FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, May 22.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 25.—The Festival of
the Bairam has been celebrated in the greatest tran-
quillity; the Sultan made his entry into the
Seraglio, accompanied by all the great men and the
regular troops. The inhabitants of the Seraglio
do not appear to be at all uneasy about political
events,' or to fear the entrance of the Russians any
more than a simple insurrection of the Greeks.
Their confidence, it is true, is founded on the notion
that the Russians will only occupy the Principalities,
and that they would be afraid, if they advanced any
further, of some collision with the other Powers of
Europe.
All the Russian sul-ejects had left the capital some
days ago. The Seraskier Pacha has given to the
Sultan a grand dinner, and since then a fete to the
regular troops, the expencc of which is estimated at
600,000 piastres.
The certainty of the approaching entrance of the
Russians has put every thing in motion, and given
occasion to marches of troops, and to repeated and
rigorous orders from the Sultan, for a general arming
of the people. According to the orders that have
been given, 30,000 men arc to assemble at Bud-
schuk, 8,000 at Adrianople, and the principal, of
100,000 men, at Constantinople; but the effective
force of this last is not above 23,000 men, whence
we may infer that the others do not amount to snore
than a fourth of their nominal force.

The Porte appears to have received some un-
pleasant news from Servia. It has sent for the De-
puties of that country, and signified to them that
the Servians were to deliver up their arms to the
Pecha of Belgrade, because it could not, under the
present circumstances, see with indifference a nation
in arms which is subject to it, and whose inclinations
are doubtful. The Servian Deputies and Prince
Miiosch are responsible for this order, but they
have at the same time received a promise that the
Porte will not send any troops into their country.
The Government has just thrown new obstacles in
the way of the corn trade in the Black Sea. Eight
Captains of Austrian vessels have been obliged to
deliver into the Government warehouses their car-
goes at a loss of 30 per cent. The remonstrances
of M. d'Ottenfels on this subject have been fruitless.

The Porte has concluded with the United States
of America a convention, granting to their ships
the Channel, but not into the Black Sea, 'Am pay-
ment of a duty of 5 per cent. on the value of their
cargo. Several vessels of that nation have, accord-
ingly, entered in the course of the week under their
own flag. • •
111.-ae 'Mintz has sailed for Leghorn.
_ _

The Admirals of the allied squadrons have re-
fused the application made to them by the Porte,
to assist, with their mediation, the commission of
Greek Bishops, whom it has sent to persuade the
Greeks to submit. It is affirmed that Admiral de
Rigny replied that they had no power to accede to
the wish of the Porte, to which he could give no
other advice thap to adhere as. soon as possible
to the terms of the Treaty of, the 6th July, and to
accept the mediation of the Powers. That this
was the only means of salvation which it had left
in its critical situation ; and that every day which
it should delay in complying with this salutary ad-
vice, could only add to the amount of the sacrifices
which would be imposed upon it.
PARIS, MAY 23.—A1l the doubts raised by a Jour-
nal respecting the authenticity of the act of abdica-
tion of Don Pedro, are destitute of foundation. The
attested copy, which we published on the lath,
was sent directly from Rio de Janeiro to his Ma-
jesty's Government, by M. de Gabriac, who had it
himself from the Ministry of his Majesty the Empe-
ror of Brazil.

It is affirmed that the Ministers of all the Powers
accredited to the Regent of Portugal have just re-
ceived orders to quit Lisbon. This unceremonious
proceeding has been rendered necessary by the late
Acts of the Regent.
'We can certify that the Baron Durand de Mareuil,
executing the orders of his Court, will not deviate
in any respect from the resolutions adopted in com-
mon by the Ministers of England and Austria.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1828.

