FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS SEPT. I,7—Yesterday morning the Duke

of Wellington, had an audience of the King, and
took leave of his Majesty and the Rpyal Family.
Ills'Grace had yesterdaN long conference with
the Count Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambas-

sador, after which he left Paris for England.
We learn from Barcelona, under date the 1911
of August, that the state of health in that tow'

is improving : the last bulletin from the lazaretto
reports that no patients were admitted the day
before, that there are two more convalescents,
that only four have died, and that the total num-
ber of sick does not exceed eighteen. The hos-
pitals, the city, the harbour, and the whole
neighbourhood are in excellent health. Another
letter from Barcelona, dated the 20th of August,
says, that there was not a single person affected
with the malady in the town, and that in conse-
quence of the precautions taken, the inhabitants
were not under the least apprehensions.

AUGSBURG, AUG. 25.—We . read in the Ga-
zettes of Stuttgardt a letter from Frankfort,
dated the 20th inst., which gives accounts from
Constantinople, a little different from those which
we had received from our correspondents ate
Vienna; we nevertheless insert them. The first
courier from Constantinople will enable us to
determine on which side the truth lies.
The answer of the Divan to the Ultimatum

which had been given in by Baron Strogonoff,
has been announced only in letters from Con-
stantinople of the 25th. It confirms what we
have said on that subject. This answer indeed
had been given only verbally at the moment the
post was setting out, and it is probable that,
in order to remove as much as possible the
humiliation of appearing to obey the de-
mand for returning an answer in eight days,
the Porte said that it would not return an an-
swer in writing till two days after. However,
the execution of all the articles was promised,
and those which were of a nature to be executed
immediately, or which were susceptible of it, re-
ceived their execution. Danesi and Vasimoff,
who had both been consigned to prison in spite
of the recommendation of the Russian Ambassa-
dor, were released and exiled for form's sake,
but they were told that they might return in a
short time. The embargo on Russian vessels
was taken off, a promise was given to evacuate
the Principalities of Moldavia and Walachia, as
soon as tranquillity should be restored,—to re-
build the Christian Churches,—and to put an
end to the persecution of the Christians. At the
same time, the Porte pretends that they were per-
secuted as rebels, and not as christians, and in proof
of the fact appeals to the nomination of a Greek
Patriarch. Will Russia be satisfied with this,
or will she require guarantees ? Will the Porte
haVe the power or inclination to fulfil these pro-
mises ? These are questions which, it would be
difficult to resolve at the present moment, and
the hope of seeing the Greeks delivered from the
yoke of oppression is still very uncertain ; on the
contrary, there is too much reason to be alarmed
about their condition.

-In fact the same letters from Constantinople
announce that fresh cruelties are again perpe-
trated, more horrible than those that have been
before committed. They add, that not only the
Jews begin to take an active part in the sanguin-
ary scenes which occur in those countries,
,but
that the Christians of different persuasions
fight against each other : the Albanians con-
tend with the Greeks, and in the Island of
Tino the Greeks massacre the Catholics.—

In his late relations with the Porte, Baron
de Strogonoff, as might be expected, employed
the mediation not only of the Austrian Enter-
nuncio, but of the English Ambassador, which
shows that the misunderstanding which had been
between the latter and the Baron exists
no longer; a misunderstanding which doubtless
did not extend to their respective Courts.
AUG. 26.—The different corps of the army of
Count de Wittgenstein are concentrating on the
banks of the Pruth, expecting orders to advance.
The army of Jussuf Podia assembled on the
right bank of the Pruth is now very numerous,
and full of a blind confidence respecting the
issue of this war. The Pacha himself seems to
wish for the moment when hostilities are to
commence. The advanced posts of the two ar-
mies are in sight of each other, but at the depar-
ture of the Messenger not a single shot had been
fired.
VIENNA A uo. 29--The attention of our Mo-
narchy is at this moment chiefly fixed on Turkey,
and,especially on Constantinople and Bessarabia ;
for at Constantinople the great question of peace
or war will be decided, and from Bessarabia the
Russian armies will invade Turkey, if war should
break out. Up to this day, we are unable to
give decisive news from the Ottoman capital ;
for we have received no letters of a later date
than the 31st of July, at which period the Baron
de Strogonoff had not been able to quit Buyuk-
dere, as it was impossible for. him to set sail on
account of the violent tempests which prevailed
in the Black Sea. According to other versions,
the Porte, being convinced that war must infal-
libly ensue if the Baron de Strogonoff took his
departure, had requested the Baron to remain, to
which he had consented with great reluctance.
A Letter of a recent date received at Vienna,
contains the following passage The Divan
having at length declared, that it acceded to the
propositions of Russia, the Ministers of the me-
diating Powers at Constantinople had several
conferences with the Baron de Strogonoff, upon
whom they prevailed, with considerable diffi-
culty, to return to Buyukdere, after having been
on ship-board two or three days.' The next
courier from Constantinople will, no doubt, give
us positive intelligence respecting the issue of the
negociations.

F It ANKFORT, AUG. 213.—A. second Russian
army, of 180,000 men, is now assembled on the
banks of the Dwina. A third, 150,000 strong,
will be ready for service in two months time.

All the troops will be amply provided with am.
munition, military stores, and provisions.
They write from the banks of the Danube,
that war between the Ottoman Porte and Russia
is considered as inevitable.

The banker Rothschild arrived at Hesse Cagsel
the 21st or:tkis month from London. -He had
a .private audience of the. Elector. It is well
known that this banker was always the corre-
spondent of his Royal Highness's father, nho
confided to him very large sums of money at the
time when the French conquered the Electorate.
Insurrectional movements have taken place
lately in Servia. The inhabitants of this province
have at last declared for the cause of the Greeks,
and several Turks have already been killed at
Peschia. We expect anxiously further accounts.
LINTZ, AUG. 20.—A letter from Vienna, of
the 18th says, that war between the Porte and
Russia seems now decided. The latter Power
is on the best terms with Austria. Whatever
may be the result of the campaign, and the suc-
cess of the Russians, it is certain that the Empe-
ror Alexander has renounced all idea of aggran-
dizing his dominions, which ought to tranquillize
Europe,
NUREMBERG, AUG. 22.--Letters from. Poland.
state that General Sacken has been appointed
Commander-in-Chief of all the Russian Armies
destined to act against the Turks. It i 3 affirmed
he will have under his orders three armies, viz.
that of the Count de Wittgenstein, called tl e
army of the South, that of General Yermololi,
and that composed of the corps coming from
Lithuania.
