PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, OCTOBeIt 22.
We end the following news in the Journal de
rowlowse :

" The courier of the 15th has at length brought
un mws from Barcelona, dated the sth of October.
•' General Mina has not, it is said, fired • single
shot : he is occupied wholly in distributing the
command of the troops.
" He has indicated to each chief the district
which he is to attend to; while he himself, with his
division, will proceed to every quarter where his
presence may be necessary."
The arrival of troops is still continued. They
unite themselves as they come up to the divisions to
which they are appointed. In Barcelona new corps
are forming. The Constitutionals are pushing tberr
preparations with activity. It is thought that the
urrny of Catalonia will amount to 30,000 effective
men before the end of the month.

We have already spoken of the Treaty of Offen•
sive Alliance which is in negociation between Spain
and Portugal. The latter country, in the event of
an invasion of the Peninsula, is to furnish an auxili-
ary army of 30,000 men.

ZANTE. SEPTEMBER 14.

The Turks of the island of Candi.. after re-
inforcements from Egypt, had left the town of
Lands. and of Caner, and began to art on the of-•
fensive, but they only remained in the field ►ix
weeks. After suffering two complete defeats, they
again took refuge in their fortified places, where
they are again blockaded. The number of troops
they lost exceeds the number of the reinforcements
they received.
[We hare already reported the events which took
place in the Peloponnesus. from the entry of the
Turks till their defeat near St. George. The let-
ters which came to hand to-day give new details of
this important event, and we shall sketch a picture
of the situation of the remains of the Turkish Puny
since that period. We believe it will not be un-
interesting to give an authentic notice of the events
which accompanied and followed their defeat.]—

On July 19th, the Turks passed the Isthmus of
Corinth. and took the direction of Argos and Napoli
di Romani. General Colocotroni on his part. at
the first news of the entrance of the enemy into
L,vedio, gave the command of the troops of Patios
to his colleague, &mint, and moved himself with
3,000 men to the interior of the Peninsula, where
he made a general levy df the inhabitants.
July 23d, this General, at the head of 16,000
men. attacked the enemy, whom he met in the plains
of Argos. The Turks weretesten, and fell back
on Carvathy. The 24th and 261 h. they were pur-
sued very closely, and harassed during the whole
of their retreat. They were again attacked at the
defile of Trete sod completely defeated; they lost
2,000 men, and mach baggage.
Bring closely pursued, they entrenched Them-
ohms at Saint George, where they even received,
some reinforcements from Potreo and Lepatito,..--
The army of the Greeks was also increased by the
great number of volunteers who came from all parts
to the early part of August—it amouuted to more
than 25,000 men. Colocotroni then caused the
passes, both interior and exterior, of the Isthmus
of Corinth to be occupied, and cut off the retreat
of the enemy.

The 6th aud 7th of August the Turks endeavour-
ed to force o passage ; in the combat of the 6th
they were attacked on all points, and repulsed with
great loss on their part ; in the battle of the 7th.
which was more bloody, 9,000 Turks perished on
the field of battle. The Commander-in-Chief,
Ali Parii, formerly Grand Vizier. was of the num-
ber ; 51elicnud Dram Ali (a native of Drama), Pacha
of I hessaly. was taken prisoner, with several Bey,
of that province and of Macedonia.
The remainder of the Turkish army dispersed in
three different directions. A corps of 2,500 took
the road to Corinth, and was pursued. Another
corps of 2,000 fled towards Flagion-Oros, from
whence it eudeavoured, out of despair. to pin the
road to Napoli di Romani. It was surprised by
Nicitar, near Berbati, and cut in pieces. A very
small part threw themselves into the mountains, and
pitied Corinth.

posed chiefly of Albanians, could do nothing else
in its desperate situation than to precipitate itself
towards Tripolitsii. It we overtaken between

The Paris Journals of the 42d contain no esti'.
factory account of the mili►ary operations in the
north of Spain. The Toulouse Journal of the sth
states, that MINA had not been eiriged in any
battle up to that date, bet WWI entirely occupied
io the distribution of his army.
A letter from Zmte gives an account of the mili-
tary operations of the Turks in the Morey, and
their expulsion from it in the beginning of August.
We give it as being a more detailed, and apparently
correct report of these interesting events than any
yet published.

says. " Some years since the goa►tern of oats was

price of corn has fallen 50 per cent. a similar reduc-
tion should be made in the lentil. At 4d. abundant

CROMER, OCTOBER 15.—1 t has pleased Provi-
dence to allict this place with • great calamity, in
the loss of ten industrious fishermen, in the storm
of the 13th, by which five widows and sixteen chil-
dren are left destitute of support : there is reason
to tear that others have been lost from Sherring-
Imm, Ranson, Overstrand, end places adjacent, and
the fishermen who survived have many of them had
their beats wrecked and nets destroyed. In conse-
quence of these distressing creole, • subscription,
headed by Lord and Lady SUVFIELD, has been
opened for the relief of the survivors, and we ear-
nestly hope it will be liberally supported.
