FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated August It)
TRIESTE, JULY 31.—Merchants' letters from
Arcona announce, that Count Capo d'lstria, Pre-
sident of Greece, had arrived on the 13th at Corfu,
with the Secretary of State, Trikoupis, on board
the Russian ship-of-the-line zof, on board of which
was Adm.,. Heyden. Count Capo d'lstria had had,
at Navetrin a long interview with Ibrahim Pacha,
Cornt lJeyden being present, and in which the
Egyptian Commander is said.to have bound himself
'to evacuate the Morea at the end of August, and to
deliver Hp to the Greek Authorities the fortresses
which were still in his hands. An Egyptian ship of
war is said to have been immediately sent to Alex-
andria, to Inform Mehemet. Ali of the situation of
affairs, and to ask him for transports to, bring away
the Egriptian troops which' are in. Greece. The
same letters say; that Admiral Rigny was at Corfu,
whefe, Admiral Codritigton, who . had-had at .Zante
an -interview_ with Count Capo .
.d'lstria, was ex-
P,Er cted, as welj as Mr. Stratford Canning. It Aims
r.notight that the conferences on. the paciticatiodand
independence of Greece, at. which Count Capo d'ls-
tria is to be present, would soon commence. Meantime, the blockade of -the' ports which the
Egyptians still hold in Greece continues in the
strictest manner;_ and .some Egyptian vessels at-
tempting, to violate it at •Modon are said to have
teen sunk by the ships of war of the Allied Powers.
There is a report here also of the blackade of Alex-
andria and the Dardanelles by the allied squadron,
ease the evacuation of the Morea.should not take
place; and it. is added, -that this measure would
even be combined with a landing, .if Mehemet Ali
'Should refuse to recall his son, or if the Porte should
not ratify the stipulations Which maybe agreed upon
at Corfu. - • -

AUG. 10.—Tat spite of the rainy weather
-a few fine days have been profitably employed, and
the injury done to the harvest will fortunately not be
great as was at first expected. In the depart-
ment of the Lower Seine, and in the neighbouring'
departments, the harvest will be a sixth less pro-
ductive than an average crop. The departments of
Britanny complain less of the state of the crops nn-
der the ground than of the weight of the ears of corn.
The potatoe, which is cultivated in the western de-
partments, will permit them to exchange their ex-
cess of grain with the other departments-. . Rice will
assist the deficient harvest. The Journal du De-
parlemenl du Nord also says, " Our hopes for the
harvest are realised every day. We hear from every
point in our neighbourhood that the corn is cut, and
in some placeS carried in.. The labours of the field
are well advanced, and the farmer will be amply re-
munerated by the abundance and weight of his crop
for the anxiety he suffered some time ago,. It is
no•.v certain that the price,• which has already fallen
in jorne departments will also fall here as soon as
the farmer brings his corn to market."•

BANKS OF THE DANUBE, JULY-27---All' the. flat
country as far as the Balkan is occupied by soldiers,
and completely depopulated of Greek inhabitants.—
the 'east of Bulgaria a civil war has broken out
between the Turks and the Greeks. At Sophia the
Turks raised a body of volunteers, consisting of 800
}dung and wealthy Greeks, who contrived to de-
ceive the Turks that joined them; and all deserted to'
the Russian standard.
The advance of the Russian army along the coast
of the Black Sealroin Vania- is no longer doubtful.
The fortress is blockaded, and it is impoisible that
it can hold our long, as its fortifications are too ex-
tended for its feeble garrison.- There is a great
plenty of provision in the place; and as ntimerous
bodies of Turkish troops, particularly cavalry, are
marching in this direction, it may happen that sonic
bloody combat will take place'in the neighbourhood
before it surrenders. We' have no'positive infcirtna,7
lion from the sieges of Silistris 'oe GiurgevO; but
it is supposed that the 'capture of both places Will
, not cost less time or bloodshed than the conquest of
Braila. The Governor of Siliatria .is,one of the
bravest men in Turkey. • -
Rims, AUG. 9.—We are assured that letters of
171 very recent• date and considerable interest have
arcived here from Greece.
Admiral Rim writes that 'BOO Greek prisoners
Lave been given up, at his request ; that 3,000 'Al-
banian soldiers, auxiliaries of the Egyptain army in
the Morea, have engaged not to Make war against.
the Hellenists; and that Ibrahim Pacha' himself has
, .
formally promised to leave the country wnien he nas
se long occupied with such ill success, to return to
his father. If this news (the authenticity of 'Which
is guaranteed to us) be confirmed, the expedition
projected in favour of the Greeks will' lose much of
its difficulties, but none 'of its irnportance. The
army feels the high honour of. the ' mission confided
to it, and will answet the expectation of-fiance,
happy and proud of being now the 'bearer. of civili-
zation back to those 'placee in which it .had been
formerly fostered.

