FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 29.) 1
BUCHAREST, SEPT. 7.—ln my last letter 1 was
not able to give you favourable accounts of the state
of affairs in the Princip.alities, and I acquainted 'you
with the incursions which the Turks had made into
them; but am now able to give you the assurance,
that every measure has been taken to keep, the Mus-
sulrnen for the future from the banks of the Danube.
General Geismar, reinforced by the corps of Prince
Scherbatoff, and supported by Count Langeron, is
now able not only to keep the garrison of Widdin in
check, but even to resume offnsive operations. Fresh
t .00ps are coming from the interior of Russia. Every
thing assumes an attitude SQ
imposing,that even in
c Ise the bad season should force the Russians to
suspend their operations, wach is
yet doubtful, so
considerable a mass of forces will be displayed next
spring that Europe will be astonished, and the-Otto-
man Porte will have no other alternative but to
submit to the will of the Emperor of all the Russias,
and• to concede not only satisfaction, but also the
guarantees required. If, with the use of ordinary
means, the Russian army, in the space of three
Months, has made itself master of ten fortresses and
a considerable quantity of artillery,
,if it has made
important conquests in Europe and in Asia, it is
beyond a doubt that the army, being reinforced, as
may easily he done in proportion to the colossal
power of Russia, the latter must infallibly gain the

.victory.
It is announced, indeed, that the Emperor Nicho-
las will return for some time to St. Petersburgh;
but the journey of that Monarch, if it really takes
place, cannot hinder the army from pursuing the
advantages which it has already gained. From the
p►eparations which are making here, it is easy to see
that the war is only just going to begin. The Porte
will then repent of having disregarded the pacific
voice of the Emperor Nicholas; of having refused
the hand which was held out to it, as well'as all the
proposals of the Powers, with such infatuation., that
it has forced the French Cabinet to prove to the
Divan, sword in hand, that the honour and the in-
terest of the European nations imperiously require
the maintenance of the stipulations that have been
demanded, and which, for the general good, have
been concerted between them.

PARIS, SEPT. 28.—The declaration of the three
Ambassadors assembled at Corfu, on the object of
the expedition of the French army, is expected in
a few days at Paris. It is thought- that our army
will return after having been present at the evacua-
tion of the Morea by Ibrahim Paella. The Journal
Cononerce spoke yesterday of the arrival of a son
of Lord Ileytesbury with despatches for the English
Ambassador. The eldest son of Lord I-Teytesbury
only 10 or 12 years of age. The Courici. Fran-
cais pretended yesterday that a personage had been
to the Morea to Gen. Guil}eminot with instructions.
No diplomatic personage has been sent to Corfu, but
the Instructions of which the Courier speaks are those
of the three Ambassadors.
The enemies of the Portuguese nation make a
great noise about the arrival in Europe of the Prin-
cess Donna Maria da Gloria; her voyage to Eng-
land, and the reception preparing for her, fill them
with joy. It even seems that the heroes of Oporto
recover their courage on seeing a Princess, ten years
of age, come to their aid ; but a short time will suf-
fice to put an end to the rejoicings of the one, to
ccol the courage of the others. In fact, the arrival
of the Princess in Europe, and her reception in
England as Queen, change nothing in the situation
of Don Miguel. The Powers had already recog-
nised this Princess as Queen, and had refused to re-
cognise Don Miguel as King.
To make her position any better, it would be ne-
cossaty for France or England to employ the force
of arms to put her in possession of her kingdom,
which they will not do. It is therefore only in con-
sequence of an accommodation made with "Don
Miguel, that she can ascend the Throne of Portugal.
It is doubtless to negoeiate such an accommodation
that Lord Strangford is gone to Rio de Janeiro.. It
is affirmed that Don Miguel. is much inclined to
marry Donna Maria. If this is true we think that
he has taken the surest way to. extinguish: -all the
of his enemies. Them will, perhaps,- be'
-.7ome little difficulties resulting from the pretensions
,o)f the parties interested, but doubtless the interven-
tion of the British Government will remove them,
and Royalty and Religion in Portugal will at length
be secure against every attack of their enemies, whe-
ther open or concealed.

