FRENCH PAPERS.

FROM THE GAZETTE HE FRANCE, MAY 3.
- BUCHAREST, APRIL 9.
We have no news, but continue to be in the,greatest
alarm. Things are in the same state at Jassey. It is.
said that the Austrian Consuls in the two Principalities
have received orders, as they did in the preceding in-
vasion, to cease their functions as soon as the Russians
shall enter, for the very natural reason, that their cre-
dentials are to the Hospodars. They are to retire into
Transylvania.

VIENNA, Arm. 23.
If we may believe mercantile letters from aiessa,
dated the 10th, official news had been received there
from St. Petersburgh, that the Russians had orders to
pass the Pi uth on the 22d.
It appears that, in truth, no official news on the sub.
ject has been received, but the numerous sales which
have taken place on the 'Change have caused our
funds to fall. Yesterday our merchants still enter-
tained hqpesot peace—to=day they are all apprehensive
of war.

.APRIL 23, IN THI EVENiN6.-;•At the close of the
'Change to day, it was generally asserted that merean,-
tile letters from the frontiers of Moldavia announced
that the Russians bad entered that province on the 17th.
This news, however, appears to nerd confirmation.—

FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, Ariz!. 15:
Travellers who quitted Sc. Petersburgh on the 7th,
say that ihe Emperor, at the late review of the troops,
announced to them that he would soon lead them to
battle, and that the soldiers received this news with
transports of joy. The letters-from Tulczin, say. that
the day for the entrance of the Russians into the Turk-
ish territories has not been fixed, as the European
Journals have said, but that it is supposed that it will
take place about the end of April.

People are impatient almost in. every country, but
especially in Germany, to predict the views f the
Russian Cabinet. According to several Journals, the
days for the passage of the Pruth, and the departure of
the Emperor Nicholas from St. Petersburgh, are irre-
vocably determined. It cannot be too often repeated,
that nothing certain, nothing official, has yet been said
on this subject.

...

Travellers are said to have related 'a •sort of speech,
made by his Imperial Majesty to his trocps, at a re-
view; and 'that the universal acclamations of the soldiers
replied to his promise to lead than to victory.
The St. Petersbergh Journals of a later date than the
7th have been received; but they do not say a word of
this incident; which is too important totre passed over
'in silence: and persons who have had an opportunity
of observing the prudent character of the young Em-
pelor orßusbia, do not recognize the spirit of reserve
by which be is directed in every thing, ihthitannouneos-
ment, which is much like those which; tvirettrY years
ago, were in the mouth of the Emperor Mille French. ;
Every thing indicates that no serious'ttrilitarroperal
tion can tate plate before the end of April ;, and the
Emperor Nicholas, though willing in • his • Otto rattle,
will, according to all appearance, do nothing-fttcept
concert with the principal Powers of Eirtope, 'and sc•
cording to the stipulations of the Treaty of therrth July.

PRIVATE CORRESPoNDENCE.
The military preparations in the pachalies of T sr ey

Pacl4s of Widdirr, Bosnia,
have each received orders, by tartar s 'dispajtched from
Constantinople, to direct to Adrianople al/ the digpo.
sable troops to be found in their respective territorits.—
We are even assured that the Vizier of Bosnia, Abdus
Rahman, has received an imperative order to send to-
wards Moldavia and Wallachia a body of troops
cised in the European way, of from thirteen to fenrteen
thousand men. 'Tough this news requires confirmation,
still it has caused a great sensation along the whole
Austrian line ; for by this sirqzle fact the Porte would
aJd to the grievances which Russia complains ot, by
acting in contravention of , the stipulations made at
Akernaann.

