FRENCH PAPERS

(From the Moniteur of Wednesday, Nov. 19. )
PARIS, Nov. 18.—A telegraphic despatch from
Toulon announces that the Loiret, from Patras, has
arrived with despatches.
Admiral de Rigny reports that the Castle of the
Morea surrendered on the 30th of O ctober, after
having been cannonaded for four hours, and that the
Morea is entirely evacuated.
M. de Rigny also announces that each ship had
erected a battery on shore, to reduce the fort.

(From the Gazette de France, Nov. 20.)
TRIESTE, Nov. 7.--A 'letter from Corfu, of the
24th of October, announces that on the news of
the occupation of Patras by the French, the popu-
lace of Prevesa had surrounded and threatened the
residences of the foreign Consuls; but that no acci-
dent had happened.,
A letter from Ancona, of the 29th, says, that by
the arrival of an English brig, news had been re-
ceived at Corfu, that Mr: Stratford Canning, who
had been before authorised by his Government to
take part in the conferences at Corfu and Poros,
had suddenly separated from his colleagues, after
having received despatches from London. This
news seems to be in great want of confirmation, for
all the letters received direct from Corfu, are wholly
silent on the subject.

(From the Messager des Chambres, Nov. 19.)
SEMLIN, NOV. 2.—On the 22d October a Jewish
merchant, who was usually charged with the com-
missions of the Pacha, was arrested and thrown into
the dungeon of the citadel. There are various con-
jectures respecting the cause of this measure. Some
affirm that he has been the medium of a correspond-
ence between the Prince of the Servians and the
Russian Governor-General of the two Principalities.
Others think that amidst all the indiscreet language
which is daily held here upon public affairs, the events
of the war, and the most important interestsof the Go-1
vernment, the Pacha has thought it prudent to secure a
man who is in possession of all his secrets, were it only
to give a salutary warning to the crowd of busy-
bodies, who talk of every thing, meddle with every
thing, and endeavour to throw every thing into con-
fusion. It is certain that we no longer perceive any
trace of that satisfaction which was displayed in
the countenances of the persons of the Pacha's
household but a short time ago, and that the Turks
were informed several days ago of the surrender of
Varna, which the Christian portion of the popula-
tion of Semlin did not learn till yesterday, by letters
from Varna and the Austrian. Observer.
As is usual upon reverses of fortune, the songs of
triumph, which were echoed from Belgrade to us,
have been succeeded by the most gloomy reports of
the incalculable losses of the Turks on thiS occasion
—on their desperate condition,, and the mortal blow
which this event must,give,to the Ottoman Power,
eves; in the heart of the Empire. The Turks no
longer deceive themselves fart its, possible= results
and the proof of this is foUnd in the extreme. ac-
tivity displayed by the Pasha of Belgrade in fur
nishing all the supplies of arms, ammu-
nition, leather, provisions, and, ilc short, all
the necessaries which are required is: the
army, and which he forwards with all pos-
sible despatch. He makes contracts, pays ready
money, and does every thing in his power to form
very considerable magazines; according to the wish
of the Sultan, who had given him orders to that ef-
fect, without imposing on him any restrictions re-
specting the prices, which circumstances have caused
to rise considerably; that of arms remains extremely
high, and yet large orders are given. In general
the Turks are parsimonious, the Governmeut espe-
cially is even miserly in its purchases, and will have
every thing at the lowest price. It is only on occa-
sions like the present crisis that it departs so far
from its usual conduct in this respect, that the offers
which it now makes almost seem liberal.
The navigation from Semlin to Widdin has been
extremely active, and almost uninterrupted ; but an
order has just been published at Widdin and Or-
sowa for every, lonfhld -',,lletweforth
military escort,,which makes- supposed that •the'
Russians have been reinforced in Little Wallachia,
and may easily approach the. Danube.

DISCOVERY OF A HUMAN SKELETON.

On the afternocn of Saturday last, the 15th inst.,
while the farming labourers in the service of Sir
William B. Cooke, Bart., of Wheatley, near this
place, were digging a trench round a pie of mange)
wurzel, in the stack-yard at the Wheatley farm,
they threw up a human skull, which had been lying
at the depth of about twelve inches. The spade
of Jacques, one of the labourers, broke the skull in
pieces, and part of it was thrown upon the mange]
wurzel, before they ascertained what it was. The
labourers, however, immediately' on discovering that
it was a human skull, desisted from completing their

Work.
It. will doubtless be in the recollection of many of
our readers, that since the 22d Jan. 1822, Mr. J.
Wood, of the Intax Farm, near the race-ground,
has been missing. About 10 o'clock-on the evening
of that day, he was returning from Wheatley, in
company, as far as the park style, with two of Sir
Wm. B. Cooke's servants, and a tradesman of Don-
ester—the, latter three then walking together to
Dot; caster,- and Mr. J. Wood turnincr to the left,
towards Green House, on his way home, which he
never reited
The discovery of th e skeleton in the stack-yard
at the Wheatley farm,
in connection with the re-
membrance of the sudden disappearance of Wood,
excited intense interest; and on,,-the following
morning a considerable number, of
people were
attracted to the-spot, which is not distant more than
-a hundred yards from the farmer's house. In the
forenoon Mr. Justice Walker, as Deputy mayor,
Mi. Justice Branson, Mr. Fisher, Town Clerk, &c.,
proceeded to the place, where the skull had been
discovered; and in the presence of these gentlemen,
and of Dr. Chorley, of Green House, and
Moack, Esq., part of the mange! wurzel pie, which
had been placed over they ower extremities of the
skeleton, was removed; d after the earth had
been cleared away, to the depth
hs, oabout
twelve

