FRENCH' PAPERS.

(From the _Doile, dated Wednesday.)
CORFU, SEPT. 20.—Letters from Zente, of the 2d of
this month, ear that it is very certain that Ibrahim Pacha
has been afraid to go and join the Capitan Paella at Nava-
tin, though the Admiral wrote him a letter, inviting him
to come and confer with him on the operations of a new
campaign, and receive a pelisse and sabre which the Sul-
tan sent him. Ibrahim, on receiving this letter, instead
of repairing to Nayarin, abandoned Nisei, and went to
Tripolizza with his army. It is well known that he is
blockaded there, though he makes sallies, in which much
blood is shed.

Letters from Prevesa, of 11th of this month, say that
the Seraskier, when he withdrew from the camp before
Athens, left the direction of the siege to Omer Pacha, of
Carysto, and went to the fortress of NegTopont ; but that
the reasons of this step were not known. They say that
there has been a very smart action at a place called Mulki,
on the side of. Thebes, with Karaiskaki and two other
Cheek Captains, but without any deeisive advantage on
either aide; that, in consequence of orders received from
Constantinople, he has attempted to penetrate into the
Mores by the Isthmus 'of Corinth, for the purpose of re-
lieving and reinforcing Ibrahim, but that he has not been
able to succeed. kis added, that Beker Aga, Governor
of Prevesa, having arrived there, on his return from Mis-
solonglii, he had gone to pay him a visit, and that the Go-
vernor appeared extremely uneasy, and had asked him for
news from the Morea with an eagerness which proves that
neither the Baker Aga nor the Seraskier are acquainted
with the rettl situation of Ibrahim.

• The Doke of Ragman had his final audience of the
Emperor of Russia and the Einpress-mother, on the 29th
of September, and was to have his audience of leave of
the reigning Empress, on the let of October. The
Emperor has conferred on him the Grand Cross of the
Order of St. Andrew, and those of St. Anne and St.
Alexander Neweky.
Lady Cochrane set out on the 11th of this month from
Geneva for Italy, • where she will embark for Greece to
join his Lordship.
Moscow, SEPT. 22.—On•the day of the celebration of
the Fete of the Chevaliers Gerdes, the Empress wore the
colour of the uniform of that regiment—namely, white
and red, At the parade, which followed after the religious
ceremony, this Princess, in the capacity of Chief of the
regiment, passed along in front of the whole line, spoke to
several soldiers, and addressed to the corps a speech suited
to the occasion, which she ended by assuring it of her
affection. • Their Imperial and Royal Majesties and
Highnesses, as .well as all the superior Officers, ad. •
journetl then, to : a tent, where a breakfast a la four-
dime, had been • prepared. The Ladies of 'Honour
performed there, the service of Aid-de-CaMps and
poured out the beverage to the persons who had been
presented. The Empress gaVe the first toast to the " Pre-
servation of the Regiment ;" and immediatelyafter, " The
health of his Majesty the Emperor." The Monarch, in
reply to the wish expressed by. his august consort, drank
to the." Prosperity of the regiment ;" and immediately
afterwards to the " Unchangeable health of bar Majesty
the Empress Alexandra." This toast was enthusiastically
repeated by all preient, and accompanied by the acclama-
tions of the soldiers on the outside of the tent, and by the
sound of trumpets and kettle-drums. Dinner was next
served up to the soldiers, with %rand brandy. The Em-
press tasted all the dishes prior tb their being put on the
table, to ascertain if they were well dressed.
'['he Marshal Duke of Ragusa, fearing that the palace of
Prince Icourakin, whlah he inhabits, might not prove suf-
ticently spacious for the proper accommodation and recep-
tion of the vast number of gliests invited to his ball, or-
dered a saloon of ettraordinary size to be constructed in
the:court-yard, which was decorated with the utmost

nutinifieenee, and splendidly lighted up. The expenee of
this building was valued at 40000yubles.

