FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Monday, Nov. 19.)
PARIS, Nov, 18.—The letters from Constantinople
by way of Odessa are of the 23d of October. , That
capital was perfectly tranquil. •
The King having learnt that his Catholic Majesty
intended to go to Barcelona, and knowing that he
had at his disposal a considerable corps of Spanish
troops, thought that he might wish to appear in that
capital surrounded only by his own subjects.
The Viscount de St. Priest has therefore been
commissioned to propose to him in "the King's name
to withdraw from Barcelona the French div:-

which occupied it. His Catholic Majes.*- '"O°accepted this offer, the division has r- 'Y having

A WORD UPON TWO razauDICTES RELATIVE TO THE TURKS.
" Notwithttanding-ii,,e boasted word of honour of the
Mussulmen,' sat* .:. the English Admiral in his des-
patch," IhD.ti.irn Pacha unworthily violated his word."
Who., then, has so much boasted the good faith
and uprightness of the followers of Mahonict, unless
it be the philosophers of the last century, after the
example of their patriarch Voltaire ? It is especially
in his pretended general history called Essai sur les
11 ours, that he .has neglected no opportunity to
represent :'the Mussulmen as conscientious ob-
servers.,of their oaths, and the Christians on the
contrary-. as perfidiously disregarding the most
solfitnn treaties. Faithful to his plan of everywhere
81746wirig the disciples of the Coran as superior to
• those of the Gospel, it is seldom that he draws the
'picture of a chief of the Saracens, Moors, or Turks,
• without betraying the• secret wish that Jam reader
.• may apply to him the famous lines of his Zaire--
▪ 4Genereux, bienfaisant, juste, plein de vertus,
S'il etait ne Chraien, que serait it de plus
And in our days have not certain officious defenders
of: he legitimacy of the Turkish dominion in Greece
called upon us a hundred times to see a new Oros-
mane and almost a French chevalier, in Ibrahim
Pacha, the incendiary, the devastator of the Morea,
the trafficker in salted heads, the murderer of wo-
men and children, the oath-breaker---in short, who
has just- broken the faith which he pledged in axe
face of Heaven.

The second prejudice which v. e wish to point out
here, is that which tends to represent Turkey as the
most ancient ally of France. It would be time to
leave this popular_ belief to the use of those whose
politics consist of common-place sayings. On what
foundation is it built ? Francis 1., closely pressed
on all sides by the united forces or Henry VIII. slid
Charles V., conceived the plan of making a powerful
diversion by engaging Soliman 11. in this great quar:
rel. The Ottoman Admiral, the famous .Sarbarossa
immediately joined his gullies with the ?renal feet,
from which he soon separated to crimmit atrocious
excesses on the coast of Italy. It is apparently from
this epoch that we are to dale the alliance of the
Crescent and Fleur-de-Lis.„'which is so dear to our
coffee-house politicians. But where can they show
us any vestiges of it ? Nothing, on the contrary, is
more easy than to r'iace examples before their eyes,
which incontestal-4 prove that our Kings never
thoOght them.soaes bound by an engagement, secret
or/public, to the Ottoman Porte.

Louis 7,40. N.; the natural enemy of Austria, and
even accused of favouring the malcontents of
Hungary, as soon as he learns that that kingdom is
threatened by the Turks, does not hesitate to post-.
pone the interests of his policy to those of religion
and civilization'. He sends to the aid of the
Emperor a corps of troops, with the flower of his
nobility at their head. s Tha total defeat of the
Ottomans at the battle of St. Gothard is ascribed
by the Germans themselves, to the French valour,
Some years later, the Turks united all their efforts.
against the isle of Candi'a, and the Venetians saw
the French hasten to assist them in protracting their
heroic defence againsii: the barbarians. Charles X.
has just shown Mins& worthy of his immortal an-
cestors : the most civilized people in the universe
will never be the ally of that which incessantly aims
at the destructirin cf all we have that is the most',
sacred and thr, most dear.

