FRENCY PAPERS.
(From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday, June 28.)
" TOULON, JUNE 2r.
" The enigma is solved. Rear-Admiral Hugon, as we learn
from the crew of the L!Dise corvette, is going to the mouth of the
Tagus. He will join before Lisbon the fleet from Brest, under
Vice-Admiral Roussin. On the 15th the squadron was met be-
yond the Balearic islands, sailing with a good wind towards the
Straits. How much do we desire to hear of the fall of the op-
pressor of Portugal!
" The Loiret brig sailed yesterday to survey the coast of Algiers.
The Barbary Powers have always prevented such surveys, so that
our knowledge of the coasts of these countries is very imperfect ;
to this may be ascribed the loss of the Aventure and the Silene.
The Minister of Marine will do a great service to his country and
to the maritime powers.

(From Le Temps.)
"The Echo d'Etat, a journal published at Metz, says—' Several
regiments of the 3,1 military division, of which Metz is the
capital, have just received orders to proceed immediately to the
frontiers of Belgium.'

" In the budget of the Ministers of the Interior, there is a sum
for erecting a high altar in the church of the Pantheon. As the
Pantheon has been restored by a Royal Ordinance to its primi-
tive destination, it is asked, what kind of mysteries will be cele-
brated on this high altar ?
" Letters from Toulon of the 9.!st speak of farther armaments
to be made in that port. Besides the Superbe, of the line, the
Nestor and Couronne are to be fitted out. The Proserpine,
Thetis, and Themis frigates are also spoken of, the fitting out of
which was ordered some time ago, and almost immediately
countermanded."

(From the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.)
(PRI% ATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
- Off the Azores, on board the frigate
Melpomene, June 13.
" Since our departure from Brest the weather has been gene-
rally unfavourable. On the 7th of June, four days after the cap-
ture of the Urania, we chased during the whole day a schooner,
plying as a packet between Terceira and England, and only came
up with her in the evening. At the time of her leaving Ter.
ceira, no intelligence had been received there of the differences
existing between France and Portugal. On the 9th we opened
a communication with the island. The Marquis of Palmellasent
us one of his aide-de-camps, to give M. Rabaudy, our comman-
der, all the information he might require.
" M. Palmella is said to have proposed to him to take troops
on board the frigate, and the brig Endymion, for the purpose of
landing them in Portugal, and offered to guarantee the success of
an expedition against Don Miguel. This, however, I relate to
you as mere hearsay.

.‘ On the 11th we captured a trading-vessel, and on the 13th
we came up with another bound for Portugal. We at first sup.
posed her to be a large corvette; and nothing can equal the joy
displayed by our crew at the prospect of an engagement with the
enemy. But she proved to be alarge three-masted vessel, coming
from Bahia, laden with sugar, coffee' and tobacco. We took
from her some fresh provisions, of which we stood in the greatest
need, having only shipped as much as would last for eight days,
and we are now thirty-seven days at sea."

(From the Gazette tie France of Wednesday.)
llepresentations have lately been made by the English Go.
vernment to our Cabinet upon the affitirs of Portugal. It is
feared that the claims of indemnity which will be brought for-
ward by the English merchants, for the losses which the French
squadron made them experience, will have the effect of involving
this matter in a great deal of difficulty.
The report of the appointment of Lord Durham to the office
of Secretary of State for Foreign Affaires, in the room of Lord
Palmerston, gains more credence every day.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.)
Yesterday afternoon, at live o'clock, a courier arrived at Paris
from St. Petersburgh, with an answer to the application made by
the French Government with a view to stop the further effusion
of blood in Poland. There is every reason to hope that this im-
portant negotiation will produce results equally favourable to good
policy and humanity.
It is stated that the Court of Vienna is making pressing appli.
cations to the French Government for the Italian refugees, who
have taken up their abode at Marseilles, to be obliged to retire
into the interior of France. This demand is grounded on the fa-
cility with which the refugees may keep up intercourse with Italy
by means of the packets.
The Warsaw Gazettestates that an association has been formed
in that city for the purpose of repressing the calumnies of cer-
tain journalists, who, in case they should refuse to give satisfac-
tion, will receive corporal punishment from the members of the
society.
Letters from `Vilna state that the disturbances which have
taken place in that Government have thrown great obstacles in
the way of trade, and pr..duced a general rise in articles of con-
sumption, particularly sugar and tobacco.

THE INFLUENZA.

(From the London Medical Gazette for Saturday, July :2.)

Influenza, in a severe form, is at present prevailing exten-
sively in London and' some of the provincial towns. It com-
mences like a common cold, but is soon discovered to be more
serious ' • the constitutional disturbance being much more consi-
derable than the catarrhal symptoms would seem to account for.
Running at the nose and eyes, with racking pain over the brows,
are the most frequent local affections ; which, however, are often
accompanied or succeeded by cough, and sometimes by nausea
and an irritable state of the bowels. The feelings of languor, op-
pression, and discomfort, are always considerable, and sometimes
very distressing; being occasionally attended with anxiety at the
chest and tendency to faint. Some have severe muscular pains,
of a rheumatic character, with tenderness of the integuments.
The attacks generally last from two days to a week, passing off
with perspiration, and, in the worst cases, leaving the patients
considerably reduced.
The last epidemic of this description which was remarkable for
its extent and severity, prevailed in ISO& It was said to have
originated in China, to have travelled through Asia into Europe,
and then, crossing the Atlantic, to have proceeded to America
on the following year. It would be highly satisfactory to us—
and, we doubt not, very gratifying to the public at large—if
some of the medical "authorities" who have lately figured so
advantageously in the public prints, and who, from their ex-cathe-
dra manner of writing, we presume to be quite in the secret,
would inform us whether the present be also an Asiatic importa-
tion; and whether it is to stand us in the stead of cholera? If
so, we are sure their information will not be sneezed at even by
those who are suffering from the influenza, maugre the inter-
minable fits of sternutation which sometimes accompany it.
