FRENCH PAPERS.

From the .4"lfess. ager des Chambres of Tueeddy.)

PARIS, APRIL 27.—We quote from the German
Journals the few passages which are not repetitions
of what they have already stated.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCII 26.—1 n the midst of
the formidable preparations for war, the Ambassador
for the Netherlands does not lose sight of the noble
mission which the confidence of the Allied Cabinets
has intrusted to him' and continues to cxert.himself
.svith the Ottoman Porte for the pacification of Greece.
His F.xcelkncy, who enjoys the esteem of the Reis
Effendi, does not despair of success in his negociA-
tions. He has been assured that the Sultan would
accede to every thing consistent with the Mussel-
man name, to restore the good understanding with
France and England. The last news from Greece,
by no means favourable to the Porte, are supposed
to have contributed to make it assume a more mo-
derate language. While some of the frontier pro-
vinces of Turkey take advantage of the present cri-
sis, if not to rebel, at least to form pretensions of in-
dependence, the most powerful vassal of the Porte,
the Viceroy of Egypt, has signified to the Sultan his
extreme regret at not being able more effectually to
assist him. The check which the Turkish arms
have received in Livadia will probably hinder the
iatended reinforcements to Hussein Pacha.. The
new Grand Vizier is still expected from Albania;
Litt many persons think that he has already waited
on the Sultan incognito, and received his instructions.
The forced emigration of the Jews still continues.
This banishment of so many Greeks, Jews, and
Armenians has been called for in the present
critical circumstances by the most important
considerations. They will make so many mouths
less in a moment of scarcity, and it cannot be de-
nied that they are so many enemies sent away. The
Divan knows very well that the Reyes desire the
triumph of the Russians, and that many of them
are paid to prepare a revolution, and stimulate the
discontented. All the letters agree in the unshaken
firmness of the Sultan, whose courage and presence
of mind keep up the spirits of his subjects, and awe
the seditious.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 1. 1829.

The decline in the Funds is ascribed partly to
two causes—uncertainty as to the plans of Minis-
ters, and the general depression throughout the
country. Nothing will so much relieve trade,
agriculture, and manufactures, as a modified
Property Tax of four or five per cent., and a re-
duction of the Assessed and other taxes. The
one would infuse vigour into every department of
the State, while the other would relieve the
country from its most oppressive burdens.

The weather having moderated, we have re-
ceived the French Papers of Monday and Tues-
day, and the Gazette de France of Wednesday's
date. Their contents are divided between stric-
tures upon the imbecility of the Ministry, whose
removal is strongly recommended, and the affairs
of the East.
The Journal des Debats recommends a
dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, either
immediately or as soon as the business of the
Session is disposed of. Its reason for recom-
mending the adoption of this plan is—" the
fluctuating character of the majority of the
Chamber—and the impossibility of foreseeing
what will be its decision on any measure sub-
mitted to its consideration." Now this variable
character of the Chamber must either arise from
Ministers not possessing its confidence, or from
the majority of the Chamber having no cordial
bond of union to determine a particular line
of conduct. Public opinion must be in a certain
state of abeyance or repose, otherwise an impetus
would be given to the majority of the Chamber
which would have a corresponding influence on
the Ministry, and a resignation on the one hand,
or a decided plan of operations on the other,
would be the natural consequence.
The Constitutionnel speaks in round terms of
the imbecility of the Ministry, which, it says, pro-
ceeds at hazard, and without system, neither taking
council of its fears, nor the want of confidence
which exists in France, while great events are
preparing in Europe. " Austria," it says, " is
in arms— England is preparing to interfere in
the quarrels of the East, as soon as the decisive
moment shall arrive. Already she has sent some
distiNguisbed Officers, with artillery and stores
of all kinds, to the Dardanelles. Tranquil in
her domestic affairs, since the emancipation of
Ireland, the British Ministry has taken an im-
posing attitude, and views with perfect calmness
the storm which is gathering in the political
horizon. What a fine character France was
destined to fill in the great drama of the
world ! If our Ministers had done their
duty, they would have strengthened them-
selves by the national unanimity which exists ;
the occasion was favourable, and of a nature
which could scarcely escape the most common
understanding. France felt the imperious ne-
cessity of the departmental and municipal or-
ganization. But it was not a ministerial fiction,
it was the reality which she wanted. Had
Ministers exhibited a spirit of conciliation, all
obstacles would have vanished ; the nation would
have had confidenee in the future, which confi-
dence would have raised the national strength to
a high degree."
But Ministers did not act thus wisely—they
withdrew the Departmental sod Municipal laws,
and thereby " insulted the Chamber while they
wounded the national sentiment." Their pre-
cipitation, we are told, has answered the purpose
beyond " all hope of the Cabinets of Vienna
and St, James'e; they could not have acted
otherwise had they been inspired by Prince
METTERNICH. They are at since disarmed,
without consistency, without the least influence
over the destinies of Europe." The French
Minister:, ilave, no doubt, acted very impru-
dently ; but no party has yet acquired strength
enough to displace them. Their present policy
seems to partake of that doubtful character which
inclines neither to good nor evil ; but they must
rouse from their slumbers, and assume more
energy , or they will provoke the indignation of

