FRENCH PAPERS.
(Front the Gazette de France, Nov. 19.)
LE3IBERG, NoV. 2.—Letters from Brady, which
are worthy of credit, say that 25,000 fresh Russian
troops have arrived in the Principalities, so that-there
is no reason to fear any farther invasion from the
Turks. Ten thousand haye been sent to General
Geismar, and eight thousand towards Ghiurgevo.

A movement among the" Polish troops is spoken
of, And it was said at Brody that the corps of Gen.
Sacken had quitted its positions, and was marching
towards the south. It is qdialso, that the Emperor

Rims, Nov. 18.—The fears created in England
by the prolonged indisposition of the King, the sin-
cere prayers of his subjects for the re-establishment
of their. Sovereign, the secret anxiety spread in the
three kingdoms by The severe attacks which the
health of the Duke of Clarence has suffered, are but
too well justified by a glance at the Royal House of
England. A great question is in fact-taised by these
mournful prospects; and if more favourable reports
extenuate at this moment. the effect of first impres-
sions, they are not sufficiently effaced to prevent us•
approaching this great subject. When the ,chances
of human life are connected with the_ destiny of em-
pires, they are weighed . with double solicitude.
Time, which mows down without distinction, often
ustifies- our calculations ; but as establishing proba-
bilities, neither hasten nor direct his blows, perhaps
the alarms in. -Pnigland authorise in France an exa-
mination of that on. which
i we do sincerely •
desire may be ltngclbeuete it s agitated on the banks
of the Thames.
An infant, nine years old,Ale xandrina Victoria, a
daughter of the Duke of Kent,-..and a Princess of
Saxe Coburcr, is destined for the. Throne of Eng-
land. The Duke of Clarence, - aged
63, the Pre-
sumptive Heir, has no children.
The reigns of women have been glorious to Eng-
land; land ; but it is a legitimate cause of anxiety when 6
we
see the Crown placed before its time on the brow
of an infant heiress, who prepossesses Great Britain),
and Europe is attentive to every thing which may
affect the political seat of a country placed in the
first rank among the preponderant powers. That
would be the first time that the infancy cf a Prin-
cess would raise the question of a Regency. The
public law fixes the time at which a Queen shall lie
of age at 18. If a young Princess, called pre-
maturely to the Throne, still reserves for Great
Britain the afflicting dicussion which a Royal House
rich in Princes and Princesses, seemed to have for.
a long time deferred, the Resolutions of 1788 and
1810 will be invoked in support of those which
such mournful events would render necessary.—
But never, perhaps, will the formation of a
Regency be presented in so delicate a point of
view, nor in more difficult circumstances. Since, in
fact, the Prince who is placed by his birth the nearest
the Throne does not of right give to a minor heir
the support of his talents and experience. On which
of the DAkes of Cumberland, Sussex, or Cambridge
would devolve the destinies of England ? The first
has become almost a stranger to his country by his
marriage and his residence in Germany, and seems
to have forgotten Great Britain ; and the Parlia-
ment, a few years ago, did not wish to remember
that he had a son, unless he came to reside on the
banks of the Thames. Manners more military than
political, and constitutional habits lost in a climate
hitherto little favourable to their de velopement, kitouid
not recommend that Prince to be chosen.to so im:
posing a guardianship. The political education or ea
Queen is not conferred with the same carelessness as
the command of a regiment of hussar's.
The Duke of Sussex has nothing to fear from pre-.
judices of this nature. As English as England it-
self, he is the lively image of the political manners
of his fellow•eitizens. An Oppositionist; .for .he
votes against the Ministers of the Crown as if he
were not born to wear it. As a friend to the
Emancipation of the CatholiCs, he has never refused
a toast to religious liberty. Popular assemblies

