FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated May 2.)

PAIZIS, MAY I.—lt is affirmed that riots caused by
the dearness of corn have taken place in the town of
Blanc, in the department of the Indre, and that tu-
multuous assemblages of the same nature have been
formed in the environs of Chateau Dun. It is
affirmed that the cause of these disturbances is the
sending a great quantity of corn to Paris.
His Royal Highness the Duke de Chartres set
off this evening for England, accompanied by Ge-
neral Baudeaud. His Royal Highness will visit
Scotland and Ireland. The Duke of Orleans ac-
companies them as far as London.

Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, the Marquis
Palmella arrived here from London.
The Jean Bart arrived in Brest harbour on the
17th of this month. It is not yet known what news
she brings from Brazils.
We learn from Tunis, that the French division
blockading Algiers has captured several vessels,
among which was one under the Tuscan flag, which
bfAiongs to the Government of Tunis. The Pacha
of Tripoli has raised claims against Tuscany, and
the French Consul has settled the affair by paying
6,000 piastres.

The Swiss military code for the regiments in the
service of France has been modified. Corporeal
punishments are abolished ; the penalties which are
to be applied instead of them will commence from
the Ist June next.

(From the Messager des Chambres, dated May 1.)
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, APRIL:I2.--The prepara-
tions for the campaign are truly formidable on the
side of the Turks, as far as concerns the number of
troops, and orders are given to lay waste every
thing, if a retreat should be necessary. It is, indeed,
the practice of the Turkish troops, when they are
obliged to abandon a country, to leave it desolate.
On the present occasion this barbarous custom is
erected into a system; and a new staff, under the
direction of an old German Officer, is ordered to or-
ganise a plan for a general conflagration, before the
enemy can penetrate to such places as it may be ne-
cessary to evacuate.
It cannot be denied that the conqueror would be
stopped by such a proceeding, but what a fatal
prospect is this for the unfortunate inhabitants of
Bulgaria and Romelia.

Commerce is dead nothing is sold but ammuni-
tion and military stares, for which the Government
pays good prices at ready money.
It is pretended that the garrison of Widdin has
lately made an incursion into Little Wallachia, where
it said to have destroyed a great number of Rus-
sian military magazines, which is not at all probable,
because thereiis a very strong corps at Hirchova and
in the environs. The Danube, besides, has over-
flowed its banks in such a manner, that it would be
extremely hazardous to attempt the passage. It is
said that a Russian magazine near Gallatz has been
destroyed by the overflowing of the river.

DUTCH, GERMAN, AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.
ANtoNA, APRIL 12.—1 t is said that Admiral
11eyden intends to blockade the harbour of Alex-
andria, and hinder the Pacha of Egypt from supply-
ing the Porte with provisions. Some persons ask
wnether the Russian Admiral is authorised to d 9
this ; and affirm that the ports of Alexandria and
Smyrna wore declared neutral by the three me-
diating Powers, on the evacuation of the Morea by
the Egyptian troops.
The blockade of Alexandria would be very inju-
rious to Constantinople, and greatly embarrass the
Pacha of Egypt; because, since the occupation of
the Principalities, and the rigorous prOhibition of im-
portation from the ports of the Black Sea, Constan-
tinople has derived almost all its supplies of corn
from Egypt; and the trade of Alexandria, which
has already declined in a very alarming degree,
would be reduced to nothing by this measure. In '
the English squadron in the Mediterranean, it is
affirmed, that the officers believed they shall soon
be called to more active exertions, and that many
half-pay officers have been ordered to join it. Eng-
lish emissaries have lately travelled through the
continent of Greece in all directions, in order to ob-
tain an accurate knowledge of its real situation. It
appears that it was not Sir Frederick Adam, but
one of his confidential agents, who had an interview
with the Grand Vizier Redschid Pacha. At Corfu
people expect much good to result from this inter-
view, and praise Redschid Pacha as an experienced
and well-intentioned statesman, who is not insen-
sible to the good intentions of England, and will
do every thing that the Porte may renew its former
friendly relations with its most faithful ally.
The passage of couriers through this town is not
so frequent as it was a few months ago, When the
Ambassadors of the three Powers were still at
Corfu.

BERLIN, APRIL IB.—The Empress of Russia is
expected to be here at the marriage of Prince
William ; but it does not appear that the Emperor
will come, as was expected, or that he will go to the
army. The report of the intended journey of our
King to 'Warsaw, seems to be unfounded. Many
of our politicians fear that the affairs of Europe will
become still more complicated. While England,
by granting the emancipation of the Catholics, re-
lieves itself from a long-continued disease, and ac-
quires additional strength to interfere in the concerns
of Europe, France, by the new formation of people's
minds, in consequence of the withdrawing of the
proposed Commercial and Departmental Laws,
hardly remains capable of increasing any efficacious
influence abroad. This change in the situation of
the two great European Powers may be of the most
powerful influence on the further turn of political
affairs. It is firmly believed Russia cannot give
way; many think a general war in Europe by.no
means improbable. Prussia would hardly have rea,
son to regreat such an event—prepared against any
attack, it can only gain by a mediation, as, whatever•
side it took, it would turn the scale. We are here
convinced that, in case of need, it will know how to
take advantage of the moment, and assert its rank
among the Po :viers of Europe.
VIENNA, APRIL 21.—Metalliques, 98; Bank
Shares, I,loB.—Allgenteine Zeitung, April 26.
BRUSSELS, MAY I.—After several days' debate,
from the 24th to the 28th April, the Second. Cham-
ber of the States General decided in favour of the
new project of law relative to the press, by a majo-
rity of 84 to 4 votes.
The Brussels papers are almost filled with de-
bates, and with further particulars of the capture of
the famous Kiaga Modigo, by the Dutch troops in
Java, the consequences of which have already proved
very favourable to the Government, and are ex-
pected to produce the suppression of the troubles in
that island. A hope is expressed that M. Coche
Momens, and other individaals condemned by virtue
of the Legislature relative to the press, which is
now abolished, will receive their pardon from his
Majesty. M. Coche Momens was to have been
transferred to another prison, but it is said that his
Majesty has ordered that this sentence shall not be
carried into effect, and that the Attorney-General
in person announced this good news to M. C. Mo-
mens, and encouraged the victims of the old Legis-
lation to entertain the most agreeable hopes.
The Belgi says he stated that M. Pellet and the
others would be restored to liberty in three days.—
Brussels Papers of 2d May.
BERLIN, APRIL 26.—The Journals continue to
give the most deplorable accounts of the effects of
the late inundations in West and East Prussia.—
Between Thorn and Maricnwerder, the dikes have
given way in thirty places, and likewise in several
places between.Marienwerder and Elbing and Danzig.
All the low grounds called Niederuliger, on the
Vistula and the Nogath,'the• most fertile parts, are
under water, and only the roofs of the houses visible;
