FRENCH PAPERS.
(F'ron► the Gazette de France, Jan. 11.)

BERLIN, JAN. I.—Duke Eugene of Wurtem-
burg, who lately commanded near the Kamts-
chik, has arrived at Carlsruhe, in Silesia, on his
return from St. Petersburgh, to which city he was
summoned after the death of the Empress Maria
Feodorowna. During the campaign he commanded
the 7th corps; but it was only provisionally, while
his Majesty was with the army. On his departure
he gave up the command to Lieutenant-General
Rudiger; though, according to authentic informa-
tion, it was only a small corps that had been assem-
bled near Kamtschik, while the greater part remained
before Shumla. Genera! Roth, before the army left
the environs of Shumla, united under his command
all the troops of the 6th and 7th corps that have re-
mained in Bulgaria, and had posted there in Varna,
Paravadi, Cos, Lendschi, and Bazardjik ; and it
seems that in case of an attack, which is improbable,
he has sufficient force to repel it.
EGINA, OCT. 30 (Nov. 11).—The Commander-
in-Chief has addressed' the following Proclamation
to the Chiliarchs and officers of the army :
" All our wishes are at length going to be ful-
filled. The momer►t is come when we are to march
to the aid of our unfortuuate countrymen in the east
part of our continent. The great causes which
have hitherto deferred our march are well known.
They oppressed us with grief, but evety effort to
conquer them would have been vain.
" Eternal glory to the beneficent monarchs of
Europe, they have at length delivered the Peninsula
from the Arabs; Encouraged Ly the first proofs of
their great kindness, we do not doubt that the whole
continent of Greece will soon experience its effects.
The inhabitants of this country have been obliged to
submit for a time to their dreadful situation ; hut
they have never ceased to sacrifice their blood in the
common cause, during the many years that they
have continually suffered by the ravages and the in-
cursions of the barbarians.

" If we desire, however, to attract the kindness
of the august Sovereigns to these countries, ire must
first act ourselves with the purest intentions, in the
best order, and as far as the feeble resources of thi.
nation will permit.
" Such is the nature of the strugßle which we ale
about to recommence.

" Thanks to his Excellency the President, we
have hitherto been relieved by the resources of the
public Treasury, we have been supplied with every
thing necessary, and we cannot doubt that this wise
foresight will continue to provide for our wants.
" Let us, filled with lively gratitude for the pater-
nal care of his Excellency, and under his auspices,
sharpen our arms, and follow implicitly our patrio-
tic ardour. Let us prove to the whole nation our
zeal and devotedness in every thing that may con-
tribute to deliver the other provinces of Greece from
the worst of tyrannies.
"The march of the army will commence on Wed-
nesday the 24th inst. (Nov. 5) IS2B.

ST. PETERSBURGH PAPERS

ST. PETERSBURGH, DEC. 24,—The following ex.
tract of a letter from Bokhura, of a late date, has
been communicated to us :

" According to the latest accounts from Central
Asia, it seems that the love of pillage, which is
natural to the Usbecks, has caused a misunder-
standing between Bucharia and Khira. The So-
vereigns of Maveralnahar, Kokund, &c. cannot
establish a soiid peace among them. Tranquillity,
which is never of long continuance, is always the
result of the weakness caused by the sanguinary
quarrels, originating in the pillage cominitted by the
Usbecks, who never could be kept in check except
by a foreign force, such as that of the Schahs of
Persia, Abbas and Nadir. By their civilization and
their military force, the Usbecks of Bucharia have
always preserved a very marked preponderance and
moral influence over the people, who have common
origin with them—the latter always look upon Bu-
charia with fear, but on some unfortunate occasions it
has served them as an asylum. Emir Haidar, the late
Khan, a good pacific Prince, preferred tranquillityto
the pomp of victory, and contented himself with,
punishing the banditti who from time to time made:
incursions into his territory. Batyr, one of his sons,
seems to differ entirely from him in this respect—
his warlike and and enterprising character inflames
the hearta of his Usbecks, by holding out Khorasem
as the first object of conquest. During the autumn
he declared war against the Khivans, who had hi
-
them possessed the town of Murra. No doubt is
entertained of the success of his arms, for Allakal,
the present Khan of Khiva, is weak, and deficient
in courage, besides his power is lessened by a mis-
understanding between his brother and himself.
The Bucharian army has already laid waste a num-
ber of Kirivan villages. Allakal, relying on the just-
ness of his cause, has sent an ambassador to Batyr
Khan, to inquire thereasoas of this irruption into h.s
states; but the ambassador has been detained, and
the Bucharians have received orders to renew their
incursions into Khiva, at the same time Batyr Khan
has sent a detachment of his army into the Steppes,
to protect the Barbarian caravans coming from
Russia from any attack by the Khivans.
" On the other hand, the Usbecks of Khiva envy
their brethren of Kokand, whose territory has been
considerably aggrandised by the rich commercial
house of Turkestan (in Ta:ras) and Tashkent. The
Kirghis subjects of the Khan of Khiva, «ho live
aloNg the river Sir-Darla, have assembled in consi-.
derable force, penetrated into Kokand, put a great
number of the inhabitants to the sword, and returned
home with immense booty."
PETERSBURGH, DEC. 27.—We learn from Troitsk
that between the .sth arid 16th of November, a cara-
van left that place for Bucharia; it consisted ofi
2,667 camels, laden with merchandise, to the
amount of 393,054 rubies.

The port of Revatvas closed by the ice on the
night of the 6th of December, and that of Pernan on
the 7th of November.

THE HAGUE, JAN. B. It is reported that the
Swiss regiments in the service of the Netherlan&'

ROTTERDAM, J.tN. 9.—We hear that his Majesty
has directed his Ambassador in London to apply to
the British Government, for permission for Mr. FL
Kessels to import into England, blid to bring away
again, free of duty, the celebrated whale (ceught'
on the coast of the Netherlands), because he intends-
fa exhibit there this giant of creation, in conformity
with the especial and flattering advice of his Royal-
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who went to see.
the whale when he was at Brussels.
