FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Etoile, dated Thursday, June 22.)

PARIS, JUNE 20.

Letters from Vienna, of June 12th, say that the Emperor and
Empress were to set out on the 18th on an excursion to Lambach
to meet the King of Bavaria on his return from Italy. It is
thought that their Majesties will then return to Luxemburg. The
Archduke Maximilian is gone to the Buckowina.
Letters from Bucharest, of May 30, say, that the Russian Mail
which was to leave Constantinople on the 22d, had not arrived,
and that no news had been received from that capital. According
to all appearance, the departure of the Turkish Commissioners
must have been retarded, as they had not yet arrived at Bucharest.
On the otker band, Letters faom Odessa, of June 3, say, that,
according to news from Constantinople (of which the date is not
given), the Turkish Commissioners had not yet set out ; which
news, published by the Trieste Observer, states that Ibrahim
Pacha had made himself master of Calavrite, where 6,000
Greeks, including women and children, had perished. The Civil
Government of Napoli di Romania had been placed in the hands
of four primates,- and Colocotroni had taken the military com-
mand. M. Bellart has been for the last forty-eight hours in very
great danger.
The western position of Piedmont, contiguous to France, con-
tains a little country of four villages, dependant on the Bishopric
of Pignerol. The most considerable of these villages, that of St.
Martin, is almost entirely inhabited by Vaudois, who took refuge
there about the end of the 15th century. The Bishops of Pigne-
rol have neglected nothing to enlighten these people. Mr. Bi-
gex addressed a paternal letter to them. M. Rey, his successor,
shows no less good intentions for the conversion of the Vaudois.
A great number of them go to hear the prelate when he preaches
in the churches, and many of them have been touched by his mild.
ness and piety. Three Vaudois abjured their errors before tie
Bishop on the 19th of March last. Another remarkable conver-
sion is that of Jean Daniel Tourn, a young Vaudois, son or the
Syndic, or Mayor, of the mixed parish of Rosa. His atriaration
took place on Easter Sunday after vespers, in the Catledral, in
the presence of Messrs. Monteriel and Billet, Bishop, of Mous-
tiers and of Maurienne, whs were at Pignerol.
The assemblage of the faithful was very considerable. The
Bishop of Pignerol, with his two colleagues, and all his clergy,
received the adjuration of young Tourn, wh.) appeared with an
affecting look of modesty and Piety. Some lays afterwards, the
young man developed to his father the grounds of his conversion,
in a letter dated the sth April, which has jot been printed. The
young man speaks to his father with mud candour and energy;
he relates the history of his conversion, .so as to show that it is
.the result of profound conviction. This letter besides informs us,
that M. Tourn, sen., by virtue of thiePotestant tolerance, will
not see his son, and has written to him sever to appear again in
the paternal dwelling. We shall recur to this letter, which is
honourable to religion and to Mr. J. D. Tourn.
On Friday, the 18th, the Abbe Meurice was violently struck
several times on the Pont Royal, at eight in the evening, in broad
day light; and, we are ashamed to soy, no citizen attempted to
arrest the wretch who insulted this venerable priest. Was Abbe
Meurice a Missionary--a Jesuit? No :he is merely the Vicar
of the parish of St. Sulpice, who is known only by his good
works and his virtues. had just been comforting and assisting
a sick person, in the parish of St. Roch, to whom he had been
summoned, and this is the reward for the worthy Ministers of the
Gospel.
In the list of persons who havecrossed the channel, we find the
Marquess de Bassano, the Marquess d'Harcourt, Peer of France,
and General Sebastiani, going to England ; and coming to France,
Sir F. Burdett and the Viscount de Larochefoucault.; and 592
passengers have arrived at Calais, and 362 left it.
