FRENCH PAPERS. MOM Tin GAZETTE DE FRA.PN, DATCP NOV. 11. FARIS, Nov. 10. The Attggarg Gazette announces, under the head of Constantinople, that the Dipl ,, matists of Pera do not participate in the exaggerated hopes of the Tut ks, and that they neglect nothing to lead the Porte to pacific sentiments; but the Sultan remains immoveable, and requires that the Russians !hall repass the Danube and the Pruth, before he will listen to any proposal for peace. There is no more notion if sending a Deputy to the Russian camp than to the conferences at Corfu. The Porte still requires that the Ambassadors shall return to Constantinople to negotiate on the Greek question, and affects to be ignorant of the landing of the French expedition in the Motea. The Moniteur of this day contains the following official article: " DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS. " By an ordinance of the 91h of November, 18(28, his Majesty has determined the number of secondary cede. siastical schools in the dioceses of Bourges, Touts, Car cassonne, Callers, Grenoble, Luton, Metz, Moulins, Nevers, Nimes , Pamiers, Valence, Tulles, and Vtviets.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. tt. Qn the 7:h of this month four battalions and a large convoy of ammunition set out to Varna. A lew days Ago several hundred prisoner-, amoug whom were ten o twelve Office's, arrived here. The Sultan, meeting 's detach/pent of them, ordered the Officers to be brought before him, and inquired if they had been well treated on the way : he also ordered money to be dis tributed among the soldiers. Several Pachas who have distinguished themselves in this campatn, partly by their personal conduct is the field, and partly by the organization of their troops, have had Governments bedewed upon them as a reward, with orders, however, to remain with the army during the war.

The following facts, respecting the colony of Matti fugue, have come to our knowledge; we ttust they will convince our Ministers of the inutility of the new judicial institutions which they have given to the colony, so long as the laws shall not have securei personal safety and established an equality aif rights in the adminis tration of justice: "On the 26th of last June, at the farm Gatineau, in the commune of Vouelin, a young planter desired a slave of the name of Dominic, who had been employed all his life in field woo k, to do snipe carpenter's work. The slave excused Novell, on the ground of his incapacity ; but his master reiterated his commands. The slave obeyed, but did his work very badly. In a paroxism of passion. the master caught up a carpenter's chissel, and inflicted a severe wound on the bogy of the negro; he then seized a pair Of cgmrasses, and ran the points of them.inks his slave's side. He then struck the slave on the bead with a hatchet. which killed him - on the 'pet. The murderer shortly alerwards embarked for St. Thomas's, and will be pro , ceesled against for contumacy. for not Appearing to take his trial. At the farm house of Madame Larougerie, in the commune of St. Anne, tour slaves were recently pot to death, who were employed in the cultivation of the ground. The negro Peter was first flogged to death, and his dead body was then drawn along the ground by oxen, and at last committed to the flames. The slaves; sliseau, his brother, and Martial, hi. nephew, who were confined in a dungeon during the punishment of Peter, ansi heard his plaintive cries, made several unsuccessful attempts to commit suicide. They were put to de ith in the same way a* their brother and uncle. A slave oi l the name of Louis was also starved to death in a dun. geon. They cut his head and feet off. that the chains with which he had been confined might not be lost ; the slave who executed this order had such an impress , 'ion made on his mind by it, that he was found dead in his bed the next morning. A negro belonging to * the same farm, and of the same family as the others pre viously murdered, has been confined in prison since the month of Jaly, and it is supposed will be punished in a similar way to his relations. The police have nsat interfered in this affair, and it is probable that nothing will be done in it, as it was recently decided that the evi dence of slaves.cVld not hr received in a Court ofJustice against their mater. Madame Larougerie, it is said, lives in France; these cruelties, therefore, cannot justly be attrihuted to her. The widow Marlet. of whose criminal violence lowan ds three of her slaves we rt centl v ave an account, and who was s et a t lib er ty by t h e Royal Court of Martinique, has been again arrested, .after considerable deliberation in the Privy Council, by order of the Governor of the Colour, General B arre. Thr tribunal of St. Pierre had deprived her of the right of ever possessing slaves in the Fiel i eh Colonies. On the appeal of ttais woman to the Royal Court of Niar tinicrie, the pyrii*httient was reduced to three year'. banishment fro tr the Colony ; so that M idame M arlet may enjoy all her rights in France as if nothing had happened. The sentence to which %se have alluded. which was given in the Session of September, pro bably be appealed against by her to the CANE ot Cas. *a t ion."