FRENCH PAPERS.

( From the Eeoile, dated Thursday, April 13.)
PAIIIB, APRIL 12.—The Austrian Observer of
the 3d gives the following particulars of the tak-
ing of Vassiladi and Anatolico :
Letters from Corfu say, that the news of the
taking of Vassiladi is confirmed. A bomb, which
fell into•the powder magazine of the fort and set
fire to it, decided the affair. The garrison of 200
men made a most desperate resistance, and with
the exception of a few individuals was massacred.
Ibrahim then proceeded to attack the fortified
tow► of Anatolico, near Missolonghi, and took it
on the 13th. A. letter from Prevesa, of the 15th,
speaks as follows of this event :
44 After the taking of Vassiladi, Ibrahim pre-
pared to attack Anatolica. His gun-boats pro-
ceeded by the canal of Pore, near which the
Greeks on the continent occupied towards the
west) a fortified convent 'named KundrOw, the
batteries of which fired on the Turkish boats.
Ibrahim sent a detachment by way of Stamma to
take the convent. The attack and the defence
were equally vigorous; the place was stormed,
and the garrison of 400 men was put to the sword,
a few only escaping by flight. The loss of the
ITurks was also considerable ; they had nearly
200 men killed, and the Barnes Aga Was wounded.
44 The garrison of
,Anatolico, which saw this
event, considered farther resistance useless, and
offered to capitulate. Men and women ran to
the beach and asked to be spared. Ibrahim,
who was encamped at a short distance in the vil-
lage of Vinachia, hastened to the spot in person,
and granted to the garrison, after they should
have laid down their arms, and to the inhabi-
tants, permission to retire towards Arta, un-
molested ; and to take away as many of their
effects as they could. Some days before this, 100
Turkish prisoners, who Here at Anatolico, were
massacred by the Greeks.
" During these events at Kundrow and Ana-
tolico, ,he Greeks, to the number of 700, made
a 'ally from Missolonghi. The action was des-
perate-300 Greeks were killed, and the re-
mainder, for the most part, wounded, precipi-
tately returned to the city. The Turks, too,
lost a great many men, among whom were the
Topschi-Baschi (chief of the artillery), the
Bairaktar (standard bearer), and a Baluk Aga
(Colonel) who was killed just as he was seizing
a Greek standard. The Lord High Commissioner,
Sir Fred. Adam, who on the 13th went towards
Missolonghi, on, board the Naiad frigate, Cap-
tain Spencer, which arrived last night from Mis-
solonghi, at Cephalonia, returned this evening (the
20th) to Corfu. Since his arrival a report has
been spread, that with the intention of sparing
the effusion of blood at Missolonghi, which was
reduced to extremities, he had'again offered his
mediation, but that it was rejected by the
Greeks."

. PA [lts, Aram is believed, that several
of the individuals who, on the 20th March 1815,
entered Paris with torches in their hands, nod
were part of the sacral battalion of Buonaparte,
entered Miasolonghi the ‘2oth March 182 G. it
Is well known that lt►rahia►'s confidant Selves,
who when ihe turned Mabornetan took the name
of Solt►rtan Bey, was aid,de-camp to Marshal Ney.
Yesterday the. King .presided, at ten o'clock,
in a Council of Ministers, because to-day was
the anniverstiry, of the 12th April, a report was
immediately spread on 'Change of a change of
Ministry,and of war between Rtissia and Turkey ;
these reports caused the funds to decline one
franc.

:The Exchange is • shut today, it being the
anniversary of tlie King's return to Paris.
The Augsburg Gazette, which had announced
the taking •ef Missolongid, says nothing of it to.
day. Hitherto we have no accounts of this event
besides the details given by two Morning Papers.
Severaloilkmanufactures of Lyons assembled
lately to deliberate on an offer made to the French.
Government to import from England into France
000 machines, which our manufacturers, do not yet
possess, in return for 509 looms, called 'Tires and.
Jacquards. In consequence of this deliberation,
they pronounced against, this proposition, and ad-
dressed urgent representations to the President of
the Council and.the Minister of the Interior, in
order to procure its. rejeCtion. hi is added, that
the Chamber of Commerce strongly seconded the
petition of the manufacturers, both with the Mi-
nister and with the Deputation of the Ithone.
A fall took place to-day of the Funds. It has
been attributed to several causes, butparticularly
to certain news received from Petersburg!), ae•
cording to which the Duke of Wellington has
failed in his negotiation at that Court., , Such are
the reports circulating for the last two • days in
the political circles. We are not prepared to
warrant their truth ; but•we state them as having
a species of consistency, and having influenced
our public.. funds.

The news from Trieste, stating, that the English flag bad
been seen flying on the walls of that place, is therefore false.—
(Note of the Observer.) . .•

Mrs. SALMON.---About a week or 'ten ago, we
very innocently copied from some Morning Paper,
a paragraph to the following effect ;.-:-.44• The
lien physicians have pronounced. Mrs. Salmon's
voice totally irrecoverable." This morning we
received a letter, purporting to be from the'
above lady, and dated Paris, April the 10th,
in which we are assured that her voice is
not only not lost, but that it is better than ever.
From the tone of the, letter, we suspect this fact
would be demonstrated to our entire satisfaction,
if the. remonstrance had been made personally.
However, as we have ever been ardent admirers
of her fine musical talents, we rejoice to learn,
that she has had no occasion to consult any phy.
sician, Italian or French, since her absence ; that
" change of scene and climate has restored her
spirits, and completely re-established her health."
and that her ,4 musical powers are improved
rather than
diminished, and that she is perfectly
qualified to resume her profession at any moment
she, may feel inclined." We can assure Mrs
Salmon, that whatever of " hatted or envy,"
there may have been in the " fabrication" of
right in supposing that we " are above lending
which shalt) vehemently complains, she is quite
ourselves to such wickednesS."—(l4:venink Pa-
