FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, Jun 2.

M. de Palmella left Paris the day before yesterday to
return to London, from which place it is said that he
will proceed to the island of Terceira, where he will
establish a Regency in the name of Donna Maria da.
Gloria. It is very probable that M. de Palmella will go
from the island of Terceira to Brasil, according to in•
structions which he is to receive at London from the
Queen Donna Maria and Count de Barbacena.

The Journal du Couenterca says that the measure of
establishing a Regency in Terceira is said to be ap-
proved by the Cabinets of France and England. and
that a Convention on the subject had been signed by
the two Courts.

The Moniteur of to-day contains, in the official part,
an Ordinance of the King, relative to the organization
of the general staff in fortified places.
Yesterday, on Change, a list of Ministers was circu-
lated, which an intrigue would put in the place of thu
present Ministry. In this list we find two Ministers of
War, and two of Finance, doubtless to realise the plan
announced by the Journal dcs Debats, of raising to 14
the number of Secretaries of State, as in England.

Letters from Madrid announce that the inscription of
80,000,000 has been placed in the bands of M.St.Priest,
our Ambassador at Madrid, in conformity with the
tre.rty signed on the 30th of December last in that ca-
pita. These letters add, that the Spanish Government
has placed at the disposal of its banker in Pais all the
quicksilver at Seville and Almaden, which amounts to
20.000 quintals, in order to meet the payments of the
interest for the first half year. There have been various
other accounts of the manner in which this quicksilver
was to be employed; we shall see whether the present
account is correct.

We were. unfortunately, correct when we announced
on the 2d ult. that the nest average price of corn would
probably show a rise. The table fixing the prices of
corn published by the Minister of the Interior, states
the general average of all Fiance at £41.50c. per hec-
tolitre for wheat. Last month the puke was 22f. 45c.
The data on which the price is founded are up to the
15th of May; since that time prices have fallen in
many places, and as the appearance of the harvest is in
general good, we may flatter ourselves that the nest
average price will be more satisfactory than that which
we now publish.

NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR.

WASSAIIN MAT 26.
The campaign on the Danube has commenced with
the investment of the important fortress of Silistria,
which has been executed with equal energy and success.
The head quarters were removed some time ago to
Czernowody. Count Diebitsch having collected many
troops there, advanced on the 13th of May. at the head
of 21 battalions, 16 squadrons of cavalry, and some re•
giments of Cossacks, by way of Kuzgown, towards Si-
listria. The great road, by way of Rasserat, was still
under water, in consequence of the overflowing of the
Danube, and the troops bad difficulties of all kinds to
overcome, in consequence of the badness of the roads ;
but the idea of marching against the enemy caused
them to bear all hardships•wrth the greatest zeal.
On the 17th of May, at three o'clock in the after-
noon, the Corps reached the village of Almalni, five
wersts from Silistria. without having fallen in with the
enemy nn their march. Here the Commander in Chief
divided his Corps into three columns; the light under
Lieut. General Bartholomey; the centre u.•der Major
General Laschkiewitsch ; and the left under Lieutenant
General Krauowsky. The first fell in with the ene•
my about 5,000 strong, who occupied souse entrench-
ments which we erected last year, two wersts from
Silistria. A brisk attack made by a regiment of,
Cossacks, under the eye of the Commander in Chief.'
spun a mass of Turkish cavalry posted upon the
hei,:hts, was the signal for a general battle. The in-1
tantry, which quickly followed, attacked with equal
zeal, the enemy was broken, and in less than a quarter
of an hour driven from all the works which he occupied
on that point. The centre column followed this MlT-
pie, but the left column met with greater re.istance,
and as, it had a longer march to make, it did not arrive
till two o'clock in the afternoon. General Krassowsky
having given his troops an hour's rest, led them against
two strong redoubts, which were very advantageously
situated, and which were taken in a moment. The
Turks, who were driven back at every point, now
thought of only getting back into the fortress.
Our flotilla on the Danube, commanded by Rear
Admiral Patiniotti. supported these movements; so
that the investment of the very extensive fortress of
Silistria was not only effected in a single day, but the
troops advanced within the distance of cannon-shot of
the walls. In the following night our Cossacks took a
Turkish courier, sent by the Poch* of Silistria to the
Grand Vizir at Schunsla, to inform him of the invest.
meat of the place, and earnestly begging assistance.
The loss of the enemy on the 17th of May may be
labout 400 or 500 men killed and wounded ; ours is
about 150 men killed and wounded. The bridge built
at Kalarasch, the completion of which was delayed ►y
this overflowing of the river. will be finished in two or
Ithree days, and, as well as the bridge at Hirsowa. will
facilitate the communication with the left bank of the
Danube. The communication of the besieging corps
with Bazardjick, Kusludji, and Pravadi, are fully se-
cured, and the detachments sent out to scour the
country have only met with a few straggling parties of
the enemy.
Adjutant Greig, having been informed at Sizeboli of
the appearance of the Turkish fleet in the Black Sea,
hastened with theaquadron oilier his command to go
to meet it.t
