FRENCH PAPERS. [From the Courrier Fralwais of Friday.l It] ADZ ID, JAN. 17. In the short space of five days several couriers and expresms, s yirg f r om Yards, have arrived in our capital. Even yesterday, Chorsti d'Affaires to our t'ourt, M. Bois le Comte, received an s oordinary courier, and who immedtatcly departed for Lisbon. •nice the arrival of these couriers the Ministers have held loccils, which have not been discontinued up to this day. With / view of distracting public attention, t wenty different versions have ten circulated of what so exclusively occupies our Ministry, and •;,e uncertainty of the state of affairs contributed to render them all re absurd one than another. I3ut the truth soon made its way, p: it is no* known in such a manner that it cannot be doubted, r 4: the business of the Council is on the declaration of England tl t she is resolved to recritcr.ire the new States of South America, ,:cclaration which you must have krown long before us. The F p taken by the Cabinet oT St. James's has completely ruined the gotC te of our Ockemment, which still flattered itself with the l i se of subduing the Independents, and who, quite recently, as *mar have seen by my preceding letters, was occupied with the anien . cal pruject of sending a grand expedition to America. . - - PARIS, J• 11. 7.

The Government has received the news'rif the acktiowledgenient of the independer.ee of the Ameritas with its usual stoielim. The news has not yet taken sir, and the .Minister for Foreign Af '.zrs has begged those persons who know it to keep the most pro aural silence until an answer is received from the taltivereigns of e Hely Alliance, to whom notes of complaint hale been sent, vhich is the only resource of the weak. In the mean time the Ilinister fur Foreign Affairs, and Minister of War. have reeived one allay for this reverse of fortune, in seeing themselves ho toured with the grand ribbon of the Legiun of Honour. THE GREEKS. [From the Erele of Saturdey.) PARIS, JAN. 23. Letters from Constantinople of thel sth give accounts from Syria el heath, which speak of the two factions in the Morea. Colneo nei, Froilanti, IVarwack'y, and Nitro 111 , y have armed 6,000 on, and fought the army of the Government, said to be 15,000. Vise four Chiefs have rebelled, they UT, because their adversaries h.l sacrificed their country to England, had efldwed that Power, of sdiflere::t religion, to interfere in all their affairs,and had borrowed ocney at high interest, while IVaraacky engaged in writing to fireish the same sums. The two parties call radii other Russian fel English. Later accounts say, rolocdtroni being defeated and obliged to treat to the mountain of Arks, saw ell his tillttp2l desert his cause sal his standard. In this extremity he wrote to the Greek Go ramment— I believed the cause I defended to be the best; I thought, in fehting eft it, to fight for my country, and to obey the decrees of Heaven ; the unhappy death of my two sonses a sufficient proof of My error. I beg the Greek Government to see in me only a true patriot, misled by love of his country. I desire to return to the condition clan obedient and faithful citizen, and I swear to unite my ef.hrts and my means for the union and prosperity of my country, as my meet ardent wishes have been for her alone." It is not known what answer the Greek Senate had returned to . this enbmiseion of the rebel Chief. 16th..-To-day there was *retuned at the Porte, to provide, it is sod, for the pay of 40,000 Albanians, whom the Government in tends to send against the M ores- For some days past a new sgitation is observed among the Ja. remarks; thaw that *ere at Negrnpont end Athens have been severely reprimanded for their want of discipline and their robberies. It was affirmed at Napoli di Roumania, that, in the action off Candia, Ibrahim Pacha would have been burnt but for 27 Cassiots an board his ship, whose courage and iddress saved hint Each has received 1,000 piastres; all their property in the Isle of Caesar is festered to them, with exemptteli from taxes for ever. IFtemen the Constftstionue7.l IrEDIIA, Me. it. The two divisions of our fleet Which Admiral el iaulis had kept in the neighbourhood of Rhodes, to watch the movements of the Egyptian feet, has just entered the port of hydra, lifter having crowned the expedition of this year by a final victory, more import ant and more decisive than all that have preceded it. After the de. feats he hail sustained before Ilabearnassus, in the waters of Cos, by the headland of lcaria, and lastly, between dlytilene and Sclea, lbohim Pacha bad retired into the port of