FRENCH PAPERS.

FROM THE MESSAGER DE3 CHASIDIM OF MAT 31.
SECOND EDITION.

The Pienna Court Gazette, of the 22d May, and the
Austria* Observer of the same date, contain the follow-
ing official article:
" In consequence of the system of strict neutrality
adopted by his Imperial Apostolic Majesty, in the pre-
sent war between the Emperor of all the Russias and
tee Sublime Porte, the Imperial Consuls and Agents of
the Court of Austria have received orders, in case of
the cessation of the authority of the Hospodars of Mol-
davia and Wallachia, to whom they are accredited,
immediately to suspend their fonctions. According to
this order, having learned that. immediately on the
arrival of the Russian troops in the two Principalities,
afficial notice was given to the two Hospodars that their
Government was at an end, the said Agents have inti-
mated to the Divans of Moldavia and Wallachia that
their Consular 'unctions had ceased, and, thus quitted
Jassy and Bucharest on the 9th or 10th of this month."
The Austrian Observer of the nd May contains a
letter, dated from the frontiers of Moldavia, 14th May,
of the following tenour :
" The principal pdint at which the Russian army en-
tered Moldavia was the village of Valadunidissac, two
leagues from the quarantine post of Reni, in the night
of 7th May, t writy•four hours later than their entrance
by way of Skuleni into the capital of Moldavia. This
delay was occasioned by the sudden rising of the Petah.
which baffifd every atiempt to throw over a bridge at
Tamorava, and it was necessary to find another point
for that purpose ; as, immediately after passing, the
Russians proceeded with the rapidity of lightning to
the banks of the Sere!), which they occupied, and ad-
vanced with the same rapidity towards 6allacc; the
Toptikt-clii commanding the Turkish detachment in
tilt district had no means of retreating towards Braila,
and he was taken prisoner, with about forty men.
"Though a division of Turkish cavalry burnt on the
morning of the Bth all the boats upon the Sereth, ne-
vertheless a corps of 10,000 men, 4,000 of whom were
cavalry, with a considerable park of artillery, crossed
the river the same day, and encamped opposite Braila.
"Immediately after the passage at Valaduni-Issac, a
Corps of 5,000 Cossack; was sent in a straight line to
Bucharest. to take immediate possession of the capital
of Wallachia, where they were to arrive on the 11th.
"The column commanded by General Kleist did not
arrive till the 10th at Tekutsch, which is two stages
from Tockschany : 7 or 800 infantry, with 80 or 100
Cossacks, have remained at Jassy.
" The Basch-beschli Aga. who was at first said to
have been made prisoner, with his troops, at Jassy, had
tan, in the night of the 6th of May, with 52 men, the
totd to Bakoo, by way of Romano, and thence—sus-
Fatting that the road to the south would be full of Cos-
lacks—he proceeded to the frontiers of Transylvania ;
and on his way through Moldavia the Mussulman Chief
caused his men to obtervawhe strictest discipline."
This bulletin is translated from the Austrian Observer
of the 2id of May, which gives it an official form. That
Paper does not say any thing of the article copied by
Vie Ait rcmburg Gazelle from that of Lemberg. Probably
this news had'not been officially received at Vienna.

The Berlin o,l7cial Gazelle asserts, that the reason
vrhy the Russians arrested the Hospedar Stourdza on
their entering Jassy, and subsequently sent him off to
Bessarabia as a prisoner, was, that they had been ap-
prised of the Hospodar's intention not to give any ac_
tarots relative to his administration, and of his deter-
Imnation to take refuge in the Austrian States—a
Proceeding which must ha►e thrown some embarrass-
ment into the projected organization of the Principality
by the Russian authorities.

BILE MANUFACTURZIM
Earl GROSVENOR had a Petition to present from the
Silk Manufacturers of Congkton, praying for an additional Duty
on the Importation of Foreign Wrought Silk. He would at the
same time advert to a subject upon which he had some time ago
put a question to a Noble Earl, then a Member of his Majesty's
Government. In doing so, he felt some difficulty, however, not
from the nature of the subject itself, but from certain circumstances
which had occurred since the period to which be referred. He bad
asked the Noble Earl a question as to the intentions of his Majesty's
thavernmcnt with respect to the slave population of the West Indies,
which the Noble Earl had declined to answer until he should have
had an opportunity of consulting certain individuals, some of them
Members of the other House of Parliament. He had not now the
opportunity of addressing a repetition of the question to the sante
quarter, fur he found that the Noble Earl, as well as the esteemed
individuals whom he meant to consult, had ceased to be Members
of the Government. This was the cause of his difficulty. He did
net know by whom he was to be answered. In the course of little
more than a year they had had no kis than five different Adminis•
trations, which was enough to produce great dissatisfaction, and
great want of tcinfidence in the people. He might perhaps be told
that the appointment of an Administration was the proper function
of his Majesty, and this to a certain extent he admitted. But with-
out responsible atliisers his Majesty could not act. It might, in•
deed, he said, that in appointing an Administration his Majesty
had no responsible advisers. In some eases this was true. In the
present case it was not so. He did not know whether the Noble
Duke would think fit to eater into any explanations; if he did so
think fit, lie trusted the explanations would be clearer sad more
satisfactory than those to which Parliament had beets recently ac-
costumed. He begged now to call the attention or the Noble Duke I
to the question, which on a former occasion he had proposed to the •
Noble Earl.

The Duke of WELLINGTON bad only just beard of the ques-
tion which the Noble Earl had put some time ago to his Noble
Friend. He was sorry that he was not able tp answer it at the
present moment. If the Noble Earl would have the goodness to
put the question two (Lys hence, he bad no doubt he should be
enabled to give him an answer.
The Petition was then read.

The Earl of MALMESBURY thought the Petition deserving
of great attention. It was evident that the experiments which had
been made upon the trade of the country had been productive of
the greatest distress. Ile trusted the Noble Earl who presented the
Petinon would move fur the appointment of a Committee, or pro-
pose some other measure upon the subject.
Earl GROSVENOR presented a P.tition from a plase in Corn-
wall against the removal of the right of representation of l'enryn
