FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Morning Herald.)

We have received the whole of the French papers
of Sunday, and the Gazette de France and Message'.
des Chambres dated yesterday.
These papers contain the laconic announcement
of an assault having been made on the sth instant
by the Miguelite army, in which it was repulsed,
and that, after remaining inactive during the Gth
and 7th, Marshal Bourmont was preparing to renew
the attack.

The Journal de Frankfort, of the 10th instant,
contains an article relative to the coercive measures
threatened by the Swiss Confederation in respect
of Neufchatel, which appears to have produced
consideration sensation in Paris. Being supposed
under the influence of the Prussian Government,
the Frankfort journal, in questioning, as it does,
the right of the Diet to control the Prussian Princi-
pality of Neufchatel, has drawn from the Journal
des Debate, the demi-official organ of the French
Ministry, a declaration, that in its proposed line of
conduct towards the discontented Canton of Neuf-
chatel, the General Diet is fully warranted by the
solemn treaty or part of 1815, and expresses its
conviction that the Court of Berlin itself will concur
in that view of the subject.
The National of Sunday contains a letter from
Madrid, dated the 4th instant, which asserts, in con-
tradiction to the other reports published, that the
King's health continued to be most precarious.
There is no domestic news to be found in these
Papers. M. Livingston, the Envoy of the United
States at the Court of France, had arrived in
Cherbourg.

TOULON, Sers. 9 —The Emulation corvette arrived
yesterday in the road of Toulon, corning from Tenedos,
and last from Navarin, whence it sailed on the II th of
August.
At the departure of the Emulation, our squadron, con-
sisting of the Ville de Marseille, Superbe, and Duquesne
of the line, the Iphigenia frigate, the Lamproie and As•
trot' be corvettes, the Acteon, Palimere, and Dufetit
Thouars brigs, were going to leave Tenedos and go to
Smyrna. Rear-Admiral Hugon was to embark in the
Palimere, to sail with all haste to Constantinople, having
been sent for by Admiral Rouissin, our Ambassador.
BERLIN, SErr. 7.—We find the fallowing article in a
Berlin paper called the Woehenblatt :
" The tactics of the faction consist in confining the
Government to the ground of constitutional legality, con-
tinually to narrow its limits by the interpretation of written
laws and constitutions, and thus to render its existence impos-
sible. In Germany the revolution seeks to destroy monarchy
by following legal and constitutional forms. This is evident.
" We do not mean to advocate the doctrine of coups d'etat,
on the contrary, we think that it is a great misfortune for
a country, when the panic oversteps the legal limits, to
mike his own good pleasure triumph ; but how shall
constitutional legality maintain itself if one of the powers
of the State, the judicial authority, sanctions treasons by
its decisions, and abandons the cause of law and morality ?"
In this struggle of faction with law is not the prince
authorised to have recourse to those energetic measures
which God has put in his hands ?
" Sooner or later the discussion concerning the du-
ration of monarchy in Germany will tura on this
question."

- PARIS, SETT. IC-The Courrier Francais makes
the following observations on the struggle in Portugal :
" 'We see by the position of Don Pedro at Lisbon, and
the defensive measures which he is obliged to take, that
his calve is far from having made any progress for this
month past, This opinion is confirmed by the develope-
ments given by the English Journals of the 1 1 tb, to
the news received the day before. The forces which Don
Pedro has been able to assemble to defend Lisbon against an
army superior in number, are neither considerable nor of
much intrinsic value; the battalions of the National
Guards and workmen formed in haste, badly equipped,
and perhaps badly armed, would scarcely make any ener-
getic resistance to an attack directed with vigour and per-
severance. The corps of 6,000 men, which Saldanha
commanded in the rear of the enemy, might, if ably con-
ducted, have greatly impeded his operations against
Lisbon. But the arrival of Saldanha in th- capital, and
the numerous reinforcements drawn from Oporto announce
that this decision has been renounced in order the better
to secure the defence of Lisbon.

Supposing that Bourmont should not succeed in
his attack on Lisbon, or even that he should
not attempt, what can hinder him from wintering
in the province of Alemtejo, and resuming his operations
in the spring ? Don Pedro reduced in Lisbon to a melon.
cho'y defensive, has evidently not moveable troops enough
to hinder him, or to harass him, if he should think tit to
retire. The Miguelite Guerillas are organising, and will
multiply in proportion as the weakness of the Queen's
party shall appear : corps of this description which offer
so many temptations to the habits of brigandage, will
never want elements in the Peninsula. Thus the war
will be more difficult to be ended even by its prolongation.
" The English Journals announce indeed a kind
of breaking up of the Ministry of Don Miguel,
resignations which do not indicate that the party
is in harmony with itself, or that it has much
confidence in the future; they say, too, that
the Miguelite soldiers are worn out, ragged, and discou-
raged ; but how, then, does it happen that these soldiers
remain united under the command of their officers, and
continue the war without hopes of success ? It will be a
matter of astonishment that the taking of Lisbon has pro-
duced so little effect. Was it not one of those decisive
blows which discourage resistance, which seem to fix
fortune, and which, by their moral influence, complete what
arms have begun ? Who would not have believed that the
Miguelite army, at the news of this catastrophe, was going
to disperse or to submit. Yet it has remained indifferent
to this check ; it has continued the war as before without
more or less zeal, and as if the cause that it defends was
neither more nor less in danger than before the occupation
of the capital. When it has stood such a trial, we may
be allowed to believe that it will remain under arms so
long as its commanders have money to pay it, and there
are good reasons why money will ❑ot be wanting.—Paris
