FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JUNE 2.—We are still without any news from
Turkey, of a later date than the Sth ultimo, when, ac-
cording to the Augsburg Gazette's correspondence, Ad-
rniral Roussin was recovering his influence, and that of
Russia was declining ; but a telegraphic despatch from
Toulon, published by Government, states that on the 9th
ult. the Pacha of Egypt issued orders to his son Ibrahim
to repass the Taurus with all his forces. If we believe a
letter from Bucharest in the Neckar Gazette, on the 4th
the three Russian divisions that had already crossed the
Pruth were ordered to cross the Danube ; but to form a
correct opinion of the state of Eastern affairs we must
wait till we know what decision the Court of St. Peters-
burgh has come to on hearing of the treaty subscribed by
the Sultan.
The grand liberal fete at Hambach, on the 27th ult.,
passed off quietly. Though some thousands of Revolu-
tionists assembled, their patriotic hymns were interrupted
by the approach of light cavalry from Spire and Landau,
and some battalions from Neustadt. In the evening some
of those enthusiasts returned, and a large number gathered
at Schwitzengen, but no disturbance occurred.
Advices from Chambery of the 28th ult. state that ar-
rests of persons implicated in the late conspiracy were
continuing.
The Piedmont Gazette publishes a Royal decree for
levying the sth and 6th contingent, in consequence of the
armed state of the European Powers, and of the ferment
prevailing in the Sardinian dominions.
Our Madrid advises of the 23d are filled with the par-

ticulars of the preparations making to celebrate the solemn
oath of allegiance to Ferdinand's daughter. The four
Maestranz ,s (Corporations of the Nobility) are already on
their way to the capital, round which a formidable cordon
of regiments is also being stationed to prevent disturbances.
It was rumoured that Don Carlos had embarked at Lisboa
for Italy.

GERMAN PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 13.—The Anti-Russian party
h‘s for the present got the upper hand in the Divan; the
Sultan is now wholly under its influence.
Count Orloff is likely to meet with many difficulties,
and to be impeded in his movements, since Admiral
Roussin has succeeded in neutralizing ,Russian in-
fluence. Whatever pains the Porte takes to assume an
appe&ance of independence, it is notorious that for some
time tit has had no will of its own, hut is guided,
according to circumstances, by foreign influence. At
present Admiral Roussin leads the Divan ; how long this
will continue it may be difficult to foretell, but one day's
pi eponderence is important, if turned to good account.
The jealousy between the diplomatic agents here increases
in proportion as the Porte grows weaker ; it is as happens
with all rich inheritances; the most trifling circumstance is
laid hold of to make an affair of state of it. The subjoined
memorandum shows what a general irritation exists, and

how anxiously the Porte endeavours to do away with
whatever is susceptible of a false interpretation, since it
endeavours to refute a report that has been spread here
respecting the withdrawing of the Russian auxiliary
troops. Count Orloff has had several conferences with
the Reis Effendi. To-morrow he will visit the camp at
Scutari. This camp is daily supplied with ail descriptions
of ammunition, and is arranged as if it were to be of long
continuance. This, however, does not quite harmonize
with the reports of peace circul 'tett here, which are so
far well founded that the Sultan has consented to the
most painful concessions.

MEMORANDUM OF THE OTTOMAN PORTE.

It is notorious that the Sublime Porte never allowed
itself to interfere in the affairs of ethers, and it is therefore
reasonable to observe towards it the same reserve, and not
to expose it to explanations which would be the more
painful to it, as its future situation might be affected by
them, if, under present circumstances, a misunderstanding
should be caused by vague and unfounded reports, which
were manifestly circulated only to embarrass it. We here
allude to the act lately concluded with the Ambassador of
France with respect to Egypt, in which it was stipulated
that the aid of Russia should be dispensed with. This
act, which attracted universal attention, wax variously in-
terpreted, yet without being accurately known. The
Porte hastens, with its usual frankness, to give the neces-
sary explanation on the subject. There was in that act
a little paragraph, in which the French Government
caused it to be said that if Mehemet Ali Pacha should be
contented with the great concessions conveyed to him by
Halil Pacha, the Sublime Porte would in this case re-
nounce foreign assistance ; but there is no clause whatever
in it, as some would have it believed, that directly stipulates
a renunciation of the aid of Russia, or the return home of
the Russian ships. Penetrated with feelings of gratitude to
that power, the Sublime Porte would never have entered
into such particularities, and the proof that it never enter-
tained any such thought is, that a wish had been previ
ously expressed that the Russian men of war might go to
Sizeboli, a harbour of the Turkish empire near Constanti-
nople, where it would have been easy to recall their ships,
if it had been necessary, and the Sultan had wished it.
If the Sublime Porte consented to admit into the said act
the words, " Absolutely to remove foreign aid," this was
only because it wished to maintain the good understand-
ing that prevails between the Powers, from which it had re-
ceived so many marks of friendship; as, besides, the Russian
Court would be thereby relieved from the embarrassment
which it must experience from lending its friendly aid,
and as also it then appeared that that affair might be con-
sidered as settled the moment that Metemerl Ali should
accept the great concessions made by the Sultan, it was
thought that in this case foreign aid ought to he renounced.
No other motive can be admitted to explain the conduct
of the Sublime Porte on this occasion, without too nearly
affezting its honour, and lowering it so much as to believe
that it acts only according to foreign influence. Far from
this, the Porte thinks, on the contrary, that it is entirely
freed from it, and this feeling induces it to dispel reports

which, under other circumstances, would not have been
ju,lged worthy of the least attention.—Allgemeine Zeitung,
May 29.
',RoryEns OF POLAND, MAY 18.—Though, at the
same time, with the foolish interference at Frankfort-on-
the-Maine, attempts to excite insurrection were made in
several provinces of Poland, the Russian Government
seems to be conscious of its perfect security, as a large
number of troops leaves Poland. Thus we hear that
two Russian regiments, which were cantoned in Kalisch
and the vicinity, have, on the receipt of the unexpected
orders, commenced their march to the Black Sea by way
of Rawa Radom, Lublin, Wladimir, &c. Private letters
say it is the opinioa of the Russian officers that these and
other regiments, which will soon follow them, are to
form part of the army of observation, which is assembling
on the Danube.

Orders have been given to many other bodies of troops
in the kingdom to hold themselves in readiness to march
at the earliest notice. Recruiting is now carried on to a
great extent in Poland, to reinforce the Russian corps in
the interior of the empire.—Frankfort Papers, May 29.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 4.

THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF LEICESTER V.

BURGESS.

The question in this case arose out of the con-
struction put on the Beer Act.
By an old existing custom and right no per-
sons are entitled to sell beer, ale, &c., by retail in
Leicester, but such as are freemen. The question
raised was, whether the Beer Act did or did not
preserve to the corporation and freemen that cus-
tom which they had possessed for so great a length
of time, or, in other words, whether by the Beer
Act all rights of exclusiveness of license, exercised
by various corporate bodies throughout England,
were swept away.
The COURT were of opinion that the Act did not
interfere with such rights as were of a local charac-
ter, although it was doubtless enacted with the view
of facilitating the granting of licenses to sell beer.
