FRENCH PAPERS.

AUGSBURG, 11.—The dispatches lately
received by the Austrian Government from
Petersburg and. Constantinople wilre,of a very
important nature ; they occasioned the 'holding
of many Cabinet councils of Ministers in the be-
ginning of this month, at which the Prince de
Metternich presided. Nothing has transpired
respecting the result of these deliberations ; but
it is reported that his Highness is on his journey
to his domain Of Seiteustetten, where the Em.

•
peror now is residing.
It is said that the Prince deMetternich will
submit to the kanp-ror a new declaration on.the
affairs of Turkey, which, if approved by his
Im-
perial Majesty,will be sent to the Court of Russia.
This declaration has been drawn up conformably
to the last notes transmitted by the Porte to the
Count de Lutzow, the fnternuncio at Constanti.•
nople. The latter has, since the departure of
Baron de Strogonoii. for Odessa, exercised pro-
viSionally the functions of the Minister of Russia.
Th 4 Divan has expressed his satisfaction at this
change, reiterating at the same turtle its causes_ of
complaint against the Baron de Strogonoff.

We -cannot avoid remarking that political
events which have 'relation to the discussipus be-
tween, the...P.(3rtebud Aussia are become so com-
plicated for some time, that it is impossible to
foresee their issue. While the nogociations are
thus protracted, the Insurrection makes daily
fresh progress in the Peloponnesus and the
islands of the Archipelago. The presence of
the Russian army on the Pruth prevents the
Divan frOm sending a sufficient force to reduce
the revolted provinces. On the other hand, the
fermentation prevailing in Servia and Bulgaria
is the cause of very serious_ disquietude to the
Porte; and the embarrassments are further increas-
ed by the spirit of sedition shewn by the inha-
bitants of Constantinople, and the numerous
troops in ~the neighbourhood.
In Russia the people and the army cry aloud
for war against the Turks.
At 'Warsaw much agitation prevails. The
Polish army, under the command of the Arch-
duke Constantine, are constantly exercised, and
kept in readiness to march at a moment's notice..
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 10.—We are assured that
the Turks, under :the orders . of Mahomet
Paella, have, obtained possession of the castle of
Livadia, and massacred more than 2,000 Greeks,
to whom they had promised an amnesty.
We have received by express the news that
metallics were disposed of at the Exchange of
Vienna, on the 4th instant, at 71 5-16. c‘The
scripts of Rothschild's loan were at a discount.

Several regimei:ts of infantry, who have been
taken out of the garrison towns of Bohemia,. are
now marching through Vienna,. on their way to
Hungary, to occupy the positions of those troops
who
.Jiave advanced towards the Turkish fron-
tiers. Seventeen Frontier regiments (a species
of Militia) are completely equipped, and wait
only for orders.to proceed to their ulterior des-
tination.

AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.
'From the Moniteur.]

13.1YONXE, SEPT. 9.—We have received from
Spain letters which come down to the sth of this
month. They contain a correct account of the
late events there, as well as the Proclamations
published by the Political Chief and by General
Riego.

