FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Papers of Wednesday.)

The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of Bayonne of the 2d inst.
gives the following from the official bulletin of Biscay :
" The governor of this town has received from Don Bernar-
dino gelid:Luce, commander of the dhasseurs of Isabella 11. a
report, dated Egbar, July 27, which says,—' Yesterday, at
11 o'clock, this town was attacked by the whole body of the
insurgents, under Zavala. From the convent of Isazi they
sent two columns, one to the right and the other to the left,
and in half an hour the firing became general. Favoured by
the unevenness of the ground, they reached within pistol-shot
of the inwenaments, and kept up an ineffectual fire for four
hours. They then retired before two detachments, which left
the town and pursued them to the very borders of Biscay.
The townsmen conducted themselves with great bravery : old
men 70 years of age, and boys not more than 14, took up
arms and occupied posts. Twelve bodies of rebels, who had
been killed, were found in the environs, and it is known that
about 50 of them were carried off wounded; among them
is an officer. The garrison had only two killed and two
wounded.' The Sentinelle has also the following :—" Colonel
Quintana was in the evening of the 28th with his column at
Gordujuela and Sodupe. Simon Torre, with his four aides-
de-camp, was in the morning of the same day at Villaro, with
Luqui and his band. The following are the names of the
French ships which are to cruise in concert with the English
squadron already arrived in these roads :—The sloop 'Sappho,
at the Passage ; the brig Le Lutin, at St. Sebastian ; the
schooner l'Hirondelle, at Bilboa ; the brig Orestes, at San-
tander : and the brig Hussard, at Corunna."
We have received the following letter from Madrid, dated
July 28, from which it appears that the entrance of Don Car-
los into Navarre was indisputably admitted in that capital, but
the event had not produced any powerful sensation :—" The
arrival of Don Carlos in Navarre, which had been long consi-
dered doubtful, is now ascertained to be a positive fact. He
has been seen at Salvatierra, a few leagues from Vittoria.
Although it is known that many inhabitants of the Basque
provinces and Navarre have joined his standard, it is not per-
ceived that the Carlists in the other provinces are preparing to
make any movement in his favour. It will not be till after the
Pretender has gained some signal success that any alarming
manifestations in any of the provinces are to be expected. The
prosecutions against the authors of the massacre of July 17,
are going on with activity, as well as those against the con-
spirators of July 24. Amongst the latter, Alexander O'Don-
nell, the brother of the Count d'Abisbal, is said to be in-
volved. It is also said that several personages of distinction
who have constantly made their Court to the Queen's- sister,
have been arrested. But these rumours are the inventions of
malice, and without any foundation. The Chambers are pur-
suing their regular course. The debates will commence this
day. The first subject will be the address. The cholera di-
minishes visibly. A great many of those already attacked are
dying, but there are very few new cases. The Ministers are
occupied in preparing reports of their several departments,
which, according to the terms of the royal statute, they are
bound to present to the Chambers at the beginning of every
session. The most perfect union continues to prevail between
Messrs. Amarillas, Toreno, and Martinez de la Rosa."

Extract of anoter letter of the 28th ult. from Madrid:—
" The attention of the public has been awakened by the con-
firmation of the arrival of Don Carlos in Navarre, and by the
news of another occurrence, which is no less extraordinary,
though still more doubtful—the landing of Don Miguel in
Catalonia. It is evident that Don Carlos has been instigated
to this, and is probably supported by the funds of the English
Tories, in a resolution of which alone he was incapable ; and
he may also rely upon the aid of the French Legitimatists,
who, however, will have great difficulty in converting him into
a hero, and have not calculated upon the embarrassments they
are bringing upon their party in Navarre, by charging them
with a timorous Prince and a suite of courtiers and council-
lors who have already wearied the juntas and the insurgent
generals with their pretensions. At this crisis of complicated
circumstances, rendered still more involved by the present si-
tuation of Europe, the Spanish Government is not, as may be
imagined, in any degree shaken. Innumerable trifling obsta-
cles have disappeared. The two Chambers of the Cortes
already afford it a powerful support, its financial credit remains
firm, and supplies are tendered to it. The annulling of the
treaty with M. Rothschild, which, both at Paris and London,
has been considered as fatal to its credit, has virtually pro-
duced a contrary effect. The banker who is substituted for
him has already furnished the Spanish Government with as
large a sum as M. Rothschild had agreed to supply it with,
besides reimbursing the burthensome advances which
M. Rothschild had begun to make. The question of
the finances, which is the most important of all, will
be one of the first. entered upon by the Cortes. The
recomposition of the English Ministry, whose dissolution
had greatly alarmed the new order of things in
Spain, has completely restored confidence. There is now no
doubt that the stipulations of the treaty of th'e quadruple alli-
ance will be carried into execution if the casus fcederis arises.
The fruitless attempt made by about 20 refugees, returned
to their country, and discontented at finding themselves neg-
lected, proves how little influence this party has. The ap-
pointments made by the two Chambers of members for the
different committees show the effectual support the Mi-
nistry will receive from them ; but it is not to be doubted that
the admission of the Count de Toren° into the Council has
produced this happy effect, instead of the violent opposition
which would have existed had he been kept aloof from the di-
rection of affairs."