A great number of Officers have petitioned the Ern-
pew to be hollowed with appointments to regiments
going to Persia.
The French brig Emilie, of Fecamp, Capt. Lepore, was
met on the Nth of September last in view of Adra by the
schooner Repalleano, a Colombian pirate, captured, and
taken to Gibraltar, under the pretext that she had on
board merchandise belonging to the Spaniards. A captain
.of a vessel commanding the naval division on the Cadiz
,station, being informed of this circumstance by the French
Consul in that city, sent the brig Euryale to Algesiras to
observe the Cohmibiano and use all possible means to
have the V'eneh ship released. This mission was attend-

. .
ecl with the most complete likens. The Commander, of
the Euryala having anchored at Algeciras, proceeded to
Gibraltar to the French Consul, and after an interview
with the Captain of the eorsair, in which he proved that
the latter had,exceedril his powers, and viOlatnig the laws
. .

of neutrality, exposed himself .to just reprisals, the Emilie
'-'srati liberated, and sixteen piastres u day paid for the time
she had been detained.

11.16115 A, Sep'r. 20:—Something of an extraordinary
nature is passing on the other side of our horizon. The
Austrian police is all anxiety about it. Emissaries, who

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1826.

We received at a late hour the Moniteur of yes-
terday by express. It copies a paragraph from the Doile,
stating it to have been the general opinion at Odessa
that peace would be maintained between _Russia and
the Porte, by the SULTAN accepting the ultimatum,
in order to perfect his reform.

We received last night the Paris Papers of Tues-
day, and the Etoile of Wednesday morning, and we
have given in another column extracts from them.
Want of confidence is manifest amongst the
Turkish Commanders engaged against Greece.
IBRAHIM suspecting the good faith of the
CAPITAN PACIIA, who had invited him to come to
Nayarit), for the purpose of conferring with him on
the operations of a new campaign, had declined join-
ing him, although a pelisse and sabre sent by the
SULTAN were awaiting his arrival. It is said, that
instead of repairing to Navarin, IBRAHIM on receive
ing this letter abandoned Nissi, and went with his
army to Tripolizza, where he is blockaded. The
Greek Admiral TOMBAZI, has addressed a letter to
M. ENNA an, thanking him for his` exertions in the
cause of Greece, and committing the education of
his only son to the city of Geneva, which has ae-

The Etoile states, that a letter from Madrid men-
tiona ,
that M.
Court, had obtained from the Spanisli Government
de SOUZA, Portuguese Envoy at that
a promise to restore the arms and equipments of the
Portuguese deserters. It is added, that by the exist-
ing treaties, each of the two Governments may re-
eeive the deserters of the other, but they must reci-
procally restore their 4rrnand accoutrements, as well
t,
as the horses and their furniture.

From Ragusa, it ia an omiced that something of

bration of ' the fete of the Chevalier Gardes. Her.
1/ Ai my, on this oeeasi;)u, stems to have played, her
part well, 'as Colonel of tlait Regiment. After re-
vieWing, and addressing the corps, she entertained the
'Wirers at a breakfitst' a la
,Iburchette, at which her
Ladies of Honour performed the service of Aide-de-
Camps, and. poured. out the beverage to the persons
who had been presented. Her IMPERIAL MAJESTY
herself gave the toasts, and we conclude drank them.
In short the order of things was reversed, and the
EMPEROR seems to have quietly looked on, while his'
august spouse.. sustained the character of a Dragoon
Officer. After this breakfast, dinner was served up to
the soldiers with a liberal allowance of brandy. The
EMPRESS tasted all the dishes prior to their being put
.
on the table, to asceaam whether they were well
dressed—but the French Papers ,do not mention
whether her MAJESTY likewise. tasted each bowl of
brandy served out on this occasion. 'We admire not
such departures from the delicacy of female conduct ;
and we can only conclude that it is found necessary to
engage the attachment of the army by any means which
are likely to effect that object.
These Papers contain but little French news. The
French brig Emilie, which had been detained by a
Colombian Pirate, had been liberated in consequence
of the Cominander of a French brig having (as it is
stated) proved that the Captain of the Corsair had
violated the IaWS of neutrality, and exposed, to
just reprisals. If, however, the accounts from Gibraltar
of this transaction .e correct, the French Commander
did not obtain this restitution by merely confuting his
antagonist in argument on the laws* of Nations.
TALMA is still alive, but his malady is of the most
dangerous description.

