FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal des Debuts.)
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
" MADRID, Aua. 22.—Merino, tile Clergyman
whom Recacho kept under the surveillance of the
police, has taken advantage of the deprivation of
this Minister; to regain his liberty. He has gone to
Alcarria, a province in which, since the death of
fie,iieres, the Carlos party has always maintained
the same influence. _

" The report of the Captain-General of Saragossa
states, that the part of Lower Arragon which is
connected with Navarre is overrun by two parties of
Carlists from Catalonia. In regard to this province
its condition becomes daily more critical: yet the
Marquis de Campo Sagrado has not hitherto re-
ceived more troops than 400 infantry, and 200 ca-
valry, which he has placed at Alataro, to keep this
town in subjection. The number of troops which,
up to the present time, are on the march for Cata-
lonia, cannot be reckoned at above 1,600 men, al-
though it would require 8,000 to undertake the pa-
cification of this provipee with any chance of suc-
cess.
" The Government which the Carlists have
created has its seat at Vich ; and although the Pre-
sident of this Government, which is but a junta,
like that of Urgol, has not been ostensibly named,
every body believes that it is the Marquis de Meta- •
florida who is the chief of this Carlist junta. It has
published a proclamation, or, more properly, a spe-
cies of manifesto, explanatory of the motives which
have impelled the inhabitants of Catalonia to take
arms. Never will they lay them down,' it is said,
until the police shall be abolished, and the Inquisi-
tion re-established.
" Calomarde has created a department, attached
to the Minister of Grace and Justice, denominated
the Section of Police.' It is charged. with the
duties heretofore confided to Recacho.
Zorilla, Chief of Madrid and its province, is
employed in putting in force the old police order,
whereby all the officers and servants of the Con-
stitutional Government were required to remove to
a distance of 26 leagues from Madrid. More than
10,000 persons will be affected by this measure, so
scrupulously is it carried. into effect by M. Zorilla,
according to his threat.
" Recacho had directed a great number of legal
proceedings on account of political opinions to be
suspended. M. Zorilla has revived them, and has
already caused several persons to be arrested whom
M. Recacho had suffered to remain peaceably in
their homes.
" The Duke de San Carlos appears to have lost
some of his influence : it is certain, at least, that he
does not visit the King so often as he used to do.
" A vast number of travelling carriages have been
in requisition this morning for St. Ildefonso. All
the members of the Council of State must be there
to-morrow to meet the King, who will preside. A
note of Mr. Lamb, requiring some information in
regard to the troaWes in CAtalonial and the um-
-- • .

sures taken by the Government to repress them,
seems likely to be the object which has occasioned
this extraordinary conference.
(Frain the Constitutionial.)
(EXTRACT OP ANOTHER PRIVATE LETTER.)
• " MADRID, AUG. 26.-11 is asserted that his Ex-
cellency the Duke del Infantado has been one of the
foremost to express his joy at the overthrow of the
police, and that he loudly manifested it in the Coun-
cil of State, observing—' Since so zealous a Royalist
as M. Zorilla has been selected to govern Madrid,
we may sleep in tranquillity. Divine Providence
has spared Europe great evils by the death of Mr.
Canning, and Spain great misfortunes by the fall of
M. Recacho.'
" Amongst the crowds of people who forced Re-
cacho to seek refuge in the corps de garde at the
Post-office, were the Marquis de Cardenax, wearing
his order of Charles III.; General Checa; M. Ga-
les, Commandant of the artillery of the Royalist
volunteers of Madrid ; M. Urbistondo, chief in the
office of the Minister of War, and an officer in that
militia ; the Advocate Cabia, and many other first.
rate Apostolicals.
" A caricature has. been circulated by the Apos.
tolicals here, which represents Don Miguel in the
costume of his warlike patron (St. Michael); he is
falling, sword in hand, upon a legion of diabolical
genii, who represent the Portuguese Constitu-
tionalists ; the latter are flying from the destructive
blows of their adversary. Don Pedro, in the cha-
racter of an agent of Lucifer, is making fruitless
efforts to lead them back to combat. St. Peter,
with the keys of Heaven in his hand, is inviting
Don Miguel, with great earnestness, to enter Para-
dise; but the latter, in a style perfectly heroic, re-
plies—' No, great Saint, I will not enter till I have
made an end of these scoundrels.'

" PARIS, AUG. 30.—The night before last, a
pamphlet was seized, by order of Government, en-
titled " Historical Account of the Funeral of M.
Manuel, late Deputy of La Vendee." It contains
the speeches delivered at his grave, by M. Lafitte,
Member of the Chamber of Deputies, by General
Lafayette, of the same chamber, and by Al. de
Schonen, Counsellor of the Cour Royale, of Paris.

(From the Gazette de France dated Sept. 1.)

