RENCH PAPERS.

FARIGI, SATURDAY, 4 O'CLOCK. Y. M.
A variety of accounts of the battle of Koniah have been
received here within the last two days, but they are not
of a later date than the one which was transmitted from
Constantinople on the Ist ult. They all agree, however,
as to the fact of the Grand Vizier having been taken pri-
soner, but in none is it stated that any negotiations fia-
pe ice had been commenced. On the contrary, they
affirm that Ibrahim would continue his march towards the
capital, after having repaired the damage occasioned by the
battle, and been joined by the reinforcements sent him
from Egypt. These accounts add, that the dispersion ri‘
the defeated Turkish army was so complete, that it would
he quite impossible for their commanders again to form
out of it a body which could oppose the least obstacle to
Ibrahim's further progress. The Sultan's hope of salt/a.
tion seems now to rest entirely in the interference of Russia,
to which Power an application has at length been made for
the assistance recently offered of men and ships of war. A
corps of 12,000 men was to be sent from Sevastopol to
Constantinople, but there is a great possibility of its arriving
too late to be of any use. It is, besides, questionable whether
that amount of force would suffice to prevent the Egyi)-
tians from coming as far as the gates of the capital. The
active interference of Russia will, no doubt, weigh ma-
terially with Ibrahim, and at all events induce him to set
aside the idea of dethroning the Sultan, if ever he has en
tertained it. But if, as there is now reason to believe,
his object is solely to compel the Sultan to acknowledge
_ _

his father as the Sovereign of Egypt and Syria, it is not
likely he will be prevented from using every means in his
power for that purpose by a force so inadequate as that
which was to he transported from the shores of the Crimea
to those of the Bosphorus.
The critical position of the Sultan's affairs has, as

might have been expected, almost entirely engrossed the
attention of the principal Powers of Europe. Russia and
Austria, it is quite evident, have not been taken by sur-
prise. They had, many months aeo, considered the pos-
sibility of what is taking place, and it seems that they bad
both agreed as to the necessity of the course which Russia
is now pursuing. The object of M. Peru, di Borgo's
journey to England was to make known to the British Go-
vernment the views and resolutions of the Courts of St. Pe-
tersbu rah and Vienna respecting the differences of the Sultan
and Mehemet Ali. That diplomatist was also, it is said,
instructed by his Sovereign to explain and insist on his
master's claim to the possession of Wallachia and Moldavia,
which have been forfeited by the Sultan's want of punc-
tuality in completing the payment of the instalments sti-
pulated for in the treaty of Adrianople. The communi-
cations on these different nhjects have, it is understood,
hp en addressed by M. Pozzo di Borgo to Lnrd Palmerston
and Prince Talleyrand at the same time. The answer to
them has been a joint one, implying, from that mere cir-
cumstance a perfect union of purpose with regard to the
affairs of Turkey between the British and French Go-
vernments. The resolution of the Russian Emperor to
assist the Sultan through the means of a Russian auxiliary
corps has not, it seems, quite met the approbation of th.
Governments of England and France ; nor has the pro-
position of incorporating Moldavia and Wallachia with
Russia been listened to more favourably in that quarter. To
the last-mentioned proposi'ion it would appear that Austria
is no party. It has been urged by M. Pizzo di Borgo, in the
name of his own*Government alone, and there is every rea-
son to believe that there exists at least as great an aversion
for it on the side of Austria as on that of England
and France. It is perfectly natural that Austria should
have no wish to permit the Cossacks to form a permanent
station round her eastern frontiers. To the title put forth
by Russia respecting the two principalities, it has been
answered that if the Sultan has delayed the payment of
the last instalment due by him, it has been in conse-
quence of the indulgence exhibited to him by the Russian
Government; and that the neglect of the latter, in claim-
ing the execution of the treaty in due time, is equivalent
to the renunciation of its right of indemnity founded on
the treaty. If Austria is really unwilling to suffer Wal-
lachia and Moldavia to pass into the hands of the Russians,
that Power will, of course, detach itself from the species
of verbal alliance formed with Russia, in consequence of
the dangers with which the Sultan was threatened by the
successes of the Egyptians in Asia Minor. A closer un-
derstanding with the British and French Governments
will he in that case cultivated by Austria. The Russian
diplomatic agents have begun to suspect that this is
already taking place, and they are giving themselves a
vast deal of trouble to learn all the movements of Messrs.
de Broglie and d'Appony, and to ascertain the frequency
and length of interviews between those two statesmen.
There seems to be an impression in the best-informed
quarters here, that the Emperor Nicholas is bent on pur-
suing the course which to himself appears most advisable,
with regard to Turkey, and that no objection made by
England and France to any particular measure decided on
by him will stop its execution. The object oc M. Pozzo
di Borgo's mission, therefore, would be to explain, advo-
cate, and insist on the propriety of Russian interference,
in the way that his Sovereign understands it best, and it
is even said that he is instructed to meet the objections
against which no plausible arguments can be used, by the
declaration that the affairs of Turkey are as immediatrly
interesting to Russia as those of Belgium are to England
and France; and that the Russian Government will use
respecting them that freedom and discretion which were
displayed by those of England and France for the final
settlement of the Belgic queston.
Whatever may hereafter be the course of your Govern.
ment in regard to this new and complicated European
question, that of France s, ems to have been determined
upon long ago, and is on the point of becoming evident
to the world. You are aware that the newly.appointed
French ambassador to Constantinople is a naval officer,
Admiral Roussin ; and that to his diplomatic character
in the Levant was added the authority of Commander-in-
Chief of all the French naval forces in the Levant seas.
The admiral sailed some weeks ago for his destination,
and a naval reinforcement of eight ships of the line anti
fi igates is in active preparation at Toulon, to join imme-
diately the French squadron stationed in the Archipelago.
The affairs of Belgium are almost forgotte❑ here, since
the fall of Antwerp, and the defeat of the Grand Vizier.
They threaten, however, further delay, unless the impa-
tience of his Dutch Majesty's subjects has begun to make
him feel that it is high time to bring them to a close. The
Prussian Government does not seem to be so much pleased
with the direct turn that the negotiations have taken be-
tween the Dutch Government and Lord Palmerston and
Prince Talleyrand. It has made sotne attempts to re-
establish the Conference in London, but they are not likely
to be succesaful. Russia has now other matters to attend
to, and in some degree an interest in leaving unrecallid the
plea of her separation from the Conference. Austria has
become indifferent to the cause of the King of Holland,
and England and France would much rather be left to set-
tle all differences with the latter by themselves. It re-
mains, however, to he seen whether the still much-sought-
for interference of the Germanic Confederation with re-
gard to the partition or integrity of the Duchy of Lux-
emburg is to be as easily kept off as the endeavours of
Prussia to induce the Conference to resume its sittings.

