FRENCH PAPERS.

(From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.)
The following is the programme of the festivities on the
celebration of the approaching anniversary of the revolu-
tion of July :--On Friday, at eleven o'clock, the 16
daughters of combatants, who are to receive the dowry of
3,000 francs each, granted by the city of Paris, will pro-
ceed with their intended husbands to the Hotel tie Ville,
where their marriage contracts will be signed and witnessed
by the Prefect of the Seine and the Mayors of the diffe-
rent arrondissements of Paris, and for the Banlieue by the
Prefect, the Sub-Prefects, and the Colonels of the Na-
tional Guards of the respective places. On Saturday, in
the morning, the civil ceremony of the marriages will be
performed at the respective mayories, from whence each
of the 12 Mayors, accompanied by their Deputies, wear-
ing their scarfs of office, will conduct the several couples
to the respective parish churches of the brides, where
the nuptial benediction will be pronounced from the high
altar, and the same ceremonies will be observed for the
Banlieue. At each of the theatres on Sunday, which will
be opet ed at three o'clock to the public, gratis, two boxes
will be reserved expressly for the new-married couples,
their families, and friends. On Monday the dowry will
be paid to the husbands at the Hotel de Ville. On
Friday there will be a distribution of provisions in each
arrondissement to indigent families. On Saturday all the
usual public amusements will take place in the ChaChampsElysees, consisting of two theatres, May-poles for climb-
ing, with the accustomed prizes for the successful adven-
turers, and orchestras fur dancing, which will be kept up
till ten o'clock at night. '1 here will also be similar enter-
tainments at the Barriere du Trone. At two o'clock in
the afternoon there will be various horse races in the
Champ de Mars, and between the heats a balloon will
ascend from the centre of the ground. There will also be
foot races by children, men, and soldiers. Between the
Pont de la Concorde and the Pont Royal there will be
jousts on the river for two prizes, one of 3001. and another
of 2001. In the evening, the whole of the Champs Ely sees,
the Gardens of the Tuilieries, and the great square of the
Barriere du Trone, will be illuminated. On Sunday, the
King will review the National Guards, and troops form-
ing the garrison of Paris, which, as last year, will form
one continued line from the Barriere du Trone to that of
the Etoile, at the top of the Champs Elytees. In the
evening, there will be grand displays of fire-works from
the Pont de la Concorde, and at the Barriere du Trone.
The dome of the Pantheon and all the public buildings
will be illuminated.

It is reported at Toulon, that the Marengo ship of the
line, now fitting out, is destined to convey Donna Maria
to Lisbon as soon as the arrival of Don Pedro in that ca-
pital is offici .11y announced.

The !tlemoriul Bardelnis states...." Letters from Ma-
drid it.form us that there exists a considerable dissidence
in opinion in the Spanish Ministry ; the Count de l'Alcu-
dia, President of the Council, wishes to return to the
ultratnontane system, in which scheme he is seconded by
the Ambassador of Russia. M. Ballasteros, on the con-
trary, is inclined to adopt the policy of the English Cabi-
net. One of them must necessarily withdraw, according
to the system that may be adopted. The Count de
l'Alcudia has presented to the Council different ridiculous
projects, which, according to him, must be adopted itn.
mediately, to secure the tranquillity and prosperity of the
country."
The Courrier de la Moselle states, that the Grand
Duke of Baden and the King of Bavaria are not likely to
ratify the adhesion of their Plenipotentiaries to the reso-
lutions of the Frankfort Diet.
The Newremburg Correspondent of the 10th inst. has
intelligence from Vienna, to July 14, stating that the
health of the Duke of Reichstadt continues to improve,
which is chiefly ascribed to the use of nurse's milk.
The same paper also contains the following
from Posen,
dated July 10:_" The Minister of the Interior at Ber-
lin has been invited by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh
to have all passports delivered to Prussian subjects, who
wished to go to Poland, signed by the Russian embassy

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1832.

