FRENCH PAPERS.

We last night received the Paris papers of Wednesday
They arc wholly without interest on any other subject that,
the elections. Some notion may be formed of the pewer oc
the French Government over the whole body of the eke,
tors, when it is known that out of 216 Deputies, who are
already returned by the Colleges of Arrondissement, the
Liberal party can only claim about sixteen Ilember.
The Departniental Colleges have yet to elect 111 Deputies;
but in these the Opposition Candidates have, if possible,
less chalice than in the arrondissements; and altogether
it is calculated that out of the 430 Deputies who make up
the Chamber, not more than forty or "lily will compose the
Opposition. This fact is the hest possible illustration of
the freedom of election in France. Tile accounts from
Greece in the Paris journals give additional reasons for
anticipating the final and complete triumph of indepen-
dence in that quarter of the globe. Our Nehle country-
man Lord Byron, we learn, is renderins; th: most siEnd

Oriental Spectator, a paper decidedly ho.ii le to the t;reek,,
tells us of preparations making by the Otimilan GJY:rn.
ment to meet its rising and powerful enemy. It appears
that the French funds continue rising. On Toesdav tha

The conversation of the day at Pere is the Arnim of :I. Bin.
siacky, and the order fur the reieasc of Ilanesi. The latter was at
lion in exile, under cause confinement, and is said to I,e in NA
health. The annunciation of his liberty makes but litrie impres-
sion on the Greeks here; nay, many of them do not byneve Mb:-
cause it was only s few days ago that the Bishop of Wracks. a
man universally respected, was arrested and thrown into the prison
of the Boorangi Baschi. Many are afraid that he has already
been executed. Letters have been received fro.:l Armenian ma-
chants at Trebisuod, which mention fresh hostilities on thepan of

[From the Novsksor of Wednesday.]
The Official Part contains only an Ordinance relating to a ph.
irate person.

The Non-official Part contains a very long extract from the
Oriental Speetatear, dated Smyrna. Jan. 23 and 30. of which the
following are extracts

•• Then: is every reason to expect that the preparations fir the
fourth campaign will be formidable. Eighty thousand men we
said to be destined to act against the Mores by land, while the
Ottoman fleet and the squadron of the Viceroy of Egypt will
co-operate by sea.
The lase accounts from Seio indicate that the alarm had sub.
sided, which was caused by the report of a formidable attack ime-
dinned by the Greek. to conquer the island.
The accounts hom Cauca of the beginning of January, reprewert
the situation of the Turks in the island of Crete, to be still is-
ruurable. They were in quiet po.scasion of the fortresses, sad
even masters of the plains, where, however, for fear of a sudden
at tack, the harvest was gathered under the protection of an amid
curt.

The expedition sent by the Viceroy of Egypt bad arrived, sod
we learn by letters from Selo, that it consists of several thousand
troops commanded by the %.iceroy's son. tipeuia was at that
time the only place in the hands of the Greeks. home cams