- .
Our last accounts from Blaye state that the Duchess of
Berry, who had been for same time seriously indisposed,
was dangerously ill. Her illness is attributed by every
body here to a cause which shall be nameless, and her dan •
ger to the unskilfulness of a surgeon who has attended her.
Two experienced medical men, Messrs. Orfila and Auvity
have been despatched by the Government to Blaye. Those
two gentlemen are more particularly known in France as
professing what is called here legal medicine—that is,
offering evidence in criminal Courts in cases of death from
a violent or appiren.ly unaccountable cause.
You will find it stated in the Temps of this morning,
that the Emperor of Russia has refused to receive Mar-
shal Maison and Sir Stratford Canning, as Ambassadors
from France and England to his Court. In regard to
the Marshal, the statement may be considered true. The
Autocrat, it seems, was displeased with the Marshal's zeal in
escorting Charles X. and his family to Cberburg, and avails
himself of this opportunity to show what his sentitnenis
we!e on that occurrence. But as to Sir Stratford Can-
ning, I should think the statement is incorrect. There
cannot be any reasonable objection made to his presence
in St. Petersburgh, unless his Russian Majesty has taken
it into his head that none but a well-ti led and a well-
known Tory is fit to represent Great Brit at his Court.
Sir Stratford Canning rendered some very important ser-
vices to the Russian Government in 1812 ; for it was en-
tirely through his active exertions that the Porte was in-
duced to sign & treaty of peace, which Russia was ex-
tremely anxious for at that period, on account of the
war with France, which had become inevitable.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Smnic or JAN. 26.
M. Berenger took the chair at a quirter past one.
After the proces-verbal had been read and adopted,
M. 31artin (du Nord) brought up a report recommending
the adoption, with some modifications, of the bill !or regu-
lating the Mode of expropriation of property required for
purposes of public utility. This report, which was read
in the presence of about 20 Deputies, was ordered to be
taken into consideration on Thursday next.
M. Colomez and M. Roger brought up two reports,
recommending the adoption of several bills of private and
local interest. Ordered to be token into consideration on
Monday.
M. Taillandier brought up the report of the committee,

