FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Etoilt of Monday.)
PARIS, JULY 16,--O►►r letters from Bayonne say,—
" The accounts from Lisbon of the sth announce that
every thing was tranquil. The new Constitution was not
yet klown ; and the arrival of the English frigate Dia-
mondlvus, impatiently expected. This frigate, which has
Sir Charles Stuart on board, sailed from Brazil at the
same time as a Portuguese corvette, which arrived at Lis-
bon on the third. The Regency has published the am-
nesty ; the cession of he Crown to the Emperor's
daughter; the convocation 'of the Cortes, and the other
documents which have been received from Brazil.
We find the following article in the Journal du Com-
merce . _ _

from Mexico, immediately went,o» board the frigate, ac-
companied by the Commander of the Garrison, and re-

day after his landing he procured, both him and Baron

means to proceed to Mexico to fulfil the purpose of their

France, I embarked on the 28th of April for Nantes. No

our flag- the arrival of our Envoy, gave general satis-

" FRANKFORT, July 9.--Up to the 131 St of June there
had not been any new re-action at Constantinople. The
standard of the Prophet which was planted in the fore-
court of the Seraglio, had been removed iota' the Mosque
of Aehmet, formerly the Church of St. Sophia. It is
estimated that near '5,600 Janissaries had fallen under the
pword,of the Bostangines. Those killed beyond the )3a.

Constantinople. The details- do not diner from other ac-
counts which have been .:published, except'that they an-

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1826.

The French Papers of Sunday, including the. Etoile
dated Monday morning, have put us in possession of
much interesting matter relative to the affitirs of
Turkey. In another column we have given at full
length, the Official Note of the Ottoman Porte,
addressed to M. MINZIACKY, Charge d'Affaires of
Russia, dated the 13th • May last, in answer to the
Russian " Ultimatum ;" and although this docu-
ment does ,not disclose any thing which was not pre-
viously known, it possesses a high interest as a speci-
men of Turkish diplomacy, and of the state of humi-
liation to which the Porte had been reduced. It

will be seen by a perusal of this paper, that the Porte
had previously signified its submission to the principal
demands of Russia by a verbal communication, and
that the object of the Note was as much to justify the
previous grounds of refusal, as to express the reasons
of the Porte for now consenting to the conditions pro-
Posed. 14 tone is certainly that of moderation ; and
it seems to profess a sincere desire for the settlement

We publish also in Another colunul, other extracts
from the French Journals. An article from Frankfort
furnishes intelligence from Constantinople to the 21st
June up to vThiqt tame, there appears not to have
Deen any re-action m that city, lhe hiandaril of the
Prophet was still flying, The total number of Janis-
saries killed during the insurrection is said to amount
to 20,000 or '21,000. The Corps Diplomatique at
Pera were unable to the f •
procure means o making

early communications to their respective courts of
the events which were passing, and it was only on
the 19th June that our Ambassador could dispatch
letters to this country.

The accounts from Lisbon come down to the sth
instant, when all was quiet. The new constitution
was not known, and the arrival of his Majesty's ship,
.Dianzond, with his Excellency Sir C. STUART, was
impatiently looked for.

Among the matters contained in the French Papers
relating to France itself, we find a speech of M.
LA F I T TE, at a Special Meeting of the French Chamber
of Commerce, in which he drew a very deplorable
picture of the State of Trade and Manufactures in
France, and ascribed the evil to want of confidence
among the Capitalists. It seems rather surprising as
Capitalists, both in this Country and France, have
dis-
covered that the only cause of all the evils which have
recently existed, and which have so peculiarly pressed
upon themselves, arises from want of confidence
towards each other, that they do not immediately
agree to bring back the halcyon days which they pre-
viously enjoyed, to the delight of their own class, and
that of all other of his MAJESTY'S liege subjects.
-We suspect, however, that the wound is more deeply
seated than to be thus cured.

