FRENCH PAPERS. ..„,....._ /Rom TIfE COURIER FRANCAIS. PARIS, DZCZUMIZA 23. The Minister has just taken his part with respect to the trial of Ouvrard. There was at first a report circu lated that the Attorney-General would move in the Court of Cassaiion against the order of the Royal Court, but the affair is decidedly sent to the Chamber of Peers. This is a great step. The Minister did not resolve upon it till after many discussions in Council, and mature deliberation ; yet, nevertheless, in adopting it, it would have been difficult to do it with a worse grace. M. Bellart is charged with the functions of a public Minister In the Chamber of Peers. FROM THI 'TOILE. PARIS, Dammam 24. We think that some authentic details will not be read without interest, which relate to a great personage who for a long time was very near the Prince Constantine, now Emperor of Russia. We speak of General Croutta, born in one of the Prince's Islands, situated in the Sea of Marmara, opposite the Seraglio. A Russian Ambassador, who resided at Constan tinople, having recognised striking traits of genius in young Croutta, took care of his education, and at tached him to his embassy. At his return to St. Peters burgh, he presented his protege to the great Catherine, as being acquainted with the Greek, Turkish, Russian, l and French languages, and as being besides possessed lof political and military talents. Cathy ine afterwards advanced him, entered him in the college ()ISt. Peters. burgh, and entrusted the education of the P, ince Con stantine to him. The latter knew how to appreciate the great talents and qualities of Croatia, attached him to his persots, and made him his Aide de•Camp. In conversation he oftener gives him the title of Pater, than that of Governor. Six years ago, the Emperor Alexander being at Warsaw, said publicly of Croutta,"Would to GOD that I had many Generals like Croutta, for, independ ently of his talents, he is a martyr to labour." Croutta has not shared the disgrace of C ipo d'lstria, because Mince Constantine did nut con,ut iir the policy of his brother. - General Croutta is about .57 j ears ..f 47. e he is short, bald, with a ltwen and penetrating blur rye. He is a •tatesman and a goldrioldier. He inhabits, with Mince Constantine, the Palace called Belveder nr Warsaw. PETIMSBURGIT, DZCZMIIIIR 3.

LETTIR. gg From the Straits of Gibraltar to the waters of Car thagena, ihe number of Colon . ibi in corsairs, large and 4mall, is very considerable. All our ships, whoie car goes are valuable, becorn- their prey, and, to co:nplete our misfortune, those which are not laden they sink or burn. We see landed on our coasts, every day, the un fortunate crews of ships taketi, sunk, or burnt. On the 3d ult. the Commissary of Marine of Almeira received advices from different maritime points on the coast of the kingdom of Grenada, in which it was announced, that on the 2d, and on the morning the 3d, fifteen vessels had been captured. These corsairs, having re. solved to annihilate our mercantile navy, have taken their measures so well, that no ship can escape them.— They have armed small boats, which pass along the coast touching the land, eater our ports, and carry off ships. This has just happened at Las Rogaetas, close to Almeirst, where they have seised in the port a large three-masted vessel, which had taken refuge there." THE LATE MUTINY OF THE SEPOYS. . . [The following particulars Ire itontained in a private letter written, says . the Conk Cinutitution, by a young man named Ma thews, a & ryeant and writipg Clerk , in his Majesty's 47th Regi ment, to hie father, Mr. Grow Mathews, of Shannon -street, to this City.] Camp, Prom, in the Kingdom of Ara, June 17. We had gone up about, six days sail, when we were countermanded, and ordered to proceed to Barrackpore, a military station, distant about 17 miles from Calcutta, to quell an alarming mutiny. among the Sepoys there. The 47th Bengal Native Infantry.had refused to gp on service ; they were joined by men from different ether corps—Major-General Dalzell's life was openly threat ened ; the whole of the European population expected nothing but instantaneous ass tssination—in short, the danger had increased to such a degree as to cause the most lively apprehensions on the part of Government. We landed at eleven o'clock at night, about two miles distant from the mutineers' quarters; the regiment was immediately formed up, and then it was, (or the fide time, that my piece was loaded for the purpose 4 shedding the Wood of a fellow-creature. Never shan't' . forget that silence which pervaded the ranks that night ; a night flute and serene; not a sound was heard, save the even cadence of the. soldiers' steps we were not aware of the numerical • trength of the E nemy: with our senior Lit ut.-C 1. Elrington, along with its, we cared not how strung tney were; for if ev, r a man pos sessed the talent of inspiting his troops with confidence, he doe-. We were drawn tip close in rear of their lines, and about two hours after w.t:e joined by the 2,1 batta lion of the Royals,. a brigade of guns, and a troop of al! Eight Honourable ti e Goveritor-General's body gu rd. Our art ival diffused universal joy among the inhabitants. " What troops are these approaching ?" asked a Lady, as. we came near her Bungalow ; the . 47th," replied an Officer, woo stood near ;" My GOD, the Sepoys," exclaimed she, With trepidation ; " No, the 47th Europeans," was the reply. " Thank GOD, then," said she, "we ale now site, I shall lay down my pis tols." For such was the tenor that diffused itself amongst the inhabitants, that even females armed them-elves. At gun-fire in the monistic ths.mutineers had formed a close column on some open ground ad joining their cantonments. We were drawn up in line to oppose them ; the Royals, of whose Freseitce they were not then aware, were drawn up in an ambuscade immedi itely adjoining their left flank—four fi eld p eces were placed on an eminence that entirely commanded - them ; the whole so admirably arranged, that the mu tineers thought they had only one regiment to cope with.
