FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France of Jan. 9.)

CORFU, DEC. 26.—Lord Cochrane has been, for
some time past, with the Hellas frigate and some
other Greek vessels, off the coast of Mains, where
he pursues the pirates. He lately sunk the schooner
of the famous Kututzi, and took seven of the crew
prisoners, the rest having escaped by swimming.—
Another piratical schooner, ofl6guns, has succeeded
in escaping him by its superior sailing, but it is hoped
that it will not be able to escape from two French
vessels which are pursuing it. On the 22d he res-
cued a Dutch ship from the hands of a Mainote
pirate. Two of the robbers, supposed to be lonian
subjects, have been sent to the Authorities at Zante,
to be punished.
The pirates of Carabusa having captured two
vessels sent by the American Philhellenists, which
were bound for Napoli di Romania, an American
frigate stationed in the Archipelago has been to Ca-
rabusa, burnt seven piratical vessels, and hung upon
the spot the whole crew, consisting of 15 men.
At Navarin, Modon, and Coron, the Franks and
Greeks lived in the most perfect security. Three
Turks who had killed a Greek have been shot by
Ibrahim's order.

We have news from Malta of the 14th. Many
ships of war were at anchor there. Besides th e
English ships, Asia, Albion, Genoa, Talbot, lifus-
quito, Philomel, Racer, and Hind, and the French
ship of the line Breslau, there were in the port of
La Valette the following Russian vessels, which ar-
rived there on the Bth : the Aze; Hargudd, Eze-
kiel, and Alexander Newsky, of the line; the Pro-
vornoy, and Castor frigates, and the Gremiastochy
corvette. All these vessels were admitted to pra-
tique on the 9th; their time of quarantine was re-
duced to 16 days ; and it has besides been reckoned
from the 25th of October, the day on which they
had last communication with Navarin. This favour
has been granted them that they may be able more
speedily to repair their damage, and land their woun-
ded.—Austrian Observer.

FRANKFORT, JAN. 4.—The Marquis de Barbacena
Chamberlain of the Emperor of Brazil, who, when
he was known by the name of General Brant, nego-
ciated, in the year 1824, the Brazilian Loan in Lon-
don, has arrived here on his way to Vienna, and
thence to Turin, where he is to marry, by proxy, a
young Princess of Sardinia, who is destined to
ascend the Throne of Brazil. The marriage has
already been contracted by the intervention of the
Emperor of Austria, father of the late Empress of
Brazil, the proposals made, in the first instance, to a
Princess of Bavaria, not having led to a final result.
The new Empress will sail in the spring for Rio de
Janeiro, on board a ship of the line, which will be
sent to Europe to fetch her. Great preparations for
her reception are. already making at the Palace in
this city, ansi the country seat of St. Christopher.
The Marquis de Faubathe, Charge d'Affaires of
Brazil at the Court of Naples, will also accompany
the new Empress, as well as several Brazilians of
distinction, who are now in Europe.
The Marchioness de Santos will quit Rio de
Janeiro before the .arrival of the Empress, and will
go to the province of St. Paul, where she was born.
This is one of the conditions of the new marriage,
the Empress having formally declined the services
of this First Lady of the Palace. The Marquis de
Barbacena is accompanied by only one Aid-de-Camp,
whom he brought with him from Brazil.
BANKS OF TIIE VISTULA, DEC. 27.—The Polish
array, composed of 40,000 old troops, has just corn-'
menced its march to join the great Russian army.
The Staff of General Rautenstranch has already set
out, and the vanguard, formed of four regiments of
Lancers, under the command of his Royal Highness
Prince Adam of Wirtemberg, and the brigade of
General Count KraltOwreki. Their vanguard will
be formed of a divisio❑ of infantry, under General
Count:Stanislaus Potocki, and of a division of
cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant-General Weis-
seilhoff. The corps de reserve, with which is the
park of Artillery, will be commanded by .Lieutenant-
General Count Kraswiski.

