FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Quotidienne of Tuesday, July 5. )
PARIS, JULY 4.--However accustomed we
have been to see the Ministers every day sacri-
.fice the interests of Monarchical France to the
preser%ation of the personal power, we were far
from expecting the decision they have taken with
respect to M. Hyde de Neuville, by placing
him en disponibilith. Such, then, is the reward
of this Ambassador, for 30 years' sacrifices,
and for the fortune he has lost in serving the
Royal cause. But what imports it to the Presi-
dent of the Council, that for the service of the
Bourbons., M. Hyde de Neuville has been three
times condemned to death—thut he has passed
20 years in exile—that his devotedness has caused
not only his own ruin, but that of all his family,
the members of which have filled the revolution-
ary prisons from the Tower of the Temple to the
dangeons of Guiana ? What matter so many
services and so many misfortunes ? Their re-
membrance must he effaced by the wrong of
having been an independent deputy—of hav-
ing defended in the Tribune the interests of
France, and of not having thought himself oblig-
ed, though his Majesty's Ambassador, to main-
tain that the law of the Rentes would enrich the
country, and that all the legislative measures
proposed by the Ministry were favourable to the
monarchy and religion. The Royalists will not
be deceived ; they will perceive whence the
blow comes that strikes one of our ablest diplo-
matists, and it would be in vain for the Ministry
or its Journals to undertake to blind them to the
motives which have induced it to offer toM.de Neu-
!Julie, as a favour on the coronation,only the placing
him en disponibilite. Thus it is a Ministry formed
under the auspices of a Monarchical opinion, that
strikes the Statesman whom its predecessors had
respected, ♦Shen he had not acquired the new
claims which he now has to the gratitude of the
Government by the only treaty of commerce
made since the Restoration, and by his noble
conduct in Portugal. It may be affirmed before-
hand that this disgrace will be considered by all
France as the recompence of an honourable inde-
dendence ; it will see in it also, on the part of
the French Ministry, its proof of a condescension
which we will not characterise for the policy of
the British Ministry.

(From the Journal des Debuts.)
PAttIS, JULY 4.—Baron Hyde de Neuville has
just been placed en disponibilite. It is asserted,
that we are henceforth to have in Portugal only a
legation of the second order. Is not the Em-
bassy, perhaps, suppressed in order to suppress
the Ambassador
After enumerating, like the Qnotidienne, the
services of M. de Neuville, the writer says :
" Let us hope that the disponibiliti will not be a vain word,
and that he will soon re-enter the career which his zeal and his
talents had opened to him. _ _

" However this may be, it is probable that his recal from
Lisbon will give great pleasure at London. There are reasons
for this which are apparently known to the President of the
Council."

( From the Etoile of July 6.)
PAUIS, JULY s.—lt is a remarkable circum
stance with what affectation all the oppositioi
journals announce to-day that the French Ambas
sador in Portugal is placed en disponibilili. We
have not to enter into an explanation on this
measure, because it is connected with a policy
which cannot, and must not, become a subject of
discussion. We are ignorant whether the per-
sonage of whom they speak has done any thing
to incur their regard, but we should be much
astonished if he were not embarrassed by it.
The Moniteur has in the non-official part a let-
.:ter from Cadiz, of the 27th, stating, that the
- French Aviso, carrying two six-pounders and six
pedereros, which had arrived this day from Tou-
lon, had had a rencontre in the straits of Gibral-
tar, on the 24th May, with a schooner and a
tnistic, which he pursued among many English
and Spanish merchantmen. The Commander,
Lieutenant de la Rochassiere, having fired a
blank shot, the schooner fired with a ball, and
on the French Captain's demanding the reason,
commenced a brisk fire, and summoned him to
take down his colours and send a boat on board.
Jibe mistic having joined in the fire against the
Levrier, the latter suffered much in her rigging,
&c., and the flag was shot away, but was soon
afterwards hoisted again by a sailor, who fixed
it in the shrouds, in spite of the grape-shot to
-which he was exposed. After a sharp action of
50 minutes, the two vessels were obliged to re-
treat, and the Levrier proceeded on her voyage.
These vessels, probably either pirates or smug-
glers, took the Levrier for a Spanish custom-
house vessels• and thought to capture it.

NEW CHURCHES-ST. ANDREW'S PARISH,
HOLBORN.

Yesterday, pursuant to public requisition, a
Tery numerous meeting of the inhabitants of this parish was
held in the Grand Inquest-room, St. Andrew's Court, for the
purpose of receiving the Report of the Select Vestry upon the
subject of erecting two additional places of Worship, a Church
and a Chapel, within the said parish, and to consider the expe-
diency thereof.
At a quarter past ll o'clock., the Rector, the Rev. GILBERT
BBILESFORD, took the Chair, and was supported by H. A.
klerewether, Esq. and Robert Walton, Esq., of Lincoln's-inn,
Barristers; Messrs. Griffiths, Taylor, Hammond, and Jepson,
Vestry Clerks; Anthony Robinson, Esq., Mr. Deputy Reeve,
Alr. John Beauchamp, and several other Gentlemen.
Long before the Chair was taken, the most determined hos-
tility was evinced by the greater number of those present, and
on the the Rev. Mr. Beresford rising to explain the object for
which the assembly was convened, immense clamour ensued.
Mr. FEARON, in the midst of the tumult, stood up, and order
having been obtained, made some very pertinent remarks on
the impropriety of opposing any measure by mere noise, in
place of fairly discussing it on its intrinsic merits.
Mr. GRIFF rr Hs was then suffered to read the Report, which
contained the following passage :
" The Select Vestry suggested, that an additional Church
and Chapel should be erected—the Church to be situate on
an eligible site in gray's Inn-lane, and the Chapel on Saf-
fron-hill.
" The Church Commissioners having consented to defray a
part of the expense, the cost of the parish was estimated at
20,001., to be raised by annuities on lives."
Mr. Walton, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Dando, and other Gentle.
men, addressed the Meeting, which became noisy and tumul-
tuous, when Mr. Merewether proposed an adjournment, which
was negatived, when the assembly separated without apparently
coming to any resolution.
