FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Etoile of Saturday.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. B.—The English Ambassador has
renewed his proposals relative to the pacification of Greece ; and,
in a note which he has lately presented, has demanded, in the first
place, the cessation of hostilities. Great curiosity is excited to
hear what answer the Porte will give to this note ; the verbal
overtures of M. Stratford Canning and M. Menziakv, oa-the sub-
ject, have been hitherto without effect. It is affirmed, on the
other hand, that Russia and England seriously desire to stop the
trusion of blood in the East, and that it may be hoped that M. de
Ribeaupierre, who is expected here on the 1 Ith of this month,
will powerfully support the proposals of the English Ambassador.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
MADRID, FEB. 26.—A Russian courier arrived here lately, and
we are informed that the despatches which he brings are highly
satisfactory. The Gazette of Madrid contains an answer to the
English Courier, which had pretended that every thing was over
in Portugal, thanks to the energy displayed against Spain by Mr.
Canning. Our Gazette declares that Spain owns no other in.
fluence but that of its Sovereign, who is himself independent of
all foreign domination.
" PARIS, MARCH S.—The English Journal, the Courier, re-
ported a few days ago, that a notice had been posted at Lloyd's
Coffee-house, according to which the Government of the United
States was preparing armaments, which were directed against
France; and it was added, -that letters from Washington stated
that the American Ambassador at Paris had received from his
Government orders to reiterate the demand of 40 millions, as an
indemnity for the confiscations of American property, which took
place during Buonaparte's Government. It is desirable that the
Ministry should give some explanations which might give confi-
dence to our merchants on this head.

(From the Jornid de Paris of Friday.)
Rants, MARCH B.—A letter, dated January 18, from Fort
Royal de la Martinique, Which has just been received at Havre,
gives the following details :—The Republics of Mexico are in a
state of complete anarchy. The Amazon frigate, of 60 guns,
belonging to the squadron of the. French Antilles, sailed on the
15th January from Guadeloupe for the Terra Firma, where it is
to take on board those Frenchmen who may wish to leave that
unhappy country. The English have imitated the generous con-
duct of the French Government. Vessels have been dispatched
froth St. Lucia and Dominica, to withdraw from the sanguinary
re-action of the parties which divide the new world the subjects
of Great Britain who are in those countries.

(From the Constitutiowiel.)
MADRID, FEB. 26. tPrivate Correspondence. )—Mr. Lamb
and our Minister for Foreign Affairs are again at variance in their
debates. The cause of their dispute is said to originate from the
following circumstances :—All the artillery which has been taken
by the Constitutionalists from the Marquis of Chaves and his
party, appears to have been manufactured at Seville. This, there-
fore, has become rather an embarrassing question to our Govern-
ment, which has reserved to itself the same monopoly of found-
ing cannon and keeping them for its own use, and which
consequently cannot throw the blame of this discovery on in.
dividuals. _

As to Chaves and his men, whom they pretend to have dis-
armed, I can assure you, that the reports of the persons disarmed,
which have up to this day arrived to the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, do not contain e than 3.51 men in all, not including
officers and employes of the Administration.
On the other band, it has been announced, with a great bustle,
that the refugee Portuguese Were to be confined in the lower parts
of Asturias and Castile, but up. to the present moment such of
the rebels as have been disarmed, and removed furthest from the
frontiers, are to be found at St. Jaques and Orense, that is, about
15 leagues, at most, from the seat of war.
Orders have been (for the third time) issued to expedite the
levy of 24,000 men. The intendants, municipality, Bishops, all
are set to work, by means of orders and circulars, commanding
them to use all their -efforts and zeal not only that drawing for
the levy may have terminated by the end of March, but that
the recruits may be at that time on their way to join their
regiments. •
This day's Gazette confirma•what I stated in my last respect-
ing the guns purchased in a strange country,. for it contains a
Decree authorising the Inspector of Royalist Volunteers to pur-
chase out of the kingdom all the guns which he may not be able
to procure from the national founderies. While, on the other
hand, the Inspector-General has just received six millions of reals
(about 60,0001.), which is destined to the arming and equipment
of the volunteers, and particularly, for the equipment and fur-
nishing with horsee of the. new , regiment of volunteers which is
forming here.
Commissaries have set out for Andalusia in order to purchase
horses there for the heavy cavalry. Others have set out for Gal-
licia and Navarre, where they are to purchase horses for the light
cavalry.
