FRENCH PAPERS.

FROM THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE, MAT 29.
JASSY, MAY 10.
The Governor General is busily engaged in orga-
nising the Administration of Moldavia. Our liospodar
has been taken to Bender. The Beckli Aga of Molda-
•ia has retired to Czernowitz, in the Austrian territory.
Several of his inferior Officers have been taken by the
Russians. The foreign Consuls, who at first intended to
leave Jassy, seem now to intend to remain there.t
It is announced that the Russians have taken Gallacz,
which had only an insignificant fort, accompanied by
a small number of Turks, who set fire to some houses,
and retreated towards Braila. They were pursued by a
considerable corps of Russians. Preparations are
making for the siege of the latter town, which will be
directed by the Grand Duke Michael in person. This
place has a very favourable military position, a garri-
son of 5.000 men, and is abundantly supplied with all
kinds of provisions. An obstinate resistance is expected.
The Emperor is to be at Ismail on the 18th, and it is
thought that he will immediately go to Bucharest, to
direct in person the operations of the army of the Danube.
Some persons say that Count Wittgenstein will remain
in the Principalities, while the Emperor will ad►ance
with the army to Constantinople.
Count "Nesselrode and M. de Mattuschiem are ex-
pected here on the 22d. Quarters are already prepared
for them.
M. de Stoumdza, who is at the head of one division
of the Foreign-office, is also coming here.
It is not known whether the Grand Duke Constantine
will come to the army. It is generally said he will
command the reserve% which is composed in a great
measure of the guards.
BUCHAREST, Maylo.
A division of the Russian army arrived yesterday at
Toczany, and will prob4bly enter the city to-morrow.
A strong division has marched from Toczany for the
Danube,

t The accounts from Vienna say, that the two Austrian Consuls
have returned to Austria.

Though the news of the cipture of the Mexican brig
of war Guerrero, by s Spanish frigate, has already been
given from the New York Papers, sortie of our readers
may be desirous rf seeing the following official account:
" Eztract of an Official Dispatch from Captain MAW[I2.I3, corn-
tnanding the Herman, to Commodore roars'', dated C.ayo-

liutso,iFebruary 14.
'' With extreme regret I have to announce to you the
loss of the brigantine Guerrero, and her brave com-
mander Doti David H. Porter, an officer whose services
were of the greatest importance to our navy, after a
desperate action with the frigate Lealtad, of fifty guns,
'and a crew three hundred strong, maintained on me
part of the Guerrero in so gallant and determined a
manner, that it may be said she has gained a victory,
though ultimately captured.
"As far as I have been able to learn the particulars
of this event, from friends in the Havannah and through
other sources, it appears that on the 10th the Guerrero
fell in with a squadron of small vessels under the
convoy of the Marte and Amelia brigs of war, the
former mounting 14 guns, and the latter 5. The
Guerreto engaged these brigs off Mariel, and da-
maged them so much that it was with difficulty they
escaped and took refuge under a battery to leeward,
which the Guerrero also attacked. As the acticn took
place close to the land, the news soon reached the Ha-
vannah. The Lealtad immediately put to sea, and in
half au hour reached the scene of the contest. The
Guerrero endeavoured to escape by bearing away for the
Tortugas, and 'maintained a running action at intervals
during the night. In the morning of thelith, however,
the two vessels came to close quarters, and continued
firing their respective broadsides during the whole
of the action, which lasted two hours and twenty'
minutes. The Guerrero having fired her last cartridge,
was obliged to strike. Captain Porter was killed at
the close of the action by a spent ball. Yesterday the
Guerrero was towed into the Havannah by the Lealtad.
'the Guerrero had both her masts carAied away, and
had received a number of shots between wind and
water. The enemy states the loss at 40 killed and
wounded, but this is uncertain. It isbelieved by many
at the savannah, that it the Guerrero had not run out
of ammunition, she would have captured the Lealtad;
at any rate she certainly would not have been taken.
" Captain Porter was to be interred this morning at
Ifivannah, with the honours of war. A note is added,
stating that. by
,strbsequent information it was learned,
that one of the Lieutenants of the Guerrero had been
killed In the action:

According to coniiier-cia-l-adriCes from several parts
of the Continent, the article of grain has been much in
mand of late. We find that on the 19th inst. there
were on the market of Marseilles, '20,000 loads on transit
account; 175.000 of home growth; and 7,000 sacks
of flour, going off rather briskly. At Leghorn, on the
10th of May, there were 340,000 sacks, of which
110,000 were for account cf an English merchant, who
would sot take less than '2O livres—a price so esorbi•
tarn asvo preclude the hope of the parcel being made
marketable on the place; but the owner was likely to
obtain his price at length, inasmuch as the remaining
21)0,000 sacks would only suffice for a few weeks con-
sumption. The last sales in Odessa soft wheat were
effected at Leghorn from 12 to 14. The same quality
obtained at Genoa, on the 17th, from 19 to 21 'lyres.
On the 23d, wheat continued to be in demand at Am-
maim and Brussels; and at Hamborgh, oa the 2.oth,
the hems were still numerous, though prices had ua•
dergoas no change.
