The French Papers of Wednesday were re-
ceived this morning, but they contain nothing of
the slightest moment. The following extract,
however, gives a fuller and better account of the
Turco Egyptain fleet than has hitherto reached
ns, as it -enters more into detail, and shews us
from whence the vessels of which it is compos-
ed were obtained. The Journal -de Paris places
the cost of this expedition at the enormous sum
of fifty millions of piastres.—According to the
Journid des Debuts., the French Chambers will
meet for the dispatch of business. on the 25th of
January next.
We.find in these papers no remarks on the
state of the. French Funds, which, Nvere quoted

an advance of 40 in the latter. The following

" The day before yesterday we announced the disembarkation
at Navarino of part of the troops from Alexandria. We can
now give further details : The disembarkation of the troops
and munitions of war terminated on the 9th November. The
corps destined to reinforce the army of Ibrahim-Pacha imme-
diately commenced its march for Tripolitza, under the com-
mand of officers, who waited the arrival of the &eat Navarino.
The Ottoman Squadron' i; composed of the following
ships :

In the spiole 133 sail. But it is to be remarked that France is
not concerned in the expedition.
A part of this force is destined to operate against Alisso-
longhi, for the reduction of that place is considered cer-
tain at Constantinople for it will now be attacked both from
land and sea. Several private letters from the' lonian Islands
announce the arrival of one division of the Turco Egyptian
fleets at Navarino, and they add that another division had been
attacked by the Greek fleet off the island of Cerigo, but the re-
sult was not known.
Ibrahim Paella whose head quarters are at Tripolitza, scours
the Noma in different directions with his detachments, with a
view to maintain his communication, and to disperse the
bands of Moreotce, which have formed themselves anew. Cala-
mate is again besieged by the Mussulmans, as also is Leondari.
and other places of importance. Several detachments have
separated from Colocotroni, in consequence of the want of
money and provisions. The European Counsellors of the Porte
have persuaded the . Government to continue the campaign
through the winter, and It edschid Pacha has received orders to
employ every means to hasten the departure of the Albanians
and Etolians. When the Capitan Pacha has completed the
disembarkation of the troops in the Mores, he will sail for
the. Gulf of Lepanto, in order to undertake a new attack upon

We read in the Aristarque that the Chambers will be con-
voked for the 24th of January, and that the Archbishop of

Hamburgh Papers to the 13th December, re-
ceived this day, bring us dismal intelligence of
the damage done by the -stormy weather lately
experienced in different quarters of Europe. It
is said that at Copenhagen,
on the 26th and 27th
of November, the tide rose to an alarming height,
and destroyed almost all the repairs of the dikes
that have been made with great exertions
since the inundation of the 3d arid 4th
of February last ; and at Elsinore it reached
a point six iilhes higher than at that period.—
T he Glasgow frigate was obliged by the stormy

weather to put back to Eisinore. It is thought
that the batterie.s of Cronenburg have sustained
some injury. On the 28th October a dreadful
storm did great damage at Moscow. The roofs
of 90 public and private buildings, and
,of six
churches, were blown off; and in the Black Sea
three ships were stranded, one of which perished
with •the whole crew. The others were greatly
damaged, and the fate of two others is unknown.
The following are extracts ;

The new British Ambassador, Lord Strangford, arrived on
the Bth on board an English frigate at Cronstadt, and came
here on the 9th with a numerous and brilliant suite of diplo-
matic agents and English naval officers.

The Hague Courant of the 14th December
received this day, has long accounts of the pro-
ceedings of the Second Chamber of the States
General in debating on the Budget of 1826. In
this debate the establishment of the Philosophi-
cal College, which has excited so much uneasiness
in the Netherlands, was attacked with much
virulence, and pronounced by some of the mem-
bers as a violation of the Constitution. We sub-
join the following hriefaccount of these debates:—
In the Sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General,
the tLbate on the Budget for 11126, was commenced. In this
debate M. de Strassart said that he considered the Philosophical
Collarc as a proof of the generous and equitable sentiments of
the King. 3i r. Surmont de Volksberg he thougla the college an
institution which might excite disagreement, and which was not
called for by necessity or even by any advantage to be expected
from it. He thought it not good that the Ecclesiastical Superior..
had not the smallest influence in the nomination of the professors;
he conceived that it would be better to take measures to improve
the system of study in the seminaries. He hoped the King
would consider the objections made to the philosophical college,
and revoke the decree of 14th
M. Gerlache, in a speech an both- long, contended that this
college was an institution at variance with the manners and the
notions of the nation; that Church History and Canon Law were
very nearly connected with theohigical studies ; and therefore
belong to the seminaries, and should therefore not be included
among the sciences taught in the. Philosophical College. These
objections, however, do not hinder him or the preceding speak-
ers froth voting for the budget. 31. de Seeus thought the
College a violation of Art. 190, apd 191 of the Constitution,
;and for that and other reasons voted against the budget.

NAroLI DI RoZIANIA, OCT. 19.

The Greek Government, in its ;dam,. has sent to Athens
and to several islands to require troops, but no succour has yet
been sent to it. Admiral Allan is c,tti4ng, with about 70
sail, between Candia and Scarpantn. A letter front Santorin,
of 15th October, says—" About 35 creek ships lie at anchor
off' our island. waiting for the Turkish fleet from Alexandria.
We do not know .what they inten:l, Lut we feel that the crews
daily cane on shore, and plunder and lay waste the neighbour-
ing country."
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10.

The Porte having received official news that the fleet had
passed Ceriga under full sail for the Morta, hopes that Ibrahim
Paella, with the aid of the reinforcements it.. brings, will be
able to subdue the whole of the Peninsula,‘And therefore put an
end to the insurrection at once. A levy of 1,500 horses has
been ordered here by the Porte, which are. intended for the