" TRIESTE, AUG. 20.—Letters from Corfu, dated
the sth, say that Lord Cochrane fell in, on the Ist
of this month, with a division of the Turkish fleet off
Zante, and attacked it with such impetuosity that
the Turks were oblige to fly, leaving eight men of
war in his hands. On the 2d, Lord Cochrane sailed
with his prizes for Castel Tornese. The St. George
brio., commanded by his Lordship's nephew, was
ordered to give chase to the Turkish ships in their
flight, and i" possible to take possession of them. It is
presumed that they have sought refuge in Patras.—
This fortunate event will probably raise the courage
of the Greek marine, and revive the confidence of
the Greeks in Lord Cochrane.
" MADRID, AUG. 20.—1 t is believed that the
Duke of San Carlos will set out for Paris at the be-
ginning of September. The greatest tranquillity
prevails at Madrid. The assemblages of the popu-
lace which took leave on the departure of M. Re-
cacho, would have been of no consequence had there
not been some persons of importance, and who are
well known, among the rioters.
" AUGUST 22.—A report has been circulated of
the arrival of Don Pedro at Lisbon. This news has
caused no sensation.

" The Council of State has been very much en-
gaged for some days past : it sits six hours every
day : frequent couriers are despatched from Madrid
to the Royal residence.
" By the King's order 6,000 men are now on
their march to Catalonia ; the troubles in that pro-
vince need not excite any serious alarm; but it is
necessary that the discontented, under whatever
banners they range themselves,---and we suspect
here more than one revolutionist among the
Agraveados—should lose the habit of carrying on war.
Three thousand men would have sufficed to restore
order: the Spanish Government, however, has
acted with prudence in sending a greater number.
" The death of
pected, has made a very' great sensation here;
whoever may be his successor, it is impossible that
the policy of England should not he modified.
" PARIS, AUG. 31.-IVe have reason to believe
that the exhibition of the production of the French
manufactures will remain open during the whole of
the month of September. It is said that his Ma..
jesty has given ground to hope that he would him-
self preside at the distribution of the rewards granted
to the manufacturers who have the most distinguished
themselves. There is not one but will appreciate
this favour, which will render the honourable dis-
tinctions they shall have obtained by their useful
labours doubly valuable in their eyes."

DUTCH AND HAMBURGH PAPERS.
NEWS OF THE ARMY IN GEORGIA.

ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 15.—General Paske-
witsch, after leaving a detachment under Lieut.-
General Krapovsky to occupy the Monastery of
Etchmiadzine, and to observe the Fortress of Erivan,
marched on the 21st of June (3d July), with the
rest of his troops to Nakkitchevan, where he hap-
pily arrived on the 26th June with his vanguard and
the Ist division. The 2d divison arrived there on
the 27th June, and marched; on the Ude towards
Abas Abad. Thus, in spite of the excessive heat,
which was 43 deg. (129 deg. Fahrenheit) in the
sun, and from 30 to 33 deg. in the shade, the troops
arrived at Nakkitchevan in six days. Except in the
last day, they were not molested by the enemy,
when detachments of 1,500 or 2,000 me,.l, observed
our motions at the distance of about 20 wersts (13
miles). On the 24th June (6th July), a corps of
about 1,500 of the enemy's horse was seen on the
other side of the Araxes, marching along the bank
of the river, and which, at the mouth of the Ar-
pachal, turned to the right by the road of Makin, as
well as another corps of 300 horse. On the 26th
(Sth July) 3,000 of the enemy's cavalry, command-
ed by Hassan Khan and Naghi Khan, were seen on
the other side of the Araxes.
Lieut.-General Prince Eristoff, with the regiment
of dragoons of Nesling Novgorod; two companies
of Cossacks, the Georgian Militia, and four pieces of
horse artillery, advanced towards the Araxes, which
he found it impossible to pass on account of its
great depth; but the enemy's cavalry, being at no
great distance, some discharges of artillery shot,
great
directed, obliged it to disperse, after having
had some men killed.
The inhabitants remaining in the mountains, to
the left of the road, forming all above 2,000 in
fa-
milies, have submitted to his Majesty the Emperor,
and not only not a gun was fired on our right, but
we were able to purchase 1,000 head 9f oxen, and
the inhabitants brought various provisions to the
camp for sale.l
On the 24th June (6th July) the Chiefs of the
Tartars who inhabit the banks of the river Bour-
gouschet, on the south frontier of Karabagh, as well
as those of the Karapapaklis, waited on General
Paskewitsch, begging him to place them under the
protection of the Emperor; the General immediately
gave safeguards to the former, and appointed for
Vekeil, or Chief of the latter, Mahomet Aga, the
competitor of Naghi Khan, who, with one half the
tribe, remains with Hassan Khan.—Journal of St.
Pet ersburgh, Aug. 16.
BERLIN, AUG. 26.—The latest official account
from the Persian frontiers announces a considerable
advantage gained the 17th July, by General Paske-
witsch.

His first operation was to besiege Shas Abad.
During this he learned that Abbas Mirza, united with
the Schop, at the head of 40,000 men, was advanc-
ing to raise the siege; that Hassan Khan, with his
cavalry, was advancing from Scharlour, and the Ge-
neral resolved to go to meet the enemy. The Russians
leaving a few troops before Abas Abad, marched
with eight battalions and all the cavalry from the
camp of Nakkachevan ; the infantry passed the

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1827.

