FRENCH PAPERS.
',17 (From the Moniteur of Friday, Aug. 19.)
/

The official part contains a report to the King by the
Minister of Commerce, Count d'Argout, relative to the
cholera morbus, which proposes some farther measures of
precaution, in consequence of the continual advance of the
&order towards the west.
To the report is added a Royal Ordinance, as proposed
by the Minister, in which,
" Considering that sanatory measures have been taken
on the whole extent of the coasts of the kingdom, accord.
ing to the Ordinance of the 7th of August, 1822, to pre-
vent the introduction of the cholera morbus by means of
maritime communications, but that it is equally necessary
to provide against the case, in which this scourge, passing
the barriers which still separate it front the French ten i-
tory, should reach to the frontiers of the kingdom, his
114jesty had ordered that Boards of Health shall be esta-
blished in the chief towns of 20 departments, from that of
the Pas de Calais to that of the Var."
The non-official part of the Moniteur publishes the
regulations that have been adopted in the German States
and in England to avert this disease.

PARIS, Arc. 18.—The Emperor Don Pedro, the Em-
press, and Queen Donna Maria, are expected at Calais on
the '2oth. Their Majesties will come and inhabit the
Palace of Minden. It is said they will pass several
months at that fine residence.
A letter from Valenciennes, of the 17th of August,
says, " The harvest, which is nearly finished in all the
parts of the kingdom, has been the finest, both for the
quality and quantity of the grain, within the memory of
the oldest farmers."

(From the Gazette de France, dated Saturday.)

PARIS, Auc. 18.—The Archduchess Maria Louisa
has imitated the example of the Pepe is mitigating the
severity of the first decree against the insurgents. She
has ordered the suspension of the proceedings against all
these who accepted offices under the revolutionary govern-
ment, provided they were not the authors or principal
agents of the revolt.
The Countess of St. Leu, whose arrival at Calais we
have announced, is going to Switzerland, with a passport
from the French Ambassador, at London.

