FRENCH PAPERS.

[From the Dolls, dated Meuday, Oct. M.]
VispitcE, Our. 4.—There is no longer any doubt,
that the fleet of the Viceroy of Egypt has been
so roughly handled, that it can no longer keep the
sea before the Greeks, who have burnt a Itasee,
two frigates, nine corvettes, and five brigs; and
taken three corvettes, • six brigs, forty gun-boats
and fifty transports, belonging to.different nations.
The remainder have been dispersed, and put to
Dight. It is added, but this needs confirmation,
Oat -on - the 15th of September, the Greeks
broil& into Napoli de Romania a frigate, on
board which were the treasuresnf the army of
'lllehmet Ali, and his son Ibrahim.
.Besides this, the end of the disasters of the
Captain Paella is announced, who has died of
grief. ;The fate of the campaign for this year is
determined.
The official part of the lifoniteur contains only
some notices from the department of the Minister
of Jaitice, and the non-official part has nothing

TstusTE, .'4.—Several vessels 'coming
from the 'Archipelago have fully confirmed the
.• news of the Gieek victory on the waters between
''Cos and. Rhodes, and the total defeat of the
Sryptian fleet. by .Admirat-.Miaulis. After re-
maining a long time in Rhodes harbour, the son
of the Viceroy, of. Egypt, ibrsaltim Pacha„ pro.
eeeded towards the Gulf of Macry, opposite
this island. '''Be 'afterwards- proceeded to affect
his junction with. the Captain Pacha, who had
retired after his disaster at Samos to Bedroun, in
the Gulf of Stance. Admiral Miaulis, who had
long watched the movements of the Egyptian
• fleet, • having - been reinforced by the Greek
squadron from'Samos, attacked the two Turkish
fleets on the-sth Sept. off Cos. The battle lasted
nearly seven hours ; several Egyptian vessels
.were.hurned,•and some' transports sunk with the
troops they had on board. The Captain Pacha
lost the Rada hey (Vice-Admiral) and two
other vessels. The rest of the Egyptian fleet was
pursued by the Greeks • in the direction of Alex-
andria ;—some transports which were overtaken
in the Bay of Rhodes- were destroyed ; a small
number of Egyptian vessels being . cut off from,
the test, took refuge in the- harbour of Suda, in
the Island of. Candia. Nearly a fourth part of
the troops of Mehemed Ali Pacha, ,with which
he threatened to invade the Peloponnesus, pe-
rished in the flames or in the waves. Before this,
another portion had been the ~prey.-of a conta-
gious disorder which had broken out in the
Egyptian -fleet. After this second defeat the
- Captain -Paella ran off, sad took refuge in the
harbour of Olivier, in the island of Mitylene,The

Went after him; ••his squadron 'was • seen in the
jueighbourhood of Scio. By such disasters the
Turks have brought the fourth campaign to • a
close. The grand r fleet of Constantinople, the
Egyptian fleet, the numerous army of Edielle
Neuve, the disciplined troops of the Viceroy of
Egypt have all disappeared, and vat-IV-shed before
the Greeks. .-Victorious both by sea and land„

ZANTE; &Err. 17.-t.the opening of the campaign, which
in its progress is so advantageous for the Greeks, their enemies
prophesied that the year 11123 was to he the last of their liberty
sad their existence. Some individuals who came to assist
them, forsook the cause to serve under the banners of the Bar.
Warms, where they found good pay, and it is .well known that
'the pretended sacred battalion of. the Bidaasoa had mostly en.
tared the service of the Viceroy of Egypt. Lord -Byron, who
- appeared on our shores like the rainbow after tire -storm, died,
• awl fur companion Leycester Stanhope was far from answering
'to the idea which had been formed of his talents and his de-
votedness. It was not long before it was remarked that the
Noble Colonel who endeavoured to establish. schools sought to
• .obtain the direction of them, and lost that time in theory which
he ought to have employed in cuntibuting means to support
Aire campaign. It was on this occasion that the misunderstand-
ing arose between the Ilellenian Government, Colocotroni and
the l)cllianee of Caretenia, arid they only breathed freely after
-tht, departure of Colonel Stanhope for London, where he op.
posed the payment of the loan opened in that capital. In the
4nid:a of these circumstances the campaign began.
SEPT. 18.—Tun o'clock in the morning.—News just arrived
,from the Oulph of Lepanto. (keneral Sir Frederick Adam,
• wishing to clear up the misunderst4nding relative to the sea-
sure which ho had induced against the Greek:,fleet, in reprisal
for the proceedings ordered by the Greek Government, is just
•gone himself to Nonplus. Ire is disposed to do justice to the
-nobleness of the flellenians. We are assured that ha•will be
.received with honour, and we hope that this disagreeabletnis-
t.inderstanding_ will be cleared up to the common advantage of
both states. Petro Bey and Colccotroni are on good terms with
the Government, who has permitted the former to reside at
Argos for the recovery of his health. Old Varvaki, a native of
Ipisra,l3o years of age, has arrived here from Tajanrock with
.411 his property, which he has devoted, with the remainder of
~bialife, to the defence of his country.

Paola, OCT. 115.—The merchants of •Atnster-
dam have received the following information,
which seems to us of great importance, at the
.• moment When the English Journals are tilled
with discussions on the propriety of the men.
sures adopted by the. Lord 'High Commissioner
of the lonian Islands:—
" An English brig arrived at Napoli di Romania from Lon-
. ' don, has brought a Declaration of the English Government to
the Provisional Gov:.-rnment of Greece, that the latter must re.
voice, in 24 hours, its Proclamation relating to the capture or
destruction of European vessels loaded with ammunition for
the Turks. If this Otivanment refuses, the brig has orders to
infimn the British Naval Comminders, that every English
merchant vessel which is- carrying stores for the Turks must be
taken under convoy. It is evident that this is a Supplement
to the Order to detain all Greek vessels, contained in the' Pro.
' elarnation-of the Lord High Commissioner."
Such a regulation can only add to the indig-
nation excited by the Proclamation of the Lord
High Commissioner. • The English do • not con-
• tent themselves with repressing by force a melt-
' sure whichlhey think contrary to the laws of
nations, but they openly declare themselves the
allies of the Turks,.and support with their navy
the vessels which violate thu neutrality. In the
'Proclamation of the Lord- High Commissioners,
glue only sees the abuse of-power for if the Greek
• Proclamation contained an infringement of the
:laws of -.nations, the revocation of this in-
fringement.might have been asked, and undoubt-
edly it would have been obtained ; but it was
thought right to demand the revocation of the
whole Proclamation ;. that is to say, to in-
. ifrdict a governMeot from &ter), means of •repres-
eion against thoSe .who: violate neutrality with
,pegard to it, and because this government refuses
. 'it is thought right to make war against the Greeks.
