FRENCH PAPERS.

RECEIVED LAST MOUT:

The Eteile contradicts a statement given in the rfra-
peau Blanc and the Ceastitidialvtel, that 4,000 Ultra.
Royalists in arms, under the command of a Chief called
Misas, had proclaimed Charles V. in Catalonia, and
, were traversing that extensive and important province
' in all directions, to cause his authority to be recognised.
It denies in particular that any attempt had been made
to surprise the Seu d'Urgel, on the gtound that a French
garrison holds that fortre's.
Accounts from Tarsons, in the same Paper, state that
the plague had almost destroyed the whole population
of Adana. A cordon of troops was drawn round that
place, and the few inhabitants whom the plague had
spared were perishing from the infection caused by
hundreds of corpses left unburied in the houses. The
Pacha had brought the plague in his suite to Tarsons,
and from fifteen to twenty individuals died out of every
SO attacked. At Adana, the proportion was forty-nine
deaths out of every fifty cases.
Coto:well,* Hoffman, PresiJent of the Greek Com-
mittee at Stotgard, offered a reward of 50,000 florins to
any one who •should prove that the interest excited in
behalf of oppressed Christians had been used as a pre-
tence by German demigigues to cdnceal dangerous
plots against their own Governments. The writer of
the original assertion has replied through the Has:burgh
Corscspondenten,.and has produced documents printed
by the High Tribunal of Bre.law, from which it appears
that an individual of the name of Smidt, who had been
commissioned by Eirdn Dalberg, in 1821, to raise
'German legion for the service of Greece, proposed to
the Members of the Secret Society of Jena to stop on
the frontiers of Germany with his legion, when it should
have been raised, and to turn its force against any one of
the German Governments which they might think pro=
per. This offer, we aretold, was joyfully accepted by
the associates of Hall, and yet no attempt Was made to
give it effect. Some considered 'its execution impossi-
ble, and it was resolved that the money subscribed
should continue to be applied to the assistance of
Greece. Even supposing this information to be 'correct,
it would merely prove thatone individual had attempted
to misapply the fruits of the interest felt tor the Greeks
to improper purposes, and that even then the offer was
ultimately rejected.
There is intelligence in these Papers from Lisbon to
the 21st ult. The Princess Regent had dissolved the
Commission charged with selecting localities for the
Chamber of Peers and that of Deputies, and had ap-
proved of its choice, which bad fallen on the Palace of
Rock for the Peers, and on the Terreiro del Pace for
the Deputies. Her Royal Highness had also decreed
the suppression of special commissions in civil and cri-
minal matters, and had dissolved the Junta of Conser-
vation of the Treasury, as incompatible with the new
organization which the Exchequer was to undergo in
consequence of the Constitutional Charter.
The Joanisal 4es Debate contains some intelligence
from Zante and Syra, which represents military affairs
in the Morea as having taken a decided turn in favour
of the Greeks. Ibrahim Pacha's invincibility vanished
the moment after he had entered the country of the
Maiuotera His cavalry, and even his regular infantry,
became useles sin the midst of defiles occupied by
Mainote tirailleurs, who fired upon them from all quar-
ters. Defeated in three attacks which he had to sustain,
and forced to a rapid and disastrous retreat, his army
was said to be reduced to 7000 men, with whom ne

could scarcely undertake to act again on the offensive.
Under those circumstances, it would have been highly
advantageous for the Greeks to hatrass and assail him ;
but the 4,000 Roumeliots who had come to Napoli di
Romania to be equipped, insisted on marching to the
relief of Athens, which was gallantly defended by
Goura, and thus allowed Ibrahim a breathing time to
revive the spirit of his army. The letters from Syra
confirm the destruction of a large Turkish vessel by the
Greek fire ships before Samos on the 28th of July. On
the 29th the Turks retui tied to the charge, and attacked
Admiral Sachtoury, who, with 35 or 40 light vessels,
bravely. sustained the battle. It was continuing still on
the 30th, but the advantage appeared to incline in
favour of the Greeks. Had not the most inconceivable

mismanagement, not to use a harsher but a juster word,
deprived Greece of the steam boats built at such an
expence for her, the appearance of Lord Cochrane at
such a moment at their head, would have decided her
fate for ever.

?ROM THE MOTE.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE

AUGSSURGH, Aim. 29.
The last news received from Constantinople, by
'way of Bucharest, ithrough which a courier dispatched
by the 'Rbssian Embassy passed on the 35th in great
haste to Akermanj is by no means satisfactory. Accord-
ing to this news, which, however, requires confirmation,
the capital*of the Ottoman Empire has been the theatre
of some tumultuous and sanguinary scenes. It appears
'that the 'Sultan, in pursuing his plansuf reform, has not
paid sufficient respect to the religious feelings of the
people, and what perhaps is worst% he has not been
sufficiently Mindful of the Uld and cherished customs
of the Minstilmen. Almost universal discontent has
been the necessary consequence of so unwise and impru-
dent a procedure, and the disposition of men's minds
which had been kept downxcime time from fear, inspired
by the violent measures of the Reformers at length dis-
played itself, by an insurrection of the populace of that
immense city, to which even the Ulemas, whose sub-
servience had 'previously been confidently relied on,
were, it is supposed, not altogether strangers. On the
day of the 4th, at the very moment that the Solt-+n was
to go to the Grand Mosque, to offer his customary
prayers, the fermentation, which up to that time had,
been displayed only by a sullen silence, burst out in
seditious cries among the crowd assembled round Um
place where his highness had to pass. The soldiers of
the GrateS Signior of the new organization disposed
themselves to seize the most outrageous, but ch..), op-
posed a resistance, which was not perhaps expected, and
compelled the soldiers to retrace their steps towards the
Seraglio. The mob began to follow up this apparent
advantage, but they were severely repulsed ; and for
that time their rash attempts had no other effect than
to make some hundreds of the boldest bite the dust.

During the night and next day, strdng patrols scoured the
streets of Constantinople, and of the suntans, in every sense
slaughtering every one who appeared suspicious. The courier left
the city while these things were going on, and ditnot,conseitently,
learn Se final result of this rash rising.
