FRENCH PAPERS.

IRON VIZ GAZETTE DC WRANCZ, DEC. 29.
PARIS, Dzc. 41.
A paper, which is pretty deep in the confidence of
the Ministers, announces to-day that it is strongly in-
clined to believe that the army in the Morn will return
to France next spring, or even before that time.
We are no less inclined to believe this event, though
less strongly, than the Journal des I)ebats.
We certainly have not been to Greece, and expelled
the Egyptians, to leave the country in the power of the
Turks, who are in the neighbourhood. Now this would
not Gil to happen unless a previous convention stcured
the Morn from a new invasion.
It will not be next spring, and of course not before
ltbes, as the ministerial paper expresses it, that Fabvier
will have organised means of resistance. The an,
aosamd return of our army cannot then take place ex•
cept by virtue of a convention which should secure the
Greeks against every aggression; and this conventiore
can be no other than the acceptance of the treaty of the
6th of July, or a special stipulation.
From this reasoning, which appears to us conclu ire,
we are led to the explanation of the mission of M.
Amedee Jaubert; and we may draw this inference
from it—that the evacuation of the Mores will depend
on the result of the mission of this Envoy Extraordi-
nary. Now, will the Divan accept the little branch of
olive which is going t r be presented to i, from a Ca-
binet so weak—so wavering in its resolutions—and
which, after having flattered the projects of Russia,
and seconded its attacks in more ways than one, endea
yours to get out of a scrape and give a colour to a
foolish expedition which is unpopular in France ? This
is what we shall all know, but we may lay a wager
beforehand that the Turks will not suffer themselves
to be caught by so palpable a snare, and will perceive
that our Ministers are only seeking a pretext to with-
draw our little army without disgrace to those who
sent it.
Count Ofalia, the new Ambassador from his Ca-
tholic Majesty to the French Court, arrived yesterday
at Paris.
The Marquis de biaubreuil summoned on the 12th
inst. Prince TaUeyrand, the High Chamberlain, before
the Justice of Peace of the First Quarter of Pat* to

pay him the sum of 2.478,850 francs damages and in-
terest for the losses which he caused him to suffer, in
consequence of the mission which, according to him,
the Prince confided to him in 1814, when he was Pre-
sident of the Provisional Government. Prince Talley-
rani suffered judgment to be entered against him by
default on the 16th inst.

FROM THE CONSTITUTIORNIM.
LI slioN, Dec. 13.
It is certainly the Queen Mother who directs all the
affairs of State, although she does not assume any I:-
tensible title. The principal chiefs of the patty met at
her house yesterday at three o'clock. The conference
was long, but its object and result are unknown.
The police has opened all the letters which hate
lately arrived from Brazil. Some of these have been
suppressed, and others delivered ; but especial cam has
been taken not to deliver the Brazilian journals. It is
known, however, • that the Ernicror bitterly regrets
not having toll-wed the timely counsel that was given
him, and having yielded to the insinuations of Austria
and England.
Passports are no longer given for the province of
Alentejl, trom which it is interred that extraordinary
events tiave occurred there.
A Rica number of the soldiers of the garrison have
:seen arrested. Thirty have been taken born a single
lei,iment, and them is a tumour .f a secret organize.
tion aosong the soldiers, the object of which WAS to fly
is the assistance of the national troops if they should
have effected a landing on the coast of Portugal. It is
also said that thej presume.l to doubt the famous bul-
ietins respecting the health of Don Miguel. The n.o.
notonous tone of these documents has given rise to some
pleasantries respecting the physicians and tl e ratient.
Hence the arie.t, not only of military persons, but even
of simple citizens. It is, however, certain, that dosing
the SS days he has been confined to bed, D .n Miguel
has signed nothing. nor attended to public affairs, as
has been pretended, which contrasts very strangely with
the Gazette intelligence, which announces daily that it
k impossible Don Miguel can go on beter than he is.
The contents of the public coffers, which had be..n
lodged with the treasurer of the Crown, have been
taken out of hi. custody by Don Miguel's fit st physician,
who knows more of money matte:: than of medicine.
The Bishop of V.zeu, who is skilful in the ar: of
governing, has caused all the schools of mutual instiuc-
tion in Lisbon to be shut up, because, he says, for
the put pose of governing !sweetly, it is not neaessary
that there should be more than ten men in a hundred
who are able to read.
The guerillas augment daily ; sometimes they image
the troops and make ptisoners. A detoichm;v4 sixty