The French Papers of Wednesday, with those
dated yesterday, have been received. They an-
nounce one fact which is highly important to the
commercial interests of this country,—the final
settlement of the long delayed plan for facilitating
a daily communication between both countries.
The wonder is, that an arrangement of such ob-
vious utility should have been so long put off.
At present the Estafette runs only four, days to
the manifest inconvenience of both countries. It
is not stated when the new arrangement comes
into operation, but we should fancy, from the
Duke of RICHMOND'S anxiety to benefit the
public, (and to his Grace they are mainly in-
debted for this improvement,) that the earliest
opportunity will be embraced. Nothing contri-
butes so much to the promotion of good feeling
between two rival countries, as the interchange
of mutual civility by daily communication. There
is but one thing, however, wanting to give this
measure full effect, and that is, the abolition or
at least modification of the present absurd post.
age on newspapers, which amounts almost to a
prohibition with the public generally. The free
diffusion of English newspapers in France, and
of French in England, would do more to correct
national prejudices than a thousand Acts of
Parliament and treaties of alliance and friendship.
The marriage of King LEOPOLD with the
Princess LOUISE is now fixed for the 9th of
August at Compeigne. It appears that several
of the prisoners concerned in the late conspiracy
have been found guilty, and condemned to various
gradations of punishment : 6 to transportation,
9 to 5 years' imprisonment, and 5 to 1 year's
imprisonment : 25 have been acquitted.
It appears, according to a telegraphic despatch
received at Paris, that Don PEDRO continued at
Oporto on the 15th, probably organizing the
Government, and arranging to give effect to the
enthusiasm said to have been manifested by the
people in the contiguous provinces.

The accounts from Madrid reach down to the

18th, at which time it was stated that a Russian
messenger !kid brought a declaration from the
Emperor NICHOLAS, strongly disapproving of
the interference of France and England in the
affairs of Portugal during the present contest.
This is in keeping with the EMPEROR'S gene-
ral conduct, but is too absurd to be treated
otherwise than with supreme contempt. Nl-
caoLAs may intrigue through the obstinacy and
hypocrisy of the King of HOLLAND, but surely
Portugal is too far to the west fin. his Imperial
impertinence.

Great activity prevails in the war department
at Paris to put the army on the war footing.
This precaution is taken in consequence of the
suspicious conduct of the Northern Powers, and

the famous Protocol of Frankfort, which is
looked on as a manifesto against the French
Revolution, the second anniversary of which
begins to-day.

The Irish Reform Bill is now safe ; it passed
through Committee last night in the Lords,
and thus one great step has been taken towards
securing the tranquillity of Ireland. But there
still remains the tithe - question, which must also
be put on an efficient footing—as it will be, no
doubt, in some shape or other, by a reformed
Parliament—before the sister country can be prb-
nounced to be in a sound and healthy state. As
for Mr. STANLEY'S project, it is a mere non-
entity. It has not one of the requisites which
such a measure, to become popular and do good,
should posseSs. It is mean and temporising in
some respects ; impracticable in others ; and
offends the Catholics, while it does not conciliate
the Protestants. It is, in fact, a scion of the
juste milieu system—a system most ingeniously
devised for the purpose of bringing all its advo-
cates into hot water. Ireland at present is a man
in the last stage of disease, and Mr. STANLEY'
his quack-doctor, or St. JOHN LONG, who
thinks that, by rubbing a hole in his back, of
the size of a parish poor-box, he shall be able
to let out the infectious matter, forgetting that by
so doing, he is superaddinga second disorder,which
will facilitate the progress of the first. Look at
the existing condition of Ireland. From Con-
nemara to the hill of Howth, from Cape Clear
to the Giant's Causeway, it is one vast volcano.
The course of justice is impeded ; for the
very law which denounces, seems to be
without the rower to punish crime. A
statesman, endowed with ordinary sagacity,
would have striven to provide a remedy efficient
enough to meet this state of things ; but Mr.
STANLEY has legislated for Ireland as if she
had no interest in the matter. lie has glanced
at the surface of the tithe question, but not cut
down to the substratum. This hasty, superficial
mode of regarding a question, of remedying a
grievance, will never answer with a country so
combustible as Ireland. Hers is no.common—
no every day grievance ; it is the growth of cen-
turies, and not to be abated without the exercise
of extraordinary diligence, promptitude, resolu-
tion, and, above all, impartiality. We recognize
none of these qualifications in Mr. STANLEY'S
tithe project, but we see the absolute necessity
for them, in the scorn with which his proffered
boon is received by all Ireland. The ',sputa
Professor's project for extracting sun-beams from
cucumbers, is not a whit more absurd than Mr.
STANLEY'S Tithe Bill. It is the very beau
ideal of the impracticable.

