FRENCH PAPERS. The foll Owing are extracts from the Monitor of Fri day, and the Etoik dated Saturday t PARIS, FEBRUARY sts. Letters from Rome of the 12th confirm what is said in the Diarie of the preceding day, in the amelioration of the Pope's health. His Holiness, however, still kept his hed, and was unable to go to the Vatican,-as he in tended. On the 12th, Cardinal Severoli had relapsed to such a degree, that his recovery was despaired of: he was said to be dying. Cardinals Rusconi and Fa.. brizio Ruffo are still in danger. Her Majesty the Duchess of Lucca received the viaticorm on the 11th, and it was expected that news would soon arrive of her death. It is said that his Holiness will make a promo tion of Cardinals about the middle of Lent. M.Riez de la Cadena, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Spain to his Majesty the King of Great Britain, has arrived at Paris, and put up at the great Hotel of Castile, rue Richelieu. FROM THI ZTOILE OF SATURDAY. FRANKFORT, FEBRUARY es. We have just received the Oriental Spectator of the 15th January. It contradicts the news of the landing of the Greeks at Scio, as well as that of a landing at Mitrlene ; and lastly, that of the taking of Caristo, which Odysseus was stated to have taken by storm on the 12th of December. TINO, DECEMBER se. Odysseus is before Caristo with 2000 soldiers. Omer Bey, who commanded it, has quitted it, leaving a suffi cient number of men to defend it. Having been made Pacha of Negropont, he is marching against Delyano pulo, - in Attica. As the plague rages in the fortress of Caristo, Odysseus has caused a trench to be dug round it, to endeavour to blow it up. Eight Ipsatiot vessels blockade Negropont. SYRA, DECEMBER 23. The Greeks hope to reduce Patras by famine ; but we know that it has a good stock of provisions. Unless it be taken by storm, it'will long remain in the hands of . the Turks, as well as Coron and Modon. ODESSA, JANUARY 21. By letters from Constantinople of the 26th of Janu ary, M. Minziacky arrived there on the 17th, and was immediately complimented by an Officer of the Foreign Department. The-compliment was accompanied with flowers and preserved Inuits.

Monday last his Majesty's brig Camelion arrived from Algiers, last II om Falmouth, where she landed the dispatch from the Hon. Captain Spencer, which ap peared in last Saturday night's Gazette. The arrival of the Camelion at this port enables us to correct several mistatements which have . been made relative to bet visit, with the Naiad, to the port of Algiers. The spe cific object which induced our Government to order these ships thither was, to demand from the Dey satis faction, or an apology, for having made an' attack on, and broken open, the house of Mr. Macdonald, our Con sul, in order to search for and take away two of his ser •ants, who are Cabbais, natives of the interior, against whom the Dey had commenced a war of extermination Capt. Spencer was also to demand permission for our Consul to hoist the British colours on the Consular Town-House, as a protection of himself and family from unprovoked insult. Captain Spencer, on his arrival at Algiers, found two Spanish vessels in the Mole, which had just been captured by the Algerine corvette Tri poli, and the crews of which' were destined to slavery. Captain Spencer, therefore, with the most praiseworthy feeling, made the case of these poor captives a part of his demands to the Dey, agreeably to the Esmond! Treaty, which renounced the right of the Dey to this inhuman practice over Christian subjects. Captain 'Spencer having waited four days for the Dey's reply to his demands, became apprehensive for the safety of the Consul and his family ; he, therefore,_as a stratagem to get them on board, gave out that he,meant to give a dejeuni a la fourchefte, and accordingly sent invitations to the Consulate, and all the merchants and Europeans, on shore, to honour him with their company. The next day (the Slst ult.) the Dey'not having made any reply to the dema&is, Captain Spencer made the signal for the Camelion to get under way, and he left the Bay, with all his pretended guests, on board the Naiad. —Whilst the ships were working our of ,the bay, the Algerine corvette which had captured the two Spanish vessels before alluded to, was espied close under the land, running for the Mole, which anchorage she would have reached, had not the Camelion instantly laid her on board, when Lieut. Bag Well, at the head of a patty of the Camelion's crew, resolutely jumped into the main chains, followed by the second Lieutenant, Master, and• the remainder of the crew, excepting about ten men, who, after having killed seven, and wounded twelve of the Algerines, drove the remainder below, and captured the Tripoli corvette, of 18 guns, and 100 men, in fine style. The crew of the Naiad, (which ship was outside of the bay), observing the gallant efforts of the Camelion, manned the rigging, and gave three cheers, at the moment of boarding. Captain Spencer took out the captain, but the corvette, being in a leaky state and disabled by the fire she had sustained both from the Naiad in passing her, and the Camelion, was abandoned. Captain Spencer proceeded to Malta, to apprise the Commander-in-Chief (Sir Harry Neale) of what had oc curred, and he dispatched the Camelion to England, with the result of his communication to the Dey. It. was observed, that the Algerines bad considerably strengthened their weak points ; the Crown and the Seraglio batteries, in particular. They tried the effect Of their shells, from one of the batteries nearest to the Camelion, whilst she was attacking the corvette, but she was at too great a distance (about four miles) to receive any harm from them. When the Camelion sailed (on the Ist instant), the Algerine squadron was at sea, cruising against the defenceless Spaniards. THE EVENING► STAR. LON DON. MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1824. THE FUNDS.

