FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Bette de France, May.2o.)
Th.:CAA-REST, APRIL 26.—Our situation is still the
same. We hear from the frontiers of Russia 2 that
the Emperor is expected at Ismbil, on the 12th May,
and that all the preparations indicate a very exten-
sive plan of operations, both by sea and land, against
Constatitinople.
The force of the army which is going to march
against Turkey is estimated at 300,000 men, of
whom 60,000 are cavalry. All the accounts, as well
as those which our Hospodar has received, agree oft
fixing the 7th of May as the day when the passage
of the Pruth will be effected.

The letters from the other side of the tanube
say, that the Turks, whose whole forte on that river
is at the most 40,000 men, ar concentrating them-
sel•yes, but are otherwise tranquil, which has dithi►
dished the chances of a nocturnal surrtist of our
city ; yet our fears are "net the les; and emigration
has increased to such a degree, that the Hospodar
begins to refuse passports. All the horses that could
be met with have been engaged in case of flight,
and large sums are now offered for the purchase of
these animals. We have news free Constantinople
to the 21st ; they do not announce any change
.in
that capital.

BERLIN, MAY 6.---The letters from St, Peters-
burgh, dated 24th April, affirm that preparations,
both in the army of Bessarabia 2nd in that of Gen.
Paskewitsch, for the eampagn which is going to be
commenced against the Porte, are so considerable,
that the 'history of Russia does not afford an ex-
ample of such a display of force, even iri the war
against France. Front these same letters it seems
beyond a doubt that, after the occupation of the
Principalities, the army will pass the Danube at se%
veral points, and that Gem Paskewitsch will sup-
port the operations by advancing towards Erzerum.
People are very attentive to the proceedings
which may result from the farther abode of M. de
lianitz at Constantinople; they ask whether he
will remain there during the war, or whether he will
'accompany the Sultan if he should go to the army
—Whether in the poasible case of the occupation
of Constantinople by the Russians, which would i
cause the Sultan to quit his capital, M. de Kanita
would still be accredited to him, or whether he would
be recalled ? Some movement begins to be observed
in our army for the camp, the formation of which
was ordered some time ago.
ANCONA, MAY I.—A vessel of the Greek Goy
veniment arrived here yesterday, which brings at'
vounts from Napoli di Romania, dated April 26.
They state that Count Capo d'lstria had returned
to Napoli di Romania, from his visit to Corinth.
He had placed a corps from the islands in garrison
there, instead of the Rumelicts, whom he had sent
to join the corps of Ypsilanti at Eleusis; and he or-
dered the troops that have returned from Scio to go
and join the corps whiclt is to blockade Patras and
Missolonghi. Redsc,nid Paella was at Prevesa, pre-
paring to march. with 20,000 Albanians to relieve
Missolonghi, which was closely invested by the
Greeks. The Captain of the vessel had learned on
the way, that Anatolico had fallen into the hands of
the Greeks, who had likewise made themselves
masters of the lagoons of Missolonghi.
Some vesselswhieh have sailed from Zante with

provisions for Navarin have succeeded in getting
Into the port during the night, but the greater num-
ber have been sent back by the ships of the Allied
Powers, which blockade it. The same has hap-
pened to an Egyptian frigate sent front Alexandria
by the Pacha, with provisions and money.—Augs-
br4rgh Gazette.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
..sirritic OF lIIONOAY, 19.
From the Message? des Chambres of TueAsy• )
. _

The Report of the Com►nittee appointed to exa-
mine the Report relative to the Press, having been
brought up by M. de Sesny, the Minister proceeded
to the Order of the Day, which was the debate on
the lean of eighty millions.
The President having read the five Articles of the
Project of Law to the effect—" The Minister of
Fin:►nce is authori.ed to inscribe in the Great Book
to the amount of four ►pillions of renter, at five per
cent., with the arrears koni 22d March, 1828, the

produce of which shall be applied to the extraordi-
nary expencts which may be authorised in 1828, in
the form prescribed by Art. 152 of the Law of
iLith March, 1827."

