FRENCH PAPERS.

(Front the Moniteur of IWonciay,Oet.lo.)
The Official Part contains a report to the
King, signed by Count de Chabrole, relative to
the composition of the Royal Navy, and the ne-
cessity of having recourse to another mode of
recruiting, in order to ensure the equipment of
his Majesty's ships.
" The insufficiency of the old mode, says the
report, was long felt, and the only means of turn-
ing the resources offered by the population of the
interior of the kingdom to the use of the naval
service, was to form permanent crews, consisting
of men engaged for a certain number of years,
and governed by a military organization. To try
the application of this system, the ordinance of
the 13th of November, 18'22, and the 11th of
August, 1824, presented the formation of four
crews of the line" (equipages de ligne.)
But as voluntary enrolment, by which it was
thought fit to begin the trial, did not produce re-
sults proportioned to the wants of the navy, it
was necessary to afford more abundant sources
for recruiting the navy, by makin,, it partake in
calls made every year for the land service : this
measure was consecrated by the law of the 9th of
June, 1824.
As the execution of the law was to give a
greater extent to the system of crews of the line,
the Minister examined the 'composition of four
crews already formed, and the mode in which
they are governed, to see whether they were
perceptible of any improvement. He has been
led, in consequence, to draw up a plan for the
organization of marine, which he submits to his
Majesty in the form of a Royal Ordinance. This
ordinance, annexed to the report, is in 14 heads,
containing 121 articles, and fills a whole sheet
of the Moniteur.

An order, signed by the Dauphin, as Admiral
of France, enjoining all whom it concerns to see
to the execution of the ordinance, is annexed, as
well as a table of the rates of pay.

Pkllls, OCT. 10.—We are assured at this mo-
ment that the conferences between Baron Masliau
and the Envoy from Hayti, give reason to hope
the most favourable results for the commerce of
both countries.

Jerusalem and Bethlehem have revolted, in
consequence of the extortions which the Pacha of
Damascus after his departure has continued to
have exercised towards all the inhabitants of the
several convents, by means of the Governor of
Jerusalem. The Bethlemites had agreed with
-the Government for a sum of 30 purses, and had
delivered to him three hostages as security for
4.he payment. But having been informed that
they ran the risk of being exposed to further
extortions, and that the garrison of Jerusalem
was against them, they laid an ambush which
succeeded. As soon as the troops were out of
the city, they entered it, and closed the gates,
and iii concert with the inhabitants dictated laws
to the Government, leaving him, however, the
.choice either to continue his functions with the
people he had remaining, or to go and join his
Pasha. At the same time other persons of Beth-
lebem, reinforced by Arabs and peasants, fell
upon the troops, which not being able to enter
Jerusalem, were completely dispersed. Thus
the holy land is exposed to new sacrifices.
The Ilospodar of Moldavia has just visited
some districts. Ile was twelve days absent from
Jassy. The object of his journey was to found
a church of which he had laid the first stone, ac-
cording to custom.
The peasants of several districts represented
to the Prince that they had nothing at all, and
that it is impossible for them to pay the taxes by
which they are oppressed. Incredible cruelties
are exercised towards them. Several of these
unhappy people complained that they had been
fettered, and shut up ii► their sebterraneous huts
by officers of the Treasury.

MADRID, SEPT. 29.—The Consultive Junta of the Go-
vernment, which was installed on the 21th, began its operations
yesterday, in a representation addressed to the King, in which
his Majesty is told that the ignorance of some and the inexpe-
rience of the greater number of crown officers, whom circum-
stances have placed in the different branches of the public ad-
ministration, are particularly hurtful to public business, both
from the bad principles upon which it is conducted, and the de-
lays occasioned by it. The Junta concludes by proposing dif-
ferent changes in all the offices of Government.—The following
are the questions which the Ministers have laid for examination
before the Junta :

Ist. Is it advisable to publish an amnesty, and how far ought
it to extend in order to obtain the double object of calming the
public mind without compromising the rights of the throne ?