It is thought that the Polish army will be sta-
tioned along the frontiers of Galicia and the Buko-
wina, as fir as the fortress of Motzens, where it

will wait for the plan of its military operations.-

PARIS, JAN. 7.—Yesterday evening their Excel-
lencies Count Portalis, Minister of the Interior,
and the Count de Chabrol, transacted business with

the King, as did M. de St. Cricq, Minister of Com-
merce, this day, after Mass.
We have already received letters from the depart-
ments near Paris, giving us an account of the joy
that had been manifested at the appearance of the
Royal Ordinance, dismissing the old Ministry.
The French frigate La Fiore, from Brest, and
destined for Algiers, arrived at Toulon on the 31st
December.

(From the Constitutionnel.)
PARIS, JAN. 7.—A letter from Corte, of the 14th
December, gives some account of the candidates for
the deputation of Corsica. The Count de Rivarola,
formerly Deputy, and M. Pozzo di Borgo, Receiver-
General, were the Ministerial candidates. The
Constitutional party preferred M. Olivetto, Coun-
sellor of the Royal Court of Bastia, and the Viscount
Sebastiani, General of Brigade. Among the em-
ployes of the Government several laid claim to rights
against which the electors had loudly exclaimed;
but, unfortunately, out of the thirty-one electors of
Corsica there are five public functionaries, and,
although the titles of several among them are, it is
said, doubtful at least, no one dared to question the
legality of their using them, remembering the Ad-
ministration of which they are the proteges.
GENEVA, JAN. Eynard has sent us the fol-
lowing letter, which we hasten to publish :
" Geneva, Jan. 2, 1828.

" Gentlemen—The Greeks, and all the friends of the
Greeks, being impatient to know of the departure of Count
Capo d'lstria, I hasten to transmit you the copy of the let-
ter that I haVe just received from that es cellent man.
" E. EYNARD."
" Ancona, Dec. 26.

"I have received, my dear Eynard, your letter of the
16th, and I hasten to answer you, by announcing to you,
at last, that the English frigate, expected for this five
weeks, cast anchor at one o'clock, in this port. I have
not yet received the letter of which the Captain is the
bearer, but the English Consul writes me that the ship
came from Corfu, and is at my disposal. I hope, there-
fore, that I have reached the term of my long quarantine.
If, before the departure of the post, I can add a word
more positive, respecting the moment of sailing, I will do it.
" I thank you for the information you give me relative
to the sending of an entire cargo of potatoes; it is an im-
mense benefit. I shall be delighted with beginning by a
fete, in which I shall in person take a part in the laltour of
sowing this precious production. Be well assured, that
the-cargo of which you speak to me will be received with
lively gratitude, and that it will not be eat in the seeds.—
Preseot my-thanks to DI. Fazy and 3T. Bictet, as well as
to all thOse who have contributed to this Pod work.
CAPO D'ISTRIA."

" P. 8.- 1 have •received my letters, and I have now
only got to!arrange my departure with the Captaip, which
will take place as soon as the wind becomes favourable. "--
Journal de Geneve.

A circumstanceA)f. a very painful nature, and
pi,e• the evening
of
which is as
.yet iorolvea in considerable mystery, occurred
a fe
swunddag agot e parish of PQF
the nth ult, a girl of the naluu of IIio,FLE
or RAPHAEL, servant to the Misses-Coanii: South-park,
complained, we understand, of being slightly indisposed,
and retired to bed at an earlier hour than usual. For
months previous, the appearance of the girl had excited a
suspicion that she was in a state of pregnancy; but whe„
questioned on the subject, she stoutly and uniformly denied
the fact. On the 31st ult., or the day following, it was
so obvious that some change had taken place, that the
whole funily became alarmed. Though there was every
reason to suppose that a child had been born, not a trace
of the corpus delicti could be found ; and though ponds
have been dragged, and out-houses searched by the officers
of justice, it is undiscovered, we believe, to this hour.—
The supposed father of the child (a ploughman) as well as
the mother have been apprehended and placed in Kirkcud-
bright jail.—Dumfries Courier.
