THE FRENCH FLEET.

ATHENS, SEPT. 30.—The French fleet is still at
Nauplia, though it is daily expected to anchor in
Salamis Bay. As much has been said about its force,
I have been at some trouble to obtain it, and the follow-
ing was given me by one of the officers :
Montebello, three•decker, Rear-Admiral Lasusse.
Triton • - - 86 guns, Rear-Admiral Hugon.
Le Santi Petri, 86
L'Alger - - 86
Le Neptune - 86
Le Jupiter - 86

Le Diadcme -
Le Suffren - 90
Steamer Lavoisier.
Goelette La Messange.
They expect, however, to be joined by four other
line of battle ships. On inquiring how it was they
came here when the last squadron had been so ill-treated,
he replied, they had positive orders to keep as far as
possible from the English fleet, until it was settled
whether war or peace should be the order of the day ;
and they cannot well go to Smyrna, it being a Turkish
port. The Lavoi.aicr sailed from Nauplia with despatches
for Toulon ; should, however, there be no fear of war
fcr the winter, one-half of the French vessels, it is said,
will be snot to Nauplia, and the remainder will remain
is Salamis-bay.
