FRENCH PAPERS.

From the Messages des Chanibres of Saturday—
Second Edition.

The Chevalier de Barbosa, Brazilian Captain of Engineers, and
Messenger to the Embassy, went through Paris yesterday, coating
front Rio Janeiro, and going with the greatest speed to Munich.
The purport of his journey is not made public; however, it is
known that it relates to the marriage of Don Pedro.
The wind was so violent last night that a great number of trees
in the Clause& du Main were torn up hy their roots. A very ele-
gant routed. on the Pout des Arts, used as a anima obscure, was
also blown down.

It is stated from'St. Petersburgh, that for some time past the
French Ambassador. N. de Mortemart, has taken no part in di-
plomatic affairs.
It is mentioned in the Goortiede Si. Peinviurgh that his Majesty
the Emperor has appointed Countess Diebitsch as Lady of Honour
to the Empress, as a mark of his high esteem for the distinguished
s•rvices rendered by her husband to the empire.
The two ffagllsh steam-boats. George the Fourth and Camilla,
which left Southampton at nearly the same time in the evening,
arrived together at seven o'clock the nut morning at Havre. They
had a great number of passengers un board. amongst whom was
Lord Cochrane.

A Russian sailor, who bad been thrown into the sea by an Ame-
rican, in the Port of Havre, and drowned, during a contest that
bad taken place between them and the Americans, was found still
holding in his band, with hie gingers contracted, the knife which
he had made use of to defend himself. The police have taken cog-
nisance of this affair, in which several tailors were most severely
wounded.

We are informed from Laval, that the Portuguese emigrants
who have been residing there for some months have received an
intimation from the Prefect of the Department that they are to be
di•aeminated in various parts of France, and that they Will receive
their route by the 13th of this month, as Government will not
allow more than six officers or 12 men in each town. The grief of
these brave men cannot be depicted ; they say that the French
emigrants were treated quite in another manner in title country ;
the priests were well lodged in the convents, and the officers ad-
mitted into their army.
EGYPt—ALI• XANDRIA, Am. 7.
The military organisation of Egypt has undergone a great num-
ber of changes: it is at present entirely in the hands of Ibrahim
Pacha, as the Viceroy appears to have only reserved to himself a
small portion of the Administration, principally that relative to
agriculture. His son, who front his earliest infancy has 'hewn a
decided turn for arms. will most likely carry the military profes-
sion in Egypt as far as be possibly can, at least as far as his finances
will allow. It is to be expected that in a few years the army
will not only be considerably increased, but also put on the most
respectable footing
Ibrahim Pacha adopts the system of employing the soldiers, as
soon as they are perfect in their exercise, in works of public utility.
Is was by this means that the Romans were enabled to construct
their colossal buildings, and by occupying thousands of hands were
enabled to erect buildings, the grandeur of which strikes with
astonishment even the men of our age, which is so fertile
in inventions. This system offers a double advantage—that
of providing for works which it would have been impossible
to have undertaken by paying workmen; and also that of keep-
ing in vigour men accustomed to work, and who can support
all kinds of fatigue: The Viceroy and his son still continue at
Alexandria. Among the Nobles of the Court about them is
Varna Babri, who bolds a high office in the Treasury, and in whom
his Royal Highness reposes great confidence. Councils are fre-
quently held ; and the question relating to a general reform in the
Administration, which has already been in agitation for several
months, is minutely examined. Many iniuential persons in the
Council have given their opinion that henceforth the Government
ought not to export any produce on its own account, but completely
to abandon exportation to merchants. Should 31ebenset Ali assent
to this %Mien, and allow it to be adopted, it will be an important
amelioration to European commerce.
MADRID, Oce. 2.—(Be &rani.)

occialon of the marriage of his Majesty King Ferdinand VII. and
