FRENCH PAPERS.

[From the Ltosle, dated IPednesday.l
PARIS, JAN. 18.

It is affirmed that the Duke of Northumber-
land will he the Ambassador Extraordinary of
his Britannic Majesty at the Kiug's Coronation,
and that he will display very great maguificence.

VIENNA, JAN. 9.

.The article whicl► apimared yesterday in' the
Austrian Observer contains nothing but what was
known some days ago from mercantile letters ;
but, at least considering the official character of

that paper, we have the confirmation of the com-
bat of the ;Isle of Candia, and the flight of the
Egyptians to the coast of Asia.

It is impossible to help laughing when we see
the .4ustrian Observer make an Egyptian frigate

es:ape which had some of its satls burnt, and was
pursued by four Greek vessels. The fact is,
that this frigate of 45 guns, which seems to he
Swedish built, was taken by the victors, as the
bulletin of the Greek Admiral has already
stated.
The order given by the Sultan to the fugitive
ibrahini, to leave the Bay of Macri and attempt

a landing in the Nlorea, likewise makes the render
pile. l tlis very Posy for the Sultan to com-
mand the conquest of Greece; for these four year,

and wore he has dour nothin4 elße, but the exe-
c-Ink!' is not so ra-y, and the rhodomontades of
them, Mossohnans, who are always beaten, do
not flighten omen, n omen, and children.

Tassin, a French hanker, spews to enjoy

tim:oe with him n hen he 11.114 at Vullencay. Be-

sides considerable contracts for the epuipments Of
our troops, he may place himself at the head of a
loa,u, and enter into a competition with the Eng-

sews to our Government., with securities.

( From the Journal des Mbuts.)

Put JAN. 18 —Our cunjrrlurt•s as to the

cAose of the activity of the telegraphs betwe9eo
rrance and `pain are verified. Spain seems to

reepive conimultications front the FrPilch llinistry,

and very extraordinary things are now.passing or
preparing at Lisbon, capable of rousing the
apathy and carelesnness of the French Ministry
The weak state of health of the King of Portugal
has excited the hopes of the different parties, and
they are moasuring their strength. They are
trumerons, without mentioning those who en-
tertain extravagant notions, equally contrary
to the wishes and interests of Europe; or
those who contemplate projects in opposition to
the national opinion, such as the party of the
Queen and Don Mi,nel, and that of Don Pedro,
the Sovereign of the Brazils. The Frtnch Mi-
niatryt who ought to exercise in such critical eir-
, iimstances a Jalu,a y influence, appears not in
a tit state to give onr Ambassador tho smalle,t
instructions. II y de de New vine had obtain-
ed leave of absence, and without being warned,
Cie), art as if they wished him not to be able to
lake advantage of this leave.
The foilo%%ing is the sub'tance of a letter front
Li.bott, dated the 'bland 3d instant :

" The frigate Circe has passed off LisLon, at male n stay
there. A second frigate, the Armide, entered the Tagus th.,
::St of December, but the Captain, instead of asking orders of
the Ambassador respecting his departure, after receiving private
'instructions, declared he was going to sail for the purpose of
taking in at Corunna convoy of discharged soldiers.
" We can easily imagine that the inertness of the French:,
miaistry encourages and increases the boldness of the
British Ambassador. We know for a fact, that in the latter
days of Dec=tier, the English Ambassador, Sir William
signitied to the King, what is impossible to call
any thing else but a connuatul, that he should dismis.
within three days, the Count de tiabserra, Minister of Wa:,

- the onlv Portuguese Minister who was attached to the-inte-
rest of France. It lutist be said, to the honour of the King,
_that he resisted this audacious attempt; but who can answer
fur firmness of resolution in an afflicted Prince, whose family
is divided, and whose throne, .lu:li:rated from every protecting
institution, is thus ahandoned defenceless to the attacks of fac-
tion and the audacity of foreign influence. Will Brazil end by
joining with the mother csaintry ? .The• men who affirm this:

be united to Brazil.; this is the opinion or :the Hairs and

what gives it weight is, that it is also the opinion of a great por-
tion of the wealthy me►chant+ of klurope. IVhen Brazil opens'
a loan the prineipAl subscribers are to be found at Lisbon. It
is tha gold of Portugal that nourishes and increases • the hide—

pendence of Brazil.

Ambassador to the late. King. lie comes, it is said, for the
purpose of declaring that Englund has recognized the Inde-
pendence of Brazil, and of inviting Portugal to do the same.

. It is added, that after obtaining from Portugal the recognition,
conmianded by his Government, he %Hi repair to Brazil as.