2d. What would be the means of pacifying our colonies, and
bringing them under the Government of the Mother Country ?
3d. Who are the persons who might facilitate the negocia-
tion of a loan, and render the conditions less burdensome ?
4th. Is it advisable totally to suppress the system of purifi-
eition, or would it be better merely to modify it ? and in that
cue what would be the modifications advisable to be made ?

Such, you may rely upon it, is the sense of the problems our
Ministers have proposed for solution to the Consultive Junta.
It will be seen by the second of these questions, that we may
expect to see the negociations entered into by some Cabinets,
and actively pressed by their representatives at our Court, to
lead our Government to consent to some plan for the emancipa-
tion of our old American possessions, and more particularly of
th'►se composing the Governments of Colombia and Mexico,
fall to the ground.

Strong detachments of troops of the line, drawn from the
garrisons of Burgos, Valladolid, and Segovia, have been sent
in pursuit of Ortiguela's band, which freely traverses the moun-
tains of Burgos, and every where proclaim Charles V. The
forces of which this band is composed must be very consider-
able if we may judge from the number of troops sent in its
pursuit.

In order to reward the zeal of M. Melgar, Bishop of Ceuta,
who, in his extraordinary mission for the re-organization of our
Universities has so well managed, that 01l the Professors' chairs
are either filled with Jesuits or their creatures, the Bishopric
of Tuy, in Galicia, has been bestowed upon him ; it is the
richest of the four Bishoptics in that province.

The UniversitieS do not, however, satisfy the Jesuits ; they
wish to have all the establishments for education in their own
hands, and towards it they have obtained exclusively that of
the Nobility, known by the name of-the " Noblemen's Semi:

nary," and as the old building of that seat of instructions is in
a very bad state, because since it has either served as a
barrack or a prison, funds have been placed at the disposal of
the Reverend Fathers in order to repair it. It is to be ready
by the beginning of next year.

The Royalist Volunteers of this town, both cavalry and in-
fantry, who are to be on duty near his Majesty on the Ist Oc-
tober, the anniversary of his Majesty's liberation from Cadiz,
set out yesterday for the'Eacurial, whence they are to return
on the 3d.

Our to-day's Gazette has the following article :
" Sire—Your Consultive Junta of the Government, in the
first moments of its installation, hesitates in its words, and
still more so in its actions; and its members, grateful for
the honour and confidence placed in them by your Majesty,
are alternately agitated by gratitude and the fear inspired by
their incapacity.
" Sire—Your Majesty points us out the way to obtain that
happiness your Majesty desires for your people. We are like-
wise charged to propose the means to attain it, and also to serve
as an auxiliary to your Majesty's Council of Ministers.
" Sire—You, your Government, and Spain, want other
i guides than us; but we dare assure your Majesty, more loyal
or faithful hearts could not have been chosen.

" Sire, we will be indefatigable in our work ; we will seek
for assistance wherever it may be found ; and, faithful ob-
servers of your Majesty's commands, we will hide or dissimu-
late nothing ; our sincerity and our frankness will never be
stopped by private considerations or interests, nor by par-
tiality or party spirit; the fear of the enmity or persecution
which truth often draws will never shake our integrity, for we
will brave them with constancy and courage. Your Majesty's
glory, the splendour and perpetuity of your dynasty, the in-
tegrity of your hereditary dominions, the decorum of the Royal
Family, the indissoluble union of the empire and the church,
the replacing of the Spanish nation in its ancient rank
among nations, the protection of private property, and its con-
nection with that of the State and the Government, the repara-
tion of the losses and damages we have sustained, the due dis-
tribution of taxes and contributable means, the consolidation of
public credit, the means of making good the deficit, the extinc-
tion of all but indispensable expences, the accumulation of sa-
laries and pensions, economy without poverty, and lastly, the
reforms and modifications necessary to raise the nation without
oppressing the subject; such will be, Sire, the constant ob-
jects of the Consultive Junta, and its rule for their attainment
your Majesty's will and the advice of your Counsel of Minis-
ters. Sooner than depart from these objects the members of
the Junta will perish a thousand times.
" We humbly pray your Majesty ‘o deign graciously to ac-
cept the first homage of our gratitude, our obedience, and our
loyalty.
" Madrid, Sept. 26, 1825."
