FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 18.)
PARIS, SEPT. 17.—The liberal Journals talk a
great deal of the inactivity of the Administration
of the Duke of Wellington,
It is to be observed, that without drawing the
sword, and without spending a penny, English diplo-
macy has obtained of Ibrahim Paella the evacuation
of the Morea.
The Augsbargk Gazette announces the expedition
of the English to the Isle of Candia.
The Constitutionnet says, that it foresaw it in its
utunber of the day before yesterday. This news is
without any foundation.
The Moniteur of this day contains a Report of
the King, from the Minister of Marine, on the or-
ganization of the Privy Councils of the Colonies,
and of the mode of proceeding before those Councils.
This Report is succeded by an Ordinance in five
chapters and 214 articles, relative to this subject.
It is not doubted that the Emperor of Russia will
confirm the favourable sentence passed by the Tri-
bunal in the affair of the conspirators in Poland, who
are besides recommended by the Grand Duke Con-
stantine.
The Morning Ministerial Paper, the Debats, stated
yesterday that an express despatched from Odessa,
by M. de Montemart, had arrived the night before
last, bringing news unfavourable to the Russians.
The Evening Ministerial Journal publishes the fol-
lowing article :
" According to the last accounts from Odessa, of
August 28, received by express, and which we have
published, we can affirm that nothing of a more re-
cent date has arrived at Paris. The last letters given
in the German Journals are only of the 25th."
(From the Messager des Chambres, Sept. 17.)

PARIS, SEPT. 16.—The Austrian Observer of
September, gives the following news from the lonian
Islands :
" After a long interruption we have at length re-
ceived a Mail from Corfu, containing all the letters
from the 9th to the 21st of August.
According to these dispatches, the conferences
between the Plenipotentiaries of the three Allied
Powers were resumed on the 10th of August. The
first took place on that day, at the residence of his
Excellency Count Guilleminot, the Minister of
France; the second on the 11th, at the Hotel of
Stratford Canning; and the third on the 13th, at
the residence of the Marquess de Ribeaupierre. The
conferences have been continued in the same order.
Nothing has yet transpired respecting the proceed-
ings. The report is confirmed, that in a little time
the Plenipotentiaries will go and reside fur a time in
Greece, in order to be nearer to the Government of
the country, which is the object of their mission,
and of the solicitude of the Allied Sovereigns. As
they cannot reside either at Poros or' Egina, on ac-
count of the diseases that still prevail there, the
island of Spezzia has been chosen for the conferences.
Some persons, however, pretend that the Ministers
will not leave the ships of their respective nations,
which convey them, and will go alternately from one
to the other; that they will also employ all the usual
precautions, not to be subject to quarantine on their
return to Corfu, which will be as soon as possible.
(From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.)

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)

CONSTANTINoPLE, AUG. I.s.—The Teirkish army
which had left Stamboul by divisions, preceded and
followed by all the trades, amongst which there were
no longer seen the ensigns of the 'different ortas of
the janissaries, exhibited a visible discontent. The
Grand Vizier; meanwhile, arrived at Daud Pasha,
accompanied by a crowd of dervishes, who shouted
the name of. Allah while waving the banners; but
on the, very next night one-fourth of these soldiers
returned privately to the capital. On the follow-
ing day a still greater number dispersed, to such
extent, that the environs of the city were
infested by robbers, who plundered and despoiled
both houses and persons, net excepting even the mes-
sengers of theDi van, who were obligedto have escorts,
although the distance from the Seven Towers to the
camp of the Vizier does not much exceed three miles.
The police bad doubled its posts in several quarters
of the town during the night of the 7th, and several
combitstade preparations were discovered, which were
designed for setting lire to the bazaars. The Janis-

saries were of course accused; and as they are sus-
pected of being connected with the ulemas, there
have been arrests, and those who had any thing
which could be confiscated have been strangled.
Since the 11th his Highness holds frequent re-
views, council upon council, and shows the boldest
front. The last bulletins published by his order an-
nounce that, by his invincible arms, he had annihi-
lated more than 30,000 Russians, arid that the Kraie
of Russia has fled to Codja Bay (Odessa) Never-
the less, it is known that the Divan dreads a disem-
barkation even at the entrance of the Bosphorus,
which may be supported by the Russian fleet from
Sebastopol, and people go se far as to say that this
event may take place before the equinox.

.The-- European Legations now at Pera can no
longer send off their own couriers, as they are
almost all obliged to carry on their correspondence
through the pr►vileged post of Vienna. This is just
as much as to send their despatches direct to the
Sultan, for every thing is unsealed, and except let-
ters in cypher, of which faithful copies are kept,
nothing escapes the Turco-Austrian inquisition.
The news of the French expedition to the Niorea
his set the Divan in a fury; they compare the inva-
sion to that of Egypt in 1798. There does, how-
ever, some difference exist, for the treaty of the 6th
July has been officially announced to the Divan.