A train of artillery from Constantinople arrived five

the Emperor was in that city, and is likely to be found

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Esau, Arm. 29.
I mentioned to you, some short time ago, that one of
the greatest obstacles to the free and straight forward
march of the Government here arose from the King not
being satisfied with reigning, unless he may alsogovern—
that is to say, follow, in the administration of affairs,
the dictates of his own will, instead of the counsel of his
Ministers, vho are alone responsible for the conse-
quences. A circumstance which has just taken place
affords a new ana striking example of this dis-
cordancy between the Monarch and his Ministers—
a discordancy which, in a representative Government,
must be considered a vet itable anomaly, pregnant
with confusion and disorder. ' The circumstances
alluded to was the nomination to The place of Governor
to the Duke de Bourdeaux, vacant by the death of the
Duke de Itiviere. The Ministers proposed the Duke
d'Escars—a choice dictated by prucleine and delicacy,
for the Duke d'Escars has been always a faithfully at-
tached follower of• his_ Majtsty, and is not, saidi

.

•

either a Jesuit or a Villelist. The King refused to con-
firm this choice, and announced. that he had already
selected for the appointment Baron de Damas, who
was Minister for Foreign Affairs under the Adminis-
tration of M. de Villele. Baron de Damas is a
highly estimable and honourable person, but he is
thought not to possess that firmness of character
necessary to withstand the Coen
which influence and Je-
suitical intrigues,. to one in his situation is
likely; under the present circumstances, to be subjected.'
It is easy to conceive howalie Ministers must have felt
on seeing their candidate rejected, and so important an
appointment as that of Governor to the heir of the throne
given to one of the late Administratiim. What was-this
but proclaiming to the world the state of 'political impo-
tence With which they were afflicted, divesting them,in
the eyes of she public, of that consideration so necessary
to enable them to carry their good intentions into exe-
cution? What grievous impolicy ! Was it not, by such.
an act, to signalise to all France the misunderstanding
that exists bet s'etn the Monarch and his Ministers,
and to conv.ine the least clear-sighted that the King,
in naming them; lied very reluctantly yielded to pub-
lic opinion ? The Ministers protested, in very forcible
terms, against such a proceeding ; but their representa-
tions wire of no avail, the King constantly declaring
that the queition had nothing to do-with the Govern-
Ment ; that it was of a private and domestic nature; and
that, as a father of a family, he should be free to choose
the person he thought most proper as a Governor for his
son. The. answer to this was not difficult to find ; for;
inasmuch as the edocation of the heir to the throne
must exert a sinister or happy influence over the people
he will be called to govern, the choice of. the person
ssho is to direct and give a colour to that education
should no more be considered as an act of private or do-
mestic regulation than the appointment of any other
important public functionary." These and other similar
aaguments Were urged without any effect. It has been
remarked;that-on; occasions like the present, the will of
the King is actually inflaxible,rthough he is usually not
over-difficult to be persuaded or convinced. But in this,
as in some.ogily instances, the obstinacy of his determi-
nation seemed' tobe tinged with something of religious
fanaticism, is if the finger of the Confessor had not been a
stranger to the building up of his res.)lotiOn. The Minis-
ters, on finding their efforts fruitless, declared that they
should prefer tendering their: resignations to counter-
aiguing the nomination of the Baron de Damas. It is
said that, upon this' occasion the Duke n'Angouleme
warmly supported his father's resolution, and addre,sed
one of the Ministers inaather harsh terms. The King,
then, reasoning'upon- the ground of i's being a private
'or domestic 'act,' thought proper to dispense with the'
signature of the Ministersoinal had the ordounance ap-
peinting Baron de .Damas fili)vernor of the Duke de
,Ilourdeatix countersigned only by M. de la Bouillerie,
'lntendant of the Royal Household, and who; as not
being oneof the Cabinet, is an irresponsible agent;
As to this, so to other inconsistent, if not dangerous
conseqtences, must lead the want of unity of views be-
tween the Couft and-the Ministry. It is a subject of
"'sinister .presage-to see the Villele patty, who are cover-
ed with py-blic reproackand reprobation in the morning,
at the Cnambasicif Deputies, the obj:cts of
'and high faC):-mri at the Tyileries in the evening. These
eleinents of discordant opinion would seem to justify the
tears-of rnary, Who think that the Constitutional bark
of France has yet to 'encounter many -a stiff gale and
dismantling storm. However, ..to speak only. of the
present, it should not be lost sight of, by those whom it
most concerns, that such acts as the one that forms the
subjectaof this Iletter are far from tending to render
Royalty popular in France, or consolidating a dynasty
which has had More than one occasion to be convinced
that legitithacY its-elf, in order to'take deep roowparti-
cularly in the present age, must conciliate the affections
Of the people, and sy with public ppinion,
At a moment when the Jes.uils make their power
felt in the high places of the capital, and succeed in
counteracting the intentions 'of the 11fitiiiiry, it is not
to be Wondered 'that- their adherents 'in the provinces
should boldly enter the field of politics, and that Bishops
should publish' pastoral letters- in favour of particular
Journals. This rather unepiscopal task has just been
undertaken by the Bishop. of Perpignan, who has
printed, at, his own expense, the prospectus of a new
Journal, called Le Conseruatelir, and n Inch he has
sent to all the'Cuies of hisi diocese, accompanied by a
pastoral' letter; the style and' diction of which are not
less extraordinary than its object. It is generally be-
lieved that -his, spiritual Lordship is a partner in the
speculation, and will, no doubt, take an active share
in the redaction 9f. the Journal.

