Last night we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday : tleeve of Monday reached us in the course of the day. They are in mourning, on account of the interment of the late K1,X03, with the details of which they are filled. The Ministers have enjoyed a respite of several days, owing to this solemnity. When the intestine war is renewed, we may expect it to be proportionably tierce and violent, after ,this compulsory truce. The only subject which has in any degree drawn off the attention of the journalists from the splendid and imposing ceremony of the Royal inhumation, is the private correspondence from Paris which has lately appeared in the British Press. It is quoted in nearly all the paper.. The Constifutieemel has an article which we give in our extracts in another column. The Cuurrier Francais, in reference to the letter we published con- oerning the present employment of M. I)eLieux, the late Srcretary of, the Commission of Censorship, observes. Viet though 'the fact of the malicious selections inserted every evenitrz in the Etlile, was known in Paris to be the work of some Ministerial Agent, the public were ignorant of his name until our Correspondent revealed it. The news from Greece in these papers is conflicting. It is pretended that on the 19th ult. the Calera x obtained a victory user the Greeks, au.' captured thirty vessels from them ; but there is crest reasan to hope and bel:erz, that these successes of the Mussulmans are ground fere in fact. Probably the Turkish bulletin was fabri etted according to some approved precedents, to grace the arrival of the new Visier. The Coortdefieenet publishes a I•tier, dated from Tinos, the ldth of September, confirm ing the lamer accounts of the entire defeat of the com bitted fleets of Turkey and Egypt. This communication concludes thus : " Stith is the end of this great expedition of the Turkish Grand Admiral, who threatened in • 'hurt time to subdue or de s:vey Sawing, Tinos, Hydra. and the whole of the Archipelago. Never. during this war. did the Turkish fleet suffer so signal a de feat. It is the worst blow the PORTE Ills received. Sixty-two frigates, Corvettes, brigs, transports, and sloops were destroyed, or fed into the hands of the victorious Greta. Five thousand troops, who were landed at Samos, were put to the sword. A great num ber of Turk• perished in the thaws and in the waves. The Asiatic miry, aysembled at Scala Nuora, and the foot of Mount Myeale, disband:il on beholdinz these disasters, and ti Ct every diree. Haw, after, this overthrow the defeated fleets were to unite awn and heat their late victors, it seems difficult to credit. We believe not one word of the story. The ..7,ur:,11 de . Paris of Monday gives some news from Madrid, of die same character. According to the .Spanish Papers, the Independents are always either in a state of disunion or defeat. The Conslitufinundol die day rdlowin3 has a wiitely different version of the state of affairs in Mexico; and we Inow by our advices direct from that country, that its internal peace and prosTerity are every day becoming more assured, by the firmness, vigour, and consistency of its Govaninent. The letter in the Cnnsli t ai: , nnel is slated from the city of Mexico, the 7th ofJuly, and it contains some curious d-tails : We are aIIIPUTOLI Iliad M. SAM I:EL, the French Commissioner, c. 1.0 came here under the pretence of claiming some Frenchmen Miprisron . d in this rity for politienl offences, has entered into com munication with Don Lucas A LAWAW, the Minister for Foreign Mfsirs, to whom lie has made overtures, promising the mod offices o the french Government with the Cabinet of Madrid, to induce the latter to acknowledge the independence of the Mexican Fetters t iJE. It is also said, that the correspondence misting to this question will be einveyed by cleans of French ships of war front Brest to Vera Cruz, that the Cabinet of the Tuileries will be the medium tnoiupt which this correspondence will pass, and that she overtures haring been well received, advantageous results arc expected for the three countries. Everything bears a flourishing appearance in t a great number of factories and public establishments are toriuirg ; the working of the mines is about to be rc-commenced, and several plan' WO in agitation far opening new roads and canals. It was reported at Mexico that M. ALAMAX wished to resign. Tn., Patriots, however, spare no pains to persuade Lim to continue In office. His great talents and enlightened seal have rendered in. eelculatle service to the public CMLEe. The wise and enagen.: administration of M.

