PARIS, Sm. 20.
Accounts just received from Constantinople inform us that peace
WAS en'the paint of being concluded between Russia aril Turkey.
From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday.
ODESSA, Sm. 2.
Corn, especially wheat, is rising; several houses at Constanti-
nople, hoping that peace would soon be restored, have already
given considerable orders for that article.
It is affirmed, that when the Counsellor Fonton was sent for the
first time to the camp of the Grand Vizier, the Porte was made
acquainted with the conditions which Russia requires for the con-
clusion of peace, and that the Sultan did nut consider them as ex-
travagant. The silence of the Ottoman Ministers towards the
European Envoys on this subject may well surprise us, and clearly
indicates a rooted distrust in the Porte with respect to all the

Christian Powers.
Pasts, Sari. 21.—The Journal dss Nord of the 19th Sept.
says—" We have this moment learned that a courier from Berlin
arrived at Lille this morning, bringing the news that peace had been
concluded on the 7th between Russia and the Ottoman Porte.
" This news was immediately transmitted by telegraph to Paris."
This news is premature. Letters from Constantinople, dated
29th August, which have come by way of Berlin, only announce
that peace was nearly concluded.

PARIS, Sm.. 20.
A letter from Dresden, of 12th of September, announces that it
was generally believed at Warsaw that the command of the Polish
troops would be given to Coont Sacken, General-in Chief of the
II ussian Army of the West. This General is said to be of a mild
and conciliatory disposition. whereas the Grand Duke Constantine
is reproached for several arbitrary acts, which had excited discon-
tent among the Polish troops.
A letter from Madrid, of the 6th, says that negotiations are
going to be opened between France and Spain relative to Gueb-
hard's Loan.

AGONY or The MINISTRY.—For fifteen years the counter-revo-
lution has been at war with France, sometimes openly and some-
times covertly ; it has never granted us a few moments breathing
time, except the better to betray us.
The old regime excited the public laughter, when, with its gro-
tesque tinsel, it showed itself again to a generation which had for-
gotten it. It then attempted to be cruel to avoid tieing ridiculous,
but only succeeded in exciting horror without ceasing to excite
ilty. Odious to the Prince which had given the Charter, and to
the nation, it was struck with a blow on the sth of September,
from which it never arose except by hypocrisy. Affecting to lay
aside the liveries of the feudal system, it concealed them under the
gown used by the League : not knowing how to be religious, it
became Jesuitical. For four or five years its power lasted, but at
the first appeal to the country all its scaffolding fell.
But now it re-appears in France. To place itself in power was
not difficult, but to maintain itself there is what it never thought
A. It is a prisoner in tke midst of free institutions ; their meek
follies are the bars of the cage wherein it roars, but where it acts
not : it gnaws, it bites them, but cannot break them : it is reduced
to sigh violence : it Is a paralytic in a rage : it wishes to strike, and
sannot raise its arm.
From the Journal des Debats.
PARIS, Seri.. 21.
No person is aware, probably, in France, of the great danger
from which we escaped some days before the installation of the
new Ministry. What! it will be exclaimed from all sides---we
were threatened on August Bth with a greater danger than reached
us on August 9th ! Yes, incredulous people!—yes, Revolutionists!
who wish to keep France a Constitutional and Monarchical coun-
try, who are obstinate in believing that the Chamber of Louis
X 'III. and the oaths of his August Brother, have settled for
ever the question of the Restoration—know all of you, that there
existed a vast conspiracy in the first days of August against the
Throne, the Altar, against Legitimacy, against every thing which
you appear to hallow with your love and your respect.
The torus of it is not mentioned—its boundaries and ramifica-
tions are not yet ascertained; who are the men who conceived it
is not known—those who were to execute it are not yet discovered
—if it were to break out in Paris or in the provinces, in the
Chamber or in the Barracks, or in the Suburbs, is not stated.—
Neither is it known in favour of whom or of what it proceeded,
su entirely in the dark is the object of its odious machinations.
Never mind—this frightful conspiracy is discovered ; one link is
seized, a month has been employed in finding a second ; and if
there are many others, years may be employed in tracing them all,
in order to cut the Gordian knot with a single blow. The Minis-
ters only require time. Do not, however, refuse them the budget
in the meantime.
During the time which preceded the fall of the late Ministers,
and the accession of the present, the confidants of the party whis-
pered, that since the close of the Session the revolution was on
too:, and that the aerjeants of M. de 13elleyme bowed down before
it. They were astonished at his inactivity ; for except two or
three visits to the directing committee, not the smallest act ever
came before the Correctional Police. What audacity !
'1 he old Ministry was then occupied in supplying the provinces
th it were exposed to want from the last bad harvest, and were
threatened with still greater want by a season that came in under
unfavourable auspices. Order was preserved in the markets, and
theatres most susceptible of agitation were in deep repose. Not a
voice, not a gesture which recalled to mind our misfortunes, was
heard, and there was calmness on the whole surface of France.
But you are not aware, then, that the Ministers, occupied with
these frivolous things, shut their eyes to the danger with which
Mcnarchy was suddenly threatened. Happily their want of seal
was supplied by the watchfulness which existed. Where do you
think ?—at Bordeaux ?—at Lyons?—at Marseilles? No ;at Turin.
Let it not be said that the Jesuits are good for nothing. What!
ati..r the Ordinances of June; after the closing of St. Acheul and
Montmorillon ; after the retreat of blontrouge, and the persecu-
tions of N. de Vatismenil from their head-quarters—they still
watch over the ungrateful people, who wish, above all things. to re-
duce them to obedience to the laws of the country. They devined
the danger, they signalised it—they offeted the means of stifling
the number before itv will. This was six weeks ago, and St.
Acheul is not yet re-opened. Do you expect that they will dis-
t over a second conspiracy, after having been so badly paid for the
first? unlesv we are to consider the appointment of the Polignac
it'.inistty as the reward agreed on for the first discovery.
We have at Turin an Ambassador who knows France well • that
is a rare thing in our diplomatic body. His removal, it is said, is
:;needy proposed. When the internal machination was revealed
to him, lie W 34 likely to shrug up his shoulders, and we are assured
that a courier extraordinary brought the programme of the con-
spiracy to Paris at the beginning of August.
But let us say a few words to the successors. The portfolios
are, distributed, and the parts bound. They are called into a
situation which had become too important for those whom they
supersede. But what have they dime—these champions of Mo-
han:by—during the forty-three days they have been in power?—
Nothing. %Vhete are those men who used such high language be-
fore, but who now know not what to do? Where is al. flour-
donnaye, with his rhodontontades at the Tribune, and pusillanimity
hi action? He is one of those men who, after a defeat can recount
to you how you ought to proceed, in order to gain the victory, but
who have nut even the courage to fight.
