FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Oct. 1.)

FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, SEPT. 3.—The rein-
forcements ordered to join General Geismar to effect
the deliverance of Krajova, consist of some corps of
infantry, cossacks, and hulans. Part of these troops,
which have been sent towards Bucharest, has re-
ceived during its march orders to proceed directly
to Ghiurgewo, because information has been received
that the Turks have attempted on that side to in-
tercept the lines of communication of the Russian
army. The Russians are forming an entrenched
camp at Czoroy.
PARIS, SEPT. 30.---The official part of the llfo-
niteur contains the following Note, which ac-
quaints us with the names of the only Prelates who
have not signed the Memoir of the Bishops, or who
have signed it with restrictions.
DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS.

By art Ordinance of the 29th September, 1828,
his Majesty has determined—first, the number of
Secondary Ecclesiastical Schools in the Dioceses of
Auch, Bordeaux, Blois, Cambrai, Dijon, Gap, Poic-
tiers, and Soissons. Secondly, the communes in
whichl those schools shall remain established.
By a second Ordinance of the same day, his Ma-
jesty has approved of the nominations made by the
Archbishops and Bishops of those Dioceses of the
Superiors or Directors of the twelve Secondary
Ecclesiastical Schools established there, all in con-
formity to the Ordinance of the 26th of June, the
regulations of which shall be successively carried
into execution.
The Moniteur likewise contains an Ordinance of
the King, of the 28th of September, which grants to
the entrepot at Marseilles permission to grind corn
and reduce it to flour, on condition of replacing it in
the entrepot. A committee of seven persons is to
superintend the issuing of the corn from the entrepot
and the return of the flour, and shall see to the ac-
complishment of the formalities prescribed by the
ordinance.

The evening before yesterday the Minister of
Foreign Affairs dispatched an extraordinary courier
to the Russian head-quarters.
(From the Journal des Debats of Tuesday. )

PARIS, SEPT. 29:---We ought, by this time, to
have been advised of the arrival of the Emperor
Nicholas at head quarters. Having quitted Odessa
on the evening of the 4th, to return by land to
Varna, even admitting the necessity of a numerous
escort, through countries but just escaped from Mo-
hamedan dominion, he ought to have been able to
march st. hundred and odd leagues in six days at
most ; and our direct news from the seat of the war
have reached us frequently in less than twenty days.
The attack on Varna, fixed'for the 9th of Sept.
was calculated on a more rapid return of the Emperor.
Nevertheless, since the last Bulletin of the opera-
tions of the siege, the Turks and Russians cannot
have remained in inaction under those walls which

