FRENCH PAPERS.

FA-ax ~ APRIL (20.—Yesterday the king gave
a private audience to the Viscount de Chateu-
Uriaird, Minister to the Court of Prussia. There
WZIB a brilliant and numerous Court; amongst

those present were the Neapolitan Ambassador
and the Prince de Talleyrand.
- letter from Florence, dated the Sth, states
„that a plot has been discovered among the troops
of the Grand Duke, and that an officer, convicted
of hawing had a share in it, has been condemned,
to die by a Military commission.
, • Lo tens from the frontiers, of Spain of the.2oth
instatlt, say, " the decision of the Spanish GO-
vernenent is_ expected with impatience at Barre-
respecting the arrests which took place on
thc-! 'l'd and 3d. Moderate persons fear new ex-
cesses,' .and are justly alarmed at the' progress
Which the revolutionary spirit makes in Catalonia.
.. Already several of the principal inhabitants, in or-
tier to escape from violence, have taken refuge in
• France. Amongst these are M. de Carts, :a
wealthy proprietor, having the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel, who has arrived at Perpignan with all
his family, and the Baron de la Barre. The
• Bishop• of Barcelona, who had been placed on
• the list of persons to be arrested, has not been
- takenlnto custody, but remains, as it were, under
the surveillance of the people, or rather of those
who seek to betray them by provoking them to
arbitrary acts."
A letter from Genoa, dated the 19th, says—
" We are perfectly tranquil here. The Austrians
• occupy the surrounding villages; but we are as-
sured that they will not enter the town. The
number of persons who have emigrated is im-'
mense. On Sunday last I saw two vessels crowded
in a most incredible manner. Officers, soldiers,
• and citizens, who were waiting in the port for a
• favourable' wind, occasionally rent the air. with
cries of—' Long live the Constitution!' Nothing
is said respecting the arrival of the King (Charles
Felix). It appears that he is still at Modena.—
The general opinion is, that he will refuse the
• Crown ; and that the King Victor Eminanuel
• will resume it."

Letters from Lyons, dated the: 26tb, state
that the two Piedmontese officers, who were ar-
rested there, have been set at liberty.
We are assured that a law projet for au-
thorizing the expence of constructing two for-
tresses in the interior of France will be imme-
diately presented to the Chambers. It is said
that this measure is adopted in consequence of a
plan presented to Government by Gen. Roguiat.
Letters from Genoa' state that the Spanish
Consul at that port had, within less than eight
clays, delivered more than 3,000 passports.
The German Journals announce that great
numbers of foreign officers are repairing to Mol-
davia to offer their services to Prince Ypsilanti.
A. letter from Hamburgh reports that the Go-
vernment of Naples is about to contract for a
loan with tho house of Rothschild and Co.

CRAJOWA, MARCH great number of
Creeks have perished in a sanguinary battle,
fought near Rudshuck, a town in Bulgaria, con-
taining.about 30,000 inhabitants.—lt is not only
,Certain that the Turkish fortress of Galacz has
fallen into the hands of the Greeks, but we also
learn that they have taken more than 30 Turkish
vessels on the Danube, all the crews of which
they put to death, with tae exception of 86 men.—
According to letters from Bucharest, dated the
15th of March, Ypsilanti was expected there on
the 19th at the latest. The Turks have retired
into the fortresses of Rudshuck and Ibrailow.

IRUX, APRIL 23.—The symptoms of an ap-
proaching change are showing themselves in all
the provinces of the Peninsula. As if by- enchant-
&Trent, a new partisan, who is said to be at the
head of 1,000 armed men, appeared on the 20th
at Salvatierra, four leagues from Vittoria. The
national guard of that town proceeded against
the rebels, and a sharp action took place. .After
an hour's fighting, the national guard was. corn-
veiled to yield to superior numbers, and sur-
,vender themselves prisoners of war, with the ex,-
-c-iftion of four men: These four men, on their
turn, spread consternation at Vittoria, and all
,the national guards of the three provinces 'of Bis-
cay- were called out. On the 22d•and .23d all
the toads. were covered with them. The gnards
of Sebastian, Irun, Tolosa, and Bilboa were
marched towards Vittoria. We are in fxpecta7
tion of further results, but this event ;'hag'
spread alarm throughout the whole country.—
Private letters from ' Valladolid state,. that
there -is 'another strong guerilla in: *Old :Cas-
tile. • This party was on the 19th at Rio Seco.
—Holy Thursday 'had nearly . proved- a day of
mourning -for this country. Every year a solemn
procession.takes place 'on that day* throughout
the. whole of Spain,. The authorities take a part
in this, Ceremony, and the presence• of the SOve-
reio. is never .dispensed with. The populace,
perceiving:tbat the King did not appear
.inthe
proceSSion, -Manifeked dissatisfaction in a" way
calculated to excite apprehension of the greatest
evils. It was found. necessary,
.to to. the
aoyal residence with all the troops of the line
and:. .the militia. It was announced that'' he
King. was prevented by indisposition from' attend-
ing the Cereroony.,=-4t is now 4 o'clock in-the
afternoon, and the inland post, which is usually
before t in the morning, 'has not yet arrived..
The journals are therefore wanting.
VIENNA, APRIL 19.-The Aulic Council' •of
War has issued: orders for the march of farther
corps of troops as 'speedily as possible to

