FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Etoile, dated Sunday.)

PARIS, SEPT. 16.—The Diario di Romania says that the
last letters from Corfu speak of the lauding of Lord Coch-
rane in the island of Rhodes.

The Universal Gazette of Napoli di Romania of the
Bth, 9th, and 15th July, contains a narrative of the events
that have taken place in Laconia.
According to the Greek journal, Ibrahim lost 500 men
in the battle of Armiroa which lasted the whole day (the
4th), and in which the Arabs were repulsed nine times.
One of their Chief, supposed to have been most consi-
derable, was found among the dead. The attack made at
the same time by the Egyptians, by sea, was still more
unfortunate. Instead of finding the country, as they hoped,
quite defenceless, and all the forces of the Mainotes con-
centrated at Armiro, they were repulsed by the popula-
tion, who rose en masse, including 500 women who had
taken arms. Of the 1,500 Egyptians who had landed.,
scarcely a third were able to re-embark.
The Chiefs wha had fought on the 4th, at Ariiiro, fear-
ing that the enemy might receive reinforcements, had sent
to ask succour from Colocotroni, who finding, on his arri-
val, the Greeks victorious, and the Arabs driven back as
far as Calamata, sent troops to pursue the enemy, who
were in the defiles of Messina.

The Gazette of the 19th of July announces that Ibrahim
had retired from the territory of Sparta, and was in the
defiles of Messina. The Number of he 22d July an-
nounces that Athens was invested by the Turks. It ex-
pects the troops who are idle at Napoli to fly to the relief

July, signed by. Goura and the other Greek Chiefs who
were in the besieged city, by which they declare that they
will resist as IVLssolon)_chi did, and that they will bury
themselves under the ruins of the Propylex and the other
monuments, rather than suffer them again to be blackened
by the smoke ,of the camp of the barbarians.
A letter from Berlin says, that M. d'Olfers, who is
going to Brazie as Prussian Charge d'Affaires, was for-
merly attached to the Embassy of Count Fleming, at the
Court of Rio de Janeiro, The first business of M.
d'Olfers will be to conclude a commercial treaty, for which
he is said to have received extensive powers.
Great advantages are expected from the mission of M.
d'Olfers, not only in a commercial and political view, but
likewise with respect to science. He has studied medi-
cine and obtained a Doctor's degree, and is profoundly
versed in zoology and botany. During his first residence
at Rio de Janeiro lie made large additions to our Museum.

Lisp" SEPT. 4.—(Private Correspondence.)—The
news from Madeira, Terceira, San-Miguel, and Fayal, an-
nounce that the Constitution and Charter have been sworn
to in those four islands with the greatest•public rejoicings.
The Chiefs and Officers of the third regiment of artil-

lery, from which some men have deserted, have sent to
the Princess Regent an address, in which they make pro-
testations of their fidelity. (In. our correspondence of the
. .
30th,contamed yesterday's number,_ we have announced
that thirty men of this regiment had been just conducted
to the prisons of Lisbon.)
To the address the Princess replied in theie terms:—
" I know that ye have nut taken part in the crime of
some connivers,who have disturbed the public tranquillity,
and that you have done all that was in your power to main-
tain it; have a watch then both day and night on your
sub-otlicers and soldiers, establish in your corps the most
exact discipline, and dO not leave unpunished, the slightest
disobedience to the laws. It is by these means you will
destroy the efforts of .this haudfull of Portuguese, who,
without honour, without shame, and without religion, are
hired to entrap the ignorant. Be faithful to your duties
and to your oaths

'MADRID. SEPT. 5.—" The Charge d'Affaires of Por-
tugal in Spain has refused to take the oath to the Consti-
tution. The Secretary of Legation supersedes him till
the arrival of an Ambassador, whose appointment is
announced.

Report of General Roche to the Greek Committee of
Paris :

", GENTLEMEN—A sojourn of 18 months among the
Greeks, has made me acquainted with their principal
wants, and enabled me to appreciate of what utility the
different Committees throughout Europe engaged in the
Greek interest may be to them.
" If it be intended to succour them efficaciously, there
are two methods of doing it—the first would be to-tarnish
Lord Cochrane with steam-boats sufficient to enable him
to attack the Turks with success. The novelty of these
constructions would give him a great advantage over the
Turkish navy, which besides its ordinary incapacity, has
to contend with the most continual calms of the Archipe-
lago. Five steam-boats armed with Perkins's guns would
be sufficient, I think, for the present, but afterwards as
many as twenty might be raised, in order finally to com-
plete the destruction of the Turkish and Egyptian fleets.
Although the latter be partly manned by European renc-
gadoes, who better sustain the attacks of the Greeks, I
think that the first engagements on the part of Lord
Cochrane would be so victorious as to decide the fate 'of
opinion formed by the Greeks of
tGbriseeeceeielinfootrotdh
ecoliiiiigmh ander is beyond expression, and I am
persuaded that under his orders their ardour would be so
inflamed as to excite them to any enterprize, however
arduous, Those enterprizes it is not for me to point out.
Lord Cochrane
has a skilful and daring spirit, and when
on the spot, will know better than any person, the advan-
tage,to be gained from a people so easily excited, and
who only need a great man to conduct them to victory.—
The Greek navy is very brave, and has always fought well,
but there is a.want of upity in its operations. Even in
its greatest exploits it has never known how to profit by
success ; besides which, the jealousy which exists arming
ite Chiefs contributes greatly to prevent it from reaping the
fruits of ;its exertions, Thereis also wanting in its or-
ganizatiou that subordination so necessary in the operations
of armies by sea or land,
" The reputation which Lord Cochrane justly enjoys,
and the confidence Which he inspires, induce the belief that
he will obtain from the Greek navy what none of their
compatriOts have been able to obtain, not even Miatilis

" It is my opinion, that if Lord Cochrane for the pre-
sent could u,;semble five steam-boats, he might repair t°
11-Ydra, where he is expected to take the command of the
Grecian fleet, which is collected for the defence of this
island, threatened by the 'forks and Egyptians. He von.ld
find there a hundred and twenty well armed vessels,