CHINESE TA RTARY.

FROM THE CALCUTTA GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DEC. 3.
We have been favoured with advices from China and
from the north of India, which concur in stating, that
the rebellion in Chinese Tartaiy has been suppressed by
the arms and influence of China. The intelligence from
the Himalaya rests upon the authority of letters from
Shalkur, which state that the Chinese had completely
beateh the Tartars, many of whom were actually fugi-
tives in Lehdakh, a State, however, that is little likely
to afford them a'h asylum, beingitself under the power-
ful controul, although not the absolute dominion of
China. The news from China is more detailed. 2_

After three repeated defeats by the Chinese; the Tar.

tars were unable to meet them in the field, altht-ugh the
leader, Chang-keonk, effected his escape, much to the
dissatisfaation of his Imperial Majesty. These successes
were followed by the capture of Khoteq, and finally of
Yarkhend, when eleven leaders of the insurgents were
put to death, as victims to the spirits of the ChineSe
Officers who had fallen in the course of the war. The
Imperial army had thence advanced to Cashghar, froth
which place accounts, dated the 20th of Jaly, state, it
was on its return, after leaving a sufficient force to
garrison the Mohammedan cities. The head of the
insurrection had effected his retreat into some foreign
territory, in a state of utter destitution, and deserted'
by all his followers. As a mark of the Emperor's ge-
nerosity, he had remitted the annual conttibutions froth
the conquered cities, it is pretended in consideration of
the devastations of the war; but this act of liberality
furnishes reason to suppose that the tranquillisation of
the Tartars has been effected as much by concession
on the part of the Chinese Government as by the valour
of its troops:- The re establLhment of Chinese infloenee
along the tract of country from the desert of Kobi to
Cashghar, renews a barrier more insurmountable than
the peaks of the Ifitittal.tya, to the progress of civiliza-
tion and commerce, which, without such interposition,
might, at no very distant period, bring into frequent
contact the Steppes of Tat tat y and plains of Hindustan.

FERNANDO PO.

. CLARENCE COVE, Jaw. S.
Our establishment here proceeds prosperously; the
island .is extremely fertile, with abundance of fresh
water, and some excellent anchorages. As a settlement,
it is likely to become an important, and I hope a fortu-
nate one; although it is not a little ominous, that the
spot selected by us is probably that which was chosen
by the Spaniards far their ill-fated colony. This we
conjectpre from the discoveryof some coins and a large
Spanish bottle, which were found in digging, althoogh
not the slightest traces of buildings'or entrenchments
are to be seen ; and no other indrcation besides the relics
I have just mentioned, and which •Captain Owen_has
sent home to the Admiralty, .leads to .the opinioa,._ex-
cept that the timber is of. a.snuell smaller growth, and
has evidently been cleared at no very distant period. .
The Spaniards evacuated FernandO Po about the close -
of the xear 1782- Acccifd ng. to an account which-I
have me b, the original settliment consisted of three
thousaghl:Wn, who were abundantly supplied with
-brass cannon and military..stirres; but the natives were
so displeased auheir..pro,ceedings, which a: e reported to
have been strongly marked treacherybcl u, bad-faith,
^that they poisoned the palm wine with which they sdp-
plied Ebem; and not' more than two hundred effected
their escape. The cannon were dismounted and buried,
according to this account (so that it is pos,ibie we may
stumble upon them io our grubbing), and the natives
are said, immediately on the departure of tie Spaniards,
to have levelled all their works with the ground, and
flung the stones of which they were formed into theaea.
Oh Christm s Day Captain Owen took formal- pos-
session of our new settlement.; which- he .has•natned
Clarence, apparently much to the satisfactioa,,of, the
natives, in consideration of three bars of iron lia'vrog
been duly paid and delivered by him for the •fee'sinrple
thereof. On this occasion a-grand p,ocession took place
—the officers and crew of the Eden, the Royal Marines,
the Royal African corps, and the Clarence Militia,
colours flying—drums beating—fifes playing bugles
sounding, marched from the border parade; when,
having been properly marshalled around 'art Avg-klati