NRIS, AUG. W.—EVACUATION OF THE MOREA.
—Our Generals are gone, the regiments are col-
lected, Elie vessels are hired, and our expedition to
the
.Morea is in Ili?! execution. In spite of this,
may not something happen to suspend its progress
Tf the object to be obtained by it is accomplished,
before it leaves our shores, will it be sent, on, and
will it be sufficiently justified in. the eyes of that
Power which it may annoy ? The avowed object
of the expedition was to compel Ibrahim in evacuate
the Morett ; and if he evacuates it voluntarily, the
expedition: would become useless. For a few days
past there have been vague rumours of counter
orders, which are strengthened by the reports from
the Levant. According to them, Ibrahim has no-
tified to the Allied Admirals his intention to !eat e
the Morea ; -and they have sent to Alexandria for
transports. If this is the case; Ibrahim may have
left before our troops reach Greece. It was sup-
posed that this evacuation was a proof that the
Porte would adhere to the Treaty of July 6; but this
was a mistake—lbrahim dues not act by the orders of I
the Sultan. The English had a large share iu produ-
cing his resolution ; and by their anxiety to remove
all motives for our expedition, we may judge of
the force they attach to-its not taking place. If Ibra-
him leaves the Mores, whatretison shallwe have to send
our troops ? The object of the Treaty of 6th July
will be accomplished, when Greece is freed front
her enemies. A diversion there in favour of the
RuSsians would be of no use, unless we penetrated
into Thessaly arid Epirus; and this was opposed
,to
the
plan
of the campaign. If the expedition does
not proceed, it will be regretted by France that we
have lost arm opportunity of combatting. in favour-of
a people, as we formerly did in Amenea!i_whoalre
contending for freedom., Our soldiers wi tame
t
that their ardour is restrained ; and perhaps we shall
regret that an active' cu-operation in favour OlGretee
has not placed us in a situation to claini, when the
tune come, indemnity-on our own frolitiers,
which
are exposed at several poimts. We shall, however,
save the exPence of the expedition; we shall not.
plunge into an affair to which human prudence -can-
not sue the eonel.usoOt We shall not put ourselves
in the power of England, by sending troops -to
Greece, whose return she might prevent. We
shall not belong in knowing whether the expedition
or that the motives are not silt&
is to be given up,
dent to make us give it up.

CONSI.I.4NTINOPLr, JUNE 22.—The Sultan -is se-
riously preparing to defend himself against Runsia,
and precautionary measures are pursued with the
greatest energy. The environs of Constantinople
are about bcin:r fortified, especially on the- side of
Belgrade and bashineuil, only four leagues distant
to the northward. -Workmen arc employed raising
redoubts to prevent an enemy from gaining posses-
sion of these important points, and destroying the
aqueducts that supply the capital with water. The
Capitan Paella superintends these works in person.
The promenaders are prohibited from having access

to the same places, which the fineness of the sum-
mer season makes particularly attractive.
Ten Turkish ships, with ammunition of war on
board, have entered the Blacip_ Sea, being towed by
a steamer belonging to the Government_ Great
numbers of troops pa,s daily from Asia into Europe,
especially at the Dardanelles, from whence they im-
mediately proceed to AdrianoPle. Throughout Ru-
tnelia all men capable of_ bearing arms have set off
for the army, Only old men, women, and children,
remain at home. Notice his been published this
fortnight, inviting the population to arm en masse in
defence of Islamism.

Hussein Aga has established his head-quarters at
choumla,where he has been joined by 18 out of 21
troops of cavalry raised by Captain Calosso, which
constitute part of the Sultan's own guard. The re-
maining six troops will also depart shortly, from
whence it is inferred that the Sultan himself means
to head his troops.

Nothipg is neglected with respect to the defence
of the Bosphorus. Independently of the batteries,
which have been put in a-respectable state of defence,
and all of which are within the distance of a cannon-
shot froM each other, ten ships of war, four of
which are of the line, form a formidable bulwark.
Companies of infantry are exercising night and day
on board of these vessels, and, in case of a landing,
may be moved to any given point. This squadron
as well as that in the-Dardanelles, is to be imme-
diately reinforced by some fire-ships, now fitting.
All this confirms in us the idea, that the resolution
of his Highness the Grand Seignior cannot be
shaken, and that he will not yield to the pretensions
of Russia, except by force.
Nine prisoners, taken at Widdin, have been
brought in here. Formerly the Janissaries granted
' no quarter to their enemies, but sent sacks full of
ears to Constantinople. The Sultan is said to have
abolished so barbarous a custom, having commanded
that every man that was disarmed should be held
sacred by the Muisulmans. These prisoners were
not, as formerly, put into the Bagnio, but are lodged
in private houses, Where a taim, or daily ration, is
allowed them.