LONDON.
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1828,

The' French PaperS last received contain some

Jews from the late theatre of war. It is said
hat 25,000 fresh Russian troops have entered

timecnineipalities, order to reinforce the army
of General GEISMAR, and the other divisions
which may be in want of assistance. The Polish
troops, too, are said to be moving southwards,

but not, we should suppose, so much to support
the army on the Danube, as for other weighty
considerations nearer home. The fall of Silistria
is again reported, and we see no reason to doubt
if it has not actually surrendered, that it soon
will ; for the Russians being safe at Varna,
they can turn their attention to Silistria with
renewed spirit. The army before Shumla
will be sufficient, even if it retire towards
the Danube, to keep HUSSEIN PACIIA in
check. The Turks may withstand the Russians
behind walls, but they will not have the same
advantage in the open field against the veteran
discipline of their foes. It is now said that the
Imperial Guards will not repass the Danube, but
take up their position at Issaktcha. We think
they should rather take up a position nearer Si-

listria, as that fortress is the most direct commu-
nication with Shumla of any other on the Danube.
The Emperor NICHOLAS is said, in some ac-
counts, to be disposed for peace, while others
state the very reverse. For our own parts, we
think lie will be in no hurry to make peace,
unless the Turks make some concessions, which
their pride forbids ; or unless those powers of
Europe interested in preserving the integrity of
the Turkish Empire interpose their powerful
mediation.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 14th contains
the following article from Corfu ; it is anything
but favourable to the Greeks. The story of
their selling the provisions received, from the
French for ditribution among the poor, to the
Turks of Coron, is no had joke, though the
French were not likely to relish it. We suspect
the enthusiasm of the French will cool before
they leave the Morea

CORFU, OCT. 9.

We have no recent accounts of the GreekeXPedi-
y expedi-
tion against Prevesa. Unauthenticated reports say
that the inhabitants of Prevesa have lately bee-,
plundered by the Albanians, and that the foreign
Consuls have suffered very severely. This news, if
there is any foundation for it, was probably brought
by:the Greek steam-boat, the Karterza, which arrived
here on the 6th in the morning. When the Captain
'came to the Quarantine Establishment none of the,
inhabitants were allowed to speak to him. The
Rattlesnake corvette sailed on the 6th in the evening,
taking a southerly course, and is said to be gone to
Prevesa to protect M. Meyer, the English Consul.
The Pkilonzel brig sailed the next morning in the
game direction. On the 7th, in the afternoon, the
Jasper corvette, Captain Charles Rooke, during a
storm,
struck on the Scogliodi Serpa, at the entrance
of the channel between Corfu and the mainland, to
the North. It vas got off again with little damage,
and arrived here yesterday afternoon. It sailed from
Ancona eight days previous, and had on board a

courier with despatches for Sir F. Adam, which
were brought here by a vessel sent to the Scoglio
in the night of the 7th, and forwarded yesterday
morning to Ithaca by the Sappho, (a scampavia
belonging to the Government) with orders to pro-
ceed to Santa Altura, if Sir Frederick Adam
should have left Ithaca. We hear a great deal
of the discontent of the Greeks with their Pre-
sident, and of his differences with his elder brother,
Viario. The Greeks are said not to lie much pleased
at the arrival of the French in gig Morea, and the
latter to have many reasons to W dissatisfied with
their protegees. It is related here that the A/c4k

brought a cargo of provisions to the south pal
the Pelononnesus, which were given to the irda
tants, with directions to share these ample supg

. .
with their poor countrymen in theinterior, but 11.
French were ad with astonishment and indigna-
-4 tion on finding that the Greeks had load the ro-
visions on mules an ;en them to Coi•rm t 1
them to the Turks'. Sofhethingadof tNe sc e
kind happened before during the sierof the Acro-
polis of Athens, ky the 'Mks. French officers who
were sporting in Mire vicinity of the caap of Pelalide,
are said to have been attackh and pluneered by the
Greeks. A letter from Syra, received here a few
days ate, gives a dioouragivg picture of the state of
Greece. The lower orders complain of he taxes,
which itre ten times as great as they formerly well
and the higher classes are dissatisfied with di
arbitrary proceedings of the Government. II

The Russian army in Asia, under General
PASKEWITSCH, proceeds slowly, but surely, in
the march of conquest. They have now reached
the sources of the Euphrates, and will no doubt
endeavour to keep their ground when peace is
made. Indeed we should not be surprised to
find the Emperor NICHOLAS more disposed at
present to take a slice of Turkey in Asia than in
Europe, as being less offensive to his European
rivals. In the East he has only the Turk to
compete with, for the Persians are mere cyphers
unless supported by England. The plans of
NICHOLAS are as immense as his Empire—so
immense indeed that he dare not yet develope
them.