In a preceding column we have given extracts from the French Pipers of Friday, and we have since re ceived the Moldiest,. of Saturday, by Express. It it prin cipally occupied with an account of the elections, which have commenced. The district or colleges of Paris, or tht department of the Seint, are eight in number, and the candidates propOsed by the Liberals for them, were General For, the late deputy ; M. LANITTE, the battker ; M. CASSINI It PERai ca, the banker; M. BENJAMIN CON.. STA NT, the political writer; M. BENJAMIN DELUSERT, the banker ; M. Dzwoanz, the author of the work on Spain ; M. SALL CRON, and M.Titanattx, the great mann- . facturer. M. CA 581)41LA PERRIER, M. BENJAMIN CON.. STA NT, M. H ERICA et de Mill% M. de LAPANONEK, M. COCHIN, M. LEROY, M.SA NWT BAGOZNANLT, and Gen. FOY, have been elected, so that the Liberals have re turned three out of the eight Members. In the list of Members elected in the Departments, the M.niteur is careful to mark all the cases in which a " Candidat Liberal" has either gone out, or lost his election ; and, from this list, it would appear, that none but Ministerial Members,had been returned, with the exception of M. MEOW N, and M. de G NA RDIN. All the rest are either Royalist Candidates, as they are termed, or Presidents of Colleges, which is all thissarne. The Marquis de la FAYETTE has lost his election auMeaux, a circumstance which will give him leisure to visit the United States, where we find, by the Anierican papers, he is expected so eagerly, that it is proposed to send a vessel to con• duct him from the old to the new world. The Moniteur contains an article from Madrid, dated the 15th ult. which states as positive, that by the Treaty signed between France and Spain, the Peninsula is to be occupied for four years by a French army of 40,000 men. In the same article it is however asserted, that the " Insurgents" in South America are in a pitiable state—that their whole navy is confined topne frigate and two corvettes—that Gen. LETORT actively presses l the siege of Monte Video—that he has got reinforce- 1 ments from Rio de Janeiro to oppose the independent forces marching on Monte Video from Buenos Ayres; chat the 64Insurgents" are besieged in Lima and Callao, the reduction of which is huuily expected in Cadiz— and that the Royalist troops in South America form an effective army of 20,000 men. We have received by a second Express, Galignanis' Messenger of Saturday. An article from Corfu, gives an interesting accoutit of the funeral of General MAIM. LAND, who is l, u. ied in the same bastion, at Malta, where the ashes ofhisgreat countryman General Anzacnomay repose. The Algerines are said to have been successful in carrying off some rich individuals from .Malaga.— The following are extracts : FROM °ALIGN NI'S MESSENGER. PARIS, FEBRUARY 28. Yesterday the King took an airing to Saint Cloud. A Council of Ministers was held yesterday, at the house of Marshal Lanriston. We learn by letters of the 14th inst. from Copenhagen, that Prince Fred. Christian is dangerously indiposed. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CORFU, DATED JAN.3I. The intelligence of Sir Thomas Maitland's death reached us on the 24th, and was received by the lonians with the utmost sorrow and regret, for they certainly loved and respected him. We understand that his re mains were buried in the same bastion, at Malta, which contains the ashes of the memorable Sir Ralph Aber cromby. In the Greek churches a Katafalscr was raised to bis honour, and- regular funeral ceremonies per formed, amongst which the oration most deserving was remarkable for the effect it had on the hearers; I send you a translation : the orator was Count Sparadin Bul gar i, a nobleman of one of the first families in Corfu. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM GENOA OF TH‘I2TU INST. Positive intelligence has just been received, that se veral armed vessels with signals of war have sailed from the port of Algiers, and that their crews, previous to their departure, announced openly that they were going to chase all Spanish vessels they could meet with. The Algenne populace thronged to the port in crouds, to witness the departure of the vessels, and bailed them with repeated cheers; the barbarians boast, that they w ill soon chase the vessels of other nations, from which they expect valuable booty. MADRID, FEBRUARY 16. An Act of Amnesty has been circulated, but since withdrawn, according to some, in consequence of re presentations of the French Ambassador, and according to others, in consequence of the advice of a Council of Ministers of the four great Continental Powers. We are assured that the Act will shortly appear, and that the exception of his Majesty's clemency will be nomi nal. A Convention has been concluded between the French and Spanish Governments, in virtue of which France will have a free trade to the Havannah for a certain time. A multitude of rumours are in circulation. 'lt is said that some Algerine vessels have effected a landing near Malaga and Montril, where they have made a rich booty, and carried off some of the wealthy individuals. It is rumoured that upon the same point the English have disembarked a considerable quantity of arms. The Roykdist Generals Sempere and - Chambon have arrived here, in consequence of orders which they re ceived to come to the capital to render an account of the sums they have collected, by levying forced contri• butions in the provinces under their command. It is said that the definitive Treaty for the occupation of Spain has been signed. For four years 40,000 men `will remain in the country, and the Spanish Govern ment will pay France 200,800 francs per month, which will form the immense amount of ninety-six millions. By a Decree of the King of the Netherlands, dated Feb.lo, the Regency of Brussels has been re-organized. This forenoon we received Hamburgh Papers to the 24th ult. Brussels to the 27th, and Dutch Journals one, day later. The following are extracts: BERLIN, FEBRUARY 21. • The diplomatic correspondence between France and Russia appears to be more frequent, and of a more im- portasit Ware than formerly.
