FRENCH PAPERS.
From the Messager ties Chausores, Aug. 31.
PARIS, Any. 30.
Riroae.—A person who has arrived from the Chateau of St.
Cloud assures us that a report was spread there of the burning of
Constantinople, by the order of the Sultan Mabmoud, who is stated
to have afterwards retired with his army. This news appears to
us equally eatroonlinsry and premature, and we should not have
repeated It if it had not been the subject of all the conversotiOna in
the saloons of the Palace. It appeared to be credited.
The precipitate departure of Admiral de Witty for Tooke may
very probably be connected with the affairs of the east, which the
successes of the Russians will render more intricate. It is gene-
rally believed at Toolon that the Admiral, as soon as be arrives,
will embark for the Levant on board the Conquerant, which will
bear his Sag.

TOULON, Ave. 25.
The Paris Journals have spoken of the mamma that should be
taken against Algiers; those of oar ettamen 4to are acqnaintesi
with the place affirm that a bombardment, assa. as appears to be
Intended, autoot produce soy advantageous Milt. It is unfortu-
nately but too true that an expedition of thirty or forty thousand
men would be tiseenlymeansof reducing Algiers, notwithstanding
the difficulties with which it might be attended. Besides, the late.
nem of the season will soon render it impossible to carry into exe-
cution either of these two measures, which the Government
be obliged to defer. The gun-boats are still in our port, and, to
tail the truth, there is no longer any expectation of their sailing to
Algiers
From the Journal du Commerce, Aug. 31.
PARIS, Ave. M.
His Highness the Dauphin arrived to-day front Cherbourg,, and
was present at the Council of Ministers.
It is positively affirmed that the Chamber of Commerce at Paris
has offered to M. de la Bourdon aye to give up the use of the Rs-
change for holding the sittings of the Chamber°, Deputies daring
the dine necessary foe the repairs, which are considered indispen-
sable in the Hall of the Bourbon Palace. The Chamber of Com-
merce is convinced that the merchants of the capital will voluntarily
retire into the temporary Hall, which happily still exists, not to
leave any pretext for delaying the Osavocation of the Chambers.
In the interview which M.,de Chateaubriand had peterday
with M. de Polipac, be delivered to the Minister a letter, in
which be requests a private audience with Ids ,Majesty. It is not
known whether it has been granted.
From the Constitutionnel, Aug. 31.
PARIS, Auo. 51.
The Ministry which had said " no re-action," and which bad
revealed itself by the names of those who compose it, begins to
declare itself by its acts; accusation is now organising, and
deprivations are going to take place as in the good time of ,
1815. Those lately pronounced by M. de la Bourdonnaye are
deplorable under more than one point of view. Men who '
have long occupied themselves in service like Messrs..de Laney,
Coupart, Grille, and Turgot, in the Ministry of the Interior,
have wisely placed the Ministry in telethon to the present
state and new wants of society—to change them suddenly, is to
announce that a desire exists to change those relations. If it
were not so, of what importance would it be to the Royal Inaba-
rity that M. Caspian should organise a new company of comedians
at Strasbourg, or that M. Turgot should favour the establishment
of a new charitable institution at Bayonne? But by changing the
men who had misted the brutal severity of M. Corbiere, and the
vile spying of M. Francher, it is clearly *brawn that there is a
wish not to tolerate anything which exists at this day, either in
letters, time unarm the hompinis. Nothing is now expected from
writers but tameness, and front artists but servility. :Do you then
dare to deny your deeigns? If it were not rs, why should yea
dismiss men whom you can only reproach with principles which
are enlightened by experience?—By adopting the system of 1813
you bring back to halm cupidity, its odious spying., and its fatal
mediocrity—you cannot better serve the cause over which you
pretend to triumph. These re-actions are abhorred by France,
which can see In them only causes of misfortune, excitation, and
irritation.