It is now certain that a numerous Austro-Rus-

When the affairs of Italy are settled, ,the
Sovereigns',. wt are assured,will return to Vienna.
Eqiropian;angress will then assemble in our:

'We hear frOrn Laybach that the Allied Sove-
rgigcs have transmitted to the Governments of

Spain and Portugal a note relative to the political
changes lately effectedin those countries.
It is reported that Austria and Russia have.
offered their armed intervention to the Ottoman

FRANKFORT, APRI L 24.—Letters from Peters-
burg announce that- several Governors-General
of the provinces have received orders from their
Sovereign to repair to the Russian capital.
FitovrtErts OF MOLDAVIA, APRIL I. Ac-
, cording to the latest accounts, the greatest unea-
siness prevails at Bucharest, in consequence of
the Turks leaving their fortresses and approach-
ing the capital of. Wallachia. Many persons are
leaving the country. Yesterday one of the prin-
cipal.
personages of Moldavia departed for Jassy.
MAnnin, Aram 19.—This day, being Holy
Thursday, the _King made preparations for visit-
ing the churches in great pomp, as is usually done
every year. The garrison .was accordingly
drawn out under arms. Suddenly contrary orders
were given, and it was announced that the King,
having been for some days indisposed, was at last
obliged to confine himself to his bed. A report
was then circulated that the Ministers had re-
ceived alarming news relative to the safety of the
King's person. One fact is certain, that two
men were last night arrested in the court of the
palace.—The Government .has received official
intellige.w.e that the band of the Canon Marino
is surrounded by the troops_ dispatched to de-
stroy it. The celebrated partisan the Empeti-
nada is at the head of all their troops.

In addition to the intelligence contained in the
French Papers, we have received the following
letter from our correspondent:—
" Paris, April 30.-4 have obtained informa-
tion, on which you may implicitly rely, that two
ordinances have this day received the sign ma-
nual, which elevate the Ex-minister Abbe Mon-
tesquieu and the Count de Blacas to the rank of
Dukes. Several military promotions will take
place in consequence of the baptism of the Duke
of Bordeaux ; but I have not heard the name
of any new marshal, though Count Rapp has a
good deal of that anxious and smirking air which
generally portend§ an accession of dignity.—All
is bustle and preparation for to-morrow's fete ;
and the Parisians, generally speaking, seem in-
clined for one day at least to merge -their politics
in their love of spectacle: a few grumblers, how-
ever, have been putting up prayers for rain, and
the fogginess of to-day has put them in spirits,
as they augur from it a derangement of to
morrow's sports. The number of these unna-

