting Baron de Strogonoff, arc
accompanied with a proposition to fix the bases of
a new treaty, which shall consolidate the peace be-
tween Russia and tl:e Forte. According to private
adviccs, it was not the Porte that broke off corn-
municatio,n with the. Baron de Strogonoff, but the
latter, who refused all intercourse and withdrew to
the country. The decision of the Emperor of Rus-
sia is expected with extreme impatience.
JULY I B.—Great activity prevails in our diplo-
matic departments. A special commission composed
of members front the Aulic Council of War, has
been exclusively charged with all the business rela-
tive to the movements of the troops on the frontiers
of Turkey.
The Austrian Observer still maintains silence re.
specting the affairs of Greece. This silence is the
more unwelcome to the feelings of our politicians,
as it is well known that it is only through the chan-
nel of this demi-official paper that they can hope to
receive any certain infirrtuation about the relations
between the Porte and Russia. _ _

Our cordon on the frontiers of Turkey daily re-
ceives inforccments ; but the strictest neutrality
continues to be observed.

FRANKFORT, JULY 23.—Wc learn that the Porte
has solicited the mediation of France and Great
Britain. It is also asserted that the Ottoman Mi-
nister has transmitted to the Court of Petersburg!'
many notes of complaint against the Baron do Stro-
gonoff. The Porte deMands the recall of this am-
bassador, whom they accuse of first breaking off the
correspondence.
MADRID, JULY O.—No idea can be formed of
the anxiety of the national subscribers to the new
loan of 300 millions of rcals; the officers of the com-
mittee named to receive offers arc scarcely able to
meet them. The Minister of Finances having as-
sembled at his house the principal merchants of the
city to consult anti to come to an understanding
with them, fitly-four assembled according to the in-
vitation, and all immediately subscribed considerable
sums. The bank of San Carlos alone took 1,500
shares of 750 francs each, reserving the power of
taking others immediately. The loss will be filled
up in less than six weeks. These miracles of credit
mark the new era.
Aubsutinci, JULY 2:3.—1t is affirmed by a pri.
vale letter front the Ottoman Porte has sent an
agent, charged with a mission of the highest int-
pot twice, to the Scah of West Persia. On the other
hand, it is also said that the Court of Petersburgh
has also entered upon negociations with the Eastern
Monarch. _ _ .

The intelligence that a corp:; of the ltlssian army
has entered Moldavia is not yet confirmed. All the
reports respectite the Russian forces have been sin-
gularly contradictory of each other during some
days past; however, it cannot be long crc the de-
cision of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh be known.
HANOVEK, JULY 18.—Our Chambers are pro
rogued until winter. A deficiency in the revenue
is talked of, as also a personal contribution; thus a
tax upon industry will be adopted to cover this de-
ficiency. The debates have been very stormy in the
Lower Chamber, and the majority of the deputies
have strongly protested against any exception in
future in regard to taxation.
The (,azeiteof Lausanne of July 20 contains the
following article :—" A very recent letter from
Trieste informs us of a declaration of war proclaim-
ed by the Russians against the Porte, and of the
march of all the corps of the Russian army towards
the frontiers. That declaration is founded on the
multiplied outrages experienced by the Russian
agents, the infraction of existing treaties between
the two Powers, and the refusal of the Divan to
satisfy the claims frequently made upon it. If this
intelligence is confirmed, it will be productive of
immense results."

On Monday his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cun►bridge and suite left town fur Dover, where
they will einbalk fin. Calais. His Royal Highnes.:,
will juin the Pritte,ss Augusta at BrusseL, when
they will prtx►;cd on th►:ir way to Hanover.

NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE.

The following is an extract of a letter from a
tradesman of respectability at St. Helena, employed
upon the funeral of Buonaparte. !t is dated.

"St. !Mena, May 20, 1821."
" You will of course have heard of lluonaparte's dissolu-
tion, but perhaps a few ficts from an eye. witness respect.
ing that important event may not be deemed tedious. lbw-
na:Parte had be en sick at intervals ever since I have been
on the island, but never considered dangerously so by the
faculty, until about two months back, when he evidently
began to decline, and of course every possible attention
was paid to Min, but without effect ; he died on the 5111
instant, Saturday evening, at half-past five o'clock. After
this he %vas dres,ed iu full main in, with cocked hat, bouts
acid spurs, and laid out in state.
•''l lie same morning I received orders for the coffins for
the illustrious deceased, which were of course executed
with all 'possible dispatch. 'flee shell was made of oue.
inch mahogany, lined with tin and covered with lead out-
side. The tin was afterwards covered with white satin;
pillow arid mattress of the same. 'l•he outside coffin was
made of Spanish mahogany, the top and sides tine solid
curls; and I dovetailed it together and polished it with
my own hands in the highest possible manner that my
poor abilities would allow of. There was no inscription
whatever on the coffin.

.... .
" On Wednesday morning I rode up to Longwood, and
inclosed the body in the coffins, with silver-head screws.
Inclosed with him in the coffin were 4 silver urn contain.
ing his heart, and another containiog his stomach, and all
the coins that were issued daring his reign; together with
a knife and fork, a spoon, and one plate, all of silver. I
saw his heart before it was soldered up in the urn, which
was permitted to me as a great favour.
"The pall at the funeral was of purple velvet, ou which
was placed the cloak or mantle and sword, w
parte wore at the battle of Waterloo, and on the head of
the coffin a cushion and erucilix.—The coffin was placed
on a hearse drawn by tour of his own carriage horses, and
the procession (which the writer describes in nearly the
same manner us stated in former accounts) moved towards
the place of interment which was his own choice.
" Soon alter lie went to Longwood to reside, he coin•
plaitied of the badness of the water, and at that time Ma-
dame Bertrand lived at Mutt's Gate, about one mile from
Longwood, at the top of a very pretty fertile
known here by the name of Sampler Vale. Buonaparte
frequently visited Madame Bertrand, and observed how
very superior the water which be drank there was to that
which he got at Longwood; and, on being informed that
it was procured from a swing down the vale, he express-
ed a wish to walk and sec the well, lle went there with
Madame Bertrand, and after exam' g the water, he
noticed a willow tree glowing about ten yards from the
well. Viewing it in silence for a few seconds, he said,
' Should I die on this island, I would wish to be buried un-
der that tree; and I will drink no water but from this
spring.' When he returned home he furnished one of his
M.1'1'41113, a Chinese, with two silver bottles, holding about
a gallon each, and sent him immediately to the spring for
water—and the sante Chinese has had no other employ-
uncut titan fetchtug water fur the last live years.
The land where the corpse of this extraordinary inau
is deposited, belongs to Mi. Torbet, a very respectable
shopkeeper ill James Town, it is now called • Napoleon's
Vale,' and is very much ft equented by the inhabitants.
The ;pave was lined with stone, and covered with a plain
slab of the same material.