Colonel EVANS brought forward his motion
last night on the subject of military reductions,
in which he was ably seconded by Mr. Humq
Sir J. HOBHOUSE replied in that peculiarly
enigmatical manner which the Treasury Bench
has such facility in adopting whenever it wishes
to mystify a plain statement. We have no
great fault to find with the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman's observations, except that they were not
sufficiently explicit and encouraging on those
points to which the Gallant Colonel directed his
attention, and which most claimed a definite reply.

A private letter has been received in town this
morning from Bourdeaux, dated the 21st, by
Estafette, stating that news had been received in
that city that the advanced troops of Don
PEDRO had taken possession of Aviero on the
14th, and were on their march upon Coimbra,
where they were expected to be joined by a
number of volunteers, students of the Univer-
sity. A part of the squadron had sailed from
Oporto towards Mondego Bay, to effect a land-
ing upon that point.
A steam-vessel from the squadron was to have
arrived yesterday at Falmouth, to take in arms,
ammunition, and stores, sent from London, on
Wednesday, on board the Brockelbank, belong-
ing to the Steam Navigation Company ; which
vessel will return as soon as she has delivered
them, and not proceed to Oporto, as stated in
one of the Papers. Direct news from the ex-
pedition may, therefore, be expected in town
to-morrow.

Requisitions are preparing to Lords EB RING-
TON and JOHN RUSSELL, to stand candidates for the
South of Devon, which there is no doubt they will accept.
Mr. BULTEEL had prepared to enter the lists, expecting
that Lord EBRINGTON would stand for the North; but
finding the general wish to be that the two noble Reform-
ers should stand together, he does not mean :to come
forward.

JOHN EVELYN DENISON, Esq., offers his
services for the sourthern division of the county of Not-
tingham, in the next Parliament. It is understood that
the Hon. J. S. Lumbry intends offering himself to the
electors of the northern division.—Derby Reporter.
His Majesty's ship Vernon, and a large
steamer, the Dee, carrying guns, are hourly expected in
our harbour; and we understand that his Majesty's ship
Talavera, from the Baltic, and the Caledonia, Britan-
nia, and Prince Regent, will shortly arrive at Cove to
join the fleet of Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM. All this naval
preparation leads to the supposition that we shall shortly
have warm work in some quarter, and woe to the enemy
that comes within the range of such a fleet !—Cork Con-
stitution of Tuesday.
The state of Ireland is terrific ; the acquittal
of the men tried at Kilkenny is serious. It serves to le-
galize the use of violence, and gives impunity to murder, if
committed in resisting the collection of tithes. The
shallow Bill now going through Parliament will not cure
—it will incrotase this evil : there must be some great mea-
sure which will at once satisfy the real wants of the na-
tion—created no matter how, (for that is not now the
question)—and will then visit with unsparing severity every
person who ventures to move the people to violence. But
whilejustice is doled out by driblets, agitation will con-
tinue, and no force can effectually control it. Justi
the virtue which the time demands.— Times.
At the adjourned meeting of the Middlesex
County Magistrates, yesterday, it was announced by Colonel
CLirHEItoE that Sir PETER LAURIE had fallen a victim
to the cholera.

An unusual number of forgeries of drafts on