General Riego had set out on a journey to a
part of the province called Tierra Baja; the
species of smothered agitation and discontent
which prevailed in the town for several days,
induced the Authorities to take measures to
prevent any tumults, attempts having.been made
to disturb the public tranquillity. 1t was gene-
rally circulated that some persons had uttered
cries of " Live the Republic !" in the night of
the 28th and 29th of_ August,- in the Market
Place,and the exclamation had occasioned serious
disquietude in many minds. A man named Vll-
lamor was pointed out as having taken part in
this transaction, and the next day was arrested.
On the 28th of August the Political Chief.
issued the following Proclamation : •
" Inhabitants of Saragossa,—Amidst the agitation I observe
among you, and which the voice of my authority is about to calm,
my silence may have appeared astonishing. Reports are spread
!that new enemies of oTder are working against the • system of
the Government to which the King and the nation have sworn.
These reports alarm and fill you with indignation, and you
would have before now been eager to oven throw them, had they
not been buried in obscurity. But, inhabitants of Saragossa,
whatever enemies you may have, you have nothing to fear. My
vigilance follows their steps, and every thing inconsistent with
orner, or which might disturb your repose, will be immediately
dissipated. Your property and your persons, the preservation
of your iteprescriptible rights, the religion of your fathers, and
that constitution to which you swore on the rtth of March, are
under the safeguard of all the energy of my power. The
machinations of those who attempt openly or in the dark to de-
stroy
this fundamental law, will be rendered abortive by the
courage of the brave troops and national guards, directed by
Chiefs who have given them •so many proofa of attachMent.
" The Constitution, and nothing but tl:e Constitution !" In-
habitants of Saragossa, " The Constitution or death !" These
*Arr tie -crimanthousatitt -trines' repeated try this capitAl:. - We!
will preserve the Constitution, because the nation wills it, and
because it is the system best suited to its glory-and prosperity.
Penetrated with these sentiments, unite your effhrts to mine ;
banish diatruat. No obstacle can withstand the intimate
union of men who wish only the happiness of their country.
(Signed) " FRANCISCO M6REDA, Political Chief.
" Saragossa, Aug.• 243."

On the 31st a Courier Extraordinary arrived
frorn. Madrid, with orders to General Riego to
deliver' up the command of the province to the
Political Chief, and to proceed to Lerida, there.
to consider himself under arrest. Many Officers
of' different corps also received orders to go to
different places which were narm,cl to them, and
the Regiment of the Constitution was directed to
march to Catalonia. The Political Chief pub-
lished the same day a Proclamation, containing
the following passages
" Inhabitants of Saragossa---After an interval
only of four days, I address you again, under no
'apprehension of $,/Yeaking to you in vain, or of
abusing the deference and consideration • you
shelved me on the 28th of August. I-then told you
all that I deemed necessary to calm your disquie-
tudes, and to apprize you of the storm gather-ling
in our horizon, and the bloyi meditated against our
fundamental law. I should think myself deli- 1
cient in my duty, if I did not return thanks to
the garrison, , the national guard, and the

hitants of this town, for having maintained order
and tranquillity, and for • confounding projects,
as insensate as they are sanguinary, which were
designed to. destroy what has cost us so much
labour to establish. 'When ydu shall be Made
acquainted with the details of the iniquities in-
; tended to be perpetrated, you will shudder and
be astan,ished that such designs should have been
conceived by the human-heart. Know then, fo'
the present, that your lives, your wealth, and
your Constitution, were to become the prey
-of a mad fury, and that a party proposed,
under the veil of seduction, to- Anvolve
this town in a chaos of horor, anarchy,
' death, and confusion. :But the Genius of Evil;
which directed these plots, soon found that the
inhabitants of Saragossa of the *year' 1821, have
inherited from the heroes who repose under the
ruins of this town, those virtues which are int-
compatible with crime and treason. Rely, in-
habitants of Saragossa, on my efforts and vigil-
ance being employed, to my latest breath,
in 'delivering you from every enemy who shall
attempt- to deprive you of the- precious de-
posit of your glory and happiness. Continue
to act cordially with me. and I. promise you, that
if there still exist among you any fanatics who
think it possible to change .or to destroy the
Constitution of the Monarchy, they shall learn to
their cost that the Spanish nation will
,not retro-
grade into the fatal.ages of- despotism, as these
,ervilelmemio of the country 4esire,nor support
Its existence by institutions •WMch ha a kcausild
the ruin of so many people.
(Signed) " FRASICISCO MOREDA, Political Chicf.
" Saragossa, Aug. 31."
General: Riego not being at Saragossa when
the courier extraordinary arrived, the Political
Chief desired an officer to communicate. to him
the intelligence he had just received, and to pro=
ceed to Lerida from the place where he might
then be, without . returning to Saragossa. The
officer.
.found General Riego at Bujaraloz, ten
leagues from Snragossa. On receiving this dis-
patch the General said he would return to Sara-
gossa, and he immediately set out for this pur-
pose ; upon which the officer hastened to re-
turn there before General Riego, and ap-
prise the Chief of his intentions: He succeed-
ed in this object, and reached Saragossa at
break of day on the 2d of September. The
Political Chief began to take measures to hinder
his entrance ; he posted detachments in the roads
to the town ; the Garrison, the National Guard,
and the citizens, every one took up arms, and in
a moment the town was transformed into a city
in a state of siege. General Riego had with him
about a hutidred men, and it was known that he
returned with an escortof horse. Among other dis-
positions, it was. determined that a deputation
should advise him of {he danger his person would
be in, if he sought to enter the town, where
every one was against him, and to avoid a catas-
trophe of which the consequences would be fatal.
This deputation, which consisted of Gen. Torres,
Col. Carninero, and the Alcaede llagues, met
Riego at Puebla, and it was with difficulty they
prevailed upon him not to return to Saragossa,
but to depart to. Lerida: On his arrival at Pira
on the 3d of September the General addressed the
folio w J,0
•Proclamation, to the zarri son of Saragossa :
..

