FRENCH PAPERS.

From the Messager des Chambres of Monday.

SECOND EDITION.
PARIS, Sm. 14.
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Aug. 30.

Letters written from Sophia, by persons worthy of credit, inform
us that the Russian army has left Adrianople; that one column bas
taken the road to Fery, near the Gulf of Enos; but that the main
body of the army marches towards Constantinople. It is sup-
posed that the troops tent on the road co Fery are destined to
form a junction with the Russian squadron stationed off the Dar-
danelles. This mansuvre greatly alarms the inhabitants of So-
phia. It is certain that the appearance of the Russian troops on
the coasts of the Archipelago greatly endangers the castles
of the Dardanelles, and that a fermentation may manifest itself in
the capital when the news of this two-fold threatening approach of
the enemy should be known there. But if the people revolt, the
life of the Sultan, en which the fate of the Empire depends, wilt
undoubtedly be la the greatest danger. The rapidity of the ope-
ration' of General Dlebitsets evidently proves that he distrusts the
good faith of the Turkish Government, and that he intends to com-
pel it to make peace as soon as possible ; fur atter all the attempts at
negociation on the part of the Turks, and the fatigue his army has
undergone, he must himself be desirous to give bis troops repose.
The Turks of Belgrade are discouraged since the last news re-
ceived from the theatre of war ; while, on the other hand, the
Greeks and the Servians can hardly conceal their joy. A mer-
chant at Constantinople has just written to his factor here to keep
till farther orders the goods which he had bespoke. It is through
the same channel that we learn that the Prussian General, -Muf-
fling, bad prepared to quiz the capital, after having delivered
a note to the Turkish Government. M. Von Zuylen, the
Ambassador of the Netherlands, Is said to have already left the
capital.
From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday.

Letters from Constantinople of the 20th add nothing to the
news of the 17th. Tranquillity prevailed in the city.
It is believed that General Diebitsch has already occupied the
Dardanelles, and that be is endeavouring to make himself muter
of all the points of communication by which the capital is supplied
with provisions.
Admiral Malcolm's squadron bad quitted Ipsara. and was at
Vourla on the 25th.

It was firmly believed that the negotiations for peace will have
a happy result.
We were led into a mistake yesterday by our correspondent,
respecting the contents of the Austria* 06seruue► of the .:th. The
fallowing is the article, as we read it this morning :
" According to the news front Constantinople of 17th August.
the Porte, adhering to the principal articles of the Treaty of the
6th of July, and having been induced to this step by the united
representations of the Ambassadors of England, France, Austria,
and Prussia, has given orders to the Grand Vizier to send Pleat-
potentiaries to General Diebitsch, for the purpose of opening.
without delay, negotiations for peace."
Tuffs news, therefore, is precisely the same as that we gave ..
week ago. a a .

The 51iniiinir of this day contains a report to the King from M.
de la liourdunnaye, in which hesays that the retrenchments made
in his budget for the year ltlXi nuke 4t necessary to think of some
means of effecting a saying and with this view be TWoeoses to
suppress the four inspectors of the book trade at Paris, who receive
each a salsry:sit .5 000 trance a-year. This report is followed by an
ordonnatice of the King, suppressing thee inspectors, and trans-
tarring to the commissaries of police their functions.