RIGA, SEPT. 20.—The news of their Majesties' corona-
tion having arrived here on thit 11th, Marquis Paulucci,
the Governor, immediately proceeded to make preparations
for the festivities which were to take place in this city.
On the 14th Divine Service was performed with pomp
in all the churches. At ten the Civil and Military Autho-
ritiei' the Deputation of the Clergy, the Consuls and prin.
cipalMerchants, went to the hotel of his Excellency to pay
their compliments. There was afterwards a grand parade
of the troops at which Divine Service was performed, and
a salute of 101 pus fired during the prayers for the Im-
perial Family. The civil and military dined under tents,
and an entertainment was given to the poor in all the
charitable ipstitutions ; and in the course of the day, red
and white, wine flowed from a fountain in the form of an
imperial eagle, erected in the market-place, and some.pri-
vate
.persons threw money among the people. In the
evening there was a splendid ball at the Governor's Pa-
lace. For two evenings the theatre was open gratis, thel
body of merchants defraying the expencei., The city and
suburbs were illuminated for three successive evepings.
The Jews had Divine Service in their synagogue for the
first three days, and liberally distributed alms to prisoners,
without distinction of religion. Various other acts of
charity were done by the Aobility of Livonia and the
merchants.

At the time that a certain class of politicians in this
country, anti a large part of the practical part of the
community, are condemning the principles of free trade,
which his MAJESTY'S Government have determined
to act upon, and attributing all the disasters which
have occurred within the last twelvemonths to the
operation of these principles, and foreboding the ruin
of the country for a perseverance in dial, we find
that the people of France are equally averse to recipro-
city in commercial intercourse, and equally alarrneti at
its consequences to their own country. It will be seen
by our extracts from the French Papers, that the Quo-
tidienne states, that much is said at present in Paris
relative to aof
Is TreatyicnAerNceNbetGw, and adds, that'
France and
England, proposed by
they have no occasion to know the basis of it to con-
jecture what advantage the French would draw from
it. it is enough, they say, that it be founded on re-
ciprocity, which they hold to be inadmissible, unless
their rulers have conspired the ruin of France.
Now it is evident.that if the reciprocity of commer-
cial intercourse be injurious to France, it cannot be so
to England ; and that therefore the alarm on one side
or other of the water, at the consequences cf it, must
be unfounded. But the fact isp that reciprocity of

:.~~,

•

iniercaurse cannot be injurious to either country, but
must be benefit;..i in the highest degree to both,
acted upon by each nationr with good faith to t!
other. There can be no doubt that• if this country
were always to admit Frewh goods without restriaion,
notwithstanding the perseverance of France to exclude
ours, France would derive nearly exclusive benefit from
'such a system ; and might well wish to retain it with-
out allosking any countervailing advantagzs to Great
Britain. But the very principle of the measures
adopted by his MAJESTY% Ministers, involved the
necessity of reciptoeal conet.4:ions being made by
those countries whose prodattions v,..e admitted into
our ports ; and if this freedom of intercourse was not
insisted upon in the case of some couritries, it was
postponed under the conviction that those countries
would soon see that their own interests would be ad-
vanced by adopting measures which would lead to a
continuance of those which this country had adopted,
but which she would abandon, so far as those coun-
tries were concerned, unless they also made mutual
concessions. We have no doubt that Mr. CANNING
has set this question in a clear and distinct manner
before the French Government, and pretty plainly
spewed them the necessity of entering ditto a commer-
cial treaty founded on principles of perfect reciprocity ;
and we have as little doubt that the French Govern-
ment will, notwithstanding the narrow minded policy
upon which perhaps the nation generally would wish
them to act, adopt a course which will be mutually
beneficial to two nations, which, though rivals in war,
may, in peace, contribute to the comforts and prosperity
of each other.

We received this morning the Austrian Observer
of the Bth instant. It contains, under the head of
News from Greece, an account of some serious mis-
understanding between two hot-headed but influential
young Chiefs in Corinth, who, in the true spirie,of
Grecian rivalry, wished to settle the point of, prece-
dence in the Morea, after an idle wa'r of words, by
having recourse to arms. The misunderstanding was
at first treated slightly by the Government, but when
it assumed more importance by threatening to involve
the Morea in civil war, a deputation 'of the most dis-
tinguished and prudent members of the' Government
was sent to allay the ferment, and appease the angry
spirits of the storm. After putting an end to the
troubles in Corinth, the Deputies, ' with COLOCO-
TRONI, and all the troops there, and those they took
from Napoli, will proceed against IBRAHIM PACHA,
who, in consequence of these disturbances, has done
nbi little mischief in the Morea. It is a great pity that
thew hot-headed Greeks, who desire a precedence
their title to such distinction, by being foremost in
driving the enemy from their country, when, if their
merits did not entitle them to the first honours, they
would at least have the proud satisfaction of having
deserved them : .