The Courrier Beige of the 4th inst. announces that King
Leopold and the Queen were to set out that day for Flanders.
Their intention was to reach Ghent the same evening, and
to remain there till the morning of the 6th. It also gives the
following of the 31st ult. from the Hague :—" The Count de
Reede has returned here from Biberich, bringing with him
the treaty concluded between the Dutch Plenipotentiary and
the Representative of the Duke of Nassau, through the media-
tion of Austria and Prussia, concerning the Luxemburg
question."

The Augsburg Gazette of the 2d inst. gives the following
letter from Trieste, dated July 26 :—" Our intelligence from
Alexandria to the 14th inst. is far from being of a cheering
nature. The critical situation of Ibrahim Pacha in Syria is
confirmed. His authority is spurned on all sides ;in fact, all
Syria is in a state of insurrection. Not far from Damascus
several divisions of regular militia went over-to the side of the
natives, and Ibrahim was obliged to have recourse to his artil-
lery for the purpose of bringing the mutineers to reason. In
this he would doubtless have succeeded had he been able to
place entire confidence in his Arabian troops, but their
d-
is-
position (with the exception of the cavalry and artillery) was
liable to great suspicion. Under these circumstances, Ibrahim
did not consider himself of sufficient force to proceed to great
lengths without a reinforcement of Egyptian troops, who are
not only accustomed to the strictest discipline, but would be
less exposed to seduction. He has therefore sent pressing
applications to his father for succour. Immediate attention
has been pain to this demand. Two regiments of infantry
are ordered for Syria, and three others will follow without
delay. The Viceroy is greatly disconcerted by this affair.
He is fully aware of all the consequences which this first in-
surrection of the conquered province may bring in its train,
and will certainly make any sacrifice to prevent collision, or
to prevent its recurrence. His victory cannot be doubtful so
long as the Porte remains tranquil ; but should the latter
be disposed to turn the occurrence to account, and it is
not impossible that, in order to repair its recent losses,
it has sought, or perhaps indirectly created, this oppor-
tunity of being called to the assistance of the insurgents,
—should this be the case, immense exertion will be required
on the part of Mehemet to defend his newly-acquired country,
which is unaccustomed to his yoke and to the exactions of his
fiscal system. After the accounts we receive of the conduct
of Ibrahim in Syria, we cease to be amazed at revolt among
the people. We are at a loss to see upon what principles the
French and English can behold with placid eye the presence
of the Arabians in these countries. Certainly the present
events deserve the utmost consideration of the European Go-
vernments. Should a rupture take place between the Porte
and Mehemet Ali, matters may become so complicated for the
maritime Powers as not to be easily unrivalled by diplomatic
measures." The Gazette quotes the funds at Vienna on the
28th ult., 5 per Cent. Metalliques, 97i; 4 per Cent. ditto,
881, ; Bank Actions, 1,235.
The First Chamber of the States of Hanover adopted, in
a recent sitting, a law on duels. The penalty of death is pro-
nounced against the person who in a mortal combat shall have
killed his adversary, which penalty, under extenuating circum-
stances, may be commuted to 20 years' transportation. In the
case of a duel not before fixed to be mortal, he who shall have
killed his adversary is punishable by six years' imprisonment in
a house of correction, which period may be diminished by ex-
tenuating circumstances. Serious wounds from the same cause
are punished by ordinary imprisonment. The seconds, who
might have used proper exertions to prevent the duel, are exo-
nerated from punishment. Medical practitioners, whose aid
may have been required, are not liable, neither are they ob-
liged to give information on the subject.
Letters from Moldavia and Wallachia speak of great distress
prevailing in those countries from the failure of the harvest.
The Diario di Roma announces the death of Cardinal
Pollotta. His Eminence was born at Ferrara on the 23d of
February, 1770, and was invested with the purple in the Con-
sistory, by Pius VII., on the 10th of March, 1823.