PARIS, SEPT. 27.—A Journal announces to-day
the a son of Lord Heytesbury has arrived from the
head-quarters of the Russian army, and that he was
the bearer of important news. We have but a word
to answer :—Lard Heytesbury has no son, and no
person has arrived from the bead-quarters.
The rupture between the Regency of Tripoli and
the kingdom of the Two Sicilies has already proved
injurious to the mercantile navy of the latter, power.
if we may believe letters from Messina, of the 6th
September, and from Palermo, of the 18th, 81
Tripolitan .corsairs have put to sea, and have cap-
tured two or three Neapolitan vessels laden with,

VIENNA, SEPT. IB.—(Private Correspondence.)
—The present situation of this city lead us to ob-
ervations very different from those made by the
Austrian Observer. Things are very different here
from elsewhere : for instance, it is supposed they
possess here the most complete veneration for Met-
ternich, and hold as gospel the articles Which he
dictates to Genty and Pilat : quite the contrary—
tTOrn my intimacy with several distinguished fami-
lies, I do not hesitate to say, that an opposition,
,ecret, but violent, is existing here against that Mi-
nister. As long as the Emperor Francis shall live
he will be respected, and, consequently, his Mini-
tter will, to a certain extent, be supported; but
utter his death Metternich's reign will not endure
for a day. The successor to the throne is no friend
of the Ministers ; and thoughe latter,
w since the
decline of the Emperor's health, fias changed his
tone towards the son, I do not believe that the good
will is returned. Hio uncle will likewiie assist in
him independent, for they'have grave
rendering
causes of complaint against we
may therefore before long look IVletternich, and.
for an entire change
in the Austrian policy.
But the thing which surprises me most Is the en.
t;,.,Atened state of the superior ranks of society here.
A person of high station remarked to me only two
days ago, " Instead of declaiming against the use
of Greece, and thus, as it were, m rkangus.for theh
patronsm of all that is base and detestable, etternie
ought to have done all that he could to encourage
the exertions of that State, by which a new empire
in the East would have been brought to light,
ftllia:
mio-ht have been the means of remedying our a
position with respect to Russia. Greece,
by Austria, would give us in Europe a regenera.ted
preporlaer-
ance, which at present we have so madly lost."
This language, in the mouth Of a Magnate of Hun-
gary, is worthy of remark ; and it k pleasant to
observe, that in spite of his police and his Austrian
Observer, Metternich cannot produce entire darkness.
The Austrian Cabinet begin to have a secret pre-
-,.entlment. that its idleness, or as Metternich calls it,
its stability, may tend to place Austria entirely in
the back ground : it is with this impression that the
Minister has ordered the concentration- of -some of
the troops in Hungary and in Gallicia; bathe thinks
to disguise these movements by:: those of the camp
of Traiskirchen, near Vienna. When he is asked
what the march of this regiment or. of that portends;
his answer is, that it is quite by mistake that that
troop was put under marching orders, These
_
sub-
terfuges, however, mark somcwhat of nperan-
mated diploinacy.
With respect to Russia, this Minister kith
many of their troops as he pleases, and pnldisheiall
sorts of mishaps on their account.. • It is at the
change of Vienna Metternich delivers his battle, and
always with immense loss to the Russian army.
You can form no idea of the quantity of cannon and

corn.

LISBON, SEPT. I B.—( Private Correspondence.)—
The two agents whom Don Miguel has sent to
Rome to solicit the annulling of the affiance .cele-
brated at Vienna-with Donna Maria H., his niece,
quitted hence three days ago; their mission is founded
on the vote of the Msembly of the three orders, to
the effect that-- the 41ccesSion to the throne ought
speedily to be settled. The infant has declared on
this head, in the presence of his whole Court, that he
would rather be cut in pieces than marry his 'niece.
TOULON, SEPT. 22. Yesterday the liorca quitted
our road with a cargo of provisions for the vessels on
station.

The English steam-vessel, the Ai &miry, on board
of which were Lord Cochrane and }his neplif..7; has
also quitted for Smyrna.--- •
9o.the day-of Colonel Fabvier's departure from
Y.gina he was accompanied by all-the military chiefs.
His noble conduct- has gained•him the affections of
all. Every day he evinced-fresh instances of his
moderation, disinterestedness,' . and kindness. The
name of Fabvier had become it talisman, which •elec-
trifled them, and rendered them capable of acting the
most. heroically.

