FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Journal des Debals, of Thursday.)
NFL's, SEPT. 27.—The movements of the great States
of Eastern Etiropt, becomes daily more animated. The
diplomatists can no longer dissemble the approach of a
crisis which may easily become general.
_ _

The news from Odessa, and from Bucharest, does not
announce the result of the fires at Constantinople ; but
there can be no doubt that that disaster was the effect of
discontent, and was intended as a cover to the project of a
revolt. The bostandgi who have been attempted to be
enrolled by force, in the new army, are the authors of the
conflagration which suddenly burst forth at the moment
that the Sultan was about to come solemnly forth at their
head. The whole of the palaces of the grandees have
fallen a prey to the flames.
The ancient corps of the firemen and porters who have
been disgraced as-well as the Janissaries, and who are ani-
mated by the same feelings of resentment, would not lend
the least assistance to save the palaces of their enemies.
The common people of Constantinople have so little to
lose,.that a fire to them is litde else than a show. But the
most important news, if confirmed, is, that the new sol-
diery themselves have quarrelled, and that the interior of
the Seraglio is in a state of frightful disorder, and the life
of the Sultan menaced. It must be confessed, at the
same time, that.no certain news can be well expected, for
Pens itself is in the greatest alarm ; the palaces of the
Ambassadors, deprived of their ancient and faithful Janis-
saries, are alMost without guard and means of defence.
Is there no cause for fear, that an unbridled populace,
persuaded that the Francs, the giaours, are the instigators
of the reformers of Mahmoud, should carry fire into the midst
of the halls, whence certain Diplomatists sent forth lately offi-
tie! articles so tranquillizing and so favourable to the Sultan.
It is certain that uneasiness prevails at Vienna, and the
nietaniques have experienced a fall; they were down to
89, but they have. arisen again a little. Some commercial
letters announce news of a graver import, such as the ras-
sage; of the Pruth, but without any guarantee of its truth.
The Russian army will, probably, make no forward move-•
molt until the 7th of October, and then only to occupy
Wallachia and Moldavia. The correvontlents from Vienna,
and some of. the Journalists at Paris, ought to accustom
themselves to a little less precipitation in the steps which
they attribute to these armies; these premature reports
serve only to render public opinion less estimable in the
eyes, of those who are already sufficiently inclined to con-
temn it.

Amongst. the reports that have reached us from Vienna
one only merits serious attention; 'tis that which announces
a Family Congress,formed of all the branches of the Im-
perial House, comprehending , the sccundo-genitures of
Tuscany and Modena. The ostensible object is to regulate
some business relative to the succession of the immense
private property of the flintily; and as M. de Metternich
is Chancellor of the family (haus-kaatzler), his presence
at this Congress is very naturally accounted for. Those
who know the passion of the High German aristocracy for
hereditary estates, and to preserve the person and the sys-
tem' of M. de Metternich at all hazard::, suspect this Con-
gress has a higher object, and that a succession much more
important than that of hereditary domains will be discussed
at it. Another interior cause May have its share in
the uneasiness of the Court of Austria. The Di, of
Hungary persists in remaining assembled, while the Court
employs every secret means to engage it to separate, which
it cannot do, without giving up the heavy complaints it
has made of violations in the Constitution—complaints to
which it has hitherto been able to extract but unsatisfactory
and equivocating answers. The Ministerial partyin Hun-
gary has at length perceived the danger which may one
day result from the 'neighbourhood of a colossal power,
which formerly, by defending with apparent generosity the
Dissenters of Poland, oppressed by the Republic, in spite
of treaties, succeeded at last in subjugating almost all the
Polish territory. There are Dissenters in Hungary; also
the, Oriental Greek Church is very powerful there, and
nearly the half of the Hungarian Nobility belongs to the
two Evangelical Communions. Their complaints are loud ;
they are wounded in all their constitutional rights. The
constant reply of the Emperor is, that he; personally, is a
friend to liberty of worship, but that he is merely consti-
tutional King of Hungary. The High Catholic Clergy
Of Hungary are entirely devoted to the Court, and have
been advised by M. de Metternich to cajole the Protestants,
and, above all, to put an end to the pecuniary exactions
which they allowed with respect to them.
While Austria casts towards every quarter looks more
or less auxious, Russia appears to fear nothing either on
the part of the Persians or the Turks, who are but' petty
enemies, or on the part of the secret societies. Meanwhile,
the minute care with which the Grand Duke Constantine
is excluded of all participation in the succession and the
Regency has this inconvenience, that it leaves always ex-
isting some suspicion of combinations, in opposition to the
established order of things, although those suspicions may
appear quite devoid of foundation.

leads to the conclusion that the fire was the result of wil-

of the corps of the Janissaries seems to some persons a
a guarantee against the appearance of new disorders.
There is much talk here of an incident which the Sultan
met with a short time before the fire , broke out. The
Sultan Mahmoud, is going in pomp to Eskai Serai, in
the midst of his body guard, having noticed, in the crowd,
a man with a thick black beard, a green turban, and of a
peculiar physiognomy, ordered him to be arrested. The
Selictur, uncertain whom .he meant, was going to seize
another man; but his Highness cried out to him—" It is
not that one, it is this one ;" and he accompanied this
