FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Etoile, dated Sunday, May '7.)
•
FLORENCE, APRIL 24.
The following is the copy of a letter written by M. Eynard to
the Duke (le Choiseul:—.

" I observe, with surprise, that on the 17th of April, you were
not yet easy respecting the disastrous news which had been circu-
lated respecting Missolon,srlii. I find it difficult to conceive that
Paris should have been without correct news on this subject for
eight days.

" The letter which I wrote on the 2l at of April has, doubtless,
allayed your apprehensions, by giving you certain facts—viz. th:4t
on the sth of April, Missoloughi was occupied by the Greeks,
who had successfully repulsed all the attacks of Ibrahim ; my news
is authentic, and I may even say official; all the other details are
merely on dits—the death of Ibrahim, the arrival of Fabvier, that
of the,flect, &c. &c. ; but all this will probably happen ; if our
brave fellows have been able to resist without succour, what will
become of Ibrahim if the intrepid besieged receive aid by land and
sea?

" The mail from Ancona will not arrive till the day after to-
morrow : till then we cannot have any news respecting Misso-
longhi. Accept, &c.
(Signed). "C. G. EYNARD."
PARIS, Aran. 6.
The', -Trieste Observer of the 25th of April at length breaks its
long silence to own that its letters from Corfu announce that,
though the fall of Missolonghi appears to be at hand, the lat.st
news is more favourable to the besieged. The Government of
the insurgents at Napoli di Romania, has ordered Fabvier, with
his excellent corps of 8,000 regular troops, and Gouras, with
3,000 other troops, to proceed by way of Corinth, Salon, and
Lepanto to join Karaiskaki, and 'snake a diversion in favour of
the besieged in the rear of the Seraskier. It is affirmed that this
plan has succeeded, and that the' Greek fleet, of 47 sail, with 12
fire-ships, has arrived before Missolonghi.
We find in the Gazette of Florence that the communications
with Missolonghi are open by way of Palita, whence relief is daily
forwarded to the besieged, which has been brought from Zante
and other neighbouring islands. A bark which sailed for Ancona
the Ist of April, from Campo, near Missoloughi, had confirmed
the news of the retaking of Vassiladi by the Greeks, and of Ibra-
him's being wounded.
On the Bth of Apte vessel from Santa Maura arrived at
Corfu.: the Captain states, that on the 6th he had heard towards
the Sikkth a heavy cannonade from seven in the morning till two
in the afternoon, whence it is supposed that there had been an ac-
tion between the Turkish and Greek fleets.

SEP.ILIN, APRIL 2s.

the son of the celebrated Czerny George was implicated. The