—Journal du Commerce. DISCOVERY or rnic RELICS or LA PEROUSE. We have extracted the following narrative elf the ro mantic events which led the way to the discove y oleic relics of La Perouse, from a Calcutta Paper. Captain ?.as arrived in England: menu TUB CALCUTTA oovestr.stent GAZETTE, MAY 8. Captain Dillon, we under stand, proceta in the Mary Ann to England, in charge of the relics which he col ' lected at the islands of Manicnlo and Tucopit, or, as pronounced by the natives, Tuccopera. It is a curious fact, that the discovery If • the wreck of Ls Perouses ,hips, arose out of a massacre at the Fejee I lands, in 1813. The particulars of this massacre were published in the Government Gazette of the 6th rf February, 1817, but as few of our readers may re collect the circumstance, we repeat them here— MASBACRIt AT TH* FRIER ISLANDS. From Mr. Dillon, master of the Elio r6gth cutter, which railed from hence in November last, as tender to' the ship Hunter. Captain Robson, we receive the me. lancholy information of a number of persons being un happily cut off by the natives of an island called High- Iya, among whom were three youths belonging to this colony, with whose patents and relatives ne most sen sibly lament their premature destiny. The ship arrietd at the above islands for the purpose of procuring sandal wood, am the 19th of February, and was not joined by the cutter, which had sailed from hence before her, till the Ist of May. In the course of duty, the vessels were freqrsently from 50 to 60 miles apart. and by the beginning of September had procured a cargo ot about 150 tons of sandal wood, and two tons i , t hedge k war, which the Hunter has token .on with her to Canton. On the treighbonring island of Bough several iieropeans and other strangers bad for some time resided in very social habits, and assisted in pro. curing the cargo. These persons were Charles Savage, J.ihn Graham, Michael M'Cave, Terence Dunn, Joseph Atkinson, William Williams, two Lascars, a Chinaman, and an Otaheitan. These persons had done considetable service to the natives of that island, and were upon that account much dislited by the Highlyans, with whom they were frequenly at war. About the fourth of September, a letter was received on board the cutter from Mr. Norman, chief officer of the ship, which was then about forty miles distant, in f. Amin the people that a plot had been formed to cut them off first, a: all the Europeans, except himself and Captain Robson, were.with the cutter, and afterwards fall upon the ship, which was manned with Lascars .only. On receipt of th 4 information eight of the natives who Mere considered the most forward in the design mare made prisoners, and sent on board. The ship in the mean time got aground, lost her false keel, and sus tamed much other injury. The cutter likewise had been several times aground,'end for the safety of the crews it was considered necessary they should both be hove down anti:paired. Mel:1.001y natives of Bough represented the step as dangerous as long as the Highlyns we=e in possession of their numerous canoes, with which they could attack them at pleasure in very large numbers. and therefore advised the captose of their canoes. The appearance, shortly alter, of a fleet of not less, than 150 well manned canoes, seemed to justify the proposed measure ; the fleet was attacked accordingly, and fourteen canoes taken, in performing which one native of Ilighlya was unfor=tunately killed. Four of the cannes.belonging to the chief of Mytioball were restored to him, as he had nn concern in the conspiracy. While the assault upon the canoes was . performing by the cutter, Mr. Norman had been no less active with the ship's people. in setting fire to a native town, comprising aboot forty hots, bue half of which they destroyed. The next morning (s.}.. pt. 6 ) the curter and ship, in company, got all clear to heave the cutter down; pre. vious to effecting which the Bough natives strongly ex. boned the Captain, and offices% to go, on shore again, and take the remainder 91 the boats, to prevent being attacked by them; and the advice w, is tinier:on:tidy approved. The vessels' boat. were manned a ithuat dela y, and the people landed, micler no expectation that the inhabitants of the to.en ha.t been tele( irce.!. The tide was now too low to get off the cables: a number of natives, who showed the:naelves, insOted the assailants with sheers and gestures, and in 3 passionate momeol several huts were set on Oro. the people friss% the vessels, unconscious of their danger, were separated huts straggling parties; and lo 1 in an instant, as it try some signal given, they wee, on sides s.utiountied by at least eight thousapd armed *en, assembled from all Nits of the coast. possibly with intent to attack the vessels. Six of the Europeans, among whom were Mr. Norman, *Cave, and Graham, contounded at the cliatige, threw down their muskets and ran toward, the boats, but were inteicepeed, and