There are a Turkish vessel of the line, three laige
frigates, and several corvettes and brigs, in the roads
of Navarin.

On the 2d September the Egyptian vessels en-
tered Nayarit). Ibrahim was absent.

The loading of the transports is still continued. in
our port; but no further troops have `arrived,- and
we know of .nothing that lends us to believe that a
new expedition is • in agitation.. Nevertheless, all
the regiments in garrison have received orders to
hold themselves in readiness. . •

warm against • the Catholics of Ireland. What is
remarkable is, thatitinsinuates-that the Prime Mi-
nister has not yielded to.a personal opinion in allow-
ing the Act for the abrogation of the Test Oath to

Duke of Newcastle to Lord, Kenyon, which is a-
genuine manifesto of the Protestant Ascendancy.
against the Catholics. His Grace declares, in the
most energetic terms, that the English Government
takes no lead. in this question, but waits for the na-
tion to make a beginning. He wishes that all who
are true -Protestants in England should instantly
rise to support the Crown; in taking away from the
-Catholics all those privileges which they haVe oh-
tallied by successive concessions, and to destroy
every thing in the British Empire that goes by the
name of Convent, Jesuit, or Monk, of whatsoever-
kind it may be. fie declares that England is in the ,
greatest danger, if decisive measures are not in-
stantly taken ; from all which we may learn that the
English Government is not yet free from the em-
barrassments of the Catholic Question.

PARIS, SEPT. 28.---We find in L' Anti de la Re-
ligion et du Roi the following article :—Different re-
ports have been in circulation as to an answer rela-
tive to the memory of the Bishops. The Pope has
not improved the representations of the Bishops,
but a letter of the Cardinal Secretary of State states
that his Holiness; without an express decision as to
tile foundation of the affair, considers that the
Bishops may refer to the known piety of the King.
It is seid that the Prelates at Paris have assembled
to deliberate on this despatch, and that the unani-
mous opinion has been to defer it. The conduct of
the Bishops, tinder these circumstances, appears
worthy of their zeal and their wisdom. They insist
on the defence of their rights, and they can yield
themselves to the suggestions which the rigours of
the times and the voice of authority demand.—
Thus
they sufficiently -prove that no spirit of oppo-
sition has guided their proceeding,s, and they ac-
quire new claims to the esteem and gratitude of the
faithful. In fine,-'a just subject of joy is the fact
that the minor seminaries are sacred from a de- '
struction which appeared inconvenient, and wilich
would have been a calamity to all the dioceses, and
a subject of triumph fo the enemies of religion.
We consider as authentic the news we have just
rend; and feel: a •'.lis'•elY satisfaction -in repeating it:
'lf is well- known•thdt in the -Ordinance of the 16th
`of .there'svac nothing contrary to. the legitimate
rights of episcopacy,' and which no one will accuse
the Holy See-of having compromised by an impru-
&tent and precipitate decision. We may at present
judge what reliance we can place on the mad decla-
mations of those Missionaries without mission, who
exclaimed perpetually that religion was about to be
subverted, and who had founded guilty hopes on the
simplicity—perhaps the little enlightened zeal of
their readers. Thus our presages have been realis-
ed—thus our doctrines and those of all the-defenders
of the rights of the Throne, and the fundamental
law, are confirmed.

Letters from Marseilles, of the .21st September,
state " that two brigs of war, arrived at Toulon,
have brought letters from the Morea, dated 3d Sept.
written by the Captains of the transport vessels to
their- owners. There are some of them who sup-
pose they will have to remain five months longer in
the service of the State, anti require provisions to be
sent them, the country not being in a state to fur-
nish the necessary supplies for the sea service. The
supplies for the army may be procured, but at high
prices.

" The marine continues its purchases of salt provi-
sions and biscuit. They continue to embark sup-
plies for the artillery encampment, and hospital.
" The third expedition consisting of the brigades
of General Schneider, which set out from Toulon
on the 2d of September, was met on the 11th, off
Sicily, with a favourable wind." •
