FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Messager des Chambres, net. 3.)

PAH OCT. 2.—A letter from Odessa of September 12
(„which is in no respect official) speaks in these terms
The accounts of the Bth say that the operations before
Varna were very much advanced, and a decisive affair is
expected in a few days."
The Odessa Journal announces the arrival of the Em-
peror Nicholas before Varna, and his daily inspection of
the batteries erected for bombarding the walls of so im-
portant a place ; but no official news has been received
of a general attack, which private letters pretend has been
7,111dP. and in which the Russians, as they say, were re-
pulsed.
We repeat it, nothing positive has been brought respect-
ing Varna, either by the Odessa Journal, or by the letters
from Ozernowitz, which, mentioning the Emperor before
Varna, speak only of the immens, preparations making- for
a general engagement. These letters state at, the same
time, that two Russian tlivkions, and the Polish infantry
of the troops in Poland, have received orders to enter the
two Principalities. The Diplomatic Body was still at
Odessa on the llth of September, waiting fur the news of
the result of the attack upon Varna, to repair to the head-
quarters of his Majesty, or to follow him to St. Peters-
burgh, if lie should think fit to return to that capital.
An Ordonnance of the hips, counter-signed by M.
Hyde de Neuyille, relative to the putting into commission
of the ships of thie Royal Navy, has been puhlished in the
official part of the Moniteur of to-day. It decrees, that
in each of the five military ports of the kingdom, there
be kept several ships in commission, amongst which
there shall be at least one ship of the line or a frigate.
When an order shall he given to put a ship of war into
commission, the Officer who is to command it at sea shall
be impaediately appointed. This Officer shall have under
Ib:9 command, on board the ships of the line and frigates,
a Lieutenant, and on hoard the corvettes and brigs an En-
sign ; and according to the rate of the vessel, he shall also
have under his command the whole or half of the officers
of a company of regular seamen. The remaining articles
of the Ordonnance, which are 42 in all, detail very mi-
nutely all the other regulations to be observed respecting
ships put into commission.

VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—Their Majesties the Emperor and
Empress are expected here to-morrow from Baden. It is
