EXPRESS FROM FARIS,

(From the M'essager des Chambres-2d edit.)
BUCHAREST, AUG. 26.—A report is in circula-
tion, that on the 18th there was a sharp action
tr;:der the walls of Shumla, in which the outworks of
the place were taken by General Krassowsky, who
would have pursued his victory further had not the
Grand Vizier sent him word that he had received
orders to negociate, and that he had written to Gen.
Diebitsch to know the place where the Plenipoten-
tiaries should meet. This circumstance, has it is
said, led to an armistice before Shumla. It is added
that the Grand Vizier himself will conduct the ne-
gociations in the name of Turkey, and that Halil
Effendi will accompany him to the place of con-
ference. Others pretend to know that the Plenipo-
tentiaries will meet at a farm-house near Adrianople.

To-clay the Journal des Dehats, the Courier

The Gazette of yesterday morning was seized.

PARIS, SPAPV. j?..—The Journal du Commerce
of this morning says---;f We learn this evening that
the Journal du Commerce has been seized to•day at
the Post-office. This measure is explained to us by
a denunciation of the Gazette de France, drawn up
in the style of an indictment. On the announce-
ment of a subscription opened in the five depart-
ments of Bretagne, for the purpose of indemnifying
the subscribers, in case they should be prosecuted in
consequence of the introduction of an illegal tax,
the Gazette, which had-published the advertisement
of this subscription, to poison it by its perfidious
commentaries,. has, we hear, been itself seized at
the Post-office."
The fact is true, but we think the Attorney-
General has made a mistake on this occasion ; for, if
we cannot quote the bad articles of-the revolutionary
journals, how can we refute them, or even combat
them. The ta.k of a journal, the defender of order,
could not possibly be performed. The Gazette has
done what his Majesty's Attorney-General himself

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1829.

The contents of the French Papers give
daily proofs of the great and growing unpopu-
larity of the Government. The people are not
content with verbal execration, but they proceed
to second their sentiments by acts at once spi-
rited and alarming. These acts, it is true, have
no immediate tendency to arrest the progress of the
Goverriment, but they are peculiarly calculated to
arouse the public mind, and to influence its fu-

ture conduct, should the contingent measures
take place which are objects of their present ap-
prehension. But the discussion of such acts,
though only probable, must be dangerous to the
existence of the French Ministry. The people
are thereby put on their guard, and taught to
look with increased jealousy upon the conduct
of their rulers. In this watchfulness of the
people the Ministry will find a double cause of
regret, first, that their acts, however good, will
only be received with distrust, and if they me-
ditate any infringement upon public liberty, that
the people will be prepared to defeat them
before they can well begin. The Ministry
must therefore be working in doubt—while
the public abhorrence but increases their
perplexity. In this dilemma the Government
can begin no popular act with a❑ assurance of
general welcome, nor undertake an unpopular
one with any hope of success. The formation
of the Breton league must sadly paralyse the
proceedings of the Ministry, and the welcome
given to General LAFAYETTE is another strong
indication by which the Government may read
" its history in a nation's eyes." On this sub-
ject the Times of this morning very justly
remarks that every shout of applause for Gene-
ral LAFAYETTE is a shout of defiance against

the Ministers c‘ The old General, from his early
services in the cause -of libeity,—from his im-
mense sacrifices for his country,---from his in-
trepid consistency of character during a poli-
tical career of 40 years, during which the world
turned around him or changed its principles
several times while he remained unchanged,
is deservedly an object of great esteem and
admiration. But why is he brought for-
ward, or why does he make I►imself promi-
nent, on this occasion, type as he is of
the Revolution ? and why, when he does
appear, is he so enthusiastically received ?
For no other reason but because the ICING
has made choice of what is considered a
counter-revolutionary Cabinet, and because
the people are desirous of evincing their
adherence to the free institutions which they
think at present threatened, by testifying their
grateful admiration for one of the founders and
champions of their freedom. Every shout of
applause thus uttered for General LAFAYETTE
is a shout of defiance against the Ministers ;
and every libation poured to his health is a kind
of offering to the shades of arbitrary power. The
repetition of such scenes would have been
thought impossible about two mpnths ago:,

The letter of our Correspondent in Paris, and
the arrival of the French Papers of Sunday by
Express, indicate pretty clearly that a crisis is
approaching in the situation of affairs in that
country,—in short that the Ministry must yield
to public indignation, or that the liberty of the
press must be extinguished. No less than

four papers were seized at the Post-office on
Saturday—the Courier Francias--the Jour•
nal des Debats—the Constitutionnel and the
Figaro. Even the Government paper the Ga-
zette de France was seized, for copying the
resolutions of the Bretagne league. This
arbitrary act of the Government must give
a dangerous interest to a "question which
it would have been wiser policy to have
overlooked, or affected to treat with con-
tempt. But the die is cast, and the Ministry
must stand the hazard of its own precipitancy.
After this it must stand more firmly than be-
fore, or fall for ever.
The news from Odessa is, that General DIE-
BITSCH had set out for Constantinople two days
after he enteied Adrianople. If so, he has
reached the goal of his labours long ago. The
capture of Constantinople is the keystone of that
ambition which the unwearied policy of Russia
has been constructing for the last century—and
the work is now accomplished.

