FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de Frawe, dated Thursday.)

CON STA NTINOPLE, MAY 1 the new concessions
of the-Porte have proved fruitless, as Wight have been ex-
.pected. On tide other band, the expected result of its oh-
atin4cy has arrived ; we are at war; Pere has had its illu-
sions dispelled ever since the 13th. On that day we re-
ceived the news of the passage of the Pruth by the Russians,
as well as the Russian Manifesto, and Count Nesselrode's
letter to the erand Vizier. The Divan immediately had
an extraordinary meeting. Its sittings have since been
Leal both day_ and night, and yesterday war was announced
by proclamation in all the market places, and in all the
mosques. The Mussulinen received this news with the in,
difference which is a consequence of their religious faith,
and the public tranquillity has not yet been interrupted for
a single moment. • ,

MAY • 19.—(Fiont ,
,another Correspondent).—The
Porte tece;ved on the 14th thp Declaration of War by
Rusiia, and
.On the lhth the news of the passage of the
Pruth. Commissioners of the Divan publicly announced
the Declaration of War in the market-places and the
mosques. At the same time an Ordinance was issued for a
general arming, strictly enjoining all the Mussulmans to
unite for the defence of their religion and their country,
and to, go to the residence .of the Chiefs of the several
quarters to receive arms. It is by -these measures that
the Postiellas answered the Declaration of Russia, and it
is prepa►ing to support the contest. At the same time it
has made the European Ministers acquainted wits Its
resolution, requesting them to inform their respective
Courts that it was going to try the fortune of arms in de-
fence of its incontestible rights, and that it would rather
perish than suffer laws to be dictated to it, so long as it
had arms in its hands.

To the general surprise, the tranquillity of the ospital
has riot been interrupted in this critical moment. The
standard of the Prophet, which is generally displayed on
all declarations of war, has not, yet been hoisted.

No fears of excesses are enter tamed at Pera. M. d'Ot-
tenfels; who was going to the baths at 13russa, has resolved
to remain at his post. The troops that were still in the
capital have been ordered to assemble at Boinouk ()whine;
several detachments of regular troops are already gone
thither.

The Asiatics, not, trained to the European discipline,
have not hitherto made any preparation fur departure. On
the whole, the appearance of the city is no more military
than it was a few days, ago.—Augsburgh Gazette.
ODESiA, MAY 23.—We expect every moment the fleet
from Sebastopol, which has 14,000 regular troops on
board ; the transports hired by the Government have re-
ceived orders to join it. They are laden with ammunition
and provisions for four months. The Empress is expected
to-day.

VIENNA, June 2.—The Emperor of Russia is'expected
at Bucharest. The bombardment of Ibrail (Braila, or
Brailow), commenced on the 22d; several Turkish de-
tachments, which came out to forage, have been made pri-
soners by the Russians, who have cut off the communica-
tion with the fortress. All the trees and houses in the
environs have been burned by the garrison, that the bat-
teries may be able to act: The Russian troops in the camp
are engaged in making fascines and ladders, and it is sup-
posed they mean to carry the place by storm. Braila never
yet has been taken, and it would be regarded by the,Turks
if it should be se soon taken.

Active preparations are making for the passage of the
Danube, which, it is said, will take place on the 28th.--

necessary tn go at great length into the-questian, as he load
the opportunity on a former occasion of going very fully
into the subject. The prindiple of the Bill .was the nnly
subject at present is dispute. The principle of this Bill.
was the regulatiortiof the Corn Trade, by means of a duty
instead of prohibitibnit, ;That' principle was adojited by ii
large inljority of that House •in the, course of last
The principle of prohibition was one which was new 'in
this country until 1815. Till then the principle had been
rather that of duty than actual prohibition. From the
year 1815 till the present period, the system of prohibition
had been attended with many inconveniences; and on a va-
