FRENCH PAPERS.

FROM THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE, APRIL 6.
SMYRNA, FssauszT 20.

A contagious disease has broken out in the port of
Scio, and has weakened the garrison to such a degree,
that unless it speedily receives considerable reinforce.
ments, it will not be able to hold out any longer. The
Pacha has, indeed, been to Chesme, to hasten the de-
parture of the reinforcements; but the passage of the
channel becomes the more difficult for vessels loaded
with troops, as the Greek vessels, nuw that*, season
has become more faiourable, may easily hinder them
from lauding.
Br order of the Government of Smyrna, who desires
to giv. the city the appearance of profound peace, the
Greeks hive been obliged to have masquerades during
the Carnival. The miniacs in the (ire. k hospital were
set at liberty, and supplied with masquerade dresses at
the expense of the Government. This strange spectacle
ended without any disorder, which is the more astonish-
ing, as among the Greeks there wete a greet many
dressed as armed Albanians, Dervises, and Effendis,
with their beards and turbans; and that at the end i,t
their promenade, they assembled before the Palace of
the Pacha, where 'they danced, and sting a hymn to
liberty. The Pacha received them very well, ordered
a ducat to be given to each dancer, and the turban of
the leader c,f the band to be adorned with a splendid
shawl.

CORFU, Fn. 28.
General Guillemioot is still he.e, and has taken a
house for three months. It is reported that not only
die return of the English and French Ambassadors is
expected, but also the arm ival of Envoys from the Porte
and Austria. We have hitherto no cenainty in this re-
spect ; the plan of shut) a Congteit has-been conceived
in London, but the execution appears to 1e attended

VIENNA, Razor' 25.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
froM Jassy say, that they are accurately in
fornied there.oF all that passes on the other side in the
Russian army^in Bestarabii. The c Jnfittence of some
young Russian officers at the head qiiarteri of Kische-1
noff, who boasted that the Russian colours world be
hoisted -at Constantinople by St. George's Day, is much
spoken of. In general, officers and soldiers were all
eager for the signal to pass the river, and invade the
Ottomao territory.
The Tistkish garrison of Braclow' has lately beats
reinforced with 1,000 chosen troops, disciplined in the
European manner. A great quantity' of a:l:munition
and provisions has been conveyed into it.
Thz accounts we receive from the Buckowinr, the
Bannot of Temeswar, Sclavonia, and Croatia, say that.
the Austrian troops assembled on tho•e several points
are already in considerable force. The regiments sta-
tioned in Hungary, which, by order of the Aulic Coun-
cil of War, were to reinforce the cordon on the fron-
tiers of Servia, have retched their destination. The
army in that quarter is estimated at nearly 40,0:,t0 men,
infantry, cavalry, and artillery. But what excites the
most serious conjectures among our politicians is, that
ihr Turks, as we ,bave..before observed, do not appear
to.be at all alarmed at the assembling of our troops
near their frontier, since they send ad their forces to.
wards Adrianople. It seems, indeed, that a perfectly'
goOd
.undeistanding prevails between the military of
the two nations, for it is affirmed that the superior Aus-
trian.officers often leave their he'd quartets to spend
some' days at .Belgrade, where thty are perfectly well
received by the Pacha.

The seventeen frontier regiments have been brought
to their lull complement; it is said they Will have with
them several batteries of field artillery; which will be
assembled partly at Semlin, and partly at Temeswar.
Opinions are remarkably dividea on the result .4 the
first cannon shot that shall be fired on the Pr nth ; some
oersons think that Atistri in conceit with Fiance and
England, will join the Turks, to prevent the dismem-
berment of the Ottoman Enipire,; Others, on the con-
trary, say, that our Cabinet remains neutral, taking,
however, under its protection, Servia, Bosnia, and part
of Wallachia. Time must soon refute or confirm such
Conjectures, and it is believed that the month of May
wilt be rendered remarkable by events of great im-
portance.

VIENNA, MAscis 25.
Yesterday the Russian Ambassador, M. de Tatischef,•
announced definitively to Prince Mcternich, that after
the disingenuous and provilking conduct of the Potte,
his Sovereign would take, without further delay, those
steps which had become necessary to assert the dignity
and protect the interests of his Empire. This news has
created a great sensation here.
• MAhCH 26.—The news from Constantinople is paci-
fic ; nevertheless our funds are considerably depressed,
in consequence of the declaration of the Russian Court.
Letttrs from Trieste, of the 20th instant state, that M.
Ribeaopierre would rejoin his family at Florence, in
'thec,,tirse of a few days, and that he wculd there wait
:for ultimate instructions from his Court. What, after
Oat, will become of the Congress of Corfu?