Hamburg Papers of the Bth inst. have been
received this morning. They contain no addi-
tional news from the seat of war, but the general
impression on the Exchange at Hamburg was in
favour of peace, grounded on the circumstance
of the Russian army having entered Adrianople.
The funds rose slightly in consequence :

LETTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST 17.
(BY .EXPRESS.)

After several Conferences of General Baron
Muffling with the Reis Effendi, arid in consequence
of the urgent representations of the Ambassadors
of England and France, the Sultan has been at
length persuaded to consent to send Commissioners
to the Russian head-quarters. The Grand Vizier
has already received orders to open negociations for
the restoration of peace between Russia and
Turkey. Among the Commissioners are, as we
hear, a Pacha, who took part in the negociations
at Akermaun, and Redschif Effendi, inspector of
the powder magazines, and agent of the Viceroy of
Egypt. General Muffling, who is accompanied by
Major Baron Von Buster, arid his aid-de-camp
Baron St. Clair, left Constantinople immediately
after the departure of the Commissioners for their
destination.

Dutch Papers of the 12th inst. contain no
news of interest. A change is to take place in
the Cabinet of the King of the NETHERLANDS,
by the retirement or dismissal of the Minister of
the .Marine and Colonies. Whether this is
likely to influence the policy of the Government
remains to be seen. The war in Batavia does
not appear to have prospered much under the
direction of the retiring Minister.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 9th September
contains some accounts of the activity displayed
by IBRAHIM PAcn A in the internal administra-
tion of all matters relative to the army and navy.
MEHEMET Au, it is said, has left every thing
to the management of his son, who superintends
the construction of batteries with the most unre-
mitting assiduity. The city is being fortified—
and the harbour of Aboukir is also receiving ad-
ditional works of defence. All these preparations
seem to indicate the apprehension of the coming
storm, which is at present overspreading the
Turkish empires A Pacha is said to have ar-
rived at Alexandria by command of the SULTAN,
to take charge of and convey the Turkish men-
of-war lying there to Constantinople ; but the
work of repair is proceeding so slowly as to im-
ply a foreknowledge on the part of MEHEMET
ALI that the vessels had better remain in his
own hands than fall into those of the Russians :
ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 27 AND 29.

The Journals contain the last report of General
Paskewitsch up to the 30th of July, but no farther
news from the armies either in Europe or Asia.
Prince Chosrew Mirza had an audience of the
Empress, on the 25th, at the Palace of Yelagnine.
ALEXANDRIA, JULY 11.

Ibrahim Paella has been here again for some days
past. It is astonishing with what zeal and activity
he directs the affairs of the Government. Mehemet
Ali has confided to him every thing relative to the
army and the navy, and the internal administration.
The conduct of persons in office is examined, and
where the smallest fraud or negligence is discovered,
he punishes the guilty with rigour. The arsenal
and the marine are especially objects of the attention
of the two Pachas; they intend to extend both.
The Pacha has said that in four years he will have
five large ships of the line built here. M. Cericy, a
French ship-builder from Toulon, who, with the
consent of his Government, has entered the Pasha's
service, has the superintendence of the arsenal; and
Gen. Letellier of the navy. The intention of sending
troops through Syria to Armenia is wholly given
up. The garrison of this city is about 5,000 regular
troops,infantry ; four days ago all the Tut kish soldiers
were called upon either to enrol themselves in the
regular troops, or to leave the country.
Our city assumes more and more an appearance of a
fortress; batteries are erected on every side, and se-
veral hundred men are constantly employed on
them% The harbour of Aboukir, too, is being forti-
fied. A Pacha lately arrived here, sent by the
Porte to take the command of the men of war be-
longing to the Sultan, which are lying here, and to
preceed with them to Constantinople. They are
therefore repairing, but very slowly, and it is not
likely they will soon leave our harbour. Trade is
at a stand—partly on account of the season, and
partly on account of the decreased consumption of ar-
ticles imported, in consequence of the poverty of the
inhabitants.

lIAMBURG, SEPT. 8.
BORSEN-HALLE, FOUR O'CLOCK.—The confirma-
tion of the entrance of the Russian army into
Adrianople, and the belief generally entertained of
the approaching return of peace, have slightly raised
the funds, which are not, however greatly in demand.
End of September.
Anglo-Danish Loan, 3 per cent
Anglo-Itussian Loan 914
Hantburg-Russian Loan 9l

Austrian Bank Shares 1153
Austrian Metalliques 99%

The accounts from Ornoa state that the
country was in a most distracted condition, and
that the San Salvadoreans committed an indis,
criminate plunder.

Advices from Washington state that the fol-
lowing notice had been issued by the Comptroller
of the United States, which is of some import-
ance to the merchants When a package con-
tains articles of different qualities and prices, those

of a like quality and price ought certainly to be
sepaittely expressed in the invoice, instead of the
whole being cipressed at an average rate. The
practice, therefore, of making out invoices in
which goods of different qualities and prices are
extended at an average rate must be discontinued."

