LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1829.

The French Papers of Saturday have been
received. They state that FERDINAND has re-
cognised his brother MIGUEL, as a Legitimate
Usurper :

(From the Quotidienne of Saturday.)
PARIS, OCT. 16.—Spain has just recognized Don
Miguel as the legitimate sovereign of Portugal. This news
is certain. We have just received the official notice of it
from Madrid. It was worthy of the King, and an ex-
ample which we cannot but believe will be soon followed
by all the other great powers of Europe.

(SECOND EDITION.)
The Agram Journal of the 3d of October contains the
following from the frontiers of Bosnia, of 24th Sept. :
" The Vizier of Bosnia has received from the Pacha of
Scutari, who is already on the march with his troops, or-
ders to proceed with his forces in Bosnia to Adrianop►e.
which is also the destination of the Pacha of Scutari. The
Vizier of Bosnia will commence his march en the 28th,
and has summoned the militia, which, however, has re-
fused to obey him. Notwithstanding, the Vizier will set
off on the appointed day, with his guards and household
troops, amounting to 300 men. He has already appointed
his Caimacan."

German Papers to the 14th instant have been
received. They contain an interesting account
of experiments made at Stockholm, with gun-
boats towed by a steam-boat, which clearly illus-
trates the advantages of the tug system :

ST. GALLEN, IN SWITZERLAND, OCT. 6.
We have received the most afflicting accounts of
the inundations, which have almost entirely ruined
the valleys of Misox and Calanka, where the Moisa
and the Celancasea, swelled by the torrents, have
caused dreadful ravages. Grono is almost wholly
destroyed. At Rogoredo, a river now flows in the
place where a few days ago stood the church of
St. Sebastian and many fine lisbitations. At
Caneo, where the waters threatened to swallow up
every thing, the clergyman, with his parishioners,
assembled in the church, had given up all hopes of
escape, and recited the prayers for the dead. How-
ever, only one young man was drowned.
On the 20th September the waters again threat-
ened the communications between Coire arid St.
Gallen, on the frontiers of the Grisons, but the efforts
of the inhabitants of Roga►tz still kept them within
bounds. At the very moment of danger the Go-
vernment of St. Gallen sent M. Held, one of the
judges, to the spot. Some days later, M. Saylern,
Couasellor, and M. Baumgartner, Secretary of
State, visited the whole frontier line, in order to
adopt such measures as may seem necessary, in con-
cert with the Government of the Grisons.-
STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 22.
The little squadron, which sailed a few weeks ago
for the purpose of exercise, returned at the beginning
of last week, the result having proved highly satisfac-
tory. The usefulness of small boats for the defence
of the coast was confirmed. The guns on board
them can be fired with extraordinary accuracy and
rapidity,7viz., three times in two minutes. It was
also observed that these small vessels keep the sea
well in stormy weather, and are easily managed.
The experiments made with these boats have fully
succeeded; a single steam-boat drew after it 32
gun boats, and towed half a German mile (two and
a half English miles) in an hour, with a quite con-
trary wind; it drew 16 gun-boats, for four miles
(20 English), and advanced about three and a quarter
English miles in an hour. In this exercise a new
system of manoeuvring was tried and adopted.
Though it rained incessantly from the Ist to the
15th September, the Crown Prince was present,
and directed all the manoeuvres. Count Pahlen,
Governor-General of Norway, with Admirals Kron-
stailt, Coyet, and Klint, were in the suite of the
Crown Prince. The squadron consisted of two di-
visions of small and two of large boats, two vessels
for the Commanders, one for the pupils of the mili-
tary school, one for reconnoitreing, two transports,
the Norwegian corvette, Alsen, and the Swedish brig
Dolphin. The crews of all these vessels amounted
to 1,163 men.

VIENNA, OCT. G.
A Russian and an Austrian courier have been dis-
patched to-day to St. Petersburgh. A French courier
arrived from Paris.