charged with the examination of the ptopoaitiou of M.
Ifstle,fils, for the istahlishinent of a (jove•nment office
for the deposit of the Rums intended to he invested in the
purchase of funds, so as to abolish the system of fictitious
time barg sins and afford a security against the possibility
of pecul ition in the stock-brokers, in whose hands the
money is deposited according to the existing system. The
reporter stated that the majority of the committee were of
opinion that the inconvenience of such an office tinder the
responsibility of the Minister of Finance would be greater
than any advantage to be derived from it, snore particu-
larly as it would be impossible to put a stop to the system
of Stock-Exchange gambling, which if prohibited openly
would be carried on even to a more ruinous extent, and
more surreptitiously. The committee, therefore, recom-
mended the rejection of the proposition. The report was
ordered to he printed, and taken into consideration on
Monday. . _ _

The- Chamber then proceeded to hear a variety of re-
ports on petitions, none of which, up to the hour of our
reporter leaving, had presented any feature of general
interest.

The President read a lett,c from M. Duchatel (the
o!dest Member of the Chatnl!er), announcing that having
been called to the Chamber of Peers, he woe compelled to
resign hie seat in the Chamber of Deputies.

PARIS, JAN. 25.—We have said that the head-quarters
of the Army of the North had been transferred to Com-
piegne, but in reality there is no longer any Army of the
North ; some of the regiments come to P tris, others go to
Havre, Ver.lun, &c. It is a complete breaking up.
The Belatan army has also made a retrograde movement,
and the Dutch dismiss a fourth part of their forces on fur-
lough.
The last accounts from Constantinople will not allow us
to doubt thdt orders have been sent to Sebastopol
for the Russian fleet of 30 or 36 men of war, large and
small, stationed in that part to put to see. It
will therefore excite no surprise, that a French
division has been ordered to sail from Toulon for
the Levant, for the purpose of observing the motions of
the Russians. Admiral Roussin, who was on board the
Galathee on the 20th, waited only for a fair wind to pro-
ceed to the Levant. It is confirmed that he will have
und.•r him all our naval force in those seas, and it is even
slid t hat to enable him to devote his whole attention to it,
General Guilleminot is vim: to be sent on an extraordi-
nary mission to Constantinople, it being understood that
he is to give up the embassy to Vice-Admiral Roussin,
when the presence of the latter with the fleet shall be no
longer necessary.

(From the Quotidienne.)

PARIS, JAN. 25.—The reports of a change in the Mi-
nistry gain ground daily. It is in vain attempted to deny
the kind of enrn,ty which exists between Prince Talley-
rand and the Duke de Broglie. All the information we
receive tends to confirm this fact. It even seems that
Prince Talleyrand urges Louis Philip to change his Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs. It is he who bas proposed to
appoint Marshal
is probab'e that Louis Philip will yield to the influence
of the Ambassador at London.

M. Decazes, it seems, is likewise endeavouring to get
into the Ministry. His friends circulate a report that he
will he President of the Council without having a porte-
feuille. Louis Philip is far from being a partisan of M.
D-razes; this, it is said, should be a reason for excluding
him; but we have seen that he had much dislike for the
Doctrinnaires, yet at last they triumphed, in the month of
November last.

It is rather remarkable, says a journal, that at the very
moment that the Ministry pretends to be the most certain
of general peace, the fortifications of the capital and of
the principal cities of the kingdom are prosecuted with
the greatest activity. This reflection would suffice to ex-
cite the fear that these fortifications may be rather directed
against the cities which they are to protect, than against
an invading enemy.
(From the Gazette de France.)

We announced that a great number of persons, having
expressed a desire to congratulate M. Hennepin on his
courageous letter, were to meet on Sunday before the
Institute.

M. Hennequin has addressed a letter to our editor, in
which he says—" The sentiment which dictated the pro-
test that you have published must find an echo in many
hearts. I comprehend, therefore, the project which you
announce, but it is precisely because the assemblage would
be too numerous that it must not take place. I beg all
those who are affected by a great misfortune so nobly
borne to refrain from such a manifestation of their senti-
ments. In holding this language I make a painful sacrifice,
but a sacred interest commands it as a duty.

" Accept, &c.
" P iris, Jan. 25. " LIENNEQUIN."
(From Galigntzni's Messenger of Saturday.)

