FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal des Debuts.)

The reports relative to the uneasiness and disunion
• (dislocation) of the Ministry multiply, and daily be-
come more consistent. We at first paid but little
attention to them, but now the division in the
nistry is sufficiently advanced to reveal itself by po-
sitive anecdotes, which have escaped from confidence
by bad humour and spite. The Ministers are almost
as bad among themselves as they are with the na-
tion. A few days ago the Council-chamber was the
theatre of a singular scene. The Ministers had been
signing ordinances, and discussing some measures of
economy, when one of them, whose name will be
easily guessed, said—" There were more important
things to consider than those; and he was astonish-
ed at the inactivity of the Council in so imminent a
crisis ; that it was necessary before any thing else
to think of the Chamber. You know," added he,
" that although I am not a member of it, I wa,
chosen to represent awl attract a part of -the lel
centre. Ido not think, in fact, that it will be pos-
sible to go on without it : but it is impossible to ob-
tain it with the nominations that have been made,and
the language which is held by the Ministerial Journals.
We must take a decided past, and designate by
acts the line of moderation, to' which part I desired
to attach myself." On this raising of the buckler
two other voices were heard, and they muttered the
words--" moderation, moderation united with firm-
:leas." The Prince de Polignac held his tongue,
hut his countenance seemed to approve the expres-
sion. But M. de la llourdonnaye replied with
hauteur," that moderation had lasted too long—that
it excited the insolence of the factious—that it was
necessary to go forward boldly, and that all the
outcry would fall of itself; that above all it was ne•
cessary as soon as possible to place energetic men in
some of the prefectures, in order to be prepared
against everything." In concluding, he said," Un-
happily, energy was rare, a fear even seemed to have
crept into the Councils of the Government." At
this word " fear" the colour rose on the cheek of
M. de Courvoisier. He replied angrily, " that the
fixed character of his principl6S was not fear; that
he had no more fear than M. de la Bourdonnaye."
Then, giving himself up to his oratorical vivacity,
he said some very good thinks against exaggeration
and violence, as he used to do in the Chamber in
the year 1819. M. de la Bourilmmaye railed agxtnst
the revolution and the pusillanimity which encouraged
it ; and he added, with great bitterness, "-that there
was something very strange in managing at once
the revolution and the Jesuits."
Hurt at this last trait, M: de Courvoisier was
about to reply by some vehement sortie, but the
Prince de Polignac endeavoured to restore calm by
saving " that every body in the council was united
by hltred Cor the revolution, that, he thought with
the Keeper of the Seals as to the Jesuits, so useful
to the monarchy; but that the time was riot arrived
for reviving the two ordinances." M. de la Bout-
dormaye replied violently, spoke for a long time, and
was supportial by two members of the Council. It
was even said, that up to a certain point the Prince'
de Poli:mac appeared to agree with him in opinion.
They -separated without having decided any thing,
and very discontented. Since this scene the words
" fear, and weakness which endangers the tno-
nareb," have been much repeated by some sabal-
terns (souß at-di-es). It is probable, however, that
no peron will retire immediately from the Ministry.
The bond of necessity is stronger titan all their dis-
putes. Bow are they to go on? How are they to
disembarrass themselves of each other ? How,
above all, could they recruit themselves ? In every
ssasy there is the same impotence; and yet time runs
on, and difficulties grow with public hatred.
(From tLe Messager deg Chambers )

Uoder the date of the Sth of September, we learn
from Lyons, that the authorities had poted an ordi-
nance prohibiting the display of seditious signs or
embletw, under the penalties decreed by the law of
1822. It appears that the poke of that city took
umbrage at some flags and streamers of divers colours
which, were OR the mast-heads of boats diving Gen.
Lafayette's excursion on the Saone the preceding
evening. It was, above all, looked on with an evil
eye, that two or three young men at the moment of
the General's return should lay hold of and wave
these flags. However, the greatest tranquillity reigns
in this city at large.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
Severol departmental journals state that agent.
, have been sent to different towns in order to ascer-
tain the opinions of the deputies, And to endeavour
to attach them to the new Ministry. We are told
that one of these agents has arrived in this depart-
ment, that he has been to 'Douai, where he saw
certain deputies, but he took care not to address
himself to those men, who would have received him
)vith all the hotwurs due to such a mission. These
gents, who pursue such a vile calling, in vain em-
ploy both promises and menaces ; but they will
never disband the battalion of 300 Villelists, who
have cost France so dean—Feud/0 de Conibrai.
The Constitutijne/ gives a !otter, dated Per-
pignan, Sept. 7, which says, that a petition hac been
got up and printed at Aix, in favour of the re-estab
lishment of the Jesuits. The letter also.states that
an affray took p'ace on the 30th n't, on the frontiers
of Spain, near. Puycerda, between the government
troaps and some armed men, but the Governor suc-
ceeded in restoring tranquillity.
(Extract from the ConstitutionneL)