fPoudeottn. Slate then the rejects of that young commander by sea and land, were bounded to the Modest 'enterprise of victualling the forts of Candle, and reieforcing the garrisons with his regular troops. Tor a year Tut, his father, 21eherned Ali nicht, particularly affected to count teat island in the number of his possessions, arei as an Integral part of his vice-royal. Ibrahim Prelia brad therefore thought it des duty, by his es ition, to preserve to his father the new ntle of Lord or Candle. Bei ng defeated on the 14. h of November, on the shores of that island, he took refuge in Meal or Mermarimia, a rent of Asia opposite Rhodes. After having repaired the damages I.e had sustained, he again set sail on the night of the 2.2i1 to the 11th November, with the film resolution to land at Candia. Being attacked on the 25th, by the headland of that islatd, by the Greek feet, he lost twelve ships of war, among which ie reckoned one of the most beautiful frigates belonging to el ammo! Ali Pacha, which became the prey of the finites. His loss of transports =cunt. to 15 mauls, of which seven have been destroyed ; the other eight have been brought into our port. The remains of the Egyptian fleet has Men pursued as far as the Alexandrian sea. Our d eet has taken front the enemy a tolerably rich booty in provisions, mostly of coffee, rice, &c. These were the provisions that Mehemed Ali &s -teed for the fortified places of Candle, in which want of provisions vas already felt. Three thousand men of the regular troops of Egypt. that were made prisoners in the battles of the 14eh and 23th November, have ulse been conducted into our port : they ere going be sent to different places. Such is the issue of the Muuulman campaign of 1:124, in which tie ilahometans of Asia and Africa were united to those of Eu epe to stifle the Greek Revolution : three hundred sail, composed 4 the same of Egypt and Barbary, and of European transports, et out from Alexandria under the command of Ibrahim ruche ; tee Capitan Paella sailing in the Archipelago with more than two landred sail ; the numerous Asiatic army assembled on the coast emosite Samos ; the regular army of Egypt ; another army AA' ambled under the orders of Deryisch-Pacha, in the plains of Thee wly : the whale of this mass of combined forces have only served to prceure new triumphs to the Greeks. Coney. Dec. 26. It cannot be denied, and it would have been miraculous had it been otherwise, that Greece has internally had numerous die.. I orders, to which none but feeble repressive means had been op posed. One of the first cares of the new Government has been to seek an efficacious remedy for those evils winch compromised in. terns! tranquillity, gild which might have become fatal to the cause of independence. it has, is consequence, published the fol. lowing Decree:— The Provisionary Government of Greece, thinking it to he fee duty to be mindful of the interests of the nation, and of the in ternal and external tranquillity of the state, have resolved, after mature consideration, to adopt a special military law to prevent. for the future, any irregularity en the conduct of the efficers or soldier* of the Greek army. It has in consequence decreed, and sloth de cree as follows : " Am 1.--Every military Chief, from the commanders in chief down to the officers of the lowe,t degree. having separate corn. wand*, who, after having received orders to march against the enemy, shell abandon his post. or shall not punctually obey the orders which have been transmitted to him, stall be &Tiered un. worthy of being intrusted with any command in future. 2. Every officer having received orders to put himself at the held of a division under the command of a superior officer, who shell abandon his post without the authority of his Commander, shall be also deprived of all command fee the future. " S. Every officer who, abandoning his post, shall go about the zeighbcuring towns or villages, without the express order or per aliallieta of his superior, shall not have the right to claim his pay, and shall be accounted unworthy to occupy any poet. " 4. Every officer who shall enlist a greeter number of soldiers than shall have been prescribed him, shall do it at his own cost. '• 6.

Every soldier who shall follow a military chief or any other person whatever, not authorised by Government, shall not be able to claim either pay or provision. " 7. Any man of colour invested with military authority, shall not be able, after the publication of this present, to prevent himself in the place or swat of Government without the authority of the Government itself.

