The French Mails, which have been so impatiently looked for, arrived this morning, and at the opening of the Market the contest between the two hostile parties commenced with great spirit. Some large purchases wer e made by the leaders of the speculation for a rise, which of course improved the Market; but large lots of Stock for Money being offered, and not taken. checked the advance which they were intended to effect. Upon the whole, however, although the alteration in price is trifling, the Bulls, we think, have . the best of it.

The whole of the Paris Papers which were in ar re:-.r, to Sunday inclusive, have arrived this forenoon. No.hing appears in them to countenance the report hick I:as for these few. days been promulgated with so much confidence, respecting the appointment of a new Russian .Ambassador to Constantinople; but, on Cie Lontrary, ail the accounts from those quarters , most liktly to be well informed on the subject, re-' present the state of matters betv.een the Russian and Ottoman Governments, as being Mill involved in , as much doubt and obscurity as ever. An article from Nuremberg, of the 26th October, says:—" According to the last news from Constan tinople, no eclaircissement had yet been thrown on the state of the negotiations b_tween Russia and the Porte. It was known, indeed, that there were fre quent conferences, in v.hich important affairs were treated of, but nothing more was known. Lord STRANGFORD was still consulted by the Ministers of the Porte, and had much influence. The Turks are often heard demanding .shy the new Russian Am-, bassador, whose arrival had been so confidently an nounced, has not made his appearance—why at least there is no Charge d'Affaires appointed? In the meantime, the Divan has taken a resolution which is of the highest importance. It has prohibited the troops commanded by the Pada of Broussa, and, who are now in the environs of the capital, from leaving their corps to visit home; and declared that e►isting circumstances will not allow of their return ing home daring the ensuing winter. This army was expected to set out immediately for the Danube." A Berlin article also of the 26th of October, as sures us that Austria has at last succeeded in re establishing that bat mony which has been so long wavering between the Cabinets of St. James and St. Petersburgh, and that, the latter has pledged itself not to under take anything against Turkey without being in pi evions concert with the other Cabinets. If no Ambassador has been sent to Constantinople, it 'is in pursuance of the same system which has deter mined Russia not to send any to Spain and Portugal. While Turkey thus remains still only under the threat of an attack from Russia, hostilities have, if we may credit a statement in one of the French jour nals, been actually commenced against it by a power ful enemy from an opposite quarter.—" The last letters horn Constantinople," says the Constitutionnel, " confirm those which have announced the hostile nioven:cois of Persia against the Sublime Porte. It appears that one of the sons of the Shah had ad v.mced against the Paella of Bagdad, at the head of sixty thousand men." Accounts have been received at Venice from Trieste, by two commercial houses,which state that Tripolizza, the capital of the Peloponnesus, has surrendered by capitulation to the Greeks. The victors are said to have found in the place, beside abundance of provi sions and munitions of war, a large quantity of money. The Augsburg journal, in repeating this intelligence, says, that it is confirmed by advices from various quarters ; and adds, that the Turkish garrison had been emir:it ked for Asia. The Gazelle de Venise says, that " an English ship, arrived (torn Smyrna at Calamatta, had brought the news, that all the French and English ships had unexpectedly quitted that port, without the reason for it being known. This had given occasion to the Turkish populace to renew their persecutions against the Greeks." The death of the young and courageous Doctor MAzET, from the contagion at Barcelona, is now but too certain. He died on the 22d of October.— The melancholy event is communicated in a letter from Dr. l'Autsar to his wife, dated Barcelona, 24th October. French 5 per Cents. Saturday, 90 f. 5 c.