The Porte insists that the successes of the Rus-
sians in Asia Minor have not been so important as
they announce ; the Ministers speak of the march of
the troops from a great part of Anatolia against Ge-
neral Paskewitch, who will meet with an insur-
mountable resistance at Erzerum.

The disturbances in Bosnia, according to the
Turks, begin to settle, and all Roumelia is ready to
oppose both the French and Russians. The Eng-
lish are favourably spoken of, as they continue
always to regard them as allies; we even believe
that they have one or more secret agents established
at Constantinople, and that a great personage will
speedily show h'rnself in an official character at
Pera. This assertion is made on good foundation.
All the foreigners and vagabonds who can be
seized are tent to Adrianople,. Sclavonians, Zan-
dotes, &c., all are lawful prizes. The Jews of the
quarter of Galata are only excused from angari (con-
scriptions) through bribery, and even the length of
the Gypsies of the Balkan, every one hai been sub-
jected to military requisitions. It is to be expected
that they w:11 very soon make us Franks work at
the fortifications of Constantinople. The bishops,
monks, and priests, both Greek and Armenian, are
compelled to pray and pay for the success of his
Highness. The Grand Vizier appears determined
to prolong his stay at Daud Paella, in order to pro-
tect the capital against any attack directed against
it. Convoys of provisions al-live every day from the
Asiatic provinces, and even from Egypt.
THE FRENCH EXPEDITION INTO GREECE.
PARIS, SEPT. 17.—The French expedition into
Greece is, after the battle of Navarin, the most direct
consequence of the Gth .July. England did not wish
to concur in this expedition ; we are assured that she
endeavoured to turn the French Government from
it, which is very easy to be explained. War can no
longer be what it has hitherto been—a means of
distraction to its famished' people. In the midst of
peace and abundance the last etiorts of its credit are
scarcely capable of supporting 'the enormous
Frei; ht
of its debt. Ireland, more and more threatening,
may require the presence of the English army be-
yond St. George's Channel. The Britannic domi-
nion in Hindostan absorbs in expence of occupation
more than it produces by the contributions of the
people, and the rapine of conquest ; and the specula-
tions. in the mines in the New World have hitherto
had results which prove that, with respect to distant
and hazardous operations, the calculators of London
have been no less liable to error than these of other

LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1828.

The last French Journals announce little or no
intelligence worth mention respecting Shumla
and the seat of war. The Gazette de France,
however, of Thursday, observes that « without
drawing the sword, and without spending a
penny, English diplomacy has obtained of

IBRAIIIM PACIIA the evacuation of the Morea."
This, we suspect, is an insidious, and under the
circumstances, an equivocal compliment. The
Constitutiwincl, in an extract which it professes
to give of a private letter from Constantinople,
dated Aug. 15, draws a highly-coloured picture
of the disorganized condition of that capital.
The Turkish army, it seems, was in a state of
very complete insubordination ; " Brigands were
pillaging even the messengers of the Divan, and
incendiaries were appointed to set fire to the
Bazaar." Of this statement, unsupported as it
is by probability, and at variance with the known
character of the SULTAN, We do not believe
one word. He is master, at least, in his capital,
whatever he may be abroad ; judicious also, and
penetrating in his enquiries ; and as insurrection
to any extent is not the work of a day, it is
scarcely possible that these discontents could have
ripened under the very walls of his Seraglio,
without his having some little knowledge of the
facts. The extract, we repeat, is most likely a
fabrication. Tho itleseasci- floe CAambico
directly contradicts the report, that a Courier
had arrived from Odessa with news adverse to
the Russians.

Accounts from Paris state that M. MAN-
DEVILLE, Consul-General from France to
Buenos Ayres, was on board the division of
Admiral Count ROUSSIN, which has arrived at
Rio Janeiro. M. MANDEVILLE, on Ids arrival,
went on board the frigate Surveillante, which
is one of the squadron stationed at the Brazils,
and sailed without delay for the River Plate ; it
is hopod that his efforts, with that of GRABRIAC,
as well as the interference of the British Envoy
at Buenos Ayres, will bring about a peace be-
tween Buenos Ayres and Brazil.

Accounts have been received from Frankfort
of the 14th inst., which bring the Metalliques
from that city at 96i. An account also had been
received from Berlin that the Turks had adhered
to the Treaty of the 6th of July. No doubt the
arrival of the EMPEROR at the Russian Head
Quarters will be the signal for active operations,