The following is from an Paris Correspondent.
We would make some comments, but we have

not space to-day :

" PARIS, OCT. 17.
" While you are all exclaiming in London
at the exorbitancy of the demands of the Empe-
ror Nicholas, it appears by letters from Constan-
tinople of the 27th of September, that the Franks
at Pera arc astonished at his generosity and mo-
deration. They think with you, however, that
there is still something behind—some secret ar-

tides which do not appear in this first chapter
of the treaty ; but they seem to be led to such a
supposition, not by any thing which has yet
transpired inconsistent with the moderation which
has unifounly been professed by the Russians,
but merely from a general and abstract incredu-
lity, originating in what I fear is little better
than a libel on human nature in general. It is

thought that, because the Emperor of Russia
stands for the moment on the vantage-ground of
recent victory, he will be so blind to the true in-

tePest a his empi?e, as to seek for advantages
and territorial aggrandizement, which it is clear
he could only maintain by setting England,
France, and Austria at defiance. For my part,
I continue, with great submission to the argu-
ments so ably and so energetically stated in The
Sun, to be of the opinion I ventured to com-
municate on the first telegraphic announcement
of the treaty, and 1 am persuaded that the only
serious danger to be apprehended is the remote
contingency arising from the possession by the
Russians of the territories, which it is said are
to be impignorated as a security for the ultimate
payment of the indemnity. That, however, is
a danger which might surely be obviated by the
interposition of the great Powers, whose inte-
rest it is to maintain that nice equilibrium which
the possession of the Principalities by Russia, or
at least the eventual overthrow of the Turkish
empire, might be sufficient to disturb ; and this,
as I hinted in a former letter, might be accom-
plished, either by prompt payment of the stipu-
lated indemnity, or by the substitution of a gua-
rantee for the territorial security which is said to
form the subject of one of the forthcoming chap-
ters of the treaty. The letters from Pera, how •
ever, seem to point to a different quarter for the
subject of the secret articles which are still sup-
posed to be held in retentis. Their object is
believed to be the demolition of Silistria, and of
the fortifications of Shumla. It is added, that
the frigate Raphael is to be restored to the Rus-
sians, and that the Turkish fleet is never for the
future to pass the Bosphorus, thus leaving to the
Russians the exclusive right of maintaining a
fleet of ships of war in the Black Sea, of which
they would thus be the sole masters. If there
were any truth in this supposition, it would
leave room for' a much more serious imputation
against the motives of Russia than any which
has yet appeared, since it would deprive the
Porte of the means of effectual resistance against
any future invasion of its territory. It is be-
lieved at Pera, that towards the middle of Octo-
ber a new Russian Ambassador would arrive at

Constantinople, and the Count de Pahlen, one
of the negotiators of the treaty, is mentioned as
the person who will probably be appointed. The
Count de Guilleminot, the French Ambassador,
is said to have sustained many marks of cold-
ness on the part of the Ministers of the Sultan,
who thus expressed their discontent at the in-
tractability of this diplomatist in the course of
the late negotiations.
" It is stated in last night's Gazette, that the
treaty which has appeared in the London Papers,
and which was signed at Adrianople on the 14th of
September, is not the definitive treaty, inasmuch
as de Royer, the Prussian Minister, had ob-
tained modifications of it, even after its signa-
ture by the Grand Seignor, and as it is gene-
rally believed that the Emperor of Russia would
consent to further modifications on its arrival at
St. Petersburgh.
" The severity of the measures adopted by the
French Ministry against the promulgators of the

Association in Brittany, for providing mutual
protection to its members against the payment
of taxes not sanctioned by the law, has not had
the effect of preventing similar associations from
being formed in different parts of the kingdom,
and even in the capital itself. For the purpose
of anticipating the objection which was urged so
strongly against the Northern Insurance Com-
pany, that it did not originate in any real appre-
hensions entertained by the people at large, but
was merely a result of the efforts of the press in
pursuit of notoriety and agitation, the Society
which has now been organized in Paris has
adopted resolutions, and received some thou-
sands of signatures in the course of a very few
days, without having once bee► noticed in any
of the Constitutional journals. Among the sig-
natures which have been already affixed to the
resolutions of the Association are those of
Messrs. Abbey de Pompieres, Lafayette, Ma-
thieu Dumas, Lafitte, Alexander de Laborde,
Chardel, Ternaux, and Eusebe Salverte, all
Members of the Chamber of Deputies; and
many otlers, such as M. de Corcelles, the De-
puty for the capital, and the Representatives of
neighbouring departments, who are at present
absent from Paris, have sent in their adhesion to

the Society, expressed in terms at least as strong
as any thing which appeared in the original re-
solutions adopted in Brittany. The following
is the Parisian document alluded to :
