TRENCH PAPERS OF WEDNESDAY.

The Indicatcur of Bordeaux of the sth inst. contains
the following :
" General Rodil was to have left the army on the 26th,
but in consequence of circumstances he still retains the
command. On the 30th he was at Zubiri, preparing to
return to Pampeluna. It is not Manso who was intended
to supply his place ad in!crim, but Lorenzo or Cordova."
Extract of a letter of the 2d from Bayonne—" Travellers
arrived here state that the garrison of Bermeo, which is
composed of 450 men, was surprised and attacked on the
22d nit. by 2,000 insurgents, under Zavala. One of the
gates was in the hands of the assailants, who after a slight
combat were driven back. At the same time when Gene-
ral Cordova sent arms into the fortified house of the Mise-
ricordia at Elisondo he also introduced many head of cattle
Segastibelza has proclaimed that every inhabitant detected
in supplying the Queen's soldiers with provisions shall be
shot. A volunteer of the sth Carlist battalion has come to
take refuge at Sarre. He asserts that desertions from the
insurgent army are continual."
A letter of the 3d inst. from Bayonne says :—" Colonel
%Vylde, of the English artillery, arrived here yesterday
afternoon, to take the place of Colonel Caradoc, who has
Teturned to London. General Mina is in full convales-
cence, and will probably be able to assume his post in
eight or ten days."
The Augsburg Gazette of the 4th instant contains the
following from Naples of the 20th ult.:—" Although cer-
tain French opposition journals, by their poisonous and
false accounts from Naples, had no real intention of causing
the King to repent of having formed the project to grant
the enjoyment of a moderate constitution to his people, yet
they have produced this result. The young Prince sees, at
length, that his reasonable endeavours to promote the pros-
perity of his people are tortured into crime, because he is
firm in the purpose of proceeding slowly and surely in the
road of improvement. The influence of the Cabinet of the
Tuileries at the Court of Naples is greatly diminished,
while the alliance between Austria and Naples is more
firmly cemented than ever. Strong measures are now being
taken against the revolutionary party. Ricciardi, a son of
Count Camaldoli, a gentleman high in popular estimation,
lids been arrested and imprisoned for having expressed
imprudent opinions. The censorship has forbidden the
performance of the operas William Tell, Parisina, Bea-
tri.r, Teuda, and Mary Stuart, in which are to be
found certain passages dangerous to the Church and
State. The importation of French books and journals
meets with renewed difficulty. People flatter them-
selves that this unsocial severity will shortly cease, and
that matters will resume their accustomed course ; but
one fact is incontestable—that the King a short time since,
at table, declared that he would never yield an inch of his
Royal prerogatives, and that, at the peril of his life, he
would preserve them as they had been handed down to him
by his predecessors." The same journal has the following.
from Constantinople of the 10th ult.:—" M. de Boutenieff,
the Russian Ambassador, has presented to the Sultan, on
the part of the Emperor, a magnificent sabre ornamented
with brilliants, and to the two Princes, sons of the Sultan,
handsome snuff-boxes, set in brilliants, with the portrait of
the Crown Prince. The night before last the inhabitants
of this capital were aroused by cries of fire, intermingled
with the discharge of guns from the ports in the channel.
It was soon ascertained that a fire had broken out in a vil-
lage called Rumili Kawak. As the wind blew strongly,
and as no fire-engines were to be had, there was no possi-
bility of checking the progress of the flames until several
houses, including the bazaar and the mosque of the place,
were reduced to ashes. Great uneasiness prevailed on ac-
count of a powder-magazine in the neighbourhood, which,
however, was preserved in consequence of the exertions of
the garrison. The sanatory state of the capital is not im-
proved." The Gazette quotes the funds at Vienna on the
29th ult., 5 per Cent. Metalliques, 991 ; 4 per Cent. ditto,
90 ; Bank Actions, 1,262.
Extract of a letter from Cairo, dated Sept. 1 :—" A
new journal has lately appeared here. It is published in
the Arabic, Turkish, and French languages, and will be
very valuable to commerce. Besides home and foreign
news, it contains the price-current of all the imports and
exports, as well as the dsserees and ordinances that relate
to the navigation of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea,
and the trade of Egypt, Arabia, and Syria. The French
journal, the Moniteur Egyptien, has ceased to appear.
The Pasha had ae closely circumscribed the subjects upon
-which it was allowed to treat, that it became reduced to
complete insignificance. It appears that a company has
been formed for establishing another journal at Alexan-
dria, and that Mehemet Ali has granted his licence ;
ut as this is only on condition that it should be equally
inoffensive as the late Moniteur, it is to be feared that it
will meet with no better success. The position of the Vice-
nay is too precarious, and he has too many reasons for con-
ciliating the Sultan, though he is secretly working to under-
Intim him, to allow any journal to assume a colour which
may be in the least degree offensive. It must not be con-
cealed that Egypt is, if not totally exhausted, very much
impoverished. Mehemet Ali, in order to carry into execu-
tion his projects of independence and civilization, and at
the same time resist the Porte with advantage, has been
forced to make use of all the resources the country afforded
him. In fact, since the commencement of the war between
Egypt and the Porte, the country has been in a continual
state of suffering, the natural result of its new situation.
The late open rebellion in Syria, and the threatened agita-
tion in Yemen, however, have evidently filled the Viceroy
with serious reflections. He begins to think it is time to
restore to the people that prosperity of which his gigantic
projects have deprived them. He contemplates granting
to his subjects protecting institutions, and reducing the taxes
to a more equitable scale, and to relieve the people from the
arbitrary rule of chiefs and functionaries of every species,
who live at their expense. It is asserted that he has named
a commission, of which two members are Frenchmen,
who have long been established in Egypt, to ascertain and
point out the most efficacious means of putting an end te,
these abuses, and for securing to the peasantry the peacssibl
enjoyment of the fruits of their honest labour. Egypt,
well cultivated and ably governed, is more than car.a.ole of
providing for all the expenses of the governosent, and.
Mehemet Ali may, without having recourse to any op-
pressive exactions, keep his army upon a resr,eetable foot-
ing, pay his tribute to his sovereign lord, prosvide for all the
expenses of his court, and also execute esstensive works for
the public benefit. The Pasha has a plan of forming a
grand scientific institution on the mviel of the German
universities. The principal Mosque at Cairo has already a
very good college, which is daily improving. There are
taught not only the Arabic, Turkish, French, and Italian
languages, but the mathematics, geography, history, and
drawing. A free school is established by the side of every
cistern in the town. At Ahou Zabel, three leagues from
Cairo, there is a medical school under the direction of the
Frenchman, Clot Bey, a distinguished physician, whose
exertions have been crowned with the most happy results."
Bointse, OCT. 8, 3 o'CLocx r.M.—Scarcely any busi-
nessia doing in the different securities. The 3 per Cents,
are at 78f. 15e. The Spanish Funds are worse, and will
probably decline still further, in consequence of the resolu-
tion taken by the Chambre Syndicale, that for every trans-
action which an agent do change is to undertake of 1,000
piastres renter, 15,000 francs be deposited by the buyer,
and 15,000 by the seller, in the Caisse Syndicale. This
sviil restrict the Spanish business to ready money dealings.
The Perpetuelles are 4.2:} ; Cortes, 421, sellers ; 3 per
Cents., ; Guebhard, 20, without any demand.
?To reports, but great anxiety is prevailing on 'Change
about the decline in the Cortes.
