The French Pagers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de Franc; dated yesterday, which arrived in town this morning, are still without additional intelligence from the seat of warfare. From Constantinople, the latest news we have is dated the 25th October ; but as this was only' five days subsequent to the battle, when the result could not be kuown in the Turkish Capital. of course it is not of any material import. —The .elections are proceeding rapidly in France, Messrs, DUPONT, LA WITTE, CASIMIR Fenalaa, CON STA NT, DR &ROSIN, TERNAOT, ROYER CoLLAAM; and Baron L^tria, all Liberals, have already been chosen Representatives for the Capital. The L.:- ample of Paris, it is thought, will influence the pro vinces, and th, Ministers are considered likely to lose, instead of gaining, by the dissolution of the Chamber. All Paris has been filled with joy by this triumph. Several of the streets in Paris were no Tuesday nunated ; the Rue St. Denis was barricaded in several parts, where they fired off petards and threw stones; pistols and muskets were also fired off. The troops of the line could not disperse the mob without making use of their arms. 'IOU THE GAZETTE De PRANCE, (swami, Tins mosisnse.) PAM. Nov. OS.

It had but an ephemeral existence, for °tithe 18th of September Mr. PAndili. a tilydriot, the editor, received the following note from the Primates of the island, which is communicated by the Greek Bee, a journal in the French language, pub.

" The Primates of the Island of Hydra. " Hydra, September t ts, 1827." To this note the Editor reterried at► answer, which is also given by the Greek Bee. In this answer he says, that if Greece were still under the iron sceptre of the Sultan, he must yield ; but as the order come. from the Government, who . .e will is nothing unless founded on the Constitution. he should be unjust to himself, and unworthy thO name of a Hydriot i it he renounced one of the maw Valuable tights which the ConslitutiOn gives to the free Greeks. lie quotes paragraphs of the Con. stitution, "which allow all the citizens to found such establishments as they think fit, and guaranteeing the liberty of the press without censorship. .

Several of our daily Cotemporaries ant carrying ensl a furious warfare on tie legally, or illegality, of the , destruction of !BRAWN PAOLI'S Fieet.—We really think that our able brother Journalists, who defuse to much time, and spend so much trouble in defending the conduct of Sir EPWAAD CODRINGITON. might almost save themselves their pains, in thus rigorously " Breaking a fly era a who'll." and in bringing such potent weapons to bear on a very man of straw. Surely the GRAND SRIGNOR and his worthy Divan had been allowed enough time for the leisurely prose. cation of any barbarous devastation in the world. Advice', dated as laic as the - they previous to the 1 combat (the 19th ult.) from Cenin (n-it to Mer.tion the' cot roboration of Sir EDWARD CODNINOTON), statrd, 0D good and unquestioned authotity, that the Turco. Egyptian troops had for some time literally anticipated the threat of their Noble Sovereign—namely, "that every armed interference on the part of the Allies mould fail in its Object, and LOAD TO A GISZATIVI ',FUSION IN BLOOD!" For, says the Grecian writer, n After the failure of the attempt to leave the port of Navarin, lanattrim PACHA has marched against Maioa and committed on the way the *US frightful devastation :' 15,000 infantry and 800 cavalry scour the Peninsula, with cries of is DOWN WITH THE INFIDLLS !" and ins., mediately execute the threat implied in this cry. When ever an unhappy victim falls in their hands, instant sub. mission alone can avert death." This, let it be borne in mind, took place while the ink on the treaty of the armistice was scarcely dry I I this brutal prosecution of bristality—thil devastation of Christian life and propetty, was carried on before the I very eyes of those who bad sailed from Fattwoa,l ENGLAND, and Russia, for the express _purpose of its extinction ;—and yet we are told that the Allied forces' were not justified in making an attack; and Philhellenic . Journals think it necessary to contend for aggression Ms the part of the barbarians at the commencement 0 the actual contest, in order to constitute the questinnjestia "cation : justification in arresting the 111111 of savage tyranny, while carrying os the extermination of 2 Chris. tian people! and that in defiance of pledge, compacts and treaty 11l When we inform our Readers that this consmiseres elm for that iikssed and oppressed peopl‘theT against which our able Cotemporaries haves. male 47. erected the Herculean batteries of their - logic-.that these assertions of ds 4 s.hard treatment they have suffered rests en the basis of an imputation of forgery, and of tbe curtailment and clipping of the official dispatches re. ceived from the Allied Squadrons--and when we fur. *rer inform them that all this conduct is imputed, to the Ministers of England I we do think our friends will concur with us, that not much reply or refutation is needed to silence such accusations, or to d 7 the tears of pity at Turkish sufferings! At tlie same time, we cannot but add our tribute ofj applause to the talent and truly public spirit with which a Morning Journal. whose ingenuity and abilities have before eiecitediaur admiration and gained our respect, bas, in the most unwearied and able manner, opposed and routed the more subtle sophistries of party-faction. . - Glorious has been the triumph of Freedom—glorious the dtfeat of Turkish tyranny—and glorious the victory of Greece.

The remit of the preliminary elections in Parrs proves she exthement of public spirit in that capital. Under the French the Ministers appoint preekkeni bureau. (of Presidents and ether Officers) to manage the business of electioat, and these priori iltioal bureaus are confirmed or changed by the eiecton themes/vet dl tbe Ministerial bureaus in the different districts of Paris have tern changed, and out of seven thousand five hundred electors, only ape thousand two hundred voted for the Al misters--and this, too, in I aty where some time since a ministerial majority was obtained In finest of the districts. The result of the elections throughout France k ie thought, however, will not correspond wi t h th at in. Paris; for the number of ekctorsis lamentably small—about 90,000 for a po pulation of thirty minions—kis than three electors to a thousand people—and though they are of a class too respectable to be bribed after the manner of some of our borough voters, they are necessarily exposed to the influence of the Crown—besides that, being in many Of the departments composed of the old noblesse, their prejudices are muck more strongly opposed to the liberal party than to the power of the Crown or the Miring: To mark the opinion which the French Government entertain of the battle ofNirrarin promotions and honours have been awarded to the exertions of the gallant Ds ',hose and his Officers ; and the Grand Crosses of the Order of St. Louis have been granted to Sir E.