_ .....-..
the Capitan Pacha has sworn to Tender only in
ruins to the successor of Prince Menzikoff. The
former would never rest for ten days on their arms
when a general assault of the place was threatened.
The advanced guard, commanded by Gen. Audi-
ger, was re-inforced from the other side of the
Balkan, by the main body of the army of Shumla,
on the 28th of August. Since that concentration,
we have heard nothing from head quarters of Count
Wittgenstein ; and as early as the Ist of September,
the troops of the Grand Vizier were carrying into
effect their union with those of the Hussein Pacha.
The siege of Silistria does not appear to be pushed
with the vigour of that of Brailow; and yet this
place keeps in check a large Russian division, for
the purpose of preventing its garrison communicating
with the rear of the main army.
The Pacha of Widdin has returned to his camp;
but General Geismar has not yet resumed the offen-
sive in Lesser Wallachia, and the population of that
principality is still exposed to fresh incursions. One
of its provinces is already in a state of complete de-
vastation.
All this is not strch a picture as six months age
would have been painted of the state of affairs during
the first days of k .ptember.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
PARIS, SEPT. 29.—A rumour has long been pre-
valent that the Bishops and the Government have
each referred their conduct to the Holy See. It
appears that the answer to that reference has arrived.
The Afessager des Cliambres of to-day confirms the
fact in its comment on an article in L' Ami de la Re-
ligion et du Rui. This answer is calculated to dis.
appoint all the hopes of the busy-bodies of the priest
party • it orders the Bishops to depend upon the
well-known piety of his Majesty. The answer is
wise—it is satisfactory—it might even be considered
as a covert attack upon the Bishops, if practical
joking were possible in the Vatican. Let the success
of the reference of the Government to Rome be what
it may, we cannot approve of the propriety of
making it. We are ignorant of the terms in which
this reference was made to the Holy See. Without
doubt, the dignity and independence of the
Royal authority were carefully maintained; but
ought Government to have made aiiy thing
else than a simple communication, and was it net cul-
pable in going so far as to make a reference ? To refer
is to demand advice, approbation, sanctien. What
would it have done, if the answer had not been
satisfactory ? •If the two ordinaries had been dis-
approved ? Would it have yielded, or would it
have resisted ? If it had yielded, it would have sa-
crificed the dignity of the Crown of France, it would
have sacrificed its independence, it would have re-
cognised the authority of Reuse in matters which
did not belong to it, and which at all times were
foreign from it. The instruction of the public was
never at any time a prerogative of the chtirch—it
irever at any time formed part even of its ultra-mon-
tane pietensions. Our Kings have had ditsputts
with the Pope upon the institution of Bishops, up, n.
benefices, &c., but never upon the universities
their establishments, and their internal organizatioul
If it had resisted, what would have happened ?
It would have placed itself in open conflict with
the authority of Rome—it would have given to that
authority the support of the busybodies—of the
lovers of scandal—of the Jesuits, &c. It would
have given them the means of creating. a schism—it
would have placed itself in the situation of the Im-
perial Government, without retaining the wish, and
without enjoying the power which that Government
possessed, of sending a few regiments to Rome.
Moreover, what good 'could have been done by a,
few regiments at Rome ? The Roman Power is one
of those whose rights it is no longer necessary either
to deny or to discuss.. We may leave it to believe
in its own strength if it likes; we may leave it to
divide and to distribute continents, as it did at the
time when they were discovered, and to expect that
it will reign for -eyer. We may permit the old
powers to dream, for it 'is no more requisite to com-
bat than to credit their dreams. Silence and re-
spect are due to old age.
The Ministry, by referring this • matter to the
holy See,
imprudently exposed itself to a discus-
sion, of which neither itself nor others could foresee
the termination. It has been fortunate : has it been
wise?

letterifrom his father, and to invite him to Navarin,
to colder with him (Admiral Codrington).
The three Ambassadors had left Corfu. Mr. S.
Canning on the night of the 25th of August,
Ribeaupierre on the night of the 30th, and M.
Guilleminot on the 31st. The letter of the 9th
says, that Ibrahim Paella had left Patras in conse•
quence of the invitation of Sir E. Codrington, to re-
turn by way of Pyrgos to the fortresses of Messina.
His troops had nowhere molested the Greek inha-
bitants, and had paid punctually for all the provisions
furnished them by the latter, as they had always
done so long as Ibrahim was in Patras. It was af-
firmed that 40 Egyptian transports had arrived at
Modon.

Count Bulgari, Agent from Russia to the Greek
Government, who arrived on the Bth at Corfu, was
to sail on the 10th for Zante. Count Perim, Russian
Aulic Counsellor, and Ensign Sassanoff, accompany
Count Bulgari.
SMYRNA, SEPT. 1.---The Porte has just addressed
to the Pachas of Asia Minor orders relative to the
French expedition to the Morea. After announcing
the great victories which its invincible armies have
gained over the Muscovites, it informs them that a
new enemy is ready to attack the Empire, in defiance
of treaties, without any cause for making war on one
of its most ancient allies. It calls to mind what
passed in 1798, and invites all Mussulmen to be
ready, in case of aggression, to take part in the sacred
war. Circulars fix the amount of the contingents to
be furnished by each district in Anatolico, and sent
to Salonichi, whence a great expedition will sail
about the end of October for the Morea ; 40,000
men from Rumelia and Macedonia will join the
Asiatics to put an end to the anarchy which has pre-
vailed for seven years in the Morea.
The Sultan being informed that Ibrahim Pacha
was treating for the evacuation of the Merea, has
sent firmans, prohibiting him from listening to any
proposals ; and if he should do so, he declares him
an Infidel, a Perjurer, and a Caffer, and an enemy
to the Empire. We shall see how Ibrahim will act,
and whether Mehemet All, by permitting him to
obey, will declare himself in a state of revolt against
his Sovereign. This would not be without incon-
venience to him, in the midst of a people who have
long hated him for his innovations and his extortion ;
for the Egyptians, notwithstanding the regeneration
imposed on them, are the most wretched nation in the
world.
