FRENCH PAPERS.

From the Messayer des Chant rest of Sunday Second
Edition.
A report is current that hostilities between the Rus.iaes and
Turks were resumed on the Bth instant, and that the Russians were
expected to be before Constantinople on the 15th. It would ap-
pear that the massacre of some Russian out-posts by the Turks had
caused the negociations to be broken off. It is also said that some
Franks have been assassinated at Constantinople, and that troops
were landed from the English and French ships to restore tran-
quillity; but the sight of foreign soldiers had only increased the
fury of the Mussulmans; and, at the time of the departure of the
courier who brought this important news, a dreadful crisis was ap-
prehended at Prra, Galata, and the other quarters of Constantinople.
The public papers, and the German correspondence; assert as posit•
Live the intelligence of a Convention having been signed between
the Grand Vizier and General Diebitsch, with the condition of a
ratification in the space of ten days. But European diplomatists
will not find themselves agreed, in a delay so short, upon the con-
ditions of $ Treaty which involves so many jealousies and in-
terests. On the 6th of October next, some grand military ma.
nauvres will be executed on the plain of Grenelle, before the
King. It is said ;bat 18,000 men will be assembled on the plain.
blarie-Louise. Duchess of Parma, arrived lately at Lausanne, with
a suite of fifty-two persons and eleven carriages ; she stopped at the
Hotel de Faucun. Next morning she visited the Cedral, and
afterwards departed for Italy, by the passage of Sathimplon. It
is not, without doubt, forgotten, that when the new Empress of
Brazil was preparing to traverse France, on her way to embark
for Brazil. the Government formally opposed this journey, sup-
porting itself upon the law which proscribes from the French ter-
ritory all the members of the Napoleon family. A similar act of
urbanity has been shown to Lady L--., the daughter of Lucien
Bonaparte. This lady, by means of her English came, had suc-
ceeded in deceiving the vigilance of the Alguazib of the grander,
and bas been in Paris for some days , but she has just received so
ne,ter to quit the capital within a very short period.
MADRID, Sen. 17.—(Parrsen Connsseonnescs.)
The King is quite recovered from the effects of his late accident.
He continues at the Escurial. On the 14th, his Majesty was oc-
cupied with the Minister of Finances, M. BaUasteros • and on the
15th with M. Salmon, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The comple-
tion of the 12,000 muskets destined for the island of Cuba is going
on witb the greatest speed in the Royal manufactories, and they
are expected to be shortly ready.

ROME, Sm. 16.
The nearer the Marquis de Palma, Ambassador of the Brasils,
approaches to Rome, the more the secret of his mission to Pius the
Eighth becomes penetrable. This Plenipotentiary is said to be
charged with the task of getting acknowledged, by the Holy
Father, several Bishop* who have been appointed by the Emperor.
He is to treat with the Court of Rome respecting local affairs,
about which it would have been difficult to have come to an under-
standing by diplomatic correspondence.
It is asserted here that the Sovereign Pontiff having been in-
formed that there existed at Rio Janeiro public markets for the
sale of slaves, and that their treatment was very scandalous, has
authorised the Nuncio, who is to represent him at the Brazilian
Court, to require from the Emperor a prohibitory law against this
most infamous traffic, which dishonours a Constitutional Govern-
ment, and is only suitable to such Governments as that of Don
Miguel.

