FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Moniteur of Sunday.)
The Duchess of Berry was arrested at Nantes on the
7th inst., at 10 o'clock in the morning. She had crossed
whole of the south, and, by her presence, kept the
western departments of France in a disturbed state. It
would appear that she was not yet disposed to quit the
country, and that she intended to repair to other provinces
there to execute projects certainly chimerical, hut the sole
attempt of which would have been a misfortune. It im-
periously behoved the Government to put an end to such
a state of things. It has done so, with the consciousness
of having rendered a service to the throne and country.
The Government is obliged to contradict reports circu-
' lated by evil disposed persons. It is quite false, then,
that it knew for any length of time the retreat of the
Duchess of Berry, otherwise she would have been arrested
sooner. The preceding Ministry bad scrupulously dis-
charged its duty in that respect. The present Cabinet
ordered her arrest as noon as the information obtained ena-
bled the authorities to proceed with security. Not an
instant was suffered to intervene between the moment
positive intelligence was acquired and her apprehension in
Nantes.

Strict orders had been given to take the Duchess of
Berry, and treat her with the respect due to her sex, mis-
fortunes, and the rank she lately held in our country.
The honour of France required it, as also the honour of
the august family which reigns over us; for the honour of
that family is also one of the interests of the country. The
orders of Government were faithfully executed. Lieut.-
General Count d'Erlon, the Prefect of Loire Inferieure,
M. Maurice Duval, General Dermoncourt, the Mayor of
Nantes, M. Ferdinand Favre, the Commander of the Na-
tional Guard, M. Robineau, the National Guard, and the
troops of the line, fulfilled their duty in a praiseworthy
manner.

The Duchess of Berry once arrested, it was necessary
to decide what authority she should be banded over to.
The question was serious and deserved the utmost at—
tention. The Government thought proper to refer its
decision to the Chambers ; its motives are easily accounted
for.

The Duchess of Berry ought not to be made the object
of legal prosecution, but of a political measure. Every.
body, indeed, conceives that the trial of such a prisoner
by an ordinary tribunal would be the occasion of deplco-
rable scenes. After the scandal of the debates would
come the result of the prosecution itself. Let us reflect
upon the consequences of a condemnation, or those of art
acquittal. If the Duchess of Berry were convicted, the
Royal authority would be made accountable for its cle—
mency, or irresponsibility. If she were acquitted, she
should be allowed freely to travel through those very pro-
vinces which she had exposed to civil war, and proceed to
the frontiers, which she might soon think proper to cross
again.
All these results would be real misfortunes.

The Duchess of Berry then could not be tried ; she
should become the object of a political measure ; she is an
enemy that must be deprived of the means of doing
jut y. Measures calculated to attain that end shall, conse-
quently, be presented to the Chambers.
The reason why the Government has applied to the
Chambers instead of the Courts of Law is, that the case
of the Duchess was not one far a sentence but for a poli-
tical measure. There would have been a monstrous con.

fusion of powers, if the Administration had demanded of
the Chambers a sentence, a condemnation, a penalty; for
the legislative and judiciary powers must ever remain dis-
tinct, in order to avoid anarchy and despotism. But the
Chambers could be applied to in a political and regular
manner for a measure of safety.
Was it a sentence the Chambers pronounced, when they
enacted the banishment of the elder branch of the Bout,
boos, and the sale of their property? They, undoubtedly,
did not judge; they passed a political act, a measure of
precaution. Members of a family which reigns, or has
reigned, are in a peculiar situation. It is the Legislature
that decides upon their fate, their fortune, and every thing
connected with the m. The Government have merely cow
funned to what has already been done, in calling upon the
(Limbers to devise necessary measures of security.
It will he asked why the Government has not takes
them itself, and why it wishes to leave the responsibility
on the Climbers ? Ilad it adopted another course, aril
decided alone, it would have been said that it had pre'
sumed to solve a question which did not belong to it, aril
accused of acting in an arbitrary manner ; in fine, of as
act of usurpation. The Government did not wish to inciir
that reproach ; and, with regard to the responsibility, it
has a peremptory reason to show that it bad good reasons
for not wishing to incur it.
In arresting the Duchess of Berry, referring her to the
Chambers, and initiating the propositions which are to be
submitted to them, the men who now compose the Adrois,
nistration have assumed a responsibility sufficiently weight,/
not to be charged with receding from -the arduous dude*
imposed upon them. None, perhaps, will have given
more formal pledge of devotion to the country and to the
throne of July.
The following proclamation was issued by the Mayor
of Nantes, on the 9th inst. :

