FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Eioile, dated Saturday, Aug. fi.)
PAuls, Aug. a•.---General Guillentinot sets out to-mor-
row for Constantinople.
On the 14th of July, the Duke de Ragusa delivered
his credentials as Envoy Extraordinary from his Most
Christian Majesty to her Royal Highness the Infanta,
Regent of Portugal.
On the same day her Royal Highness gave audience to
the Charges d'Affaires of Austria, France, Prussia, and
Denmark, who delivered to her letters from their respec-
tive Sovereigns. Lieutenant-General Pahneirim has been
appointed Governor-General of Lisbon, and of the pro-
vince of Estremadum.

Letters from Trieste say, that letters from Napoli di
Romania have been received, by way of Corfu and Ve-
nice, dated the 3d of July. Lard Cochrane had not yet
arrived there, and nothing certain was-known of the time
when he might be expected. It was said at Corfu that
he was at Malta.
Our task, in replying to Journals to-day will be easy.
The same word will serve for all their news.

It is false that the squadrOn of Admiral Neale is gone
to the• Dardanelles, as the :Wats says, to protect the
European Ambassadors. There never was a revoltaion
effected in a manner less alarming to the Franks. All
bear witness to the tranquillity Which has prevailed, since
the 15th instant, in the quarters of Constantinople inha-
bited by foreig~nr►ers.
ft is false that our Minister at Lisbon has been insulted,
and stones thrown at the windows of his carriage, as the
Quotidiernie tells us.

It is false that 5,000 French troops are going to form
the garrison of Badajoz, as the Drapcau says.
It is false that the Lisbon Gazette of the I9th has not
arrived at Paris, as the Courier' Francais says. We
;.gave the contend.; of it. yesterday.
It is false that the' letters from Constantinople have
been intercepted at the Post Office,
.as the Conaltuhond
Arnim.

It is false that there has been an affray at Oporto, as
the driitarque relates, and that.three hundred men have
been killed or wounded. Neither do we belieVe what the
Indicator Pordelois says of the passage of Sir W.
A'Court to d'Amaranthe, through Madrid, on their way
to Solar de Cabras. This news is the, less probable, as
Sir Charles Stuart having been F Id • li
recalls!, an 'won
have no Minister at Lisbon.
We also greatly doubt the . news given by the o,nel-
/talon/A, that Portugal has just been open to all the Spanish
refugees. This news must be classed with that of its
Ministry, from which it would probably expect this act
as the trial of Sanguire Souligne.
MADRID, JULY 22.—A new regulation for the Royalist
Volunteers; which annuls definitively the regulations
made two years ago, during the Ministry of General Cruz,
has just. appeared. This regulation, bearing date. June 8,
makee but few alterations in the existing state of things.
(From the :Miami des Debals.)
PARIs, Ang.3.—Our correspondent at Lisbon thus ad-
dresses•' us, on the 19th of July
74 crisis is urgent, because the enemies of aocial'Order
are ans.:'oi!s to strike a great blow previous to the solemn
oath which the three orders of the state'sige to take to the
Constitution, ort the 30th ear. That oath would bea new
bar to their projects, for, that epoch past, they would
have the additional risk of punishment to be incurred by
thoSe who shall infringe the oath; and should they, on
the other hand, openly refuse to take the oath to the
'Constitution,"they would be exposed to an accusation for
diSobedience to the lawful Authorities. *

A considerable number of English troops is in constant
readiness to disembark, and several petty detachments, at
different times, and upon various pretexts, have been land-
ed, and, after remaining for some hours in the city, and
'wandered over it, have gone on board again.
At Oporto, matters are much more seriotta than at
Lisbon ; hut the Government draw a veil over all that has
passed, and private letters, that speak on the subject, do
nor reach their addresses. It is notorious for al) that,
that there has be.'en a fight between three regiments, Lille
of which deelared ,for, and the other two, against, the
Regency; and that the first, after many men had been
killed and womided, wits illtimately dimwitted. Reports,
more or less vexatious, are iii Ovulation, relative to the
Queen i # #. A great many new peers were men-
tioned at Lisbon, who were, it was said, to give in their
resignations ; but nothing of the kind has occurred hitherto.
We must not conclude, that, among, these now ,peers,
there are not some Who are hostile to 'the new political
my,. tent ; but niftily of them imigine, thtit they will better
fia wild their views, in enforcing them from the tribune,
.
than by,kving in a resignation, by which they might be
comproniweil, and thus the greater part have made a
cietitice of their personal interests to the interests of the

The affairs of the transactions at Bayonne has termi-
nated to the advantage of all the accused. Regard for the
niatteradjudged, interdicts to its all expression of approba-
tion or disapptiobation at this result. We may, notwith-
standing, take the liberty of adverting to an expression of
the Mike de Choiseul, which has had as mach success in
the chamber of Peers as it had at Paris. lit one of his
last speeches he termed this preceding a judicial jubilee:

COSSTANTINOPP. 1,, :JULY 3.--As told YOn in my
Constantinople is far from being tranquil since the great
event of the 15th June. The Sultvi the Grand N.lizjer„
the Officers of State, are encamped' in the public square,
nnct are inutecto.l by r ptwevitti up,im of noutry, tlgaulbt

such popular commotions and reactions as may manifest
themselves. The Mufti, and other heads of religion, are
incessant in their prayers, and all the insignia of the
Mahometan belief are displayed around the Sultan, in
order to enforce upon the people, that the changes that
have been effected do not, in any respect, alter the
ancient faith of the Prophet. What is essentially injuri-
ous the projects of the Porte, is the known impossi-
bility of its, continuing, for any length of time, those
sacrifices of every kind which a revolution at Constan-
tinople requires. During the first day or two of the
revolution, it was quite easy for the Divan to diminish the
price of bread and of rice one half; but this niariemin,
purchased by the distribution of a number of purses, can-
not be long maintained. A belief has been spread abroad
in the principle, that the ,Janissaries were the cause of the
high prices of provisions, and, in a word, of all the miseries
of the people; but the people, stupid as they are, will re-
ject that notion the moment that things come to the level
of their reel value. You are aware, that with all the des-
potism of the Sultan, there is no country in which taxes
can be heightened, mid supplies raised with such difficulty.
His poll-tax once paid, the Mussultrian is no longer a pub-
lic debtor * * # *.