The accounts from Stockholm, down to the 27th
of June, piesent a melancholy picture of the effect of
the heat and drought in Sweden. The following is
taken from the last French Papers:—

The heat and drought which has prevailed here without inter-
mission for seven weeks, have nearly reduced us to despair. Every
hope of harvest is vanished. The trees in our gardens are whit+
out fruit, and almost with-out foliage ; the fields present no traces
of verdure, and the ears of corn burnt up by the sun, are visibly
perishing. To this melancholy prospect is added, within the last
three days, a darkness of the horixon,which is covered with smoker
proceeding from the fires which have broken out in two
different forests, one about two and the other three miles from this
capital. It is even apprehended that to stop the progress of the
flames, it will be necessary to breakdown the bridges on the north
side of the city.
During the celebration of the solemn ceremonies on the 10th
instant, in the Church of Werholm, on occasion of the churching
of the Princess Royal, the fortresses were to fire 128 rounds of
cannon ; but on the thirty-sixth shot being discharged, a wagg"a
of ammuuition took fire, and blew up ! Nine individuals ill"
been more or less injured, anti some of them are now death. ll'
Hotel of the Commander took fire at the same time, but the flame!
very fortunately were soon extinguished.
30th --.-The fire in the forts/as has been subdued after very great
exertions. It has consumed a space of about a mile and a halfia
circumference.

Intelligence'from Corfu to the 20th June, contained
in the French Papers, mentions that those parts of
Epirus and Macedonia, which have remained hitherto
inactive in the affairs of Greece, are in open insurrec-
tion. From Janina to Durazzo on the one side, and
on the other as far as Ocrida, the mountains are stated
to be filled with armed bands, who denounce ves-
geance agamst their oppressors. This feeling appeals
to have been excited by some recent instances of op-
pression and cruelty on the part
,of the Turks of
Janina, and it is added that in Middle Albania, Chris-
tians, Albanians, and Mahometans, have all declared,
that they will no longer acknowledge Sultan, Vizier,
or Pacha, and some Envoys from the Porte are said
to have been assassinated. The French papers add
that—

On the news of these movements., the Turks of Costoria, -after
having murdered the Archbishop of that town, with many in-
offensive Christians, and pulled down or burned the churches,
advanced upon the beautiful colony of San Marina, which they
sacked.

The inhabitants having had timely warning of the designs of
the barbarians, attacked and defeated them on their retreat, after
which they burned the town of Aniselitxas, and other Turkish
villages in that country. Other disorders are spoken of in the
environs of Ocrida, and as far as Scodra, where we are assured
there have been many serious skirmishes. It appears certain
that wherever there are Christians and Turks that war is inevite
ble, it being impossible that the same ground can nourish the
oppressed anti the oppressors, and that it can only be terminated,
as the Sultan Mahmoud has declared, by the extirpation of Chris-
tianity ; for he calculates too much on the assistance of the ll*
Alliance, that it will not sacrifice the children of Jesus Christ ee
the legitimacy of the successors of Mahomet, and the &Tip
• • les ci
the Koran. All interference the Greeks know to be only a stet'
tagem to deliver them to the Turkish sabre : there is no alterar
tine for them but independence or death.

We observe that is again stated in the French P4'
pers, under the head of Barcelona, July 8, that 11,4
Spanish Government have appointed Commodore
FREYRE D'ANDRADE, Commander in Chief of th°
Naval force, confining his operations frOm Cape St. Vie.
cent to Cape Gatte ; and that several vessels, being owe
cruising between the two Capes, for the protection e'
the coasting trade, most of the Colombian privatere
have left these parts, to cruise beyond Cape COW 10
Cape Saron.

The same article from Barcelona mentions, that the
news received from Portugal has caused a very re
sensation there ; and that, although the violent l;
olists comfortthemselves by saying that the events'
Portugal; will not have the smallest influence on Sloin;
yet, from what they hear from Madrid, it would seen
:
that the Government entertain a very different opin°

Hie Majesty's frigate Druid, arrived at Port-"e'

KENZIE, his Britannic Majesty's Consul-General t°
Hayti, who was received with every public demootry

29th, at which period Mr. MAcKzarztE was busli
engaged in framing a commercial Treaty, upon a hs'zs

of mutual advantage to the two countries, and which
it was confidently hoped, would much advance the Pry