the people, without retaining the good will of
the Chamber, or the confidence of their Royal
Master. Indecision will neither do in love nor in
war—and the Ministers have now some experience
that it will not do in politics. They must—

" Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen."

German Papers of the 24th April have been
received. Their contents present a gloomy pic-
ture of the privations at Constantinople from the
scarcity of provisions. The news from the
Turkish fortresses on the Danube is also very
unfavourable from the same cause, and the
severity of the weather. General Count
DIEBITSCII, the Commander-in-Chief of the
Russian army, has moved in advance, having
transferred his head-quarters from Jassy to Is-
saktchi on the 30th March. Hostilities may
therefore be expeted to recommence on a large
scale, without delay :

FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, APRIL S.

The scarcity of bread at Constantinople has' become so
dreadfully great, that in the distribution only one loaf
comes to three persons. In our province, too, and parti-
cularly in Bucharest, provisions of all kinds are daily
growing dearer, and in Little Wallachia is much greater,
so that for some time p ist the people have mixed bark of
trees with bran. General Geismar has, in consequence,
been negoeiating with Austrian contractors to supply his
troops with provisions. The garrison of Silistria equally
suffers from the extreme scarcity of provisions, and it was
lately asserted that part of the troops had left the fortress
to seek subsistence elsewhere. The number of the Turkish
troops assembled about Widdin is estimated at 5.0,000
men, and great apprehensions are entertained at Crajova
of a visit from the dreaded guests. The sudden overflow-
ing of the Danube is said to have done great damage along
the banks, and to have cast the lives of many persons.
Chiurgevis in particular is said to have suffered ; but no
official reports on this subject have been received.
Count Tolluschin, the Governor of the Principalities,
returned a few days ago from Jassy to Bucharest, and
Count Diebitsch, the Commander-in-Chief, is likewise ex-
pected there for a few days.

A French Paper, received by the Mail this
morning, contains an official document on the
state of the French Finances, or Budget. The
expenditure of 1828, in all the various branches,
has exceeded the estimate ; and the 54 millions
of francs out of the 80 millions voted last Ses-
sion as an extraordinary supply, have been ex-
pended, leaving only 26 millions for the extra-
ordinary expenditure of 1829, which, it is said,
will be equally large as that of 1828. The pro-
posed expenditure on the Naval Department
amounts to as much as that voted for our Navy,
and is more than double the cost of the French
Marine during the American war. This speaks

something.
The French circulating medium is to be re-
coined. Its amount is about 1,200 millions of
francs—being nearly 47 millions sterling.
It is said in Paris that the English Cabinet
gives increasing cause for suspicion to Russia,
who has now two Ambassadors here besides a
host of Subaltern Agents, watching for all sorts
of information, which they transmit to St.
Pet e rsb u rgh

The Lovers of Music will be glad to know
that Mademoiselle SONTAG will make her first
appearance to-morrow at Guildhall, in aid of the
Benefit for the Distressed Weavers of Spital-
fields. This being her first appearance this
season in London, it is hoped that curiosity, if
not charity, will induce thousands to be present,
who will enjoy the double satisfaction of hearing
Mdlle. SONTAG, while, at the same time, they
contribute to the relief of a very distressed, but
very deserving body of men.
