FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Go,lette de Fiance, dated Nov. 9.)

CONSTANT) OPLE, OCT. lo.—The news which
the Porte has received from the army in Bulgaria
come down to the sth, both feom the camp at Shemla
and Varna. The Grand Vizier, after having passed
the Balkan, had arrived on the other side of the
Kamzick, and had made several attempts to relieve
Varna. Soar_ thousand men under the command of
Omer racha Triune had been sent from Sltumla.
Towards the and of September there had been a
series of engagements, in which the Turks, notwith-
standing their efforts, had not been able to dislodge
the Russians from their strongly entrenched position
on the south side of the Bay of Varna. The warmest
affairs were on the 26th and 30th of September.
The Russians had lost many men, especially of the
Guards, and; everal of them Generals.
The despatAes from Shurala say, that on the 4th
Alisch l'acha, having been on the road to litazardjik,
was returning with booty and prisoners, when he
was surrounded in a wood by a party of Don Cos-
sacks. He took the desperate resolution of massa-
creing the prisoners, who endeavoured to rejoin their
comrades, and his cavalry charged the enemy with
evict fury that they gave way, and so the Pacha re-
turned to Shurnla without further obstacle.
This time the Porte has not published any bulle-
tins of these events, as it did on former occasions.
Private letters from Shamla say, that Halil Pacha,
who had distinguished himself several times at the
head of the regular troops, had been removed on ac-
count of some indiscreet expressions, which might
create jealousy between the reviler and irregular
troops. He has been to Demotika.
In Asia, General Paskewitch had, after the taking
of Kars, mace. himself master of the fortresses of
Alkalkalaki, Ghewisi Ackalzik, and Asgur, and had
obtained signal advantages ever the Turkish troops
Resembled in those countries.
Galib, Pattie of Eroeropm, whom his great age
renders incapable of properly defending that Impor-
tant province, has been removed ; and his son,
Jalib, Pacha of Maden, been appointed in his room.
Several distinguished officers, and one of the bravest
of the Capidgi Bachis, have just been sent with
considerable reinforeemeoto to the army in Asia.
The sultan is still in the camp at Ramis Tchiaik,
but it is tho iglu he will soon set out for Adrianople.
The mos complete order reigns in the capital,
thanks to tle indefatigable vigilance of the police,
which does rot relax in any respect, notwithstand-
ing the Absence of the Sultan, from whom it every
day receives precise orders. No excesses have been
committed. On the eoutrary, the Alepires have
obtained pe!mission to return to their homes in Pera
and Constaltinople, which they were obliged to
aWndon at the time ("1 the persecution against the
Armenians. This favour of the Government has
had. a very Good effect 9!) the public, as it may now be
hoped that the Admistration, better informed of the
real state of things, will relax in its rigour towards
those unfortunate Armenians.

Th ardiniun Envoy, Marquis Gropallo, took

leave to,day or the Reis Effendi, intending to ac.
company o the Dardanellps his family, who are going
to return Genoa.—Amtrian Observer,
(From the Journal des Debate.)

PARIS. Nov'. B—A terrific event happened on
Tuesday evening, near Versailles. At the hamlet
of Pcti:-Chesnay, a quarter of a league from the
city, a .uarrel took place between the horse grena-
diers a, d the Swiss of the Royal Guard. There
;e or six men killed, and from twenty-five to
thirty wounded. It is to be hoped that at length
the C overntnent wilt be convinced of the dagger of
allow the soldiers to keep their arms when not on
duty for that converts the most frivolous suarrela
into ::)Ic,,dy contests when they occur zurong urunken
HOle, 41'5, who then know no other law but that of
the sabre at their aide. The horse grenadiers aura
th,. Swiss of the Royal Guard are in garrison at
17(.rsailles. The former had seJecteci for their ren-