RESIGNATION OF hi. CHATEA ÜBRIA NO.
Scarcely had Viscount Chateaubriand arrived at Paris, when he
.rosigned his Embassy to Rome. We are assured-that he requested
an audience of his Majesty, for the purpose of explaining his mo-
tives ; but it is not known what day is -fixed -for that purpose.
The resiviatiotraf M. AChateaubrised will astonish oo urns--.every
body expected it Amoog the mama, Cow current Is that of the
hope which the Ministers entertain of obtaining.a majority by cor-
ruption. In fact, it would be too muds to insult this Chamber,
which has been blackened for some time by such abominable calum-
nies, by .saying that it was reckoned upon. ,It is even said that ats in-
quiry is now making as to the state. of the fortvosof every Deport ;
his debts, the number of his children, and the mortgages by which
his estates are encumbered. These shameful means would be
worthy of the ultra deplorable Ministry i • but if the fact were so,
whatever may be the precautions with whieb these corrupters may
surround themselves, they would sufficiently transpire to enable the
Tribune to answer by an sensation these criminal attempts.
From the Courrier Francais of Monday. '
PARIS, Auo. 31.
It is probable that the Russian • masters of the Forty Churches,
a city at the source of Cevach Detre, which is one of the branches
of the Hebrus, will nianotuvre towards Rodosto, to a city and sea-
port of the Propootis. They will then proceed to the Judge-mu,
a river which falls into the sea near the ancient Heraclea. At four
leagues thence are the walls of Anastasia:l, which have never yet
stopped an enemy with a force.
There, however, the ground will be disputed, if there is not an
insurrection at Constantinople against the Sultan, or if the Divan
does not supplicate peace. There will be a battle at the passage of
the Boront Tchezunde (eight leagues from the capital), where the
great question will he decided.
We have nothing now to wish but the establishment of a new
Greek Empire In the Ent, which may comprehend without, any
change the whole 44 Turkey in Europe and a part of Asia Minor.
From the Journal des Debuts, Any. 31.
• PARIS, Also. 30.
What part will France be able.to play in the game of Europe,
with a Minister already paralysed by his recollection of the stormy
opposition entertained for his measures—whose popularity at the
expiration of a week has expired in England, and *hose Tame has
net /et reached the other side of the Rhine, with the exception of
Vienna ? To present, even slur* peace, to the other kingdoms of
Europe a Cabinet devoid of the confidence F 0 the nation, is at
once to lower France in the scale of empires. But if this is the case
during times of quietness and tranquillity, what shall we say of
it 'when every Government of Europe feels the necessity of
-molesting round them the bonds of patriotism and confidence?
At the vtey moment that Wellington has sacrificed his .religious
prejudices, and the Emperor of Russia the heritable bondage of
his subjects, France throws herself twenty years in , re-
opens old sores, and gives a renovated existence to forgotten
quarrels. .The late Ministry have nut perhaps Lit to their suc-
cessors so powerful •or national an external policy as might have
been in accordance with their noble and generous intentions.—
But we hardly know how to blame this want of perfection ; for
'how . can we lay so their barge the signing of a Protocol by an
•-Ambassador, who, at the moment of receiving their instructions,
was aware of their approaching fall? From Paris they write
" Save Greece!" and in London every net ye was being exerted for
the safety of 3lahmeud. From Paris the cry was—" Mark with
your utmost detestation the tyrannous usurpation of Miguel ;"
while in London the hope was that the dethroned Queen might be
married to the usurping uncle, for which purpose they form a new
species of li gitimacy for Dun Miguel, built upon the violation of
his brother's charter.

Was there ever a time when Russia had greater need of see-
ing a permanent Cabinet established in France? It k true that
the march of events is rapid; but. nevertheless, who will
venture to say that all can be •accomplished in less than sin
months? and who will be rash enough to promise a aia
week's duration to the p►esent klmistry ? And what must
be the consequence of this? Affairs will be arranged as if
there were nia such country as France In Europe, for, the
simple reason. that fur the last thrre.weeks she has. as it Were,
been without a Ministry. Alliances will be formed—pledges will
be given—dnlsions will take place—treaties will be signed ; and
all this time, the most that we shall be able to do will be to dis-
inter from our annals the •perches of M. de la liourdonnaye,, and
the Suntans of Wateslon. Bat surely such a fate ke' tins cannot
br * steerve for wt. Parorsoatwa has not yet alalstred France.
