FRENCH PAPERS.

=ROM TIM JOURNAL DU C"MMERCE.
History presents no example of a commercial crisis,
exactly similar to that which continues to afflict Great
Britain. The disasters which followed the South Sea
scheme in England, the Mississippi plans, Law's system,
and the catastrophe of the Assignats in France, had a
relation to general facts, which were at least well
known and defined. Nearly a year has passed since
the time when unheard of reverses surprised Britain,
in the midst of the greatest prosperity that any.
people ever enjoyed, when, all at once, a dreadful
storm burst upon her, without any sign announcing
incoming. Niver were the fields more productive, ncr
the season more propitious, the domestic peace more pro-
found. Acts and sciences had attained a developement
previously unknoa n. Commerce was extending on every
side, hamlets were convei teJ into opulent cities,all classes
of society were happy in their sever al degrees—such, in
fact, was the appearance of national prosperity, that
the Ministers thought the moment arri►ed for diminish-
ing the public debt. All at once the fortunes of Eng-
land began to retrograde. her credit to be weakened.
and Ihe productions of her manufactui cr. to lie on he
hands. Her labouring population arc expiring of want
at the doers of the numerous workshops which formerly
nourished them. One of her first political economists is
compelled to exclaim, • if we are perishing by the will
of GOD, nothing remains for us but resignation: but if
we perish through the effect of crime, or of ignorance
in men, we have a right to demand reparation, or at
least to call for reform.'
The Journal des Debats of Tuesday contains the re-
mainder of the Decree for regulating the electioa of
the Portuguese Deputies. The following are the most
curious and important:
The Bureau Dffinitif (Committee of Appeal) is to
preside over the regulation of the Electoral Assembly,
to which no one armed shall be admitted. The Bureau
is to break up the meeting so soon as artificial light is
necessary. The whole of their transactions are to be
with open doors.
If at sunset the business of the Meeting is not
finished, the President is to put the whole of the lists
into an urn, which, being secured with three keys, to be
deposited in the hands of the three Members of the
Bureau, shall itself be locked up with a fourth key, and
not opened next day but in the presence of the Meeting.
The electoral business shall not continue for more than
three days, and at the end of each the result of the bu-
siness of the day is to be affixed to the Church door.
The Islands of the Azores are to form one province,
and those of Madeira and Porto Santo, another. The

Captains General of those Islands are charged with the
careful execution of the decree.
There is to be one Deputy for
_ every 25,000 souls, which gives
15$ Deputies, namely, 120 for Portugal, eleven fur the Islands, and
seven for the Establishments in Asia and Africa.
Scrutinies are not to continue above four days, and
every day the scrutiny is to terminate, if possible, before
nightfall. At the termination of each scrutiny, the re-
sult is to be posted up.
Nothing foreign to the elections can be treated of
at the Provincial or Parochial Assemblies. All discus.
sions and deliberations not connected with the elections,
shall be null and void, and the persons who provoke
them, shall be punished as disturbers of thepublic peace.
No Deputy shall be excused from taking his seat without lawful
cause duly proved.
The business of the Election is to commence on the
4th of September, by the formation of the prescribed
lists. The parochial elections are to commence on the
17th, and terminate on the 19th. The election of the
Deputes is to commence on the first day of October,
and end on the Bth.
The other parts of the Decree prescribe the forms to be obsersed
in making up the lists of Electors, in forming the Electoral Colleges,
and Committees, with a number of other deuils. It it dated at
the Palace of Ajuda, 7th August, 1826, signed by the formes,
and countersigned by FRANCISCO klaxon. Tissoos D'Aaaouo

Consols which were, at the commencement of the market, a
781 for the Account, rose to 781 j, when an eminent Broker
slipped out One Hundred and Fifty Thoosand, upon which the
market got up, instead of receding, and they were afterwards
done at 78j 79: at present Consols are not quite so good, and may
be quoted at 78; I, both for money and time.
In the Foreign market, Mexicans have bad a small fluctuation
and they have been done at 51e, but have got up again to 52 to e.
In other Sec irides little is doing.

A Flanders Mail, with Bru,sels Papers to the 30th
ult. reached us this morning. The following are extracts:
CONSTANTINIOPLE, Jour 26.

M. Boyer, belonging to the French legation, who was
sent some time ago with dispatches to Rear Admiral
Rigny, has returned from the M aea. According to
his account, the Greeks had resolved to defend them-
selves to the utmost, h.iving still possession of the fortress
of Napoli di Romania, into which the brave patriots
from Missolonghi have thrown them elves. This for
tress is in good condition, and is said to have provisions
for eighteen months. The N 1 ainotes had hnightily
re-
jected the proposals of submission that had been made
to them. Hydra, where all tl.e naval force of the Greeks
is assembled, is preparing to make a desperate resistance.
The arrival of the Greek Commissioners at Tino, who
demanded a tribute ref 40,000 piastres which the island
had already paid, and also 20,000 piastres for Colonel
Fabvier, caused a tumult on the 14th, in which blood
was spilt, and which was appeased -by Rear Admiral
Rigny. The second division, under the command of
the Captain Pacha has quitted the Dardanelles. Be-
tween 8 and 10,000 men are assembled at Sighigik,
where they are to be embarked. The expedition seemed
to be intended against Samos, but will probably go
against Hydra.