&avotis a public...bowie by the uanie of Chesney, to
v,hieh they resorted frequently, conceiving that this
place of amusement was more especially appropriated
5y their body. On St. Charles's Day they repair-
ed, after an absence of two menthe, to their usual
rendezvous, but during their absence from the gar-
rison the Swiss had taken possession of their quer-
tera.; words arose, ak insult was given by a Swiss
to a grenadier, and this was the signal for a tight.
Bleod was she. on both sides; and, as we have said,

several were wounded, and five killed.
Another account states, that on the day of the
King's fete, the Horse Grenadiers of the Jet Regi-
ment went to drink at Petit-Chesney, a quarter of a
league from Versailles; and some soldiers of the
Swiss Guards, also in garrison at Versailles, were
drinking at the same place. There were in parti-
cular many of both regiments at the public-house
ff Grace de Dieu," kept by M. Leveille, The Swiss
were 4ancing, when one of the grenadiers enter4d,
covered wish Wood, and a large wound in his fore-
head. "'ro prms, Frenchmen," cried he, " the
Swiss are murOeritig ma." At these words foreigners
and Frenchmen: drew thei;: sabres ! a terrible quarrel

ensued, tables, jugs, bottles, were all broken; and
outside of the public-house soldiers were seen pur-
suing their opponents, with a candle in one hand,
.and a sabre iu t!Le other. The landlord jumped out of
the window, his wife escaped in another direction.
Rage and drunkenness mitered the soldiers to such a
degree, that the poor fiddler would have been massa-
need, had he not implored mercy on his knees, At
the beginning of the affray the Guards were beaten,
a reinforcame,Ut At as sent sufficiently strong to seize
and carry oil tile combatants. A notion of the horrid
speetitcle nay be forrne.4 by the:circumstance, that
nothing was !o be seen on the Road but bleeding
men, or men carried on litters, It is not known who
Mt* the aggressors ; hut the two corps have not
been Dia pod terms since they have been in garrison
together. 4,reat number of arrests were subse-
(ineptly ordered, Yesterday, Marshal Oudinot,
Major-General of the gond Guard, sent persons to
Versailles to inquire into .0 gircumstances of this
deplorable occurrence. ,

LONDON, -
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 18e8,

The French Papers contain no news from the
East of a character entitled to any particular
attention, either for novelty or importance.
The accounts from Constantinople are only
dated the I.oth October, and they conse-
quently refer to events which took place seve-
ral days previously to the. fall of Varna.
The reported surrender of Silistria is not yet
confirmed by any illyiligence from the usual
channels of communication with the seat of war ;
but such an event is by no means improbable in

le present juncture of Russian affairs in tha

varier. The Turks are well aware of what
importance Silistria is to their cause, and

the Russians are impressed the other way. The
advanced state of the season urges the ne-
cessity of increased enterprise on both the

belligerents ; and though the act of pos-
session is strongly in favour of the Turks,
yet the security obtained by the Russians, in
consequence of the fall of Veins, will serve ma•
terially to confirm their confidence, and stimu-
late to much daring,—added to which, the ne-
cessity of protecting their right wing, by the
capture of Silistria, is a conclusive argument.

Under these circumstances, we shall not be at
all surprised to hear that Silistria has fallen into

the hands of the Russians, either in the ordinary
course of places besieged, or by storm.

• The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 4th inst. con-
tains a long article from the Courier of Sinyrna,
which is highly favourable to the Turks. It
speaks in a strain of much confidence of the'
military fervour so long dormant, being rekindled
by the energy of the SULTAN, who proves him-
self on every occasion a man of deep discern-
tnent and magnanimous resolution. The new
system seems new to become as great a favourite
with the Turks as it was formerly obnoxious.
So it is with all national prejudices—the first
step is generally the most objectionable, if not
the most dangerous. But the SULTAN has
passed 'the " Rubicon " of Reformation, and
now only wants the return of peace to consoli-
date the great purposes of his reign—the rege-
neration of his people—a work which will not
be more beneficial to Turkey than conducive to
his own individual glory :

