FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Journal du Commerce of Wednesday.)
PARIS, APRIL 14.—The .2Woniteur has not yet
published the name of the successor of M. de la
Ferronays, and every thing indicates that the choice
will not be made before the first council after Easter
Sunday. The Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs is
gone to his diocese; his colleagues have given notice
that they will not give audience during Passion
Week ; and there is every appearance that no im-
portant measure will be discussed in the Council
before "Wednesday next.
A letter from Madrid, of the 2d of this month, re-
ceived at Nantes, and quoted by the Con:•nercial Jour-
nal of that city, contains the following paragraph :
" We felt fresh shucks on the 25th, 30th, and
31st of March. The latter, which took place in the
night, spread terror and consternation among the In-
habitants of Madrid. It is affirmed at this mo-
ment that all Cadiz is submerged by the effect of
re•action of the shock at Murcia : pains are taken to
conceal this fatal event, the news of which is said
to have been brought by an extraordinary mes-
se:•iger.
Letters from Toulon of the Sth of April, an-
nounce that four ships of the line, the Scipion, Ville
de Marseilles, the Conquerant, and the Trident,
are to be laid up. The Juno and Flore have sailed
for Brest. There is nothing that seems to indicate
hostile intentions towards Algiers.
Letters from Vienna say, that the members of the
Brazilian Legation in that city are on the point of
leaving it. It was reported, too, at Berlin, that Lord
Strangford's mission to Rio de Janeiro would be
unsuccessful, and that England would very probably
soon recognize Don Miguel.
(From the .M'essager des Chambres of Wednes lay.)

FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, -MARCH 31.—A1l kinds
of reports are circulated, which we can scarcely ven-
ture to repeat without farther confirmation. It is
pretended that last week a most sanguinary battle
was fought near Giurdzevo, and that the Turks
sustained a very considerable loss. The Russians,
it is said, male themselves masters of very impor-
tant positions, and some even affirm that the fortress
was either taken, or at least cn the point of falling
into the hands of the conquerors. It is added that
part of the Russian army has passed the Danube,
not far from Giurdzevo. We repe..t it, these are
reports perhaps rather the expression of the wishes
of the army than derived from an authentic source.

FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT,

Admiralty Office, April 16, 1829.
Commodore Collier has transmitted to the Right Hon.
Croker, a letter from Lieut. Henry Downes,
commanding the Black Joke, tender to his Majesty's ship
Sybille, reporting that, on the Ist of February last, the
Btich Joke captured, on the Coast of Africa, after a long
chace and a gallant action, a Spanish slave-vessel, called
the Almirante, with four hundred and sixty-six slaves on
hoard.

The Black Joke carried two guns and fifty-five men;
the Alatirante, fourteen guns and eighty men ; and Com-
modore Collier expresses in high terms his sense of the
gallant and skilful conduct of Lieut. Downes, and of the
zeal and courage of the officers and men under his orders,
in this successful action against a vessel of very superior
force.

The Spanish vessel had fifteen killed, including her
Captain and First and Second Mates ; and 13 wounded.
The following is a return of theloss on board the Black
Joke.

Mr. T. P. Le Hardy, Admiralty Mate, wounded.
Mr. Richard Roberts, Mate (of his Majesty's ship Me.
diva,) wounded.