With respect to the rumoured changes in the
Cabinet nothing decisive has yet transpired, nor
shall we indulge in any of the speculations of the
day, upon a subject where all opinion is useless,
till the real facts be known. A Morning Paper
gives the following as a true statement of the
case as it stands at present :
" It appears that the question of the East Iletford Bill
having been unexpectedly pressed upon the decision of the
House on Monday last, Mr. Huskisson thought himself
compelled, in consequence of an attack made upon him
by Mr. Stanley, to vote against the side tal,en by Mr.
Peel. For the sake of consistency, and from a chi-
valrous feeling of fidelity to his friend, Lord Palmer-
ston followed his examp'e. The same night Mr. Hus-
kisson wrote a letter to the Duke of Wellington, in
which he said, " that having found himself compelled to
vote against Mr. Peel, he was ready to resign his situa-
tion if that were thought proper."=-His Grace con-
sidered this letter as a virtual resignation, and forwarded it
accordingly to his Majesty on Tuesday. A letter to the
same effect from Lord Palmerston being soon after received,
was also transmitted in the same manner to the King.
Subsequently Mr. Huskisson addressed a second letter
to the Noble Duke, saying, "that he had not intended to
resign, and that all he meant by his first letter was this—
that having been compelled to vote against Mr. Peel, the
leader of the House of Commons, he should not consider
himself ill-used if he were to be deprived of his office."
The Duke of Wellington forwarded this second letter, as
he had done the tirst, to his Majesty, and here the matter
still rests for the present."

The French Papers of Friday, and the Gazette
de France, dated Saturday have been received,
but they contain no additional news from the
theatre of war. The Turks were unremitting in
their preparations for defence, but little hope was
entertained by competent judges that the new levies
would be able to resist the attack of such powerful,
numerous, and well-disciplined troops as the Rus-
sians, whose enthusiasm in the cause is at least
equal to the fanaticism of the Turks. It would
appear that the SULTAN has hitherto beguiled
himself with the idea that the Russians would
not penetrate beyond the principalities of Mol-
davia and Wallachia, and trusting to this opinion,
he has tempted his fate too far, as the sequel
will no doubt prove. -t

We have received St. Pstersburgh Journals of
the 10th May, which announce the departure of
Coe Emperor NICHOLAS from that Capital on
the 7th for the army, as previously stated in
other papers from that quarter. The Grand
Duke MICHAEL had set out for the same des-
tination on the 4th, and the EMPRESS for
Odessa on the 6th. Commerce had begun to
revive at St. Petersburgh, in consequence of the
navigation becoming free, by the disappearance
of the ice :

ST. PETERSEURGII, MAT 7.
His Majesty the Emperor left the capital this evening to
join the army which is to act against Turkey.
The Grand Duke Michael bet out for the army on
Sunday evening last.
MAY 9.--Her Majesty the Empress Alexandra set out
yesterday on her journey to Odessa.
By an ukase of the Ist inst. his Majesty has been pleased
to grant the request of M. Privy Councillor Lanskoy, on
account of his advanced age and ill health, to resign, the
direction of the Ministry of the Interior and his other
functions, retaining, however, those of Member of the
Council of the Empire, and President of the Committee
for the erection of Isaac's cathedral.

The roads of Cronstadt became free of ice on the sth,
and the flag indicating the opening of the navigation was
hoisted on the fortress.
Up to the 3d of this month 195 ships had arrived at
Riga—sailed 23.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 19th May
contains another version of the entrance of the
Russian troops into the Turkish territories, but
which mainly agrees with the previous accounts.

BERLIN, MAT 19.
We have the following account of the entrance of the
Russians into the Turkish territory:

JASSY, MAY 7.
A Russian division arrived here to-day. It hassrdis-
armed the body guard of the Hospodar, and arrested the
Prince, because he intended to fly, in order to avoid giving,
as he is bound to do, accounts of his administration. He
has been conveyed to his estates in Bessarabia. Count
Pahlen, who arrived with the Russian troops, has caused
the manifesto to be distributed. Me announced himself
to the assembled Boyards, as head of the Provisional Go-
vernment. It is said that the army will not pass the
Danube till after the arrival of the Emperor at Ismail.
The Turks are reported to have assembled in Bulgaria and
Rumelia, inclusive of the garrisons of the fortresses,
20,000 regular troops, 20,000 body guards of the Paellas,
and about 100,00,1 militia.

Hamburgh Papers of the 20th instant con-
tain some particulars from Christiana, which
show pretty dearly that the Norwegians are not

altogether satisfied with their present condition.
The severity of the Proclamation bi presumptive
proof that the Government arc not easy on the
subject :

CIIRIsTIANIA, MAY 9!
His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway issued,
on the 7th, a very severe proclamation against the persons
who constantly endeavour to excite the inhabitants of
Norway against the Sweeles, who with this view have
been accustomed for these four years past to meet on the
17th of May, in which meeting they conducted them-
selves in an illegal manner. (The 17th of May was the
day on which Prince Christian, in 1814, assumed the
Crown of Nerway, which he afterwards laid down.) His
Majesty declares, that what was done on the 17th of May
was irrevocably abolished by the Constitution, which was
solemnly sworn to on the 4th of November following. His
Majesty has therefore strictly prohibited such meetings as
those above alluded to, and announced that, for the pur-
pose of maintaining order and tranquillity, and the Consti-
tution under which Norway and Sweden have enjoyed so
much prosperity, orders have been given to all military
and civil authorities rigorously to enforce this prohibition,
and to punish all who may transgress it as the law directs.
STOCK}►OLM, MAY 9.

