FRENCH PAPERS.

[From the Etoik of Sudday, 0d.17.1
OCT. 16.—A mass was celebrated to-
-slay in the chapel of the palace of the Tuileries,
for the repose of the soul of Marie Antoinette of
Austria, Queen of 'France. Their Royal High-
nesses the Dauphin and the Datiphiness, the
Duchess of Berry, the Duke of Bourbon, and the
Duke of .Orleans were present, -as well as the
~great Officers, and all the King's Household.—
The 'Exchange, the Museum, and the Theatres
are closed to-day.
Letters from Odessa of the 9..6th of September
contain news from Constantinople of the 19th.
At that time Lord Strangford had not quitted
that. capital. He seems-to be udder some embar-
rassment. The courier who brought him from
St. Petersburgh the official information of the ap-
pointment of the Marquis de Ribeaupierre to the
post of Ambassador at Constantinople, doubtless
delivered., to him other dispatches,•informing him
that the Ambassador will. not repair to his, post
tilt after the. entire conclusion of the negociations
between Russia, Austria, and England, on the
affairs of Greece.
This circumstance, added to.the sudden depo-
sition of the Grand Vizier, .and to •other events
passing in the East (the new invasion of the Per.
skins), iccalculated to render the situation of
Lord Sirangford, 'with respect to the Ottoman
Porte, very complicated and embarrassing.
The Augsburg Gazette of the• 11th, which
gives these accounts 'from Odessa, contains also
a letter from "rriestei in-which we find the fol-

lowing-statement :
• " According .to-accounts from Corfu of the 20th of Septem-
ber, which, it is true, require confirmation, the Egyptian fleet
has been attacked' by' Admiral Illiaulis •Zea, where it was
entleavouring to effect a landing destined against Athens. The.
Creeks .burnt three of the enemy's frigates, as well as some
smaller vesiiels, and captured besides 130 transports. The re-.
dispersed.
" It is reported that Ibrahim Paella, son of 'the Viceroy of
Egypt. was on board one of the frigates that were blown up.
The- same trews has teen received at Zante,• with some
modifications. It is, however; desirable to wait for mote pre-
cise information."
" A decree of theiCing of Spain, just• published in Cate-
!min, orders the universities of thehingdom to be closed, till a
general plan of public instruction, which a special committee
has been ordered to draw up and lay before him, shill have re-
ceived his approbation:"
There was no Exclianc,,e on'Saturdny, on ac-
count of the 'solemn observation of the-anniver-
sary of the death-of Marie:Antoinette.

Ofalia, the ex-minister, who lied ...obtained permission to live at
Grenada; having asked for a passport for a foreign country,
was immediately confined at Almeira. .In spite of all his re-
monstrances, bo was obliged to, obey, and at half, a league
from the town'a party of Itoyalistleolunteers forced him- to get
out of his carriage, and insulted him till he reached' the city:

tion. ,The fanatics have as mubh aversion to him, and having
been reasonable for a few moments, has made them regard
him as an enemy of the Royalists. In the late arrests of Ge-
nerallSaint•lllarq, d'Elisatle, de Merlo, de Erro,..and other
persona, the warrant ordered not only that all their papers
should be seized, but particulavly every. species 'of ring,
watchi•Case, seals, 'nil brooches.`. These jewels, it :appears,
• are somewhat different from those adopted in the Apostolic
Junta. Persecution is going on still, and in a short time one
half of nation will be abut up in prisons, and the other
half slaves. A new Decree is cepected, to compel all those
soldiers and civilians who were in: the Constitutional service,
and are notpurfficd to leave Madrid. M. Vgarte still con-
tinues to direct-the machine of state, though his influence is•
balanced in some measures by M;Qloinarde, the head ot,rhe
fanatic party, who threatens to displace the other favourite.
In a sew days 2,000 men, on board• two ships of.war and some
transports, will sail from CorunnEfor the Havannah. It is
wished o send a second expedition to Mexico and .•a third
to Peru, but no preparations are 'made sufficient to realize
each a project. -Letters from the Havannah say, that Don
Uaspar Itethiguex, Lieutenant of :the American Dragoons,,
had endeavoured to excite a revolutionary movement at Ma-
tanzas, hut the insurrection was immediately suppressed.
