FOREIGN INTELLIGRATCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Messager des Chansbres, March 21.)
EXTRACTS FROM THE GERMAN JOURNALS.

Letters from Vienna, of the 12th of March, say that a
report had suddenly been spread, that the Ambassadors of
France and England had received from their respective
Courts orders to leave Naples and repair to Constantinople.
Nobody can tell whence this news came, or on what it is
founded ; but it is certain that it has gained so much credit
as to cause a rise in the funds, which, however, might be
attributed with more reason to a reduction of the discount
to 4 per cent., which was to be taken into consideration the
following day in a general assembly of the bank proprietors.
His Majesty the Emperor, by an autograph letter, has
conferred on Colonel Count Dandolo the rank of General of
the Austrian navy.
Letters from Navarin of the 13th of February have
been received, which, announcing the departure of General
Maison, which at that time was supposed to be certain,
with only part of the French troops, says, that a number of
French officers and subalterns will remain in the Mores
to form and instruct the Greek Aroop.; but whatever ad-
, vantages may be offered them in Greece, those officers are
very unwilling to renounce, even for a time, the service of
their own country. They have agreed to it only on
conditions that they shoiald retain their rank and seniority
in the French army.
Subsequent accounts contradict the departure of General
Maison, lately appointed Marshal of France. So high a
rank is not suitable to the command of so small a division
of 5,000 or 6,000 men, which remain in the Morea under
the command of General Durieu. Hence it is inferred,
that the French Ministry has entirely changed its first
plan, and that in the beginning of spring fresh transports
will leave Toulon, to convey to the Morea an army twice
as numerous as that which went there last year.

It is confirmed from all quarters, that Demetrius Ypsi-
lanti had made very rapid progress in Thessaly.
In consequence of the occupation of the town of Vo-
nizza by Gen. Church, a communication was opened be-
tween the Gulf of Ambracia and the island of Salore, at
the time the Seraskier Redschid was shut up in Janina,
where the Mussulmans and Albanians had revolted against
him, because he had executed Ismael Bey.
The course of triumphs of the Greek armies in that
country have been stopped by the orders of Gen. /liaison to
his troops not to penetrate into Attica, and by the injunc-
tion of the President of Greece, in the name of the three
Powers, to cease sending troops to the island of; Candia.
The Archimandrite Gazir has died at Syria, in his '7oth
year : his loss is deeply felt by his countrymen. At the
beginning of the last insurrection he was at Vienna, where,
by long and useful labours, he had amassed a tolerable
fortune. We are indebted to him for an excellent Greek
Dictionary, in 3 vols. and he inserted very interesting and
scientific articles in the Mercury of Vienna, of which he
was principally editor. Scarcely had the Greeks formed
the design of throwing off the Ottoman yoke when he
quitted Vienna, without hesitating a moment, and returned
to his own country. He was Member of the first Na-
tional Assembly, and hence his conciliatory spirit frequently
restorel unanimity amidst the conflicts of passions.

SURREY COUNTY MEETING.

(From a Correspondent of the Times.)

A scene of indescribable confusion and outrage occurred
at Epsom on Saturday, at the conclusion of the Surrey
county meeting. The petition against Catholic conces-
sions was lying for siguatures in the great room of the
Spread Eagle Ina, whither a crowd of the freeholders,
with other persons, repaired for the purpose of signing it.
The petition was placed at the upper end of the room,
and the concourse of people who pressed onwards towards
the table on which it was spread rendered-it a most difficult
mattar to obtain access to it. In the bustle to attain the
object, the pressure was so great as to give a gang of well-•
dressed London pickpockets, who intruded themselves into
such goodly society, ample opportunity of exercising their
calling in a way that astonished many of the unfortunate
freeholders and the bumpkins, assembled on this memo-
rable occasion. The entrance into the great room, as it is
called, of tl►s Spread Eagle Inn, is up a flight of stairs, of
rather narrow dimensions, and the rush of persons at the
door, after thehreaking up of the meeting, was tremendous.
At this particular spot the thieves were most active.
Here a voice was heard to exclaim, " A thief is amongst
1111; have a care of your pockets, gentlemen, I have
lost my purse." Another voice, " My watch is
gong !" A third, " Where are the constables? I have
had my pockets picked." The crowd, however, was so
dense, that it was next to an impossibility for
those who had been hustled to retreat, anti they were
hurried along with the stream of people towards the ta-
ble—the goal at which all appeared eager to arrive.—
Many individuals who accomplished this desirable object
had as much reason of complaint as those who met with
impediments at the door of the apartment, for several of
the pickpockets surrounded the table, and regularly
" ramped" the pockets of the petitioners as they approached
with the intention of adding their signatures to the " No-
Popery" petition. One gentleman, a clergyman of the
established church, who was present at the meeting, at its
dissolution proceeded to the Spread Eagle, for the purpose
of signing the petition. The moment he entered the place
he was impelled forward, and arrived at the upper part of
the room, where the table was placed, without either of
his feet scarcely ever touching the floor. When at the
table, and about to make his signature, the reverend gen-
tleman experienced considerable pressure from the persons
about him, patiticularly from one man, who appeared to be
extremely officious, and who affected a great desire that the
petitioners who presented themselves at the table should
meet with as little annoyance as possible from the crowd.
This person, the reverend gentleman remembe►e to have
laid hold of hint tightly round the waist while he was
writing his name to the petition ; soon after which the
latter, on feeling his fob, found that his gold watch, toge-
ther with a purse containing money, were gone. Several
other individuals were robbed in a similar manner; and,
in point of fact, the Surrey county meeting was rendered
remarkable only by the vast number of the light-lingered
gentry that attended it.

SVICIDE.—A young man llama Rignmul
SAMPSON, 21 years of age, residing with his mother-in-
law, in Queen-street, put an end to his existence on Wed-
nesday evening last, by shooting himself in the chest with
a pistol. He was by trade a tailor, was married, and had
a child, though but jilt out of his apprenticeship. Pre-
vious to his leaving the shop of his master, he cut with 4
penknife in the frame work of the window, " Sacred to the
memory of RICHAIID SAMPSON', who departed this shop
on the 10th of March, 1529." It is rather singular that
an elder brother of this young man also put an end to his
existence by similar means about six years since.—Dtvon-