According to the preparatory labour presented by the agents of the domain, on the sales of the goods of emig►is, under the na tional law of confiscation, there were 457,000 s•lrs, the value of 'Lich, In assignats reduced to money, was 1,091 millions of tram'. From this sum must be deducted, 1. The amount of sums paid by Government to creditors of the proprietors; 241. That of the .:ontributions on land and movables ; 3. The value of the repairs and keeping up. The net sum to be paid to the victims may be estimated at 30 millions of resets, at 5 per cent. Thirty millions in a budget of nine hundred, resent no insuperable difficulty, and the least financial head would not be at a loss to find means of payment. The difficulty is leu in the means than the details of die operation. FRENCH Ft:rms.—Faits, OCTODZR 2R.—FiNe par Cents., 1011. 30c.; Bank Stock, 1.900 f. ; Neapolitan Five per Cents.

IVe have received from a Correspondent at Paris, on whose means of information we can rely, the following letter relative to the designs of France upon St. Domingo. It is not necessary for us to comment further upon the let ter, as the writer gives his reasons as he proceeds. The facts he states we know may be depended upon. Pails, OCT. U. The public have been extremely bogy for several days at London, and even in Paris, in their conjectures respecting the destination of the troops lately embarked at Brest, and the design which the french Government is supposed to have f mired of making an atten:pt upon St. Domingo. Those who suppose that the French Minister will proceed in a direct and open course to the attain ment of his object, have not reflected upon his former conduct; they seem to have forgotten the occurrences of the Spanish war. Was war declared against the Government of the Cates, upon the I , instant when the resolution of waging that war was taken? Certainly not. Ministers commenced their operations by dia. I tributing gold amongst the disaffected, for the purpose of making them ;ice in arms against the Government When the insurrection broke out, the Cordon Sanitaire was formed. In ad. dition to the supplies of money, arms and ammunition were sent to the insurgents ; afterwards they were received within our fron. tiers, and brigaded in France, for the purpose of returning to Spain. After these measures the Cordon Sanitaire changed ha name, and was called the Army of Observation; and finally, the design was avowed of invading Spain, and giving assistance to the insurgent Royalists. This mode of proceeding indicates clearly the plan to be pursued respecting St. Domingo, provided the enterprise carries with it the prospect of success. alinisters must, however, recollect the effect produced by the sudden appearance of Admiral Jacoa befo-e Savannah. The man. as in which the inhabitants prepared to oppose a landing has proved that these open attacks are amended with considerable difficulties. Indirect methods are more suited to the disposition of 1 31. Vit. LE Le, and he thinks that by such a mode of proceeding he will have a greater prospect of success. It is an undoubted feet that discontent exists in the island of Hayti, mere especially amongst the old Spanish party, which is extremely numerous. AU Burl Captains of vessels trading to St. Domingo give unquestionable testimony upon this point. The part of the population to which we allude is highly warlike, and can, in case of need, furnish horse combatants in great numbers. They are particularly excellent in the management of a short pike, which they use in a manner truly formidable, and armed with which, a single individual can face mane assailants. They ere not attached to the Government of Ilovta, and the greater number of the powerful men amongst them are disposed to rise in arms against him. The part of the population which was subject to the dominion of RISTOPIIE is not fr:c from discontent, and it cannot by any possibility be without certain feelings which will induce it to act against the Government. Whilst things are in such a state, would It not be easy for agents, well supplied with gold, to inearne the disaffected, and furnish Mem with the means of shewing their die s...mhos ? alight not these agents promise them money, arms, and above all, the assistance of France ? and, for the purpose of de monstrating that this latter assertion is not delusive, might they not point out to the disaffected the expedition on the point of sailing from Brest, and tell them that the troops it conveys to Martinique and Guadalosiite, are intended to act in conjuction with the enemies of BoYEa ? Depend upon it that all the batteries in Ilayti are ready for us, and if any attempt be made upon St. Domingo, it will be in the manner above described. All the inhabitants of Hayti are not inaccessible to corruption, and money will not be sparingly distributed amongst them. If the insurrection break out, they will be furnished with money and arms; it is even likely that some officers will be emu to them. If there be not a sufficient degree of energy amongst the disaffected to make a movement, or if, when made, it be promptly suppressed, it will be found easy to repeat, as we have already slated, that the expedition from Brest had no other object titan the relief of the garrisons of Martioique and Guadeloupe; but if, on the contrary, a partial insurrection breaks out—if it acquires a certain degree of strength and the insurgents declare that they are acting for the interest of France, um! for the purpose of establishing its dominion„ how in this ease will the French Government find itself situated with regard to foreign