FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, SEPT. 4.—A report prevailed yesterday
at the opera that the Courier Extraordinary, who
arrived in the course of the day, and brought intcl.
li.,;ence of the passage of ,the Truth by the Russian
army, and of the commencement of hostilities be-
tween Turkey and Russia.
This does not appear probable; the Baron de
Strogonoff might, without any inconvenience, have
remained embarked in the roads of Constantinople
until the end of August, particularly if that report,
which is generally believed, be true ,—that the
Emperor Alexander never contemplated the com-
mencement of hostilities betbre the Ist of September.
The mo,:t probable presumption seems to be, that the
war may in ilia have broken out, but it is impos.
Bible that authentic news of it can have reached
Paris.

Some journals have announced that the opening of
the next Session of Legislation will take place early
into vember, and that the Budget fin 18?2 will be
discussed and adopted before the Ist of January
next. The Animal de falls is of opinion that the
Chambers ca not be convoked so early, and that it
will be impossible to pass the fin..nee law the begin-
ning of the year.
The authentic news from Constantinople reaches
to the 9th of August. '1 he Baron de Stroganoff;
who had been detained in the roa,!s by contrary
unids, set sail on the evening 01 that day, the wind
having beco-ne lair. A French frigate brought him
and his suite away. During the 1 days she re-
mained at the Cape, a very active correspondence
was carried on between the Ministers of England,
Austria, and Russia. [lopes in favour of the peace
were entertained in consequence; and it was be-

THE NATIONAL REG:

hewed that, though the Baron de StrogonofF had not
directly continued the ncgoeiations with which he
was charged, his reason was, that he might literally
obey the directions of las Sovereign, as to those
points which concerned hint personally, and with
the Ministers of the Ottoman empire.
It seems certain that the proceedings relating to
Constantinople (up to the present time at least)
have had the common consent of France, Russia,
Austria, England, Prussia, Sweden, and the Low
Countries.

Biz ()tans, Avo.3l.—lt is positively asserted that
the King of Great Britain will be at Brussels on th
15th or 16th of September. He ‘vill remain here
it is believed two or three days, during which time
he will be present at the Court entertainments.—
Some persons think that the monarch will repair to
to l'aris,others suppose that he will proceed directly
to Vienna.

TURIN, Auo. 26.—The Prince of Cistcrna, the
Marquis of Prie, and Count de Perron, have been
condemned to death, and executed in effigy. The
fate of all the individuals implicated in the late pro-
ceedings will be innnedLitely known, and then his
Sink-Ay will return to the capital.
AuossußG, Au, 28.—A French officer, bearing
important dispatches from Constantinople to Paris,
passed this city. He quitted Constantinople on the
loth inst. and confirtits the intelligence that the
Baron de Strogonotl had sailed the evening betbre
for Odessa.

ANCONA, A Uti. IS. Some of those Greeks, who
formed a part of Ypsilanti's army, are arriving at
Trieste every day. They are proceeding to Greece,
and are in the most distressing condition. They
are not permitted to embark, but must make the
journey by land. We have no news from Greece.
I send you a letter front Smyrna, written by a
German :

• SKYINIA, JULY 17 —Commerce is again in great disorder,
nu persons dare open their shops or warehouses, the embargo is
taken oil; some ships have sailed within these few days. A great
number of Greeks are shot or beheaded every day. The Jews
drag the carcases about the streets, or throw them into the sea.
Nothing but the pressure of hunger would induce the Greeks to
come out of their houses; this compels them, and costs them
their byes."