AUGSBURGH, NOV. 3.
The Courtier de Smyrne of the 4th Oct., has the
fullowing paragraph :
" The camp of the Sultan at Ramis Tchitiik pro-
tects the capital on the North-west side, while the
Seraskier, Mehemed Chosrew Paella, still occupies

the position of Daud Pacha, which covers Constan-
tinople on the South side. The battalions which he
commands are constantly exercised by A. M. Gail-
lard, Instructor General of the infantry, and the ma-
noeuvres are very frequently directed by the Sultan
himself. Ramis Tchiflik and Daud Pacha are only
a league from Constantinople. As the Sultan, so
long as the standard of the Prophet is out of the
walls of Constantinople, curios return thither even
incognito, he performs his devotions in the Mosque
of Ejub, which is not in the walls. The Porte has
hired several ships to fetch corn from Alexandria,
the coasts of Syria, Salonichi, Volo, and other
places, where there are large magazines. It has been
confidently affirmed that a great part of the naval
force of the Viceroy of Egypt would come this autumn,
to Constantinople, ao that united with the ships still at
the entrance of the Bosphorus, and with those that
were building at Boudroun and Mitylene, they might
form in the next campaign a naval force capable of
opposing the Russian fleet. The lurks are said to.
be now so passionately fond of the new militaay system
that companies of young soldiers, who have come from
the interior of Asia, are seen exercising by night, that
they may not be told by the instructor, on the fol-
slowing morning, that they are behind the others.—
The feeling :of qatjoplil prirle has never been extinct
in the Turks, bnt a skilful hand has long been want-
ing to give it a proper direction ; this is pow found ;
the nation wakes from its slumber at the voice of
its Chief, and its ancient energy, rapidly returns." In
conclusion, however, the Courrier advises the Sul-
tan, as he is now fayonred by fortune, to be the
first to offer peace, and the c4Funce of the Bos-
AMA might be lixed for the meeting of the
two. Sovereigns. The Cour*r de Suzyrne, in
its number .of the 27th of September, hits a long
articleits usual acrimonious style, on the '
affairs of Greece, the substance of which is, that
,Colonel fleidegger and the President support each
theto bfielr
it

other in saland military, with, foreigners;

the latter with Cor-
fiot Counts. To be of any consequence a man must
be a foreigner, and have letters of recommendation
from a German Noble to Colonel Ueidegger, or
from an lonian iN,Qble to the President. .The

Cowrie?' enumerates a great many places in the
array, naval, and civil departments, filled by foreigners
unknown by their services, useless as far as their
talents are concerned, indebted for their places to their
birth or for their country, or the influence of distant
protectors. " Discontent is loud, and every one culls
for a National Assembly. Every one exclaims, that
such important questions as those to be discussed in
the Congress at Poros ought not to be treated by
the President alone, without the representatives of
the nation; that he cannot continue to exercise dic-
tatorial power without exposing himself to a re-
action, and Greece never intended to confide its
existence to his bands. The circumstances are
critical ; they call for great prudence in the Presi-
dent, and perhaps an entire change in the spirit of
his administration."

The LORD MAYOR'S Fete passed off yester-
day with unusual eclat. From the *LORD
• MAYOR'S connection with several of his MA-
' JESTY'S Ministers it was strongly, but not
wisely, ; expected that some allusion would
be made by the Duke of WELLINGTON
to political events of a foreign or of a do-
mestic nature, but in these expectations the
knowing ones were, as they now own, grie-
_vously disappointed. Equally disappointed were
the Ultra Tories of Manchester at Mr. PEEL'S
determination to think and act for himself,
by not choosing to step out of his way
to dissipate the doubts or satisfy the mis-
givings of fearful but interested individuals.
However much we may differ with public men
on, public matters, we always hold it proper to
let them enjoy their private opinions, which
should be held sacred from party bickerings or
political animosity. If the Duke of WELLING-
TON, Mr. PEEL, or any other of his MA-
JEsTY's Ministers, had made any allusion to
passing events at a convivial entertainment, we
think they would be stepping not beyond the
modesty of office, but beyond the propriety
of official responsibility. The convivial table may
be the fit scene for gentle courtesy and reciprocal
compliment ; but it is not the proper place for
the Ministers of a country to lisp obit the secrets
of Government, merely for the gratification of the
curious, or the satisfaction of the vain glorious.
That Ministers are at present deeply engaged in
schemes for the general pacification of the coun-
try—particularly Ireland, we know; but then
the premature disclosure of their plans would
not expedite the business, though it might se
the table in a roar.