powers. particularly England ? It will ex claim, • Iliad no intention of re•conquering St. Domingo, but, contrary to all my hopes, I still retain there many partisans. They have taken up arms to establish my authority : they call for my assistance : can I leave to dmtruction those who devote themselves for me? Shy honour and my interest equally impel me to give them all the assistance in my power." The troops landed at Guedaloupe and alartinique will thee reinforce the insurgents, and others will be sent to their assistance from Europe. if them he an enterprise meditated against St. Domingo, everything leads to the conclusion that it is in this manlier it will be exe. cutest. This mode is quite in character with the crooked and eney policy of 31. be VILLF.LE. It is, in fact, probable, that the expedition about to sail front Brest is not destined for the direct attack of Sr. Domingo, but it may nevertheless produce the same consequences to Hayti that the Cordon Sanitaire has to Spain. We rejoice to learn, that twelve additional districts have been relieved by the Long LIECTENANT front the operation of the I NErftlinCTlON ACT in Ireland. It now only exists as to eery few baronies, and in these there is hope that it will soon be disiwnsed with. Nothing can bear testimony stronger than this, to the etPet which the liberal policy of Lord IVELti airy has had in restoring the confidence of the Irigh peolde. There can be no better criterion of good government than its tranquilizing these disturbed districts, and bringing them back, by its influence, to a willing obe dience to the laws. It is not true, as reported in an Evening Paper, that the Columbus has snivel at Deal from Quebec. Colonel Campbell arrival on Wedneaday night at the Foreign °Ric:, from Colombia, with despatches from the British Commissioners to that Republic.

DRUR . T - :1, - . - 4,Vi: THEATRE. At Drury-lane Theatre, list night, after the performance of Simpson and Co., in which Mr. Terry supported, with his usual spirit and humour, the part of the principal of the firm, and in which the only two tragic actresses of Old Drury were (we know not why) introduced to the audience, a new melo-drama, or "grand oriental tale of magic," entitled The Enchanted Courser : or, The Sultan of Curdistan, was produced, " with new scenery, deco rations, and dresses, and with equestrian evolutions, by Messrs. Ducrow and his troop." As this was the first no velty of the season, and as it had been deemed necessary to close the theatre on the preceding night, in order that an even ing rehearsal might render the management of the " scenery and machinery" more simple, the public anticipation was at its height. Rumour hail attributed the production to the pen of Mr. Croly, but we are inclined to disbelieve the report, as the new " hone piece" would not greatly add to the Rev. Gentleman's dramatic fame. It was also reported that the Drama was the property of Mr. W. Barrymore, and had been only god-fathered by Mr. Croly, who added to it a little poetry, anti a few puns. The father, whoever he may be, has no reason to be proud of his child, fur a piece more completely and deservedly unsuccessful we never witnessed. It would be useless to give a detail of the plot ; the outline is this :—Almazon, Prince of Persia (Mr. Penley), is betrothed to the Princess or C achemire (Mrs. W. West.) While the Persian Court is rejoicing in anticipation of the royal nuptials, the Enchanter A l ma & (Mr. Wallack), who, by-the-by is, as it afterwards ap pears, also the Sultan of Curdistan, enters with a wonder ful horse—a horse whose element is alike the air, the ocean, and the earth. He demands, in exchange for the animal, the affianced bride of the Prince, at which the lover is very naturally enraged, and in his auger mounts the horse of the enchanter, which bearshim instantly through the clouds. The ei.chanter then informs the agonized father, ' that his son will never return, as lie is ignorant of the art by which the horse is governed. 'f he Prince, however, discovers the secret by chance, and returning, brine- with him his bride. The enchanter contrives to steal both her and the horse, and conveys her to his Palace of Clrdistan. The plot is terminated by the attempt of the Prince to te gain the lady, and he sticceeds through the agency of Babouc, the slave of the enchanter, assisted by the ghost of a murdered brother of the aforesaid Sultan. The sub ject is taken from the Arabian Nights' Entertainments, but it has undergone considerable alteration, with out any improvement. The piece has been almost, if not altogether, " made up" by the scene painters and the dressmiskers of the theatre, who certainly did their ntneist for the fated inelo-drarna ; and no endeavour was wanting on the part of NIT. Wallack (under whose direction it was produced) to exhibit the bandy-work of Mr. Banks, and :he Misses Smith, in the many processions that had no other object. Any production of more than common merit must have sueceeacd, with the advantage of such splendid scenery and decorations, and the popular assistance of the tramplinga of many steeds ; but the decree that so unani mously went forth, eonsigning to oblivion " the grand oriental tale of magic," appeared to us a most decidedly just on:, as it had nothing beyond this to recommend it. The Duke of York, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and other distinguished personages, are at present at Lutworth Castle, the seat of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Cla rence intend honouring the new Lord Mayor and Sheriffs with their presence at dinner on the 9th of November.