" Feilow Citizens,
" The Government had decided that the Duchess of
Berry, immediately on her apprehension, should be con-
veyed to Blaye.
" The Lieutenant-General Count d'Erlon, Peer of
France, Commander of the 12th military division, the
Prefect, and the Mayor of Nantes, have accompanied ber
to St. Nazaire, where she embarked.
" The Lieutenant-General has commissioned an ad
junct of the municipality of Nantes, the Colonel of the
National Guard, and the standard-bearer of the artilltlV
to accompany her to the citadel of Blaye, in order to be
able to certify to their fellow-citizens that she was COol'
mitred into safe bands.
" The National Guard will perceive, by that choice'
the satisfaction which their noble conduct has given to the
Lieutenant-General, to all the authorities, and to the vvh°,7
of France, in a circumstance which secures far ever the
tranquillity of the West.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1832.

The Russian Ambassador is said, we know
not how truly, to be still actively engaged in
attempting to induce the King of HoL-
LAND to consent to some arrangement which
would render coercive measures unneces-
sary. We understand, however, that up to the
present time the Dutch King has not shown the
slightest disposition towards concession.

We are happy to state that the official ac-
counts from Oporto, received at the Portuguese
Embassy, are cheering in a high degree. The
army of Don PEDRO has been augmented to
18,000 men, and the city is so well fortified that
50,000 men could not take it. Our gallant
countryman, Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, has
been most graciously received by the EMPEROR,
and is, according to the last letters, busy in
organizing his Irish Legion. 'We subjoin two
letters from Oporto which will be read with in-
terest, for one of them we are indebted to a
friend, who received it from a British officer of
high rank, who arrived at Oporto a few days
after Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE:—
OroßTo, Nov. I.—We were all delighted, Portu-
guese as well as British, with the reception experienced by
our old brother officer Sir John Milley Doyle, who had,
on his arrival a salute of 17 guns from the Portuguese
frigate; and on landing, the same compliment from the
batteries on shore—after which he was graciously received
and kindly welcomed by the Emperor, the Marquis of
Palmella, and Count Villa Flor, the Commander-in• Chief.
He afterwards had the honour cf being invited
by his Majesty to accompany him in a tour round the bat-
teries, with the strength of which Sir John Milley Doyle
Was agreeably surprized, and he observed that he did not
think the enemy could make any impression upon Oporto,
fortified as it is. I was, for my own part, equally asto-
nished at the strength of the place, and more particularly
at the enthusiasm, not only of the troops, but of the in.
habitants also. Deserters are constantly coming in—
never less than eight per day, and the day before the
rival of the packet, twenty-five of the 19th came over in
a body. Whilst Pedro was visiting the lines, within half
musket shot of the enemy's out-posts, two of 111iguel's
men jumped across their works and ran over to
him. It is but fair to say that though the
foreign corps has suffered considerably from being
more exposed, the Portuguese troops have sustained
their comrades with the greatest gallantry and success.
The Emperor's force is augmenting, and, from all I learn,
if attacked to-morrow, he could bring 18,000 men into
the field. The Pedroites are well clothed, clean, and or-
derly, and have plenty to eat and drink; in tact they are
in want of nothing. A curious circumstance occurred
last night. Four young Englishmen went to sup
at a Coffee-house, where they fell in with a Por-
tuguese in a soldier's uniform, who addressed them
in pretty good English, told them every thing he
knew about the army, drank their healths, and wished
them a good night. Some time after his departure they
called for their bill, and were astonished to find that it
had been discharged by this soldier, whom they have
never since been able to find out.
(From an officer of rank in the Portuguese army.)
" We arrived on the 29th (morning) off Oporto, but
tee could not go up the Douro, by reason of the firing
from the Villa Nova side of the river. We landed, there-
fore, at St. Joa de Foe, about three miles the nearest way
from Oporto; but as the river is narrow at parts, there is