and should it, appear Emden Cilidte, I- hkee
no doubt the nainessatome Of the shbicribing parties
will excite general' merridient. Bonaparte and George
Ret wore amongst the number who witnessed the taking
peaceable possession of Fernando Po. Dr. Wollaston
and Dr. Syntax were also present; but neither of these
learned Gentlemen could write their names, add were
therefore obliged to attach their marki in the shape of
aX. Horace Walpole and Benjamin %Vest did, the
same. Neither did the autographs, of St. Macau ley,
Humphrey Davy, Billy Button, and Nicholas Carlisle,
differ materially in character from Pea S nip, Soda
Water, John Dory, and One Glass. Arthur Wellesley
affixed Iris mark also with Tom the First, Jem Never-
fear, Black Chappy, Chaw Tobacco, Torn Liverpool,
and Prince Will.
The purchase-iron paid for our right of settlement at
Clarence seems only to have increased the native craving
for this metal. In fact, the people of Fernando Po,
though generally an honest race, cannot withstand the
all-powerful temptation of iron ; and vie have, therefore,
been obliged to commence the instruction of the islanders,
quoting Hudibras for our text-book, iu

" what dangers do environ
The man that meddle, with cold iron."
Several most daring thefts took place ; and the autho-
rity of the officers became unable to restrain our owq
men from purloining iron for the purposes of barter
with the natives. There had hitherto been but little
difficulty in reclaiming the stolen article from the natives
in cases where they had themselves beers guilty of the
theft ; but when they had received it in barter from any
of our people, it was irrecoverable.
Captain Owen, therefore, with a view to enforce dis-
cipline, determined on making one or two examples of
the guilty, and accordingly selected two of the most
notorious thieves (Africans) for punishment. One of
these he flogged, and then turned on shore; the.:other
was probably drowned, baying jumped overboaia,from
placed in irons. Towards the

As yet we have all been, thank Wu,' esccedtagly
healthy. We have abundant supplies of guide, Ur,
sheep, fowls, and yams; but after Marchiladscrut which
time the rainy season will commence, I shall be 4ble to
speak more satisfactorily on the score of thelalubiity of
the place: We hive now been here upwards of fice
months, and have been necessarily subject. to much and
severe exposures. During that time, out of one hundred
and seventy Eurppeans, five only have died ; anti in-
cluding Africans, our loss has been but six out of live
hundred. -the prevalent disease appears to be a coo-
tagioris 'kind of nicer,* which thirty cases are at pre-