EAST INDIES. A Supplement to the London Gazette of last night was published this forenoon, containing extracts of the Dispatches received at the East India House from the Government of Bombay, announcing the suc cessful result of the expeditions against Mocha and the Beni 800 Ali Arabs. Of both these events our Readers were some time ago apprised through other channels; ll but the details now furnished by the zette will be found equally interesting and satisfactory= INDIA BOARD, NOVEMBER 6, 1821. Di .patches have been received at the East India House from the Government of Bombay, dated the 10th March, and 9th April, 1821, of which dispatches, and of their inclosures, the following are extracts and copies : Extract of a Dispatch from the Governor in Council of Bombay to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, dated 10th 9lBrch, 1821 : The Expedition under the command of Major-Ge neral Smith, C.B. an ived at Zoor*, the port of de barkation, on the 28th, and the Imaum on the a lOth January, after putting his army in motion on three different routes to effect a junction. The troops im mediately landed, and took up a position about two miles and a half in advance of Zoor. _ General Smith's advance into the interior was de layed by an u3expected deficiency in carriage, which the Imam was to furnish. On the night of the 10th of last month, a party of the enemy, in numbers from four to five hundred, of the most efficient of the tribe, and conducted by their two Shieks, Alahomed bin Ali and Cadeem bin Ali, after having surprised the piquets in that direction, made a bold attack on the left of our camp, succeeded in penetrating into the rear of the lines of the Bombay European legiment, and committed very serious injury among the Offi cers and nien of that Regiment while getting under 'arms. As soon, however, as the inlying piquet and portion of the Regiment could form and pursue the enemy, they immediately withdrew; but this dating enterprise was attended with considerable loss ; one Officer, Captain Parr, and eleven privates, having been killed, and twenty-three privates wou nded. The Arabs left Ban Ali on the afternoon of the Bth, traversed a country almost a desert, and with very little warier, and by a circuitous and very difficult, footpath among the mountains, made a long march the last day, and without halting, except to leave a few camels they had with them, reached a place' called Masbach, within an hour's march of our carry.' From Masbach they moved in two divisions. It was intended that one should proceed round to the rear, and the other to the front of our camp, carry it, and then to attack and take the fort of Saone. The two divisions, however, met again accidentally in a date grove on our left, the original plan was changed, and both advanced and surprised the left of our camp.

Extract of a Dispatch from the Vice-President in Council of Bombay to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, dated 9th April, 1821 : We have the honour of forwarding to your Ho nourable Court, copies of dispatches from Major- General Smith, C.B. announcing the complete success of his operations against the Berg 800 Ali Arabs. On the 21• th of February the troops left Zoor, ar rived on the 2d of the following month at Beni 800 Ali., after a difficult march, and, on the same day, carried the whole cf the enemy's fortified position. The Honourable Company's cruiser Psyche, dis patched during these operations to cruise off Alash Karrah, succeeded in capturing three of the enemy's boats, and burnt a great pan of the village. We anticipate the entire concurrence of your Ho nourable Court, in the sentiments we entertain and have expressed of the manner in which this service has been executed by Major-General Smith, C.B. and the Officers and men under his command. We reported the grounds we had for complaint against the Government of Mocha. On the arrival of the Topaze off Mocha, on the 2d of December, Capt. Lumley, on being informed of Capt. Bruce's proceedings, immediately resolved on bombarding the place. A previous message had been received from the bola, requesting a further reference to Senna, which was refused. In the coutse of the day a flag of truce came off with a message, that if we agreed to wait eighteen days, they would either ac quiesce in our demands or evacuate the place. An hour and a half was allowed to send off hostaps, who should remain on board for three days, to allow 'time for the production and punishment of Hajee Futteh. No reply having been received within the period required, the firing recommenced, and, as the north fort appeared to be abandoned, boats were sent to take possession of and destroy it. This enterprise, however, failed, as it proved to be still occupied, and the detachment was obliged to retreat with consider able loss. On the subsequent morning another flag of truce was received, which was followed by two hostages repairing on board, accompanied by an as surance from the Dola that, in fourteen days our de mands would be granted. On the near expiration of the truce, a deputation of merchants came on board, praying for its prolonga tion, in consequence of the approach of the Bedouins, who they expected would enter and plunder Mocha in the confusion. Two of the deputation engaged to go to Zubeide, and bring in Hajee Futteh to be dis • The Imatinx of Muscat. .: a ,. graced, if his life would be spared.