PROCLAMATION BY GENERAL

" Brave Soldiers and Patriots of the Army of A rtagun,- whofn
I hive had the honour to command for -eight months
myself deprived, in the most irregular manner, of the mili-
tary command of the proYincea proceeding doubtless insti-
gated by the most atrocious calumny—l have an unspeakable
pleasure ni giying you this public testimony:that I have always
found among you the strictest-discipline, joined with the purest
patriotismr:-.
" You know- the constitutional doctrine which I have endea-
voured to inculcate in your minds on the general parades, and
in the patriotic societies, and even in the church, where, through
the medium of your chaplains, I have caused the advantages
of our innliortal code to be explained to you.
" Read the dispatch, a copy of which I subjoin, and cOmpare
it with the ordnance you have doubtless already read, by which
I am dePrived of the command of this province.
[The dispatch referred to is from the Illithster of War, under
date the 231 of June, refusing Mega the pelrnission he had
asked to go abroad on the ground that his presence was neces-
sary in Spain, until the (!,-,nsdtutional system should be conso-
lidated, and all the rcfmrns completed,l
" Be comforted, my dear companions in arms, and be assured
that your fellow-countryman and General will never swerve from
the path which he has chalked oat for himself, and that his zeal
and -love for the Constitution will foe ever glow in his heart.
" Pira, Sept. 3. " RAFAEL DEL RIEGO."
The Deputation, after having succeeded in
keeping Riego away, returned to Saragossa,witere
tranquillity was already restored, ttnd which has
Continued up to the departure of the last letters
on the sth of September.
An infinite number of reports are in circulation
respecting the cause of the dism;ssal of General
•-_

Riego, and on the plot mentioned in the procla-
mations of the Political Chief. • The trial of the
persons arrested, which has begun;• will disclose
the truth. On the 4th of September; the eve of
the day on which the letters that have reached
Bayonne-were written, the'Political Chief pub-
lished the following proclamttiOn:—
" Inhabitants of Saragossa,—Language offensive to the per-
sdn of the Don kafael Riego, Camp-Marshall of the national
armies, has within these few days been reported to and par-
ticularly on the evening of the 2A. I have with pain observed
that some from ignorance,. and others from mil2volence, have
wished to make it be believed that the measure of the Govrn.

runt which deprives biiriof the tnilitary command of this pre-,
vince had some connexion _with the facts resPeeth-4- which
crintiool process is instituted in this capital.
-
« This is an error which might injure the reputation of
,the
General, -and I cannot and ought not to tolerate any pirsonS,
whatever may be their rank, .to ,decide in any manner against
the General, or to endeavour to pomade the credulous, that
the order of departure for Lerida was grounded on any crime.
The command of the troops of a province is an authority which
the Government confers pn whom it thinks fit, conformably to
article /71 of the Constitution, without any obligation to make
known the reasons of-the*Change ; afia according to the Consti-
tion the withdrawing of the commission of Commander, the
giving it to another, carries With it no idea of crime on the part
of the aflicer who is the object of such a Measure.
" According to this Constitutional principle, the decision of
the Government, in virtue of which-Don Rafael Riego ceases to
command in this province, in no way wounds either the dignity
or the reputation of that officer, since he preserves all the ranks,
honours, and re:camper:nes which.the nation has bestowed on him
for hi tii:iti:v.;uislied services.