M. Ch. Dupin moved an amendment, the pur-
port of which was, to divide the credit asked for
into two parts :
" The first to comprehend the sums judged neces-
Ility for the immediate armaments;
" The second, the expenses rendered necessary by
an increase of the peace establishment, either of the
-army or the navy.
"The Minister of Finance is 'authorised to in-
scribe in the Great Book of the Public Debt, an
Amount in Rentes representing a Capital of Thirty
Millions of Francs, in the mode in which the Minis-
ter shall judge the most advantageous."
The Minister of Finance said—l will offer some
short observations, which I hope will be satisfactory.
The policy of France is easily understood. The
King desires the maintenance of order, and of all
le;;.timate rights—the triumph of the rights of hu-
Inanits% A policy so glorious, so honourable, is not
difticult to judge of. It is not the war establishment
whiclt we ask ; we ask y©n to place us on a respect-
able peace establishment, that we may not, in any
ease, be surprised by events. The preceding speaker
would have yen grunt thirty milioas instead of
eighty. He would also have us spcify our wants,
and say we intend to supply such and such a sum.
In asking you for money, we do not pedge ourselves
to spend it ; but if we do spend it, we pledge our-
selves to spend it in a manner advantageous to the in-
terests of the country, its security, asd its glory.
}laving borne testimony to the perfect order in which
his predecessor had left the Departn.ent of the
Marine, the Minister shelved, that in consequence
of the additions to the Navy by the building of new
ships, and the necessity of still continuing to build
others, there was a debt of twelve millions for build-
ing materials, eight millions were required fur wants
that may arise, five or six millions to make the per-
.lw)mel of the Marine conformable to the materiel;
so that of the thirty millions little would remain for
contingencies. I repeat (said- he), we do not en-
gage to spend the sums which we ask for, but to
be always ready for the events that may occur.
France should always be able to take part in those
;AfFairs which interest its dignity. We can also pro-
raise to act at all times with sincerity and good
faith. We ask your confidence, Gentlemen, be-
cause we deserve it; we are honest men.—(Appro-
bation.)—lt is often asked, what is the colour of
the Ministry ? (Silence, silence, attention !) The
colour of the Ministry, Gentlemen, will always be the
white. (Bravo !) Its path will always be the legal
path, and we shall be happy to meet in it men of
good faith, sincerely attached to our Institutions.
—( Prolonged bravos.)
M. de Laborde, though maay reasons might autho-
tiJe him to refuse his assent to the vote demanded,
was induced to grant it by considerations of a higher
order. The deputy of France, said, he is attached
to it, as well as the happiness of a whole nation, of
which we shall perhaps soon be the only protectors.
Gentlemen, a King of France with Frenchmen gave
liberty to the New World; a King of France asks
Frenchmen to restore liberty to a nation of the Old
World.
After some further debate, M. Dupin's Amend-
ment was rejected on a division, only M. Dupin
himself and M. Demarcay voted for it.
The second part of the 3d Article being proposed,
'l%l. Lafitte proposed as an Amendment—" A credit
of SO millions is opened for the Minister of Finance,
and shall be used in bons of the Treasury."
I,he Minister of Finance replied at great length
of the arguments of the mover of the Amendment;
but the Chamber adjourned the debate till to-
morrow.

LISBON GAZErTts.

" LIsItON, APRIL 29.—Department of Eccle-
siastical Affairs and Justice,

As it may happen that in the enthusiasm which
displays Itself in this capital the public tranquillity
may be disturbed, by some attacks and particular in-
sults, which, being always a crime, cannot by any
means be excused, the Infante Regent, in the name
of the King, has resolved that you, Sir, are to em-
ploy the most efficacious means, that such attacks
and insults may not take place; as they would cer-
tainly much displease his Highness, who, in the
present cireumstaaces cannot but consider them as
a want of respect to his person.

" As it may happen that in the enthusiasm which
displays itself in the whole kingdom, the public
tranquillity may be in some measure disturbed, espe-
cially by means of attacks and particular insults,
which in all circumstances are a crime which must
appear surprising under a Government like that of
the Infante Regent, in the name of the King, which
is so vigilant for the preservation of order; his
Highness has- determined that you and the other
Magistrates of that district, to whom you will trans-
mit his determination, shall, with that prudence
and moderation which should always accompany the
exercise of the magisterial office, employ all the
means in your power that the public tranquillity
may not be disturbed in your respective districts ;
above all, taking care to acquaint the inhabitants
that the contrary will be very displeasing to his
Highness.

