FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the alioniteur of Aug. 27.)
PARIS, Auc. 26.—T0-day Monday, at eleven o'clock,
the King aveompan;ed by the Duke of Nemours, the
Minister of Marine, and several of his Aide-de-Camps set
out on a tour which bis Majesty intends to make in the
department of the Eure of Culvado, La Manche, and Lower
Seine.

The Cvnvention signed at London on the 14th of June
last, on the subject of the mails between France and Eng-
land, having been ratified by the King, as well as by his
Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, the ratifications have just been ex-
changed at London, between Prince Talleyrand and the
Duke of Richmond, Bt itish Postmaster-General.
The official part of the Moniteur contains a Royal
Ordinance, by which Admiral de Rigny will cease to act
as Minister of War ad interim on this day, Aug. 26, and
that the Duke of D dmatia President of the Council, will
resume the functions of his department.—From the Gazette
de France, Wednesday. Aug. 28.

THE EXTERNAL CRISIS.
The external crisis becomes more complex. If, as is
announced, the Helvetic Diet has suspended its sittings at
the moment when the affairs of the Confederation teemed
to be in a fair way of being settled, the country will be
a chaos of conflicting opinions, local interests, and foreign
influence, without a possibility of foreseeing whence order
and peace are to come. There would then be no remedy
except an intervention, as in Belgium ; but by whom,
and how it shall be made, at present, we can see only
complicated difficulties, and new embarrassments.
The Portuguese question, which is connected with the
interests of Spain, is also a source of serious uneasiness in
European policy. The articles of the Augsburg Gazette
which we published yesterday, ahem; of what importance
this question is considered in the North. One would
say that the destinies of the world were to be decided in
one of the smallest states of our continent. Two great
Monarchs have met, and while they are communicating
their alarms and their thoughts, the work of 1815 is
falling to pieces on every side. Switzerland is agitated
by three different systems ; civil and foreign war are
contending in Portugal to effect the triumph or the re-
j ctionof the charter.

English ideas agitate Germany, Italy, and Piedmont.
The only possible denouement of this complex state of
things is there, where the centre of all movements is to
be found. Let France be free by its national institutions
—let it cease to be in the power of factions, and tranquil-
lity 'will be restored to the world.
It must be confessed Kings and nations are now ex-
piating the errors of 1815. Europe desired to free nations
from the despotism of Napoleon, and it has placed them
under the despotism of granted charters (chartres oc-
troyees). Factions have seized on this weapon, and
turned it against the authorities. With the principle of
liberty and nationality there would have been no ground
ro fear convulsions, for two interests which are made to
be united would not have been separated. May the voice
of reason and truth penetrate into the councils of Kings
and people. Never will a brighter era have been opened
to the human mind !

The Memorial Bordelais says—" The accounts from
Madrid announce that the negociations for the acknow-
edgement of Donna Maria are proceeding with great
activity. The King is not dying as has been said. lie
is as well as he can he with his gouty habits. The proof
:I, that he has just been on a little sporting excursion at
at one of the Royal residences."