It supposed that the Swedish and Norwegian squa-
dron will remain nine montks in the Mediterranean to pro-
tect the commerce of the two kingdoms.

13E ILL N, MAY* 17.

It is said that Count Norlitz, Aide-de•Camp to Prince
Blucher, will go to the head-quarters of the Russian Em-
peror, with Count Bsthysi and Panzer, Lieutenants of
Engineers.

His Majesty's packet Nocton has arrived with
a mail from Brazil to the 18th of March. She
sailed from Pernambuco on the 18th February,
from Bahia on the 23d, and from Rio Janeiro
on the 18th March, being only two days later
than the last accounts from that quarter, and
consequently bringing less news.
The operations of the contending armies !had
not recently been attended with any &dive
movement or event worth notice, except that they
approximated each other n(o doubt with the in-
tention of seizing a favourable opportunity for
coming to action. The Brazilian army had
rather shown the white feather in their late con-
duct, and were very shy of waiting the advance
of the Buenos Ayrean troops, who had taken
possession of Jaguarao. The force on both
sides is
_nearly equal, being from 6 to 8,000
strong. Should they come to close corn-
bat, the loss of an action will • not be of
much concern to the Buenos Ayreans, but
if the Imperialists are defeated the consequences
may be ruinous to the future hopes of DON
PEDRO. The following is taken from the first
number of an 'English Paper, entitled the
,Rio

Herald, which has been published at Rio
Janeiro, the present number of which contains
the EMPEROR'S declaration of andkation of the
Crown of Portugal in favor of DONNA

MARIA , 7.:At/!
(From the Rio Herald; of March 8.)
We have been favoured with the following extract of .a
letter, dated Rio Grande, Feb. 7 :
" We have been much alarmed these last three or four
weeks, expecting the enemy would advance upon St. Fran-
cisco de Paula and this place, and almuo„4444enspansion
of business, has been the consequence. tiOnlErs -hive' been
issued by tho Commander-in-Chief' (Lehoir) to embark, all
moveable property of value, families, &c., from the fron-
tiers, Freguesia de St. Francisco de Paula, and even this
side the water, for the north, where vessels are hired to
receive goods, for want of sufficient warehouses, and the
yachts have been embargoed by the Government ; nor are
vessels allowed to unload on this side the water, whether
national or foreign : in fact, nothing is doing except get-
ting cargo on board a few foreign vessels in port.
The enemy had passed the lines, and taken poeression
of Jaguarao, but how the inhabitants were treated is not
known.
The Brazilian army had retired farther up the river,
Jaguarao, giving the enemy an opportunity to enter the
province with their whole force. General Lecor had ar
rived at the army about three weeks ago, and discovered
that great intriguing was going on with some of the
principal officers against General Braun, who very spi-
ritedly demanded his dismissal unless they were removed,
and although they were immediately under him in com-
mand, his demand was granted by General Lecor, by
sending tl,•:11 to different places, and now good order is
re-established. The most favourable result is looked for ;
the two armies are within a short distance of each other—
&one say three or four leagues, while others affirm they are
within sight, with something like an equal force of six or
eight thousand strong. We are in daily expectation of a
battle, and until it has taken place, and that favourable to
the Brazilians, business will be very dull.
ALts.cn 15.—The report which was circulated last
Saturday of a general action having taken place bet Ween
the Brazilian and Buenos Ayrean armies, and which we an-
nounced in our last paper, appears to have been premature.
It is nevertheless true that Government has received dis-
patches by the two last vessels of war entered from the
south, stating that the two armies, at no great distance from
each other, were in a mutual state of observation, and that
on our side all necessary precautions had been taken to pre-
vent any of the enemy's manoeuvres from taking effect. The
first arrivals were consequently looked for with great
anxiety, and we should not be surprised, should any general
action take place, that it will prove decisive.
