FRENCH PAPERS.

" ODESSA, AUG. B.—We hare news from Con-
stantinople to the 2d of this month. The result of
the conferences at London respecting the pacifica-
tion of Greece rendered the Porte very uneasy,
though the certainty that the Courts of Vienna and
Berlin did not take any part in them had produced
a favourable impression on the Divan. People were,
however, convinced that the Porte would let things
come to the last extremity. The Courts of St. Pe-
tersburgh, London, and Paris, had not vet caused
the ultimatum to be presented, with the indication
of a period of 30 days, according* to the treaty ; and
as the ratification of the three Sovereigns are indis-
pensable, it could hardly be presented before the end
of the month.

" The Count Capo d'lstria, who is going to Greece,
is said, at St. Petersburgh, to have with him to the
value of five millions of rubles.
" PARIS, AUG. 28.—Letters from New Orleans
say that the Blosom, Captain Richy (the Blossom,
Captain Beechey), sent by the English Government
on a scientific voyage, had touched at San Francisco
in New California, and had sailed again to prosecute
her voyage.

" LEGHORN, Art. 16.—We lv,ve received a let-
ter, dated Corfu, Aug. 6, which announces a signal
victory gained by the Greeks over their enemy in
the Peloponnesus. Ibrahim Paella, after the defeat
which he experienced at Megaspeleon and Calavrita,
wished to conduct the troops against the Acro-
Corinth. Having assembled all his forces, he
marched in person at the heed of the Arabs. The
Greeks met him before the town of Vostitza, and
forced him to return with the loss of a great number
of soldiers.

" Another letter from the Island of Zante con-
tains the following passage :
" Lord Cochrane, after having burnt the Egyptian
brig before Alexandria, and carried terror into the
enemy's territory, has returned to Poros. Yesterday
morning a little frigate of 36 guns, and a galley of
the Turkish fleet, passed off our island to pro-
ceed to Patras. On a sudden Lord Cochrane
appeared near Scrophes, with the Hellas and the
Soler brig. Towards noon we heard a brisk can-
nonade, and in the evening we had intelligence of a
naval battle. Early this morning the Hellas and the
Soter approached the island, the latter having in tow
the enemy's frigate, on whose mast the Greek stan-
dard was flying. The Turkish crew were compelled
to surrender, after a resistance of 10 minutes. The
frigate has suffered in its rigging from the guns of
the Hellos. The Greek sailors were repairing the
damage. The vessels approached so near our port,
that we could distinguish the men with the tele-
scope. The Turkish galley was captured without
sustaining any injury. The Greek vessels proceeded
towards Clarenza, to anchor and to arm the galley
for to-morrow morning.

" LISBON, AUG. 15.—We learn from 'Chaves,
that the flags and standards which the Spaniards
have sent from Braganza, are expected there, and a
fete is in preparation to receive them. A letter has
been received at Chaves, written by Viscount Mon-
talegre to his brother-in-law the Abbe of St. Valha,
in which the former describes the dreadful state of
misery he is in, and begs pecuniary assistance, to de-
fray the expense of a journey which he intends to
make to France. He also complains bitterly of the
bad treatment which he received in Spain, and to
which he can no longer submit. Letters from La-
mego, dated the 10th, speak of a mob having as-
sembled near the village of Pontello, and compelled
all passengers to shout vivas in favour of the Marquis
of Chaves, and cry Death to Don Pedro aid the
Constitution?.

" Sub-Lieutenant Soeiro proceeded to the spot
at the head of a detachment, which put the sediti-
ous to flight. One man was taken and put into
prison at Lamego. _ _

" An English brig of war brought despatches to
the British Admiral two days ago. Immediately
after, three small English ships of war sailed. It is
supposed that they are to cruise, out at sea, as a
squadron of observation : for at the same time
orders were given to add to the ordinary signals of
the maritime telegraph on the tower particular
signals for notifying the approach of a Brazilian
squadron.
" The circular or manifesto addressed by Count
de Ponte to foreign Courts, continues to be severely
censured. The inhabitants of this capital are griev-
ously offended at it. The protest made at Madrid,
on the catastrophe of July 7, 1522, by the diplo-
matic body, spoke with more delicacy and modera-
tion of the inhabitants of the Spanish capital, than
Salvador de Ponte has done of those of the ca-
pital of his own country. It is reported that Count
de Villa Flor is to be sent on an extraordinary mis-
sion to the province of Minho. It is alleged that
this mission has for its object to paralyze the autho-
rity of General Stubbs, who is feared."
A report was spread to-day that it was the inten-
tion of the Cabinet of Madrid to draw the Spanish
army to the frontiers of Portugal, to sustain Don
Miguel, sent by Austria.

(EXTRACT OF AWOTHER PRIVATE LETTER RECEIVED liY

EXPAZSS.)

It is reported that the English troops are to eva-
cuate Portugal in two months; the disposal of the
materiel of war by the Britannic Cabinet seems to
favour the report. Be it as may, it is not thought
likely that the English will be in a hurry to eva-
cuate the two forts they occupy at the entry of the
bar of Lisbon, and which command the Tagus. At
any rate, pretexts will not be wanting for leaving a
guard in the service of the Regent.
Private letters from Rio Janeiro agree that the
King, Don Pedro, was making preparations for going
to Portugal.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
VIENNA, AUG. 15.—We learn from Jassy that a
req►.►isition of horses is talked of in the principalities,
for the transport of a certain number of p►eces of
artillery, destined for the fortresses siLuated on the
right bank of the Danube, such as Galacz (Mol-
dayia), Brailow (Wallachia), and Widdin, which is
one of the most ►mportant places in that part of the
Ottoman Empire. It is also said that the garrison
of Trauwinck, a fortress of Bosnia, will be reinforced
by a detachment of troops exercised on the Euro-
pean plan.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

LISBON, Aug. 15.—The C'onstitutionnel Gazette
of yesterday stated, that a vessel arrived at Lisbon
from the Island of St. Michael had there seen an
English vessel which sailed from Rio Janeiro on the
30th of June, the Captain of which asserted that
Don Pedro had embarked on the 27th of the same
month for Portugal. It is reported to-day, that the
Spanish Government intends to advance its troops
nearer to the Portuguese frontiers. This resolution
is probable enough, for if the Infant Don Miguel
comes to Portugal, that army will be his support ;
and if, as the Liberals assert lie will, Don Pedro
arrives the first, that army will be ready to operate,
for the struggle would not fail to begin immediately.
For some days past, the inhabitants of the village
of Pontello have stationed themselves on the high
road, where they made travellers shout with them—
" Death to the Constitution, death to Don Pedro."
Troops were obliged to be sent from Lamego to
disperse them.
It was asserted, that the Bishop
Constitutionnel of the Algarves
had asked for dismissal, and the
Gazette went so far as to say, that his resignation
had been accepted. We can affirm, that that Mi-
nister transacted business this very day at his office.
The Ex-Minister Saldanha came to Lisbon in the
night of the 11th instant, but the
next day returned
to the village of Beiras. This little journey has given
rise to various reports, of which the least absurd is,
that the ship Apollo, lately arrived from Rio Janeiro,
having brought letters personally addressed to Sal-
denim, he was summoned to open them in the pre-
sence of the Council of State. An order has been
vt.nt, to General Cauca, 'Military Governor of the