The Austrian Admiral, Accarti, sailed, with the thug-ship La petiole which he commanded, to Napoli de Romania, to require from the Greek Government indemnities, the justice of which have been acknowledged; but the payment being always evaded, and fatigued with the interminable delays, the Admiral summoned the Greek Goverament w satisfy him in 48 hours, informing them that, without they did, he should know bow to insure himself by seising the first Greek armament he might meet. This term being ex. pired, and not having received any satisfaction, M. Amami imme diately manned two boats to make prize of a vessel which happened to be there. The Greeks tired on the Austrians, and dangerously Wounded two sailors ; but time others boarded, and took possession of the vessel, whose crew saved themselves by flight to shore. The Austrians carried off the vessel ; but as this pledge was far from being equal to the worth of the indemnities due by the Greeks, M.

When his Royal Highness returns to this capital he will be accom panied by his august consort. The Chevalier Vander2sse, Governor of the province of Hain aut, whose arrival in this city we announced on his return from Paris, where he has been on a mission. supposed to be relative to the commercial relations between this kingdom and France, has lately had a long audience of the King. as well as M.

Rass•mc•ata DISCO , ' I: RV IN Gatsirta:cn.—l have just received from Copenhagen (says a correspondent in the News or Literature), a very interesting piece of in formation, which 1 immediately communicate to the lover of antiquarian researches. One of those stones called Runic Stones, has been found in Greenland, and brought to Copenhagen. This is an indisputable proof that Iceland ers or Norwegians visited that country in very early times. The drawing of it, which I have received- at the same time, and which will be published in the second part of the fourth volume of the Ant. Annals, leaves no doubt of the anthenticitv, and every satisfaction in this respect will be given by tile language and substance, which will be com municated at the same time by Professor Rask, who has happily deciphered the inscription, which is by no means easy. Such a discovery makes us hope that it will net be the only one, and we may expect, in this manner, much welcome information—an expectation which derives the greatest encouragement from the indefatigable zeal of the Danish Literati. On Thursday morning, a shocking accident happened at Mr. Firth's mill, in Silsbridge-lane, Bradford: a fine youth, about fourteen years of age, the son of the pro prietor, who had just left school to cuter upon business, having occasion to remove a quantity of wool, which lay near the revolving upright shaft passing through the wool sorters' room, was caught by the machinery, and before he ceuld be extricated both has legs were literally shattered to pieces. Surgical aid being immediately procured, one of his legs was amputated about the middle of the thigh, and the amputation of the other would have taken place lied his strength admitted of it, but the operation was ne cessarily delayed, and at four o'clock in the afternoon death terminated his sufferings. The frequency of these accidents calls loudly upon the proprietors of mills to take measures, which, (we understand, are not only practicable but easy,) to guard the shafts. Not more than a fortnight since, a poor lad lost his life in the same manner in Mr. Holds worth's mill, in the Holme.—Leeds Mercury. A Guest !!—At a farm in the parish of Redruth, and near the town, there is a dwelling-house, which has long been reported to be haunted. &were] tenants, who inha bited it in succession, abandoned it after a short residence, alleging that their slumbers were so much disturbed by the nocturnal transactions of their ghostly visitants as to render their removal need wry. However, oldie tales which they circulated were in general discredited, a new tenant wee speedily procured, as the vacancies followed in succession. Sorne-ima in the month of June, 1516, the good woman of the he use intimated to her husband that on the falling of any It avy sutstaucc on the kitchen floor, it produced a hello, sound. On hearing this he resolved to search into the cause of so extraordinary a circumstance ; and having thug up the floor, he discovered, at some depth below the surface, two large flat stems, covering a kind of vault ap parently filled with cinders. Having removed these, he found sonic black mould intermixed with teeth and frag ments of human bones. These were carefully preserved, and being submitted to the inspection of a surgeon in the neigh bourhood, he concluded they were the fragments of some full-grown person. Nothing has transpired that can tend to unravel this mysterious deposit. The house was again forsaken by its inhabitants, and we know not whether it be yet tenanted. It is singular that the under-surface of the' : stones which covered the vault had all the appearance of having been exposed to the action of fire. On this pheno menon, if such it may be termed, but one opinion can be i entertained, so far as the human remains will furnish evi dence, and probable conjecture may be allowed to speak. It seems to have been the body of some person that had been murdered, and reduced to ashes to conceal the fact. But by whom the act was perpetrated, with what circum stances it was attended, in what age it was committed, we must be content to leave unknown until the earth and sea shall give up their dead.—Plemoeth Journal. On the 22d inst. three persons, viz.—Elizabeth New man, aged 59 ; Richard Newman, aged 17; and John Newman, aged 60 (father, mother, and sou,) died in St. Andrew's workhouse; and were all bnrie4 in St. Gre gory's church-yard....-Xoef.ll; Cie:tet:e.

