We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday
and Thursday. The following are extracts
CADIZ, OCT. 26.—8 y the reports that have been
received, it is known that the state of the yellow
f.ver was as follows:—At Port St. Mary's, from
the 13th to the 23d inclusive. deaths 89, cured 190,
s'ek, 235. At Xeres do la Fontera from the 14th
to the 23d Oct. deaths 20, cured 10, sick, 221.—At
Lebrija, from the 13th to the 20th, deaths, 19,
cured 31, sick 46. San Lucar has again been
declared infected : from the 14th to the 22d, deaths
8, cured 4, sick 13.
Msnitio, Nov. I.—An express has arrived from
Saragossa, which plate he left on the 29th October;
ael it seems that the news he brings is, that reports
tying been spread that the Government intended
to disarm the national militia, some of the latter,
with their Commander, proceeded to depose the Po-
litical Chief', Don Francisco Nloreda.
CoestaNTINOPLE, OCT. 21.—For some days
pas: this capital has been in consternation. People
speak openly of the disasters which the Turkieh
troops have lately experienced from the Morea as far
0' to Larissa. It is certainly known that they have
bee completely defeated by the Greeks and by Ali
Pac ea, who has at length joined them. Two
• Pac is have been killed, and it is added that a third
is s verely wounded.
It may be easily imagined, that since these new
sue esses of the Greeks, the reprisals have been
terrible. Their force has been considerably increased
of late; they have delieited four different corps.—
Ne er was there a more obstinate or more terrible
bat le : they fought tie- nine successive days without
int rruption, and it may be said without taking any
rep The success of the combat was decided by
a 1 toter named Antar, commanding the Greeks of
Th ssaly, the country of Ali Pacha. This latter is
av relieved from his blockade, and fights with all
.the diry of despair and revenge, excited in him by
the death of his two sons.
A general uneasiness reigns here. The success
of the Greeks is an imprtaut event, and commences
a new era in history. The Turks are in a critical
situation, it is ditlieult to commit more faults than
ti.ey have done since the commencement of the
troubles.
OLT. 22.—The arrival of Captain 13crgamine,
with the Russian fhg., has greatly rejoiced the Nile
and the.peop:e. Immediately, favourable opinions
were formed for the maintenance of peace. Nothing
could come more a propos. to divert people's atten-
tion from the terrible news from Albania. It is
doubtless to amuse the people that a report has been
si,read this morning, that the Turkish fleet had
released the squadron of the Captain Bey, which
was in the Gulf Lepante, and that it had captured
20 (others say (iJ) Greek vessels. It is added that
the Hydroits and the Ispariots had returned to their
posts, and that proposals for an accommodation were
nettle, though at first the Porte formally refused to
listen to them.

A patent has recently been taken out for orna-
r.iental incrustations, called Crystallo Cerumine,
which bids fair to form an era in the art of glass-
making. By the improved process, ornaments of
any description, arms, cyphers, portraits, and land-
scapes, of any variety of colours, may be introduced
into the glass, so as to become perfectly imperishable.
The substance of which they are composed is le:s
fusible than glass, incapable of generating air, and
at the same time susceptible of contraction or expan-
:tun, as, in the course of manufacture, the glass
becomes hot or cold. It may previously be formed
into any device or figure by either moulding or mu-
ddling; and may be painted with metallic colours,
which are fixed by exposure to a melting heat. The
ornaments are introduced into the body of the glass
whi:e hot, by which means the air is etlixtuai:y ex-
cluded, the composition being actually incorporated,
with the glass. In this way every de.eription of or-
nauen tal glass-ware may be decorated with embossed
Waite or coloured arms or crests. Specimens of
tl:cse incrustations have been exhibited, not only in
&canters and wine-glasses, but in lamps, girandoies,
chimney ornaments, plates, and smelling-bottles.
Busts and statues on a small scale, caryatides to sup-
port muasks or el-cks, masks after the antique, have
b..:en introduced with admirable effect. _
