FRENCH PAPERS.

( Front the Etoik, dated Sunday, Sept. 18.)
VIENNA, SEPT. B.—The Austrian Observer
contains the following news :
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 2.3.—(8y Express.)
—lbrahim Pacha has fixed his head-quarters at
Tripolizza ; the_ main body of his army is con-
centrated near that town, which is the basis of his
operations. Setting out from this point, the
Egyptian Commander has undertaken several ex-
peditions in all directions ; several of the enemy's
corps under Colocotroni, Ypsilanti, and other
chiefs, which attempted to disturb his canton-
ments, or which threatened his communications,
have !;een constantly repulsed with more or less
considerable, loss. The most serious actions since
the pretended battle of Tripolizza (July 5) were
fought on the 20th and 21st July, to the south-
east of Tripolizza, on the road from that town to
Mistra.*
The report of the death
.of Ypsilanti, which
was spread before the departure of the last cou-
rier is not confirmed. It seems to have been
caused by the death of two other Greek Chiefs,
George Gika and Polichroni, who were killed in
these engagements. According to the assurance
of a witness, Demetrius, and one of the sons of
Colocotroni (probably the one who is known by
the name of Genneos), had arrived at Napoli di
Romania, as fugitives, and not as conquerors.
Several thousand fugitives from the interior of
the country are encamped in barracks before the
gates of that town. Wretchedness, want of pro-
visions,,tnd a fatal epidemic, daily carry off num-
bers of those unhappy people. All the fugitives
from the Morea who arrive in Cerigo, one of the
lonian Islands, are obliged to go to Calasmo, a
small Island belonging to the lonian territory,
which is hardly capable of containing so great a
number.
After several fruitless attempts, the Captain
Pacha had succeeded, on the 21st July, in pene-
trating, with small boats, into the Lagouns before
Missolonghi. On_ the same day the Fort of
Anatolico, an island to the North of Missoloughi;
surrendered to the Turks. The garrison of 300
men are prisoners of war ; the inhabitants, to the
number of 1500, received entire liberty to retire
without obstacle into the interior of the country.
The Seraskier, Redschid Pacha, has already suc-
ceeded in cutting off the water of Missolonghi,
and in erecting several batteries at a small dis-
tance from the main works of the place. The
ramparts have been already much injured by the
fire of the besiegers, a part of the ditches was
already filled up, and several attacks had already
Leer attempted against the fortress, when, in the
beginning of August, the Greek fleet, of nearly
60 sail, including fire ships, appeared at the en-
trance of the Gulf of Patras, and revived the
courage of the besieged, who, by the confession
of their enemies themselves, had valiantly de-
fended themselves against all their attacks, and
the more so as the Captain Pacha, according to
news from Zante of 10th August, seems to hare
quitted the vicinity of Missolonghi, on the ap-
,pearance of the Greek fleet, so that the blockade
of the place on the sea side is raised.
SEPT. 17.—1 t is thought that the King
will return to Paris on the 3d October, and that
his :ilajesty will go arid pass a few days at Corn-
peigne. All the Court, it is said, will return to
Paris by the Bth October.
The Viscount de Narbonne has died in his
hotel at Paris. The Comte died after three
days' illness.

"Lima, March 16, 1825.
• " MIC DhAti. SLIP—T have the honour to receive your very
.flattering letter from Baltimore' the answer of which was di.
rected to the .United States of America by a circuitous. route,
which would considerably delay your receipt of it. I have now
the greatest pleasure in learning, by your favour from Caraccas,
the determination you have formed of residing amongst us,
' with the laudable objects of disseminating, and bringing to per-
'. fection, the Lantasterian system of education, which has done,
and will continue to do, essential service in promoting the cul-
tivation of the human intellect—a wonderful work, which we
owe to the singular genius of the man who had the goodness to
devote hiniself to the instruction of my young fellow-citizens!
~ You seem to think assistance necessary to the realization of
your beneficent, intentions; I therefore hasten to offer you
twenty thouiand dollars, to be employed in advancing the edu-
cation of the children of Caraccas. These twenty thousand
• dollars will lie paid to you in. London by the agents of Peru,
on whom you may draw for this sum in three or four months.
The said agents have orders to pay the amount to whoever you
may direct to receive it. In case it should not be your wish to
employ the-ehtire sum in London, you may easily cause the
• remainder of it to be transmitted to Caraccas. I have further
. to add, that I will with . pleasure advance you a larger. sum
with the like view, should you think that it can be usefully
• employed: To enable me to comply with this ofler, be pleased
-to communicate to me your opinion in such terms as you may
think fit. The Government of Peru has been to me most gene-
rous in a thousand ways, and has moreover placed at my dis-
. ~..posal a million. of dollars for the service of the Colombians.
Public education will receive my first attention in the distribu-
tion of this.sum.' For this reason it is no inconvenience to me
to promote the advancement of those establishments for educa-
tion which are under the direction-of your fine genius. Receive
..he expression of my admiration, 'my respect, and my grati-
tude, for; the preference you have given to my native country,
e.iy establishing yourself therein.
.1 am your most affectionate
and attentive servant, BOLIVAR."