The news received from Adrianople, and from Asia
Minor, speak a great deal about the profound impression
produced by the revolution of the 15th. It appears • that
the-men of religion, the Mufti, the Imans, are opposed
to the new organisation of the troops after the European
mode, and have been sadly affected by the massacres of
the capital. It is certain that the Aga Nebo, who corn-
mended the Divan, which permitted these terrible execu-
tions, has acted with most barbarian imprudence. The
destructiou'of the Janissaries, as a corps, was necessary,
but, after a few striking examples, the rest of the indivi-
duals ought to have been .spared. Favours, not death,
ought to have been held out to those troops, which are
yet masters of a gieat part of the kingdom, and which
despair must unite to the combat. But such calculations
enter not into the conteMplation of a policy which recog-
nizes, in victory, nothing but the right. of superior force.
lt is now (the 3d July) the twentieth day since the revo-
lution, and the massacres are still going on. •

MANCHESTER, AUG. 5.

jrßom 0111 i. OWN CORRISPONDINTS.)

Our commerce is reviving. With extreme langour and dejec-
tion it appears to move heavily anti slowly, and to experience in
its rugged course a retardation almost equal to the power by
which it is darkly impelled into action. In short, its progress
is not very unlike the renewed workings of a Vast anti compli-
cated machine, which has sustained very 'considerable damage by
long ill use, and whose liner and weaker movements are almost
entirely destroyed by rust, breakage, and inaction. Still we can-
not help congratulating ourselves on the manifest change that is
now taking place in our condition. Our state has so long been
forlorn, and our prospects so completely dark awl cheerless, that
the most feeble symptoms of animation in our frame give us hope
and encouragement, and lead us fondly to persuade ourselves that
the worst is gone by, and that improvement and health are near
at hand.

We have now a new commercial world presented to us. Many of
our old connections are removed; swept away by the violence of
the storm which has recently visited every corner of our dis-
trict. Their habitations, desolate and in ruins, speak to us of
past strength and prosperity ; they present themselves to the eye
as lasting monuments of fanner greatness. In this wretched and
disorganized state we cannot reasonably expect a very rapid im-
provement. Our amendment must necessarily be tardy, and a
work of time ; and we have yet much, very much to suffer before
we can enjoy any thing like-our fofiner health and comfort.
It is truly heart-rending to look upon the misery and tvretel►ed-
ness that abound in our public streets. To recognize, among the
starving, those individuals who so recently were enjoying, as the
fillits of their honest, industry, not only the necessaries, but even

the' comforts of life. To see thrill now bereft of every thing that
can Make life dear to them ; their children running from door to
door to ask bread to satisfy, the cravings of a crying hunger ; and
themselves in " looped and windowed raggedness," devouring the
morsel which a feeling humanity commt withhold from them.
Such are the votes which. are daily presented to our notice. Such
in the picture which, in our public streets, we are Called-upon to
contemplate.
But here we do not see the whole of our misery. If we follow

thew wretched beings to their homes ; see them -huddled together
by dozens in dark and filthy cellars, for the purpose of making
their rents less burthensome to each individual; observe their

homes deserted and in decay; we cannot avoid the involuntary
suggestion that something must be dome; some change must be
made, or we must inevitably perish.

The Funds for the Relief of the Poor are nearly exhausted,
there being ouly sufficient for. 'Mother week's distribution ; after
which 7,500
.10W/iv', say 29,000 persons, will be left totally des-
titute of the means of subsistence, having nu, claim for parochial
relief. What a picture to contemplate ! , .

T[U DOWAGER
.LADY-GRESLEY AND SIR
ROGER GRESLEY.

" The fashionable world is much ;occupied with a charge
of lunacy preferred against' a Lady 14 her own son. The
case was to be tried at BerWick-opon-Tweed. Applica-
tions were made to the Lord
,Chancellor on Wednesday
(which he heurd in his private room), to remove the in-
quiry to London; and the affidavits were so strong,show-
ing the Lady's correct, hOwever eccentric, conduct for
years, that the application was granted, and the 'inquiry,
if pursued further, is to take ace in London. The Lady
is a great reader, of extraOrditiry memory and quickness,
and hence appears eccentric to the world'in
general. --

It is better to waive the mystical mention of names,
which only excites curiosity without gratifying it, than to
leave the public merely in possession of the vague informa-
tion which the above paragraph would convey. We regret
to state, that the Dowager Lady Gresley, and her son Sir
Roger, are the respectablepersons to whom it relates.
The lady against whom the application has been made was
an heiress, and is at this moment in the independent poi
session of a very large fortune. She claims one of the
prouditst descents in this country, and she presided for
many years, surrounded by a circle deeply attached to
her, over the frequent and splendid' hospitalities of
her httabiand at Drakelow 'Hall.- .We are in possession
of the whole circumstances of the ease, and of what
passed at the private bearing in the Lord Chancellor's
Room. lemay not :be uninteresting for the public to
know, that the,Honourable Baronet and his another, since
the marriage of the former, have not been on the best