This interchange of ser vices and of rewards between two nations so long di vided by deep and apparently unconquerable hostility, and the perfect concord with which they proceed together in the great w or k o f G ree k re d empt i on, not only do honour to their respective characters, but hold vat to the woild a cheering prospect of untroubled TETE JOHN VULL. 3emomarr.—ln the Court et King's Bench this mo ms fog. the Arroaxcv CaxaaAL payed the judgmeh t the Conti on EDWARD SHACRRLL, whn Vial Mated _the psoprietor and publi•her of the .foine 841 Sunday Newspaper, for a libel on a Gentleman named flank Awn.

EXECUTIOrg-THIS DAY. On few occasions have we witnessed a more numer, ous assemblage of persons of every description, this the one wl ich presented itself this morning, to mitneu the carrying into effect the last sad and awful sentenc e of the law on the following convicts t—elarles Smith, aged 21; John Keaton, aged 46 ; Edward Lowe r*vel 40; and John Powell, aged 21. About six o'clock the Rev. Dr. Cotton arrived at the gaol, and having rob e d, proCeeded to the room in which the unfortunate convic t , had assembled. Here the Rev. G:ntlemau fouod Mr. T le , r , a nthde Mr. Reovf l . Is aa c s , .

Isaacs to the youth (for we c an ca ll h i m by no otb-r name) Smith. The sacrament having been mie to the miserable men. the subsequent time, up to the arrival of the Sheriffs, was spent tin prayer. By vx o'clock the arena to the northward of the latal scaffold, presented one dense mass as closely formed as institi. nation can depict: As the hour proceeded, the crowd below the platform increased, and by seven o'clock it would have been diffictilt to have thrown the Smallest substance among the latter so as to have fallen to the ground. By half•past seven, all the avenues to the doors of the prison were rendered impassah!e, and we could not but notice the unusual number of boys, and young females who item prerent.— The arrival of the Marshals and their immediate assist. ants awed, for a time, the feeling that seemed about to manifest itself, mid for a few minutes all was brnthiess anxiety. The men who have the awful duty to perform namely, that Of adjusting the ropes at this wisest, ascended the scaffold, and having placed everyiluag is proper order, descended to await the con s i gn m ent to their hands f the victims, by their own misdeeds, to the laws of their country. On our return to the user parts of the gaol we were, by the politeness of the ew. thy Sheriffs, Messrs. Spottiswode and Stables, and the condescension of the highly respected Gnvemor, Mr. Wontner, admitted to the press room. Here we found assembled those gentlemen whose offices, boa. ever painful, compel them to attend, with their efficers in readiness. The melancholy vibration of the respon ses that broke on the ear at this moment were awful, — a solemn silence followed, and in less than two minutes Beaton made his appearance, led in by Mr. Rolfe; time was spent in prayer with the unhappy cul- prit and the Rev. Divine.—Lowe appealed not, led is to the pressroom by the Rev. Dr. Cotton: the mfor- Innate victim tovice and impropriety, Powell, followed, aai lastly, the youth Smith. The mournful procestion lamed forward. Keaton proceeded first,Powell followed, Mid Smith was the next who was placed in the order of **procession. Lowe, pursuant to his sentence, was drawn on the hurdle to the place immediately below the drop. The unfortunate men were here seated on a form for a few moments : Smith became now so dreadfully a &toted, that nature seemed to fog bid het office; in fact, be could scarcely support himself; and nquitlitanding *very consolation was afforded him, he still seemed as though he was totally resigned to despair. Powell possessed the most marked firmness throughout, and took leave of those around him with a firmness that excited every feeling for him. With respect to the esebers, there was nothing more than ordinary; and every preparation having been made, the spiritual ad visits of the miserable men took their leave, and the fatal signal was given, when the drop fell, and the world dosed on them for ever. ' 7. Sackett, who was to have suffered with the above liihrtunate men, was respited festerday. The Royal *trey was communicated to the unfortonate man is soon as it reached the gaol, by the highly respected governor, Mr. Wootner.—On receiving the jny ful newt. the poor tame lea on his knees, and remained for some time insensible. The LORD Cavell JUSTICE Of the Court of Comtim Pleas is slowly recoveriug from his late severe attack of the tem. the severity of which, although all the active symptoms of the dime have now disappeared, has been such as to reduce him to a wry weak state. It is understood that his Lordship has been pit ors a restorative treatment, and that hopes are entertained of nu burl soon able to resume his ollicial duties.

At the above awed hour, flames were dis covered issuing from the windows on the first Sum; instant alarm was given, and in the course of tow) minutes several engines arrived on the spot, and hem the building being fortunately contiguous to the river, a plentiful supply of water was soon produced, and the engines commenced playing upon the flames; erhieu had now increased to a fearful extent. In the MO* . time, several of the firemen forced an entrance me the building, and with the utmost activity removed a vast quantity of valuable pipers and parchronm from the Legacy Duty, and Probate Duty Okeio which otherwise must have been inevitably CS . sumed. About half-past eight the alarm and eeer . fusion subsided, in consequence of the flames k e n completely got under.