a constant fire kept up from the Miguelite shore, and we
were obliged to go round about six miles: and after a
sandy and very fatiguing walk, we arrived in Oporto a
about six o'clock, r. al. We had in all nine, and we armed our-
selves on landing in case of fallingin with the'Miguelite Gue-
rillas, who the night before had advanced upon the Foz,
and had that morning carried from the environs all the
hay and corn. As soon as I arrived, and before going any-
where, or doing anything else, I delivered my hag of
despatches to M. Paltnella. We were all dusty, tired,
fagged, and out of order; but I went from M. Palmella's
to the Emperor direct, just as above, dingy, dirty, and
unwashed, with a brace of pistols in my belt, and a beard
half an inch long. I was immediately admitted. He
was surrounded by his Court, all military. A fine look-
ing man, and the promptitude of his decision coupled with
his high bearing, reminded me of what I had read of the
like in Napoleon's time. I was indeed much pleased,
and the next day I had a second interview, when I re-
mained with his Imperial M.j,sty upwards of three quar-
ters of an hour. He appeared evidently pleased with my pro-
jected plan of operations, and at taking leave thanked me
for the interest I evinced in the cause of his daughter, and
tendered me his hand. I knelt to kiss it, and he at-
tempted to draw it away as though he could wave that
state ceremony, but I was too quick for him. Upon the
whole he is a man whose character is worn upon his brow,
and his demeanour generally of that high, not haughty
bearing, that mu-t command from every one both admira-
tion and esteem. I declare I could give him the last drop
of my heart's blood, and for energy, decision, and indefati-
gable exertions, he is a second Napoleon. We are very strong
here; Miguel might as well attempt to take high heaven
as Oporto. Deserters daily arriving—our troops ail en-
thusiastic—remarkably well together, and, to a man, de-
voted to the cause of liberty, and his Imperial Majesty—
upwards
of 300 French came in yesterday-500 English
the day before-800 more daily expected, besides cavalry.
So that affairs must certainly he brought soon to a favour-
able termination, and then Viva Donna Maria' shall be
our war cry over a bottle of champagne."

It appears by authentic accounts from Paris
that the French Government had discovered the
retreat of the Duchess de BERRI a fortnight be-
fore she was arrested, and had enabled her
friends to apprize her of her danger, so that she
might leave France in time to prevent arrest.
Her obstinacy, however, was unconquerable,
and the Government was forced to act. It is
impossible yet to form an idea of the fate which
awaits the Duchess from the Chamber of Depu-
ties, as there is not a sufficient number of Deputies
in Paris to enable the Government to ascertain the
views of the majority. The Chamber of Peers is
inclined to be lenient, but if the Duchess should
even he condemned to death, the KING will have
the power of commuting the sentence to imprison-
ment or banishment. He will probably prefer
the latter, provided any of the Holy Alliance,
friends of the Duchess, will become guarantees
for her future good conduct.

We understand that the Queen of SPAIN has
applied to the Court of France for a promise of
assistance in the event of an attempt being made
by the Carlists to create an insurrection in their
favour. It is probable, we think, that the request
will be complied with.

Frankfort Papers received to-day contain an
order of the Court of Vienna prohibiting Austrian
vessels from taking any part in the war between
the Porte and the Paella of EGYPT. This
order, which appears rather late in the season,
may be attributed to the recent application of the
SULTAN for the mediation of the European
Powers, especially England and France :

TRIESTE, OCTOBER. —The Austrian Government has
issued the following article:—
" Considering the state of hostility of Egypt with the
Ottoman Porte, Austrian captains of ships are warned,
1. To abstain from the importation of arms and ammuni-
tion into Egypt till the insurrection now existing shall
have ceased. 2. During the present war against the
Porte, neither to take any freight on Egyptian account,
nor to afford the Egyptian party any assistance whatso-
ever. 3. Not to put into any seaport which is actually
blockaded by either of the contending parties ; otherwise
they will have to blame themselves for the melancholy
consequences of their illegal conduct."
(From the Ottoman Moniteur.)