massacred with spears and clubs. Nino others, among whims was Mr. Dillon, (who reports this tragical event), collected thznnselves. with a determination to resist as long as they w rade: they made tor the summit of a hill near the spa, and six reached the top, bot hi: three of their cpropann.ns on the way, dead or dying of their spea; and arrow ss panda. As Lay were now beyond the reach of sl.ear aqd stones, ani by a. high wind providentaily shielded Irom the arrows, whole flights of which were 149#0.n • out Of their destructive c urse. they defended ,these. selves with their muskets, the dread of a hick de:tried their opponents fogs any attempt to ascend the hill; 'and in this hopeless state haying continued several hours, a priest ventured to approach them with friendly gestures, and wig welcomed up. The busint's of his mission was to promise them security, provided they would release the eight natives r. ho m ere pii. srmers in the ves-els. Gladly con entiis tts t';is pro position, one of the Europeans accompanied the priest, who was of the'highest order and consideration, down to the boats ; be went nn board, and the eight 'wives were released accordingly; but during this in terval, two of the Europeans were, by pacific signs and declarations, indtszed to quit the summit of the hilhand go down among them, against the advice of Mr. Dillon and his two remainirig comp:Orals, who, after refusing to follow their example, had the mortification to see those also perish hen, ath the weight of innumerable weapons. The defenders of the hill, being so redUced in number, were now furiously assaulted with stones and arrows upon all side.; bin the muskets still kept them at a distawie. Aires shoot font hru-s the priest, (Wowed by the eight natives, appeared in wear, and hostilities crime again suspended. They went up the hill, and. proffered to viaduct Mr. Dillon and the two remaining coin panion‘ in safety to their boats, provided they would . surto tbeim tp carry their muskets. This proposal. after their treacherous murder of the two mho had in considerately 'renewed down among them. they would not at all accede too; and while the priest was hal ang.. jilt on the prlicy of 4 cornrii4Hce, . P.iion got behind him, and pies ing the muzzle et his goo close agaipst his back, commanded him to proceed its a direct line for the beats, threesning Um with instant death if he pales hesitated, or if any of his I..eople should attempt to attack them, or impede their paoiage. `Die priest proceeded as detected. and as he passed a:ong thought it prudent to remind his rennin risen that ha was their chief divinity, and that it through any rash act el theirs he should lose his life, destruction would fall upon them all. By a well timed presence of these three persons got safely to one A the boats, and were happy in once mote gaining their vessels—an event hut a few minutes before was beyond the reach of hope. Neat morning, the 7th, a party went on shore with a considerable pro,ierty. to offer a ransom for the bodies of their late ill- fated companions —hut, alas I not one could be produced ; and the wretched canihals re plied to the request, that they had. been 4:mitered ,the night before! All the persons whom we have already mentioned as living among the natives of BAJO: lost their lives in the melancholy contest, ss did also Mr. Norman and Mr. Cox, Officers, Hugh Evans, seaman, and a Lascar named Jonno, belonging to the vessel, in all fourteen persons. The same day (the 7th) they left the dreadful place, and kept company as far as the New Hebrides, where they the Hunter and Elizabeth) parted Si2d ult. Captain Dillon's two remaining companions, who escaped with him, were Wil!iam Wilson and Martin Bushart. It Bushart and the Lascar, who also took refuge on board the Hunter, had returned to the island, they certainly would have been sacrificed, and under this impression they besought Captain Robson to give them a passage to the first lind he fell in with in the prosecution of his voyage to Canton. Having finally left the Fejees on the 1241 of September, the Hunter made land on the 20th. which proved to be the island of Tuccopeea, in Lit. 12 degrees 15 min. south, and east long. 169 deg. Here Dustiest and the Lascar, with his wile. a Fejee woman, requested to be put on shore, and they were accordingly left, and the ship pursued her voyage. In 1826, returning from Valparaiso in the St. Patrick, Captain Dillon came in sight of Tuccoperea, and curio. sityprompted him to heave to off the islan-cl i aad ascertain whether the persons left there in 1813 )ire still alive. Ruth Martin Bushart and the Lascar a; geared--when an old silver sword guard, in the possession of the latter, led to inquiries whidi terminated in the discovery of the. relics obtained from the wreck of Perouse's vessels on the coral reefs which surround Manicolo. Thus it is to the circumstance of Bushart and the Lascar haying escaped from the massacre at the Fejee Islands, and being accidentally landed at Tuccopeen, that 'we are indebted for fhe infOrmation industsivusly collected by Captain Dillon. •
