FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated August 10.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 11.—It is affirmed that
Ibrahim has written to the Porte that the want of
provisions and the prevalence of all kinds of diseases
had increased so much, that the Albanians left him
in whole troops to return to their own country; that
he had, in consequence, communicated to the Admi-
rals of the Allied Powers proposals for the evacua-
tion of the Morea; declaring, at the same time, that
he would not make himself responsible for the exces-
Fes which the Albanians, on their return, might com-
mit in the interior of the Morea.
It should seem that the Commanders of the Allied
Squadrons had, in consequence, immediately dis-
patched an Aviso.to Alexandria, to ask for transports;
and that Count Capo d'lstria was expected in the
Roads of Navarin, to take part in the negociations
• for the evacuation of the Morea.
It is supposed that Ibrahim would not have taken
this step without instructions sent him by the Porte,
at the time that it addressed, through the Reis
Effendi, invitations to the Ambassadors of France
and England, at Corfu, to return to Constantinople.
Accordingly, it was lately reported very generally,
th it the Porte had resolved to accept the Treaty of
London ; but the Minister of the Netherlands has
since delivered to the Reis Effendi the answer of
Count Guilleminot ; and some expressions in it—for
instance this—" That the Sultan carried on, con-
trary to the instructions of his people, a war which
cause his ruirr," have so displeased the Porte,
that even the Reis Effendi has expressed himself
with some bitterness on the subject ; the Porte has
in consequence, endeavoured to make it be believed
that Ibrahim had entered into negociations with the
A.Aimirals, not in consequence of previous instruc-
tion., but spontaneously, and from real necessity.—

VIENNA, JULY 31.—The news that Don Miguel
hag taken the title of King, and that the Junta of
Oporto haft been dissolved by the Captain of that
city, has caused a great sensation here, and the Mi.
;sister of Portugal at our Court has suspended his
functions. The Minister of Brazil, on his part, has
addressed to all the Legations a circular, like that of
;he Minister at London.
The news from Constantinople is not very inte-
rect:ng. It seems that the Porte will await the
issue of the contest under the walls of Constan-
tinople.
The accounts from the Principalities respecting
the plague, Are so alarming, that our Government
finds itself obliged to station along the frontiers a
sanitary cordon.—The same.
PARIi, AUG. 9,—The .Journal du Commerce pub-
bsbed yesterday the following news, as the conjec-
ture,: of well-informed persons in the capital:—
" The Porte is resolved to recognise, as far as it
is wncerned, the Treaty of Eth July.
" The Russians, alarmed by the ravages of the
plague in the provinces in their rear, are disposed to
finish this campaign gloriously by the deliverance of
Greece, and the occupation of some fortresses on
the Danube and the Black Sea.
" The evacuation of the Morea by Ibrahim seems
to i'.‘e a.ready agreed upon. Admiral de Rigny will
not wait t.;II a General comes to share the glory of
it with him, And we shall have certain information
before the emiNrkation of the expedition.
" In this cm.' the expedition would not take
place, and part of ►he troops assembled at Toulon
would be only employed in obtaining from the Re-
gency of Algiers the satis!action which it still per-
sists in refusing it.

PARIS, AUG. 9.—The friends of hutnarney—the
men of the 19th century—have heard with joy that
at length the French Government has detefinineil
to
follow the example given by the most honours:tile
:lasses of society, by sending to the Greek Goverri'--
;nent the sum, of 500,000 francs. The people of
France, and the Greeks themselves acknowledge it,
have seconded, by all the means in their power, the
noble e.ause of Greece. This measure of the Go-
vernment indicates that it has taken a side, that it is
Teeolved to set on a system, and there can no longer
be any doubt as to the fulfilment of the expedition
about to leave our ports for the Mediterranean.
Some contradictOry reports have been spread on this
subject; but we hope that our Government will
i.ersist, and not be tinned from its course either by
the negociations or the threats of England, if she
proceed to use threes. She is redoubling her efforts
to prevent our ships and our army iron; going to the
Morea, and presses on our attention the probability
of Ibrahim evacuating the Peninsula, who w,ll un-
Aoubtedly not wait for the landing of the French
troops to return to Egypt. The question, however,
is the deliverance of Greece; and this cannot be ac-
complished except by force. The refusal of General
fluillerninot to return to Constantinople, notwith-
standing the repeated requests of the Porte, shews
that our Cabinet has taken a resolution from which
nothing will henceforth divert it, and we hope that
the opposition of England will be an additional mo-
tive to make it persevere,
The following preparations are making at Mar-
seilles and at Toulon for the expedition to the
Morea, according to the Precur.seur de Lyon.
At Marseilles, transports are collecting to the
amount of 18,000 tons, and M. Berangee, Capitaine
de Fregate, is appointed to examine them. The
thirty-two transports at Toulon measure 6000 tons;
end these, added to the transports at Marseilles, may
enable us to estimate the force to be sent to the
Nlorea. It is conjectured, as 1 is aeressary for one
man, and eight torts for a horee, and as about 1,200
horse will be sent, that the force, including some
troops carried is the men of war, will be about
11,0011 men. All the vessels token up are to he at
Toulon by August 10. Provisions sire collecting,
and there seems nothing but a deficiency of seamen,l
svhich will be an impediment ; but it is supposed
/tat permission will be given by the Office of Eaip
reeve to employ more foreign seamen than the regu-
latim'S specify.

PARIS, Aua, 9.—We can announce to the public
that the Superioi' Council of War, under the au-
spices of the Daupkine, and in concert with the
War Minister, is occupi,ed with -the re-organizatioe
of our military system. Our military power will
hereafter consist of an army activity and an army
of reserve ; but it is supposed thers will be aneeegsity
so reduce the time of actual service,
We read what follows in the Jourisal du Cher:

lating the Petits Seminaries are to be consie!ered
by a certain party, as attacks on the Churck
The Archbishop of Bourges has already corn-
Plained of the persecutions which threaten the
"aural- The Cure de Viergon said in his pul-
pit, that a terrible revolution had devastated
irance, but that a more terrible revolution Was
preparing, and that perverse principles were ape
gearing in all Places. He exhorted pious souls to
be on their guard against their pernicious influence,
rand to subscribe for a religious work that he meant
to publish, We are afraid the Cure was in error,
and meant to call on his hearers to subscribe ten
francs for the Society for the Defence of the Chris-
tian Religion. The Clergy, who now only speak
'in protestations, seem to have forgotten the great
16th
protestation of the century, Which was
pro-
voked by the excesses of the Court of Rome,
and
against which the power of that Court afterwards
failed.
STRANGE CONDUCT OF A CURE.—The French
Clergy cry out against persecution ; but it will be
curious to compare their acts with their words. The
greater part of the Bishops protest against the Ordi-
nances of the King ; and a number of Cures do all
in their power to obtain the direction of loan
ocal
matters. We are informed that a young Clergy
at a parish near Caen, being offended at seeing nobody
at church in the evening, except a few aged women,
all the youth of the village being collected at a danc-
ing party, left his church in his robes, preceded by
the beadle; and followed by the few persons who