e
inches, the bones of the legs, g hips,
Tresented to view.
it appears that the body had not been, when
buried,. laid at full length, from the facts, that one
rib was .discovered lying over the pelvis, and from
the distance Pf the apex of the skull to the hip bones
being only eighteen inches. A Jury, from the sur-
rounding spectators, was immediately sworn ; and
on the succeeding day, a east of the bones was taken
by Mr. J. Lockwood. That they are the bones of a
male skeleton, and of a middle aged man, is evident,
from the thickness of the laminae of the skull; from
the texture of the bones generally ; from the strong
impressions made upon them for the passage of the
tendons; and from the magnitude of their protube-
rances, as well as from the narrow appearance of the
pelvis. They are, it is true, much decomposed ;
but the decomposition must have been considerably
accelerated by their lying, in a light porous•soi,l, so
near the surface. Not a vestige of wearing apparel
was visible.—Doncaster Gazette.

SPANISH REFUGEES.--The ReV•IDwARD
lavinn has humanely offered to preach a sermon. for the
behoof of the Spsnish and Italian Refugees, at the Na-''
tional Scotch Charcb, on the 7th of December. It is
hoped that this will not be a solitary example of berieva-
lence and Christian charity....• Times.

living Chony excited so much curiosity.

We in to direct the attention of that most
influential and enlightened body, the Clergy of
the Established Church, to the admirable address
of Lord DARNLEY to the Clergy.of the diocese
of Rochester. That address is couched, as his
Lordship very truly says, in the spirit of Christian
charity and neighbourly kindness, breathing good
will to all, while it asserts a due sense of that
manly independence which characterises his Lord-
ship's public and private conduct. We could
enlarge upon this topic with great pleasure, but
as we find the subject so ably adverted to by a
spirited and impartial contemporary—the Kent
copy his observations in preference to
making ax~y comments of our own. The Kent
Herald inserts dship' his Lor s address, and then

says :
" We feel much pleasure in the insertioa of the above
letter, so creditable to the feelings and character of its noble
Author. It is only the pressure of matter in oar narrow
limits that bra prevented us from remarking more at length
on the illiberal treatment experienced by the Noble Eat
We are at a loss to understand the reason for the clamour
direeted against him as. an Irish Landlord. Surely it was
not only natural hut just that his Lordship should stand
up in defame of his own injured tenantiy,—men whom I)is
Lordship verily believes are in every way as worthy to enjoy
their civil liberty as bis lti.entish tenantry. Was it not ra-
thernroct of duty, when he beard them branded as worth-
less beings, and incapable of bearing taw allegiance to their
King and country. Men whose sons fell at Waterloo—men
who have ever been found honest in all their dealings as
tenanta.....tue,u who have been as ready to come forward as
volunteers in defence of Ireland, as his Kentish tenantry
were to the ranks of bis yeomanry squadron at Cobham.—
Where can you find a Brunswick Lord who has proved
himself a firmer supporter of the State: now, as for his
cnmity to the State, it is well known that Lord parnley

erected at his own individual expence the handsome church
at Sandgate, and gave it for ever to the inhabitants of that
place. He comes nobly forward, and lays down his 1,0001.
to build a place of divine worship, and does not wait till
called upon, and unwillingly subscribe five or ten pounds
to have it sounded through half a dozen advertisements, like
the noisy Brunswiekers. No, his Lordship is magnificent
and liberal in all things. It matters not to him whether it
is to glorify his Maker—to feed and clothe the poor—assist
a friend in distress—or to do justice to a warm-hearted and
injured people. He has shown himself a worthy Christian
—a charitable man—and a good, liberal, and just land-
lord. Blush, ye Brunswickers, for your calumnies on such
a man.

It speaks highly for the generous spirit of
this country that freedom is not more its na-
tional characteristic than charity. On every
side we behold the noble sympathy of the
people express itself in donations to the Spanish,
Portuguese, arid Italian exiles—those men,
whose only fault, if fault it be, is to show their
patriotism by an excessive devotion to the cause
of liberty and the independence of their country.
They who were once the pride and ornament of
their native land, are now reduced to the neces-
sity of receiving the bare means of support
from the hands of the stranger Englishmen,
secure in their own unassailable liberty, and blest
with happy, because secure, homes, can form no
adequate idea of the miseries incidental to Foreign
States. But their humanity is far supe-
rior to their sense of personal inquietude—
they feel for the Exile with a brother's love,
and readily stretch out the hand of aid
to uphold the sinking spirits of those who
have trusted to their kindness by seeking the pro-
tection of Freemen. The British Government
actuated, no doubt, by motives of policy, is
rather insensible to the voice of humanity,
so far as the distresses of the exiles are con-
cerned, but the lukewarmness of the Govern-
ment is sure to be more than compensated
by the generous alacrity of the people. The
LORD MAYOR steps forward in this good cause
with a generosity well worthy the Chief Magis-
trate of a powerful and commercial nation, and
his example is likely to be followed iii the metro-
polis by many other public bodies arid institutions.
That enlightened society, the City of London
Literary and Scientific Institution, with a spirit
highly creditable to the patriotic feelings of its
members, has resolved, at a meeting held last
night, to get up a Concert at the Theatre of the
Institution, in behalf of the Spanish and Italian
Refugees. The LORD MAYOR is, we under-
stand, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Institu-
tion,
and will no doubt be highly gratified at
finding his own benevolent views so charitably
followed up by that liberal and enlightened body.
The theatre is one of the best music rooms in
the metropolis, and will no doubt afford great
delight to those who befriend the exile by their
presence. The LORD MAYOR will of course,
honour the concert by his best endeavours and
distinguished patronage.