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 1 1. —Orders have been received
at the marine arsenal to fit out with all possible expedi-
tion the ships of the line and frigates which have been for
some time dismantled. The illesadije, a three-decker, is
accordingly arrived, and the Hifii Rahman frigate,
which was still in the new basin, and wanted but slight
repairs, has been launched. The workmen in the arsenal
are making great efforts to get ready the remaining ships
of the line, as well as the cutters, 20 in number, which
have been built in ether parts of the empire, and have
successively arrived at Constantinople.
VIENNA, Nor. l.—Yesterday and to-day our funds
have risen, and those who speculated on a farther decline,
have been disappo;nted. It is affirmed to-day that the
King of Holland has become sensible of his critical situa-
tion, and prefers subscribing to the last proposals of the
Conference.

Leave has been asked and granted, for the Bavarian
troops, that go to Greece with the young King Otho and
the Regency, to march through the Austrian territory.
They are to embark at Venice, for which purpose all the
necessary prep irations are made, and ships hired.

. .
Is is said that Duke Charles of Brunswick will be placed
under the care of guardians ; but it is not at present
known where be now is, as he secretly quitted his attend-
ants, and has not since made any communication to them.

Allgemeine Zeitung, Nov. 6.
MUNICH, Nov. 3.—The departure of the King of
Greece is appointed for the 15th instant. Her Majesty
the Queen, in kind consideration of the health of the per-
sons composing the expedition, is said to have suggested
that physicians, recommended by the professors of our
university, shall accompany them to Greece.
WA RZBIJRG, Nov. 4.—lnstead of Major T. Von Stetten,
of the 3d Regiment of Light-horse, who was first ap-
pointed to the division of cavalry going to Greece, will
be under the command of Prince Edward, of Saxe Alten-
burg, Lieut. in the 2d Regiment of Light-horse, and bro-
ther of her Majesty the Queen.
The 24 battalion of the 12th Regiment, which makes
part of the expedition to Greece, has already left Warz-
burg to proceed to its destination.
The re-organization of the University of Freiburg
(Grand Duchy of Baden) is completed. Professors
Welcker and Rotteck are pensioned off.—Frankfort
Papers, Nov. 6.

Private accounts from Madrid mention that
M. CALOMARDE and the Archbishop of
LEON had set out, under a strong escort, for
Port Mahon on the 31st of October, having
been exiled to that place by order of King FER-
DINAND. It would appear, however, that the
apostolical plot against the KING, or rather
against his daughter's succession, had rather ex-
tensive ramifications, for, on the report of FER-
DINAND'S demise, M. EYMERIE, tl►e Go.•
vernor of Majorca, had proclaimed Don
CARLOS King in that island. The Count
d'ESPAGNE, Governor-General of Catalonia, had
embarked to re-establish the authority of FER-
DINAND in the Balearic Islands. It was current
in the Spanish capital that M. ZEA BERMUDEZ
had refused the office of Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and that M. MARTINEZ ROSA would
be named i► his place. The Count OFALIA,
the present Ambassador from Spain to the
Court of France, would, it was believed, replace
M. BERMUDEZ, as Ambassador to England,
and the Duke of SAN FERNANDO be the new
Spanish Ambassador to Louis PHILIP. It
was generally understood the convocation of the

Cortes had been agreed to in Council, and that
they would meet on the Ist of December next.

The accounts from Smyrna reach to the sth
ult., and furnish us with no political news. The
fair of Balukesar had been well attended ; and
large sales, principally of drape►ies and manu-
factures, had been made. A larger quantity of
figs had arrived from the interior than for many
years, and the buyers had been more numerous
than usual. The finest qualities were quoted
at 355. to 50s. per quintal, and inferior 255.
The price of raisins was fixed at 58s. for Vonila,
60s. for Chisone, and 130 s. for Subtanives.

We have letters from Abo to the 9th Oct.
inclusive. The sanatory state of Finland was
excellent. It was expected the exemption of
duty of entry on grain imported into Eastern
Bothnia would be extended to June 1, 1833.

We have advises from Barbadoes to the 24th
of September. Some alarm had been created
there, in consequence of a report that a man had
died of cholera on board the brig Mims, arrived
from Savannah. The harbour master's report
had, however, dissipated the alarm, as it was
ascertained that during the voyage the Mate had
died of a fever, and that the seaman in question
had been attacked by some chronic disorder.
The vessel had, however, been placed under qua-
rantine. The House of Assembly had passed
a short Bill, giving power to the Commander-
in-Chief to make such quarantine regulations as
he deemed fit, and to draw upo❑ the Treasury
to the amount of 2001. The Bill was to ccn-
thine three months.
