FRENCH' PAPERS.

FROM THE MES;AGEK DES CHAMBRES.
PARIS, Asc. S.
Our expedition to the Nlorea is in full execution, and
ions noble idea of the King of Ft ante is prosecuted un-
der the double influence of the popularity, truly Fiench,
which has embraced it, and of the Ministerial activity
which is charged to watch over and to conduct it.
The pride of the nation cannot see, without a return
of patriotic consolation, that of all the great Powers of
Europe, France is the only one which is able to act effi•
caciously for the great cause. Two sentiments, indeed,
are called into existence at the aspect of our determina-
tion--.first, sympathy fur all enfranchisement, the satis-
faction of reckoning the noble house of France among
the protectors of an oppressed Christian people; se•
cundly, and in a higher degree perhaps, the happiness of
our reviving dignity, and of our recovered European
action. It is sufficient, sometimes, for nations to show
their importance, that it may be afterwards acknow-
ledged, and to interrupt, in some measure, their past
inaction, to renew their glory: In either case, a guaran-
tee of independence and of peace is to be found in the
demonstration cf an energy, which, exercising itself
only upon an inoffensive object, does not, for that tea-,
son, show in a less degree what may be expected from
a Power jealous of its honour. The Morca, then, sill
become the particular point of our attention, since the
French expedition, of which it is the object, opens taus
a career of lively and national interest. It islnown

FROM THE GAZETTE Ds FRANCE, AUG. 11.
TRIEST'E, JULY 31.
Merchants' letters from Ancona announce that Grunt
Capo d'lstria, President of Greece, had arrived on the
13th at Corfu, with the Secretary of State Triknupis,
on board the Russian ship of the line the Azoff. ou
hoard of which was Admiral Heyden. Count C tpn
d'istria had had, at N tvarin, a long interview with Ibra-
him Pacha, Count Heyden being present; and in which
the Egyptian Commander is said to have bound him-
self t 3 evacuate the Morea at the end of August, and
to deliver up to the Greek authorities .the tot tresses
which were still in his hands. An
.Egyptian ship of
war is said to have been immediately sent to Alexan-
dria to infirm Mehemet Ali of the situation of aff.irs,
and to ask him for transports to bring away the Egyp-
tian troops which are in Greece. . The same letters gay
that Admiral Rigny was at Corfu, where Admiral Cod-
rington, who had had at Zante an interview with Count
Capo d'lstria, was expected, as well as Mr. Stratford
Canning. It was thought that the conferences on the
pacification and independence of Greece, at which
Count Capo d'lstria is to be present, would soon com-
mence.

Meantime the blockade of the ports which the Elyp-
(jails Ilia hold in Greece continues in the tvictest man-
ner, and some Egyptian vessels attempting to violate it
at Modon, are said to have been sunk by Vie ships of
war of the Allied Powers. There is a report here aho
of the blockade f Altrandria and the Dardanelles by
the allied squadrons, in case the evacuation of the Mo-
rea should not take place; and it is added, that tt.is
measure would even be combined with a landing, if
Mehemet Ali should refuse to recall his son, or if the
Porte should not ratify the stipulations which may be
agreed upon at Corfu.

ROYAL COURT OF PARIS. &cuss 4.
THE POET AND THE HPHOLETItitER.