Fn,t. Truk EvENT.—The conversation of all
Paris turns on a frightful event which took place
two days since at the house of M. I. Mouttier, a
money changer, in the street de la Feuillade. At
a late hour of the evening, a person, who it has
been since ascertained had just left a gambling
louse, where he had lost all his property, entered
the house. There was only a young female servant
at the counter. Madame Mouttier and her nephew
were in the back shop. The man, when he entered,
closed the door, stabbed the servant with a poniard,
and seized a basket full of gob!. Madame Nloutticr
and her nephew rushed forward, and were both
stabbed by the assassin, who escaped from the house,
and reached the street de Li Vrilliere. Two young
men endeavouring to seize the miscreant, were both
wounded, one of them dangerously. An old man,
who was going quietly along, was also stabbed by
the furious wretch. He was at length seized by a
patrol of gendarmes ; but even in the moment of his
arrest, he made an ineffectual attempt to wound one
of the military. He was conducted to the guard-
house at the Bank, but he had hardly entered, when
he suddenly drew a pistol from his pocket end blew
out his brains. Nothing was found on his person
which might Laid to a discovery of the monster.—
(Cunstilutionnel.) The Moniteur states, that three of
the persons wounded are since dead, and it is feared
two others will not survive.

VIENNA, Aug. 19.—the following are the cir-
cumstantial details of a very remarkable affair which
took pl..ce near the Convent of Statina, between the
Greeks and the Turks, to the great disadvantage of
the latter:—
The Convent of Statina was inhabited only by

seven Greek monks. It is surrounded by a very
high hill. Ninety-seven Greeks, under the orders
of a Servian Captain of their own choice, called
Anastasi, had thrown themselves into this convent,
where they were attacked on the !25th of July by
1,500 Turks, under the orders of a Bimbacha (chief
of 1,000 tnen), to whom three Jews acted as guides.
The Greeks placed behind the battlements the must
experienced marksmen, to whom the rest supplied
muskets loaded without interruption. At first the
three Jews set tire to baskets of corn which were
placed near the wall, and the wind soon spread the
flames into the court of the convent, and the convent
being constructed of wood, was *ton consumed.—
The Greeks, however, did not give up their reso-
lution to defend themselves. In the wall of the
convent there was a small old door, and through
that one of the monks escaped. The Turks seeing
this opening, penetrated by it into the court. The
Chief then assembled his followers in the church,
and barricaded the door as much as possible, while
they kept up an increasing fire from the roof of the
church, which was partly wrapped in flames ; but
those who remained in the court, and who could not
withdraw in time, were overpowered by numbers,
and all put to the sward. Then Bimbacha then

.
the,llter rejected with di Q.
At
pardon,
the same time a bah"" the rooff laid the 133:.•I'acha
dead on the spot. Imtm::."s
ely a Turk cut off his
head, and carefully wrapt it ti. 1,17.14 piece of cloth
to show that it had fallen in battle.
Meanwhile the flames, which enveloped 6ilf'.l
grecs the roof of the church, forced the Greeks to
descend. The Turks penetrated into the church—
they thught round the high altar, and the Greeks
continued their fire with such effect that the Turks
demanded an armistice, which was only granted
them on condition of immediately withdrawing.
The Turks lost 372 killed, and the Greeks 17
killed and 13 wounded. The seven monk, were
killed. The three Jews fell into the hands of the
Greeks, who nailed them to the cross, after having
torn the skin front their bodies, and exercised on
them other barbarities.

The 80 triumphant Greeks, after having laid
down their arms, passed the frontier of Bukovina,
and were sent by an officer of the Austrian guard to
13ozatice, where they safely arrived on the ::Bth of
July.

Tue KING.—His Majesty quitted Ireland cm
Ntonday last, and his arrival in Town is exrct...,l
to-morrow.