His MAJESTY will hold a Council at Windsor
this day, when it is expected Mr. Husmssow
will receive the seals of the Colonial Office, Mr.
HERRIES those of the Exchequer, and Mr.
CHAS. GRANT be appointed Treasurer of the
Navy, and President of the Board of Trade.
• We shall not, until those appointments have ac-
tually taken place, do more than offer our
hearty congratulations to the country, that by
the special and gracious interference of his
LWAJESTY, all the difficulties which had arisen in
carrying this arrangement into effect have been
happily obvilted, and the country been thereby
saved from the evils which even expected change
of Ministry would have entailed upon it. The
liberal policy which has guided his MA-
JESTY'S Councils will now be maintained in
fidl vigour, and we may confidently antici-
pate that a Ministry, composed as the Ad-
ministration will be—will possess the confidence
of the SOVEREIGN and the people, and will ad-
vance the honour and general interests of the
empire.

In another column will be found extracts from
the Paris Papers of Friday, and the Gazette de
France, dated Saturday morning. The latter
contains a letter from Trieste, dated the 20th
ult., which states, on the authority of advices
from Corfu, that Lord COCHRANE, on the Ist
of August, obtained a decisive victory over the
Turkish fleet, off Zante, which left eight of their
ships of war in his hands.
The accounts from Spain and Portugal are of
the same character as all the intelligence which
has recently reached us from thence. Reports
were circulated at Madrid Of the arrival of Don
PEDfto at Lisbon, but we know by later accounts
that there was no foundation for those reports.

We understand that an express has arrived
from Paris this morning, by which it is learnt
that the 3 per Cents. closed On Saturday night
at 73f. 20c. We have not, however, yet re-
ceived any Papers.

Brussels Papers to the Ist inst. and the Age-
gemeine Zeilung to the 26th ult. have also
reached us. They announce the closing of the
Hungarian Diet on the 18th ult. and the ratifi-
cation of the Concordat between the Holy See
and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which was
officially published on the 29th ult.

His Majesty's packet, Sandwich, has arrived
with a Lisbon mail, having sailed from
the Tagus
on the 11th ult. The following are extracts of
Lisbon Gazettes, received by this opportunity :

" MANUEL ANTONIO DE CARVALHO."

AUGUST The Infanta Regent, in the name of the
King, desiring to prove the interest she feels in the main-
tenance of the public cred►t, orders that thirty contos of
Reis shall be paid out of the public treasury to the Com-
missioners for paying the interest of the Royal Loans, ac-
cording to the law which the said Commissioners (Junta
des Jams) lent to the Treasury in compliance with the
notice of the 31st of March, 1826.

lassort, AUG. 10.—Her Royal Highness the Infanta
Regent arrived at Coimbra on the 7th instant ; and we are
happy to say that her valuable health is greatly improved.

His IVlajesty's packet brig Kangaroo has ar-
rived with a mail from Jamaica, having sailed
from thence on the 10th July, and from Crooked
Island on the 21st.

We received last night Dutch Papers to the
lst inst. and Hamburgh Papers to the 29th ult.
They contain accounts of the operations of the
Russian Army in Persia, in which the advan-
tage is claimed for the Russians; but it is their
own account. Extracts of these Papers are
given in another column.

Frankfort papers of the 27th August came to
hand this morning, from which the following are
extracts. The intelligence contained in these
papers, from Constantinople, repeats the former
accounts of the great activity with which the
organization of the Turkish land and marine
forces is proceeding.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.
Perfect tranquillity prevails in this capital, as well as
great activity in the organization and exercise of Turkish
land and marine forces. Couriers are received and dis-
patched almost daily by the European Ambassadors, The
Ottoman Ministry has consultations almost every day. The
Turkish Egyptian squadron has been seen near Candia, and
will probably direct its course either to Hydra or Napoli di
Romania. Two Greek ships were lately sequestrated in
the Dardanelles one of them was from Saxtorino ; the
other from Mikone. They were under Russian colours,
but were not provided with the usual papers in the pre-
scribed form—but merely with a pass given by the Consul
of another nation, who had no authority to do so. The
Russian Minister, M. de Ribeaupierre, has recognised the
sequestration as valid, and caused the Russian flag to be
taken from the two vessels, which have been found also to
have hitherto exercised piracy. The ships have been
brought to the arsenal, and the crews lodged in the prison
of the galley-slaves. Three other ships are said to have
been detained in the Dardanelles a few days ago.

SWITZKRUAND, AU4. 21.
At the end of the Sitting on the 16th, the President of
the Diet declared the Session terminated; he gave a review
of its labours, and applauded the excellent spirit that had
prevailed.

The Naples Journal of the 13th, and the
Diario di Roma of the 14th inst., have reached
us this forenoon, from which the following are
