FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Papers of Monday.)
The Eco del Coiner& of Madrid states that General
Harispe has informed Rodil of his readiness to enter Spain
at the first requisition ; that for this purpose he had marched
his troops to the extreme frontier, and had taken the most
efficacious measures to arrest Don Carlos, in case he should
seek an asylum on the French territory, in order that he
might be disposed of *according to the interests of Isabella
11. ; and, moreover, that he had given the necessary orders
for preventing the insurgents from receiving any succour
from Bayonne, whence they have long been in the habit of
receiving arms, clothes, and provisions. To this commu-
nication Rodil answered by the expression of his thanks,
accompanied by an opinion that foreign aid will not be re-
quired. Rodil expresses his unqualified approval of the
approach of the French troops to the frontier, and in fact
of all the other measures of General Harispe. The same
offer has been made to General Llauder by General Cas-
tellane, who commands the Eastern Pyrenees.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 14th contains the follow-
ing from Constahtinople of July 22 :—" The well-known
grievances of the Ambassador of Greece have been at
length, in some degree, remedied, and apologies have been
obtained for the acts of judicial violence which have been
committed upon the persons of the poor Greeks who are
subject to the Turkish Government. Zographos will
therefore remain, although without hope of a speedy ac-
knowledgment on the part of the Porte. It seems that
the preliminary partial reparation is owing to the meditation
of the Russian Ambassador, who, on the other hand, is
accused by the Greeks of not having made_sufficient efforts
to bring about a speedy arrangement between Zographos
and the Turkish authorities. The English fleet continues
to cruise between Samos and Tenedos. It is reported,
although it seems improbable, that the English Admiral
has applied to the Porte for permission to sail through the
Dardanelles into the Sea of Marmora, but has experienced
a refusal. The question respecting the sending of Turkish
commissioners to the Divan of the Hospodars is decided in
the negative, notwithstanding the__ contrary wishes of the
Porte. The Russian Ambassador has shown that such a
proceeding is in direct violation of the treaty between his
Government and that of the Turks." This journal has
also the following :—" Accounts from Vienna of the 9th
instant state that the Marquis Gagliati, the Sicilian Chargé
d'Affaires, had arrived to supersede Count de Caraffa, the
former Charge d'Affaires."
The Gazette quotes the Funds at Vienna on the 9th in-
stant—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 981 ; Four per Cent.
ditto, 881 • Bank Actions, 1,232.

Intelligence from. Naples, dated the 29th ult., states that
" the volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius, which had
continued uninterruptedly till the 24th, had not recurred,
and it was consequently presumed to be quite at an end.
In the morning of the 18th inst. two new and small craters,
which had formed on the sides of the larger ones, sent forth
volumes of ashes and stones. In the evening, after a tre-
mendous earthquake upon the mountains, four discharges
of lava took place from the old crater in front of Torre del
Greco. This was followed by immense columns of smoke
and fire from the larger orifice, which enveloped the whole
country in impenetrable darkness. In the afternoon of the
19th, three new streams broke out from the old crater,
while the former ones continued to pour forth their liquid
torrents for a mile in length. In the old crater two ca-
nals were formed, from which volcanic matter poured like
water. At seven in the evening the lava ceased to flow, but
immense discharges of ashes, fire, and stones continued.
On the 20th the columns of smoke darkened the air all
aroung ; towards midnight, after an interval of repose, the
lava against burst forth from no less than 14 different open-
ings. In the midst of terrific roars, immense masses of fire,
stones, and water were. ejected, and the bright full moon
became invisible. On the 21st, at two in the morning,
these phenomena had almost ceased, but at two in the after-
noon eight new discharges of lava broke out from every side.
In the evening of this day a part of the edge of the larger
crater fell in, by which the orifice became widened nearly
200 feet. On the 22d the lava ceased to flow, the other
phenomena began to decline, and on the following day the
agitated Vesuvius gave reason to anticipate the return of its
tranquillity, which it now once more enjoys."
In the sitting of the Swiss Federal Diet on the Bth inst.,
the deputy for the Grisons announced that the Court of
Austria had recently granted to that canton 2,104,694 f.,
as an indemnity for the confiscations of property situated in
the Valteline, at Bornico and at Cleves, by General Bona-
parte in 1797, which property afterwards was ceded to
Austria by the Treaty of Campo Formio.
The promised spectacle of the ascension of the aeronautic
vessel, announced for yesterday in the Champ de Mars,
terminated in a sad disappointment, by the explosion of the
balloon, which took place happily previous to the hour ap-
pointed for the elevation of the machine, so that we have
fortunately no accident to record more serious than its
destruction. Slight fissures had been observed in it the
preceding evening, but these were speedily repaired, and
at nine o'clock yesterday morning the immense apparatus
was removed from the spot where it has been exhibiting for
some time to the place appointed for the ascension, accom-
panied by thousands of curious spectators. From this time
the crowds in the Champ de Mars rapidly augmented, and
as noon approached the reserved seats began to fill by
their respective occupants, and before the hour appointed
for the experiment all the capital was in motion ; hun-
dreds of horsemen, private equipages, hackney coaches,
cabriolets, carts—in short, every possible description of
vehicle, flanked by countless thousands of pedestrians, were
seen converging from every quarter of the city towards
the point of attraction, amid clouds of dust, and under
a sun worthy the meridian of Madras. As the immense
masses of curious individuals, however approached the scene
of action, various indications that something had gone wrong
presented themselves in the shape of returning provision-
carts freighted with uneaten cargoes, itinerant, piemen with
long faces, and confused squadrons of apple-women and
marchands de coco in full retreat. It was speedily learned
about half-past 12, the balloon, by some accident, the parti-
culars of which have not yet transpired, escaped from the
machinery by which it was kept down, and ascended a short
distance, when it burst, and of course immediately fell. The
surrounding crowds, with a rapacity which generally dis-
tinguishes the multitude on such occasions, and which we
must, we suppose, attribute to their eager curiosity and in-
terest for science, instantly tore it into fragments, and car-
ried it off in portions, which were exhibiting in every part
of Paris all the afternoon. This wanton and stupid out-
rage must retard considerably the period at which the pro-
prietors can repair the effects of the unfortunate casualty,
by which the loss must be very considerable. They pro-
pose, however, to renew their attempt with the least prac-
ticable loss of time; and we learn that the aerial vessel it-
self luckily escaped the hands of the Goths who destroyed
the balloon, so that the present accident may probably not
occasion more than a few weeks' postponement of this in.
teresting experiment.