VIEILLE, Ssrv. 20.
This morning it was reported in the city that M. Faure Finale,
the Mayor of this commune, and his assistant, Chapnis, were
dismissed from their situations by a Ministerial order, for having
taken part in the honours bestowed on )1. de Lafayette. Such
were the terms of the decision taken by Al. de la liourdonnaye,
Minister of the interior, on the 11th of this month, and transmitted
t.• Al. Finant, by the Prefect of the Isere. This news has sensibly
irritated the inhabitants of this commune, who cannot understand
wby peaceable citizens may not,witbout crime, welcome a Deputy.
MI the population, of their own accord, met in the public
square. There each expressed his regret, and recalled to me-
Dim the hunourabk sets of the Administration of the dismissed
11agistrates. Soon the news was carried to the office of the
Mayor, and there M. Peyron, the former assistant, addressed
them in the name of his fellow-citizens. The Mayor and his
assistant were much affected at this mark of esteem, and testified
their gratitude in the strongest manner. In the evening a
splendid banquet was given to them by their fellow-citizens,
and they were also serenaded under their windows. The Prefect
of the Isere has appointed provisionally to fill the situation of
Mayor, M. Etienne Buscaillon, senior municipal counsellor; but
this respectable old man replied, that M. Finant being dismissed
from the office by his Excellency the Minister of the Interior, for
baying taken part in the public honours bestowed on M. de La-
fayette at Vizille, he came to declare to him that he, as well as the
o:het inhabitants. having also contributed to these honours, he
could not accept the functions with which he had wished to charge

him.
The police published yesterday in Paris the following notice—
PA MS, Seer. 44.
This morning, about eleven o'clock, a reticule of green levantine
was i.tolen from a chair upon which a lady was praying, in the
church of St. Ruche. containing-1. A hundred and twenty thou-
sand trance, in notes of the Bank of France, of 1,000 francs each.—
:. A cambric pocket-kandkerchkf, marked C. F.-3. A key of an
apartment.-4. A purse of cnmson.dyed silk, with a steel clasp.
'1 hese articles were taken by two young boys of 13 and 14 years of
age, who wt re to the church.

• From the Constitutionnel of Sunday.
It is reported that overtures have been made to several Depu-
ties, in order to ascertain if they would support a Ministry of
which M. de Polignite formed a part, and tsawhich M. Moonier
and Baron Portal should belong, the two latter having, during the
last Session, co-operated in procuring the downfall of the Martignac
Ministry, but thought they were winking fog themselves, and not
for Messrs. de la B•wrdunnaye and Bourmont. •
The overtures have had no sort of success. France at this time
of day requires a more solid guarantee than the choice of men who
have been able to do nothing but draw theinstives from downfall
t downtall, under all the Ministers since 1823. We are no longer
at Ihe time of the Congres4 of Aix la Cnapelk. •
It is said, too, that the Minister for Foreign 'Affairs has sent some
special propositions to M. de Martignac, the' Ministry beginning to
tind that they want a man of talent. But these negotiations may
fait. M. de Mattignac knows his Lafontaine by heart, and be is
by no means disposed a second time to draw the budget from the
tire, for the Bertrand of the congregation.

CIRCULAR OF Al. DECOURVOISIER—ESPIONAGE.
The Keeper of the Seals, forced into his last intrenchments, has
today published his famous circular, which at first he carefully con-
cealed and contradicted by means of his subordinates, and which at
last be himself denies in the AfonUestr in the most equivocal terms.
But it would seem as if, under this Ministry of violence and law
cunning, an official contradiction almost always amounted to a posi-
tive confirmation. Why, instead of printing yesterday his equivocal
disavowal,diilhc nut publish the drcular itself,which he is now forced
to submit to the controulisf public opinion? Why did he not
make it known at the time he sent it to the Prodoeurs-Generaux?
It was because it is In the nature of the puhce to conceal itself in
darkness; because it would be nonsense to make a measure of
espionage public. People who are watched are not told of it, nor
are they informed of the names and descriptions of their (A-
sti-vers. The tollowing is the text of this circular, which the
iietgy of public opinion has wrested from the secret portfolio of
his Excellency : " Paris, Sept. 1, 18i9.
6. M. Li Piociailla LIZNUAL—I beg you to send me, on the
Ist of each mouth, a ieport upon the state of opinion in your neigh-
bourhood, and of the efforts which have been made to mislead, and
to excite disorder. It Is by means of the Procuteurs-Getteraux that
the dovernment can obtain the most exact informadou upon this
point. This information the King's Procureurs can easily furnish
you with, as they have a continual come:ion with the Mayors and
Justices tat Peace of their Arrondissements, and they have, besides,
numerous auxiliaries.