A private letter from Dublin, dated the fhl inst.
says—" The conduct of the Chief l'oiiee Magis.
trate Marley), at the close of the late civic enter-
taiament, has been noticed by the Sovereign in a
manner most credit:Ode to his Majesty, and most
congenial to the forgiving temper of that body whom
that underling of the executive had the audacity to
insult. A special messenger from the Castle waited
yesterday upon the Earl of Fingal to request his at-
tendance there. His Lordship on his arrival was
received by Sir B. Bloomfield, who stated that he
was commanded by his Majesty to express to his
Lordship the deep indignation which his Majesty
felt at learning that a Police Magistrate of Dub:ii.
with the countenance of a considerable number of
individuals, had, at the conclusion of the di. tier at
the Mansion-house, presumed to propose a toast
which is considered by the bulk of the population of
the country to be given in the spirit of hostility; and
and to assure his Lordship, that if the expression of
his Majesty's indignation did not assume that exem-
plary charac,er which was perhaps expected by the
community, it was solely to be attributed to the de-
termination originally formed In the King, to render
his visit to Ireland a visit of peace and conciliation.
Sir Benjamin stated, however, that his Majesty bad
commanded, that the i•adividual principally offending
should receive the severest possible reprimand, in
Majesty's name, with an intimation that a repetiti•.:t
of the offence would entail a more serious mark
of the royal displeasure ; and that it was the wish of
the King that these his sentiments should be com-
municated to the Catholic Body by his Lordship.

Alderman Vood arrived at Amsterdam on the
4th inst. on his return from the funeral of iier late
Majesty. In all the towns and places which he
paged in his way through Germany, the same
allectionate regard tin the hue Queen appeared to
exist. Whenever the worthy Alderman was dis-
covered by his passport or otherwise, the inhabitants
immediately crowded around to speak of, to praise,
and to express their regard for her; and at Osna•
Bruck, they flocked into his room at the inn, and
ninny of the principal ones, among whom was the chief
magistrate of the place, insisted on shaking hands
with him, and on expressing their thanks for his
attachment to her late Majesty.
The Journals of Piedmont contain most afflicting
details of losses and injury, occasioned by storms,
which have spread devastation throughout several
provinces of that kingdom. At Carignan, Piohesi,
anti particularly at Pignerol, there has been a toll of
hail stones as large as eggs. A great many persons
have been severely wounded, the lands ravap,ed, the
roofs of houses broken, and trees torn up ; Lidded to
which a great number of oxen have perished in the
storms. _

Extract of a letter from the capital of Iceland,
dated 9th July A vessel is cast on shore on
Westmann Islands, she has been upset a considerable
time ; there were five bodies found on board in a
decayed state ; they have been buried in one cuts:..
She is supposed to be from the coast of Labrador;
the only papers found are two duplicate bills of ex-
change upon somebody at Stourminster. A board,
apparently from the stern, has been sent to the go-
vernor ; there is upon it Jane of Dartmouth, painted
in large German-text, nearly obliterated. She is a
sloop or small schooner, and has been I.alen with fish
and oil ; the bills are dated in October 1810."
The coiners have been busily employed for some
time past coining bud shillings and sixpences. They
are now circulating in all directiens, and arc badly
executed, and have a brassy sound and dull appear-
ance. Retail shopkeepers particularly should be
cautious what silver they take after dusk, as that is
the time generally when spurious pieces are uttered.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10.

The deliberations of the Coroner's Inquest upon
the death of HONEY will probably close on Tuesday,
and in that case we shall enter into an examination
of the whole affair in our next.
The recent occurrences in Ireland are too ridi-
culous, childish, and farcical, to bear comment, and
they arc the only subjects of conversation at present.

Accounts from Madeira of the middle of July,
state that the people in that colony seemed to enjoy
the privileges afforded by the new Constitution.—
It was supposed that some fresh regulations would
he adcpted,imposing a duty on foreign flour, wheat,
and other grain, hitherto imported duty free. The
t!lrce deputies, who had been elected at Madeira
uniler the new Constitution, had sailed for Lisbon,
and carried with them the remonstrances of he
people against the enormous duties imposed by the
United States on Madeira wines. It was supposed
that a countervailing duty would be la!d on certain
articles, the produce of the United States. Accounts
LA arrived at St. Michael's, that the Governor of
Terceira (who had been under confinement for re-
fusing to consent to the new order of things) had
bten publicly murdered in the streets with several
others. The British ship Royal George, with a go-
vernor for New South Wales, sailed from Madeira
en the 10th of June.
