FRENCH PAPERS.

(From Le Temps of Aeril 6.)
The position of Russia is not at. embarrassing
one; she follows the line of policy traced out for
her by Peter the Great. After having fought 60
years on the Pruth—then on the Danube, and at
the foot of the Balkan, she has transferred the
field of battle to the hanks of the Bosphorus.
Constantinople is the prize of the combat. The
position of Austria is likewise free from embar-
rassment ; for, in case of the division of Turkey,
Albania and Servia will fall to her share. Thus
she will extend her possessions along the sea-coast,
after having long been confined to an inland state.
But the position of England, and especially of
France, is replete with difficulties; for these
Powers wish to retain the remnant of the Otto-
man empire, and have interests in common
with Egypt. The faults which have been com-
mitted may still be remedied. An English fleet is
sailing for the Dardanelles, and it is said that Ad-
miral de Villeneuve, whose presence at the mouth
of the Scheldt is useless, will proceed to the same
quarter with the vessels which can be spared'from
Cherbourg, Brest, and Toulon. The combined
squadron being thus masters of the Mediterranean,
peace may be declared to the belligerent parties on
equitable conditions, guaranteed this time by the
must efficacious signature, namely, twenty ships
of the line. We believe that the Russian fleet
would then no longer wait for u favourable wind to
quit the Bosphorus, or give us an opportunity of dis-
playing, at the expense of Russia, the superiority of
our navy.

PARIS, APRIL s.—Yesterday evening, at nine
o'clock, there was a council of Ministers at the
Hotel of the PreSident; intelligence received from
Bordeaux was the occasion of the meeting of the
Council. An estafette was despatched to Blaye this
morning. While orders were sent from the Tuileries,
says a journal, re-calling Admiral Roussin, a despatch
was received from that Ambassador from Constan-
tinople, soliciting his return to France. M. Sebas-
tiani, who needs a change of air, desired to be
sent to Constantinople, in the room of Admiral
Roussin, who, we are assured, is re-called, The
Ordinance solicite/ by the Minister, in partibus,
was on the point of being countersigned, but
it seems that the nomination had been de-
ferred, M. Sebastiani having, on a late visit to
King Louis Philip, and afterwards in a sitting of
the Council, given proofs that he is from time to
time subject to absence of mind. _ It is the same
reason that caused his marriage to be broken off
just as it was about to take place. A report has
been in circulation to-day in the galleries of the
Chamber of Deputies, that Admiral Roussin had
arrived at Toulon on board a light vessel. We re-
peat this news without warranting its authenticity,
but it is by no means impossible.
Yesterday evening in the corps de garde, the
presence of Joseph Bonaparte at Paris was again
spoken of. It was even affirmed that this very night
was the time appointed for him to put,himself at
the head of the Republicans and make the grand at-
tempt in the Tuileries, which has been expected for
several days. To say the truth, this alarming news
did not at all alar al the peaceable National Guards,
who begin to be tired of these daily mystifications.

(From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.).

PARIS, APRIL 5.-The treaty for the establish-
ment of a daily estafette between Paris and London,
which was to commence on the lit of April, is in-
definitely postponed.
M. Dupin, sen., who is appointed Commissioner
by the Second Bureau (for the law on the fortifica-
tions of Pars) has declared with great energy
against the scheme of erecting detached forts. M.
Dupin has declared that he cannot admit the possi-
bility of fortifying a city containing 800,000 inha,
bitants, against the will of the population, on a
system contrary to its wishes, and which may
threaten the public liberty.
We hope that M. Dupin will assert this opinion
in the Chamber with all the preponderance of his
talent.

(From the Journal des Debats of Saturday.)

PARIS, APRIL 5.—A letter from Satins says
that there has been some agitation among the refugee
Polish soldiers, that complaints have been made on
the subject, and that the Major-General command-
ing in the department has ordered the committee,
which they had formed, to be immediately dissolved,
and prohibited any kind of deliberative meeting
contrary to the military regulations, on pain of
having the most obstinate arrested, and to imprison
them till further orders in Fort St. Andre.