As a note of preparation, chaff is strewed on the Saturday night, before the doors of the inhabitants for whom they intend to ride on the following Monday ; when a man, with his face blacked, riding back wards upon an ass, bawls through the village, " I ride, I ride, for and his bride ;" at the same time scatter ing chaff, saying, " here is a good sample." Fise or six others, dressed up to resemble the unhappy couple and their friends, then commence the dialogue, and conclude with the fight. Two of these representations took place a few weeks ago, and two or three others paid a tine to the riders of from five to twenty shillings, according to their circumstances.

On Tuesday last, Lady hlostyn, their moat excellent and amiable mother, walked thither early in the morning to pus the day with them, and, as she directed, the close carriage was there to fetch her away at nine o'clock in the evening. The approach to Mr. Parry's house from the high road is up a short but steep ascent, near the top of ROAM. At the moment the car. riage had cleared the gate, the off wheel slipped into a water-shoot, the violence of the jerk otcasiored by which was such as to threw the coachman from his seat to the ground. He, however, almost immediately recovered hit legs, and, on running to the horses, who had got into a gallop, succeeded in laying hold of tie traces, and lastly of the reins. The near animal now began to kick violently at him, and his leg catching in his breeches-pocket he was wall pulled down, consequently he once more lost the reins, and the wheels passed over both his knees. Upon this the horses, freed from all restraint, set off' at full speed towards Spring Bank , and; in endeavouring to turn into the road to it, about three hundred yards from the gate at Mr. Parry's, brought the Carriage against two posts with great violence, splitting both. They then took again towards the . high road, and continued their furious career. Lady Mostyn had to this time kept her meat, but, it is supposed. her tright at her situation being increased by the concussion, slit took the fatal resolution of jumping out. Health:l the coachman a footman was in attendance upon her Ladyship. The latter, who had got down at the gate, to open it. was in the act of stepping up behind when the coachman fell, and ran forward to the coach-door, but was unable to .retain hold of it; owing to the rate at which the horses were going : Ile thee fol. lowed the carriage with all the speed he was able, and about twenty yards front the entrance to Spring Bank he observial something iu the road, which he at first thought was a coat or shawl fallen front the ;sumac, but, on approaching it, he fouoa nil lidmgcar, lying on bet fact, with her eves closed and bleeding rrofttsely at the nose. He spoke to her, but she returned no mower, being in a state of complete insensibility. lie then took oft' his coat, and, • wrapping it roand her, placed her on the bank ; by this time the coachman came up, and he remained with her whilst his fellow. servant went to the house and procured usistants; by whom she was conveyed home in a large chair, scarcely showing the least signs of life. In this interval a gentleman Wile wan passing, act ing from the impulse of the moment, attempted to bleed her Lady.. ship, but little blood issued from the puncture. The footman set off to NVorcester for medical aid, and Dr. Hastingo, Mt. Ray. meet, Mr. Carden, and Messrs. Stephenson, seri— ant( jun., were promptly at the bedside of the unfortunate lady. They found her right shoulder dislocated, but the most extensiye injury was on the left aide of her head, which iviu contused and swollen to that degree that, they immediately pronounced her cafe destitute of the smallest hope. She remained throughout the night, and NVed nesilay, in the same state, her eyes closed, and appArently per fectly unconscious of her situation, and until shout o'clock. on Thursday morning, when she expired. • - On examining, next day, the spo; where her Ladyship fell, It was foam' to be full seven teat from the track of