INliramichi Papers, of the 28d Sept., mention
that it was understood his Excellency the Lieu-
tenant-Governor did not intend to go to England
yet, unless he received despatches by the next
mail requiring his early attendance in England;
but Lady Dour,As and family take their passage'
to Glasgow in the Allan, GILMOUR, from St.
John's.

We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the
20th ult. inclusive. The wind still continued
East with cloudy weather. The following are
the official details of the progress of the fever :
Oct. 17.—Remain ill, 923; admitted, 101 ; dead, SS ;
under observation in camp, 70; Officers sick, 21.
Oct. 18.—Remain ill, 910 ; admitted, 110 ; dead, 29 ;
under observation in camp, 66 ; Officers sick, 22.
Oct. 19.—Remain ill, 995 ; admitted 99 ; dead, 32 ;

Oct. 20.—Remain ill, 916 ; admitted, 102 ; dead, 2:3 ;
under observation in camp, 45 ; Officers sick, 19.

The Duke of York steamer, from London,
had passed the Straits on the 16th, and landed
Dr. BRA DFOOT and lady in a boat. She pro-
ceeded for Genoa, and on her return would call
at Gibraltar, about the 10th of November. The
Superior Board of Health, of the kingdom of
Valencia, officially announced that on the 27th
ult. (Sept.), a man had died of the yellow fever
at Torre Viga. Three medical practitioners
were still ill, and we are sorry to notice among

the deaths, Miss YATES and Mr. COCHRANE.
Up to the 20th, no heavy rains had fallen, and
which were most anxiously looked for, as the
only alleviation expected from the dreadful
mortality.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CIT Y, Twavt YR 0' CLOCK.

There has been a continuation of business in the
Funds, but chiefly fur the account day, and in small
amounts. Consols opened at 861 j, both for money
and time, became 86k, buyers, but at the present hour
the appearance of the market does not wear so
favourable an aspect, and the price has receded to
861 ; the money market is strong, and stook scarce.
India Bonds, 85 7; Exchequer Bills 75 6 pm.
There is very little to notice in the Foreign Funds
this morning, Russian Bonds, which generally rise
and fall with Consols, are 94 ;, Danish, 61/ 2i;
Brazilian are 641 i; Buenos Ayres, 47 8; Portu-
guese Stock, 5.51 6 ; Mexican, 6 per Cent., 314 I ;
Spanish 101 11.
The Share aPeenhttions are nominally at the same
price which has been quoted fot the last ftw days.
In the City we are without any political iutelli-
o.ence, and numbers of those who partook of the
feasting yesterday at Guildhall do not appear to have
recovered themselves sufficiently to attend to busi-.
/Jess i we opght in fairness, however, to except his

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

FROM LLOYD'S.

DEAL, Nov.:lo.—Windli--Atrived from Lon-
don the Coriolanus, Sisk, for Jamaica; tine Aid,
Davis,, for Bilboa ; the Llanderry; White, for To-
bago; the SabertOn and John Wilkinson, for
Jamaica. •

FAtatount, Nov. 9.—Wind E.—The Speedy,
Wall, from Cork, parted one cable, cut the other,
and ran on the sands. The Bullen, Champion,
from London for the Brazils, upsett her windlass but
rode out the gale. The Adventure, Cuthhertson,
from Malaga, for Guernsey, broke her best bower
anchor stock, and drifted on shore last night; the
cargo of fruit discharged without damage, and the
vessel afterwards scuttled, but expected to be got off
without any material daniage, should the weather
moderate.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's,
dated Penzance, Nov. 9 :—" It has blown a heavy
gale since the 6th, varying from S.S.E. to E.S.E.
Yesterday it was a perfect hurricane at E.S.E. and
S.E. There are not more than 30 or 40 sail of
vessels in this place, and about eight at the Mount,
but no damage has been sustained by any of them
beyond chafing a channel or two and parting a few
chains, and injuring some of the rope head and stern
posts. The wind has now (noon) shifted to E.,
which causes less sea. Seven of the fishing boats
parted their chain moorings in the road, and were
stranded last night. All those with hemp moorings
only have rode it out."