(From the Journal des Debuts of Sunday.)
17.—Some Prelates have demanded
of Fran(' e, that she should make Christian elections.
Is it rrobable it will not make Turkish ones. The
'nor-Tent would be badly chosen, when all hearts are
palritating with the :exults of the battle of Navarin.
this moment that battle is a loss for the Pre-.
'nets. It deprives tilem of the resource of promis-
ing to the elentors their assent for concerts in favour
of the Gre,.k,, which was a powerful means of se-
duction when the riinistry -considered them as re-
volters against the legitimacy of the scymetar. Now
the Ministry rejoice, as every one knows, at the
unforeseen event which has determined their deli-
veance. We hope that the news which will suc-
cessively arrive from the Departments, will equally
,rejoice the same Ministry at the results of the great
-battle of the_elections.

NEW CRIME OF THE MINISTRY.

We arc informed of another Ordinance for the es-
.tahlishment of the Censorship. On the 30th of the
month it will be ftilminated. Let it be remarked,
that the elections will not be over by the 30th.
Corsica will not ill ive returned its Deputies by that
time, as its Electoral College will not be assembled
till the .sth of Jarnary.

" Electors ! you are placed between two light-
houses—the censorship is passed, and that which is
preparing, which show you your dangers. You see
-what a Ministry weighs down France. Let its ruin
come from the urn, or a fearful tyranny will."

PAM, Nov., It. —ELECTIONS OF, PARIS.—The
victory gained to-day at Paris by the Constitutional
'Electors, will echo in France; Europe, and the two
'worlds. In all the Electoral Colleges, .without any
, exception, the Ministry has suffered a complete de-
feat. In every direction the Constitutional Electors
have obtained the nomination of those whom they
had .previouSly, pointed out. All the Presidents,
we are happy to state, acted with impartiality and
honour ; - they have had the courage and loyalty to
disobey the Ministerial instructions. Every elector
was enabled, according to law, to vote secretly ; and
no violence has been committed on his good sense
or his conscience.

Thus, Out of 7,500 votes, in the twenty-two sec-
tions of the Colleges of the Arrondissement of the
Seine, the Constitutional electors have obtained
6,300. It will be the same every where, if the
electors, recovered from the panic caused by a power
expiring from shame and opprobrium, have courage
to resume the independence of their rights, and their
dignity as citizens.
The Deputies proposed by the Electoral Arron.
dissement of Paris are—M. Dupont, M. Jacques
Lafitte, M. Cassimir Pericr, M. B. Constant, M.
Ternaux, M. Royer-Collard, late Deputies; M. de
Schonen, Counsellor of the Cour Royale, and M. Le
Barpn Louis, formerly a Deput).

Mr. BRODIE, the eminent surgeon, when
opening the body of the late Earl of PEALBROEF, cut his
finger with one of the instruments used on that occasion,
and was ill several days afterwards, so mach so as to be
incapable of attending to his patients.

NEWPORT, Nov. l'7.—On the 19th ult. a
Mrs. 8., a governess in the family of a clergyman near
Longford, walked out, as she said, to pay a visit in the
neighbourhood, and was accompanied by a Miss L., a
young lady of. IS, with a respectable fortune. By the con-
trivanee of Mrs. 8., a chaise met thetn on the road, into
which she and Miss L. entered, and drove off towards
Dublin. At the first stage Mrs. B.'s son, a medical stir-
dent, was in waiting with a' chaise and four horses, in.
which the trio drove previously to Mullingar, and, as it has
since appeared, continued their route to England. Mr. B.
and Miss 1.. have since been married. Mrs. B. had been
highly reciammeuded to the clergyman as governess to his
children, and confidence Was therefore placed. in her. Miss
L. was an orphan and a minor, who requested the protec-
tion of the clergyman sad Y,treated with
and was
affection and kindness. The couple are now residing in
i3ristol —ilumpshire Advertiser.
