FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazeite 'de France, dated August 18.)
ODEsSA, JVLY 24.—Admiral Greig leas sailed
"towards Varna with his squadron, to second the
operations of our army.
The 'Guards have left Tedcze-to and are marching
'towards the Danube; €O,OOO fresh troops have just
received orders to leave Volhynia, and proceed to
fk frontiers. On the ether hand, the cantonments
left by the troops of \Tolhynia are occupied by 'A•esh
troops coming from the interior of the empire.
Three hundred thousand men have been lone
since assembled oil extent of 80 leagues, and'
may march at the first signal ea all directions. We
hope that no more extraordinary measures will be
necessary to restore to its the blessings of peace. A
great quantity of Congreve rockets have been em-
barked here for the army.
ANcDNA,
Aue. I.—Mr, Stratford Canning ar-
rived here on the 30th,nnd M. de Ribeaupierre had
left Bologna on the 31st, to join him here.
A Russian brig which has arrived here with dis-
patches from Admiral Heyden, announces that Count
Capo d'lstria, after having visited the head-quar-
ters of General Church, who is, with 4,000 men,
between Metica and Dragornes.tre, intended to re-
turn to Poros. It was also said, that Ibrahiee
Pacha has capitulated with the Allied Com/reorders;
nod that he was to evacuate the Morea in three
eveeks.
PARIS, AuG. 17.—Our Correspondent at Lon-
don assures us that all the assertions of the Liberal
Journals, respecting the state of the relations of the
French and English Governments, are destitute of
foundation. We are assured that England is per-
fectly agreed with France respecting Greece, and
that the former Power neglects nothing to preserve
the good understanding. The Liberals are much
deceived if they think that the policy of the Duke
of Wellington is inspired by fear of a war. The
Noble Duke, says our correspondent, does not fear
war any more than he •deeires it. His feeling is
founded on the principle aunnz (wipe, which, as we
know, is not the principle of the French Liberals,
and this may account for their ridiculous anger.
Besides, the speech which the English Ambassador.
addressed to the King, and his Majesty's answer,
confirm what our London correspondent writes to
us ; his Excellency, in the name of his Government,
expressed the most pacific intentions. He observed,
that be has known France only under the Bour-
bons, its legitimate Princee—that lie had laboured
under the late King, and in concert with him, to
maintain the good understanding between the two
countries—and that he will continue so to employ
all his efforts to obtain the same result.
The King, in his answer, said that he would en-
deavour to maintain this good understanding for two
reasons; the first, and the most weighty in his
opinion, because it is the interest of France and of
• Europe; the second, one of gratitude to Etigland
for the reception which it gave in times of rensfor-
tunes to the French exiles.
A letter from Moscow announces that the fortress
of Bandad has been taken by Acura by the troops of
Gee. Rieke wi tsch.
TOULDI-, AUG. R.--(Frorn a letter.)—"Every
thing passes here with the greatest mystery, and we
are reduced to conjecture. What seems certain is,
that the expedition will soon sail. Marry troops
arrive from the neighbourhood, and our harbour is
full of transports ; 25 arrived from Marseilles yester-
day, and as many more are expected this evening.
There were already 32, so that the number will now
be 82. The royal port, as well as the mercantile
port, is in a great bustle; ;be streets are crowded
with strangers, so that one can scarcely pass along
the quays. Everything leads to believe, that this
expedition is destined for the Morea, yet there ate
persons who affirm the contrary."
' (From the Constitutiunnet.)
PARIS, AUG. 17.—We have received the follow-
ing news froM Semlin, dated Aug. 4 :--The reports
in circulation, and which agree wiSn one another,
leave no doubt that the position of Sehumla has been
carried by the Russians. The 'Emperor Nicholas
was present at this battle, 'which will be a mortal
blow for the Turks. "elm details are expected to be
important. It is Said that the Balkan has been
forced at three d:afererit points; that the Russians
have effected a landing in the Bay of Bourgas, in
order to support one corps of their army arriving
from Varna. It is added, that all the Bulgarians
are at arms to support the Russians. The first bul-
letins wilt permit us to foresee the events of a cam-
paign which cannot fail to carry Nicholas before
Constantinople, and there the Sultan Ilahinoud
may repair to the camp of the Infidels, to receive
the conditions they will impose on him by means of
guarantees regulated in a more certain and sure man-
ner than by paper. In what manner will the
Austrian Observer receive this news? It will pro-
bably go into mourning, for the Cross is triumphant.
According to the news from Toulon, the flat boats
preparing to embark the horses were only now laid
down. The departure of the Iphigcnia has been
postponed ; she is to make part of the expedition.
The expedition, we learn from another Corres-
pondent, will not delay its departure. Many troops
have arrived in our neighbourhood; our harbour is
full of transports, and more are expected this even-
ing—making in the whole 82. The merchant har-
bour, as well as the harbour for King's ships, is full
of aetivitv. The streets are crowded with strangers,
one can 'hardly pass along the quays. Some per-
elms, however, affirm that the expedition is not in-
tended for the Morea.
The Penitents of St. Julien at Marseilles insisted
on burying one of their fraternity who had died of
the small-pox, with her face uncovered. M. Sal-
vator, the Cure, opposed this proceeding, but he
could only succeed in keeping the procession out of
the village. The Magistrates ought to interfere to put
it stop to a revolting custom.
On July 25th, a young man passing along the
banks of the Garonne, at Bordeaux, heard the cries
of a child ; he hastened to the spot, saw nothing
in the water, but two or three children pointed out
to him with much anxiety where their comrade had
disappeared. He jumped into the water, and suc-
ceeded, after some exertions, in recovering the child,
and in carrying him safe on shore, amidst the ap-
plause of those whom the same cries hadought to
the spot. The young man's name is Bechade of St.
Macaire ; he is sixteen years of age.
The Dauphin went on the 14th to visit the Mo-
del Farm at Chignon. His Royal Highness ex-
emitted the soil, and enquired into the agricultural
processes. He remarked a number of improve-
merits, particularly as to fellows, and in the plans
He
successively to develope the establishment.
visited the stables, expressed his satisfaction at their
good order, and was particularly struck 1 vith some
Schweitser bulls, as well as with the folding part of
the establishment. He terminated his visit by look-
ing at the books and interrogating the Director, M.
Bella, and M. Gibon, the farmer, on their former
military services. He expressed his satisfaction, and
told the Director that what he had seen inspired
him with confidence that the object which the King
had in view in granting the farm at Griguon would
be accomplished.

The Gazelle and-the Quotidienne,as we hear from
Amiens, have made a great deal of' noise of an op-
plication to the King, signed by ,;i2 Desservans, pu-
pils of St. Acheul, but this address was prepared at
the Seminary the last day of the Pastoral retreat,
and that the superior did not share the opinion of
the subrcribers. M. Caron, Cure of Aillyhaut-
Cloelier, presented at the Synod of the Cures of the
Canton, for signature, an address to the King, pray-
ing his Majesty to repeal his Ordinances. A spi-
rited discussion ensued, though the Bishop.was pre-
sent. At least nineteen Cures spoke, and the peti-
tion was only signed by six, the others having re-
fused to sign, and went away. Our Cures are tired
of the Jesuits' yoke, and only wish to see these gen-
tlemen all retreat to Fribourg.
The Reverend Fathers stil announce their de-
parture. The Feast of St. Ignatius was celebrated
a few days ago; the Bishop was present. At
