FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Moniteur of Friday.)
PARIS, JULY 9.—The German journals do ,not
bring us any interesting news from the theatre of
war. However, we must soon receive important
particulars of the consequences of the victory at
Pravadi, which was so glorious to the Russian army.
Among the causes which have always troubled the
Turkish empire, and increased its weakness, must
be reckoned the divisions among the several Pachas,
and the jealousies which they inspire. It is stated
that the reason which has hindered the Pacha of
pt from sending troops into Armenia, is not
on y the plague, but the manifest intention of the
Pacha of St. Jean d'Acre to oppose the passage of
the Egyptian troops.
(From the Journal du Commerce of July 10.)
PARIS, JULY 9.—lt is said that the Directors of
the Bank have adjourned indefinitely their decision
on the reduction of the rate of discount.
The Journal du Havre contains the following

article:—
" We learn by a sure channel, from one of our
correspondents in the Azores themselves, that on
the 22d of June several ships, among which was the
English schooner the Exquisite, succeeded in land-
ing at Terceira the distinguished persons who had
embarked at I-lavre and England, to reinforce the
Constitutional party in that faithful island. On the
receipt of this news St. Michael revolted against
the Miguelite garrison, even in the presence of the
ships forming the blockading squadron, and the
standard of Donna Maria is probably now hoisted
at that important place."
(From the Constitutionnel.)
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTINGS OF JULY 9.
The discussion of the project of a law for opening
an eventual credit for fifty-two millions (francs), for
the service of 1829, was the Order of the Day.
General LAFAYETTE professed to leave to other
orators the care of entering into details that were
more suitable to them than to him. He did not
see, in the great quarrel of the East, any thing more
t the importance of an intermediate State in
what is called the balance of power in Europe.—
There was a vast and powerful league, which de-
sired to command and brutalize the human species.
It had oppressed Italy, devastated the Peninsula,
and had disturbed other States. Its chief seat is
Vienna, and Don Miguel its ideal type. England
has pretended to set up another system, but it was
only to lure States to their ruin. It was the busi-
ness of France to place herself at the head of civili-
zation—her glory, her interest, and her ambition re-
quired it ; but to fulfil this noble destiny, it was ne-
cessary that the Government should determine not
to fear either a nation represented or a nation arm-
ed ; and renouncing old connections, it should say
to foreign Powers, " After God, it is to the French
people that I am indebted for being placed above
your influence and beyond your pretensions," The
Greeks took up arms to free themselves from the
tribute they paid to the Turks—to reconstruct their
Government, and to govern themselves. The
Protocol reimposed the tribute, left a large part of
Greece out of its dominions, and to govern the re-
mainder, they were to seek a Prince, who would be
the Hospodar both to the East and the West, in
whom the Greeks would only see a vassal to the
Porte, and an additional tribute to pay. This
might suit the views of England and Russia, but
not France, who must desire to have a powerful na-
tion as a barrier to the ambition both of the con-
queror and the merchants. On this subject, expla-
nations were required. In condemning the con-
duct of the French Ministry in giving up Galotti,
the General asked if Don Miguel came with the de-
cision of a Court in his hands against the Portuguese
refugees—would they believe a man who, in the
Palace of the King, murdered with his own hand, the
Marquis of Loule—would they believe Don Miguel
and his Judges ?
General SEBASTIAN! complained that the old
Ministry had bequeathed the country a miserable in-
heritance of political faults, and to repair them was
the first duty of its predecessors. The uneasiness
he had twice manifested in the Chamber of Depu-
ties relative to Greece, was well founded. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs would say, that the Pro-
tocol signed at London was tine necessary conse-
quence of the Treaty signed at London, which re-
served the right of sovereignty in chief to the Porte,
and the right of tribute. That Treaty was set on
foot by England, who wished to take from Russia
every pretext for war, and to weaken as little as
possible the Ottoman empire. Russia, by consent-
ing to the Treaty, secured the neutrality of England
and France, and continued in Greece a diversion
that was useful to its projects on the Danube. In
the Protocol there was nothing but obscurity and
incoherence; and it seemed as if it had been drawn
up to render any treaty impossible. The Turks
said that only the sword could take away what the
sword had given; and the battle of Navarin and
the occupation of the Morea were the only argu-
ments they understood. If the Contracting Powers
wished for the liberation of Greece, they would
have facilitated the conquest of the land to the south
of the line mentioned in the Protocol, and would
have negociated a long truce with the Porte, which
might have been done. But we cannot believe in
the sincerity of these Powers. At London and
Paris the tergiversations had been the same, and
political principles had been proclaimed and aban-
doned. An English army was sent to Portugal, to
protect the rights of DOII Pedro and his daughter;
it soon went back to England, abandoning the men
who had supported the cause, and even shooting at
them at Terceira, where they went to seek an asy-
lum, in a corner of the earth still faithful to the So-
vereign, whose cause had not been embraced by the
Cabinet of St. James's.
PORTALIS replied to General Sebastiani, and
complained of his being obliged to keep silence
on subjects on which they, knowing nothing,
would talk at hazard. The protocol, he said, if it
exist ed, contained the secret instructions given to
the Plenipotentiaries sent to Turkey, which he could
not explain. He contended that they would be
found in strict conformity with the Treaty of the
6th of July. If the Porte should persist in refusing
conciliatory propositions, that would call a new
series of events into existence. There was no com-
parison between an independent Prince and an Hos•
podar, who was the temporary creature of the
Sultan. After a long discussion, in which M. Mar-
tignac and M. B. Constant, with other Deputies,
took part, the further discussion of the question of
credit was adjourned at six o'clock.