It was said lately that th*Nice Caluel of Ilamburgh
had been s.:t at liberty. This is false. He has merely

MAHON, Dec. 11.

- ..~

A Dutch man-of-war brig arrived this morning from
Toulon. The American Commodore, who went to
Toulon in a corvette, for change cf air, as his health
has been delicate for some time past, is expected back
eve. y day.
The men of-war in harbour are three Dutch frigates,
A corvette, and brig; a French corvette; and the Ame-
rican line-of-battle ship Delaware.
A small Spanish man•ot-war schooner sailed to-day.
About SO vessels, which had been in Gibraltar at the
time the fever broke out, afterwards proceeded to dif-
ferent Spanish ports, but were obliged to come and ride
a quarantine of 41 days in this place. Ten days ago
they all received pratique. and sailed.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

" Lazaretto off Marseilles, Dec. 19.
" I art iced bee on tl e 14th ins'ant, after a rough
passage of twer.ty-seven days, from Smyrna. On the
16th t.t Noserofer, when we sailed from Smyrna, the
usual tranquillity continued to reign. The nrercanti e
classes complained bitterly f the state of trade, .nd
were apprehensive that still further checks and ir•coo-
veniences would be produced by the Russian blockade
of the Dardanelles. Indeed, a re icus con equates
had already resulted therefrom. The P tie, seeing
the supplies of the capital (furnished principally by
Egyft) exposed to interruption and uncertainty, was
obliged to cast its eyes el ewhere for grain, atid to
secure the means of land carriage f r the same; con.
seqoently orders we.e issued to seize all the camels and
other beasts of burthen, and to employ them t xtlo-
sively (as long as circumstances demanded) in cat ryng
supplies from the interior of Asia Minor, and from the
environs of the gulf c•f Enos and the ether few c rn
districts in Roumeli,to Constantinople. These insttuc-
tions, patticulatly in Asia Minor, were erecutei wi h
great rigour; even the caravans of camels already
loaded with merchandize, and on their way to the mart
of Smyrna, were stopped and employed in the public
service, and the merchants of the latter place were ut
certain and anxious as to how and when do y should
receive their bales of cotton, their yellow bert its, opium,
&c. for which they had contracted, and, 1 believe, in
many case', advanced money.
64 With regard to the manner or extent that the
blockade would affect Constantinople there prevailed a
diversity of opinion, as very different estimates were
made of the quantities of corn existing in the con•
tiguous provinces of Asia Minor and Roumeli ; but an
undisored fact was, that the price of bread bad risen
to an alarming height in the capital, that it had under..
gone a great deterioration is quality, and, in slim', that
the poor people did sufftr. Indeed. at Smyrna, where
the same difficulties in receiving supplies do not exist, the
price of grain had been doubled swain a few weeks, and
stood in the middle of Nov. three times higher than it had
been cut rent at in the months of May and June last. That
Constantinople should be so reduced by famine as to
oblige the Sultan to entire submission to the demands
of his enemy, it would be absurd to suppose; yet great
temporary inconvenience may result, and, in truth. has
resulted, from the declaration of block rde. Meanwhile.
however, the bad season has come on, during which it
would require more naut cal talent than the Russians
have the credit of possessing to maintain an effectual
blockade; vessels will pass up, and certain speculators
were already chuckling over the very pretty thing'
