FRENCH PAPERS.

" The Ministry has thought proper only to pub-
lish an extract of the report of Admiral Duperre.
An :thermion of this kind in a piece of such import-
ance must certainly be founded on reasons of public
utility, which we shall respect; but whatever may
have been the motives of the Ministry for altering
the only official
.document that has been published
on the state of our fleet since it left Toulon, it has
not found it possible to conceal from men of reflec-
tion the general tone of despondency which reigns
in this relation made by one of the bravest and most
able seamen which France can boast of. The follow
ing fact justifies but too well the woful forebodings
that appear to haunt the mind of the brave Admiral.
Only a few days ago the journal of one of the vessels
stationed for the last two years before Algiers was
asked for, that it might be consulted. The result
was, that from that period the wind required to ap-
proach the coast of Algiers has never blown for
more than five days together, whilst twenty at least
are necessary for the landing of the army and the
materials for the campaign. The revelation of such
a fact shows better than whole columns of argumen-
tation the unskilfulness of the men, who, in a fit of
madness, and to satisfy their inordinate vanity and
ambition, have thrown away the treasures and the
most precious blood of France on the coast of
Africa.—Temps.
" The Gazette de France makes the following
observations upon the Royal Proclamation :-4 The
Proclamation rectifies the entire electoral question
as the King's reply to the address characterised the
Parliamentary question. Thus, then, in spite of
the combined efforts of the revolution and the defec-
tion to distort these as well as all other questions in
order to draw the people into an attempt against
their institutions, no doubt will remain as to the
principles of the present Government—principles
that are acknowledged by men of all parties. Royalty
itself has fixed the sense of all that divided us. The
foundation of our institutions is the Monarchy, and
it is against this basis that all the efforts of a faction
are directed.'

" The Messager des Chambres has the following
upon the same subject We acknowledge that
this official document bears no longer, thank God,
that significant and threatening originality which
some madmen were disposed to impute to it. We
find in it a repetition of the same sentiments against
the late Chamber : we see in it the opinions of the
Ministry of the Bth of August, with their misappre-
hension of the'intentions of that body, and conse-
quently with the same dissatisfaction. But, setting
aside this temper of mind, which can never change
till a more intimate acquaintance with the country
has been formed, the proclamation is a new engage-
ment to abide by the charter, rather than make a
rupture with it, and this, in our eyes, is a victory
gained by public opinion,which was found too strong
to be affronted by new menaces. As to the list of
Presidents of Colleges, it is just what we expected ;
it is formed almost entirely in the Ministerial inte-
rest—that is to say, composed of candidates whose
votes may be' reckoned upon in the Chamber., By
far the greater part of the Presidents-of the depart.
mental College are Peers of France, and who, con•
sequently, to whatever party they may be attached,
are to be relied on for the honour and integrity 'of
their conduct at the elections.'

"At length our wishes are fulfilled. Charles X. I
has spoken—and has spoken as a King and a father.
What a striking combination of dignity, franknesgf
and benevolence ! It is indeed our King who ad-
dresses us, for every word is stamped with the feel-
ings of his heart. His language is worthy of the
Ruler of the State, the King and Guardian of 0
great nation. There now can be no excuse for error
—no pretext for inditTerence. The King has tia-
furled his standard. Here is the rallying point of
honour and duty, and every where else there 10
treasom and revolt. What royalist can hesitate to
answer the summons of his beloved King ? and
when the good are animated with a new zeal, 8
secret shame (may it be that of repentance) will
arrest and disperse the bad. Victory cannot but be
on our side.—Drapeau Blanc.
" The King has spoken, and his language, 0
usual, possesses that character of dignity and autho-
rity which suffices to put down the factious, and
confound their audacity. The language is calculated
to enlighten the nation. The King himself points'
out the hostile faction;. Let the people listen to
this sovereign voice. The eye of the King is fixed
upon every public want, and upon every danger'
The factious treipass upon his authority under the
pretence of the Charter ; the Charter itself stando
greatly in need of the King's authority. For what
would become of the Charter, our liberty, our pri'
vileges, ourselves, without the King ? Let us con'
gratulate royalty on the firmness which it displays it'
