FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Thursday, Nov. S.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 13.—The Sultan does
not seem to have yet come to any resolution re-
specting the orders which, he shall give to Ibrahim,
and every thing indicates that the Porte is extremely
uneasy, and that it will not carry into execution its
threats of rupture with the Powers. A new cir-
cumstance has just added to its uneasiness. The
Austrian Internuncio, who had hitherto refused, not-
withstanding the invitation of the Ambassadors of
the three Powers to advise the Porte to/ accept the
proposals, is said, in consequence of new instruc-
tions from his Court, to have declared, in a note,
that his Government acceded to the conciliatory
proposals of Prussia. We are convinced that this
step will greatly contribute to render the Divan
more compliant. Independently of this circumstance,
the vacillation of the Porte, since the transactions at
Navarino, would be a sufficient indication of its
weakness.

OCT. 14.—.1t is now positively known that the
Sultan has not recognised the armistice concluded
by Ibrahim, and that orders have been sent to him
to continue his operations against the Greeks. This
resolution has spread consternation among the
Franks, and the alarms, which have been calmed for
these three weeks past, begin to appear again.—
Augsburgh Gazette.
PARIS, Nov. 7.--The last accounts from Zante,
in the Angsburgn: Gazette, say that Admiral Co-
drington, after forcing the Egyptian fleet to retire to
Navarino, had come back to Zante for a few days,
and had sailed again for Navarino, where M. Rigny
was to join him on the 12th or 13th of October.
The Russian fleet passed Zante on the 11th, and
was to join the English and French squadron before
Navarino by the 15th, when the provisional armis-
tice was to expire.
The Quotidienne seeks the cause of the dissolution
of the Chamber, and does not see in it any crisis
external or internal. It examines what the Cham-
ber was, which is now dissolved, and after say-
ing, that in the elections of 1524, the full powers
of France were given almost unanimously to the
Royalists, it attempts to show that the Royalist op-
position has faithfully fulfilled its trust. The Quo-
tidienne creates a power, independent of the King
and of. the Chambers, a Parliamentary Ministe-
rialis in.

After attacking the Chamber of Deputies and the
Ministry, it concludes thus :—" At this moment
there is something else to do than to ruminate on the
past—it is necessary to secure the future. The
spirit of decorum and moderation will therefore hin-
der us froth scrutinizing the electorial lists, to pursue
those who have not participated in our opinions."
, There is a general character which answers to all
wants—a designation which can triumph without
proscribing any thing—a spiritual virtue to he looked
for in the new Deputies—this is disinterested and
independent royalism. Every man possessing these
'honourable qualifications,—the rich endowment of
i
true Frenchmen—will be a good choice at present,
because he would be a good choice at all times.
The life of these Royalists has been, for nearly
forty years, a combat. Let them not be wary; let
them again, come forward, to give their votes and
suffrages to their King, religion, and country. Cahn
ilocl resigned, they will not have to serve the inte-
rests of a coterie, but to perform conscientious duties,
ivhich they , will fulfil as they always have done.
incere opinions must be neither puffed up by suc-
cess, nor depressed by reverses. The royalist opi-
nion will have strength and moderation in the dee-
lions which are preparing; and, by seeking. in its
choice disinterestedness and independence, it .is sure,
it does not obtain a triumph, at least not to ex-
ose itself to have cause for repentance.
According to the Journal des Debats there are
ut two men in France—one is in office, and the
ther not. This is. the cause of its vexation; these
are its politics. All was well when they were united ;
nothing will be well till one has taken the place of
Ole other. It says so openly. The two proper names
are even mentioned in. its article. This is the key
to explain all its language. Accordingly, it no longer
6as any opinion, any party; and its appeal is to the
Frenchmen of the ReStoration, to the Frenchmen
af the Charter, and to the Frenchmen of honour
nd probity.
l It is useless to analyze the three revolutionary
il 4ournals, the Constitutionnel, the Courrier Francais,
1 find-the Journal du Commerce. It is the same lan-
guage, with their usual differences. which they
adopted before the Censorship; that is, the Courrier
ii more the Constitutionnel, and the Journal du Com-
liierce more virulent and violent than the Comrrier.
'heir language is warm in proportion as the num-
her of subscribers is small. That which has the
fewest has the greatest need of making itself re-
Marked, and there is, we know, a celerity attached
t scandal.
We shall dispense ourselves from repeating here
that those Journals say. - The repose of the Cen-
stirship has not given them a new idea, or a new
Mode of employing their ill-humour at all that is
honourable in France. There are the same calum-
nies, the same means to inflame the passions.
We shall, therefore, confine ourselves to replying
to their false reasonings, and pointing out their false-
hoods :—All these Journals exclaim at having been
taken by surprise by the ordinance for the convoca-
tion of the Electoral Colleges. Do they believe we
hive lost our memory ? Could not we show them
pamphlets written by their friends, and every num-
ber of them—collections, in which the word disso-
lution is printed at full length, in June and July ?
Have we not seen all the appeals made by them to
the electors on occasion of the law of the Jury ?
And, more recently, their bitter and insulting re-
proaches to the electors, who had neglected to have
their names inscribed ? Have they not been taken
by surprise by the electors rather than by the Ad-
ministration ? It is not for us to pity them on this
account.

The Connie?. Francais does not choose to be
obliged to a Royal Ordinance, for the liberty of
which it makes such ample use this morning. It is
to the law alone that it owes the benefit, it says. Be
it so. But we will ask under what administration
this law Was introduced into the Chamber—what
Chambers voted it ; and, lastly, who proposes the
law in France ? Whether law or ordinance, the
Courrier strives in vain, it cannot escape a benefit of
the King. It is surely enough to dispense itself
from gratitude.
The Courrier Francais forgets that a royal squa-
dron blockades Algiers till entire satisfaction is
given ; that the King's tlar, and the French Marine
are respected and loved in 'the Levant ; that France
seems to have been the connecting link between
England and Russia in the affairs of the East ; that
the throne of Spain has -been delivered by our
armies from a revolutionary faction ; that a French
garrison is at Cadiz, the ramparts of which could
not be approached in other times; and that the
French nation to which its party has, during the
last six years, made so many appeals, as fruitless as
they were violent, answered in-the elections of 1814-,
to the voice of its King, which it will be equally at-
tended to in 1827.
LIES OF THE DAY.

The Cmistitutionnel.—lndependently of the great
measures published by the journals, a partial change

has been offered to M. Chateaubriand.

ELECTRAL LIES.

doubling of the Royal Courts.
