FRENCH PAPERS.

[Prom the Etoile. dated Thurnday.l
The crisis which is taking place at the Exchange does not in any
way affect either the maritime or internal conamerce, or agricultural
and manufacturing industry ; all these branches, on the contrary,
are in the road of sensible improvement, and prepare collectively an
increase of public wealth, which must, in the result, have a very
favourable effect upon every species of productive value.
The exports of articles manufactured in Paris, which appeared so
extraordinary in 1324, are still more so in 1023, since, in the first
ten months of the year, according to the information that has been
obtained at the Custom-house, the value of these exports exceeded
that of the entice preceding year. The momentary embarrassment
which is experienced in Pavia may be attributed to the seventy or
eighty millions which have been suddenly drawn out for the pur.
chase of wines in Bordeaux, Burgundy, and the South, the quality
of wltizli is declared this year excellent. And who can say that
this wealth, spread through the country, may not again increase
production, or be partly distributed in the public funds 2 The
thirty or forty millions which the bank advanced upon the certificate
of the last loan, converted into four per cents. and which, it' if at
this moment withdraws frotn circulation, increases the embarrass-
ment, and has screed for food to the speculators for a fall, as well as
for a pretext to capitalists to augment their pretensions ; bat these
thirty or forty millions may again come out of the bank upon the
deposit of Bente'', or of good signatures, and the forty millions of
sovereigns of which we have spoken, and which the 31int may
meet in ten days, may enable it to assist by more than eight.- mil.
lions the liquidation of the month, without in the least weakening
the solidity of its position.
We repeat that every branch of commerce and industry is in a
satisfactory state, and this result of a few acts of the Government
clearly points out to it the route which it has to follow. Why, then,
does the Bank of France, by a narrows and unnecessary precedence,
contribute to create an evil, which did not really exist, instead of
preserving commerce, as in duty bound, from the evil which threat-
ened it ? No, the Bank. we are persuaded, will not act so, and we
have already a gttsrantee of our opinion in the facility with which,
during the last few days, it has discounted the paper which has
been presented. As every one exaggerates his fears, we should not
be surprised If abundance were to succeed in a few days to ember-
easement, and if persona were to be embarrassed by those very funds
which they now far will fail them.
TRIESTE, Nor. I.
Letters from Syra inform na. that 3lnhamed Ali has sent word to
the fiydriote, that since they dared to attempt the burning of his
fleet tinder his own eyes, he had sworn to ruin their island. In
consequence of this menace, great preparations were made at Ily-
dra, and 40 fire-ships had been put in requisition.
The Greek squadrons before Prevesa and the entrance of the
Gulf of I.epanto continue to keep a vigormia look-out. and turn
back all the Austrian vessels which attempt to enter. There have
been severe discussions between the Greek Commandants and the
Captains of the Austrian vessels, who have protested formally
against the blockade.
Notwithstanding all that has been said as to the retreat of Red.
achid Pacha, we know positively that he is still In Etolia, although
abandoned by most of the Albanian Chiek It is even said that he
intends to winter in Etolia and in the neighbourhood of 31isso-
longhi, so as to be able to attack that place again with the first fa-
vourable opportunity.

DUTCH PAPERS.

FIAGus, Nov. 1.5.
The King and Queen. and thelt Royal Highnesses Prince and
Princess Frederick, and Princess Marianne, returned yesterday af-
ternoon to this town, from Amsterdam. _ _ _

In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-Gcneral yester-
day, a Royal Message, dated Amsterdam, N0v.12, was prescn ted, to-
gether with a Project of Law to provide for the pecuniary wams of
our foreign possessions. It was resolved to send the project of law,
and the explanatory memorial accompanying it, to the sections, for
examination.

AMSTERDAM, Now. 13.
The Amsterdam Journal continues to give very long extracts
from the Batavia Papers, containing numerous details of the ope.
rations of the Dutch troops in Celebes, the results of which hare
already been stated. An account from Borneo gives the particulars
of the murder of several persons by pirates. 31. Van Grave,
Resident at Sambos, having arrived from Java on board the Thalia,
and being desirous to reach his post as soon as possible, embarked
in a small vessel for Sambos. He was accompanied by Monsieur
Pelletier, lately arrived from Europe. They sailed on the Ist of
April, and in the morning discovered eight proas, which they
recognised to be pirates. The Captain desired the two Europeans to
keep below, that the pirates might not be rendered more desperate
by the hopes of a large booty. After an hour's firing, M. Pelletier
was mortally wounded in the cabin M. Grave then leaped on
deck, discharged his two pistols, and then, with his arms crossed,
awaited his fate, which seemed inevitable: he was soon struck by a
ball, which put an end to his life, and the distressing situation in
which he had been for some hours. About noon the vessel received
a shot between wind and water, and sunk. Four of the crew escaped
in the boat to the river of Pentianaka, where they related these me-
lancholy particulars. Besides the crew, there were on board four
native servants of the Resident, and one of 3! Pelletier, so that
no fewer than sixteen persons have lost their lit-es. M. Van Grave,
who had gained general esteem by his conduct, during three years'
residence at Sambas, is generally lamented by the Government of the
west coast of Borneo. He was formerly in the army, and made
severalicampaigns in Russia rid Spain, where he greatly distin-
guished himself. and had the [TOSS of Ate Legion of Honour.

Beigi(pre, says, that the Sections of the States-General arc

a precarious state of health.

'TOE WOLTER Or CROATIA.—LOtterRfrOM Agram, in
Croatia, say that the wolves have increased in a dreadful
manner in the beginning of August, and seem to pursue
the human species rather than cattle. The magistrates of
the district have sent above 4000 men with muskets, hay-
forks, &c. against them ; So florins reward are offered for
every female wolf, and only 1 florin for every male ; the
people searched the woods a long time in vain, at length
they made use of the following shocking ,stratagem :
They sought out an eminence in the wood, on which some
children were placed; marksmen, with loaded muskets,
placed themselves in ambush close by. Five wolves ap-
peared from different parts of the forest, and advanced
cautiously towards the eminence ; two of the beasts were
shot dead, the others escaped.—Yienno Paper, Oct. SO.

England produces more wealth than France, Russia, and
America, put together. The produce of England is nearly