tural Parisians (for a Parisian spectacle-hater is
indeed a monster) is extremely few.—A great
sensation has been excited to-day by the King's
re-appearance in public after his long seclusion.
His Majesty left his Palace about half past one
in an open carriage, and proceeded amidst the
loudest acclamations of an immense concourse of
people to the Champ de Mars, where he re-
viewed all the troops now in Paris, consisting of
at least '20,000 men. His Majesty appeared in
excellent health and spirits, and went through
the fatigue of the review, which lasted four hours,
without any symptoms of pain or lassitude. His
reception indeed was such as could not fail to
animate .and delight him. The Count d'Artois
and the Duke 'of Angouleme accompanied him
on horseback ; and the Duchesses of Angoulema
and Berri were in his carriage with the infant
Duke of Bordeaux.—A programme is every where
circulated of the ceremonies to be observed on
the approaching fête, which is to last three days.
On the first day (to-morrow) the Royal Infant
will, at 11 o'clock in the morning, be bap-
tized at Notre-Dame. The King is ex-
pected to be present. On the second day
there.will be a grand ball at the Hotel de Ville,
at which all the Royal Family, with the excep-
tion of the King, will be present.—On the third
day balls will be given at the public expence to
the different trading bodies of the metropolis.
Illuminations, fireworks, and distributions of
wine and victuals, will take place on all three
days. The utmost precautions will be observed
to prevent any accident : and political disturbance
or riot is out of the question, when it is con-
sidered that, besides the Parisians' inordinate
love of pleasure, there are 20,000 troops, exclu-
sive of the gend'armerie, ready to check those
who might happen to have a taste different from
the great body -of their -fellow-citizens.--I have
very little political news for /oil : the last ac-
xounts from Italy state, that the King of Naples
Arrived at Rome on the 'Wednesday before.
Easter Sunday, and was expected to remain there
for a week. A decree has been published at
Naples, appointing four committees of censorship
and superintendence over the conduct of ministers
of the Church,*of all persons connected with the
Press; or with education, whether in public or
private schools; of all persons employed in ju-
dicial offices of whatever class ; and, lastly, of
all persons employed in any public administra-
tion of whatever nature. This is political jealousy
with a vengeance; indeed, rather more than one
should have thought necessary to exercise over a
people who have shewn themselves so little for-
midable as the burlesque Constitutionalists and
Bobadil heroes of Naples. Instead of severe re-
strictive laws, one, svp,Ald have thought that the
buffoonery of the. Minchinkellb of the Naples stage
might suffice to discountenance revolution there
for at least half a century: Let them sing and
dance and eat macaroni, and leave all mention or
thought of liberty to thcps4 who have the courage
to fight and die for it."-(The Times.)

The Committee of the House of Commons,
now sitting on the Vagrant Laws, have collected
a mass of valuable and important evidence from
Magistrates and others conversant with the sub-
ject. The examination of Mr. BODKIN of the
Mendicity Office occupied the Committee two
whole days, and some practical measures are ex-
pected immediately to result from their labours.
BOW-STIR:ET.— Yesterday five of the gang of
smugglers who were concerned in the late ren-
contre which took place at Herne Bay, Whit-
stable, Kent, with some seamen in the Preventive
Service, in which one of the latter was killed,
underwent an examination before iticitAnn Bta-
NTE, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, and were re-
manded for further examination,

Paris Papers of Monday arrived last night.—
They contain no intelligence respecting the Greek
insurrection which has not been anticipated by
preceding accounts, except a report current at
Vienna, that Austria and Russia have offered
their ARMED interposition to the'Ottoman Porte,
to restore tranqUillity in the Greek Provinces.—.
Private advices from Trieste state, that a large
armed Greek vessel had arrived there from
Patras in the Morea, for the purpose of purchas-
ing firms and ammunition. The vessel left
Patras on the 4th of April, and brought an ac-
count of the Turks and Greeks having come to
open war. It appears that a perfect understand-
ing existed between the northern and southern
provinces of Greece, and that a general insurrec-
tion throughout the Morea was to take place about
the 6th ult. The Turks' having gained intelli-
gence of the design, commenced hostilities by
setting fire to the Greek Church at Patras, and
to the Palace of the Bishop, which was destroyed,
committing also some acts of aggression against
the houses of those inhabitants whci were sus-
pected of acting a conspicuoui part in the designs
for the subversion of the Turkish power. In con-
sequence of these outrages the Greeks sallied forth
from their houses and attacked the Turks, several
of whom were slain. The Turks retreated to
the citadel, `and cannonaded the town : in this
state things remained when the vessel sailed for
Trieste. The Bishop of EPIiESUS is said to have
taken the field at the head of a great' body of
Greeks, chiefly from'Sparta. and Maim ; and the
Pacha of the Morea has delayed marching against
ALI PAcuA 'in consequence of these events.—
Accounts from Bayonne and Irun represent the
Provinces of Spain to be in a disturbed state, and
state that fresh bands of Guerillas are continually
forming. At Salvatiera one of these bands, com-
manded by a priest, took possession of that town,
and threw down the constitutional pillar, amid
cries of " Live the King ! Live Religion !" It
is added that the National Guard of Vittoria
was sent out against the rebels, and after a short
engagement, in which no lives were lost, the
whole guard were made prisoners, with the ex-
ception of four men who succeeded in escap-
ing to Vittoria, which town was thrown into con-
sternation. The Political Chief of the Biscayan
Provinces has ordered all the National Guards to
march against the rebels. In our preceding
columns we have given extracts from the French