The Augsburg Gazette of the 2d inst. has the follow-
ing, of the 13th, from Ancona :—" The French trans-
ports destined to proceed to Navarino, to bring back the
French troops, will sail hence to-morrow. According to
accounts from Rome, the Pope has protested against the
appointment of the Marquis de Is Tour Maubourg as
French Ambassador. It is added that General S,bastiani
is much engaged in diplomatic business with the English
Envoy, Mr.Sevmour. From an official statement of the
population of Rome, just publi•hed, it appears that it
amounted last year to 148,459 souls, and that it had di-
minished by 2,000 individuals since the preceding year.
Among this number are 36 Bishops, 1,419 priests, 2,038
monks, 1,384 nuns, and 611 seminarists. The number
of marriages in 1832 was 1,165, of births 5,045, of deaths
4,649."

By accounts from Toulon, we learn that, on the 20tb
inst., Vice-Admiral Ronssin was on board flie Galathee.
Waiting only for a favourable wind to sail for the Levant.

Et is asserted that he will have under his command all the
French naval forces in that quarter. It is even stated,
that, in order that he may devote all his attention to this
duty, General Guilleminot will be charged with an extra-
ordinary mission to Constantinople, and act as Ambassa-
dor, until the presence of Vice• Admiral Roussin with the
fleet can be dispensed with.
By Royal ordinances Count Duchatel, formerly Di•
recror•General of the Domains, Counsellor of State, and
Member of the Chamber of Deputies, and Lieutenant-
General Baron St. Cyr. Nugues, have been created Peers
of France.

(From the Temps of Saturday.)

The Government has been informed that the Emperor
of Russia refused to receive Marshal Maison as the Am-
bassador of France to his Court. Well informed persons
assert that this refusal is founded on the conduct of the
Marshal towards Charles X., on his mission to Cherburg,
which the Imperial Court stigmatizes with duplicity.
T h ose, however, who seek for causes of a more serious
nature, conceive that the perseverance with which the
Marshal during his residence at Vienna, denounced the
ambitious projects of Russia, has rendered him particu-
larly obnoxious to the Emperor and the Muscovite nobility.
(From the National of Saturday.)

For some time past the Courts of St. Petersburgh and
Vienna have closely watched the affairs of the east so as to
hot prepared for every event. The French and English
Governments, almost entirely engaged by internal strug-
gles and the Belgian question, appear less attentive to

the issue of the conflict between the Sultan and the Pacha
of Egypt, as they considered the danger remote and their
inter eats not directly compromised. The Court of S!.
Petersburg', has at length taken the lead. One of its first
steps was to come to an understanding with the Court of
Vienna, and the principal object of the mission of Count
Pozzo di Borgo to that Court was to concert a declaration
to be made jointly, with regard to the measures to be
adopted by the Powers in the present critical situation of
Turkey. Such a declaration was agreed upon, and, after
the necessary ratifications, sent by M. de Tatischeff, Rus-
sian Ambassador at Vienna, to M. Pozzo di Borgo, who, at
the same time, received orders to proceed to London, to
communicate this document to the British Cabinet.
In the meanwhile, the measure which the two Powers
were going to adopt had transpired. Prince Talley-
rand and Lord Palmerston then determined to pre-
vent it, by drawing up, in the name of
France and England, a declaration according to the
view which their respective Governments took of the
Turkish question. This declaration, dated Dec. 14, was
immediately forwarded to Baron de Wessenburg, the
Austrian Minister, in order to induce his Court to accede
to it. That Minister immediately declared Waite had
no instructions on the subject. It was in the midst of
these communications that Count Pozzo di Borgo arrived
at London with the declaration of the two Imperial
Courts, which he then delivered to the English Ministry.
The principle of the statu quo, and the preservation of
the Turkish empire, appears hitherto to have been gene-
rally admitted by the great Powers as being essential to
European policy : with this exception, however, that
Russia claims of the Porte, as an indemnity for the pre-
tensions relinquished since the treaty of Adrianople, the
full and entire possession of Wollachia and Moldavia,
over.which she has hitherto exercised only a sort of
suurainete. It appears certain that, up to tie present
moment, the English Cabinet has not decided upon any
definitive measure with respect to the affairs of the east,
but that 'twill wait the result of events. Our Ministry, in
the meanwhile, has sent orders to Toulon, to tit ont
ships of the line ; but Russia, more anxious to set, and

heedless of the resolutions of France and Englaud, ha;
already sent off a fleet from Sebastopol to the Dardanelles.