PAWS. 1?aom 01J1 CORILE3PONDEXT.I PARIS, OCT. 5. To-day the interment of the remains of Louts XVIII. takes place, at the Abbey of Sr. DENIS. An immense throng of carriages, and a crowd incalculable of foot passengers, are at this moment pressing their way along the road to this last receptacle of departed Royalty. The custom of interring the Kings of France at St. Denis is very ancient. DMIOBEIST, the founder, or rather the restorer of this Abbey, was the first that was buried in it. Ile died at Epinai, a small village near Saint Denis, in the year 664. The origin of this celebrattsl Abbey may be traced as far back as die first establishment of Christianity among the Gauls. DAO3O - is said to have had it coated with thin plates of silver. Ills successors endowed it with such magnificent presents, that it became one of the richest and must re nowned Abbeys in France. SAINT Lolls had it almost entirely rebuilt, and he repaired the tombs and monuments of the Kings. Cnam.ss-MailrEt., one of the best Mo narchs that ever reigned in France, was buried here, in 741 ; but so:ue time after his tomb was broke open, and, as the monastic historians of that day relate, there issued from it a black thick smoke, anti instead of his carpe, behold there was a hideous serpent! —a most iniracu lowl testimony, as they declared, of his having offended !leaven! Citant.Es-ManTEL, who was the ornament of the age in which he lived, had despoiled the Monks to enrich his soldiers. This explains the prodigy. In a letter which I wrote to you about a month since, I . . gave you an historical account of the splendid ceremonial of the funerals of the Kings of France. I went yesterday to see the church of St. Denis and the burning chapel (chaptTh ardent...), so called from the dazzling blaze of wax lights which encompass the coffin. The effect was grand and impressive. The front of the church is hung I with black cloth, thickly studded with silver fleurs-de-lis, and over each door is raised a temporary Gothic pediment, the whole surmounted with a line of escutcheons magnifi- cemtly emblazoned. All external light is shut out, which gives the interior a subterranean appearance. The nave of the church, from the pavement to the roof, is covered with rich black velvet, closely sown with fleurs-de-lis, and slicer spar, imitative of tears. The roof is entirely covered with the same solemn drapery; the pillars painted and gilt; and on each side of the aisle about fifty large sepulchral lamps are suspended, which are lighted only from the commencement of the steps to the grand Altar. No persons have been admitted into the church since Friday last, without tickets, and even those gave no admission to the Chape:le Ardente, for which I bad previously procured a special introduction. The Catafidque, on which the coffin is elevated, is superb, and reaches to the roof. Upwards of two hundred workmen have been employed for weeks past in preparing the church for the reception of the numbers that will be present to day at the funeral service ; an amphitheatre of seats has been raised, capable of accommodating upwanls of two thousand persons. No one will be admitted unless in deep mourning. The church will he opened to the public for ten days, during which time it will be permitted to remain exactly in its present state of decoration. Nothing positive has transpired respecting the mysterious affair of Papavoine, though reportslare in circulation. that he was employed to commit the murder by the relatives of the children's father, who, on their account, had refused an advantageous marriage. 2apavoine is a clothier, and was, it is said, in very good circumstances.