Lisbon Gazettes from 31st August to sth
September, both inclusive, contain no news of
any kind. The expedition against Terceira
is not mentioned. The Gazette of the 31st
notices the arrival of the Portuguese yacht
Senhora tla Conciegao e Almas, from the
Island of St. Michael in fourteen days, with the
mail. No other arrival from the Islands mentioned.

Extract of a letter from Havannah, dated
July 30 :

" The only information we have re:pecting the expedi-
tion is, that the fleet was spoken with on the 10th inst,
25 miles north of Sissel, steering west. There is no
doubt they are to go direct to Vera Cruz, and if unsuc-
cessful then they are to return to Qunpeachy, and tale
possession of Yucatan."

The following communication we received
this morning from our private correspondent at
Paris :

" PARIS, SEPT. 13.

" I am glad that I succeeded yesterday in pro-
curing a copy for you of the Anti-Ministerial
Resolutions from Brittany, which have assumed
a very high degree of importance from the extra-
ordinary and unwarrantable measures adopted by
the Ministry for their suppre'ssion. Since my
letter of yesterday was despatched four other
papers have been seized at the Post-office, be-
cause they contained the whole or some part of
this obnoxious manifesto, viz., the Courier
Francais, the Journal des Debats, the Consti-
tutionnel and the Figaro. The Gazette, on
this occasi sn, appears to have been playing a
very singular game ; although professionally the
official organ of the Cabinet, it contained, in its
first edition of yesterday, the whole of the
Britannic Resolutions, with a commentary, which
did not, however, save it from seizure by the
police. A first edition is printed for town cir-
culation, and a second for the department. In
the second edition of yesterday the Gazette re-
printed the Resolutions, which produced a re-
newal of the seizure at the Post-office ; and al-
though this second edition must be ready for
distribution by two o'clock, and was really
published yesterday at that time, it announced
the seizure of the Courier, the Journal des De-
bats, the Constitutionnel, and the Figaro, al-
though these seizures did not take place till five
o'clock in the afternoon. I had anticipated a
defence for this proceeding of the Ministry, on
the supposition that it was merely at the Post-
office that these measures had been taken ; and
that they might think themselves justified in re-
fusing to allow one of the public departments
under their controul to become the medium for
the dissemination of matter so offensive as the
Manifesto from Brittany. In this hypothesis,
however, I was mistaken. I find that the Com-
missaries of Police have been paying domiciliary
visits to all the printing offices of the daily press,
and have there been seizing every copy which
could be found of the paper, which has excited
so much ministerial indignation. The Editor
of the Constitutionnel complains that his only
remaining proof was carried away, although he
protested that it would be necessary in the pre-
paration of his defence—all the journals having
already been cited before the tribunal of Cor-
rectional Police. In these circumstances, and
under the existing law of France, which professes
to guarantee the liberty of the press, it is not
easy to see how this measure can be supported.
" Letters from Pera of the 16th of August,
received in Paris this morning, announce that
the Turkish Commissioners had received orders
to set out immediately for the Russian head-
quarters. It is believed, however, that great
difficulties must intervene before peace can be
concluded ; although for the moment Constanti-
nople was still enjoying a state of repose. It is
indeed extraordinary that the Turkish Govern-
ment
should so long remain unenlightened by
its ftverses, persisting as it still does in the be-
belief that it is entitled to dictate the conditions
of peace. It is said that the Commissioners are
directed to insist on the evacuation of the Ot-
toman territory, the surrender of the fortresses
in the hands of the Russians, and the integrity
of the empire, with the exception of the Mores
and the Cyclades, the independence of which
the Porte consents to recognize under the con••
dition of receiving the accustomed tribute. At
this price the Porte will execute the treaties of
Akermann, and open the Bosphorus to the
Russian commerce. If such instructions have
been given, they seem to afford little chance of
success to the Ottoman Commissioners ; but it
is to be presumed that the continued advance of
the Russians must by this time have opened the
eyes of the Sultan.

" A later letter from Pera announces that the
Grand Vizier had received orders to treat with
General Diebitsch, on the basis of accommoda-
tion which General Muffling was charged to
present to the Turkish Government, and it is
said that the Prussian envoy was in consequence
preparing to return to Malta.
4, They write from Vienna that Count Bul-
garia, the Russian Councillor of State, had
left that capital for St. Pctersburgh. The
Prussian Envoy, M. de Malzalm, had arrived at
Dresden from Vienna.

In letters from Lisbon of the 29th Au-
gust, it is said that the communications be-
tween London and Rio, and between London
and Lisbon, are extremely frequent.
The French commerce in the Mediterra-
nean seems to be still under the necessity of
being protected by ships of war against the Al-
gerine corsairs. By a letter from Marseilles
this morning, I observe that a convoy of nine-
teen sail had just left that harbour to pass the
Straits of Gibraltar ; and the brig Snelheid,
Captain Linden, had arrived at Marseilles from
Rotterdam on the 6th of September, stating,
that it had met a convoy of about thirty sail,
escorted by two corvettes and a brig, supposed
to be French, steering eastward."
