FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Etoile, dated Wednesday, Sept. 14.)
PARIS, SEPT. 13.
On the sth of this month, the first assistance
sent to the Greeks by the Philanthropic Com-
mittee at Paris sailed from Marseilles. This
party consists of old officers, subalterns, and
workmen of the artillery, commanded by Lieu.-
Colonel Maxime Ray baud and Captain Arnaut,
of the artillery. They carry with them every
thing necessary for the establishment of a fouu-
dry, nuti a yard for ship-building.
M. Maxime Raybaud has already served two
years in Greece ; he was Aide•de-Camp to Prince
M uroco rd a to.

It is said that the Greeks of Gandia have re-
volted against the Turks.

Getteral Goura has left Salona with 2,000 or
3,000 tn-en, Rome Hots, for the purpose of com-
bating Ibrahim Pacha, who is in the plains of
Tripnlizza.. A corps of 1,200 Arabs, which he
lied left at Nisi, has been entirely destroyed by
the Greeks, who came down from the mountains
of A rcatlia.

Accounts from Corfu of the 18th of August
announce that a body of Mainotes has occupied
Calamata, whence it is inferred that Pietro Bey,
Prince of the Mainotes, acts again in concert with
Colocotroni, and that he is perfectly reconciled
with the Government at Napoli di Romania.
According to accounts received direct from
Hydra of the 3d, and from Napoli of the 7th,
the plague has manifested itself not only in the
Morea, but in the Isle of Candia, with a viru-
lence which excites serous alarms.

The Board of Health at Corfu exercises in-
creased vigilance on account of the plague at
Modon ; but it is not known to have extended
to any other place. It is even affirmed that !bra-
ham Pacha has established a cordon to cut off the
communication between Modon and the rest of
the Morea, and that the measures he has adopted
are like those usual in Europe ; but as be ex-
pects reinforcements and supplies of provisions
and ammunition from Alexandra, where the
plague prevails, the precaution he has taken af-
fords but little security for the future.
At Corfu the state of the public health is per-
fectly good ; but an English frigate which arrived
from the Levant, on the 10th of this month, ex-
cited some uneasiness. It ha'd six sick on board,
one of whom e 4 P d on the same day, and three
others a few days afterwards. The frigate has
been placed under double quarantine; but it is
certain that the malady has nothing pestilential
in it, and that it is only a bilious fever caught at
_Athens in consequence of fatigue. Some persons
pretend that it is the typhus, and this is not so
formally contradicted as the suspicion of the
plague. The bodies of the four deceased officers
have been landed, to be buried, which inspires
some fears for the future, in case the disorder
slrould he contagious.

The Memorial Bordelais says that the Trap-
pist has been found dead in his bed in the con-
vent where he was confined by order of the Go•
vernment.

TINO, JULY 24.
The Governor of the lonian islands has been
to the Moron, Hydra, and Spezzia, where he bad
several conferences with the insurgent chiefs. He
was on board Commodore Hamilton's ship.

JULY 27.
It is said there has lately been a general as•
sembly of the Governors of Greece, in which the
question was discussed to what European nation
they should have recourse in case of extremity.
There were very warm debates A pretty
powerful party was for imploring the protection
of France, but the contrary party, which is for
the English, prevailed. It was therefore decided
that Greece in danger should place itself nuder
the protection of England. Commodore Hamil-
ton hastened to promise the Greeks that in less
than 50 days they should receive the most effec-
tual assistance from the nation preferred ; that
perhaps troops and ships of war might be sent
them ; in a word, he made them the most bril.
liant promises.

AUGUST 1.

Commodore Hamilton has sent an express to
London to submit to the Government the wishes
of the Greeks, to whom he has promised that he
will perhaps give them a favourable answer in 50
days, as he said at first. It is affirmed that he
is particularly desirous that the proposal should
be favourably received by the British Govern.
meat, because his representations have chiefly in-
duced various English companies to advance
funds to the insurgents.

AUGUST 2.
Commodore Hamilton hrls put into our port.
Some persons on hoard have confirmed the current
reports. It is true that the English Commodore
has transmitted to his Goveru►nent the wishes of
the Gi.lvernment of (3 reeve. It is added, that
the Greeks of the Peninsula were determined to
have recourse to France ; hut the islanders, who
have long shown their preference of the English,
prevailed, and have induced the rest of Greece
to desire the protection of Great Britain.

Muo, AUG. 1.
A merchant from Hydra announces, that the
En; ki' have decidedly thrown off the mask, that
they have distributed in all the islands very ur-
. gent proclamations, positively inviting the Greeks
to give themselves up to them. 'l'i►ey circulate
for this purpose a. kind of address, to be signed
by all the Anglo-Greeks. Botzari, Vice-Presi-
dent of the Government, and Captain Coloco-
troui, have already signed ;' but several other
chiefs, among whom are Maurocordato and Con-
duriotti, have not only refused to sign, but pro-