The approaching discussion on the Catholic Claims,
and the necessity that is now generally felt of bringing
that important question to a settlement, whateier the
various opinions of its merits may be, have led us to
peruse a most able and excellent Pamphlet on the sub-
ject by Mr. WILMOT Homo*, entitled " Protestant
securities suggested; in an Appeal to the Clerical Mem-
bers of the University of Oxford." The deliberate
opinion of a Statesman of so extensive information and
sound judgment as Mr. Wicssov-Hoscrost, is on any
sebj?ct so be received wish respect ; bpt his suggestions
on a question, which, far beyond all others, divider
men's opinions in this country, will be staxl with ten-
fold interest.
It is useless for the friends of the Catholics to attempt
to conceal that there exists a most respectable claw of
ople, of a clew and sensible node, standing, who have
opposed and do oppose Emancipation holt, a sincere
conviction that danger tOthe Established Church would
ensue. The invariahle argument of persons of this
opinion is—that ho adequate secutity can be offered for
our own Church, if the boon asked by the Catholic-
were granted. The line of reasoning pursued by the
-late D..ke ef Yonx, by the late and present LORD
Coanceccons. by Lord LIVRRTOOL. by Mr. Peel, and
by the Bench of Bishops, has uniformly proceeded on
an apprehension of danger to the Ettablishnsent from
Roman Catholic Legislation. These distinguisted per-
sons have all professed their readiness to accede to the
Claims, providei adequate titles could be affor dad ;
and Qr. hill-POTTS conchee;f recent " Letter to an
English Laymen by thee -sbolionging the Catholics :
—"Fry to find the securities Vshieb we, on our part,
Buy devise, such as you can conscientiously accede to."
These objections have suggested to Mr. WILMOT.
Honvon, as a friend of Emancipation, a security, which
really appears perfectly unexceptionable. It is, in his
own words--u The eaactment of a legal disqualification
in the statute intended to relieve the Roman Catholic
from his disabilities; such disqualification to prevent
him from voting upon any measure affecting the in-
terests either of the Unitei Church of England and
Ireland, or of the Church' of Scotland."
The exclusion of the right of vi.ting, under special
circumstances, has been recognized by the Legislature
in 'analogous cases. The exception against the Bishops'
votes in capital cases before the House of Lords, and
the disallOwance in the Commons of the votes of 'Mem-
bens having a private interest in the question, are in-
stances to show that the proposed plan would not be
ieconstitntional in point of precedent.
The arrangement of the conflicting interests of Catho
lics and Protestants by the Treaty of Westphalia, is a
aood example of the principle recommended. By that
Treaty it was provided, that the plurality of votes should
not in future decide in the Diet in matters of religion ;
that the respective Catholic and Protestant Establish
1! "ants should be permanent, and that the votes of neither
- 110ition should affect the stability of the other.
The stelly security of this nature ever before propied
smashe plan of the late Sir JOHN HIPPISLRY. in 1816,
to restrict the number of Roman Catholics to be ad.
emitted into the Legislature. According to the genet al
apprehension, however, that limited number would still
do mischief so far as their power extended; and the
anomaly of it is much greater, in a constitutional point
et view, than Mr. WILMOT•IORTON'S stigtestion.
It appears by a letter from Pr. POYMT4II9 the Catholic
iiishop, to Mr. Holum's, that the plan would, to his sea-
timents, be unobjectionable. We trust, indeed, that
awe( the Catholics, or thee advisers, would act so
lejudiciously as to refuse a boonowhich, with the reser-
vation pointed out, might obtain Nem with Parlia-
ment and the public.
Mr. Waxen-Hoots:to has beta 0. steady - sad able
supporter of Emancipation, on the !woad pit:slides of
jastice ; sad he particularly mplaim, that though hie
appeal bas been framed as a r against evils anti-
cipated by others, yet, in • s des ActsOf Union,
sad the Coronation Aitg-widi a repudia rive upon oath

by the Catholics of hostile. intentions, do of theasselve,
-present a lolid and substantial security,,
Whether that opinion be contorted in of not, we
cannot too strongly urge upon all those who oppose
the Claims a fair and candid eximination of Mr. Wtt.-
►rot HORTON'S Letter. If any conscientious scruples
should be overcome by its perusal, the country will
increase its debt of gratitude to the writer, and we shall
assuredly be among those who will rejoice at one con-
vert more being gaineJ to the great cause of civil and
religious liberty.

The accounts in the French Papers telative to the
movements of the Russian army continue to be of a
very contradictory character. Whilst an article from
Vienna of the 28d ult. states that advices had been re.
ceived from Odessa of the 10th of an official intimation
having reached that place from St. Petersburgh, of the
Imperial troops having received orders to pass tl e
Pruth on the 22.1; other accounts assert that no
official news had been received upon the subject.—