Letters have been received by the Brazil
packet from Rio Janeiro, of the 22d September.
The exchange had fallen to 31+ 32 per milrea,
in consequence of the demand for bills. In or-
der to make returns to Europe for the heavy
sales of English goods which had taken place, the
Government had also.been in the market for the
purchase of bills. The Brazil Funds are about
2 per cent. lower, being 70. The EMPEROR
had raised a small amount at Rio, and hinted at
the necessity he should have for a still further
amount, so that the price was still looking down.
His IMPERIAL MAJESTY dissolved the As-
sembly, recommending the attention of the
Members to the state of finance, in particular, as
necessary to the well-being of the - country, its,
honour, and prosperity. He truited, when they
next met, such measures would be found to have
been pursued as would show their industry and
patriotic exertions. There was no news received
of the ratification of the peace with Buenos
Ayres, the time not having elapsed for such an
event being known, nor had any hints got wind
of the intentions of the EMPEROR towards his
immaculate brother Don MIGUEL; but it was
generally supposed that the EMPEROR was will-
ing to make peace with the. River Plate Autho-
rities, to enable him to take the most efficient
measures against the usurper.

RIO DE JANEIRO, AUG. 30.

His Majesty, by a Decree of the 28th of August,
has been pleased to prolong the General Legislative
Assembly till the 20th of September.
• SEPT. 20.—Speech of his Majesty the Emperor
on closing the third Session of the Legislative An,
sembly :
" August and worthy Representatives*of the Bia.
zilian Nation—The legislative acts of the. present
Session have been numerous, yet the finances were
not taken into due consideration, and the affairs of
justice have not been advanced as I hoped. The
patriotism, which I must consider as ex;sting in an
exalted degree in the hearts of the Members of this
Assembly, is a pledge that, in the next Session, these
important concerns, which I have so often recom-
mended to you, will be attended to as the principal,
most necessary, and indispensable to the glory, secu-
rity, consolidation, and stability of the empire, of the
system of the Constitutional Monarchy, and of my
Imperial throne. I doubt not that the General As-
sembly will be sensible of this truth, and therefore
hope that the time of the next Session will be wisely
employed. The Session is closed.
_

" THE CONSTITUTIONAL EMPEROR AND
PERPETUAL DEFENDER OF BRAZIL."

(The Diario Fluminense, from Aug. 30 to
Lept. 22, inclusive, contains no mention whatever of
the relations between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, or
any allusion to them.)

We direct attention to the speech of Mr.
O'CONNELL (in our report of the Catholic
Association), in which he asserts that the Pope's
sentiments have been already taken on the subject
of securities, and that his Holiness is altogether
averse to them ; he advocates a full and uncon-
ditional Emancipation. Mr. O'CONNELL also
hints at a separation between the Irish Catholics
and tl•;e more moderate English ones, headed by
the Duke of NORFOLK.

have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house to the 14th October.
Their contents possess little interest. The dandy

was said at Jamaica that thy British Consul at
Port-au-Prince had ceased to exercise his func-
tions, in consequence of having been grossly
insulted by a Haytien Officer. The Consul
applied to BOVER for redress, but received for
answer, that the Governor would mot interfere
with his (wards, and the Consul might settle the
dispute as he pleased. This requires confirmation.

A very clever and sensible pamphlet on the
Silk trade has been published by Mr. BADNALL,
which deserves the serious consideration of all
interested in that important branch of commerce
and domestic employment. A contemporary,
the Morning Chronicle, has so well discussed
the merits of the work (see our Spirit of the
London Journals of yesterday and to-day), that
we are spared the trouble of entering more par-
ticularly into them, at least for the present. Mr.
BADNALL brings the best recommendat►on to
his task—he understands the subject.
