PARIS, Juts, 9.
The German Journals do not bring us ant interesting news from
the theatre of war; however we must soon receive important par-
ticulars of the consequences of the victory at Pravadi, which was
so glorions to the Russian army. Among the causes which have
always troubled the Turkish empire and increased its weakness
must be reckoned the divisions between the several Pachas.and

_ . .
the jealousies which they inspire. It Is stated-that the reason which
has hindered the Pada of Egypt from sending troops into Armenia
is not only the plague, but the manifest Intention of the Naha of
&. Jean d'Acre to oppose the passage of the Egyptian troops.

lin the Azores themselves, that, on the eid of June. several ships,
among which was the English schooner the Exquisite, succeeded
in boding at Terceira the distinguished persons who had em-
barked at Havre and in England to reinforce the Constitutional
party in that faithful island. On the receipt of this news St. Mi-
chael's revolted against the IligueUte garrison even in the presence
of the ships forming the blockading squadron, and the standard of
Donna Maria is probably now hoisted at that important place."

CHAMBER OF DEPOT

OF JULY 9.

The discussion of the project of a law for opening an eventual
credit for fifty two millions (francs), for the service of 1829, was
the Order of the IN).
General Lafayette professed to leave to other orators the care
of entering into details that were more suitable to them than to
him. He did not see, in the great quarrel of the East, any thing
more than the importance of an ititenuediate State in what is
called the balance of power in Europe. There was a vast and
powerful league, which desired to command and brutalise the
human specks. It had oppressed Italy. devastated the Penin-
sula, and had disturbed other States. Its chief seat is Vienna,
and Don Miguel its ideal type. England has pretended to set
up another system, but it was only to lure States to their ruin.
It was the business of France to place herself at the bead of
civilization—her glory, her interest, and her ambition required
It; but to fulfil this noble dlatiny, it was necessary that the
Government should determine not to fear either a nation re-
presented or a nation armed; and renouncing old coonectione, it
should say to foreign Powers "After Gon, it is w the French people
that lam indebted for being placed above your influence, and
beyond your preteetiene. The Greeks took up arms to free them-
selves from the tribute they paid to the Turks-40 reconstruct
their Government, and to govern themselves. The Protocol re-
Imposed the tribute, left a large pan of Greece out of its domi-
nions : and to govern the remainder, they were to seek a Prince.who
would be the Hospodar both to the East and the West, in whom
the Greeks would only see a vassal of the Porte, and an additional
tribute to pay. This might suit the views of England and Russia,
but not France, who must desire to have a powerful guidon as a
barrier to the ambition both of the conqueror and the merchants.
On this subject explanations were required. In condemning the
conduct of the French Ministry in giving up Galan. the General
asked If Dee Miguel came with the decision *a Coon in his
hands spinet a Portuguese refugee—would they believe a two.
who, in the Palace of the King, murdered with his own bend the
Marquess of Louie 7—would they believe Don Miguel and his
Judges?
General &basting complained that the old Ministry had be-
*embed the country a miserable inheritance of polideal faults, and
to repair them was the first duty aka predecessors. The, uneasi-
ness he bad twice manifested in the Chamber of Deputies relative
to Greece was well founded. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
would my, that the Protocol *bed at Loudon was the necessary
eenerepmemos of the Treaty signed at London, which reserved the
eight of sovereignty in chief to the Porte. and the right of tribute.
l'hee Treaty was set on foot by England, who wished to take from
Inside every pretest tar war. and to waken aslitde as possible the
Ottoman empire. Rada, by coneemiog to the Treaty, secured the
neutrelity of England and Franee,asd estotiumed in Greece a diver-
sion that was rad te miens en the Demobs. hi tbe Protocol
there was notli bit obeeirity and bwebereeee ; and it seemed
se if it bad been drawn up to reader any Treaty impossible.--
Ty Mirk, said that ally the met amid take away what the

sword had given ; and the battle of Navarin and the occupation
of the Moen were the only arguments they understood. If the
Contracting Powers wished foe the liberation of Greece. they
would have facilitated the conquest of the land to the south of the
I line mentioned in the Protocol, and would have negotiated a long
truce with the Porte. which might have been done. But we cannot
believe in the sincerity of these Powers. At London and Paris the
tergiversations had been the same, and political principles bad been
proclaimed and abandoned. A■ English army was sent to Por
toga). to protect the rights of Duo Pedro and his daughter ; it soon
went hack to England, abandoning the men who had supported the
cause, and even shooting at them at Terceira, where they went to
seek an asylum, in a corner of the earth still faithful to the Sovereign,
whose cause had not been embraced by the Cabinet of St. James's.
Al. Portals replied to
.General Sebastiani, and complained of
his being obliged to keep %Metier on subjects un which they, know-
ing nothing, would talk at hazard. Thy protocol, he said, if it ex-
isted, contained the secret instructions given to the Plenipotentiaries
sent to Turkey, which be could not explain. He contended that
they would be found in strict conformity with the Treaty of the
6th of July. If the Porte should persist tit refuskog conciliatory
propositions. that would call a new series of events into exigence.
There was no comparison between an independent Prince and an
Hospodar, who was the temporary creature of the Sultan. After
a long discussion, in which M. Alartignac and M. 11. Constant.
with other Deputies, took part, the further discussion of the ques-
tion of credit was adjourued at siz o'clock.
