FRENCII PAPERS.

( From the Etaik.)

PARIS, Dec. 7.—The French troops left Ma-
drid on the Ist December; one brigade only
remains, with a Swiss regiment and a French
regiment, which waits for the arrival of the 2d
S v‘iss regiment from Bayonne. It seems certain
the grand head-quarters will arrive at Vittoria
on the 20th and 21st. The 13th regiment of the
Line, which remains at Madrid, as above stated,
till the Swiss regiment arrives, will be at Vittoria
on the Ist of January. Several convoys have
passed Tolosa on their return to France. Four
regiments return to France by Perthus.
The Eloile gives the following list of regi-
meets that sill return :-3d Hussars, 376 men ;
Ist Light Infantry, 1,057 men; 11th Line, 1,186
mill; 40th ditto, 1,000 men ; Depot ditto, 400
These two regiments will form part of the
reserve under general Baron Rotten, command-
ing the division of the Eastern Pyrenees. The
19th Light Infantry leaves a battalion at Seu
d'Urgel; the remainder is to garrison Mount
Louis. The 10th Light Infantry,2d of the Line,
3d of the Line (numbers not stated). By this
arrangement, the sth, 11th, 31st, and 40th of the
Line, and 19th Light Infantry, will remain in
the division of the Eastern Pyrenees, the com-
mand of which, it seems, will extend as far as
the Seu d'Urgel.
Pursuant to the Ordinance of December 1, the
Lieut.-Generals whose names follow are put on
the retired list :—MM. Grouchy, Vandatnme,
Yodel, GtiZall, Oman°, Lubervic, Bigarre Drouot,

BARCELONA, Nov. 27.—The brig of war Jo-
eintha, and the galliot Andalusia, have left Cadiz
'to proceed to the Mediterranean. Letters from
that port announce that the Government has sent
these two ships to sea, in consequence of having
received intelligence that the Constitutionalists
are preparing against the Peninsula a powerful
expedition at Tangiers in Africa.
VIENNA, Nov. 25.--(Extract of a Private
Letter.)—The negotiations of which this capital
has so often been the theatre within the last ten
years, are renewed herc with fresh activity.—
Couriers arrive in great numbers from the prin-

cipal cities in lurC;pe. The State Chancellery
is very much occupied, and sends off dis-
patches dully to foreign Ministers ; frequent
conferences take
,place between Prince Met-
ternich and the. Ambassadors of other great
Powers. ft is remarked that they follow each
other in quick sUqession, particularly with the
English Ambassador, Sir henry ‘Vellesley, from
which it is presumed that the principal negocia.
tions now going forward relate to Greece and
Turkey. It is known that the Emperor
of Russia, before his departure for the east-
ern part of his empire, addressed a Memorial
to the four grout Courts of Europe, to com-
municate to them his views respecting the
pacification of Greece. He proposed, at the
same time, that during this winter conferences on
the subject should be held. It is said that these
conferences nil! take place the beginning of next
year'; but it seems that the Cabinets of Austria
and England intend to discuss this subject, in the
first instance, between themselves, in order that

their Ambassadors should act in concert in the
conferences which are about to be opened. It
will be very difiltult to induce our Cabinet to re-
cognize the independence of Greece ; and it is
generally believed that in granting certain immu-
nities to the Greeks, Prince Metternich strictly
adheres to his favourite system of tint admitting.
• any change in the actual state of Tut key. He is
perhaps the most formidable adversary whom the
- Greeks have to encounter at this moment. They
moreover say, that within the last few days the
„conferences on the affairs of Turkey, which were
to have taken place at St. Petersburg'', will be
held at Vienna, which is regarded as a demi-
victory achieved by Prince Metternich,

The French Papers of Tuesday describe an
accident which happened at Corunna on the 15111
ult., and which has plunged in sorrow the French
garrison of that town. A detachment of the 47th
Regiment, consisting of men, under the com-
mand of a Lieutenant, was ordered to proceed to
the Castle of San Antonio, in the bay. They
embarked at nine in the morning, with five sol-
diers of another regiment, in a boat belonging to
th. garrison, which was maimed by four Spanish
Monks. The boat was so crowded, that the sol-
diers were obliged to stand up during the pass-
age, with their knapsacks on their backs, and
their arms in their hadds. In passing between
two rocks this frail boat was upset, and all its
passengers plunged into the waves. The soldiers,
unable to swim from the weight of their accou-
trements, could not gain the rocks or the shore,
though near. The accident was seen from the
garrison, and boats were immediately sent out to
rescue its victims from a watery grave. The ho.
dies of all were recovered, but in 17 of them life
had been irrrecoverably extinguished.

Last evening, about seven o'clock, the cry of
niurder was heard to proceed from a hackney-
chariot. passing along Oxford-street. Several
ptirsons followed, and called upon the coachman
to stop his horses, which he did immediately, and
on the door being opened, a young lady, appu•
rently shout 17, informed the persons present,
in great agitation, that the youth who accom-
panied her had attempted to cut his throat with
penknife, in consequence of some angry words
having passed between them; that she seized his
arm, and fortunately prevented the rash act, by
n hich her hand was much lacerated. Two gen-
tlemen, at the lady's request, proceeded home
with them, which we understand was in Baker-
stkeet, Portman-square.