Whilst the Russians, masters of Adrianople, art,
consoi;tiating the system fur the interests of which
they have taken arms, let us try to determine the
motives of their, principal operations, and the pro-
bable results they are likely to produce.
Russia did not begin the war from the thirst of
aggraudieement. This empire is too extensive, and
if any thing was calculated to prove an obstacle to
its plans and movements—it is precisely the enor-
mous distance its armies had to traverse,:in order to
gain the two points which it . was indispensable for
them to have in their possession, Suppose the two
straits that epen the passage of the Miediterranean,
situated on the banks of the Danube, itutzia would
hire stopped there. But nature has placed them
80 leagues more to the south : it was threfore abst;-1
lutely necessary for her armies to again • their pos-
:session, though at so great a distance.
But the Russians poll their conquests towards
Asia; they are already masters of Erzerouoa, at the
source a the Euphrates, and of Trebizond on the
Euxiee. Is their only design to add to their do-1
minions the two issues of the Sea of Marmora ?
Undoubtedly. The object of the war allowed the
necessity of this march through Asia Minor, and the
events justify it.
Then, according to your opinion, it would have '
been urgent to let the Sultan concentrate his atten-
tion and all his resources in the direction that was
solely threatened. But to whom is it not visible
that such conduct would have been favourable to the
defence ?
Mahmoud being only busy with events that he
could have directed himself, would have doubled his
resources. Having nothing to fear for his rear, he
might have called near himself the troops that have
been opposed to General Paskewitch.; the =mo-
tion, subsidies, and contributions of every kind fur-
nished by the Asiatic provinces would have been
forwarded to Constantinople, and from thence to
the scene of war. The Pachas, easy about their
own situation, would have answered With enthusiastic
the demands of the Divan. The national spirit
being directed to one main object, would have been
the more disposed to second the Sultan's energy,
as the hostilities would have taken place on a part
efficaciously and even gloriously_ defended for a
whole century. No Turk would then have enter-
tained fears for the fate of the metropolis of Isla-
mism.

Another favorable chance was also open to foreign
succour. The Eng fleet, which, according to
rumour, has so often. entered the Black Sea, might
then have really attempted this diversion; for the
sex ports in the east and the south that are now in

the possession of the Army of the Caucasus, woul.:
have offered to it both provisions and retreats, hac
not war penetrated into those quarters.
The principles of sound policy dictated, there-
fore, the necessity of operating both in Europe and
Asia, though without any design of conquest on -that
side.

The diversion made by General Paskevvittch has
prepared and facilitated the progress of the. Grand
Army. The resources of Asia, expended on the
spot, became useless to the heart of the empire.—
The Pachas of these provinces, obliged to defend
themselves, have afforded no supplies to Constan-
tinople, and supported each other but weakly. The
inhabitants, like those of E►►rope, have been alarmed
by victories which it was impossible to conceal from
them, as it rright have become possible, had the
scene of war been confined to the heights of the
Balkan.

Finally, the most evident and important conse-
quences of the plan adopted by the Russian Cabinet
i 3 the nullity to which England has been reduced,
by depriving her fleets of the only possible mode of
operating with efficacy.
From these facts is derived a great truth, which
is, that where intrigues, bribery, and all the engines
of the most corrupt Machiavelism, joined to a power-
ful fleet, are unavailable, the influence of England is,
in reality, nothing. Russia has shut the entrance of
the Black Sea to her squadrons. Now at what
Court in these regions can she intrigue with success?
The Sophy of Persia ? But he was vanquished
before the combat ; and, this Prince put aside, who
was so soon chastised, it is necessary to go to China
to raise up enemies against the Russians in the east.
What interest could these Governments take in
events that are accomplished on the Hellespont ?
England was obliged to relinquish the very thought
of such allies.

In the mean time, General Diebitsch is in Adria-
nople, from whence he can see, as it were, the goal
to which he tends. This piece of news, now offi-
cial, ought to rectify many ideas. How, indeed, is
it possible to suppose that the same power which
has been unable to defend the Balkan, will stop a
victorious army in an open country? Who will be-
lieve in a hostile mediation, when the Russians can
so easily cover the shores of the Sea of Marmora
with their men ?

Four days have hardly elapsed since the arrival of
►his important news, and every one seems astonished
not w learn the capitulation of Constantinople; some
even more impatient, doubt of the passage of the
Hzemus itself, However, a little reflection suffices
to explain this pro2rastination, which is not yet
proved, supposing it even to be prolonged much
longer.
The Russian General in Adrianople has to attend
to many important things, as well as the capital it-
self. If he had to oppose any other nation, he might
perhaps have pursued the fugitives, and, taking ttd.
vantage of their consternation, have followed them
to the metropolis. Such a measure would have
been-inspired by the desire of saving the city, if by
his sudden arrival he tad thought it possible.
It is unfortunately but too evident, that Con-
stantinople is devoted to a general conflagration --.T
This desperate step coincides entirely with the prin-
ciples of the Turks : they burn what they cannot
prevent falling into :be hands of the enemy. They
are excited to such excesses by fanaticism, by their
ideas of honour, by despair, &c. The fugitivesaiso
would attempt it, animated by the thirst of pillage.
The conflagration of Constantinople is inevitable,
either by the orders of the Sultan, or the sponta-
neous resolution of private individuals.
General Diehitsch is well informed of these dis-
positions of the Turks. He must think any exertion
on his side to prevent this event entirely useless.
He renders fortune more favourable to him, by letting
things have their natural course; the turivel of the
Ottoman army in Constantinople will certainly give
birth to the most violent sedition. A multitude of
causes havft paved the way to the explosion. Will
the Russian General eqoae himself in a contest,
made bloody by the effects of despa4, whilst he is
sure of his conquest without any new sacrifices, and
by only temporizing a few days longer ?
Besides, the delay will not be useless to his sub-
sequent operations. All the most important for-
tresses of the coast will be occupied at the same
moment as the capital, in order• to secure the con-
quest—on the right, Marizza, the Dardanelles, Gal,
lipoli on the left, the castles of the Black Sea,
It is from the comical point of Adrianople that
ell these measures are to be put into execution.
Whilst General Piebitseh will give all his attention
to !hese grand projects, new reinforcements will ar-
rive to enable him to march to Constantinople, and
seize the remains and position of that city.
We must not therefore be astoni,hed, if a few days
run on before we learn the final result of this second
campaign.