" Liberty and order ! These are the two bases on which the
Editi,:o. of the Constitution rests. Liberty amidst disorder
would is ul us to anan!thy, and finally- to dpatistn.
every citizen to dictate nexlaws, or to decide as he 'might
please on the lives a-od properties of others, the GoVernment
and the Congress of our Representatives would be powerless, as
well as the Tribunals and all the Authorities that ,watch

over the security and tranquillity of Spanish citizens. Let
there be amongst us no divisions or parties. Those who dare
by injurious expressions to blacken the character of any person
befott the organ Of the law has pronounced its decision, or who
geek to disturb the tranuttillity of this pacific City, under the
pretext of ay.enging the lionout; of others, are equally enemies
of the Consitturlon and the Country, and as such shall be pur-
sued and punished according' td law.

" If the partisans of servitude hope to obtain some advantage
over the constitutional system by putting, forward as a pretext
certain rn,.,.f:.,..ares or dispositions of the tJovernment, they wil
End themssivzs mistaken. .Pe it known to them that such an

' illusion can only serve to accelerate their destruction and their
ruin. Would to God that the day may soon arrive when a', !'
Spaniards will have the same ideas and !••entiments. Llnt'-`
then all true patriots ought to be convinced that the authorities ~
will unceasingly pursue the partisans and the agents of the ser:, ,
vile faction—a thction which is most weak and contemptible, It
we remain united. • 1

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER, 19, 18c2.1..•

We have received the French Papers of Sari'
day, which still leave id doubt the question of
%Vat' or peace. In another column we have gist°
extracts on this subject, as well as an intereWg
account' of the late atternP.tsatSaragossit to tirinf
•i
about a revolution in Spain. Tvairi'd anpe'ars t°
be in a very agitated state ; the late disturbances
there-, which-led to the resignation of MoaILL°,

are said to have been foinented by the intrigues
of the Columbian agents and the American partY
in that capital, and to have been principally

rected against MoRILLQ, who has always shewn a
decided opposition to them, and is said to be

possession of documents which would rnateritalf
rnpede their views with respect to the AmeriLa

question.

however, we cannot trace to any authentic sourc',
that the Government are in possession of cortAll43.

Continent ; and in consequence of the favourable
acccounts of the Harvest, which now hold oat
hopes that the crops will be secured in a
better condition than was lately apprehended.

It is now certain that his MAJESTY Will. pr°-

ceed in a few days on his intended visit to hi'
.Hanoverian dominions. The Gazette of last
night announces the KING'S intention of going
out of the kingdom for a short time, and also the
appointment of Lords Justices, (as on similar
occasions in the . reigns of GEORGE 1. 3''d
GEORGE IL.), for the administration. of the Cc'''.
verornent
,during his MAJESTY'S absence. Thil
resolution to honour Hanover with the RoYal
presence, previous to his MAJESTY'S intended
visit to Scotland, will be productive of
much
disappointment to our fellow-subjects in North
Britain, who have been long anticipating the ap-
pearance of their KING amongst them with feel-
ings of anxious loyalty and dutiful affection-
The Scotch, however, may, with national pride
and satisfaction, rest assured that his MAJE“/".
does not give the priority to Hanover, from the
people of that kingdom having any oret.'rence
in his MAJESTY'S regard, over his faithful sul/-
jects in Scotland ; but that political motives have
had their due influence in determining his MA"
~ESTY's conduct.. The Scotch cannot fail to Per-
ceive, with their characteristic sagacity, that it
is impoSsible but that they must hold a hiiih
place in the affections of that I'vlos.traft, tn.:
