FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, April 29. )

" BUCHAREST, APRIL 10.—Though a great deal has
been !aid of the advance of the Russian troops for the 13th,
and though it is even affirmed that the order for their de-
parture has been seen, fixing that day for their entrance
into the Principalities, it appears that on the Bth no prepa-
rations had been ohaerved in the Russian cantonments
which indicated that they would so soon depart : people,
indeed, pretend to know that 20,000 men will pass the
Pruth, and that the military operations will be confined for
the present to the occupation of the Principalities. These,
however, are but reports that require confirmation.—
Augsburgh Gazette.

" CORFU, APRIL 1.-Accounts deserving of credit say
that Varnachiotti Hisios, and other captains, have joined
the Greek corps at Dragomestre, which is very shortly to
advance towards Arta. Captains Eogos, C,olylidos, and
the Sturnaris, are also ready to join the Greeks as soon as
the latter approach their districts.

The following is presumed to he the plan of the expe-
chtion into Western Greece:—.

" The corps at Dragomestre, reinforced by another
which is expected from the Peloponnesu., will advance to
Cassanochario, where it will divide into three columns ; the
centre will occupy that place ; the right will extend
towards Gotista, and the left to Lakes. Small vessels are
prepared to enter the Gulf of Ambracia, and support the
left. It appears that Alissolonghi and Anatolie° are on the
point of surrendering to the Greeks. Prevesa and Arta
are net in a condition to make a long resistance. The Se-
a'askier is at Janina, where he is in want of money. The
inhabitants of that country are treated with humanity, and
no extraordinary tax is imposed on them. Orders have
been, indeed, given to make a general recruiting of all the
Christians in Rutnelil, but the reason is not known. Ibra-
him Pacha is at Modon, and his departure is still spoken
ef. Three envoys from the Sultan are expected at Egina,
who come to propose to the Greeks an armistice of three
snenths. It is supposed that Count Capo d'lstria will
refer them to the Allied Powers.

" An English ship of the line has arrived here with troops
from Portugal. A bomb-vessel of a new construction has
also arrived, with four howitzers and a large cannon in the
middle ; each piece is served by SO artillerymen. These
vessels, and others of the same kind, which are expected,
are said to be destined fur the Dardanelles.—Notizie del
Gionw.

" THLESTE, APRIL 16.—While the President is exerting
himself with so much activity for the happiness of Greece,
Ibrahim appears to have no other wish than to quit the
.iNforea, and return to his own country. It is said that all
the preparations have been made in the Egyptian army for
the embarkation, and the fortresses still held by the Egyp-
liana are to be delivered up to the Turkish troops. This
sitcurnstance gives reason to presume that the Pacha has
listened to the remonstrances of the Powers, and sent in
structions to his son.—Rid.

Pa Kis, APRIL 25.--The Nuremburg Correspondent
atfiruis, in an article dated from the banks of the Danube,
that the Russian troops, if they occupy the principalities,
will remain there in the position they take up till th..
Porte consents to fnlfil the treaty of Ackermann. No
flintier hostilities will be committed, unless that power
s'efuses to listen to the language of reason. Mean-
time the efforts of the Ambassadors at Constantinople
are still directed to the preservation of peace.
" The Florence Gazelle announces, under the head of
Malta, 4th April, that a Russian courier had suddenly
brought orders to Court !Leyden, to sail immediately for
the Archipelago, to act there conformably to his instruc-
tions ; but that he had not been able to depart immedi-
ately, because the Russian ships are still in need of repair.
-" Shocks of an earthquake were felt at Rome and
Fhirence in the night of the 10th of April. TLey were
inure violoit and of longer duration in the latter capital,
but without any had consequences. At Forli there were
18 shocks in :our days. The same phenomena terrified
the inhabitants a Ancona, Pesaro, and Sinigaglia."

CALAMITIES INCIDENT TO CORPULENCY.
—lt is upon record, that the fat of a French lady caught
tire. The Margravine of BA tutollir also notices a fat French
Princes; who melted after she Was embalmed. I have
since discovered in the chronicles ,7t enOWNI7II.% time,.
that these combustible materials in wererned to
good account in those days, and that a Womatli wk, klePt
a chandler's shop in Dublin, made all her best canno from
the fat of Englishmen, and when one of her customers can' •
plained of their not being so good as usual, she apologised
by saying, " Why, ma'am, I am sorry to inform vou that,
for this month past, I have been short of Englisi;usen."—

SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE.—Between six and
seven o'clock this morning, the following disgraceful scene
took place in Covent-garden :—Two, elderly men, appa-
rently in a state of intoxication, were followed wider the
Piazzas by between twenty and thirty young thieves, who
began to hustle them front one to another. Several other
yagatainds joined the crowd, and the two men were not
only ves.y ill treated, by being frequently thrown violently
on the pavement, but every person who passed ran the
same risk. Several of the market-carriers, of both sexes,
with heavy loads on their heads, were thrown down, and
the contents of their baskets scattered about. The pre-
sence of two or three street-keepers would have prevented
such scandalous proceedings. •
MURDER AT TULLOW.—We learn, with
great regret, that an itinerant musician, named APNExt,
has been murdered at Tallow, on the fair day. It would
seem, according to the account we have received, that the
poor man had been simultaneously called upon by two dif-
ferent companies in a public-house, for their respectively
favourite tunes—and that, while in the of indulging
one of the companies, he was brutally attacked by an in-
dividual of the other side, and literally strangled.—Carlow
JVlorning Post.
ANOTHER MURDER 1N TIPPERARY.—
KILLENAI'LE, APRIL 24.—1 am sorry to acquaint you,
that on Sunday night an aged man, of the oame of DAVID
CUNNINGHAM, was waylaid by nine men near Ifellenpark,
who beat him in so savage a manner, that Le survived but
till Tuesday. After beating him so cruelly, the perry'
threw him over a gate. An inquest has been held on the
body by Mr. T. L. BAKER, Coroner, arid a verdict of wil-
ful murder pronounced against some of the persons con-
cerned. The police have already apprehended some of
them. At the time of the attack,-there was ahoy in com-
pany with the deceased man, who made his escape-, and
knew the entire of the party—three of whom he identified,
and they were committed on an inquisition before Mr. T. L. 1
BAKER.--.• Clonmel Advertiser.

FURIOUS DRIVING.—Friday afternoon, at
four o'clock, as the Kingstown mail coach was proceeding
at a frightfully rapid rate through Brunswick-street, the
leaders corning in contact with a fine boy, about seven
years old, the son of a labourer, named BRADY, knocked
him flown, v, lien one of the wheels passed over his body.
On sorne passengers hastening towards the spot, the poor
little fellow raised himself without assistance, staggered
for a nuarnent—again fell—and expired in a few minutes
afterwards, while being borne to an apotheairy's shop close
by where the accident had happened.—gaturday evening
an inquest was held in the Board-room of College-stn et
Police-offici, before Alderman C. P. ARCHER, OW Df the
City Coroners, when, after a long investigation, a ver-
diet to the following effect was returned :-.—That the de-
ceased had come by his death in conseqtwace of two of the
coach-wheels having passed over him; the coachman,
JailFs Blismixonast, and Faarmls CRAJG, the guard,
not having used due precaution in the discharge of their
respective duties. The individuals above named were dis-
charged from custody, on the understanding that they ap-
pear this day to be exatoined by the Magistrates touching
this affair.—Dublin morning Post.

A POLIGENIAN SHOT,—COMMITTAL.—
Ten persons have been committed to the custody of the
Covernor of the county of Galway prison this day, for
wafnlly and maliciously firing at, and kiwn..,
ANDREW
KRIM, a Sub-Constable of Polk°, at a place :ailed Glana-
inadha, while in the execution of his duty. The prisoners
were escorted into town by a guard of the 34th Regiment
of Foot, aided by two Police Constables. Three of them
were conveyed on a car, in consequence of wounds received
on the night of the murder—one of them received
a gun-shot wound through the nose ; and the third, a
slight bayonet wound through the thigh. This un-
fortunate occurrence took place on last Sunday night.
We have inquired into the origin of this affair, and we find
that KERR, the deceased policeman, and his party, had been
on Sunday night on duty at Glanamadha, for the purpose
of levying a distress ; that perceiving light in the windows
of a house in the neighbourhood, they demanded admis-
sion three or four times, which was denied them; and that
the persons inside at length fired through the door, and
shot A. KERR through the heart.— Connaught Journal.
