FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Etoile, dated Sunday, Oct. 23.)
" GENoA, OCT. 15.
The Austrian Observer is silent respecting the affairs of
Greece; this is a good sign for the defenders of the cross ; but
let it take care what it is about. There is another Observer
(that of Triesiel, which gives us great news : we shall repeat
them, though persuaded that next week the Austrian Observer
will tell us they are all fables and falsehoods, because there is
nothing true but what is said by itself—the source of truth, and
model of impartiality.
We read the following in the Trieste Paper of the sth of
October :

Accounts by sea, and letters from the lonian Islands, fill
our city with news. It is said that Ibrahim having abandoned
rripolizza, was going to collect his whole force. It is said that
•IbrahitN, having killed the Paella of CAndia, had himself been
oy the nephew of that Paella. It is said that the island of
Pore, opposite Hydra, in the Gulf of Athens, has been ceded
by the Greeks to the Americans, who are going to fortify it.
It is said that an English squadron of several sail has been
seen steering from Malta towards the Morea. It is said more
positively than ever, that the plague rages more than ever at
Modon. Lastly, it is said that the Greeks have just received
1,1100,000 piasters from London."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED OFF CEPHALONIA,

SEPTEMBER 17.

" We yesterday left Cephalonia for England,
and I shall give you a short summary of the state
of affairs in Greece at the moment of my depar-
ture. North of the Isthmus hostilities had entirely
eeased in Western Greece. On the retreat of
the Turkish squadron from the Gulf of Lepanto,
in the latter end of August, the land forces de-
prived of their assistance, carried on the siege of
llissolonglii with but little spirit ; and as the
town was well provisioned immediately, it dis-
regarded their efforts. However, on the com-
mencement of the rains in September, the Ron.
mili Valici withdrew his troops entirely, and on
the oth or 10th instant retired from before the
town in the direction of Arta, so that Miss°.
longhi, after this her third successful de-
fence, may consider herself impregnable, at least
to the Sultan's forces. The plans of Ibrahim
Paella seemed to have been concerted in conjunc-
tion with those of the commander of the Turkish
forces in the North, or at least his final move-
ments to have depended on his successes ; for im-
mediately on the failure of the Ottoman fleet in
the Gulf, he too commenced retiring from Trip°.
lizza, though he had received his fresh reinforce-
ments, and withdrew with all his troops to Kale-
mata, his former head-quarters at Modon being
infected with a contagion with many symptoms of
_plague. Here he still remains, whilst the Egyp-
tian squadron is still at Alexandria, but is shortly
expected on its return with stores and fresh
troops ; to intercept which, and follow the
Turks, who have steered, it. is said, for
Rhodes, the Greek fleet has again sailed
southward ; but no news of their move-
ments has as yet I.rrived. In Candia a new
-insurrection has commenced, the Greeks having'
seized on the fortress of Gambousa, at the north.
of the island, which is of importance, as well
from its strength as from its possessing a capital
larltour. Immediately on this intelligence reach-)

ing Napoli di Romania, a few troops and some
vessels were sent to their assistance, the former
of whom are in possession of the fortress, whilst
the ships are crnising before it. A Candiot
Pacha, in Ibrahim Pacha's army, having heard
of this, and being anxious to return for the pro-
tection of his property, was forcibly detained
by Ibrahim ; and on his proving refractory, was
put to death, it is said, by the Pacha's own hand.
At Napoli di Romani faction seems to have been
lulled for the moment, and all, though most
anxious for foreign interference or aid, look un-
animously towards Great Britain. The organi-
zation of the regular troops goes on with spirit,
1,200 being a present enrolled, and the num-
ber daily increasing. The campaign may
now be considered closed, or at least verg-
ing on its termination. Colocotroni is again
collecting his army, and has left Napoli di Ro-
mania for that purpose, but nothing of import.
ance will occur, as I think, at present, the win-
ter preventing the operation of the Arabs and the
movements of the fleet, and the Greeks too
anxiously looking for foreign aid to take any
active steps themselves ; but all speak, as usual,
with great hopes for the coming campaign, when
their navy will have its frigates and steam-boats
I—they their tactics and bayonets."