(Front the Journal du Commerce of Friday.)
PARIS, Aust. 18.—The Viscount de Chateaubriand is
expected at Calais to-morrow.
The answer of the King to the address of the Cham-
ber of Deputies was only published in the :Pion/tette this
morning. It was, however, generally known on Change,
and attention was excited by the absolute silence respect-
ing Poland, which is a subject so highly interesting. Some
persons consider this silence as a proof that the Govern-
ment had received bad news ; others affirmed that M. Sebas-
tiani had just sent every pressing note in favour of the Polish
neutrality ; but even if the fact were true, what can be
hoped from a diplomatic note, when it has been declared
beforehand that a refusal will lead to no result ? How.
ever, the funds have fallen a franc. We do not think it
is the fear of a rupture with England on account of the
occupation of Belgium. The speech from the throne in-
dicates a determination not to prolong the occupation be-
yond measure, and the Moniteur even announces the
speedy return of part of our array. Perhaps, therefore,
this declitte is only a temporary suspension, to realize the
advantage gained, and prepare for new operations.
The Massager des Chambres, replying to the obser-
vations of the opposition journals relative to the conduct
of the French Government with respect to the occupation
of Belgium, says—" As we must admit what is, that is to
say, the whole series of the negociations that have been
carried on fur more than six months past by France and
England with the other three Powers, in favour of Bel-
gium, and as our army has interfered only according to
the interests which it had caused to be acknowledged by
the conference, it is quite natural that the duration of its
stay in Belgium should become the object of a common
discussion ; for having hitherto treated in concert with the
other States respecting every thing that concerns Belgium,
there would be had faith, and even absurdity, in ceasing to
act in concert with them, at the moment when the Belgian
question is on the eve of its final solution. It is enough that
we did not wait for the sometimes slow deliberations of the
conferences to hasten to the aid of the Belgians, but passed
the frontier without giving time for chicanery respecting
the meaning of the article of the protocols which places
indefinite suspension of arms under the guarantee of the
Five Powers. When the article was drawn up it seemed
against the Belgians, who were preparing to besiege
Maestricht. France consented for the sake of Antwerp.
Now the same artillery turns against the Dutch. France
bag taken the opportunity of the flagrant violation of it to
consolidate the Belgic revolution,—to cause the recognized
neutrality of Belgium to Le respected,—and to prove that
she will never suffer an enemy in that country. The
French Cabinet has therefore acted with vigour and deed-
rion,—with justice and w;adonn."
(From the Journal du Commerce of Friday.)
The King's reply to the Address was only published
yesterday morning in the Moniteur ; yet it was generally
knowu at the Bourse, where his Majesty's silence on the
affairs of Poland excited a lively interest.
Sotne persons saw in that silence a certainty that the
Government was in possession of some unfavourable news
from that country. Others, on the contrary, alleged that
M. Sebastiani had just despatched a very pressing note to
St. Petetsburgh in favour of the Polish neutrality. Were
this even true, what are we to expect from a diplomatical
note, when the Ministry has declared beforehand that a re-
fusal on the part of Russia would not be attended with
any consequence ?
Be this as it may, the Funds fell one per cent. We do
not suppose that this depression was occasioned by the fear
of a rupture with England on account of the occupation
of Belgium. On that head the Speech from the Throne
shows a marked propensity not to prolong that occupation
beyond measure; and the Monileur even announces the
speedy return of a part of the French army.
(From the Cuurrier Francais of Saturday.)
BERLIN, Aun. 7.—We have received intelligence which
has filled us all with joy. The Polish war is on the eve
Of being settled. In consequence of the intervention of
three great Powers, Poland will be recognised as a free
and independent State ; her inhabitants will thus assume
a rank among the nations of Europe. This salutary in-
tervention, which does honour to humanity, was in reality
the only means of putting au end to that fatal struggle.
We are assured that the Poles have already received, with
the most lively gratitude, the promise of the great Powers;
nevertheless they are determined not to suffer themselves to
be lulled aslecp. In Warsaw the people's ardour is daily
increasing ; yoeng and old, rich and poor, are continually
working at the fortifications, determined as they are to
conquer or die in the conflict.—Frankfort Paper.
(Frain the Journal des Debuts of Saturday.)
The report of the existence of the cholera in Italy, which
has spread terror in Lyons, is said to be owing to the esta-
blishment of a sanitary cordon on the frontiers of Savoy.
We can positively affirm that there is no contagion in Italy,
nor has the French Government formed any cordon on the
frontiers.—Precurseur de Lyons.
" It was stated," says the Globe, " ia tire Council on
Wednesday, in consequence of the difficulties that might
arise between the English end French Cabinets with regard
to the evacuation of Belgium by the French troops, that
M. Catitnir Petite was on the point of setting out for Lon-
don ; but the King did not approve of this step, fearing
that it might produce an ill effect."
The Courrier Francais contaias the following :--s• The
question upon the Peerage made some progress yesterday.
A meeting was held at the house of the Freeident of the
Council, at which several Peers attended. The project of
the Government was taken into consideration. If the iv..
ports on the subject are to be credited, tine hereditary right
to sit in the Chamber of Peers is given up ; but the Go-
vernment persists in requiring for the Crown the preroga-
tive of direct election, and unlimited angtnentation of the
number of Peers. Such are the bases upon which it is
proposed to re-constitute the Chamber of Peers. The
only matter of difficulty is how to obtain a majority in
the Chamber of Deputies, so many of the members
having bound themselves by solemn and dieCesset pledges
upon the subject."
The Nuremberg Correspondent has the followings of
the 9th instant, from Vienna t—" Upon the news which
reached us to-day, of 50,000 French troops having en-
tered Belgium, our Bank Shares fell front 978 to 951.
It is asserted that the warlike preparations whieh had been
suspended in the Austrian States ate to be resumed, end
that the new levies will be enforced with great activity.-
The Carlsruhe Journal contains the followi,
adated
Konigsberg, August 5 :—" All the population of this
Lorna are in a state of insurrection. The Government-
house bas been destroyed, and the arwourere shops sacked.
Every body is flying to arias."
The Swiss are said to have 100,000 men ready to de-
fend their country, and cause their neutrality to be re-
spected in case of need.
La France Nouvelle repeats that tine most perfect good
understanding exists between France and all the otter
great Powers respecting the " provieional andm n
moetary
oceupa tot t. t" of Belgium by the former, which will cease
en the definitive evaettatioo of the territory by the Ptitell

troops, and the solution of some questions, in the speedy
decision of which Europe is no less interested than France.
(From the National of Friday.)
BOLOGNA, Auc. 6.—We are on the eve of a civil war.
The Pope is endeavouring to arm all the troops he can.
Rimini has become a sort of strong place ; for it is gar-
risoned by 1,500 men, with four pieces of artillery, under
the command of Bentivoglio. The Court of Rome seems
to be determined on resorting to force. Romagna and
Bologna are arming. The latter has formed four regiments
of National Guards, 16,000 strong, and almost all pro-
vided with muskets.

(From the Constitutionnel of Friday.)
We are informed that the news of the interference of
France in the affairs of Belgium has produced an extraor-
dinary fermentation in Spain. The Absolutists are furious
at it.