her carriage; the fatal mischief, .therefore: must have ensued from the great violence with which she pitched upon her head to the ground, and not from her clothes catching in the wheel, as has been :oaten ? .Sir Edward was absent at Leicester at the time of the accident; a despatch was sent off to him the sante night, and he arrived at Spring Bank about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, hat it was deemed by the medical gentlemen most prudent, if pas sible, to keep him front beholding the truly deplorable state of their patient, her face being so dreadfully disfigured that not a feature was recognizable, and with which lie most reluctaiuly complied.. Sir &Hurd, we under stand, remain* in a State of the moat incimsolchle affliction, at the loss of his afflectionate and inestimable wife, and the devoted and fond mother of eleven children. It is due to the feelings of the coachman and fodtmrtn to say, it was owing to no neglect of their usual rare and attention to their beloved and valued mistress, the melancholy occurrence took place, which has, in so afflicting a manner, deprived them of her. After the deceased had so unfortunately spr u n g fret her carriage, the horses slackened their pace, and arrived at the Barbourne gate at a trot; the keeper threw open the gate as usual, not knowing they they were without a guide, and, in passing through, the carriage came In contact wi th the Trait, by which the splinter-bar was Broken ; after proceeding a little further thei , were stopped. Lady hlostyn was, we untie/at/Ind, about :i3 years of age, and was the daug hter of Btuadell, Esq., of ('rosby-house, Lancaahlre. An inquest was held upon the body on Friday night, and a vcr. diet of Accidental Death returned. ROBBERY, IVITH EXTRAORDINARY OCTRAGE. . . Scarcely hag subside] the sensetion caused by the murder on Whaddon Chase, when a robbery took place, not five miles Iron: the scene of that dark tweurrenee, which was accompanied with eircumstancei of extraordir ary outrage. The object of the robins!. was the plunder of the toll-house at Padhitry-gate, about a Mlle on this side of Buckingham. It is little more than two years since the robbery of the toll-house, and the murder of the venerable couple who were the keepers, at Aston Clinton-gate, itithin two miles of. Aylesbury, on the road to Tying, had aroused all the feeling in the county But neither the execration of the co u ntry, n or t h e unpitied fate of the g;ng that perpetrated the robbery and the mur der, have deterred of from a repetition of one of the crinics• on a similar object. It was not 'hove a week before, that, on account of the toll. having been let to another person, the old man who had for some , time been accustomed to collect the tolls, had resigned his post to another. On Tuesday night List, a little before nine o'clock, t h is man, expecting the arri'ml of the mail-cart from Buckingham to Aylesbury, was striving to keep himself awake, when he way summoned out of his house by the accustomed call, and instantly surrounded by three assailants.

Mr. Staines advised the driver to make haste to Buck ingham for assistance, whilst Ise galloped on to the relief 01 the sufferer. When he arrived at the gate, he found the kecrer with his hands tied behind him, his body fixed with cords in tlgs bridle gate adjoining the door - post; and dime leg fastened to it by means of the door-chain and a padlock. flaying loosed him from the gate, and perceiving his features much diatorfe.l, and his voice very much obstructed, he proceeded to examine the face, when he found an extratledipary projection in emit check. Upon his introducing his finger into the mouth., he di covered it t'. have been occasioned by a round piece of wood about four inches long. and, the thickness of a swan's quill.

A shorte r m an i n a ;fackei stood by without interfering - a third., still shorter, in a shore smock-frock, assisted, and produced cools from his pocket. They all went into the house, and I heard them breaking open the till, from which they took the day's receipt.