This was an appeal front the sentence of the S:xth
Chamber of Police Correctionelle, which had sentenced
M. Jubert, an upholsterer, to a month's imprisonment
and a fine of two hundred francs, for an assault ur on
the Baron Amedie de Tissnt, a poet. The case, as st ated
by the appellant, was as follows:
On the 18th of May last, accompanied by a Lady, I
went to the house of Madame Oilier, where was Mdll .
Eugenie Dieu!, whom I visaed (Jequentais). I went
for the purpose of taking her for a walk. When I at.
rived, she told me that M. Amedie de Tissot had said
to her, "If you (tu) will not walk with him, but come
and dine wit') me, I will give you 25 francs:' Tnis in-
formation did nut please me.
PRESIDENT—..WeII, what was that to you?
Appellant—A great deal; because I vi,ited her for a
legitimate motive r f honour, and I did not choose t•,
have my acq, taintance insulted, since it was an acquaint-
ance for a good motive; I do not kn we why he tutoyed
(avoit tutoyet) Mademoiselle Eugene; she was scar-
dalized at it. I went to M. Tissot and asked him for
the private reasons which had indite:el him to tutoyer
her without any permission. Tissot (le nomnte Tissot
was stated by the appellanyhe word nomme being used
in contempt of the tide of the plaintiff) told me that it
did not concern me. I approached him—he repulsed
nie—l repulsed him again, and we scuffled.. He en-
deavouted to give me internal kicks in my head. I got
one on the knee which marked me. The nomme Tissot
has obtained medical certificates of his kicks. I asked
for none, for I carry personal certificate;. I repeat, that
Mademoiselle felt herself grossly insulted at being
tut* by this Tissot (et 'tontine Tissot).
The PRESIDENT--NOU hear this, M. Tissot; what have
you to say to it?
M. 'Tissot—M. le President, I do not remember hav-
ing tuloyi Miss Eugenie. You will see her presently.
They say I offered her 25 francs; you shall judge whe-
ther she is worth the fifth part of that sum. Five francs
would certainly be too much.
Dreuz was then called, and came forward. She
is a young girl of eighteen years and a half, with small
eyes, which she fixed on the ground. She works at the
upholstery trade. Her evidence was similar t..) that o
the appellant.)
Other witnesses having been called by the appellant,
. M. LEDittl, his Counsel, addiessed.the Court—Gen-
tlemen, said he, my client is nor,.as M. de Tissot in his
letters to the Pro;:uieur du Roi pretended, one of those
miserable and degraded wieteies who infest the Boole.
yards—

M. de TISSOT—I did not say that.
Appellant—Hind your tongue.
M. LEDRU--.A. Jubert, the appellant is a man well
established, and in a flourishing metcar.tile position.—
He is not, I avow, a literary character, a poet—he dues
not, like M. de Tissot, frequent the height of Parnassus.
He makes bad prose, but good tables. In a word, al-,
though his verbs and nouns harmonize badly enough,
he is known with credit and honour among upholsterers, I
and you saw him only two days ago as witness in a
cause in which a swindler had robbed him of 2,000
francs. As to Mademoiselle Dreux, she is not rich ;
she is a young workwoman who, by her good conduct,'.
has merited the homage of M. Jubert. He pays his'
addresses to her : on Sundays, they take a sentimi•ntil
walk together, and all for the good motive (pour le bola
motif). The kicking was reciprocal, but M. de Tissot
was certainly the aggressor. He insulted a woman in
what is most dear to her—her honour; and shall we
make it a crime that Jubert, my client, could not sup-
press his indignation ? Let us see what M. de Tissot,
our adversary, has said in one of his poems, when si cak-
ing of seducers :
en lapidait jadis on tea faimit
Et pour ce 066.111 es turca font empaler."
In older to prove to you to what a pitch M. de Tissot
carried his•desire for revenge, I will read to you some
extracts of letters which he sent to the Procureur dtr
ltoi. You will then judge of the morality of the cause.
In the first of these letters he says—" I was insulted bar-
barouily by a wretch. When I had escaped, not from
t To address a person in Frs:nch by the pronoun to (thou),
stead of vow (you), is to tiatoycr. It is considered a gie.it freedom,

M. DEGBRANDL), the Advocate of M. Tissot, said,
"Jealousy may sometime; be a pathetic and interesting,
and even an excusab'e passion ; but when the ()Mello it

such a tragical parody—viz. the confirmation, of the
judgment which sentenced M. Ja'3eit to a nymth's
im-
prisonment and '2OO francs damages." .
The Court, after a short deliberation. reduced the sen.
tmce of the 6th Chamber to five days' imprisonment,
and 25 francs damages.

HORI ISLE P 4RRICIDE.

The Assize Court for the department rf the Seine and
Oise, was occupied throughout Saturday with a trial
for the mo.t unnatural crime of parricide. Ange-
Ugric Dasey, aged thirty-siz years, living in the
neighbourh,md of Mantes, was charged with having,
without any other motive than that of av trice, put
an end to the life of her mother, by strangling her with
a cord. So strong were suspicions against her, th t
in the first Instance she confessed tar the ptrretration of
the crime, but retracted subsequently on the trial. She
behaved with much indifference, stating that her mother
had died suddenly; the fact, however, of the murder
was indubitably proved by the evidence of the Surgeon
and others.

She was found Guilty, and sentenced to death. She

feet ; her head will be clvered with a veil, anu her right
hand amputated.
