FRENCH PAPERS.

( Franz the Etcile dated Tuesday.)
VIEN)M, JAN. 22.
The Austrian Observer has the following
article :

Constantinople,- Jan. 4.

" On the sth December the Egyptian fleet, with its trans-
ports, quitted the Bay
of marrnarissa, and sailed to Candia.—
According to the most recent information, it is at anchor in the
Bay of Suda, and seems not to have given up the plan of a ,
landiPg in the-Morea. As for the Greek squadron, they-have
returned to their ports.
" The Peloponnesus is' the theatre of the• most Violent dis-
order. The mn-nber of men who perished in the battle in _which
young Colocotroni was killed is stated at -1,000. The Chief,
S',:e.w.o, has been conducted to Napoli di Romania, with 60
other -prisoners ; but the-war has only assumed a more invete-
rate character. The partisans of Colocot:oni besiege_Tripolitza.
`roe Government has sent for Goura, Commander at Athens,
?Ad who is more dreaded than a Pacha would be. He was on
the point of attacking Negropont, and has orders to repair to
to keep the discontented. in order. The blockade of
Petra is raised, both by sea and land.
" The President Conduriottis has retired to Hydra with his
; he has there addressed a pathetic proclamation to the
dreeks, to exhort them to unite against the enemies of the
Christian name. Another member of the Executive Council,
Ataimaki Fotillas, has suddenly disappeared. Proceedings are
going to be instituted against him, because his absence renders'
the acts signed by his two other colleagues null and void. We
hear that he has returned to Napoli.
The Gazettes of Hydra of the 3d-and 6th Decerriber exhort
Colocotroni to prevent his certain destruction by a speedy sub-
mission. It seems
,from these papers, that the malcontents
have employed, in fomenting civil war, the sums that had
been remitted to them for the siege of Petra& The Govern-
ment, however, is at present taking the most energetic mea-
sures to stifle all the seeds of rebellion.*
" Theodore Negri died at Argos on the 4th December. 'He
-was a venerable man in many respects. At the beginning of
the revolution the Porte desired to send him to Pasis on a di..
plernatic mission, but he stopped in the 3lorea tojoin the
Greeks."

TUNIS, Drc.cl9.
One of those horrible scenes and acts of cruelty, sanctioned
by the Supreme Authority, which have not been seen in
Turkey for a long time, has just 'Tossed-here.
A young Jew. merchant, inflamed by liquor., met in a public
walk a very aged Moorish woman., who was In a state like his
awn. 'lle addressed a few words to her, which at the most called
.1.9 r a •reprimand. The Moors who perceived it arrested both
hint and the woman.
The affair was brought before the Bey, who, disregarding
the difference of age, the place—which did not even allow the
passibility of the crime charged in the accusation—and with
the conviction of the innocence of the two prisoners, pronounced
the sentence of death on them both. The Jew, according to
the barbarous usage of the country, as being of the most de•
spised nation, was to be burnt alive, and his ashes to be cast
in the lake, and the woman to be drowned.
The`Jew thought to obtain his pardon by professing the Mus.
sulman faith, but he only had a commutation of --the capital
'punishment. He was cut to pieces by the ferocious populace,
to whom he was given up, and his property confiscated, though
he hag left. a wife and children.
Lately there were some fears of the return of the plague,
-which was happily not confirmed.
The American frigate Constitution, and the Ontario brie,
cast anchor here a few days ago. They brought Mr. Coxe, the
new American Consul-General, who filled that office fifteen
years ago.
They Bey has just resolved to diminish the value of the cur-
resit coin, to prevent the exportation of it. It is said that the
value will be reduced one-eighth.
( Front the Journal des Debats of Monday.]
MADRID, JAN. 20.

The. note in which the English diplomatic agent an-
nounces to our Government that England acknowledges the in-
dependence of the three American States, was communicated
she day before yesterday, to the Extraordinary Council of Mi-
nisters, to the Charge d'Affairs of France, and to the Mini-
sters of the Northern Powers. This note has spread alarm in
the minds of all. Even the most prejudiced now look upon the
Eris of Amerita as certain, and as more than probable a rupture
,:etween some of the Holy Alliance. At most, this declaration
of England is nothing more than the natural consequence of
the faults committed by our Minister and Government for the
last eighteen months. What still more augments our inquie-
tUde is, that notwithstanding what has been said of the arrival
i•t Peru of the ship St. Franlois d' Assises, and of the brig
Achille, which sailed from Cadiz on the 13th January last year,
the Government has not yet received the official news of their
arrival in the Pacific.

[From the Courier Francais.]
PA IL: S., JAM. 30.

..The English Journals announce that the British army is
going to be augmented, and the Ministerial Journal, the Courier,
tepresses -itself with regard to the Cabinets of the Continent,
in a irm and resolute tone, which shows that the English Go-
vernment does not much fear their discontent, and that it is
quite ready to stand the consequence. What could the I
P.ciiy Alliance do against England, and what good would it get
by a war? On what point is there preparation to attack England ?
(in w!-:at point is not England ready to rebut every attack, and to
s;t with advantage? She has squadrons in all seas, and at the end
oi. three months' war, not one of the Powers who should fight her
would have a single ship floating on the sea. The English Go-
vernment would be upheld in such. a war by the opinion of the
nation : would the Governments of the Holy Alliance find
the same support in the people of the Continent, whose interests,
svhose wishes would be with the cause which England would
maintain ? Russia herself, with her million of men, her mi-
litary colonies, her sunken fleet, and her flooded capital, can
abe undertake any thing against England, that long-lived
Power, which is proof against a hurricane as well as a
Coalition ? In this state of things, is war probable—is it
paSsible ? Without doubt England will be cursed—will be
bated—will, in an under tone, be threatened, but she will not
be attacked. It is affirmed that the instructions of Prince
ks;;olliOnski are not at all hostile ; that Russia does not wish
fur war, and that she feels all the advantages of • immobility,
of the European state quo, by means of which so many ancient
aliases have been so conveniently revived, and so many new
ameliorations destroyed. IVithout doubt, the honour of prin-
ciple, and, severity of tenets, would call for a war; butiprin-
cj?les and tenets are rigorously invoked and followed by Cabi-
nets, when they agree with. their interest and safety.; as soon as
that agreement ceases, interest and safety take the upper hand.