APRIL 30.—Wehasten to announce to our readers
the events which took place at Coimbra, on the 25th
of this month) referring to our private correspon-
dence :

" This day was appointed for a festivity, originat.
ing with the students in the Cathedral of this City,
to render thanks for the return of his Highness Don
Miguel. Ail the Ecclesiastical, Civil, and Military
Authorities, as well as the Chief Nobility of this
City► who had been invited to attend, being assem-
bled
at Mass, the Mayor, with a multitude of Stu-
dents and Members of the inhabitants proceeded, at
two o'clock in the afternoon, to the square of Feira
and uttered loud acclamations to Don Miguel the
First absolute King of Portugal.'
" The troops stationed there to preserve order did
not make any opposition, and no disorder whatever
took place.
" The Juiz de Povo then went to the Juiz de
Fora, President of the Chamber, who was present,
to propose to him to assent to the wishes of the
people, who full of the greatest content and enthu-
siasm, demanded the Proclamation of Don Miguel.
At the same time many other Students went to the
other Authorities, requesting them that, seeing that
the clergy, nobility, and people were there assembled,
the Act of the Proclamation might be drawn up to
be sent to Lisbon.

" All immediately agreed, being animated with
the greatest joy, and a table was placed at the door
of the church where the act was signed by the
Bishop of Conde, Vice-Rector of the University,
the Civil Magistrates, and many other persons who
were present.
" In the night there was a spontaneous illumina-
tion of the whole city, and a great many students and
numbers of the people went about singing the Portu-
guese Hymn in the streets, and crying Long live
his Majesty Don Miguel the First, Absolute King
of Portugal, the Empress Queen, and the Royalists
" 'The troops patrolled all parts of the city, and a
Ipiquet of cavalry was constantly in motion, so that
no disorder occurred. _

" To-day the ringing of the bells continues, and
there is a holiday at the University."
Accounts from Coimbra, of the 26th of this
month, announce that the 25th Don Niguel, the
Absolute King, was proclaimed at Aveiro, with
the greatest solemnity, and amidst the rejoicings of
all the inhabitants.
On the 25th of this month the British troops
began to leave the Fort St. Julian. There are 110
English troops in the Tower St. Lorenzo.
MAY I.—The Gazette of this date contains a very
long article, the object of which is to show, by re-
ferences to the Portuguese history, that the three
States of the Kingdom, convoked by the sovereign
authority, and assembled in the Cortes, are alone
competent, legally, to proclaim the Kings of Por-
tugal ; that applying these laws and facts to the
present crisis, in which the Portuguese nation una-
nimously expresses its wishes, it is evident that this
public expression of the desire of the majority of
the third estate decides nothing, much less can an
individual such as the Editor of the Trombeta, who
in No. 62, without any authority, impudently and
audaciously inserted his ideas on this subject. It is
evident, from the proceedings of the municipalities,
and the public declarations of almost all the principal
towns of the kingdom, that the general wish is to
have a national King, and not one who is a foreigner
either by birth or election. But this general wish is
not legal, and is therefore insufficient; nor can the
rights of legitimacy be established, nor the order of
the succession of the crown of this kingdom be fixed
in this manner. The proceeding which we see at
the present moment, cannot and ought not to pre-
cede that which must be executed legally,and which
now becomes indispensable. The municipalities, as
the representative of their respective towns, ought
each of them to send a dutiful address to the throne,
in which, sliming the state of effervescence in
which the nation new is on so sacred a subject, they
request his Highness to be pleased, conformably to
the fundamental laws of the monarchy, to convoke
a Cortes of the Three Estates of the Kingdom.—
Lisben Gazette, May 4.
LISBON, MAY 6.—The official part of the Gazette
contains two Decrees issued by the Infante Regent,
in the name of the King. The first appointing Jose
Bernardo Henriques de Faria to the post of Adjunct
of the Intendant-General of the Police; and the
second, appointing Francisco Pinto Coelho de Cas-
tro to the office of Adjunct of the Intendant General
of the Police.

MAY 7.—The official part of the Gazettc contains
the resolution of the Prince Regent, conferring on his
Surgeon, Antonio Bartholomew Pieres, who accom-
panied his Royal Highness on his travels, the title of
Baron of Queluz.
This and the two preceding are dated 25th April.

" Department of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice.
" The Infante Regent commands me to transmit
to you the inclosed copy of the Decree of the :id
instant, by which he has been pleased to convoke
the three estates of the nation according to the form
of the ancient and fundamental laws of the Monarchy,

so greatly discredited us.
